Chapter Summaries

The Shangqing Sect exploited the Reed Flame Valley’s Stink Poison to demand an exorbitant price for antidotes, forcing the four Grand Elders to spend their disciples’ Celestial Essence.

Daoist Qingwei and the others watched from the underground palace as demonic serpent vines dragged the invaders into a blade-filled glue river while they waited for reinforcements.

• Ming Yue reached 100 points and received a notice that he could claim a Crimson Profound Sword from the Shangqing Sect's Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

The Taiyin Sacred Ground’s leaders struggled to respond, while the Golden Peng King taunted them from concealment and the Earth forces prepared to exploit the chaos.

• Long Zhantian and Zi Tiandu demanded that Reed Flame Valley prevent the Celestial Wheel Shuttle from interfering, threatening to destroy the valley if the attack failed; Situ Fang's expression darkened.

As the eight great sects prepared to attack the Shangqing Sect, its allies planned to sabotage their Ember Sky Formation and use Earth-made weapons and crown poison against them.

Long Xiu'ao’s ancient bell stopped the bullets, and the Golden Peng King revealed the plague-poison-refined Celestial Wheel Shuttle.

• Yan Ling repeatedly called for the Void Beast Bone to return, but it ignored him.
