Lin Chen took the Space Ancestral Symbol from Zhou Tong and assured Ying Xuanzi that Zhou Tong would recover and return to the Dao Sect. Tian Yuanzi and the other Yuan Sect leaders sacrificed their own disciples to awaken the Demonic Remains beneath the Yuan Sect, and Lin Chen prepared to kill them while the others held the remains back.
