Recaps

Lu Ye helped Pang Huanyin register with the Bing Province Guard and showed her around Vast Sky City while the Sect Master arranged their stay. The Sect Master later reassured Lu Ye about his plans to join the Law Enforcement Division and gave him the partially repaired Artificer Armor Dragon Seat from his Master.

• The Sect Master arrived in Vast Sky City and asked Lu Ye to take Pang Huanyin to the Recruitment Division to join the Bing Province Guard.
• Pang Huanyin registered with the Recruitment Division, where Leshan tested her Battle Merit and found that she had none.
• Lu Ye showed Pang Huanyin around Vast Sky City until the Sect Master summoned them to his courtyard and offered them a place to stay.
• Yiyi and Lu Ye noticed the Sect Master's bruised eye, and he claimed he had gotten carried away talking with old friends.
• The Sect Master told Lu Ye that he would support him and cautioned him about the Law Enforcement Division's dangerous work.
• The Sect Master gave Lu Ye the basic-repaired Artificer Armor Dragon Seat from his Master and relayed her warning not to rely too heavily on external power.

Lu Ye tested the repaired Dragon Seat and learned that it greatly enhanced his combat power while draining his strength at a manageable rate. After recovering, he met with Qian Wudang, who explained that the Law Enforcement Division’s squads had no room for him and began to reveal a change in plans.

• Lu Ye traveled outside Vast Sky City and activated the Dragon Seat, which wrapped him in crimson armor and painfully drained his Spiritual Power, physical strength, and Divine Soul Power.
• Lu Ye wielded the Dragon Spine Blade while wearing the Dragon Seat, devastating the surrounding area before removing the armor and concluding that it could serve as a powerful last-resort weapon.
• Lu Ye returned to the Sect Master's courtyard with Yiyi and Amber and spent the night recovering.
• Qian Wudang summoned Lu Ye to the Law Enforcement Division and told him Squad A3 was full and the other squads also had no need for additional manpower.
• Lu Ye asked Qian Wudang to explain plainly what he meant, suspecting that the plan to take him into the division might have changed.

Qian Wudang offered Lu Ye the captaincy of a newly formed Law Enforcement Hall squad, and Lu Ye accepted after securing the right to choose and requisition its members. Lu Ye claimed a residence in Vast Sky City and began considering whom to recruit first.

• Qian Wudang praised Lu Ye’s mission record, strength, and military rank as reasons he should lead a new Law Enforcement Hall squad.
• Qian Wudang listed the captain’s stipends, mission rewards, and other benefits, but Lu Ye declined when he learned the appointment was not an order.
• Lu Ye reconsidered after Qian Wudang confirmed he could choose his squad members and request transfers from frontline passes.
• Lu Ye agreed to lead the squad in exchange for authority to requisition personnel, while Qian Wudang said he would reveal his own request the next day.
• Lu Ye found an unoccupied courtyard in Vast Sky City, reported it to Qian Wudang for registration, and began planning whom to recruit.

Lu Ye tried to recruit Pang Huanyin into the Law Enforcement Division, but she declined so she could look after future Purple Star Dao Palace disciples. Lin Yinxiu joined Lu Ye’s squad instead, and Qian Wudang explained that she had chosen the team because she wanted to witness Lu Yiye’s rise, seeing him as a second Feng Wujiang.

• Lu Ye asked Pang Huanyin to join the Law Enforcement Division, but she refused so she could support the Purple Star Dao Palace disciples who would arrive later.
• Lin Yinxiu reported to Lu Ye under orders from Qian Wudang and joined his squad, presenting him with a token that allowed him to mobilize Province Guard personnel.
• After learning Lin Yinxiu had True Lake Tier Seven cultivation, Lu Ye accepted her and exchanged Battlefield Mark imprints with her.
• Lu Ye went to find Qian Wudang, then contacted him when he was absent from the Law Enforcement Division’s main hall.
• Qian Wudang told Fan Xiangyi that Lin Yinxiu had insisted on joining Lu Ye because she regarded him as a second Feng Wujiang and wanted to witness his growth.

Lu Ye brought Lin Yinxiu to Startled Waves Lake Pass under Qian Wudang’s warrant to transfer his Third Senior Brother, Xiao Xinghe, away from the dangerous post. After Che Zixiong verified the warrant, Lu Ye prepared to name the person he wanted to requisition.

• Qian Wudang warned Lu Ye not to harbor improper thoughts about Lin Yinxiu, and Lu Ye summoned her for a mission.
• Lu Ye and Lin Yinxiu traveled from Vast Sky City to Startled Waves Lake Pass, where fighting with Dark Moon Forest Pass had caused casualties.
• Lu Ye told the sentries he was acting on official business and requested an audience with the Pass Master.
• Che Zixiong received Lu Ye and Lin Yinxiu, verified Qian Wudang’s warrant, and asked whom the Law Enforcement Division wanted to transfer.

Lu Ye reached Startled Waves Lake Pass to recruit his Third Senior Brother, Xiao Xinghe, into the Law Enforcement Division, but found Xiao injured and caught in a dispute with the pass’s leadership. After learning of the offer, Xiao thanked Lu Ye but refused to join.

• Che Zixiong recognized Lu Ye and stalled over releasing Xiao Xinghe, then claimed a Divine Sea Realm cultivator from Dark Moon Forest Pass had mobilized and left the hall.
• Lu Ye and Lin Yinxiu went to Xiao Xinghe’s residence with help from a cultivator surnamed Wang, who warned that Xiao might soon be ordered back into battle.
• Xiao recognized Lu Ye as his junior brother, welcomed him inside, and caught up on news of Azure Emperor City and their fellow disciples.
• Lu Ye explained that he had joined the Law Enforcement Division and had come under Qian Wudang’s orders to recruit Xiao.
• Xiao Xinghe praised the opportunity but told Lu Ye that he would not join the Law Enforcement Division.

Lu Ye tried to requisition Xiao Xinghe from Startled Waves Lake Pass, but Liu Yuemei refused and instead attempted to requisition Lu Ye himself. Her unexpected counteroffer gave Lu Ye a sliver of hope that his plan was working.

• Lu Ye reassured Xiao Xinghe that he would not force his transfer if Liu Yuemei refused to release him.
• Chen Ke brought Lu Ye, Lin Yinxiu, and Xiao Xinghe to meet Liu Yuemei, who used her Divine Sea pressure to force Lu Ye toward kneeling.
• Lu Ye endured the pressure, presented Qian Wudang’s written order, and requested Xiao Xinghe’s transfer to the Law Enforcement Division.
• Liu Yuemei refused the requisition, but Lu Ye turned to leave, prompting her to call him back.
• Liu Yuemei offered to requisition Lu Ye to serve at her pass, and Lu Ye realized she had taken the bait.

Lu Ye used Liu Yuemei’s desire to kill him to secure a chance to take Xiao Xinghe away, but Liu Yuemei switched the chosen opponent at the last moment. Lu Ye and Chen Ke entered the Combat Platform, leaving the outcome unresolved.

• Liu Yuemei offered to let Lu Ye take Xiao Xinghe if he won a fight, but required him to remain under her command if he lost.
• Liu Yuemei summoned Qi Wu, and Lu Ye proposed using the Combat Platform for their fight to the death.
• Lu Ye demanded a Heaven's Mystery Contract guaranteeing he could take Xiao Xinghe away if he survived, and Liu Yuemei agreed.
• Lu Ye launched the Combat Platform toward Qi Wu, but Liu Yuemei pulled Qi Wu aside and sent Chen Ke into the fight instead.
• Liu Yuemei laughed and explained that she had arranged the contract so she could change Lu Ye's opponent.

Lu Ye fought Chen Ke inside the Combat Platform, hiding his advantage until he killed him with one slash. He returned to the main hall alive, shocking Liu Yuemei and reassuring Xiao Xinghe.

• Xiao Xinghe realized Liu Yuemei had tampered with the Heaven's Mystery Contract, but Lin Yinxiu stopped him from attacking her.
• Lu Ye and Chen Ke appeared in the Combat Platform, where Lu Ye deliberately kept the fight brutal to conceal his true strength.
• Chen Ke took a Spiritual Pill and launched his strongest attack, but Lu Ye used Divine Sense and a single saber slash to kill him.
• Lu Ye returned to the main hall and told Xiao Xinghe, "I won," while Liu Yuemei's table shattered.

Lu Ye defeated Chen Ke and took Xiao Xinghe from Startled Waves Lake Pass, but Liu Yuemei’s killing intent forced the group to flee. After Lin Yinxiu sent Qian Wudang a cryptic message, he realized they were in danger and hurried to respond.

• Lu Ye returned from the Combat Platform alive, revealing that he had killed Chen Ke and leaving Qi Wu shaken.
• Liu Yuemei developed killing intent toward Lu Ye, but he invoked the Heaven's Mystery Contract and his Law Enforcement Division membership to claim Xiao Xinghe and leave.
• Lu Ye, Xiao Xinghe, and Lin Yinxiu left Startled Waves Lake Pass, and Lu Ye had Lin Yinxiu send Qian Wudang a message through her Battlefield Mark.
• Lu Ye slowed their flight, suspecting Liu Yuemei might pursue them, while Xiao Xinghe warned that she could attack once they were outside the pass.
• Qian Wudang received Lin Yinxiu's message, recognized the danger, and rushed to respond while angrily blaming Lu Ye for taking her to Startled Waves Lake Pass.

Qian Wudang warned Tang Yifeng that Lu Ye was returning from Startled Waves Lake Pass, prompting both men to rush to his aid. Liu Yuemei attacked Lu Ye openly on the way, and the chapter ended with her confronting two seemingly identical Lu Ye figures after he used Shadow Clone.

• Qian Wudang told Tang Yifeng that Lu Ye had requisitioned Xiao Xinghe and was returning from Startled Waves Lake Pass, and Tang Yifeng immediately flew to intercept them.
• Lu Ye stopped near the edge of the pass’s territory, but Liu Yuemei appeared behind the group and pursued him while Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu split off to safety.
• Liu Yuemei’s divine-sense attacks failed to stop Lu Ye, so she closed the distance and struck him with a giant palm of Spiritual Power.
• Lu Ye countered with Arc Moon and Moon Return, then used Shadow Clone to create a duplicate that left Liu Yuemei unable to tell which figure was real.

Lu Ye used the Golden Body Token to survive Liu Yuemei’s deadly attack and held her attention until Tang Yifeng and Qian Wudang arrived. Liu Yuemei fled, while Tang Yifeng pursued her and Qian Wudang went to search for Lin Yinxiu.

• Lu Ye evaded Liu Yuemei’s attacks with his Shadow Clone Spiritual Pattern until her wood-element spell overwhelmed him.
• Lu Ye activated the Golden Body Token, surviving Liu Yuemei’s emerald torrent and her furious attempts to strike him.
• Lu Ye provoked Liu Yuemei by insulting her and mentioning Tan Shu, but she restrained him and tried to wait out the token’s protection.
• Tang Yifeng and Qian Wudang arrived, forcing Liu Yuemei to release Lu Ye and flee.
• Qian Wudang went to find Lin Yinxiu, while Tang Yifeng pursued Liu Yuemei.

Tang Yifeng pursued Liu Yuemei after she attacked Lu Ye and nearly killed her, but she escaped with the World-Shattering Thunder Spear. Qian Wudang returned to Lu Ye and the others, relieved that Liu Yuemei was alive, while Lin Yinxiu kept poking the Golden Body Token’s costly protective light.

• Tang Yifeng chased Liu Yuemei, restrained her with Spiritual Power, and struck her down while she wore a cracked Face Mask.
• As Tang Yifeng prepared to kill Liu Yuemei, the World-Shattering Thunder Spear arrived and carried her out of his reach.
• Qian Wudang returned with Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu, and Lu Ye told him that Tang Yifeng had pursued a Myriad Demon Ridge bandit.
• Qian Wudang met Tang Yifeng, learned that Liu Yuemei had escaped, and returned with him to Lu Ye and the others.
• Lin Yinxiu poked the golden protective light around Lu Ye, which represented two hundred thousand Battle Merit.

After returning from Startled Waves Lake Pass, Lu Ye was reprimanded by Qian Wudang and exchanged for another Golden Body Token before joining Squad A3 for a gathering. He learned that Geng Wuwang’s squad still had an opening and revealed that he had advanced to Tier Three of the True Lake Realm; the gathering continued when the Landlady arrived.

• The Sect Master welcomed Xiao Xinghe back, while Qian Wudang led Lu Ye and the others to Vast Sky City.
• Qian Wudang angrily scolded Lu Ye for taking Lin Yinxiu to Startled Waves Lake Pass, then asked whether he planned to recruit anyone else.
• Lu Ye exchanged battle merit for another Golden Body Token, then accepted Geng Wuwang’s invitation to meet Squad A3 at Hundred Fragrances Building.
• Xiao Ruyun invited Lu Ye to join Squad A3, but Geng Wuwang revealed that Lu Ye was already captain of a new squad and that Squad A3 still had a vacant position.
• Lu Ye told Squad A3 that he had advanced to Tier Three of the True Lake Realm, and the group toasted his promotion, cultivation progress, and their completed mission.
• The Landlady of Hundred Fragrances Building arrived, and Squad A3 greeted her as their sister-in-law.

Lu Ye used Golden Spirit Signs to rise from True Lake Tier Three to Tier Five, then emerged from seclusion and introduced Yiyi to his squadmates. He learned from Xiao Xinghe why Azure Emperor City had been unable to protect him from Liu Yuemei, while the division’s lack of missions remained unexplained.

• Shen Manzi visited Geng Wuwang and shared wine with him, Lu Ye, and the others.
• Lu Ye consumed his Golden Spirit Signs over twenty days and advanced from True Lake Tier Three to True Lake Tier Five.
• Lu Ye emerged from seclusion, introduced Yiyi to Lin Yinxiu, and brought her to meet Xiao Xinghe.
• Yiyi and Lin Yinxiu began building snowmen together while Lu Ye spoke with Xiao Xinghe.
• Xiao Xinghe explained that Azure Emperor City could not override a pass lord’s authority and that Liu Yuemei had escaped the Sect Master using the World-Shattering Thunder Spear.

Lu Ye learned how the Law Enforcement Division assigned missions and accepted a simple target apprehension mission after discovering that Qian Wudang had restricted his choices. He left to contact the local Nightingale for intelligence and begin the work.

• Lu Ye gave Xiao Xinghe the Overlord Saber Technique inheritance bead, and Xiao Xinghe agreed to borrow it.
• Lu Ye joined Yiyi and Lin Yinxiu in a snowball fight before completing a handover of Explosive Fire Spirit Stones with Cheng Xiu.
• Lu Ye asked Qian Wudang for a mission and learned that missions were handled at the nearby Hunting Pavilion.
• The Hunting Pavilion's fat old man revealed that Qian Wudang had limited Lu Ye to a few simple missions to help his squad gain experience.
• Lu Ye accepted a mission and learned that he should contact the local Nightingale for assistance.

Lu Ye led his squad on its first Law Enforcement Hall mission: finding a fugitive in Gualiang Mountain. After a local Nightingale could only point them to the target’s last known location and their search failed, Lu Ye brought out a Tracking Compass to locate him.

• Lu Ye gathered Yiyi, Lin Yinxiu, and Xiao Xinghe, explained their mission, and flew with them to Gualiang Mountain.
• Lu Ye contacted a nearby Nightingale through his Guard Token, and she led the squad to the place where she had last seen the fugitive ten days earlier.
• Lu Ye, Xiao Xinghe, and Lin Yinxiu searched separately but found no trace of the target by nightfall.
• Lu Ye took out a Tracking Compass, deciding its cost was worth saving time on the search.

Lu Ye’s team captured Chu Yue and returned him to Vast Sky City, completing a Law Enforcement Hall mission in under five days. Lu Ye arranged for future mission rewards to go entirely to his teammates, then prepared for another assignment as Lin Yinxiu eagerly awaited their next mission.

• Lu Ye used the Tracking Compass to find Chu Yue’s underground hideout and had Xiao Xinghe, Lin Yinxiu, and Yiyi cover its exits.
• Yiyi flushed Chu Yue out, and Lin Yinxiu trapped him in a net while Lu Ye subdued him.
• Lu Ye’s team returned Chu Yue to Vast Sky City and delivered him to the Penal Prison.
• Lu Ye completed the mission at the Hunting Pavilion, selected another assignment, and asked Qian Wudang to give all future mission Battle Merit to his teammates.
• Qian Wudang agreed to petition the Heavenly Mechanism, and Lu Ye bought a Spirit Boat and another Tracking Compass.
• Lin Yinxiu celebrated receiving nearly thirty thousand Battle Merit, while Lu Ye confirmed the rewards had been distributed between her and Xiao Xinghe.

Lu Ye completed another seemingly impossible Hunting Pavilion task in only a few days, prompting Qian Wudang and the plump old man to question whether his repeated success came from more than luck. Lu Ye set out to hunt more targets, while the two elders suspected he possessed Heaven's Mystery's Favor.

• Lu Ye told Lin Yinxiu to rest before the squad departed the next day, then privately warned Xiao Xinghe about her sensitive identity.
• Qian Wudang discussed Lu Ye's latest task with the plump old man and hoped the long search would discourage Lin Yinxiu from staying with Lu Ye.
• Four days later, Qian Wudang learned that Lu Ye had completed the task and delivered the target to the Penal Prison.
• Lu Ye asked the plump old man to accept multiple tasks at once, then learned he could memorize targets and capture them before completing the paperwork.
• Lu Ye claimed he had used a Tracking Compass, but the plump old man dismissed the explanation; Qian Wudang later wondered whether it might be true.
• After watching Lu Ye's squad depart on another task, Qian Wudang and the plump old man considered that his extraordinary luck might be Heaven's Mystery's Favor.

Lu Ye tracked the last mission target, Zhou Wang, to Ding Tian City and suspected the local Nightingale of concealing his whereabouts. After Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe entered the city, a powerful elder from the Zhou Family intercepted them, confirming their suspicions that the family had learned of their arrival.

• Lu Ye used six Tracking Compasses to help his squad capture five mission targets, leaving only Zhou Wang to find.
• The squad approached Ding Tian City, where Lu Ye recognized Zhou Wang as a member of a powerful Tier Three cultivation family and suspected the mission would be difficult.
• Lu Ye questioned the local Nightingale, then ordered Lin Yinxiu to watch him and kill anyone who made an unusual move while Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe went into the city.
• Lin Yinxiu warned the Nightingale to report himself to Vast Sky City, believing he had concealed Zhou Wang's whereabouts.
• Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe followed the Tracking Compass into Ding Tian City, where a True Lake Tier Eight elder from the Zhou Family blocked their path.

Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe confronted the Zhou Family after its elder tried to bribe them into abandoning their investigation of Zhou Wang. When Zhou Ze blocked their path to the family’s forbidden grounds, Lu Ye forced his way forward, and the Zhou cultivators surrounded the pair.

• Zhou Ze invited Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe to the Zhou Family manor and offered them lavish gifts to serve the family.
• Lu Ye recognized the gifts as an attempt to bribe an enforcement squad and ordered Xiao Xinghe to confiscate them as evidence.
• Lu Ye revealed his Guard Token and announced that they were carrying out official duties, then used the Tracking Compass to identify Zhou Wang’s hiding place.
• Zhou Ze refused to let the pair enter the forbidden grounds and demanded proof that Zhou Wang was there.
• Lu Ye struck down a True Lake Realm Tier Seven cultivator who attacked him, then pushed forward with Xiao Xinghe as Zhou Ze ordered the family to surround them.

Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe forced their way into the Zhou Family Manor to arrest Zhou Wang, and Lu Ye captured him after breaking through the family’s blockade. They left the manor with Zhou Wang and met up with Lin Yinxiu, while the Zhou Family agreed to send a Medical Cultivator to treat him.

• Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe fought through the Zhou Family cultivators who tried to keep them from taking Zhou Wang.
• Lu Ye spotted Zhou Wang fleeing the courtyard, unleashed Arc Moon, and broke through the encirclement with his Fire Phoenix technique.
• Lu Ye captured Zhou Wang, badly burning him, while a hidden Divine Sea Realm cultivator held back from intervening.
• Zhou Ze claimed Lu Ye had taken the wrong man, but Lu Ye said the Law Enforcement Division would identify him through interrogation.
• Lu Ye threatened to kill Zhou Wang if the Zhou Family continued obstructing them, then agreed to wait west of the city for a Medical Cultivator.
• Lin Yinxiu joined Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe as they left the manor, and Lu Ye told her the fight was over.

Lu Ye completed the Zhou Family assignment and learned that Zhou Ding Tian had recognized him as Lu Yiye. He returned to the Crimson Blood Sect with Xiao Xinghe, reunited him with Shui Yuan, and then received Yiyi’s message that someone had appeared at Green Bamboo Peak.

• Lu Ye accepted Zhou Ze’s apology and agreed not to report the Zhou Family’s gifts, then ordered Nightingale to go to Vast Sky City and face punishment.
• Zhou Ding Tian told Zhou Ze that he had recognized Lu Ye by the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts and warned that Tang Yifeng would have intervened if the Zhou Family had harmed him.
• Lu Ye let Xiao Xinghe keep the Storage Bags from Zhou Ze, and the Spirit Boat carried them to Upholding Justice Peak in Ao Mountain.
• Shui Yuan warmly greeted Xiao Xinghe, then grabbed his ear for disappearing for years while Lu Ye slipped away to visit his master.
• Lu Ye met his master’s Clone, Xiao Die, and learned that his master was in seclusion after gaining insights while repairing the Dragon Seat.
• Yiyi messaged Lu Ye that someone seemed to be at Green Bamboo Peak, prompting him to hurry over.

Lu Ye returned to the Crimson Blood Sect, discovered Nian Yuexian had taken over his Bamboo Lodge to cultivate, and replenished his Merit by selling supplies. After departing with Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu, he reported completing six Hunting Pavilion tasks in half a month, surprising Qian Wudang and the fat old man.

• Lu Ye found Nian Yuexian cultivating in his Bamboo Lodge and left after learning she had Shui Yuan's permission.
• Lu Ye collected supplies from the sect treasury and sold them to Heaven's Mystery Vault, raising his Merit to nearly a million.
• Lu Ye, Xiao Xinghe, Shui Yuan, and Lin Yinxiu shared a meal before Lu Ye and Xiao Xinghe departed the next morning.
• Qian Wudang complained to the fat old man that Lin Yinxiu rarely answered his messages, then assumed Lu Ye had not completed another task.
• Lu Ye arrived at the Hunting Pavilion to turn in a task and revealed that he had also captured the targets from five other tasks.
• Qian Wudang and the fat old man confirmed the six tasks were completed in half a month and were stunned by Lu Ye's pace.

Lu Ye returned to Vast Sky City after completing a string of missions, and Qian Wudang and the former Division Master suspected that he could refine Tracking Compasses. He joined Squad A3 for drinks at Hundred Fragrances Building, where a disturbance in the neighboring courtyard drew Geng Wuwang and Xiao Ruyun’s attention.

• Lu Ye declined further missions because he had too little Battle Merit for another Tracking Compass and wanted time to rest.
• Qian Wudang learned from Lin Yinxiu that Lu Ye had borrowed Tracking Compasses, and the former Division Master suggested Feng Wujiang’s refining method might explain Lu Ye’s supply.
• Lu Ye received an invitation from Geng Wuwang and brought Xiao Xinghe, Lin Yinxiu, and Amber to Hundred Fragrances Building.
• Lu Ye introduced Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu to Squad A3, and Lin Yinxiu and Mu Zheng soon began talking together.
• A man in the neighboring courtyard shouted at someone named Boss Shen for refusing to drink, then threatened to use force, prompting Xiao Ruyun and Geng Wuwang to react.
