Ji Yaoyue blamed Chen Xuan and demanded help, while he pointed out that Vast Sword Sect had stopped paying for the Spirit Stones that kept the palace running.

• Ji Wushuang activated his Profound Heaven Sword Body and announced that he would use Ten Thousand Sword Intent to upgrade his Golden Core.
