Yang Li tried to humiliate Hua Meixi, while the captains’ fragment maps were delivered to Duanmu Chun for inspection. Hua Meixi’s map proved to be the first successful one, and Duanmu Chun hurried to reward her.
Duanmu Chun announced that cracking the full Black Jade Master Fragment Map would earn a Tyrant Soul Token, then revealed that Hua Meixi’s team had succeeded. A guard’s mix-up briefly led Wan Tonghui and Yang Li to believe they had won, leaving them humiliated when the mistake was corrected.
Hua Meixi’s team revealed that Sikong Jing had taught them how to decipher the Black Jade Fragmentary Diagram, shocking Duanmu Chun and the captains. Duanmu Chun, unwilling to admit Sikong Jing’s ability, accused him of deliberately withholding the diagram.
Sikong Jing exposed that a guard had hidden the Heavenly Wolf Team’s cracked Black Jade Minor Fragmentary Diagram, then demanded a Tyrant Soul Token before agreeing to crack the master fragment map. He successfully deciphered it, leaving Duanmu Chun demanding to know how he had done it while Sikong Jing refused to explain.
Sikong Jing negotiated with Duanmu Chun for a Tyrant Soul Token and treatment to restore the Heavenly Wolf Team members’ severed limbs, then refused Wan Tonghui and Yang Li’s demand to hand over the token. The chapter ended with Wan Tonghui revealing his fifth-grade battle physique and threatening the Heavenly Wolf Team.
Yang Yi rejected the captains’ pressure to surrender the Tyrant Soul Token and defeated Wan Tonghui, who had just gained a fifth-grade battle body. Meanwhile, Duanmu Chun and Di Geng discussed Sikong Jing’s knowledge of the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram and planned to meet Old He the next day.
Sikong Jing’s offer to help restore the Heavenly Wolf members’ bodies moved the team and prompted Hua Meixi to apologize for her past prejudice. He left their encounter by leaving his meeting with Hua Meixi and her mother to fate, while Hua Meixi secretly planned to prevent them from meeting again.
Hua Meixi tried to keep Jiang Wanyou away from Sikong Jing, but Jiang Wanyou heard the Fury Flower Squad praise him and became convinced that he had excellent character. She decided Sikong Jing was worthy of Uncle Xiu’s cultivation.
Yao Yulou received orders to use Jiang Wanyou to find Xiu Hanzhi, but learned she had visited the Healing Clinic and realized Xiu Hanzhi might already be within reach. Meanwhile, Old He and Old Xiu met Duanmu Chun to collect a deciphered map, only for him to trap them and demand answers about their origins and intentions.
Old Xiu convinced Duanmu Chun that the Black Jade Master Fragment Map came from the Overlord Soul Battle-Killing Diagram and claimed he wanted to take Sikong Jing as his disciple. Once he and Old He escaped the Eastern Tyrant Store, Old Xiu realized their deception might soon be exposed and ordered Old He to abduct Sikong Jing and warn Little Jiang.
Duanmu Chun realized Old Xiu and Old He had deceived him with an illusion, then suspected they were Su Old Devil’s surviving followers. Old He abducted Sikong Jing and explained that his old friend wanted to take him as a disciple after testing his talent.
Old He took Sikong Jing toward Yao Residence to meet the person who would judge his talent, but learned that Jiang Wanyou had gone to Chaos District Eight and followed her there. Meanwhile, Duanmu Chun discovered Sikong Jing was missing and mobilized forces to search for him as Yang Yi led the Heavenly Wolf Team toward Chaos District Eight.
Jiang Wanyou was trapped inside Old Xiu's clinic when Duanmu Chun confronted Xiu Hanzhi, but Old Xiu used the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation to control Chaos District Eight's residents and drive Duanmu Chun back. As Duanmu Chun prepared to attack again, Old He and Sikong Jing arrived and struck him into a crater.
Old Xiu brought Sikong Jing to the Healing Clinic and offered to make him his disciple, while Duanmu Chun infiltrated the clinic to uncover their plans. Sikong Jing unexpectedly refused Old Xiu’s offer, leaving everyone stunned.
Sikong Jing exposed his refusal to inherit the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram as a ruse to draw out eavesdroppers, then revealed that he had already received Su’s inheritance. He convinced Old Xiu and Old He that he was Su Yuexi’s husband, who had faked his death to survive Willow Leaf Holy Manor.
Sikong Jing explained how he survived Willow Leaf Holy Manor’s attempt to erase him and obtained Su Beiheng’s inheritance. After confirming Old Xiu and Old He had protected his family and Jiang Wanyou, he revealed the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram, and Old Xiu recognized him as their Young Master.
Sikong Jing accepted Old Xiu and Old He’s request to lead Su Beiheng’s surviving followers, while insisting they judge him on his own merits. After Sikong Jing’s blood suppressed Old Xiu’s beast poison, Old Xiu formed the Qianyuan Military Domain to face Duanmu Chun’s approaching attack.
Old Xiu seized control of part of Duanmu Chun’s army to buy time for Jiang Wanyou to escape, but Sikong Jing refused to leave with him because the new force was not strong enough to rescue Su Yuexi. Old Xiu and Old He departed as the Qianyuan Military Domain collapsed, leaving Sikong Jing waiting for Duanmu Chun as a mysterious figure entered Chaos District Eight seeking Xiu Hanzhi.
Sikong Jing hid in the Healing Clinic’s backyard as a sinister envoy and his companion searched for Xiu Hanzhi and planned to use Jiang Wanyou as leverage. Just as the envoy was about to discover him, a white-clad swordsman struck the envoy from behind, leaving Sikong Jing stunned.
Yao Yulou killed the middle-aged envoy to protect Jiang Wanyou, while Sikong Jing concealed what he had witnessed and resolved to grow stronger. When Duanmu Chun stormed the Healing Clinic, he found only Sikong Jing, who told him Xiu Hanzhi and He Congsheng had already escaped.
After Xiu Hanzhi escaped, Sikong Jing concealed what he knew about Yao Yulou and the Thousand Kings Holy Tower while answering Duanmu Chun's questions. Di Geng forcibly interrogated him, but Sikong Jing pretended to be controlled and gave him a prepared explanation.
Di Geng questioned Sikong Jing about Xiu Hanzhi and Su Old Devil, but Sikong Jing’s answers revealed nothing and his forced control ended when Duanmu Chun reacted angrily to a fabricated explanation. Sikong Jing went to protect the children in Yang Yi’s courtyard, where someone demanded that a suspicious woman remove her bamboo hat.
Sikong Jing arrived at Yang Yi’s courtyard and intervened when Martial Cry Battle Team members threatened Jiang Wanyou and the children. After rescuing Xiao Min, he demanded that the man who struck her apologize and punish himself, then began counting down.
Sikong Jing killed the Martial Cry member who had threatened Xiao Min, then slaughtered the other attackers after Zheng Chepao ordered them to seize him. He faced Zheng Chepao, who unleashed his fourth Battle Martial Realm power and second-grade battle body, and prepared to fight him.
Sikong Jing defeated Zheng Chepao after the Martial Cry Battle Team attacked Jiang Wanyou and the children, killing several of its members and driving Zheng away. He reassured Jiang Wanyou that he and Yang Yi could handle the consequences, then asked Xiao Min whether her message bird had been meant for Yang Yi.
