Mu Shaoan warned Li Guokui and Jiang Rong to hold their defenses and endure the coming war, then uncovered clues that Zhang Yang was still active and Yang Chao was trapped in a world being devoured by a monstrous creature. The Heavenly Mechanism Hall used Yang Chao's location to reveal the hidden threat, prompting Mu Shaoan to order an urgent search for the Three-Headed Monsters' weaknesses.

• Mu Shaoan told Li Guokui and Jiang Rong not to counterattack, to preserve the Ancient Demon Heavenly Realm Defense System and the Sword Immortal Plane, and to trust that a chance for victory would come.
• Mu Shaoan's insect reacted to a curse and revealed a fragmented exchange between Zhang Yang and Ancient God Li Meng, convincing him that Zhang Yang was still alive and causing trouble.
• Table delivered Mu Shaoan a strange tree trunk, and Mu Shaoan's insect exposed Yang Chao inside it; Yang Chao begged for help and warned that a three-headed, twelve-armed monster was devouring his world.
• Mu Shaoan, Li Guokui, Jiang Rong, and the Heavenly Mechanism Hall activated the twelve Heavenly Mechanism Grand Arrays and Eyes of Heavenly Secrets to investigate the threat.
• After seeing the newly revealed intelligence, Mu Shaoan ordered an immediate change in defense strategy and summoned the Heavenly Sword Clan's hundred-crafts strategist corps to find the Three-Headed Monsters' weaknesses.

The table revealed the Table World and its four Spiritual Plant World Trees, which Zhang Yang had developed through experiments in cultivation by civilization. Concerned about the coming battle, the table decided to secretly repair damage to the Sword Immortal World without directly joining the fight.

• The table defeated Sword Heart Child, Sword Intent Child, Fortune Child, and Divine Seal Child at cards, then sent them back to their posts in the Sword Immortal Grand Hall.
• The table entered the Table World, a realm he had managed for three thousand years after Zhang Yang entrusted it to him.
• The table’s experiments produced four Six-Colored Spiritual Plant World Trees, cultivated through the faith and civilization of ghosts, demons, humans, and Golden Core Daoists.

Mu Shaoan ordered the Sword Immortal World to release the Three-Headed Monsters before they could overwhelm its defenses, while the disciples feared the creatures would devastate the ground. Liang Jin revealed that the Sword Immortal Plane’s hidden earth-vein network could absorb Sword Qi radiation and potentially let them contain the invasion.

• Mu Shaoan warned that the Three-Headed Monsters could reach ten quadrillion and ordered the Ancient Demon Heavenly Realm Defense System to release them once their number reached 30 billion.
• Li Guokui reported that the nine great formations could kill only half the monsters, and Mu Shaoan refused to risk the defensive systems by modifying them or raising the release threshold.
• A second-generation disciple despaired that the landed monsters would require enormous amounts of High-Pressure Sword Qi to kill.
• Liang Jin explained that 500,000 primary Hidden Sword Earth Veins and their branches formed a dense network beneath the Sword Immortal Plane.
• Liang Jin calculated that the network could absorb Sword Qi radiation and help the defenders snipe the released monsters, astonishing Mu Shaoan, Li Guokui, and Jiang Rong.

Mu Shaoan realized Fatty Zhang’s enormous Hidden Sword Earth Vein network might have been a trap, then organized the Sword Immortal World’s defenses as an enemy assault began. At the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, Hu Chen detected signs of Dream Ancient God power in the attack and prepared to expose the enemy’s secrets.

• Mu Shaoan marveled at Fatty Zhang’s vast earth-vein network and suspected that his apparently empty headquarters had deliberately lured the enemy into a costly raid.
• When Sword Dao Law 4.0 warned of an attack, Mu Shaoan assigned Jiang Rong, Li Guokui, Liang Jin, and the other defenders their positions and duties across the Sword Immortal World.
• Mu Shaoan left his avatar to oversee the defense and returned his main body to the Destiny Chessboard to calculate unconventional tactics and seek contact with Fatty Zhang.
• Hu Chen ordered the Heavenly Mechanism Hall to use the Plague God Seal after the incoming black wind caused several elders to suffer blood tears.
• A Heavenly Mechanism Elder reported that the enemy’s army carried Dream Ancient God power, and Hu Chen activated his sword-seal vision to investigate the enemy’s true foundation.

Hu Chen used his divine ability to uncover the Three-Headed Monsters’ nature, but an ancient god killed him for spying. The Sword Immortal World’s defenses then smoothly repelled wave after wave of monsters, leaving Li Guokui and the others uneasy about how easy the battle seemed.

• Hu Chen dissected a Three-Headed Monster with his divine ability, and an ancient god’s power struck him down despite the defenses Mu Shaoan, Li Guokui, and Jiang Rong had prepared.
• Li Guokui confirmed Hu Chen’s true spirit had shattered, but said his discovery would let them kill the Three-Headed Monsters using only 1,200 times the High-Pressure Sword Qi.
• Mu Shaoan ordered the information shared and returned to closed-door cultivation while the Sword Immortal World prepared for the coming battle.
• Jiang Rong opened 3,600 flood channels, routing Three-Headed Monsters through the Heaven and Earth Barrier and into the sword arrays, which scattered them for the ground forces to kill.
• The defenders killed several hundred million Three-Headed Monsters in an hour with almost no losses, leaving Li Guokui and the others wondering why the battle was so easy.

Mu Shaoan watched Fatty Zhang’s defenses overwhelm the Ancient God 'Game' and inspected the Earth Vein Dispatch Hub, where Liang Jin explained the system supporting the battle. He left convinced that Liang Jin’s supposedly minor improvements were crucial to the war effort.

• Mu Shaoan concluded that the Ancient God 'Game' had lost as Fatty Zhang’s defenses and sword-qi arrays slaughtered the Three-Headed Monsters and repelled every attack.
• Mu Shaoan visited the Earth Vein Dispatch Hub and questioned Liang Jin about its arrays and how often the Dao Ancestor and Martial Uncle Table had visited.
• Liang Jin explained that he had designed a network of dispatch arrays to detect and recover sword-qi radiation, compress and purify sword qi, and return it to fighters and attack arrays.
• Mu Shaoan realized that Liang Jin’s improvements were far more significant than he had admitted and resolved to question Martial Uncle Table about his frequent visits.
• Mu Shaoan conceded defeat and vowed to change his surname if he ever teamed up with Fatty Zhang again.

Mu Shaoan understood how Zhang Yang’s World Tree, the sword immortal cultivation system, and the Hidden Sword Earth Vein made the Sword Immortal Plane wealthy and resilient. As the Ancient God "Game" continued its assault, he stayed to guard the world while its sword immortals and wood demons fought to defend it.

• Mu Shaoan traced the Sword Immortal Plane’s abundant resources and high tribulation success rate to Zhang Yang’s World Tree, efficient cultivation system, and Hidden Sword Earth Vein.
• Mu Shaoan left Liang Jin, erased what Liang Jin had told him from his mind, and resolved to remain behind and protect the base camp despite wanting to confront the Ancient God "Game."
• The Sword Immortal Plane’s defenses killed the Three-Headed Monsters emerging from the sword array, while wood demons absorbed and endured the resulting Sword Qi Storms.
• The Tribulation Transcending sword immortals sent fatigued younger disciples to meditate and took over the long-range attack formations themselves.

Table struggled under the curse binding him to Cousin Mu and secretly longed to escape, but he continued commanding the Wood Demon Legions for the Heavenly Sword Clan. He assured Liang Jin that the legions would protect the Hidden Sword Earth Vein as the battle against the Three-Headed Monsters continued.

• Table dreamed of his past encounter with Cousin Mu and remembered that killing him was supposedly the way to break his fate, though he feared the fatty who controlled him.
• Table arrived at the Earth Vein Dispatch Hub and hid his rage and despair from Liang Jin.
• Liang Jin praised Table for directing 1,500 Wood Demon Legions to shield the Hidden Sword Earth Vein and consume the Three-Headed Monster corpses.
• Table realized the wood demons could not rebel because their ancestors, four Spiritual Plant World Trees, were growing inside his realm.
• Table promised Liang Jin that the Hidden Sword Earth Vein would remain safe as long as any wood demon survived.

After the Sword Immortal Civilization annihilated the Three-Headed Monsters, Mu Shaoan organized the defenses and resources while Zhang Yang remained missing. Liang Jin upheld Zhang Yang’s safeguards for the Hidden Sword Earth Vein, and the chapter revealed that Zhang Yang had also established the Azurewood Realm to develop a new path for sword immortals.

• The Sword Immortal Civilization destroyed all 864 billion Three-Headed Monsters, though the Ancient Gods’ influence remained and Dao Ancestor Zhang Yang was still absent.
• Mu Shaoan ordered repairs to the Ancient Demon Heavenly Realm Defense System and put the world’s resources, including the monsters’ remains, under wartime supervision.
• Mu Shaoan, Li Guokui, and Jiang Rong considered using the spoils to develop their own sub-planes, but Liang Jin explained that Zhang Yang had mandated a five-hundred-year handover for the Hidden Sword Earth Vein and retained his oversight.
• Mu Shaoan abandoned plans to take over the Hidden Sword Earth Vein and promised Liang Jin the Earth Vein Hall would receive the people and resources it needed.
• Liang Jin used a duplicate to remain at the Earth Vein Dispatch Hub while his true body appeared in the Azurewood Realm, where Zhang Yang had gathered mortals and selected disciples to pursue a new path integrating multiple ancient legacies.

Liang Jin entered Azurewood Royal City and reflected on the Mystic Sect’s origins, organization, and influence. The chapter left him walking through the city as a senior Mystic Sect Elder, with the sect’s two major factions and their roles in the defensive war laid out.

• Liang Jin entered Azurewood Royal City and walked among its streets like an ordinary mortal to avoid drawing attention from senior figures.
• The chapter explained that the Mystic Sect consisted of Heavenly Sword Clan disciples who sealed their memories and lived as mortals before returning to the sect.
• The Mystic Sect grew from 1,060 disciples appointed by the Dao Ancestor and expanded through disciples’ descendants and carefully selected reserves.
• Liang Jin was identified as the Mystic Sect’s thirty-ninth-ranked disciple and one of its ten Elders, leading the Earth Vein Dispatch Faction.
• Pang Di led the other major faction, which maintained the Ancient Demon Heavenly Realm Defense System while Jiang Rong issued its public commands.

Liang Jin reported the Wood Demon Legion’s role in the defense and presented his insights into parallel processing to the Dao Ancestor, seeking approval for the Hidden Sword Earth Vein 3.0 project. A divine-image avatar used Sword Dao Laws 4.0 to develop Liang Jin’s work, leaving him with a major advance and a likely path to becoming a low-level Law Heavenly God.

• Liang Jin visited the Three Divine Temples in Azurewood Royal City and reported the recent battle to the Dao Ancestor.
• Liang Jin proposed beginning the Hidden Sword Earth Vein 3.0 project and submitted his parallel-processing insights for the Dao Ancestor’s approval.
• The Dao Ancestor examined Liang Jin’s insights and evolved them with Sword Dao Laws 4.0 into a scroll of parallel-processing possibilities.
• Liang Jin studied the scroll for nine days and nights before fainting, and the scroll carried him away.
• A divine-image avatar took the scroll and realized it had mastered and further developed Liang Jin’s Law of Parallel Processing.
• The avatar concluded that Liang Jin’s discovery could earn him a low-level Law Heavenly God position.

09 Sub-Account drifted through the void after fleeing the Heavenly Mechanism Hall’s pursuit, then used the Thousand-Eyed Pupil to find a ruined plane where he hoped to hide and recover. He entered the plane and discovered that living creatures remained, making him wary of a possible trap or other danger.

• 09 Sub-Account remembered how the evil eye had pursued him and blamed Zhang Yang’s Curse Transfer Divine Ability for his losses of cultivation.
• 09 Sub-Account used the Thousand-Eyed Pupil to see the Sword Immortal Plane’s radiation wheel and the Ancient God barriers locking it down.
• 09 Sub-Account spotted more than thirty other Plane Radiation Wheels and chose a failing white-lit plane as his destination.
• 09 Sub-Account traveled for ten days before entering the nearly defenseless ruined plane.
• 09 Sub-Account sensed that living creatures remained, covered himself with a piece of the rotten Heaven and Earth Barrier, and left Ancient Witch Clan marker anchors while watching for danger.

09 Sub-Account explored a ruined plane and decided it might hold immense resources while being too fragile to contain the Ancient God “Game’s” power. After concealing his strength with Eternal Petrification, he spent a month fishing from the plane’s edge for the remnant spirit of its dead heavenly way.

• 09 Sub-Account assessed the ruined plane’s fragile state and used Eternal Petrification to conceal his power as he entered.
• 09 Sub-Account reasoned that the plane could become a wealthy universe after descending to the Fifth Sequence and resolved to profit from it.
• 09 Sub-Account used Stone into Gold to create fishing rods and search for the heavenly way’s remnant spirit without entering the plane.
• 09 Sub-Account spent a month fishing from different spots along the plane’s edge, lowering nearly one million rods.

09 Sub-Account spent months fishing in a ruined plane, collected countless remnant spirits, and rescued a dying heavenly-law remnant spirit while concealing the power pursuing it. His observations revealed that the Sword Immortal World faced a massive assault, and Mu Shaoan confronted him for intelligence from beyond the blockade.

• 09 Sub-Account turned remnant spirits into nearly a hundred thousand spirit stones while fishing for a heavenly-law remnant spirit.
• 09 Sub-Account caught the plane's last heavenly-law remnant spirit, sealed the vicious power wounding it, and secretly returned that dangerous power to the plane.
• 09 Sub-Account used the Thousand-Eyed Pupil to discover that the Ancient God "Game" and more than a hundred Celestial Gods of the Thousand-Handed Race were blockading the Sword Immortal World.
• 09 Sub-Account realized that the Thousand-Handed Race had joined the attack after the Ancient God "Game" revealed the Sword Immortal World's possession of the Plague God Seal.
• Mu Shaoan stabbed 09 Sub-Account and demanded intelligence from beyond the blockade, and 09 Sub-Account identified himself as Mu Shaoan's cousin and agreed to tell him everything.

Mu Shaoan negotiated with Zhang Yang’s abandoned side account, Yang Yang Yang, and learned that a huge force had surrounded the Sword Immortal World. He answered Yang Yang Yang’s question about the ancient branches of humanity, including the long-lost curse branch, then put away the communication device and worried over the threat outside.

• Mu Shaoan demanded to know Yang Yang Yang’s location and situation, but Yang Yang Yang rejected his threats and insisted he was independent of Zhang Yang.
• Yang Yang Yang revealed that at least a hundred Heavenly Gods, including Law Heavenly Gods, surrounded the Sword Immortal World, while the Ancient God “Game” had gained reinforcements and was building a blockade.
• Mu Shaoan promised not to stab Yang Yang Yang again and offered to use his Apprentice Time Guardian access to answer a question in the River of Time.
• Yang Yang Yang asked about the branches of the Ancient Human Race before the Second-Generation Insecticide, and Mu Shaoan listed several, including the Golden Core Path, Primordial, mechanical, Sword Immortal, divine faith, magic-element, and curse branches.
• Mu Shaoan explained that the curse branch had likely perished long ago, then put away the tree trunk and worried about the gods surrounding the Sword Immortal World.

Zhang Yang tried to reassure his followers as the Dream Divine Kingdom weakened, then discussed with Li Meng's Sister how hope might point toward a higher form of Dream Law. The chapter left him naming this direction the Dream of the Soul.

• He Yimou told Zhang Yang that the Dream Dimension was rejecting them, their reserves were dwindling, and stronger Nightmare Storms were forming.
• Zhang Yang reassured his followers that their home was safe and revealed defenses and forces he had prepared there.
• Qu Shang and the others pressed Zhang Yang to reveal his real trump card, and he declared that Qu Shang was his greatest one.
• Li Meng's Sister suggested that hope might be central to dreams, prompting Zhang Yang to describe hope as something forged through despair and hardship.
• Zhang Yang proposed the Dream of the Soul as a higher direction for Dream Law 3.0.

Zhang Yang asked Butcher’s Assault Breaker Legion to become Dream Guardians, a change that would cost them their bodies, and announced that he would undergo it with them. Butcher agreed on behalf of the veterans after securing Zhang Yang’s promise to defend their world, and the group prepared to summon the legion.

• Zhang Yang explained that his proposed Dream of the Soul was too advanced for the current Dream Law research, while Li Meng's Sister described the long work needed to develop practical laws.
• Zhang Yang went to the Sword Immortal Grand Camp and summoned Butcher, whose Assault Breaker Legion had preserved its identity as Antivirus Hunters.
• Zhang Yang asked Butcher and the ten thousand eight hundred veterans to become Dream Guardians, warning that they would lose their bodies and everything they possessed.
• Butcher agreed to the change on the veterans’ behalf but asked Zhang Yang not to abandon their homeland and to spare the rest of the legion from being forced into it.
• Zhang Yang promised to explain the truth and accept volunteers, then declared that he would join them and quest the Dao with his own body.
• Yang Dandan quietly corrected Zhang Yang’s phrase, and Zhang Yang threatened to make him the first to sacrifice himself.

Zhang Yang converted himself and the Butcher's Assault Breaker Legion to Dream Law, hoping to build a powerful force in the Dream Dimension. The Butcher and the first hundred veterans emerged as unusually strong Dream Spirit Commanders, prompting Zhang Yang to resolve to catch up.

• Zhang Yang assembled the Butcher's Assault Breaker Legion and spent his remaining resources to acquire 120,000 units of Dream Law.
• Zhang Yang converted himself into a Dream Being, becoming a Dream Recruit before using Dream Light to reach Dream Spirit Captain strength.
• Zhang Yang explained the Dream Being ranks and the Law conversion process, then invited the legion to decide whether to convert.
• The Butcher and the legion members stepped forward to convert, revealing exceptional faith and will as their bodies became clusters of light.
• The Butcher and the first hundred veterans became Dream Spirit Commanders with special talents that inspired, trained, and intimidated other Dream Beings.
• Zhang Yang worried the veterans might surpass him and take his place as Dream Law Heavenly God, so he vowed to strive harder.

Zhang Yang assembled a powerful Dream Army and told the Butcher and the others that they had to descend Dream Mountain to find a new source of Dream Law. He revealed that their home could not hold out for a hundred years and that they needed Dream Law 3.0 to break the Dream Ancient God’s blockade and connect the Sword Immortal World to the Dream Divine Kingdom.

• Zhang Yang gathered a Dream Army using fewer than 20,000 units of Dream Law and kept its existence secret, even from Qu Shang.
• Zhang Yang gave the Butcher three missions: conceal the army, train in the Evil Dream Sea, and fight their way down from Dream Mountain.
• Zhang Yang explained that Dream Mountain led through eighteen layers of dreams and that he had been unable to pay its annual protection fee.
• The Butcher and the army reacted with alarm when Zhang Yang admitted he did not know whether they could defeat the powers below Dream Mountain.
• Zhang Yang revealed that their home could not survive for a hundred years and that they needed Dream Law 3.0 to break the blockade and connect the Sword Immortal World with the Dream Divine Kingdom.

Zhang Yang led Butcher’s Assault Breaker Dream Spirit Legion and a million enhanced Dream Recruits into Dream Mountain to explore its first layer, the Evil Dream Sea. After the vanguard cleared the area, Zhang Yang explained how Dream Law shaped combat and left the army preparing for a close-range battle.

• Zhang Yang refused He Yimou’s offer to send Sword Immortal Legions into Dream Mountain and ordered He Yimou and Wu County to guard the entrance.
• Zhang Yang led the Assault Breaker Dream Spirit Legion through Dream Mountain after Butcher and the other Dream Spirit Commanders went ahead to suppress its dangerous aura.
• Zhang Yang spent one hundred thousand units of Dream Law to improve a million Dream Recruits before bringing them into the Evil Dream Sea.
• Butcher’s vanguard cleared a wide area of the Evil Dream Sea and gained small amounts of Dream Law by killing Dream Beings.
• Zhang Yang told Butcher to favor simple weapons and close-range combat, then Butcher equipped the army with Dream Warhorses, cold weapons, and specialized troop roles.

Zhang Yang explained why he suspected Li Meng's Sister might be bought off and ordered preparations for a covert trap. He then forced the captured Spiritual Plant World Tree to cooperate by threatening to replace it with four World Trees he had cultivated.

• Zhang Yang told He Yimou that his 1.2 million Blunted True Spirit Particles had become his main body, then learned that news of his plan would reach Qu Shang and Li Meng's Sister soon.
• Zhang Yang explained that he suspected the Thousand-Handed Race could buy off Li Meng's Sister and ordered He Yimou to have Wu County and Guan Shan secretly prepare the Sword Immortal Legions for a drill.
• Zhang Yang revealed that he had captured the Spiritual Plant World Tree after it tried to escape and demanded its cooperation.
• Zhang Yang showed the Spiritual Plant World Tree four other World Tree roots he had cultivated, and it surrendered rather than be replaced and divided up.

Zhang Yang led the Butcher's legion into the Evil Dream Sea while secretly advancing Dream Root and the Hidden Sword Earth Vein behind it. He used a carefully cultivated image of weakness to draw the Ancient Gods' attention toward the Sword Immortal World, leaving his real objective undisclosed.

• The Butcher's legion advanced through the Evil Dream Sea as Dream Root secretly reinforced its rear and concealed the Hidden Sword Earth Vein.
• Zhang Yang monitored the advance from the army's rear and prepared to use matter from reality to break stalemates and establish a foothold.
• Zhang Yang addressed his audience like a livestreamer while surveying the battlefield, where the natives' forces gathered beneath a mist of red eyeballs.
• Zhang Yang explained that he had spent six months staging blunders and driving former allies toward the enemy to make the Ancient Gods underestimate him.
• The Ancient Gods focused their attention on the Sword Immortal World and expanded their blockade, allowing Zhang Yang to approach his undisclosed ultimate objective.

Zhang Yang revealed that the expedition’s true goal was to excavate the Ancient Demon Race’s Dream Projection Ruins and explained why its lost legacy was worth pursuing. He left the Sword Immortal World’s leaders confident that they could withstand a Mechanical Zombie attack while seeking the ruins’ inheritance.

• Zhang Yang showed the leaders the route to the Ancient Demon Race ruins and said they were the expedition’s real objective, not the occupied Dream Divine Kingdom.
• Zhang Yang described the Ancient Five Races and recounted how the Ancient Demon Race fought the Mechanical Zombies for more than 172 years before being annihilated.
• Zhao Baiyi asked whether excavating the ruins would make the Mechanical Zombies target them, and Zhang Yang explained the difference between the Mechanical Law and Mechanical Zombies.
• Zhang Yang said the Sword Immortal Civilization had developed enough methods to handle Mechanical Zombies and could easily defeat an invasion smaller than a hundred trillion.
• The leaders laughed and realized how much Zhang Yang’s long-term plans had strengthened their civilization.

Zhang Yang learned that Li Meng's Sister and 1,500 Sword Immortals had transformed into Dream Beings and joined the Butcher's campaign, disrupting his plans. After Li Meng's Sister took command and led the legion into battle, Zhang Yang could not reveal himself without exposing himself as a traitor, leaving him trapped by his own schemes.

• Zhang Yang learned that Li Meng's Sister had transformed herself and 1,500 students into Dream Beings, and Qu Shang argued that she remained loyal to them.
• Zhang Yang watched the Dream Sub-Account's livestream and saw the Butcher's legion suffer heavy losses against powerful Dream Beings in the Evil Dream Sea.
• The Dream Sub-Account spotted Li Meng's Sister arriving as a powerful Dream Being, then lost a Great Black Shark and fled when she discovered it.
• Li Meng's Sister took command of the Butcher's legion and led the Assault Breaker Dream Spirit Legion into a fierce attack.
• Zhang Yang realized he could not reveal himself or reclaim command because the army had seen him transform into a Dream Being, and the Dream Sub-Account had exposed its identity.

Zhang Yang abandoned his plan to recruit Li Qi as a suspected traitor after learning she had helped the Butcher's legion thrive without showing any evidence of betrayal. He decided to keep her under close watch, use her expertise, and expand their Dream Divine Kingdom while concealing his deeper plans.

• Qu Shang urged Zhang Yang to reconsider his suspicions after Li Qi refused the Thousand-Handed Race's offer and had proven valuable to the Butcher's legion.
• Zhang Yang learned that the Butcher's legion had won five battles, with its forces advancing dramatically under Li Qi's guidance and the abundant Dream Law resources.
• Zhang Yang ordered Li Qi to help establish the Butcher's Dream Divine Kingdom and planned to use her in the Ancient Demon Race ruins excavation while keeping her under observation.
• Zhang Yang proposed expanding the Dream Divine Kingdom into a real-world plane and bringing in at least one hundred billion mortals, though Qu Shang questioned whether they had the resources.
• Zhang Yang privately resolved to use the ruins as bait until Li Qi revealed the Ancient Demon Race's true location, while he maintained a gentle front toward Qu Shang.
