Lu Feng and Bai Bing hid from Sun Anguang’s search while discussing her arranged marriage, his past, and the Affection Thread Entanglement technique. On the fourth day, Lu Feng returned to the cave injured-looking and carrying a Mottled Blood Orchid, leaving Bai Bing alarmed.

• Lu Feng left the cave on the fourth day and returned much later carrying a Mottled Blood Orchid, while his disheveled clothes and bloodstains frightened Bai Bing.

Lu Feng reunited with Bai Bing in the mountain cave, gave her a Mottled Blood Orchid to conceal her presence, and parted from her as she planned to return to the Snow Region. After returning to Profound Wind City, Lu Feng learned from Jun Zi Mo’s letter that Qi Wansu was in danger and prepared to act.

• Lu Feng gave Bai Bing a Mottled Blood Orchid and told her its legend and how its fragrance could hide her from Sun Anguang and his group.

• Lu Feng and Bai Bing parted, and Bai Bing treasured the blanket and empty wine jugs from their time together in the cave.
• Lu Feng returned to Profound Wind City, found Qing Xue and Jun Zi Mo gone, and reunited with Jun Ziyi at Jun Man Restaurant.
• Lu Feng read Jun Zi Mo’s letter and recognized its final words, “Xiao Wan,” as a warning that Qi Wansu was in danger.

Lu Feng learned that the Sun Family had captured Qi Wansu to test whether Qing Xue was truly the Night Feather Sword Master, and he prepared a powerful auxiliary array to protect her identity.

• The next day, Lu Feng confronted Sun Ao, Sun Jian, and Wu Jin, who demanded that he demonstrate his strength before releasing Qi Wansu.
• After Sun Ao threatened Qi Wansu, Lu Feng activated the array with Qing Xue’s power and used Thousand Illusions Night Feather, making one of the Sun Family’s men scream.

• Lu Feng lured Sun Anguang and his twelve companions into the arrays, engulfed them in flames, and bound them with poisonous spirit silk locks.
• Jun Zi Mo arrived, questioned Lu Feng about Qi Wansu and the arrays, then hurried to the mountain’s foot at Lu Feng’s request.

• Jun Zi Mo told Qing Xue about Lu Feng destroying Absolute Yang Mountain, and they wondered where Lu Feng had gone.

Lu Feng reunited with Qi Wansu, temporarily suppressed her cold affliction, and arranged for her recovery before returning to Spirit Prison. News of the Night Feather Sword Master’s victory spread, prompting Yin Xiaolou to give up on her plans to capture him and Yu Yihan to hope that Lu Feng was alive.

• Lu Feng comforted Qi Wansu in a mountain cave, gave her Cold Poison Jade Ice Burn to suppress her cold affliction, and told her about Qing Xue impersonating him and the Jun Family’s plans.

Chu Yunjing and Luo Qingqiu received news of Lu Feng and set out south, while Luo Qingqiu broke through to the Heaven Soul Realm. Lu Feng returned to the Eastern Origin Spirit Prison and intervened when Mu Hongfei confronted his students, but he made Shao Yang and Man Zhongli apologize, leaving his students confused.

• Chu Yunjing finished a year of training, learned news of the Night Feather Sword Master, and sped south.
• Luo Qingqiu received the same news, broke through to the Heaven Soul Realm while playing her zither, and hurried south to rejoin her companions.

• Qian Xin and Ning Xiang explained that Kang Yi had struck Man Zhongli after Man Zhongli accidentally bumped into him and knocked over his food, and that Shao Yang had pursued Kang Yi to demand an explanation.
• Lu Feng led Man Zhongli and Shao Yang before Mu Hongfei and ordered them to apologize, while Mu Hongfei and Kang Yi smiled smugly.

Lu Feng engineered an apology from Mu Hongfei’s students before demanding compensation for their attack on Shao Yang and Man Zhongli. He defeated Mu Hongfei with a single palm, revealing strength far beyond his supposed Chakra Realm, while the others realized how fiercely he protected his students.

• Zhao Yan persuaded Jun Ziyi, Shao Yue, and Ning Xiang to trust Lu Feng, and Qian Xin returned with the assistant instructor.
• Shao Yang and Man Zhongli apologized to Mu Hongfei, after which Lu Feng demanded that Mu Hongfei answer for the blows he had dealt them.
• Lu Feng offered to settle the dispute with one palm strike, and Mu Hongfei agreed, believing Lu Feng could not hurt him.
• Lu Feng struck Mu Hongfei with the Ant Soft Palm, crushing his chest and knocking him unconscious.
• Kang Yi carried the injured Mu Hongfei to the Medicine Hall, while the assistant instructor and gathered disciples recognized Lu Feng’s true strength.

Lu Feng examined a falsified case file linking Di Qiu’s death to the massacre of the Jiang Family and warned Fan Linlin not to investigate openly, suspecting a traitor within the Grand Prison. He learned that his promotion had been blocked, then became interested when Fan Linlin offered him the vacant prison official post in Tian Yuan City, where he intended to settle old debts.

• Lu Feng returned to the Living Spirit Academy with his students, received materials from Bai Bing and Bai Xue, and heard they had left the Spirit Prison.
• Fan Linlin brought Lu Feng the case file about the Jiang Family massacre, and he discovered that someone had added a fabricated scapegoat to it.

• Fan Linlin revealed that Lu Feng’s promotion had been rejected, and he asked her to resign from his prison disciple position for him.
• Fan Linlin offered Lu Feng the vacant prison official post in Tian Yuan City, and Lu Feng recalled his unresolved grievance with Xia Xuhua and Zhuo Heng.

Lu Feng agreed to take over the unfinished investigation into Tian Yuan City's City Lord's Mansion after prison official Xia Xuhua committed suicide. He returned to the courtyard, revised his students' training plan, and demonstrated a spear technique linked to Xiang Tiange as he investigated its possible connection to the Blood Clan.

• Fan Linlin told Lu Feng that Fan Shaobo had found evidence against prison official Xia Xuhua, who took the blame and committed suicide, and that the Spirit Prison had suspended Fan Shaobo.
• Lu Feng agreed to investigate the City Lord's Mansion and asked Fan Linlin for Fan Shaobo's findings.
• Lu Feng returned to the courtyard, where Ruo Shui explained that she was suppressing her cultivation until after the Instructor Tournament, while Tang Yuan trained in the mountain range with Little Silver.
• Lu Feng gave his students a more demanding training plan, and Jun Ziyi learned she had to defeat either Miao Yu or Miao Yi one-on-one and survive a hundred moves against them both.
• Lu Feng demonstrated a brutal spear technique he had seen Xiang Tiange use, hoping to determine whether it was connected to the Blood Clan.

Lu Feng prepared Shao Yang and the other students for their training, then left the Spirit Prison for his new post in Tian Yuan City. His prison guards, Wang Wei and Xing Qi, judged him incompetent after he went to a theater instead of the Prison Manor and began plotting to gather evidence against him.

• Lu Feng gave Shao Yang Zhou Zhi's Nine Suns Spear and explained that he wanted Shao Yang to draw out Xiang Tiange's trump card and test for a Blood Clan connection.
• Lu Feng assigned Shao Yang a special Spirit Gathering Array and reviewed training plans for Qian Xin, Shao Yue, Man Zhongli, and the other students.
• After receiving his appointment as a prison officer in Tian Yuan City, Lu Feng agreed to let Zhao Yan visit his mother before they departed the Spirit Prison together.
• Wang Wei and Xing Qi met Lu Feng outside Tian Yuan City and privately resented his appointment, believing he had gained the position through Fan Linlin.
• Lu Feng sent Wang Wei and Xing Qi to the Prison Manor while he went to Hundred Flowers Garden, prompting them to decide to collect evidence of his dereliction and submit a memorial against him.

Lu Feng met with the Night Feather Hall Crowd in Tian Yuan City and learned that Night Wanderer Blade had been badly injured while investigating the City Lord's Mansion, while their search for Ma Qiufeng and the blood clan had made little progress. He returned to the Prison Manor and went straight to the Prison Affairs Office, surprising the four officers who assumed he had spent the day avoiding his duties.

• Wang Wei and Xing Qi returned to the Prison Manor and helped Dan Wu organize its official records while criticizing Lu Feng for going to Hundred Flowers Garden.
• Lu Feng received Ghost Performer's message and went to Cloud Pattern Brocade, where he met Blazing Enchantress and entered the Night Feather Hall Crowd's hidden refuge.
• Lu Feng learned that Night Wanderer Blade had been gravely injured while probing the City Lord's Mansion, gave him healing pills, and ordered him to recover before taking on more missions.
• Blazing Enchantress reported that the Zhou family had left Tian Yuan City and the Azure Sky Array Association had relocated, but the Night Feather Hall Crowd had found no trace of Ma Qiufeng or the blood clan.
• Lu Feng returned to the Prison Manor and headed for the Prison Affairs Office, while Wang Wei, Zheng Ba, Xing Qi, and Dan Wu watched and speculated about his motives.

Lu Feng faced a night raid at the Prison Affairs Office, where Bai Li used several imitation Treasure Items to trap and attack him. After recognizing her, he was caught by the Clarity Illusion Mirror’s assault, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Wang Wei and the other guards discovered a Five Elements Realm intruder on the roof and agreed they could not let Lu Feng die, though they hesitated to confront the stronger attacker.
• Lu Feng, who had sensed the raider while studying Tian Yuan City’s records, deflected an imitation Spirit Restraining Bowl but was trapped inside by an imitation Nether Silk Web and suppressing powder.
• Lu Feng escaped the office by exploiting the web’s weakness, then joined Wang Wei and the others in the courtyard as they faced the raider.
• Lu Feng used his Evil-Dispelling Spirit Eyes to identify the masked woman as Bai Li and wondered why she was attacking instead of joining Night Feather Hall.
• Bai Li ignored Lu Feng’s demand for an explanation, used a lamp to weigh down spiritual energy, and reflected its light with an imitation Clarity Illusion Mirror.
• The mirror’s light reached Lu Feng, blurring his vision and plunging his mind into chaos.

Lu Feng fought Bai Li after she attacked him over the death of Six Twisting Flowing Sword, then convinced her that he had killed the man and recovered part of the One United Sword Art. Bai Li joined Night Feather Hall, while Wang Wei and Dan Wu remained trapped in Heart Demon Illusions as Zheng Ba and Xing Qi awakened.

• Lu Feng resisted Bai Li's Clarity Illusion Mirror and fought her using formations that weakened her and strengthened him.
• Lu Feng recognized Bai Li's sword moves from a damaged manual he had taken from Six Twisting Flowing Sword and combined them with its surviving qi circulation methods.
• Lu Feng disarmed Bai Li and revealed that he had killed Six Twisting Flowing Sword, while the Night Feather Sword Master had taken responsibility for the deed.
• Bai Li believed Lu Feng and knelt, asking him to return the One United Sword Art; Lu Feng accepted her into Night Feather Hall.
• Bai Li explained that Wang Wei and the others could only awaken from their Heart Demon Illusions on their own, so Lu Feng set up formations to protect them.
• Zheng Ba and Xing Qi emerged from the illusions first and sought Lu Feng's help when they saw Wang Wei and Dan Wu were still trapped.

Lu Feng discovered Xia Xuhua’s hidden cellar and assembled the final fragment of an ancient map, then used a Source Stone to help Dan Wu escape the Heart Demon Illusion. Dan Wu recovered, but Wang Wei remained trapped as the chapter ended.

• Lu Feng returned to the Prison Affairs Office after the battle, while Zheng Ba and Xing Qi worried over Wang Wei and Dan Wu in the Heart Demon Illusion.
• While cleaning, Lu Feng found Xia Xuhua’s hidden cellar, recovered a third Heart Protecting Armor, and joined its map fragment with the other two to complete an ancient map marked with “Arm Cloud Mountain.”
• Lu Feng took the cellar’s soul coins and artifacts, then returned to find Wang Wei and Dan Wu still trapped in the illusion.
• When Dan Wu’s spiritual energy ran low, Lu Feng stopped Zheng Ba from transferring his own energy and gave him a Low-Grade Source Stone instead.
• Zheng Ba used the Source Stone to restore Dan Wu’s spiritual energy, allowing Dan Wu to break free from the illusion, while Wang Wei remained trapped.

Lu Feng used the remaining source stone efficiently to replenish Wang Wei, but Wang Wei remained trapped in his Heart Demon Illusion. Lu Feng chose to enter the illusion and help him, while Dan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi vowed to stand by them if the attempt went wrong.

• Dan Wu offered his life and loyalty to Lu Feng in exchange for more source stones, but Lu Feng took back the remaining stone and transferred its energy to Wang Wei with exceptional efficiency.
• Lu Feng explained that Wang Wei was absorbing energy slowly and seemed to reject it, leaving the brothers afraid he might never awaken.
• Lu Feng revealed he could enter Wang Wei’s Heart Demon Illusion using a Soul Secret Method, though he had only thirty percent confidence; Dan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi pledged to share the same fate if the worst happened.
• Dan Wu went to keep visitors away from the Prison Manor while Zheng Ba and Xing Qi stayed to guard Lu Feng and Wang Wei.
• Lu Feng set up a defensive formation, ordered Zheng Ba and Xing Qi to remain outside it, and prepared to enter Wang Wei’s illusion, uncertain which kind of heart demon he faced.

Lu Feng entered Wang Wei’s Heart Demon Illusion and discovered how childhood trauma, revenge, and the imagined deaths of Dan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi had driven him toward despair. The chapter left Lu Feng fighting Wang Wei inside the illusion, unable to reach him with words.

• Lu Feng used a dangerous soul technique to enter Wang Wei’s memories and found that Wang Wei offered no resistance to his Soul Power.
• Lu Feng learned that Wang Wei’s village had been destroyed when he was a child, and that Dan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi later became his closest companions in Spirit Prison Hall.
• Lu Feng saw how Wang Wei’s childhood trauma and his instructor’s death deepened his heart demon, which finally awakened when the illusion showed Dan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi dying.
• Lu Feng found Wang Wei beside the three graves and tried to explain that he was in a Heart Demon Illusion, but the heart demon twisted his words and left Wang Wei intent on dying.
• Lu Feng shattered Dan Wu’s gravestone to provoke Wang Wei, who leaped from the grave and attacked him with a broad blade.
• Lu Feng fought back with Laughing Cang Hai as Wang Wei’s attacks intensified, noting that Wang Wei had reached the Five Elements Three Qi Realm inside the illusion.

Lu Feng forced Wang Wei’s heart demon from his body and bound it with a reinforced sealing array. After Phantom Hand Ghost Blade warned him that Zhao Yan had been abducted, Lu Feng rescued the beaten youth from an attempted live burial and promised to stand up for him.

• Lu Feng knocked Wang Wei unconscious, expelled his heart demon, and trapped it in the Three Ding Four Jia Yin Restraining Array.
• Phantom Hand Ghost Blade arrived at Prison Manor, sealed Zheng Ba and Dan Wu’s acupoints, and waited for Lu Feng to emerge from the courtyard.
• Lu Feng learned that Zhao Yan had been taken to the outskirts of Tian Yuan City and followed Phantom Hand Ghost Blade to find him.
• Lu Feng discovered that Zhao An had arranged for Zhao Yan to be buried alive and allowed Phantom Hand Ghost Blade to deal with the two men digging the pit.
• Lu Feng freed the battered Zhao Yan, treated his injuries, and promised to stand up for him when he awoke.

Lu Feng rushed Zhao Yan back to Zhao Residence, but Zhao Yan's mother died after Zhao An made her believe her son had been buried alive. Zhao Yan buried her and asked Lu Feng to teach him the art of killing, while Lu Feng returned to Prison Manor and was thanked by Wang Wei, Dan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi.

• Zhao Yan told Lu Feng how Zhao An had beaten him and destroyed the herbs meant for his sick mother, so Lu Feng carried him to Zhao Residence.
• Zhao An showed Zhao Yan's bloodstained garment to Zhao Yan's mother and convinced her that Zhao Yan was dead, causing her to collapse and die before Zhao Yan could reach her.
• Zhao Yan attacked Zhao An and the guards in grief until Lu Feng stopped the fight and took Zhao Yan and his mother's body to Nine Bends Cemetery.
• Zhao Yan asked Lu Feng to teach him the art of killing so he could take revenge on Zhao An, and Lu Feng agreed after Zhao Yan buried his mother.
• Lu Feng secretly sent Zhao Yan back to Spirit Prison with Blazing Enchantress, then returned to Prison Manor, where Wang Wei, Dan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi thanked him for saving them.
• Wang Wei told Lu Feng that he had fully recovered and made a small breakthrough, and pledged his life to him.
