Chapter Summaries

• Gongsun Ranran ordered her guards to attack Lu Feng one at a time, promising them credit for the bounty, and they charged him.

Lu Feng used the LingYu War Array to fight off Gongsun Ranran’s guards while badly injured, until Jun Zi Mo arrived and took revenge on those who had harmed him. Jun Zi Mo carried the unconscious Lu Feng away, and Li Jianxin said Lu Feng could recover fully in less than half a year, though he would need a wheelchair and assistance in the meantime.

Chu Yunjing reluctantly agreed to keep their plan from Jun Zi Mo and help restore Old Book if Lu Feng succeeded, just as Jun Zi Mo returned with Di Chen.

• Jun Zi Mo departed to use the Jun Family’s information network to search for the Extremely Yin Domain.
• Lu Feng chose to undergo both treatment methods at once, and Di Chen used Heavenly Silk Skillful Hands, Marrow Dissolving Liquid, and Purple Water Chestnut Paste to begin removing the bone fragments in his limbs.
• Lu Feng’s pain briefly stirred the Demonic Nature sealed in his soul, but Di Chen’s voice brought him back before it could take hold.
• After treating Lu Feng’s limbs over six or seven hours, Di Chen told Lu Feng and Chu Yunjing that Chu Yunjing’s condition was poison from the Dusting Numbing Palm, not an ordinary injury.

After seven days watching the clouds and stars, Lu Feng and Chu Yunjing awakened to powerful new insights, and their clash of fighting intent revealed that their paralysis was beginning to ease. Lu Feng gained a further breakthrough in sword intent, but a Battle Sect disciple arrived with news that Shao Yang had gotten into trouble.

• Lu Feng and Chu Yunjing watched the clouds and stars for seven days while Li Mubai, Tian Xiaofeng, and Chu Santong waited nearby.
• Chu Yunjing challenged Lu Feng to practice, and their fighting intent took form as they clashed, nearly overwhelming Li Mubai and Tian Xiaofeng.
• Lu Feng entered meditation after their clash, while Chu Yunjing discovered that his limbs had regained some sensation and found that directing his fighting intent inward helped counter the Dusting Numbing Palm's effects.
• Lu Feng comprehended a deeper Cloud Sea Sword Intent, stirring the distant clouds with sword light before returning from meditation.
• A Battle Sect disciple reported that Shao Yang had gotten into trouble, making Lu Feng and Chu Yunjing turn grave.

Shao Yang’s fear for Lu Feng drove him to overtrain until his battle heart was damaged, but Lu Feng revealed himself and helped him regain perspective. After giving Shao Yang final instructions, Lu Feng prepared to leave the mountain despite Chu Yunjing’s concern.

• A disciple reported that Shao Yang had lost control after his cultivation went wrong, and Chu Yunjing ordered him brought to the peak.

• Lu Feng decided to leave, and Shao Yang put away the wheelchair and offered to carry him down the mountain.

Lu Feng learned that Jun Zi Mo had died protecting Jun Ziyi, and he and Chu Yunjing questioned her about the attack. Li Jianxin revealed that Jun Zi Shuo had been present and that the Black-Clothed Guard was his subordinate, Vanishing Shadow; Lu Feng promised to handle Jun Zi Mo’s vengeance.

• Lu Feng suspected Jun Ziya wanted him to refine Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang for her own purposes, while Chu Yunjing concluded she had deduced Lu Feng's whereabouts through Jun Zi Mo's investigation.
• Lu Feng told Jun Ziyi to remain under Chu Yunjing's protection, but she argued that alliances with the Luo Family and Heaven Night Sword Sect could make Jun Zi Shuo wary of harming her.
• Lu Feng agreed to accompany Jun Ziyi to the Sword Appraisal Conference to pursue the Night Feather Soft Sword, disguised himself as an elderly man, and left the Battle Sect with her.

At the Sword Appraisal Conference, Lu Feng arrived with Jun Ziyi and Li Jianxin, where Sword Granny Su Wangyao approached and fixed her gaze on him.

• Xia Yiyun said Lu Feng had thousands of heaven-grade swords and explained that the sect could discreetly sell most of its own swords while keeping some in reserve.
• Xia Yiyun demonstrated the Little Green Mountain Sword Array, which let her control a sword to perform a move from the sect’s One United Swordplay.

• Lu Feng and Jun Ziyi arrived late at the Sword Appraisal Conference with Li Jianxin, whose warning gaze discouraged curious onlookers.
• Sword Granny Su Wangyao approached, and Li Jianxin greeted her before she looked past him and Jun Ziyi toward Lu Feng.

Jun Ziyi, Lu Feng, and Li Jianxin encountered a disguised wandering merchant selling treasures and clashed with Leopard Scythe’s Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect over a sword. Lu Feng recognized the merchant as Huang Helou and the sword as one from the Hundred Valleys Sword Ruins, while Leopard Scythe finally paid for it with nearly all the sect’s available resources.

At the Sword Appraisal Conference, Yin Xiaolou told Jun Ziyi she suspected the Night Feather Sword Master she had encountered was an impostor, leaving Jun Ziyi wondering what Qi Wansu knew.

• Nie Yuanbai returned the Source Stones and let Nie Lingshan keep the sword for two years, while Liu Chu and Nie Lingshan promised to remain devoted to each other.
• Lu Feng and Jun Ziyi went to the Sword Appraisal Conference platform, where Yin Xiaolou approached Jun Ziyi to ask whether she had met the Night Feather Sword Master again.
• Yin Xiaolou explained that she suspected the Half Saint Night Feather Sword Master was an impostor because he failed to notice errors in a letter about their past.
• Jun Ziyi questioned how an impostor could have sent Qi Wansu to teach her the Night Feather Swordplay and wondered whether Qi Wansu had recognized the deception.

Jun Ziyi and Yin Xiaolou questioned the mystery behind the Night Feather Swordplay, while the major sects’ strange lack of interest in Heaven Night Sword Sect’s wares revealed that traveling merchants had sold them powerful treasured swords. As Yin Moyin hurried the conference toward the unveiling of the Night Feather Sword and Sang Yu Mu, Lu Feng privately judged that the swords he had sold were still inferior to the Night Feather Sword.

• Yin Xiaolou questioned Jun Ziyi about the Night Feather Sword Master, prompting Jun Ziyi to suspect that Lu Feng’s relationship with Qi Wansu and the sword master was more complicated than she had thought.
• Jun Ziyi asked Lu Feng whether he was the Night Feather Sword Master’s disciple, and Lu Feng denied it.
• Leopard Scythe realized that several major factions might have bought peerless swords from traveling merchants, then grew angry when he discovered the merchant had disappeared and blamed Jun Ziyi for his losses.
• Nie Yuanbai connected the swords’ aura to the Hundred Valleys Sword Ruins and worried about the impact if someone could bring its hidden swords into the present world.

• Lu Feng observed that Huang Helou and the others had chosen their targets well, and judged their swords inferior to the Night Feather Sword.

Yin Moyin explained that the Night Feather Sword could be claimed by the first person to break through seven sword-intent barriers and subdue it. The challengers failed to pass the fourth layer, and Yin Moyin offered Sang Yu Mu as a prize if no one claimed the Night Feather Sword before the conference ended.

• Yin Moyin revealed that seven sword intents, including those left by several Heaven List powerhouses, guarded the Night Feather Sword, prompting objections from the crowd.
• Yin Xiaolou placed the Night Feather Sword inside the array, and Leopard Scythe volunteered to challenge it first.
• Leopard Scythe passed the first barrier but was forced out by Yin Tianhe’s combined Mountains and Rivers sword intents, then warned the others about the attack.
• Several swordsmen tried the array, but none passed the third layer, while Lightning Silver Serpent and Cold Moon Jade Rabbit barely endured the fourth.
• Yin Moyin promised Sang Yu Mu to whoever reached the deepest layer if no one claimed the Night Feather Sword, and Qi Tianque demanded to see the sword.

At the Heaven Night Sword Sect’s trial, Nie Wushuang passed four Sword Intents before being forced to withdraw, while Su Wangyao advanced through the first six and headed toward the final one. The Night Feather Sword trembled as she faced the seventh Sword Intent, leaving Yin Moyin astonished and the crowd wondering whether she could become its next master.

• Yin Moyin displayed and introduced the Sang Yu Mu sword, prompting many spectators to aim for it instead of the Night Feather Sword.

• Nie Wushuang passed the first four Sword Intents but withdrew at the fifth after the sequence of attacks depleted his mental strength.
• Su Wangyao rebuked Jun Ziyi for wanting to take the stage, but Yin Xiaolou confirmed that anyone could attempt the trial and warned Jun Ziyi to protect her Sword Heart.
• Su Wangyao passed five Sword Intents and advanced toward the seventh, causing the Night Feather Sword to tremble as Yin Moyin watched in disbelief.

Su Wangyao failed to claim the Night Feather Sword, and Nie Yuanbai also fell to the final Nether River Sword Intent. Jun Ziyi took the stage next and, with Li Jianxin appearing to protect her, suddenly broke through several Sword Intent barriers, leaving the Heaven Night Sword Sect and the gathered spectators stunned.

• Su Wangyao passed the seven Sword Intents but collapsed when she touched the Night Feather Sword, then withdrew to recover and promised to try again.
• Nie Yuanbai attempted the trial and failed at the final Nether River Sword Intent.
• Jun Ziyi and Li Jianxin brought her wheelchair onto the stage, where Jun Ziyi challenged Su Wangyao and insisted she would try first.
• Jun Ziyi began struggling against the first Sword Intent as Li Qiuhe and Leopard Scythe mocked her, while Lu Feng secretly sent Li Jianxin a strand of Soul Consciousness.
• Li Jianxin called out that Ninth Grandfather would protect Jun Ziyi, and she suddenly broke through several Sword Intent barriers, astonishing everyone.
