The killing sparked outrage across the official forum, while Songhai’s elders debated the team’s punishment and whether Demon Eye’s curse had changed Zhang Yuanqing’s temperament.

• Doctor Sun told Fu Qingyang that Zhang might be showing his real, obstinate personality after years of social adaptation, and suggested he could have a second personality.

Fu Qingyang learned that Yuanshi Tianzun’s drastic change in temperament might stem from dissociative identities, but concealed the diagnosis and helped the elders devise a plan to protect him. As Yuanshi awaited headquarters’ punishment, Fu Qingyang urged him to seek the Ghost Mirror and warned him against letting extremity become unavoidable.

• Doctor Sun told Fu Qingyang that Yuanshi Tianzun’s condition might be treated with a Voidwalker or an item, and Fu Qingyang decided to hide the diagnosis from Yuanshi and the other elders.

• After Fu Qingyang left, Zhang Yuanqing sent his consciousness into Blood Rose, who took the Cat King Speaker and little blue pills and left for the elevator.
• Blood Rose entered the elevator and froze when she saw grandmother and aunt inside.

Zhang Yuanqing dealt with his punishment, met Ling Jun’s cousin Miao Teng'er, and arranged for her to speak with Annie. The chapter ended with Miao Teng'er asking whether the Demon Lord had given Betty a map fragment, which caught Annie’s attention because she was searching for an important item for the Association President.

• Zhang Yuanqing arranged for Annie to meet Miao Teng'er, who asked whether the Demon Lord had left Betty a map fragment.

Annie confirmed that Betty possessed a map fragment tied to the Demon Lord’s treasure, while Miao Teng'er sought allies to gather the fragments. Zhang Yuanqing uncovered the past between Miao Teng'er and the Demon Lord through the Cat King Speaker’s recordings, learned the treasure held half of the Demon Lord’s opportunities, and asked for a hint about his next Spirit Realm instance dungeon.

• Miao Teng'er showed Annie a jade map fragment and explained that the Demon Lord had left fragments with cherished lovers to lead them to his hidden treasure.
• Annie confirmed Betty had an identical pendant, and she later told Zhang Yuanqing about her conversation with Miao Teng'er.
• Zhang Yuanqing reasoned that the Demon Lord had deliberately made the fragments difficult to assemble because the treasure contained something important, possibly another component of his damaged Role Card reward.
• Zhang Yuanqing used music to persuade the Cat King Speaker to play recordings of the Demon Lord and Miao Teng'er’s past, including their capture, separation, and reunion.
• The recordings revealed that the Demon Lord gave Miao Teng'er a jade pendant containing half of his opportunities before telling her not to seek him again.
• Zhang Yuanqing concluded that the Demon Lord’s women loved and hated him because he alternated between guilt and violence, then asked the Cat King Speaker for a hint about his next instance dungeon.

Zhang Yuanqing investigated three possible dungeons, prepared for his next trial, and learned that he would enter the deadly Sea of Yamen. Meanwhile, a possessing spirit took over Azure Fury and began hunting Spirit Realm Walkers.

• Zhang Yuanqing listened to Demon Lord’s recordings about three dungeons and identified the Feather Ascension Secret Realm and Sea of Yamen as possible matches.
• Zhang Yuanqing borrowed Little Tiger’s high-clearance account and learned that the Sea of Yamen was an S-rank dungeon where Shen Gongbao and six other Walkers had died.

• Zhang Yuanqing received a Spirit Realm notification that he would enter the Sea of Yamen, an S-rank multiplayer death dungeon, with a quest to survive for 36 hours.

Zhang Yuanqing entered the S-rank Sea of Yamen instance and found himself among a group that included Yin Ji, a powerful fellow Star Official. As the group compared their missions and discussed the instance’s dangers and lost items, Zhang Yuanqing claimed the items were still inside and had become part of the instance.

• Zhang Yuanqing learned he had entered Spirit Realm No. 012, Sea of Yamen, and sent Fu Qingyang a voice message before being transported into the instance.
• Fu Qingyang searched the official database and recognized the Sea of Yamen as an uncleared S-rank instance that had claimed six Saints.
• Zhang Yuanqing arrived on a dark shore with five companions, including Yin Ji, Love of Summer Trees, Xiahou Aotian, Wu Cloud Dream, and Free Eagle.
• The companions introduced themselves, and Xiahou Aotian challenged Zhang Yuanqing by boasting about his family and his own supposed protagonist status.
• Yin Ji said she and Xiahou Aotian had missions to deal with the revived monster, while the Level 4 Walkers had to survive for thirty-six hours.
• After Yin Ji described the dungeon’s history and the bounties for lost items, Zhang Yuanqing insisted those items remained in the instance and had become part of it.

The Saints analyzed the Sea of Yamen instance and boarded a ghostly warship bound for Yamen Island. After Xiahou Aotian sent a diving robot to investigate the Dragon Locking Array, something below the water frightened him.

• Zhang Yuanqing reasoned that the instance's increased difficulty was likely connected to the items left behind by the six dead Saints.
• Yin Ji led the group in discussing the Battle of Yamen, and Xiahou Aotian proposed crossing the sea to explore Yamen Island.
• Zhang Yuanqing raised questions about the enemy, the Dragon Locking Array, the differing quests, and the need for a ship.
