Meanwhile, Gao Quan searched for the Emperor Dragon and learned the appearance of the Cultivator who had taken it, while Jiang Ping An stayed hidden as the Heavenly Dao Academy’s top prodigies began their contest.

Jiang Ping An lured Gao Quan into the White Willow Territory and used the Judge's Brush to provoke the Mutated White Willow.
