• Ye Xilan told Tang Hao that Clear Sky Sect visitors had arrived, and Tang Yuehua came to his cave escorted by soul masters.

• Tang Hao heard the villagers’ hopes for future luxuries and examined the steep, smooth cliff guarding the sect.

• Tang Hao formed a massive golden hand and told Tang Yuehua to get on.
