Lu Yu returned to Dugu Yan after more than a year away, learned about her group’s training in Death Valley, and revealed that a God Trial had brought him to the brink of becoming a Soul Saint. As he discussed Spirit Hall’s plans, he grew concerned that Dugu Bo’s unexplained absence might interfere with Qian Renxue’s move against Xue Ye.

• Dugu Bo warned Xue Beng not to provoke him again and left, while the injured Xue Beng vowed to claim the throne so even a Title Douluo would not look down on him.
