Tushan Rongrong’s staged battle used Tushan Yaya and Feng Xiu to make the Yi Qi Dao Alliance believe Feng was a heroic newcomer defending them from Tushan. After Tushan Honghong appeared and drove the Daoists to flee for reinforcements, Rongrong ended the performance’s first half and planned the next stage.

• Tushan Yaya beat the Daoists and took their magical artifacts after Tushan Rongrong secretly stole Ximen Chuishi’s Sky Snake Wind-Chasing Fan.

Tushan Rongrong staged a battle between Feng Xiu and Tushan Honghong so Feng Xiu could gain a heroic reputation among the Dao Alliance as the human Purple Flame Dragon Lord, Feng Ling.

• Rongrong directed Feng Xiu and the Tushan sisters as they wrecked a Dao Alliance outpost and prepared Feng Xiu to appear gravely injured.
