Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong survived an attack by assassins from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and the Titled Douluo who arrived suspected Dai Yueheng of arranging it. Dai Yueheng blamed his brother Dai Huabin, while Huo Yuhao rejected revenge by assassination and challenged Dai Yueheng to a match after he obtained his next Soul Ring.
