Meanwhile, Bai Ze worried that his rising status would provoke suspicion, but the Heavenly Emperor ordered him and Bai Jiu to command two million new demon soldiers, leaving Bai Ze afraid his concerns might come true.

After Li Mo confronted him and forced him to his knees, Ying Zhao denounced him and began to self-destruct, threatening everyone nearby.

• Ping Peng celebrated as rumors spread that Li Mo intended to take Di Jun’s throne, while Cang Mingzi and Daoist Qing Wei discussed the growing chaos.
