Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian held back while fighting the Black Emperor Sect’s Great Elder, as Su Yun assessed the battle between Hai Bodong’s allies and Mo Tianxing.

Su Yun named the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Cai Lin after she absorbed Medusa’s memories, then began binding her body and soul to him with the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame. Cai Lin agreed to become his pet forever, but the process left her in pain.
