He showed her Ghost Ridge Palace’s attack on a Tide Watching Pavilion mine as proof of his sincerity and sent her back with a captured elder’s head.

• Chu Yangang approved the prospect of cooperating with Su Jie and said he wanted to hear the demon’s plan.

Su Jie trained with the Divine Gang Sword aboard the Little Thousand, then deceived his captive disciples when they tried to bargain for release. Near Fire Cloud Hall, he created a remotely controlled flesh-and-blood puppet and sent it toward the sect to pursue cooperation without risking himself.

• Su Jie practiced controlling the Divine Gang Sword while Wei Qingwan, Mo Shiyao, Jiang Lin, Yuwen Jing, and He Wenfeng served aboard the Little Thousand.
• Su Jie teased the women with a false offer of cheaper ransoms, prompting Jiang Lin and He Wenfeng to volunteer before he revealed he had been deceiving them.

Su Jie’s puppet avatar fought Di Pingqiu at Fire Cloud Hall, where Chu Yangang intervened and revealed a spirit treasure. After Di Pingqiu learned he had tested only Su Jie’s avatar, Su Jie returned to his flying vessel and began preparing his own plan against Tide Watching Pavilion and Ten Thousand Sword Alliance.

• Su Jie arrived aboard his flying magical boat, and his presence imposed such pressure that cultivators and Secret Treasure Realm elders were shaken.

Su Jie confronted Jiang Kai of the Blood Demon Cave, who accused him of stealing the Blood Sea Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. Su Jie overwhelmed him with a vastly greater sea of blood and let him flee, leaving the gathered cultivators in awe as the auction remained his priority.

Su Jie auctioned five captured righteous prodigies to demonic sects, but the auction became a trap when eight Dao Platform Realm experts revealed themselves and surrounded him. Su Jie summoned his own forces to face them, leaving the battle about to begin.

• Su Jie began the auction after Chen Yun brought Mo Shiyao, Yuwen Jing, Jiang Lin, He Wenfeng, and Wei Qingwan before the demonic cultivators.

• Situ Hao, Liang Weichi, and Yan Tianlei of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance joined the attack, bringing the number of revealed Dao Platform Realm experts to eight.
• Su Jie mocked the group for relying on numbers and called for his own forces, whose demonic light and ferocious might surged outside the auction house.
