Sikong Jing gave Baili Que six Blackforged Darkhook Claw moves, prompting her to break through, while Lang Yisuo also advanced and agreed to meet him at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. At the pavilion, Ning Jingjing's membership was revoked by her family, and she sought help from Tao Yue, whom Sikong Jing recognized as an enemy from Thunder Dragon Mountain.
Ning Jingjing rejected Tao Yue’s demand to kill Sikong Jing, and Tao Yue barred her from entering Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Lang Yisuo then tried to bring Sikong Jing and the others inside with his membership card, but the attendant still refused them entry.
Lang Yisuo rejected Tao Yue’s demand that he kill Sikong Jing and struck her instead, sparking a fight at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Tao Yue’s cousin Tong Ya ordered the pavilion guards to surround Lang Yisuo.
Lang Yisuo revealed himself as the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s second young master and punished Tao Yue, Tao Huai, and Tong Ya after they mistreated Sikong Jing and him. The Tao Family lost its business with the Pavilion, while Lang Yisuo left heartbroken but unwilling to kill Tao Yue.
Lang Yisuo gave Sikong Jing and his companions VIP crystal cards and promised him one hundred thousand Bright King Crystals to bid for the Many-Boned Beast's blood. Meanwhile, Lang Yizhan arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, reversed Lang Yisuo's orders, and froze his crystal card as Lang Yisuo explained why he had hidden his identity.
Sikong Jing and his companions won the Many-Boned Beast blood auction, but Lang Yizhan froze Lang Yisuo's crystal card and threatened them with punishment if they could not pay. Su Yuexi revealed nearly a thousand Bright Core Crystals, more than enough to cover the cost, leaving Sikong Jing stunned by his wife's wealth.
Sikong Jing discovered the enormous wealth hidden in Su Yuexi’s Jadeite Hairpin and decided to bid for five demon dragon inner cores to advance his cultivation. When he challenged Lei Zizhen’s bid, the rival’s allies were baffled about how VIP Room No. 10 could afford it.
After Sikong Jing won the auction, Lang Yizhan tried to pressure Lang Yisuo by freezing his crystal card and accusing Sikong Jing of swindling him. Lang Yisuo revealed that he had reached the Third Profound Heaven Realm and was entitled to disclose his identity, forcing Lang Yizhan to back down and restore his card.
Sikong Jing and his companions paid for the three auction items, thwarting Lang Yizhan’s attempt to punish them and recruit Lang Yisuo to his side. They left the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion with their purchases, while Lang Yisuo followed after warning his third brother not to drive away his major client.
After Sikong Jing's group left the auction, Lang Yizhan concealed his hostility toward Lang Yisuo by ordering the Tao siblings killed, then sent Lei Zizhen after Sikong Jing. Sikong Jing sent Ning Jingjing away with Su Yuexi and Elder Wei, but as Lei Zizhen attacked, he seized the chance to take control of Lei Zizhen's Thunderwing Dragon Serpent.
Sikong Jing turned the Thunderwing Dragon Serpent beneath him into a Blackforged Darkhook Dragon, gaining a powerful ally against Lei Zizhen. After advancing his own cultivation and the Blackforged Darkhook Claw technique, he prepared to fight back.
Sikong Jing and Lei Zizhen fought evenly until more than a hundred Long Night Star Luo Palace students arrived and surrounded them. With the Star Luo Palace intent on killing them both, Sikong Jing refused to ally with Lei Zizhen and prepared to leave.
Sikong Jing escaped the Star Luo Palace disciples after killing two of them, while Lei Zizhen was left to face their attack. Lang Yizhan intervened to save Lei, but only after agreeing that Lei would lose an arm, and Lei blamed Sikong Jing for his fate.
Sikong Jing fled Star Luo Palace’s pursuit, using Su Yuexi’s Bright Core Crystals to keep the Golden Soul Palace accelerating. He chose to make for the Bright Dragon Mountain Range while strengthening himself, and reached the Martial Soul Realm as the pursuers continued behind him.
Sikong Jing continued evading Bai Liuhun and Weng Yuhuan while learning that the Dark Wing Dragon Eagle could teach him its meridians and demon-power circulation directly. He reached Black Smoke Mountain, where he planned to hide or turn the hunt against his pursuers.
Sikong Jing cultivated in hiding at Black Smoke Mountain and advanced to the sixth level of the Martial Soul Realm before Star Luo Palace trapped him in the Galactic River Matrix. He detonated the White Moon Fan to break the blockade and began fighting his way through the weakened disciples.
Sikong Jing turned the tables on Star Luo Palace after using a quarter-hour under siege to strengthen his Dark Wing Black Flame Sword. He killed more than thirty disciples and badly wounded Weng Yuhuan, while Bai Liuhun ordered the remaining fighters to attack with everything they had.
Sikong Jing cornered Bai Liuhun and Weng Yuhuan with a summoned horde of demon beasts, then learned the Worry-Forget Sect had arrived to investigate deaths in the Bright Dragon Mountain Range. Knowing his younger sister Sikong Ling was with the sect and fearing their investigation, he attacked before they could interfere.
Sikong Jing pursued Bai Liuhun after Weng Yuhuan was abandoned and killed, but a powerful Worry-Forget Sect woman intervened before he could finish him. The woman, Wang Hua, dismissed Sikong Jing as an insignificant Holy Dragon Palace student as Worry-Forget Sect and Star Luo Palace forces gathered.
Wang Hua questioned Sikong Jing and Bai Liuhun about her junior sisters’ deaths, but Sikong Jing denied knowing anything and was allowed to leave. When Bai Liuhun revealed Sikong Jing’s name and that he came from the Azure Dragon Small Domain, Wang Hua realized he must have passed through the Bright Dragon Mountain Range and ordered her disciples to pursue him.
As Wang Hua pursued Sikong Jing into Black Smoke Mountain with a Mystic Heaven treasure, he drew on the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' blood essence to stir up nearby demon beasts. With escape impossible, Sikong Jing entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and began observing the Dark Wing Dragon Eagle's meridians again, risking a second descent into demonification; he began to lose control as the Golden Dragon Divine Dragon ordered the observation stopped.
Sikong Jing resisted demonic transformation until Wang Hua confronted him and attacked, forcing him to unleash his monstrous form. He slaughtered the Worry-Forget Sect disciples and commanded the demonic beasts to hunt the survivors, leaving Wang Hua fighting alone.
Sikong Jing pursued Wang Hua, destroyed the Worry-Forget Sect’s group, and killed Bai Liuhun and the Star Luo Palace trainees. He concealed his demonization and erased the evidence so the deaths would appear to be the work of demon beasts.
Sikong Jing tried to recover from his berserk state aboard the Worry-Forget Sect’s Divine Void Ship, but a woman arrived searching for Wang Hua. He learned that Wang Qing planned to kill Sikong Ling and confronted the woman as his beastly transformation returned.
Sikong Jing confronted a Worry-Forget Sect woman while still consumed by demonic possession, demanding to know when Wangqing would target his sister. After overpowering the woman, he learned Sikong Ling would enter seclusion in seven days and that Wangqing planned to strike three to ten days later.
