• The Five Elements Wanderer greeted Suihe as an old comrade, and Suihe acknowledged their past alliance before saying the Crane Immortal Sect could not accept the purpose of his visit.

Lin Xuankong tried to draw Five Elements Wanderer away from the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect by promising five Early Stage Immortal Artifacts, but Duan Qianchou exposed the offer as a ploy. Five Elements Wanderer demanded that Mu Shiba be handed over to the Seventy-Six Immortal Sect Alliance, and Elder Suihe activated the Crane Immortal Sect’s Sect Protecting Grand Array as battle began.

• Elder Suihe offered Five Elements Wanderer an Early Stage Immortal Artifact if he kept the Five Elements Immortal Sect out of the conflict, and Lin Xuankong approved the proposal.

• Elder Suihe refused to surrender Mu Shiba, summoned his First Grade Immortal Artifact, and rallied the Crane Immortal Sect’s cultivators to power its Sect Protecting Grand Array.

The Earth Immortals of the Seventy-Six Immortal Sect Alliance besieged the Crane Immortal Sect, while the sect defended itself with its powerful grand array and counterattacks. After the array's Sixth Grade Spirit Crane killed more than a dozen invaders, Five Elements Wanderer declared that the array had weakened and taunted the four allied sects that had arrived from the east.

• Five Elements Wanderer urged the allied Earth Immortals to attack the Crane Immortal Sect's grand array before it could summon a Sixth Grade Spirit Crane, and their assaults failed to break its barrier.
• Sect Master Li rallied the Crane Immortal Sect's Earth Immortals and disciples, who launched tens of thousands of weapons through the array to fight the invaders.
• Five Elements Wanderer exposed the Crane Immortal Sect's Immortal Artifacts, prompting the invaders to focus their attacks on them while Duan Qianchou and Duan He targeted Elder Suihe's sword.
• More than a dozen Immortal Artifacts arrived from the east and struck Earth Immortals who had sent out their golden cores; the array then summoned a Sixth Grade Spirit Crane that exploded and killed them.
• Five Elements Wanderer and Duan Qianchou recognized that the Spirit Crane's attack had depleted the array's immortal essence, and Five Elements Wanderer taunted the four allied sects for bringing only a handful of reinforcements.

The Five Elements Wanderer stopped the pursuit of Chi Liuxia and Guo Haishan, choosing to focus the alliance’s assault on the Crane Immortal Sect. As the sect’s grand array resisted hundreds of Earth Immortals, the Five Elements Wanderer unveiled a gigantic spirit talisman that alarmed Lin Xuankong and Suihe.

• The Five Elements Wanderer halted the alliance’s pursuit after Chi Liuxia and Guo Haishan mocked him and retreated with the other allied Earth Immortals.

• The Five Elements Wanderer summoned a vast spirit talisman, and Lin Xuankong and Suihe reacted with alarm.

As the Seventy-Six Immortal Sect Alliance joined its assault on the sect’s protective array, Lin Xuankong became eager to obtain the talisman, and the Crane Immortal Sect faced imminent destruction.

• Elder Suihe ordered the Crane Immortal Sect to attack, and its disciples and Earth Immortals launched their weapons against Five Elements Wanderer, who fought them off.
• Li Xiaolan remarked that it would be wonderful to seize the talisman, and Lin Xuankong considered whether its enhancement could stack with his own techniques.
• Five Elements Wanderer urged the Seventy-Six Immortal Sect Alliance to attack the protective array, and its Earth Immortals joined in while discussing slaughtering or capturing the Crane Immortal Sect’s disciples.
