Sikong Jing returned secretly to the Long Night Imperial Capital as news favored Cheng Yusui and First Prince Ji Tan. When Emperor Ji Shengmang was declared dead and Ji Tan was proclaimed his successor, the princes and royal clan elders challenged the succession, but Ji Tan’s forces began moving to suppress them.
Ji Tan seized control of the Long Night Imperial Capital with help from the Worry-Forget Sect and confronted his father, Emperor Ji Shengmang, in the palace. Sikong Jing decided to enter the palace to learn what had happened and find out whether Ji Shengmang and Beigong Xianfeng were still alive.
Ji Tan revealed that he had arranged for the Way of Heaven Academy to attack the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace, then introduced Yan Ruyu as his empress before ordering Eunuch Zou to kill Ji Shengmang. As Ji Tan’s coronation preparations continued and the imperial city remained sealed, Sikong Jing arrived at a gate.
Sikong Jing entered the Imperial City with the Long Night Black Burn Army ready to follow his orders, while Sikong Ling entered Ji Shengmang’s study and offered to kill the emperor herself. The chapter ended with Ji Tan allowing her to proceed as the Worry-Forget Sect experts tried to stop her.
Sikong Ling revealed her identity as Sikong Jing’s younger sister and saved Ji Shengmang after he refused to betray Sikong Jing. As Ji Tan finished rewarding his allies in Night Emperor Hall, an unknown speaker interrupted to ask what reward and position their world-shaking merit deserved.
Sikong Jing returned to the Night Emperor Hall and demanded recognition for his achievements. Ji Tan offered him a place above Cheng Yusui while secretly arranging for the Worry-Forget Sect to kill him.
Sikong Jing faced Ji Tan and Yan Ruyu in the Night Emperor Hall as they used an imperial title to humiliate him and prepared to surround him. The chapter left him shaken when Yan Ruyu revealed that Pang Ruanxi had arrived at Long Night Holy Dragon Palace.
Sikong Jing revealed that he was Dark Wing and called the Long Night Black Burn Army to seize the imperial palace and capture Ji Tan. As the Black Burn Army stormed the city and Cheng Yusui went to rally the White Flame Army, Sikong Jing challenged Ji Tan to recognize his titles and legitimacy.
Sikong Jing faced the Worry-Forget Sect’s attempt to kill him, but the Eternal Night Wolf Guard and a massive Dark Wing force arrived to protect him and destroy the Night Emperor Hall. With the Long Night Black Burn Army and Long Night White Flame Army also closing in, the chapter left Ji Tan and the Worry-Forget Sect surrounded as the Second Elder warned the Young Sect Master not to emerge.
Sikong Jing used the Emotionless Ice Mystic Shield to retreat and join the ten-million-strong Long Night Black Burn Army. Cheng Yusui tried to turn the army against him, but Ning Jingjing revealed that the Dark Wing Camp was the Sixty-Sixth Legion he had once ordered to its death.
Sikong Jing revealed himself as the Dark Wing commander, and Beigong Xianfeng returned alive to rally the Long Night Black Burn Army against Ji Tan’s forces. The rebels lost the battlefield’s advantage, while Yan Ruyu blamed Ji Tan for ignoring her warnings and he drew his sword on her.
Yan Ruyu revealed her plan to use Wang Ge, Sikong Ling’s identity, as leverage against Sikong Jing, while Sikong Ling learned how Yan Ruyu had once harmed her brother and prepared a counterattack. The chapter left Sikong Ling and the Worry-Forget Sect experts lying in wait as Yan Ruyu approached, with Ji Shengmang arranging for the eunuchs to let the trap unfold.
Yan Ruyu revealed that Wang Ge was Sikong Ling, Sikong Jing’s younger sister, and used Sikong Ling’s collapsed cultivation to try to force Sikong Jing to surrender. Sikong Jing recognized that Sikong Ling was pretending to be helpless, while the Worry-Forget Sect’s forces turned on Ji Tan and confronted Yan Ruyu on the battlefield.
Yan Ruyu forced Sikong Jing to lead the Long Night Black Burn Army against the Worry-Forget Sect, believing she had made him helpless by threatening his sister. The chapter ended when Sikong Ling revealed that her apparent collapse and deathly condition had been an act, then slapped Yan Ruyu.
Sikong Jing revealed that he and Sikong Ling had staged the apparent cultivation backlash to help her take control of the Worry-Forget Sect, which then submitted to her. As Sikong Ling left to aid the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace, Ji Tan tried to flee, but the princes’ contest for the throne was interrupted when their supposedly dead imperial father appeared.
After Sikong Jing defeated the palace conspirators, Ji Shengmang restored order and learned that Sikong Jing might soon leave the Eastern Plains Northern Lands. At the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace, the Way of Heaven Academy trapped the defenders in a duel arena and demanded Sikong Jing’s wife.
Shui Yuyin badly wounded Shi Tingxuan in the Way of Heaven Duel Arena, forcing Qin Luo to enter and fight her. Qin Luo defeated Shui Yuyin, but He Jia replaced her and began suppressing him.
Su Yuexi entered the Way of Heaven Duel Arena to take Baili Que’s place against Han Dingshuang, after he badly wounded Baili and threatened to strike again. As Su Yuexi faced Pang Ruanxi’s hostility, Sikong Jing raced toward the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace, unaware of the crisis, when a transparent barrier suddenly trapped him.
Yu Wenxiong trapped Sikong Jing in the Way of Heaven Duel Arena and prepared to kill him, while revealing that the Way of Heaven Academy had trapped the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace as well. At the palace, Su Yuexi resolved to face the attackers rather than let others die for her.
Pang Ruanxi revealed that Yu Wenxiong had trapped Sikong Jing in a second Way of Heaven Duel Arena, while Han Dingshuang threatened Baili Que. Su Yuexi entered the battle to save Baili Que, leaving Long Night Holy Dragon Palace stunned by her strength.
Su Yuexi and Sikong Jing faced deadly battles on separate fronts while Long Night Holy Dragon Palace tried to find a way to save them. Sikong Jing revealed his beast arm and unleashed Blood Devour First Claw against Yu Wenxiong.
Sikong Jing fought Yu Wenxiong in the Way of Heaven Duel Arena, overcoming the higher-ranked opponent with his beast arm, spirit platform consciousness sea, and combat predictions. Yu Wenxiong was driven back and injured as Sikong Jing continued pressing the attack.
Sikong Jing killed Yu Wenxiong inside the Way of Heaven Duel Arena, turning the trap against its creator. After recovering the arena disc, Sikong Jing led the Sixty-Sixth Legion toward Long Night Holy Dragon Palace, where Way of Heaven Academy’s students watched in shock as his victory was revealed.
Pang Ruanxi entered the Way of Heaven Duel Arena and brutally attacked Su Yuexi while the Long Night Holy Dragon Palace fought the Way of Heaven Academy outside. Su Yuexi revealed a battle physique, but Ren Dongmeng blocked Hua Lidian from using the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce’s rules to rescue her.
Su Yuexi revealed her Battle Body while defending herself from Pang Ruanxi, who intended to steal her bloodline. The Worry-Forget Sect forcibly broke through Long Night Holy Dragon Palace’s formation, and Aunt Pang tried to negotiate with them as they converged on Gold Dragon Mountain.
