After defeating them, the three learned that the bounty had drawn a flood of people to the marketplace, where revenge seekers could sell the heads of Ten Directions Platform disciples for Spirit Stones.

• Xia Nishang struck Qianshan with a Divine Sense spike carrying fire poison, allowing Ji Busheng to injure him.
• Xia Nishang and Guyue used a Form-Swapping Talisman to reveal a huge Karmic Fire Red Lotus, forcing Great Dream Adept to escape with the Space-Sundering Escape.

• Sumiao and Tiantong’s two retainers remained near Ten Directions Platform Marketplace as violence spread beyond its shrinking defensive perimeter.

• Master Lingbing evaded the white fox’s attacks as Han Po guarded against a hidden attack from Feng Jun, and the fox eventually struck Lingbing and activated a talisman treasure to freeze him.
