• Chen Fei left Qian Yan City, gave Qu Qingsheng a secret seal to control Nie Li in an emergency, and began teleporting toward Min Yanlu.

Chen Fei learned that the Suppress Dragon Elephant technique originated from a damaged stone stele guarded by Saint Yama Sect at Skull Cliff Mountain, and decided to strengthen himself before seeking to study it.
