Chapter Summaries

Lu Feng learned that a Soul Control Clan woman could awaken Leng Huaping if he found the clan’s Heavenly Fragrance Soul Jade, and he began training to protect himself before searching for it. Meanwhile, his allies in Fortune Source City waited anxiously for the Beast Taming Manor and Thunder Fire Sect negotiations, while Blazing Enchantress suggested opening a Pale Yellow Brocade Pouch.

• The Soul Control Clan woman told Lu Feng that Leng Huaping could be awakened with the Heavenly Fragrance Soul Jade and gave him a map to the clan’s hidden refuge.
• The woman explained the Soul Control Clan’s power and history, then assured Lu Feng that Leng Huaping would remain safe and be nourished in her care.
• The woman taught Lu Feng a method to stabilize his life soul and warned him to master it before entering Soul Control Clan territory.
• Lu Feng began cultivating the soul-stabilizing method in the woman’s soul-beneficial environment.
• In Fortune Source City, Iron Puppet, Blazing Enchantress, Ghost Performer, Night Wanderer Blade, Phantom Hand Ghost Blade, and Ghost Flute discussed the imminent negotiations and Lu Feng’s possible return.
• Blazing Enchantress twirled a Pale Yellow Brocade Pouch and asked whether they should secretly open it.

Blazing Enchantress and the others opened all three brocade pouches and learned the Hall Master’s plans involving Beast Taming Manor and Thunder Fire Sect, though they still did not understand the signals and timing. Meanwhile, Lu Feng mastered a soul-reinforcement method, received Woman’s Grand Dream of Three Thousand with a warning not to use it before reaching Heaven Soul Realm, and was sent out of the Domain Realm.

• Blazing Enchantress opened the second brocade pouch, which ordered the group to conceal their identities and wait outside Beast Taming Manor when flames rose.
• The group chose to disguise themselves as a newly risen force, and Iron Puppet assigned Night Wanderer Blade to arrange their attire with Blazing Enchantress.
• With Iron Puppet’s approval, Blazing Enchantress opened the final pouch, revealing the order to rob Beast Taming Manor before plundering Thunder Fire Sect, with “an empty nest” as the third timing.
• Iron Puppet warned everyone not to defy the Hall Master’s orders again, and the group prepared for the next day.
• Lu Feng awoke from cultivation with a stronger, more stable soul, and Woman passed her art, Grand Dream of Three Thousand, to him while warning him not to use it until he reached Heaven Soul Realm.
• Woman sent Lu Feng out of the Domain Realm, where he was astonished by the enormous clam shell behind him.

Lu Feng escaped Demon Suppression Forest and reunited with Ruo Shui and Ye Fan, learning more about the mysterious woman who saved him. He and Ruo Shui headed for Saltless Mountain to rescue Little Silver and pursue the True Dragon Blood as Beast Taming Manor and Thunder Fire Sect faced off there.

• Lu Feng left Demon Suppression Forest and found Ruo Shui waiting for him; she told him that Ye Fan had been punished with three months of confinement after trying to help.
• Lu Feng realized Ye Fan had accepted confinement willingly so he could study soul-based medical arts, then reunited with him at Qingyou Hall.
• Ye Fan punched Lu Feng for shutting him out of danger, warned that another such choice would end their brotherhood, and examined him over his recurring white hair.
• Lu Feng told Ye Fan about the mysterious senior in Demon Suppression Forest and resolved to verify whether she could help Leng Huaping; he and Ye Fan agreed to meet again in Profound Gold City.
• Lu Feng and Ruo Shui left for Saltless Mountain to rescue Little Silver and seek the True Dragon Blood, while Beast Taming Manor and Thunder Fire Sect had already entered a standoff there.

Beast Taming Manor and Thunder Fire Sect met at Saltless Mountain to negotiate their escalating feud, while Iron Puppet’s group watched from hiding. The talks collapsed into accusations over the deaths and injuries on both sides, leaving Beast Taming Manor on the defensive and the conflict unresolved.

• Zhuang Aoba and Apricot Blossom Rain confronted Thunder Fire Sect’s delegation, with Apricot Blossom Rain demanding that they hand over Wang Xu.
• Liu Chong demanded that Beast Taming Manor hand over Zhuang Shaoyuan, prompting Zhuang Aoba to reveal his son’s coffin and accuse Thunder Fire Sect of killing him with Thunder Fire Palm.
• Zhao Kun discovered that Liu Chong had concealed the circumstances of Zhuang Shaoyuan’s death and admitted that a Thunder Fire Sect disciple had struck the fatal blow.
• Zhuang Aoba blamed Wang Xu’s assault on Apricot Blossom Rain for provoking the feud, while Zhao Kun traced the conflict back to Apricot Blossom Rain’s Poison Insect Array.
• Zhuang Aoba suspected that another sect force had manipulated both sides, but Zhao Kun and Liu Chong dismissed the idea, leaving Beast Taming Manor at a disadvantage.

Thunder Fire Sect’s Fire Chamber exploded during failed negotiations with Beast Taming Manor, triggering a battle between the two factions. Night Feather Hall’s followers took position outside Beast Taming Manor to await the Sect Master’s next signal, then spotted him confronting Apricot Blossom Rain.

• Zhuang Aoba demanded Wang Xu and the Purple Feather Pearl from Zhao Kun, but Zhao Kun said Wang Xu was dead and refused to surrender the relic.
• An explosion and fire erupted at Thunder Fire Sect, and Apricot Blossom Rain revealed that Beast Taming Manor had planted someone there, prompting Zhao Kun to attack Zhuang Aoba and the two factions to go to war.
• Night Feather Hall’s followers recognized the fire and explosions as likely caused by Thunder Fire Pearls, then moved to a mountain overlooking Beast Taming Manor to wait for the third opportunity.
• The followers spotted Apricot Blossom Rain heading back toward the manor but decided not to intercept her, and then saw the Sect Master appear in her path.

Lu Feng confronted Apricot Blossom Rain over her attacks on his seven students and learned that she had taken the Silver Moon Demon Bear, Little Silver. Apricot Blossom Rain used the bear as leverage while Lu Feng began searching her soul for its location.

• Blazing Enchantress recognized Lu Feng, and Night Wanderer Blade stopped her from approaching when Lu Feng attacked Apricot Blossom Rain.
• Lu Feng killed Apricot Blossom Rain’s two guards and demanded that she answer for nearly killing his seven students.
• Apricot Blossom Rain pretended to surrender and reached for her Living Creature Pouch, but Lu Feng pierced her palm with an emerald green bead.
• Apricot Blossom Rain threatened to have the Silver Moon Demon Bear, Little Silver, killed unless Lu Feng let her go.
• Lu Feng broke Apricot Blossom Rain’s leg, dragged her close, seized her throat, and used a secret soul-searching technique on her.

Lu Feng discovered from Apricot Blossom Rain’s memories that she had helped Beast Taming Manor torment the Silver Moon Demon Bear, and he killed her before disguising her death as an attack by the Thunder Fire Sect. He and Ruo Shui discussed the consequences as Blazing Enchantress and Ghost Performer arrived with disguises for the group.

• Lu Feng learned that Beast Taming Manor was trying to awaken the Silver Moon Demon Bear’s Demonic Nature and that Apricot Blossom Rain had driven the spears into it herself.
• Lu Feng killed Apricot Blossom Rain, then used a Thunder Fire Pearl to make her death appear to be the work of the Thunder Fire Sect.
• Beast Taming Manor disciples found the charred bodies and fled to report that the Young Manor Lord had been killed.
• Ruo Shui defended Lu Feng’s actions and said Apricot Blossom Rain deserved to die for the injuries she had caused their companions.
• Blazing Enchantress and Ghost Performer arrived in masks, and Blazing Enchantress gave Lu Feng disguises for himself and Bai Li.

Lu Feng explained the secret plan that devastated the Thunder Fire Sect and prepared his masked allies to exploit Beast Taming Manor’s weakened defenses. At Beast Taming Manor, Xing Xiong Yi discovered his daughter Apricot Blossom Rain’s death, survived a spy’s ambush, and captured the attacker before the spy killed himself.

• Lu Feng told his allies that Beast Taming Manor’s lord would likely lead most of his forces against the Thunder Fire Sect, while Ghost Flute prepared to disable many of the soul beasts guarding the manor.
• Lu Feng explained that a poisoned avenger had destroyed much of the Thunder Fire Sect by using Red Niter to ignite its Thunder Fire Pearls, and said he would kill Zhao Kun after the man’s sacrifice.
• Xing Xiong Yi left seclusion and found two elders kneeling with Apricot Blossom Rain’s corpse, then collapsed in grief and fury.
• A mustached elder struck Xing Xiong Yi with Thunder Fire Palm and fled, but Xing Xiong Yi quickly caught and subdued him with the Pao Xi Dragon Taming Art.
• Xing Xiong Yi ordered the spy taken to the dungeon, but the spy broke free of the technique, reversed his meridians, and killed himself.

Xing Xiong Yi mobilized Beast Taming Manor to attack the Thunder Fire Sect, while Lu Feng and his companions slipped into the manor to reach the prison holding the Silver Moon Demon Bear. At the valley entrance, Ghost Flute began playing through Lu Feng’s Overtone Array to overcome the guards without provoking the imprisoned beasts.

• Xing Xiong Yi learned that Hua Yu had been killed by the Thunder Fire Sect and ordered the manor’s forces to march on the sect.
• Xing Xiong Yi divided Beast Taming Manor’s forces into three groups, leaving a small contingent to guard the manor.
• After most of the manor’s soul masters departed, Lu Feng led Ruo Shui, Blazing Enchantress, and the others past the arrays and toward the rear-mountain prison.
• Lu Feng’s group found the valley guarded by five disciples and decided not to attack rashly, lest the guards release the soul beasts.
• Lu Feng warned his companions to cover their ears and guard their soul gates, then Ghost Flute played his bamboo flute inside the Overtone Array.

Ghost Flute used the Overtone Array and Lu Feng’s formation to put the guards and beasts in Sunken Valley to sleep. With the path cleared, Lu Feng led the group into the valley to rescue the Silver Moon Demon Bear while cautioning them about which beasts they could kill.

• Ghost Flute’s Soul-Soothing Phantom Music put the guards and caged beasts to sleep, including the Earth Soul Realm soulmaster.
• Lu Feng saw the badly injured Silver Moon Demon Bear with his Evil-Dispelling Spirit Eyes and decided they needed to deal with the powerful beasts deeper in the valley before entering.
• Lu Feng woke Phantom Hand Ghost Blade and Night Wanderer Blade with blows to their necks, then revealed that their crooked necks were their punishment for disregarding his warning.
• Lu Feng arranged the Bodhi Heart Source Array, and the group lent Ghost Flute their Soul Power so his music could cover all of Sunken Valley and silence its beasts.
• Lu Feng ordered the group into the valley, allowing them to kill beasts bearing Beast Taming Patterns but warning them not to attack untamed beasts recklessly.

Lu Feng and Ruo Shui found the badly injured Little Silver in Sunken Valley and discovered it had been feralized, though it still had its own consciousness and might survive. Meanwhile, Thunder Fire Sect fell into disarray as Zhao Kuang led its disciples to retreat and Zhao Kun was driven toward a desperate fight against Beast Taming Manor.

• Lu Feng and Ruo Shui reached Little Silver, recognized it by its aura, and saw that it was chained, poisoned, and gravely wounded.
• Lu Feng confirmed that Little Silver had not been fully tamed, but sensed that its Demonic Nature had made it feral and feared it might attack them when it awakened.
• Lu Feng and Ruo Shui began treating Little Silver, removing the needles cautiously while preparing to restrain it if necessary.
• After the fire chamber explosion, Zhao Kuang recovered from his injuries, took the Sect Token, and led over a hundred Thunder Fire Sect disciples toward Cottonwood Forest.
• Beast Taming Manor's reinforcements and the Raging Wing Wind Chasing Falcon tipped the battle against Zhao Kun, who suspected Zhao Kuang of betrayal and prepared to fight to the death.

Xing Xiong Yi led Beast Taming Manor into Cottonwood Forest to finish off Thunder Fire Sect, where a dust-triggered beast tide turned the fight into chaos. Meanwhile, Lu Feng and Ruo Shui freed the Silver Moon Demon Bear from its needles and discovered that it had awakened with an uncontrollable ferocious nature.

• Xing Xiong Yi led most of Beast Taming Manor’s forces toward Cottonwood Forest after learning Thunder Fire Sect had retreated there and a beast tide had trapped its disciples.
• Zhao Kuang led Thunder Fire Sect’s disciples against Beast Taming Manor while Xing Xiong Yi fought Zhao Kuang above the forest.
• Xing Xiong Yi noticed Mad Ape Powder, but his moment of suspicion let Zhao Kuang land a probing strike.
• The battle shook more Mad Ape Powder from the treetops, driving the soul beasts into a frenzy and plunging both sides into chaos.
• Lu Feng and Ruo Shui removed the Silver Moon Demon Bear’s needles and spears, then Lu Feng explained that Beast Taming Manor had tortured and fed it ferocious beasts to awaken its bloodline.
• The Silver Moon Demon Bear woke and struggled violently against its chains, showing Lu Feng that it could not suppress its ferocious nature.

Lu Feng and Ruo Shui struggled to calm Little Silver as it grew increasingly feral, and Lu Feng realized they might suppress the ferocious aura before it took over completely. He left with Iron Puppet and Night Wanderer Blade to search Beast Taming Manor’s treasure vault for something that could help, while Ruo Shui stayed behind to keep Little Silver from escaping.

• Ruo Shui tried to soothe Little Silver with her white silk ribbon, but it showed no recognition or warmth toward her.
• Lu Feng recalled why he had rejected beast-taming methods and feared Little Silver would lose control and be hunted down.
• Lu Feng realized suppressing Little Silver’s ferocious aura might restore its reason and said Beast Taming Manor held something that could help.
• Lu Feng ordered Iron Puppet and Night Wanderer Blade to accompany him to the treasure vault while the others stayed behind.
• Ruo Shui agreed to hold Little Silver in the mountain hollow until Lu Feng returned.

Lu Feng led Iron Puppet and Night Wanderer Blade to the Beast Taming Manor lord’s pavilion to find the True Dragon Blood. He forced the pavilion’s array open with a Zen-infused palm strike, leaving his companions shaken by its strange power.

• Night Wanderer Blade identified the pavilion with a Wind Chasing Falcon sculpture, and Lu Feng found it beyond the fifth pavilion to the east.
• Iron Puppet stopped Night Wanderer Blade from entering the pavilion’s array, so Lu Feng openly approached and knocked out the patrol with a powerful palm strike.
• Lu Feng triggered the array, then struck again and blasted its spears aside, causing them to bow toward him as the pavilion doors opened.
• Iron Puppet and Night Wanderer Blade sensed the palm’s Zen Meaning as “Shallow Water's Din, Deep Pool's Stillness,” while Lu Feng judged that the still-developing attack could rival the quasi-Heaven Soul Realm.

Lu Feng uncovered the pavilion’s deadly second-floor array trap and realized the True Dragon Blood was hidden on the third floor, while a separate mystery might lie beneath the first. With Beast Taming Manor disciples approaching, he led Night Wanderer Blade and Iron Puppet outside to enter through a concealed window passage.

• Lu Feng detected four concealed arrays on the pavilion’s second floor and sent Night Wanderer Blade and Iron Puppet away before their combined formation could drain their spiritual energy.
• Lu Feng realized the formation pointed toward a possible underground vault, even though the Seven Souls Array sensed the True Dragon Blood on the third floor.
• Lu Feng found that the third floor could be reached through a window from outside after the stairway had been sealed, and inferred that the second-floor arrays had been turned into a trap.
• Night Wanderer Blade warned that Beast Taming Manor disciples were approaching, so Lu Feng led the group outside to climb toward the third-floor windows.
• Night Wanderer Blade silently scaled and circled the pavilion’s eaves, demonstrating the movement that earned him the evaluation “A born shadow walker, the blade of a wandering soul stalking the night!”

Lu Feng and his companions entered Beast Taming Manor’s treasure pavilion and seized its True Dragon Blood before the vault’s defenses began destroying the treasures. After Lu Feng drove off the manor’s defenders, they headed toward Beast Prison Valley, while Qian Gu learned that Zhuang Aoba and the Wind Chasing Falcon had also been badly injured.

• Night Wanderer Blade entered the pavilion through a window and avoided poisonous spiders hidden around its other windows.
• Lu Feng discovered the True Dragon Blood, but Night Wanderer Blade’s touch triggered a mechanism that opened the treasure boxes and began corroding their contents.
• Lu Feng gathered the spilled True Dragon Blood into his palm, collected the remaining treasures in the Kirin Ring, and ordered his companions to leave for Beast Prison Valley.
• Qian Gu confronted Lu Feng’s group, but Lu Feng’s palm strike knocked out the disciples and forced Qian Gu to abandon his attempt to stop them.
• Zhuang Aoba returned wounded with injured elders and the nearly dead Wind Chasing Falcon, and Qian Gu asked who had defeated them.

Zhuang Aoba discovered that the manor’s treasure vault had been plundered and pursued Lu Feng, who had taken the True Dragon Blood. Meanwhile, Lu Feng found Ruo Shui and the others battling the berserk Silver Moon Demon Bear, helped suppress its rage, and then went to confront Zhuang Aoba outside the valley.

• Zhuang Aoba told Qian Gu that Zhao Kun had stolen the Purple Feather Pearl but that he had slain Zhao Kun and reclaimed it; the Wind Chasing Falcon died from its wounds.
• Zhuang Aoba discovered the pavilion’s formation had been redirected and the treasure vault emptied, then learned that a masked thief had fled toward Beast Prison Valley carrying the True Dragon Blood.
• Lu Feng returned to Beast Prison Valley with his hand scorched by the True Dragon Blood and found the Silver Moon Demon Bear free, its chains snapped, and its soul beasts slain.
• Ruo Shui, Blazing Enchantress, Ghost Performer, Phantom Hand Ghost Blade, and Ghost Flute surrounded the berserk bear; Lu Feng deflected its chains and used Soul Consciousness to calm it.
• Sensing Zhuang Aoba approaching, Lu Feng left Iron Puppet and the Night Wanderer Blade to support Ruo Shui and went to the valley exit, where Zhuang Aoba demanded the True Dragon Blood back.

Lu Feng defeated and killed Zhuang Aoba by using an illusion array and a Dragon Blood pearl inscribed with Extreme Star Sky Evolution Patterns and Southern God Fire. After sparing Qian Gu, Lu Feng discovered his connection to the elder sent to Fortune Source City and demanded to know where the Manor had imprisoned the people it seized.

• Zhuang Aoba attacked Lu Feng, but Lu Feng’s illusion array made him strike an array soldier before Lu Feng counterattacked and badly wounded him.
• Lu Feng sent Zhuang Aoba a Dragon Blood pearl enhanced with Extreme Star Sky Evolution Patterns and Southern God Fire, killing him when the pearl burned through his throat.
• Qian Gu and the disciples begged for mercy, but Qian Gu used a flying blade to kill the disciples and swore a Soul Oath to keep Lu Feng’s identity secret.
• Lu Feng let Qian Gu leave, then recognized an embroidered pattern on his robe and asked about his connection to the elder sent to Fortune Source City.
• Lu Feng demanded that Qian Gu reveal where Beast Taming Manor had imprisoned the people seized from Fortune Source City.

Lu Feng returned with Dragon Blood to help Little Silver suppress its Demonic Nature, but first treated Ruo Shui and the others for their injuries. He chose to let Little Silver resist its frenzy through its own will, and the chapter ended as it obeyed him and opened its mouth to receive the Dragon Blood.

• Lu Feng questioned Qian Gu about the captured ordinary people, but Qian Gu released two Ironclad Pangolin Lizards and escaped without revealing the secret.
• Lu Feng used the True Dragon aura in his blood to frighten off the lizards, then took Zhuang Aoba's Storage Ring and found it nearly empty.
• Lu Feng returned to find Ruo Shui and the others had temporarily restrained Little Silver's Demonic Nature with White Silk Constriction and the Ghost Flute.
• Lu Feng healed the group's injuries before having Ruo Shui remove the silk so Little Silver could attempt to overcome its Demonic Nature by willpower.
• Little Silver began to lose control again, but Lu Feng's rebuke restored a trace of clarity, and it opened its mouth to accept the Dragon Blood he offered.

Lu Feng used Dragon Blood to help the Silver Moon Demon Bear suppress its Demonic Nature and strengthen his companions, but Ruo Shui could not tolerate the Dragon Blood and Lu Feng himself suffered a violent rejection when he tried to refine it. As the remaining Dragon Blood fell, the Silver Moon Demon Bear swallowed it, leaving everyone wondering whether it could endure the enormous power.

• The Silver Moon Demon Bear regained some self-awareness after swallowing one drop of Dragon Blood, but Lu Feng refused to give it more until it suppressed its Demonic Nature through willpower.
• The Silver Moon Demon Bear advanced to the Earth Soul Realm Middle Stage and resisted its intensified Demonic Nature while Blazing Enchantress and the others refined Dragon Blood and reached the Earth Soul Realm bottleneck.
• Ruo Shui tried to refine a drop of Dragon Blood but was injured because its extreme yang nature clashed with her extreme yin pure-water constitution, so Lu Feng helped expel it.
• After the Silver Moon Demon Bear suppressed its Demonic Nature, Lu Feng tried to refine Dragon Blood to repair his Spirit Soul Array, but his body violently rejected it and he lost his grip on the blood.
• Ruo Shui and the Night Feather Hall Crowd tried to keep the falling Dragon Blood from hitting the ground, but the Silver Moon Demon Bear suddenly leapt forward and swallowed the remaining mass.
