Qingtian and Huang San Niang arrived at Vine Abyss Forest, where they recognized Tang Yuan’s Bone Removal Technique and learned that his brother had gone to face the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake. Qingtian flew off to find him, while Huang San Niang began testing a recruit’s knowledge of poison.

• Lu Feng formed the Heavenfall Sword Array and sent its swords toward the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake as it prepared to attack again.

Lu Feng used the Heavenfall Sword Array and the Startling Sting Shadowing Array to attack the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake, but even his arrows only pierced its flesh slightly. The beast trapped him in a poisonous domain that began contracting faster than his Water Purification Art could purify the venom, leaving his defenses on the verge of collapse.

• Lu Feng used the Heavenfall Sword Array to crack one of the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake's scales, then retreated when the formation failed to injure it further.
• Lu Feng set up the Startling Sting Shadowing Array and fired accelerated arrows, eventually breaking the damaged scale and embedding a poisoned arrow shallowly in the beast's flesh.
• The Teng Flood Dragon King Snake expelled the arrow, struck the ground with its tail, and filled the surrounding area with poisonous rain and miasma.
• Lu Feng failed to escape the moving poisonous domain, so he used spiritual wine and the Water Purification Art to draw in and gradually cleanse the venom.
• After half an hour, the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake contracted its domain, rapidly intensifying the poison until Lu Feng's purification and defenses began to fail.

Lu Feng watched a Silver White True Dragon overpower and kill the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake, ending the threat that had trapped him. The dragon took the snake’s beast core and left, while Lu Feng was left beside the corpse and scattered eggs.

• Lu Feng saw the Silver White True Dragon devour the poisonous miasma and seize the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake with spiritual-energy hands.

• The Silver White True Dragon twisted the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake apart and took its beast core, while Lu Feng realized the seal-like pressure on him had lifted.
• The Silver White True Dragon departed without looking back, leaving Lu Feng beside the snake’s corpse and scattered eggs.

Lu Feng returned from the Black Mist Forest with the snake eggs and the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake's corpse, then accused Qiu Bisheng of orchestrating the attacks and framing Judge. Though Qiu Bisheng challenged them to produce evidence and invoked Dragon Abyss's protection, Lu Feng called on Old Wood to help kill him.

• Lu Feng collected nine intact snake eggs and the Teng Flood Dragon King Snake's corpse, erased traces of his presence, and inspected the strange claw marks left by the Silver White True Dragon.

Lu Feng unleashed his Buddha's Wrath Sword Intent and shattered Qiu Bisheng's Azure Sea Sword Intent, leaving Qiu Bisheng battered and his state of mind in disarray. Lu Feng, exhausted, handed the fight to Old Wood, who stepped forward to face Qiu Bisheng.

• Qiu Bisheng trapped Lu Feng beneath his Azure Sea Sword Intent and demanded that he cripple himself and kneel, while admitting he had plotted to kill Hammer Old Jiu.

• Ling Jie told Lu Feng to prepare his Soul Searching Technique, then lifted Qiu Bisheng and punched him, leaving Lu Feng shocked.

Lu Feng and the others uncovered Qiu Bisheng’s grudge against Old Wood and his discovery of the jade pendant’s secret, but Ling Jie took the pendant and left for camp. Lu Feng then set out with Qu Qiqi, Tang Yuan, Xia Yiyun, and Bian Tianya for Phosphorus Fire Mountain Hollow, while Qu Qiqi asked them to persuade Old Wood to remain in Dragon Abyss.

• Qu Qiqi led Lu Feng and the others to Phosphorus Fire Mountain Hollow and explained that a thief had destroyed its Blazing Heart Vermilion Fruit vines, driving away the local beasts.
• Lu Feng admitted that he had taken three fruits and that his escape had left the beasts’ territory vulnerable; Qu Qiqi said investigators had sensed traces of Ghost Mask Flower Fox and another ruthless cultivator.
• Lu Feng acknowledged killing Fierce Fire Horned Lizards and other beasts, and Qu Qiqi questioned how he could have defeated so many powerful creatures four or five years earlier.

Lu Feng recounted how he had once escaped the Fierce Fire Horned Lizard colony, then was attacked by a Fierce Flame Centipede and its swarm. Tang Yuan helped him wound the centipede and used Spring Poison to scatter the swarm, while Purple Gold Hook and King Yama's Chain watched from afar and decided to let Mad Bear's group test Lu Feng and Tang Yuan first.

• Lu Feng explained that he had used Black Flame Vines to distract the Fierce Fire Horned Lizards and a fire pit fueled by vine sap and phosphorus powder to kill his pursuers.

• Purple Gold Hook and King Yama's Chain watched from a distant mountain and chose to let Mad Bear's group test Lu Feng and Tang Yuan before they acted.

Lu Feng's expertly timed archery poisoned and wounded all three, leaving Huo Shuang and his companions struggling to fight.

• Lu Feng used the Ten Thousand Jun Sinking Abyss Array to stop the Fierce Flame Centipede from self-destructing while Tang Yuan protected its shattered beast core.
• Lu Feng and Tang Yuan dispersed the beast core's remaining energy into Small Emperor Arrows, strengthening them with the centipede's vicious aura.
• Huo Shuang, Zong Feng, and Wu Chong confronted Lu Feng and Tang Yuan, revealing they intended to use them as bait because of their connection to Old Wood.

• Lu Feng fired a Small Emperor Arrow through the Awakening of Insects Shadowing Array, and the arrow vanished from sight before a bloody hole appeared in King Yama's Chain's chest.

Lu Feng killed King Yama's Chain with a Small Emperor Arrow while Purple Gold Hook escaped, then discovered clues linking the Netherworld Bow and Blazing Heart Vermilion Fruits to hidden truths about Worryfree Village and Ghost Mask Flower Fox. The group reached Xia Feihong's burial forest, where Bian Tianya confessed that Nie Mingfei was his master and the person Lu Feng had been seeking.

• Lu Feng's arrow pierced King Yama's Chain and struck a distant mountainside, while Purple Gold Hook fled under cover of black Mist Shroud.

• Tang Yuan and Lu Feng divided the storage artifacts according to their plans to study the Arrogant Heart Sutra and Iron Chain Skill.
• Lu Feng found refined Blazing Heart Vermilion Fruits in King Yama's Chain's Storage Ring, and Qu Qiqi feared Ghost Mask Flower Fox had grown much stronger.
• At Xia Feihong's burial forest, Bian Tianya apologized and revealed that Nie Mingfei was his master and the person Lu Feng was seeking.

Lu Feng told the group how Xia Feihong died fighting a Binding Earth Demonic Ape and led Xia Yiyun to the battlefield where her uncle’s sword scars remained. Meanwhile, Purple Gold Hook reported to Lan Lingxi that Lu Feng had killed Old Yan and others with arrows that vanished after passing through a formation, just as Lan Lingxi’s master emerged from seclusion.

• Lan Jitian revealed that he had advanced the Infernal Fire Nine Tribulations Art to the eighth level and explained how specialized bow materials could make arrows powerful enough to threaten Heaven Soul Realm experts.
• Lan Jitian promised to get Lan Lingxi Lu Feng’s bow but rejected her suggestion to attack Dragon Abyss, explaining that Qingtian aimed to become the strongest Soul Hunter rather than merely claim a local title.
• Lu Feng and his companions returned to Dragon Abyss Camp with Xia Feihong’s remains, while Xia Yiyun sat grieving quietly beside Lu Feng and Tang Yuan.
• Xia Yiyun compared herself to a bonfire and Lu Feng to distant rosy clouds, making Tang Yuan abandon his attempt to bring them closer.
• Xia Yiyun glanced affectionately at Lu Feng and decided that being able to call him Sect Leader Senior Brother was enough.

Qu Qiqi reported that Ghost Mask Flower Fox might have grown stronger by cultivating with stolen Blazing Heart Vermilion Fruits, but Qingtian Nan You Bai and the others were confident he posed no threat. Qingtian then summoned Lu Feng after Old Wood revealed that his long-lost friend was alive, leaving Nan You Ling waiting to hear why the bow and Lu Feng concerned her.

• Qu Qiqi told the Dragon Abyss leaders that Ghost Mask Flower Fox had used Blazing Heart Vermilion Fruits to cultivate, and they dismissed the danger he posed to Qingtian.
