Tang Xuan and Yang Wudi fought over the Aromatic Silk Beauty, matching spear and sword momentum despite Yang Wudi’s Soul Power advantage. Yang Wudi began using his Martial Soul Avatar after Tang Xuan’s Return to Dust technique injured him and raised questions about Tang Xuan’s connection to the Clear Sky Sect.

• Yang Wudi asked Tang Xuan to take in the Speed Clan, but Tang Xuan refused and offered to give Bai He enough money to support the clan for more than a decade if their meeting went well.

• Bai Chenxiang found Bai He immobilized, and Tang Xuan told her he would recover after Soul Imprisonment wore off.
