As the group settled in, Senior Brother Xie and Yu Tang knelt before him and asked him to teach them how to grow strong enough to challenge the top geniuses.

• The Shadow Moon Demon Rat appeared again and drew Li Shi’s forces away, so Sikong Jing’s group abandoned their chance to attack and departed.

• Zhan You realized Sikong Jing had become far stronger and charged at a Spirit Race prodigy to prove his worth.
• Sikong Jing gained the upper hand against Ying Shan, while Su Yuexi told the others to stay hidden and prepare for more Spirit Race arrivals.
• Ying Shan fled after Sikong Jing wounded her and threatened his little sister, but Sikong Jing’s Nine Heavens Sword Extinction Sword struck her down.
• Sikong Jing preserved Ying Shan’s life and demanded that she tell him about his sister.
• Ying Shan revealed that the Spirit Parrot Lineage’s leader was nearby, so Sikong Jing threatened to torture her spirit shadow if she did not explain further.

Sikong Jing learned that Ying Shan planned to use him to force Sikong Ling to lose, then killed her and set out to lure away Ying Bailiu, the strongest approaching Spirit Parrot genius. As the remaining five attacked Zhan You and the others, Su Yuexi and Xie Men led the counterattack.

• Yu Tang’s team surrounded and fought the three Spirit Race geniuses, impressing Zhan You and his subordinates with their Extreme Prison Sword.

• Sikong Jing transformed into his Sixfold Demonic Form, revealing a humanoid ferocious beast as he faced Ying Bailiu.

• Sikong Jing pretended he might be from the Azure Rhinoceros Demon Race after Ying Bailiu suspected he belonged to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

• Zhe Ying contacted Ying Bailiu and revealed that eight life lamps had gone out, prompting Ying Bailiu to accuse Sikong Jing of having helpers.
• Sikong Jing realized there was no time to delay and prepared to kill Ying Bailiu.

Sikong Jing transformed into a Blood Devour Magic Beast to defeat Ying Bailiu before he could reveal their location to Zhe Ying. He killed Ying Bailiu in human form and erased the demonic traces from the corpse, but the Spirit Race had already heard Ying Bailiu mention the Ten Thousand Demon Hall and magic beasts.

• Sikong Jing unleashed a demonic claw that overwhelmed Ying Bailiu and forced him to use his Spirit Parrot Shield.
• Ying Bailiu told Zhe Ying that the Ten Thousand Demon Hall and a magic beast were involved before Sikong Jing severed his hand and destroyed the communication stone.
• Sikong Jing realized the Spirit Race might suspect an infiltration and switched back to human form so Ying Bailiu's death would appear to be caused by a human cultivator.
• Sikong Jing killed Ying Bailiu with the Nine Heavens Sword Dao, then erased all demonic traces from his corpse.

After learning that Ying Bailiu and his eight subordinates had been killed, Zhe Ying suspected a demonized half-human from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall was responsible and went north with Ou Tu to investigate. Que Yi revealed that Zhe Ying had a new plan involving the abyss and the captured Green Rhino Clan humans.

• Sikong Jing carried Ying Bailiu's corpse toward the sea cliffs so it would be easier to find.
• Zhe Ying told the gathered Spirit Race geniuses that Ying Bailiu and his eight subordinates had died, and that Ying Bailiu had blamed the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
• Zhe Ying reasoned that Ying Bailiu's killer might be a demonized half-human with beast blood, like the Green Rhino Clan people he had imprisoned.
• Zhe Ying ordered Que Yi to stay with the gathered geniuses, then took Ou Tu north to search for Ying Bailiu's corpse and summoned northern exiles to hunt for the killer.
• Que Yi told the Spirit Race geniuses that Zhe Ying had a new abyss plan.

The Spirit Race planned to use the imprisoned Green Rhino humans to explore the abyss and draw out the missing Shadow Moon Demon Rat, with Su Yuexian singled out as their strongest test subject. Meanwhile, Su Yuexi’s group killed the Spirit Race geniuses left behind, but she refused to send help to Sikong Jing as he faced Ying Bailiu.

• Que Yi explained that Zhe Ying’s new abyss plan would use the Green Rhino humans’ beast bloodlines to scout the abyss and search for the Shadow Moon Demon Rat.
• Que Yi revealed that Su Yuexian’s Magic Beast traits had made her powerful enough to contend with him, and that Zhe Ying intended to use her as the plan’s strongest link.
• Su Yuexian urged the imprisoned humans to cultivate and said their only chance to survive was to defeat the Spirit Race and escape.
• After Sikong Jing lured Ying Bailiu away, Su Yuexi and the others killed the five Spirit Race geniuses left on Zhan You’s island.
• Zhan You and the others asked whether they should support Sikong Jing, but Su Yuexi refused because she did not want his Magic Beast form exposed.

Sikong Jing returned with Ying Bailiu’s corpse and led his group away before Zhe Ying’s forces could find them. Examining the bodies, Zhe Ying concluded that a hall’s disciples had attacked the Spirit Parrot Lineage, but dismissed Ying Bailiu’s claim that a Magic Beast was involved.

• Sikong Jing returned with Ying Bailiu’s corpse and warned everyone that Zhe Ying had been informed, so they packed up to leave.
• Sikong Jing threatened Zhan You over the attempted betrayal, ordered the corpses left intact, and had the group destroy their temporary cave dwelling.
• Sikong Jing used the Thousand-Man Army-Slaying Formation to evade exiles sent by Zhe Ying, who then found the bodies and summoned Zhe Ying.
• Zhe Ying and Ou Tu examined the corpses and found no evidence of Magic Beasts or their methods.
• Zhe Ying concluded that a large group of disciples from a hall had attacked the Spirit Parrot Lineage and decided Ying Bailiu had mistaken a half-human, half-beast culprit for a Magic Beast.
