Long Haoyu and Long Haochen led the Radiant Angel Knight Order and their Demon Hunt Squad in a breakout, aided by White Little Beast and Haoyue. Their beasts’ bloodline suppression stunned the Three Great Demon Gods and opened a path through the enemy, but Long Haoyu feared the display would provoke an even stronger response from his grandfather, the Demon God Emperor.

• Although Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan urged an immediate attack, Long Haoyu told his team to wait and rearrange its deployment.

Long Haoyu led the squad into an attack on a Demon Grain Transport team, warning them that a Seventh Order demon was hiding among the convoy. As the battle began, a Bloodthirsty Beta emerged from a carriage, and Long Haoyu moved to face it himself.

• Long Haoyu intercepted the Bloodthirsty Beta with No Edge and declared that he was its opponent.

• The White Little Beast merged with Long Haoyu, transforming his body and wings and surrounding him with a majestic aura.

• Long Haoyu flew toward the carriage and slashed at the Emerald Twin-Bladed Demons and Demon Eye Warlocks guarding it.

Long Haoyu found and seized a guarded wooden box during the attack on the demon grain convoy, then led the Demon Hunt Squads back to Demon Extermination Pass. He handed the box to Gao Yingjie for the Military Department to examine, while Long Haochen suspected his brother knew what it contained.

• Long Haoyu and Gao Yingjie fought through the demons until Long Haoyu found the wooden box and stored it in his ring.

The squads gathered at the Military Department, where Long Haoyu anticipated that Yating would choose between him and Long Haochen.

• Gao Yingjie presented Saint Moon with a wooden box recovered by Long Haoyu's squad after they killed a Seventh-Tier demon, and explained that Long Haoyu had used forbidden power without suffering backlash.

Saint Moon revealed that the Rank 1 Demon Hunt Squad had recovered a Light Element Spirit and let her choose a Favored One from among the ten squads. Yating flew to Long Haoyu and Long Haochen but became unable to decide between the brothers.

• Saint Moon announced that Long Haoyu had handed over a Spirit Stove found during the Military Mission and that Yating would choose her own Favored One.
• Yating struggled to choose as Light Attribute practitioners tried to persuade her through voice transmissions.
• Long Haochen asked Long Haoyu whether they should also try to win Yating over, and Long Haoyu told him to let her choose freely.
• Yating flew toward the brothers, who both had strong Light Attribute auras, but grew confused as she looked between them.

Long Haoyu gave the Light Element Spirit to Long Haochen, who accepted Yating as his companion. After the other Demon Hunt Squads dispersed, Long Haoyu worried that the Demon God Emperor was nearing Demon Extermination Pass.
