• A Tang Sect Captain led fighters into a house, where they found Old Mo and demanded a map of the plane; Old Mo said he had none.

The pursuit reached Haitian City, where Jiao Tian Douluo destroyed Tang Sect’s local industrial park, and the Federation was alerted.

Councilor Wang’s proposal to remain neutral and later befriend or recruit the Heavenly Court was adopted, leaving Councilor Yu warned for openly prioritizing the Tang Sect.

• The Federation Secretary-General told the council that the Heavenly Court was pursuing someone from the Tang Sect, possibly the Amorous Douluo, and councilors proposed investigating and destroying the organization if it used Evil Soul Master methods.

• Zang Xin offered Heavenly Court Three-word Battle Armor for its Titled Douluo and one set of Four-word Battle Armor as compensation.
• Heavenly Court demanded eight sets of Four-word Battle Armor, Three-word Battle Armor for members above Soul Douluo rank, and five hundred sets each of One-word and Two-word Battle Armor.

• Heavenly Court rejected Yun Ming’s offer and threatened him, while Yun Ming identified himself as Shrek Academy’s head and said the academy was helping a peaceful organization.
