• The sword turns on its wielder. Song Shuhang controls it remotely, drives it into the assassin’s chest, then cuts off all four of his limbs so he cannot fight back.
• Song explains that the weapon is actually his Black Iron Flying Sword, with a temporary sword-control formation left by Master Profound Principle. Its spiritual power is nearly exhausted.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen recovers enough to confront the wounded assassin and demand to know who sent him and why he wanted her dead.

Chapter Summary: “A Valuable Clue”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Moon Saber Sect’s senior brother, severely injured and with all four limbs broken, refuses to reveal his identity or motive for attacking Su Clan’s Sixteen.
• Sixteen threatens to take him back to the Su Clan, whose powerful interrogation and soul-extraction methods could force him to talk. She offers him a quick death if he cooperates.
• Song Shuhang theorizes that the assassin was attempting to frame an uncle from the Immortal Farmer Sect. By killing Sixteen after she met him, the assassin could make it appear that the uncle was responsible, provoking conflict between the Immortal Farmer Sect and Senior A-Qi.
• The assassin suddenly activates a blood-red saber talisman hidden in his mouth. Sixteen blocks and shatters the saber, but the talisman triggers a more dangerous technique.

• Moon Saber Sect’s senior brother: His fear of both the Su Clan and his own sect prevents him from speaking.

• Senior Brother Zheng Yan: Acts as a responsible senior figure, calming his junior brothers, correcting their assumptions, and beginning to clarify the conflict involving Su Clan’s Seven.

Chapter Summary: “Each Pursuing What They Need”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Senior Brother Zheng Yan explains the Immortal Farmer Sect’s grudge against Su Clan’s Seven, Su Huo (A-Qi). A-Qi originally visited their sect to request the Seven Radiant Wonderfruit, hoping to heal a junior injured during Tribulation Transcendence.
• The Immortal Farmer Sect refused to trade the fruit, insisting it was their supreme treasure and denying that it could heal Heavenly Tribulation injuries.
• That night, someone resembling A-Qi allegedly invaded the sect, defeated its strongest expert with a single saber strike, injured eighteen disciples, and stole the fruit. Because the intruder used A-Qi’s appearance and signature technique, the Immortal Farmer Sect became convinced he was responsible.
• Song Shuhang recognizes several suspicious details and suggests that someone may have framed A-Qi. He reveals that, after an Immortal Farmer Sect member failed to capture Su Clan’s Sixteen, an assassin immediately tried to kill her. This implies a third party is manipulating the conflict.
• Meanwhile, the Moon Saber Sect completes its relocation to Blue Origin Valley and activates a new Guardian Sect Formation designed by Gongzi Hai. The formation can increase the disciples’ combat strength by roughly twenty percent.
• Gongzi Hai secretly meets with a black-mist clone of the Anzhi Devil Lord and a mysterious purple bamboo strategist. They reveal that the failed assassination of Sixteen was part of a plan to lure A-Qi into conflict with the Moon Saber Sect.
• The Anzhi Devil Lord also failed to capture Sixteen, accidentally seizing the wrong person because a “big dog” interfered. However, the conspirators decide to proceed with their second plan: lure the Immortal Farmer Sect to Blue Origin Valley and use the sect as a test of the Moon Saber Sect’s formation.
• The conspirators intend to kill the Immortal Farmer Sect’s important figures while keeping its Sect Master alive temporarily, allowing their hidden agent within the sect to seize its secrets—including the method for using the Seven Radiant Wonderfruit.
• The Anzhi Devil Lord reveals that he captured Zheng De, an important Immortal Farmer Sect member, and the conspirators decide to keep him alive as a potential asset.

• The chapter ends with the arrival of Zheng Neng at the Immortal Farmer Sect’s temporary residence, setting up the next stage of the conflict.

Character Developments

• Song Shuhang becomes increasingly wary and perceptive. Rather than accepting the Immortal Farmer Sect’s version of events, he identifies the possibility that A-Qi has been framed and cautiously warns Zheng Yan about the attempted assassination of Sixteen.
• Zheng Yan initially tries to distance Song Shuhang from the sect’s feud but is forced to reconsider the situation after hearing about the assassin and possible manipulation.
• Su Clan’s Seven/A-Qi remains absent, but his reputation and emotional importance to Sixteen make him the central target of multiple schemes.
• Gongzi Hai is revealed as a calculating mastermind who treats the entire conflict as a controlled operation. He is confident that success depends on his plans rather than fate.
• The Anzhi Devil Lord appears powerful but unreliable and careless, having failed to capture Sixteen and mistakenly taken someone else. Nevertheless, he remains determined to provoke A-Qi.
• Ba Qianjun is shown to be desperate because of his chronic Tribulation Fire injuries. His need for the fruit makes him willing to support increasingly dangerous plans.
• The purple bamboo entity acts as a cold, strategic planner, focused on exploiting the Immortal Farmer Sect and extracting its secrets.

Significant Themes

• Manipulation and false appearances: The apparent evidence against A-Qi may have been deliberately manufactured, emphasizing how easily appearances and reputation can be weaponized.
• Desperation and belief: The Seven Radiant Wonderfruit’s rumored abilities illustrate how desperate people cling to uncertain hope, even when the truth is unknown.
• Misdirection and hidden agendas: Nearly every faction is pursuing a different goal beneath the surface, while the larger conflict is being engineered by conspirators.
• The limits of planning versus fate: Gongzi Hai dismisses the idea that Heaven determines outcomes, believing meticulous schemes can control events. His confidence contrasts with the repeated failures of the conspirators’ plans.
• Exploitation of others: The Immortal Farmer Sect, A-Qi, Sixteen, and even the Moon Saber Sect disciples are treated as tools in larger plots.

Important Character Interactions

• Song Shuhang and Zheng Yan: Zheng Yan explains the feud and asks Shuhang not to interfere; Shuhang responds by warning him about the suspicious attack on Sixteen.
• Gongzi Hai, the Anzhi Devil Lord, and the purple bamboo: Their private meeting exposes their shared conspiracy, disagreements, and willingness to use both sects as pawns.
• Gongzi Hai and Ba Qianjun: Gongzi Hai presents the second plan, while Ba Qianjun eagerly supports it because he believes the fruit may cure his long-standing injuries.
• The conspirators and Zheng De: Zheng De becomes an unwilling captive whose position in the Immortal Farmer Sect may help the plotters infiltrate and control the sect.

• Zheng Feng is injured but honest and mild-tempered. Unlike Zheng Li, he is more cautious and capable of considering that the sect may have been misled.
• Song Shuhang continues to survive through luck, improvisation, and cooperation with others. He is grateful to Sixteen and avoids provoking the Immortal Farmer Sect while trying to return home.

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Moon Saber Sect ambushes the Immortal Farmer Sect using a powerful formation. Although Zheng Neng rescues the severely wounded Immortal Farmer Sect master, several elite disciples sacrifice themselves to enable their escape.
• Ba Qianjun orders his disciples not to pursue the survivors.

Ba hopes this will cure his long-standing Heavenly Tribulation injuries and allow him to advance to the Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor realm.
• Su Clan’s Seven, Su Clan’s Sixteen, and Song Shuhang arrive at the blood-soaked canyon. Despite Shuhang’s concern that they should find reinforcements before confronting an entire sect, A-Qi confidently attacks alone.

• Su Clan’s Seven/A-Qi displays overwhelming confidence and combat ability, casually challenging the entire Moon Saber Sect alone. His repeated tendency to attack sects is treated as a familiar habit by the others.

Chapter 138 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Their hidden Heavenly Dipper Spirit Phoenix Token blocks the attack. Believing the defensive treasure can eventually be destroyed, Ba Qianjun prepares another strike.

• Gongzi Hai survives by using another defensive talisman, but he admits that he could not withstand a third attack from Su Clan’s Seven.

• Song Shuhang: Acts cautiously and follows Seven Lives Talisman’s instructions despite not understanding the full purpose of his position. His role changes from an observer to a participant in the formation’s outcome.

• Su Clan’s Seven and the Moon Saber Sect: Although he does not directly attack the disciples, his immense pressure drives them into madness and contributes to the formation’s completion.
