• Ning Rongrong greeted Gu Rong as Han Yu noticed Xiao Wu among the visitors and considered her arrival an opportunity to obtain another hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Ning Rongrong and the Shrek Seven Devils came to Ling Tian Sect to seek Han Yu and Gu Rong’s forgiveness, but both rejected them and drove them away.

• Tang San searched the place where Xiao Wu vanished and told the group that a hand had taken her through a spatial rift.

Tang San realized that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form and suspected Gu Rong had abducted her for her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. As Han Yu and Gu Rong planned to use Tang San to force Xiao Wu into a willing sacrifice, Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi the truth, leaving him shocked.

• Tang San concluded Gu Rong had captured Xiao Wu and stopped his friends from joining a reckless rescue, sending Ning Rongrong to ask Ning Fengzhi for help and planning to enlist his teacher and allies.

• Ning Rongrong rushed to Ning Fengzhi and told him Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, leaving him stunned.

After Gu Rong captured Xiao Wu, Ning Fengzhi refused to risk confronting the Ling Tian Sect, while Tang San prepared to seek help from Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong. Qian Renxue watched the conflict from the sidelines as Han Yu planned to force Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself for him.
