• Another month passed, and Xiao Ze’s jade slip was crushed while Yun Yun was threatened by a man and a woman demanding the former sect master’s battle-qi inheritance.

Yun Yun faced Hua Jin and Demonic Flower Evil Lord, who tried to force her to surrender the former sect leader’s Dou Qi and challenged her together.
