Lin Yaoyang and the Ice Empress watched Xiao Lie defeat Xue Kui and reclaim control of Luo'an Province, then asked him to publicize the Sun Temple’s fight against the Holy Spirit Cult.

At the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, Zhongli Wu vowed to destroy the Sun Temple eventually and ordered the elders to gather intelligence and prepare another operation.

• Lin Yaoyang and Ye Guyi decided to clear the remaining Evil Soul Master leads together, and their forces eliminated the last strongholds across Douling before returning to Spirit City.

At the Sun Temple, Lin Yaoyang proposed a network of temples and Red Sun Army squads across the Dou Ling Empire, leaving Ye Guyi struck by its resemblance to the old Spirit Hall.

• Nangong Wan and the elders urged Zhongli Wu to decide whether the cult should recall its hidden assets from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.
• An elder argued that all assets should remain hidden, while Myriad Soul Douluo warned that the Sun Temple could eventually hunt them down across the empires.
