Arc 1The Pope’s Fall
Ye Qifeng’s arrival at Spirit Hall helped Bibi Dong advance, while Tang Hao’s escape after Ah Yin’s sacrifice set off a crisis that ended with Bibi Dong killing Qian Xunji. Spirit Hall blamed Tang Hao and moved against the Clear Sky Sect, while Yu Xiaogang’s attempt to return to Spirit City failed and Bibi Dong remained confined.
- Yue Guan rescued the infant Ye Qifeng from Evil Soul Masters and brought him to Bibi Dong, whose headaches eased and cultivation improved when she held him.
- Bibi Dong advanced to Rank 90, placed Ye Qifeng in the Wuhun Hall Orphanage, and later took Hu Liena as her disciple after her Innate Full Soul Power awakening.
- Tang Hao betrayed Ah Yin for her Hundred-Thousand Year Spirit Ring, but Ah Yin sacrificed herself to save him, and Tang Hao defeated Qian Xunji’s group before escaping with their son.
- Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji and devoured him, then reached an agreement with Qian Daoliu to conceal the truth and blame Tang Hao for the Pope’s death.
- Qian Daoliu declared war on Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect, prompting the sect to prepare for conflict while other factions chose caution or waited to benefit.
- Yu Xiaogang learned of Qian Xunji’s death, left Nuoding Academy to seek Bibi Dong, and was beaten and turned away at Spirit City’s gate before returning to the academy.
- Hu Liena told Ye Qifeng that Bibi Dong had been absent and barred from the Saintess Hall, while Ye Qifeng reassured her and anticipated Spirit Hall’s coming war with the Clear Sky Sect.
