• As Hun Diao and the other man challenged the Blood Blade Saint, an ancient voice sounded, and the Blood Blade Saint realized the plague god had arrived.

Xiao Xuan explained that the Heavenly Flame Three Profound Transformations needed the Xiao Clan’s Dou Di bloodline to complete its Clan Mark, then sacrificed his remaining bloodline so Xiao Yan could inherit it. While Xiao Yan endured the Blood Pool, Liuli appeared in a dazed state and pressed herself on him, leaving him unable to resist her kiss.

• Xiao Xuan revealed that the Xiao Clan’s Clan Mark required Dou Di bloodline power and began transferring the clan’s final bloodline into the pool.

• Xiao Xuan arrived and stopped Liuli, while she challenged his choice to leave Xiao Yan in danger and understood that he had intended them to use the Sun Moon Same Heaven Technique.

Liuli woke in Xiao Xuan’s Tomb Mansion and learned that a mysterious object inside her could only be removed through Yin Yang Harmony, which would also greatly benefit Xiao Yan. To help Xiao Yan survive the clashing bloodlines in the Blood Pool, she joined him in the Sun Moon Same Sky Technique, and their power began to grow as their bloodlines fused.

• Liuli and Xiao Yan maintained their balance in the pool for days as their auras grew stronger.
