After breaking the curse and becoming a Professional Rank Godslayer, Xuan Ye escaped the Temple with Dream Island’s group while two powerful pursuers searched for them.

Xuan Ye accepted Yao Yao Knox onto the mission team after learning of her family’s status and planned to track the Jet Black Leopard’s escapees through Green Willow City. The group arrived there, where Xuan Ye reflected on his past in the city as they prepared to seek information.

• Yao Yao Knox insulted Cang Qiu and Luo Tian, and Xuan Ye asked why she had chosen the mission.
• Yao Yao Knox said she was visiting relatives in Arand, and Luo Tian revealed that she belonged to the Knox Family, the Heart-Guard Marquis family.

Xuan Ye returned to Green Willow City and learned that his potions had drawn the attention of the Northern Domain Marquisate, whose people were staying with the Amay Family. He left his companions in Old Mo’s care and went to investigate, as the Marquisate’s young leader sensed his arrival at the Amay residence.

• Green Willow City residents fled when they recognized Xuan Ye, and Old Mo hurried him and his companions to the Mage Tower.
• Old Mo told Xuan Ye that factions had seized most of his potions and that Northern Lands envoys might capture him to exploit his alchemy.
• Xuan Ye asked Old Mo to shelter Yao Yao and Nock while Luo Tian stayed with them, then vanished from the Mage Tower.
• At the Amay Family residence, Eunice Amay faced demands from a Northern Lands delegation, while its young leader discussed Dream Island and Master Ye with his uncle.
• The young leader sensed someone inside the hall and complained that the newcomer was only at Professional Rank.

Xuan Ye confronted the Northern Domain Marquisate delegation at the Amay Family hall and demanded to know its plans, while Hawkeye arrived at the Enchanter Guild’s Mage Towers seeking Guildmaster Oufu. The chapter left Xuan Ye facing the Marquisate’s powerful visitors as Old Mo and Yao Yao. Nock braced for trouble at the Guild.

• The old man’s pressure overwhelmed the Amay Family head and Buff. Silver until Xuan Ye emerged from hiding, unaffected.
• Buff. Silver introduced himself and offered to make Xuan Ye the Northern Domain Marquisate’s exclusive alchemist, but Xuan Ye said he was a teacher at Dream Island.
• Xuan Ye demanded the delegation’s force distribution and plans, and warned that he had blocked magical voice transmission.
• The old man threatened Xuan Ye, who replied that Laf. Silver had died in one second and that another Marquisate figure had also fallen.
• Hawkeye arrived at the Enchanter Guild’s three Mage Towers with three attendants and called on Guildmaster Oufu. Old Mo spotted the group and a flying magical beast circling above.
• Yao Yao. Nock worried that her Shouxin Marquisate ties and the academy’s strained relations with the Northern Domain Marquisate would make the encounter difficult.

Hawkeye tried to force his way into the three Mage Towers to retrieve the people inside, while Old Mo refused to hand them over. As Hawkeye began breaking the towers’ defensive nodes, Xuan Ye arrived and recognized the Northern Domain group.

Xuan Ye captured the pursuers guarding the Mage Tower, then learned that the survivors he was meant to meet had entered the Central Domain with three Northern Domain Marquisate forces after them. He discovered that the main pursuit force included a powerful Master-level expert, leaving him unsure whether he could protect the three families’ remaining Bloodlines.

• Xuan Ye learned that the survivors had entered the Central Domain and were being pursued by three forces from the Northern Domain Marquisate, including one led by a powerful Master-level expert.
• Xuan Ye realized that the teacher’s delay had cost Dream Island the initiative and that he was the final wave of reinforcements facing the pursuit.

• Yao Yao pointed out a wanted poster showing that the Jet Black Leopard had killed someone in town three days earlier and carried a one-Gold-Coin bounty.
• Xuan Ye asked Cang Qiu to find a cleaner inn and said they would visit the Mercenary Guild to learn more about the situation.

Xuan Ye, Yao Yao, and Luo Tian reached Mud Pit Town to gather information about the Jet Black Leopard. After Yao Yao demonstrated her strength in the Thieves' Guild tavern, Xuan Ye met with an informant and asked about the wanted criminal, keeping their real mission secret.

• Xuan Ye and Yao Yao refused to enter the filthy Mercenary Guild, so Xuan Ye went to the Thieves' Guild tavern to gather information while Luo Tian handled the maps.

• Yao Yao named the Jet Black Leopard as their target, and Xuan Ye agreed while keeping their true mission from the locals.

• Xuan Ye abandoned his plan to let Jack Ling escape and killed him with a Water Blade that cut him in two.

Xuan Ye swiftly killed the Jet Black Leopard, then took his students to an inn in town and shared precious divine wine with them. The first drink overwhelmed the students with its powerful effects.

• Xuan Ye decapitated the Jet Black Leopard before Luo Tian could fight him and explained that the enemy had used a Cursed Scroll and Witch Potion.
• Xuan Ye brought his students to an inn Cang Qiu had found, where Cang Qiu and Luo Tian looked forward to training against high-level magical beasts in the wetlands.
• Xuan Ye poured four cups of crimson divine wine and told the students to drink their first cups in one gulp without breathing.
• Xuan Ye and the students drank the wine, and the first-time drinkers flushed and sweated as its potent effects took hold.

Xuan Ye protected Yao Yao, Luo Tian, and Cang Qiu while they recovered, then confronted two Knight Brothers sent to eliminate his team. He trapped the brothers and their ambush group in his Magic Workshop, clearing the interception ahead while three pursuing teams remained.

• Xuan Ye carried Yao Yao and used Mage's Hand to bring Luo Tian and Cang Qiu to rooms, where he protected all three with a Barrier.
• After a day and a half, Xuan Ye welcomed the Knight Brothers, who had come to eliminate his team before carrying out their mission.

• The Career Rank ambushers entered the inn after its door opened, and the door closed behind them.
• Xuan Ye examined a Magic Communication Orb and concluded that three pursuing teams remained after he eliminated the forward interception.

Xuan Ye examined the captured attackers’ unusual eyeball-based Spiritual Power technique, then led his students toward the Wetland Swamp. Elsewhere, Elder Jin fled with Kusile and a group of survivors, but their pursuer destroyed an illusion and left them with little hope of escape.

• Xuan Ye analyzed the two captured eyeballs and found that they enabled a crude attack resembling Soul Impact.
• Xuan Ye took Cang Qiu, Luo Tian, Yao Yao, and Nock into the Wetland Swamp to wait farther inside the escape area.

• Kusile crushed the Magic Communication Crystal and told the academy not to send reinforcements because they had already been caught.

Xuan Ye reached Moro Ein’s group just as their pursuers were closing in, after capturing one of the enemy Archmages. Learning that Kusile had been gravely wounded by the most dangerous pursuing group, Xuan Ye abandoned a direct fight and asked Moro Ein to delay them with an interference spell.

• A silver-haired man reprimanded an Archmage for failing to track Xuan Ye’s group and ordered him to hurry after them.
• Xuan Ye learned from a communication crystal that the group would soon be caught, then left Luo Tian and the others with a scroll instructing them to go to Plains City.
• Moro Ein prepared Fengke to protect the younger members while he and the injured Kusile held off the pursuers.
• Xuan Ye landed on the concealed Swamp Giant Lizard, stopped Kusile from burning his Core, and revealed that he had captured an enemy Archmage.
• Moro Ein explained that Kusile had been gravely injured by a Master from the most dangerous pursuing group, and Xuan Ye asked him to use an interference spell to delay them.

Xuan Ye led Moro Aien and the survivors through the swamp while using the Giant Lizard’s clones to evade their pursuers, and he healed the wounded Kusile. When a Master Rank fighter attacked, Xuan Ye bluffed with magic scrolls and forced the pursuer to retreat, leaving their escape unresolved.

• Fengke Aien questioned Xuan Ye’s arrival, but Moro Aien agreed to trust him and directed the Giant Lizard to follow his route.
• Xuan Ye repeatedly changed their direction and had Moro Aien use the Giant Lizard’s clone skill to confuse the pursuing forces.
