• Ye Xuefu began setting up a formation while Ye Xueliang prepared the Ye Family’s spirit puppets and approached the Cloud Bat Demon King’s cave.

After Void Spirit Insects found a hidden Fourth-Order Secret Realm beneath a God Blocking Stone, Li Shangwu volunteered to enter first, leaving the group preparing for his investigation.

• Li Shangwu gave Ye Jingcheng the only jade slip his family had found, and Ye Jingcheng learned that it described the Eastern Wasteland Islands and a Pure-Blood Frost Flood Dragon but did not reveal the Fourth-Order Secret Realm’s location.

• Ye Jingcheng trapped the Shark Demon Emperor Yuan and its forces in the Chessboard Pearl, leaving the demon emperor frightened and weakened.
• Ye Jingcheng brought out the Saint Spirit Tower, intending to shock the Shark Demon Emperor Yuan into accepting a Blood Pact.

Ye Jingcheng defeated the Shark Demon Emperor Yuan with the Saint Spirit Tower and forced it into a Soul Contract, bringing its clan under the Ye Family’s control.
