• Wu Yong praised Gu Yuan's thousand-year-old wine and asked for hundreds of jars, so Gu Yuan settled on giving him fifty.

Wu Yong reflected on morality and power before leaving the Ancient Clan after Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Tomb, then gained a trait that strengthened his spear techniques. He continued his training by the sea while Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian watched, both now at Nine-Star Dou Zun.

At the auction, Wu Yong watched Yao Chen bid on a fragment map linked to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, as the price continued to climb.

Gu Xun Er remained devoted to Xiao Yan but was left speechless by her father’s warning about the consequences of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng joining the enemy.

• Wu Yong planned to enter the Demonic Flame Space as the Nine Nether Wind Flame and let it devour the Heavenly Flames gathered there.
