Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi battled a giant Filth Clan cultivator while Lu Ye’s Treasure Blood Clones destroyed a Filth Tower and Jade Conch’s cultivators defeated the other invaders. The giant was bleeding heavily when more Filth Clan reinforcements approached the Insect Path, but Jade Conch’s forces and Lu Ye’s clones converged to meet them.

• Jade Conch’s Moon Jade Realm cultivators finished eradicating the Filth Clan’s survivors, and Lu Ye burned the filth from their bodies.

After Three Realms Island’s cultivators survived coordinated ambushes, Lu Ye joined the island’s leaders to discuss who had targeted them.

• Lu Ye returned with Ma Shangsi and He Baichuan, disrupting the enemies’ ambush of Tang Jun and forcing their other attackers to withdraw from fighting Luan Xiao'e and He Baichuan.

While they waited for Tang Jun and Cheng Xin, He Baichuan spotted one of the Moon Jade Realm cultivators who had ambushed Luan Xiao'e and Tang Jun, giving Lu Ye a chance to investigate the enemy faction.

• Lu Ye tried to register He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi as replacements, but the clerk refused because the cultivators being replaced were absent.
• Lu Ye sent for Tang Jun and Cheng Xin, then waited with He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi at a nearby tea house.
• He Baichuan recognized one of the cultivators who had intercepted Luan Xiao'e and him, and saw that the man had entered the registration hall with another Moon Jade Realm cultivator.
• Lu Ye realized the pair were likely filling the vacancy left by the Moon Jade Realm cultivator he had killed and ordered Ma Shangsi to follow them and identify their Spirit Island.
• Ma Shangsi tracked the two cultivators as they left Myriad Phenomena Island, while Lu Ye and He Baichuan followed his messages.
