Fang Yue recognized Bai Xiaoya emerging from the White Bone Coffin and realized the Serrated Bone Sword had been refined from her soul, but an evolving rain disaster forced him to retreat before he could reach her.

• Bai Xiaoya wondered why she had tried to capture Fang Yue instead of killing him.

• Fang Yue entered Qing Si and decided to gather a few things before confronting Bai Xiaoya.

• Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was thrown over the wall by the long-haired girl and returned to find You Sisi being strangled while a Qing Guard was killed.
