Zhong Shenxiu dismissed the threat of a united alliance against Doulong Technology, while Long Yeyue, Chen Xinjie, and Qiangu Dongfeng regrouped outside Eastsea City to discuss joining forces. The three faction leaders faced an awkward but urgent decision as Doulong Technology threatened them all.

• The three agreed to contact the Tang Sect and consolidate established factions against Doulong Technology, while Chen Xinjie planned to report Zhong Shenxiu and the Twelve Star Dragons to the Sun-Moon Federation.
