Chu Yun learned through his system that Afuya carried a wisp of the Elf Empress’s soul and considered protecting her, while Afuya judged that he might one day stand above the Elf Race.

• Meng Ruoxue explained that Bloodline Ancestral Return gave Afuya the potential to reach at least the Elf Race ancestor’s cultivation level.

• Fu Yang broke through to the Peak Immortal Realm and asked the Grand Elder what had happened during his seclusion.
• The Grand Elder reported that two Sun Moon Holy Land Saint King elders sent to kill Chu Yun had died in Great Xia’s Imperial City, and that an investigation was underway.

Their elders decided to bring both Afuya and Chu Yun back to Elf Island, and four Eternal Realm elves set out for the Land of a Hundred Dynasties.
