• Over three months, the Four Emperors established their territories, while independent fighters such as Xiao Xiao, Gu Xin, Yuan Tian, and Leopard Girl gathered fame and followers.

After saving Gu Xin from his battle with Jin Liner, Ning Chen learned that Gu Xin had not seen Dong Yu or Xia Zhi and set out to search the west of the Blood Moon Ancient Battlefield. There, Golden Lion Hong Yuan advanced into Yuan Tian’s territory to seize a ravine where Immortal Jade had appeared, and Yuan Tian stood in his way.
