Fang Yang’s rumored entry into the Eight Prohibitions Domain drew disbelief from Ji Haoyue and the Golden-Winged Little Peng King. After Wang Zheng killed Sun Tianyun and his descendants, Fang Yang asked to accompany him to Li City to pursue the Nine Secrets.

• Ji Haoyue heard the rumor about Fang Yang but kept silent about their earlier fight on his family’s orders.

Fang Yang defeated Golden-Winged Little Peng King and took the Great Wilderness Halberd while Duan De searched for the Nine Secrets. As the two reached a promising graveyard, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land arrived, raising the prospect of more challengers.

• Golden-Winged Little Peng King unleashed his Life-Killing Great Art and Heavenly Peng Fighting Dragon Diagram, but Fang Yang shattered both attacks, sealed his secret realms, and knocked him unconscious.
