• Qin Yuan told Mu Ning Xue he planned to stay about half a month and advance his Space and Chaos Elements using a Star River Vein.

• Ling Ling showed Leng Qing, Qin Yuer, and Tang Yue evidence implicating Luo Mian in the tainted blood serum scheme and possibly the Totem Black Snake incident.
• Qin Yuan said Wang Xiaojun could solve the plague, and Leng Qing contacted him and learned that Eagle Red Grass could cure it.

• At the Judgment Conference Hall, Zhu Meng demanded the Sky-Scraping Serpent’s surrender and threatened to eliminate it by force.

Qin Yuan confronted Zhu Meng during a council dispute over the Totem Black Snake, accusing him of seeking a pretext to attack it. He warned that even weakened, the snake could devastate them, leaving Zhu Meng and Luo Mian facing his public challenge.

• Tang Yue introduced Qin Yuan to Chief Judge Tang Zhong as a Totem Guardian, and Qin Yuan greeted him respectfully.

• Ling Ling found direct evidence implicating Luo Mian, and the councilors condemned him as he could only swallow his anger.

After the investigation cleared the Totem Black Snake, the Eagle Red Grass antidote was secured, but news from West Ridge revealed a White Demon Eagle assault on West Fortress. Zhu Meng and the others left to reinforce the fortress as the chapter ended.

• Zhu Meng had Luo Mian shackled and sent to the dungeon after Luo Mian denied responsibility for the tainted blood serum.
• Leng Qing reported that Wang Xiaojun had returned with Eagle Red Grass, but several Sky Eagle Mages had been killed when their Sky Eagles rebelled under a Monarch creature's influence.

Qin Yuan and Tang Yue fed defective Blood Agents to the Totem Black Snake to hasten its shedding and prepare it to prove its innocence at West Fortress. As the snake shed and grew stronger, Qin Yuan had Chaluo use its venom to produce God Devouring Larvae.

• Qin Yuan told Tang Yue that the Totem Black Snake still needed a Battle of Justification, and they stayed by West Lake to feed it the arriving defective Blood Agents.
• Tang Yue summoned the Totem Black Snake with her reed flute, and Ling Ling said its pale markings showed that it had not finished shedding.

• The Totem Black Snake released venom for Chaluo, who used it to create nearly a hundred God Devouring Larvae.
• The Totem Black Snake grew interested in Chaluo's work and increased its venom output as she continued producing larvae.

Qin Yuan gathered the God Devouring Larvae, then infiltrated the Spirit Hidden Tribunal's prison to kill Luo Mian and his followers before they could threaten him again. He slaughtered the prisoners until only Luo Mian and Vice Chief Judge Wang Yi remained.

• Qin Yuan collected the God Devouring Larvae produced by the Totem Black Snake and Chaluo, then told Tang Yue and Ling Ling he was going to eliminate Luo Mian.

Qin Yuan killed Wang Yi and Luo Mian, then headed for West Fortress to join the Totem Black Snake and Totem Sacred Tiger against the Great Monarch Silver Dome Lord. At West Fortress, Leng Qing and Qin Yuer led the Palace Guards to hold off the Silver Dome Lord’s Four-Clawed Demon Eagles while the leaders planned their response.

• Qin Yuan killed Wang Yi and Luo Mian in prison, and a patrolling guard later discovered their bodies.
• Qin Yuan headed toward West Lake to take the Totem Black Snake to West Fortress and challenge the Silver Dome Lord alongside the Totem Sacred Tiger.
• The Silver Dome Lord’s White Demon Eagle Legion attacked West Fortress, where Chief Judge Li Tian, Tang Zhong, Zhu Meng, and Yun Feng assessed the battlefield and the enemy’s strength.
• Leng Qing and Qin Yuer agreed to lead the Palace Guards and High-level Mages against the ten Four-Clawed Demon Eagles while the other defenders dealt with the Silver Dome Lord.
• Li Tian told Zhu Meng that Qin Yuer was Qin Yuan’s older sister by choice and appeared to be his girlfriend.

Qin Yuer and Leng Qing led the defense against the Four-Clawed Demon Eagles, while Zhu Meng and four other Archmages struggled to harm the Silver Dome Lord. The Eagle fight remained manageable, but the battle against the Monarch continued without a breakthrough.

• Li Tian revealed that Qin Yuer was an Archmage, and Zhu Meng, Tang Zhong, Li Tian, Yun Feng, and Wu Pingjing turned to face the Silver Dome Lord.
• Qin Yuer and Leng Qing held off the Four-Clawed Demon Eagles alongside the High-level Mages, though Qin Yuer restrained her power to avoid exposing herself.
• Qin Yuer froze two Four-Clawed Demon Eagles, and Leng Qing pierced their wings with Earth Dragon Stabs so they could be attacked on the ground.
• Qin Yuer and Leng Qing targeted the eagles' wings, grounding them one after another and easing pressure on the other defenders.
• Palace Guards killed one grounded Four-Clawed Demon Eagle, while several were injured; above the clouds, the Silver Dome Lord prevented the five Archmages from casting their strongest spells.

As the Silver Dome Lord’s Blade Domain overwhelmed the defenders, the Totem Black Snake arrived and saved West Fortress from the White Demon Eagles. Qin Yuan then said the Silver Dome Lord would be suitable to take for their own use, leaving Qin Yuer, Leng Qing, Tang Yue, and Ling Ling stunned.

• Zhu Meng began constructing the Super-tier Lightning Ring Punishment while Tang Zhong and the others held off the Silver Dome Lord’s Blade Domain.

• Qin Yuan pointed out the Silver Dome Lord and said it would be suitable to take for their own use, startling the others.

Qin Yuan sent the Totem Black Snake to protect West Fortress and fight the Silver Dome Lord after Zhu Meng and the others were defeated. The battle moved away from the fortress, and the arrival of an even more powerful White Tiger left its allegiance uncertain.

• The Silver Dome Lord forced Zhu Meng, Tang Zhong, Yun Feng, Li Tian, and Wu Pingjing to retreat into West Fortress, where they suffered serious wounds.
• The Totem Black Snake attacked the Silver Dome Lord, deflected its blade feathers, and carried it away from West Fortress at Qin Yuan's direction.

• A White Tiger with an aura more powerful than the Silver Dome Lord's appeared, and Tang Yue revealed that it was also a Totem Beast.

Tang Yue's group realized the Totem Sacred Tiger had helped protect the Totem Black Snake, while Qin Yuan and his beasts subdued the Silver Dome Lord. Qin Yuan began using Chaluo and waves of God Devouring Larvae to force the Great Monarch-level eagle to submit.

• Zhu Meng asked whether the Totem Sacred Tiger was friendly to humans, and Tang Yue said it would not harm them.
• Tang Yue stayed silent when Tang Zhong asked whether she knew the Totem Sacred Tiger, and Leng Qing and Ling Ling suspected it was connected to Qin Yuan.
• Qin Yuan stood on the captured Silver Dome Lord's beak and offered it the choice to submit or be beaten into submission.
• The Silver Dome Lord refused, so Qin Yuan had Chaluo use God Devouring Larvae to attack its soul while the Totem Black Snake and Totem Sacred Tiger held it down.
• The first thousand-plus God Devouring Larvae were wiped out by the Silver Dome Lord's resistance, and Qin Yuan told Chaluo not to worry about the losses.

Qin Yuan used the God Devouring Larvae to subdue the Silver Dome Lord, then ordered it to recall the White Demon Eagle Legion. After the battle, Zhu Meng questioned Qin Yuan and Tang Yue about what had happened, but they concealed their involvement and blamed their ignorance on the Totem Beasts.

After West Fortress was saved, Qin Yuan returned to West Lake with his companions and revealed that he controlled the Silver Dome Lord and the White Demon Eagle Tribe.

• Leng Qing warned Qin Yuan to keep his control of the tribe secret and confirmed that he had executed Luo Mian and his people.
• Qin Yuan said he planned to build a force, and Leng Qing left after mistaking his teasing look for romantic intentions.

They learned that Qin Yuan intended to establish a force there, and the Association agreed to proceed with the paperwork while warning Tang Zhong about the danger.

• Zou Hui ordered Yu Dizi to work with Wuyi Fortress to investigate why the Magic Wolf Clan and White Demon Eagle Tribe were converging on An Chong City.
• Zou Hui told the Association that Tang Zhong wanted to buy An Chong City and clear its demons to make it usable clan territory, and the members agreed to assist.
• The gathering demon tribes made the city’s assessment and purchase more difficult, prompting Cheng Ying to ask why Tang Zhong wanted it and how he planned to clear it.
• Zou Hui revealed that Qin Yuan, a twenty-year-old High-level Mage close to the Totem Black Snake, wanted to establish his own force in An Chong City.
• Yu Dizi suggested that the Totem Black Snake might clear the city, and Zou Hui decided to complete the procedures and inform Tang Zhong of the anomaly.
