• Xiao Yin used his left-arm Spirit Bone skill to purify Hu Liena, who agreed to trust him and introduce him to her teacher after they escaped, provided he did not endanger her teacher.
• Xiao Yin told Hu Liena he needed to enter Hell Road within one month and proposed a special plan when she explained that conventional arena matches would take too long.

• Hu Liena asked Xiao Yin why attackers kept coming after them, revealing that she had also survived several sieges.

• Ying Yue killed the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, absorbed its thirty-thousand-year Soul Ring, and advanced to level sixty-one.
• A dark gold Head Spirit Bone emerged from the Bat King’s corpse, and Xiao Yin gave it to Ying Yue because it suited her Martial Soul.
• After Ying Yue absorbed the Spirit Bone, Xiao Yin, Hu Liena, and Ying Yue continued deeper into Hell Road and entered a cavern guarded by the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
• Xiao Yin released his Taotie bloodline aura, and the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent lowered its head and approached him in submission.
