Mo Wenshen confronted Li Zhengyi over his support for Lin Bai, accusing him of preparing Kunxu to help Lin Bai because he believed Lin Bai was Lin Duo and Li Subai’s son. The argument ended with Mo Wenshen reminding Li Zhengyi that he, too, had betrayed Lin Duo and could become a target of Lin Bai’s revenge.

Lin Bai awakened the Demon Flower and fused with the Blood God Robe, unleashing overwhelming power against Mo Wenshen and the seven High Priests. He killed the Unreturning Sea High Priest and drove Broken Sword High Priest to flee, while the other High Priests remained in battle.

Lan Yuxin told Lan Ling that Kunxu had placed a costly bounty on Lin Bai, while the Devil Sect continued destroying Eastern Continent dynasties.

• Fu Qingshuang led Lin Bai and Hu Xin'er through teleportation arrays to a ruined city in the Jianghai Domain, where Lin Bai noticed three figures following them.
