After Lu Ye killed Hu Xue, Yuan Du tried to suppress him, but Nine Radiance intervened and confronted Yuan Du. Mu Qing heard the witnesses confirm Lu Ye’s account and warned him to keep future conflicts farther from Myriad Phenomena Island.

After Three Realms Island crushed Purple Jade, Lu Ye had Ma Shangsi’s fleet stop outside Giant Blade Island, where Zhao Yunqi paid a huge tribute to avert trouble over his earlier insult. Lu Ye accepted the apology and turned his attention to the Spirit Jade Vein discovered on Purple Jade.

• Three Realms Island’s fleet left Purple Jade carrying captured warships and stopped outside Giant Blade Island on Lu Ye’s orders.
• Zhao Yunqi recalled mocking Three Realms Island at Purple Jade’s banquet and ordered Giant Blade Island to surrender supplies rather than risk a fight.
• Zhao Yunqi presented Ma Shangsi with a large tribute, and Ma relayed Lu Ye’s warning that Giant Blade Island must not provoke Three Realms Island again.
• The fleet departed after Zhao Yunqi promised there would be no repeat, while he regretted the costly tribute and planned to request more supplies from his home star system.
• Lu Ye explained that he had no intention of destroying Giant Blade Island, then went with Feng Wujiang to inspect the entrance to Purple Jade’s Spirit Jade Vein.

• Lu Ye met Nine Radiance, who agreed that killing Hu Xue had been justified after hearing how Hu Xue had tried to frame him.
• Nine Radiance warned that a Sunlight cultivator from the Purple Jade Demon Star would likely come to negotiate, and Aunt Yue assured Lu Ye that the visitor would have to follow the Myriad Phenomena Sea’s rules.

Two months into his own cultivation, Lu Ye received a visit from Black Cloud, a Demon Venerable from Purple Jade whom he recognized from the Cycle Tree in the Primordial Realm.

• Luan Xiao'e told Lu Ye that she and Yan Miao would enter seclusion, and that Yuxi and Cheng Xin would replace them as Three Realms Island's stationed Moonlight Realm cultivators.

• Lu Ye met Black Cloud and recognized him as the Demon Venerable he had seen at the Cycle Tree in the Primordial Realm.

Lu Ye negotiated with Black Cloud over Purple Jade Island’s return, demanding compensation and Lionheart’s life. Black Cloud accepted the first condition but resisted the second, and the meeting ended with tensions rising as Lu Ye challenged him to act.

• Black Cloud questioned Lu Ye about his past battle against the Blood Race and how Purple Jade Island’s Protective Grand Array had failed.
• Lu Ye told Black Cloud that Three Realms Island would reclaim Purple Jade only under two conditions, beginning with ten billion Lingyu in compensation.

Months later, Lionheart was being escorted away from the Myriad Phenomena Sea when he realized the Star Boat had strayed from its route and began to suspect Black Cloud’s plan.

• Lu Ye argued that Purple Jade should exchange one hundred billion Spirit Jade and Lionheart’s life for the return of Purple Jade Island, and Black Cloud exchanged Sound Talisman imprints with him before leaving.

• Yuan Cheng steered the Star Boat into a remote region where space was unstable, and Lionheart noticed that they were far from the route home.
• Lionheart recalled Black Cloud’s instructions and gradually realized what was happening.

• Yuan Du learned that Lu Ye had killed Lionheart with one slash, and Black Cloud said Lionheart had been freed before setting out to reclaim Purple Jade Island.
