• The Black Cat found a girl fishing on the frozen lake and decided to wait nearby for a Wu Tun that Cheng Han needed.

• Cheng Han deduced that Yan Shan kept three women, including his female assistant, then ended the school day and prepared to continue his Curfew Period patrols during winter break.
• Cheng Han traveled to Ice Lake with the Black Cat, whose scouting revealed a Demon Subjugation Squad camp nearby.
• Cheng Han identified the Blue Banner Demon Subjugation Squad as a small group led by the retired warrior Qu XiaoYing, then used the Capturing Dragon Stance to write a summons in the snow.
• Qu XiaoYing judged the unseen presence to be a Mystic Adept, left her spear behind, and walked into the darkness, fearing that a Mystic Master had trapped her.

The chapter ended with him activating the White Profound Jade Wall’s beauty phantom through remote resonance, leaving his imprint’s true level unknown.
