After Sikong Jing and the Heavenly Wolf Team shared the painful reasons behind their grudges, Yang Yi explained how he had built the team to give oppressed fighters a chance to rise. He led Sikong Jing and the new members to the team’s vast quarters and began outlining its structure and recruitment rules.
Sikong Jing and Yang Yi learned about the Heavenly Wolf Team’s lack of a military formation master and welcomed nearly a hundred new members who wanted to cultivate in peace. Li Feng then assigned Yang Yi a mission to recover a stolen auction item, intending to use its punishment to force Sikong Jing to surrender his arm-restoration method.
Sikong Jing and Yang Yi discussed how to expose Li Feng’s role in the Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron affair. After Sikong Jing demonstrated Shadow Moon’s power, they planned to target Energy Gathering Manor’s Lu Ju and investigate Ba Xiaoshan’s connections.
Yang Yi led the Heavenly Wolf Team to investigate the stolen Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron while Zhong Yang plotted to frame them with a counterfeit. The team surrounded the auction venue as Sikong Jing secretly headed alone to Energy Gathering Manor to act as an assassin.
Energy Gathering Manor’s master Lu Ju stole the Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron with Ba Xiaoshan, believing the theft was ordered by a powerful Eastern Tyrant figure. Sikong Jing confronted Lu Ju, and Lu Ju’s sudden change in demeanor left Sikong Jing wary as their conversation turned to the figure behind Ba Xiaoshan.
Lu Ju tried to force the Heavenly Wolf Team into giving him a promise by trapping Sikong Jing inside a formation, but Sikong Jing revealed he was only a Fifth Golden Body Realm cultivator. Lu Ju chose to attack him, only to discover he had struck an afterimage.
Sikong Jing confronted Lu Ju, using his elusive assassination skills to overcome the Spirit Agility expert’s confidence and force him to negotiate. Lu Ju named Zhong Pu as the man behind Ba Xiaoshan, leaving Sikong Jing to consider Zhong Yujun’s likely connection and continue searching for the Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron.
Sikong Jing discovered that the Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron was a counterfeit and obtained Lu Ju’s Incomplete Cloud-Gathering Art. He then killed Lu Ju, revealing that Lu Ju deserved it for enslaving people from minor domains and targeting the little princess of the Bright Dragon Mountain Range.
Sikong Jing killed Lu Ju, rescued a little princess from Ba Xiaoshan, and reclaimed the Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron, completing the mission alone. At the auction venue, Yang Yi continued interrogating the staff while Zhong Yang insisted Ba Xiaoshan had acted alone.
Yang Yi interrogated Zhong Yang and Ba Xiaoshan about the stolen Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron, while Zhong Yang tried to hide his scheme. The cauldron remained missing, and Sikong Jing revealed himself outside the auction hall with the rescued little princess as Zhong Yang took Ba Xiaoshan away.
Sikong Jing and Yang Yi realized Zhong Yang was behind the ancient cauldron scheme and planned to pass off the fake cauldron as genuine. Yang Yi entrusted the deception to Sikong Jing, then mistook the little princess for his romantic companion.
Sikong Jing took the orphaned little princess with him to find Hua Meixi after Yang Yi refused to arrange shelter for her. Meanwhile, Yang Yi’s team searched the auction house to mislead Zhong Yang, who realized the Heavenly Wolf Team’s operation was strange but did not suspect the missing Golden Body Realm youth.
Sikong Jing arrived at the Yao residence with the little princess to deliver Hua Lidian’s jade pendant to Hua Meixi’s mother, but Hua Meixi refused to meet him after he waited outside all night. Yao Yulou invited Sikong Jing inside and defended his decision to Hua Meixi, while Sikong Jing prepared a counterfeit Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron for the auction.
Hua Meixi mistook Sikong Jing's rescued companion for a girl he had bullied and drove him away before he could explain why he had come. The little princess defended Sikong Jing, while Hua Meixi continued to block his attempt to see her mother about Hua Lidian.
Hua Meixi learned that Sikong Jing had rescued the little princess and left her in Hua Meixi’s care, making Hua Meixi regret driving him away. Meanwhile, Sikong Jing completed an imitation Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron and raced to the auction, where Zhong Yang confronted Yang Yi over its absence.
Sikong Jing returned with a convincing counterfeit Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron, allowing Yang Yi’s team to proceed with their plan against Zhong Yang and Li Feng. At the auction, Yang Li and Wan Tonghui arrived expecting to watch Sikong Jing’s misfortune unfold.
Sikong Jing attended the Shaking Eight District auction with Yang Yi and discovered that its prices were far lower than he had expected, given the wealth inside the Blood Devour Dragon Pearl. The chapter ended as Zhong Pu unveiled an ancient cauldron as the third auction item, pointedly glancing at Sikong Jing and Yang Yi.
The Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron fetched eight million Bright King Crystals at auction, and Teng Lun won it. As Teng Lun began inspecting it, Yang Yi and Sikong Jing remained confident while Yao Yuzhi feared the accusation that the cauldron was fake.
Sikong Jing’s false Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron fooled Teng Lun and Zhong Yang, who both believed it was genuine. After Teng Lun paid and left with it, Sikong Jing and Yang Yi slipped away, while Yao Yuzhi and others followed Zhong Yang outside.
Yang Yi and Sikong Jing caught Zhong Yang with the real Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron and evidence of his theft, but he resisted arrest and fled. They led him into a grove, where nearly a thousand Heavenly Wolf Team members surrounded him.
The Heavenly Wolf Team executed Zhong Yang after he refused to surrender, while Sikong Jing blocked Zhong Yujun from rescuing him. Zhong Yujun backed down, leaving the conflict with Li Feng unresolved.
The Heavenly Wolf Team killed Zhong Yang after exposing his scheme to steal the genuine Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron and frame Lu Ju with a fake. Teng Lun returned furious over the counterfeit, but Yang Yi gave him the genuine cauldron and explained the team’s plan, leaving the matter exposed and Zhong Yujun still facing the fallout.
After the Heavenly Wolf Team’s trap killed Zhong Yang and recovered the genuine Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron, Sikong Jing persuaded Teng Lun to lend it to him for ten days. He returned with the cauldron while Zhong Yujun seethed over the team’s success.
Sikong Jing and the Heavenly Wolf Team avoided reporting directly to Li Feng, then returned to the auction, where Yang Li tried to claim the Moon King Heavenly Heart Manual for herself. Sikong Jing outbid her to buy the manual for Gongyang Ying, leaving the hall stunned and Yang Li furious.
Sikong Jing spent lavishly at the auction, buying the Moon King Heavenly Heart Manual for Gongyang Ying, Southern Copper Armor for Nan Xiu, and Iron King Tree Sap for Chou Zhan. He left Yang Yi’s offer unanswered after the captain declined a gift, still wondering how Sikong Jing had so much money.
