Sikong Jing realized Yang Yi wanted the Blood-Coagulating Vital Marrow Pill and outbid Wan Tonghui and Yang Li to keep it within reach. He drove the price to twenty-two million Bright King Crystals, leaving Yang Li near her spending limit and the auction unresolved.
Sikong Jing won the Blood-Coagulating Vital Marrow Pill and gave it to Yang Yi, while Wan Tonghui and Yang Li mocked Yang Yi for wanting to become a battle body. After Yao Yuzhi took Sikong Jing aside, Li Feng learned that Sikong Jing had deliberately invoked an exclusive secret technique to warn him.
Li Feng suspected Sikong Jing had powerful treasures and outside support, but chose to investigate Teng Lun rather than risk a trap. Meanwhile, Yao Yuzhi discovered Sikong Jing’s arm had fully recovered and worried that he was already caught in dangerous conflicts.
Sikong Jing explained his defiance of powerful enemies to Yao Yuzhi, then revealed that he had killed the Bloodforged Patriarch and possessed his Blood Devour Dragon Pearl. Yao Yuzhi warned him to hide the truth and told him that the Tyrant Soul Token could lead him to a secret realm and a way to gain Tyrant Lotus Venerable’s protection.
Yao Yuzhi explained why Sikong Jing needed the Tyrant Soul Token and warned him about the Eastern Tyrant Branch’s hidden geniuses. After leaving her, Sikong Jing was ambushed by an unknown War Martial Realm archer and fought back.
Sikong Jing used the moonlight to hide from an attack by the Eagle Group of the Ten Thousand Victories Team, then silently killed its members while identifying who had sent them. He revealed the Eagle Group leader’s identity, leaving the leader alone and alarmed.
Sikong Jing killed the Eagle Group Leader after defeating his defenses and learned that Wan Tonghui had ambushed Yang Yi in Chaos District Eight. He raced there to warn Yang Yi, who was still walking alone through the district, hoping to use the Blood-Coagulating Vital Marrow Pill to cure Xiao Min.
Yang Yi was ambushed by Wan Tonghui, who wanted the Blood-Coagulating Vital Marrow Pill, and fought him with a sword style that stunned Old Xiu and Old He. They recognized it as Su Old Devil’s Killing Sword Dao and wondered whether Yang Yi was his successor.
Sikong Jing arrived just in time to rescue Yang Yi from Wan Tonghui’s attack and explained that the Eagle Group leader had warned him of the ambush. Yang Yi survived the ordeal, while Wan Tonghui was left pinned in the ground by Sikong Jing’s strike.
Sikong Jing and the wounded Yang Yi fought together against Wan Tonghui and the Ten Thousand Victories Team, driving Wan Tonghui to flee before Yang Yi collapsed. Sikong Jing took Yang Yi to a clinic, where Old Xiu and Old He watched from hiding and discussed Sikong Jing’s potential as a disciple.
Sikong Jing studied the Cloud-Gathering Beast Ancient Cauldron while Li Feng questioned Teng Lun and learned the Heavenly Wolf Team had used Cloud-Gathering Beast urine to pass off the counterfeit cauldron as real. After Yang Yi recovered, he and Sikong Jing went to a courtyard, where Yang Yi rushed inside to greet Auntie Jiang.
Sikong Jing learned that Yang Yi had urgently sought the Blood-Coagulating Vital Marrow Pill to cure Xiao Min, and watched him give her a portion. Elsewhere, Aunt Jiang reunited with Old Xiu and Old He, who revealed that she was Old Jiang’s daughter and that Old Jiang had cultivated Boss Su’s Killing Sword Dao.
Aunt Jiang reunited with Old Xiu and Old He, and agreed to assess Sikong Jing at Old Xiu’s request. As Yang Yi and Sikong Jing traveled to Shaking One District, Yang Yi revealed how Aunt Jiang had shaped his life and why he revered Su Beiheng.
Sikong Jing and Yang Yi learned that Wan Tonghui had reported the deaths of Ten Thousand Victories Team members to Duanmu Chun, and they resolved to expose the scheme against the Heavenly Wolf Team. At the Tyrant Judgment Tower, they saw that Wan Tonghui and Yang Zhi had forged evidence of battle, setting the stage for the investigation.
Duanmu Chun investigated the deaths of two Ten Thousand Victories Team groups, and Sikong Jing and Yang Yi admitted they had killed people in the districts where the groups died. The hearing ended with Wan Tonghui needing to prove that they knew their victims were team members and attacked first.
Sikong Jing challenged the testimony accusing him and Yang Yi of attacking Ten Thousand Victories Team members, exposing a witness’s account of the Eagle Group battle as implausible. He left the confrontation still claiming he did not know who had attacked him.
Sikong Jing and Yang Yi turned the accusations back on Wan Tonghui, prompting Duanmu Chun to order an investigation into the escaped attacker. Just as Hua Meixi moved to inspect Wan Tonghui, Nether Protector Venerable arrived at the Eastern Tyrant Branch, and Sikong Jing suspected why he had come.
Nether Protector Venerable arrived to take Sikong Jing away, claiming Tyrant Fierce Venerable had judged him guilty. Duanmu Chun and the Eastern Overlord Deciders united to defend Sikong Jing, and Yao Yulou revealed that Ju Dan had likely accused Sikong Jing of being connected to Su Old Devil.
Sikong Jing was cleared of the charges against him in the Eastern Plains after the Tyrant Judges intervened, though Duanmu Chun made clear he was not becoming Sikong Jing’s backer. Yao Yulou warned Sikong Jing that Ju Dan had drawn Tyrant Fierce Venerable’s attention to him, leaving Sikong Jing to hurry and fulfill Yao Yuzhi’s instructions.
Duanmu Chun learned of Sikong Jing’s extraordinary feats but still regarded non-battle bodies as tools, while Sikong Jing returned to the Heavenly Wolf Courtyard and vowed to avenge Yang Yi. Wan Tonghui then faced Yang Zhi and Yang Li, who demanded that he repay the Yang Family’s support and give up on Hua Meixi.
Yang Zhi pressured Wan Tonghui into marrying Yang Li by offering him a rare pill, and he accepted. Meanwhile, Hua Meixi learned that her mother had met Sikong Jing and, after mistaking the encounter for a sign that he had harmed her, discovered they had only crossed paths briefly.
Hua Meixi tried to convince Jiang Wanyou that Sikong Jing was a bad person, but a girl he had rescued revealed his kindness and made Jiang Wanyou curious about him. Hua Meixi went to Heavenly Wolf Courtyard to speak with Sikong Jing, only to learn he was in secluded cultivation and would not see her.
Sikong Jing cultivated the Cloud-Gathering Palm, broke through to the Soul-Reversal Realm, and condensed a spirit shadow that let him achieve spirit-martial fusion ahead of the Spirit Martial Stage. He judged that his strength could now rival Yang Yi's and prepared to absorb the Emperor Martial Stage Iron-Wing Divine Vulture's inner core.
After six days of seclusion, Sikong Jing emerged and helped the Heavenly Wolf Team decipher a fragmentary military formation diagram for a chance at a large reward. He accompanied Yang Yi and Fan Kui to submit it, where rival captains mocked the team for lacking a formation master.
Yang Yi, Sikong Jing, and Fan Kui faced open contempt while submitting the Heavenly Wolf Team’s Black Jade Minor Fragmentary Diagram at the Supreme Tyrant Judgment Tower. Wan Tonghui and Yang Li arrived together, submitted their own diagrams, and announced their engagement, while Yang Li excluded Yang Yi from the banquet.
