• Wind Venerable told Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Lei Zi that Xiao Yan’s operation against Lin Feng had failed, and Xuan Kongzi and Tian Lei Zi feared Xiao Yan would expose them.

Lin Feng completed the Third Elder’s resurrection while the Pill Pagoda debated how to punish Xiao Yan for attacking fellow disciples.

• Lin Feng was shocked by the warning and realized the Three Giants had helped Xiao Yan intercept him in the Space Wormhole.

• Cao Ying returned the Green Lotus Core Flame to Lin Feng and told him that the Lesser Pill Pagoda intended to make an example of Xiao Yan.

• The elders opened the passage, and Lin Feng traveled through it to the Lesser Pill Pagoda before heading toward his residence as people watched him pass.

Lin Feng returned home and reassured Dan Chen, who was worried about his ambush, before the Lesser Pill Pagoda elders interrupted them to ask about his puppets. He displayed twenty-seven silver Earth Demon Puppets and four golden Sky Demon Puppets to the gathered experts.

Lin Feng sold silver and golden Sky Demon Puppets to the Lesser Pill Pagoda experts, while an elder bought the remaining Earth Demon Puppets and told him the First Elder Council had reached a result about Xiao Yan. Lin Feng suspected Gu Xun’er was protecting Xiao Yan and wondered how many Heavenly Flames Xiao Yan had absorbed.

• Xuan Yi proposed expelling both Lin Feng and Xiao Yan, but Lin Feng accepted the terms and challenged her to follow through.
