• The Left Vanguard General tried to frighten the Yunluo Sacred Son into rejecting him as a guard, then recognized Lu Ye and questioned whether Tian Hong had mistaken his assignment.

Lu Ye and Abuluo exchanged information about the strange trial and decided to help protect the Zhongyou Realm, but Tian Hong stopped them from heading to the battlefield. Back at Star-Plucking Tower, Lu Ye studied ways to kill Heavenly God Disciples and asked Abuluo to capture some for him to investigate.

• Lu Ye and Abuluo compared what they knew about the trial and concluded their task was to assist the cultivators and protect the Zhongyou Realm.

Lu Ye continued treating the wounded and studying captured Heavenly God Disciples, but his growing reputation brought a Sunlight-level attacker to Benevolence Source Valley. Tian Hong intervened before Lu Ye could use his Red Talisman, while A Qiduo was left gravely injured and Lu Ye sought Sun Nianyue’s help.
