After Tang Yuan devastated Spirit Hall, he left Spirit City with Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, teaching Tang San that his overwhelming attack had been a killing technique rather than a Soul Skill. That night, Xiao Wu came to Tang Yuan’s room dressed in a nightgown, and the chapter ended as she stood shyly before him.

• Tang Hao appeared and demanded that Yu Xiaogang explain what he meant by Tang San being led astray.

Yu Xiaogang persuaded Tang Hao that Tang Yuan had corrupted Tang San and built a powerful force, prompting Tang Hao to plan retaliation. Since Tang Hao’s injuries were not fully healed and a direct attack was risky, Yu Xiaogang proposed recruiting the four former Clear Sky Sect clans to dismantle Tang Yuan’s influence.

• Yu Xiaogang blamed Tang Yuan for teaching Tang San to pursue power and kill, and claimed Tang Yuan had humiliated him.

• At the Strength Clan estate, Yu Xiaogang showed the Clear Sky Token to a guard, who hurried inside to announce him.
• Tai Tan rushed out demanding to see the token, then recognized it as his master’s and knelt before Yu Xiaogang.
