• Ye Qingxuan told Ye Qingxiao that a Sixth-grade Spirit Vein Source was available and said his retainers Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu had gone to protect the Ye Family.
• Ye Qingxiao agreed to seek the brothers’ help if needed, though he doubted their Early Spirit Transmutation Realm cultivation and assumed their trump cards were Tier Six Talismans.

Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing a Tier Seven Talisman before they departed, then returned to Qingxuan Blessed Land to sacrifice six Azure Devil Race Corpses. The sacrifice strengthened his Blessed Land as he prepared to raise his cultivation with the Dihuan Realm's Feedback Origin.

• Xie Yi reported that they were in Qingzhou, about two million kilometers from the state city, and that Heaven and Earth Suppression had disabled Teleportation Arrays.

Xie Wuyun ordered his Azure Devil Race subordinates to target Spirit Veins across Daoguang Commandery and gather high-tier Spirit Vein Sources. At the Ye Family, Ye Zhaojun decided to cultivate a new Six-element Spirit Root prodigy within the clan, while his growing sense of unease left him fearing an unknown threat.

• Xie Wuyun sent his subordinates to scout Major Spirit Veins, strike simultaneously in seven days, and collect Tier 5 and higher Spirit Vein Sources before returning to the Azure Devil Realm.

• Ye Wenqiu left to arrange preliminary education for the newly identified clan members.
• Ye Zhaojun recalled sensing terror during his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Early Stage and worried that his increasingly intense unease signaled danger.

The Ye Family was attacked by Xie Yi, a Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devil, but Ye Zhaojun emerged from seclusion and killed him with a Tier Seven talisman. Despite the family’s relief, Ye Zhaojun sensed that greater danger was approaching and warned them to stay inside.

• Ye Zhaojun remained uneasy after Xie Yi’s death and warned the Ye Family to avoid going out because great chaos was approaching.

Xie Wuyun learned from Xie Yi’s Life Token that a Tier Seven Low-grade Attack Talisman had killed him, then rushed toward the Ye Family to avenge him and seize its Spirit Vein Source. Ye Zhaojun sensed danger and handed Ye Wenqiu a Token and a talisman, leaving his intentions unclear.

Ye Zhaojun gave Ye Wenqiu the Ye Family Patriarch Token and Tier Seven talismans, warning him to flee if the family faced calamity. When Xie Wuyun attacked and shattered the Ye Family's Clan Protection Formation, Ye Zhaojun used the family's powerful talismans to resist, but the defense barrier began to fail, leaving him to order everyone to run.

• Ye Zhaojun entrusted Ye Wenqiu with the Patriarch Token, a Teleport Talisman, and three Attack Talismans, instructing him to keep the preparations secret and escape with nearby Clan Members if the Ye Family was attacked.

Ye Wenqiu escaped Cloud Mist Mountain with over a hundred Ye Family cultivators as Ye Zhaojun unleashed a barrage of Tier Seven talismans against Xie Wuyun, destroying the Ye Family’s home and killing countless people. In an unknown valley, the survivors began rebuilding as Ye Family Village, while Ye Wenqiu vowed to preserve the family and fulfill his father’s final wish.

• Ye Wenqiu and Ye Xiji led the survivors in building Ye Family Village as Ye Wenqiu vowed to find Ancestor Qingxuan and restore the Ye Family.

After surviving Ye Zhaojun’s barrage of Tier Seven Talismans, Xie Wuyun slowly rebuilt his body inside a Devil Cocoon, but lingering lightning injuries left him dangerously weak. He gathered two Spirit Vein Sources and fled through the Wormhole Passage to the Azure Devil Realm, vowing to return.

• Xie Wuyun’s remains slowly recovered amid the devastation until his flesh, Devil Qi, and Rule Power formed a Devil Cocoon.

• Ye Qingxuan stood over the ruins, grieving the destruction of his ancestral lineage and suppressing his fury.

After the Ye Family was destroyed, Ye Qingxuan sent Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu to protect Ye Qingxiao and hunt the Azure Devil Race responsible. Three years later, Ye Qingxuan had advanced to the Late Void Glimpse Realm and received a message from Ye Qingxiao and a final request from Ye Zhaojun.

• Ye Qingxuan vowed to avenge the ruined Ye Family and ordered Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu to join Ye Qingxiao in Daoguang Commandery and stake out the Azure Devil Race.

• Ye Qingxuan read a message from Ye Qingxiao and instructions or a request sent before his death by Ye Zhaojun, the Ye Family Patriarch.

Ye Qingxuan reviewed years of reports on the Azure Devil Race’s invasions and the spreading war between the Dihuan Realm and the Azure Devil Realm. The chapter ended with him reflecting on the helplessness of the weak as the conflict continued to claim lives.

• After Ye Qingxiao reported the Ye Family’s destruction, the Xuantian Sect sent a Void Glimpse Elder to investigate but found no trace of the Azure Devil Race responsible.
• The Xuantian Sect stationed twenty Void Glimpse Realm Elders across its Great Provinces and coordinated patrols with local powers to hunt invading Azure Devil Race.
• As invasions intensified across the Dihuan Realm, vulnerable human forces relocated or sealed their mountain gates while major powers remained occupied at the Border Pass and Void Battlefield.
• Human cultivators invaded the Azure Devil Realm in turn, destroying Magic Veins and seizing Demon Vein Sources as both sides escalated their attacks.
• Ye Qingxuan reviewed intelligence from his clones and wondered whether the war’s devastation was the sorrow of the weak.

After learning that Ye Zhaojun had arranged for surviving Ye Family members to rebuild the family, Ye Qingxuan resolved to help them without leaving Xuantian Sect or risking attachments he could not protect. He sent Ye Qingxiao to search for the survivors and dispatched his other clones to investigate and attack the Azure Devil Realm.

• The Dongxuan Edict assigned Ye Qingxuan the task of relocating Huangfeng City's mortal residents.
• Ye Qingxuan left Dongxuan City and flew toward Huangfeng City as cultivators outside the city remained scarce.

The Azure Devil Race’s invasion drove cultivators and mortals across Xingluo State to seek refuge in Dongxuan City, making it crowded and sharply increasing housing prices. Ye Qingxuan approved the city’s expansion, which would add space and shelter for newcomers, though its new districts would have weaker formations than the original city.

• As the Azure Devil Race destroyed cities and threatened cultivators and mortals, people from nearby factions and settlements migrated to Dongxuan City for protection.
• Four or five cities guarded by Nascent Soul Realm experts merged into Dongxuan City while retaining autonomy and forming their own Demon Hunting Armies.

• Ye Qingxuan approved Dongxuan City’s expansion application, allowing new districts to be built with Tier Six top-grade guardian formations.
• Ye Qingxuan relied on tasks to mobilize cultivators living in Dongxuan City, many of whom needed the income to pay their housing costs.

Ye Qingxuan relocated Huangfeng City with the Shocking Heaven Bell and brought its remaining cultivators to Dongxuan City, but left the city’s Spirit Vein untouched because the Dihuan Realm’s prohibition remained in force. He marked the Spirit Vein Hearts beneath several abandoned city sites to track Azure Devil invaders and headed toward the Gu Huang City site.

• Ye Qingxuan arrived at Huangfeng City, where its remaining cultivators welcomed him and confirmed that Wasp Daoist had dismissed the others.
• Ye Qingxuan used the Shocking Heaven Bell to take Huangfeng City and its residents, then brought the remaining cultivators with him to Dongxuan City.
• Ye Qingxuan considered extracting Huangfeng City’s Spirit Vein Heart but decided not to violate the Dihuan Realm’s prohibition or risk attracting the Azure Devil Race.
• Ye Qingxuan attached threads of Spiritual Sense to the Spirit Vein Hearts beneath four relocated cities so he could track Azure Devil Race members who excavated them.
• Ye Qingxuan flew toward the Gu Huang City site, reflecting that Gu Wuzhao had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm and led the Gu Huang Demon Hunting Army into the Azure Devil Realm.

Ye Qingxuan discovered that Azure Devil Race members had destroyed the Gu Huang City Site’s spirit vein and tracked one of them, choosing to keep the Nascent Soul Realm member alive so he could find a wormhole passage. He then summoned Bai Shuqing and assigned him the task of settling Huangfeng City’s mortal residents in Dongxuan City.

• Ye Qingxuan used traces of Devil Qi at the Gu Huang City Site to locate a cautious Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race member and marked him with a wisp of Primordial Spirit instead of killing him.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to Wan Ling Mountain and sent Bai Shuqing a summons through his Dongxuan Edict.
• Bai Shuqing flew to Wan Ling Mountain, reflecting on whether he should leave cultivation and hunt the Azure Devil Race to keep pace with the rising cultivators.
• Ye Qingxuan handed Bai Shuqing the Shocking Heaven Bell, which contained Huangfeng City’s mortal residents, and told him to arrange their settlement.
• Bai Shuqing reluctantly accepted the assignment, while Ye Qingxuan found his unwillingness amusing.

After Bai Shuqing departed, Ye Qingxuan opened a Demon Hunting Army system to spur Dongxuan City's cultivators to grow and compete as the great era approached.

• Bai Shuqing asked Ye Qingxuan for permission to enter the Azure Devil Realm and hunt the Azure Devil Race, and Ye Qingxuan approved after he settled Huangfeng City's mortal residents.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Bai Shuqing two seventh-grade high-grade talisman treasures, each capable of unleashing Late Void Glimpse Realm power three times, and Bai Shuqing accepted them as protection.
• Bai Shuqing settled Huangfeng City's mortal residents, returned the Shocking Heaven Bell, and left Dongxuan City for the nearest passage to the Azure Devil Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan announced that Nascent Soul Realm and higher Core Members could form Demon Hunting Armies, earn Demon Hunting Points, and exchange them for inheritance resources and military formations.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to let Dongxuan City's Demon Hunting Armies compete and grow, believing they could establish the city's place in the approaching great era.
