The Seven Killers grew desperate after Xia Ping spent more than a month cultivating inside Huaining City's Soul Hall, so Kong Nuo devised a plan to force him out by reporting him to Chang Chi. Meanwhile, Xia Ping reached the peak of the mid-stage As-You-Will Realm, leaving him one step from the late stage.
