• The Ice King Sect Master asked what Sikong Jing would do with him, and Sikong Jing said he could not leave town but could choose between two options.

Sikong Jing forced the Ice King Sect Master to publicly claim he was one of Su Old Devil’s remnants, then led him and Ren You’s women onto Wuji Town’s wall. As Pei Yufeng and the assembled venerables watched, Sikong Jing instructed the sect master to summon Pei Yufeng for a talk.

• Sikong Jing offered the Ice King Sect Master a choice between publicly claiming to be Su Old Devil’s remnant or dying on the town wall, and the sect master chose to live.

• Sikong Jing told the Ice King Sect Master to laugh three times and tell Pei Yufeng to come over and talk.

• Cold Cave Venerable returned during the clash, grabbed Pei Yufeng, and fled toward the palace.

• Sikong Jing told Master Wuji to keep the Ice King Sect Master barely alive in case Pei Yufeng possessed his life lamp.

• Pei Yufeng cursed the Ice King Sect Master and vowed to capture Xiu Hanzhi alive to recover from his humiliation.

Pei Yufeng failed to persuade the venerables to attack Wuji Town immediately, so he delayed the assault for two days and planned to use Sikong Buwang’s unknown fate to provoke Extinguishing Love Venerable into leading the charge. Meanwhile, He Congsheng told Xiu Hanzhi that the young master was with Qi Wuji and asked what they should do.

• The venerables refused to risk an immediate attack without better odds or tangible rewards, so Pei Yufeng promised an Imperial-level battle formation master and a final offensive in two days.
• Cold Cave Venerable told Pei Yufeng to claim that Sikong Buwang had been forced into Wuji Town and might be dead, hoping the story would enrage Extinguishing Love Venerable.

• In a gloomy ice forest, He Congsheng told Xiu Hanzhi that the young master was with Qi Wuji and asked what they should do.

Old Xiu recognized Sikong Jing’s formation signals and chose to trust that he could save Wuji Town without exposing himself by rushing in. Sikong Jing then halted the Mindless Fox Sect’s formation practice after apparently making contact with Old Xiu.

• Old Xiu and Old He prepared to launch a joint assault on the forces surrounding Wuji Town to rescue Sikong Jing and Old Qi.
• Old Xiu sensed Sikong Jing repeatedly using formations to tell them to stay hidden, trust him to defeat the attackers, and wait for contact.
• Old Xiu had his troops signal back with the Bloodforged Army-Slaying Formation, then sent people near Wuji Town while keeping his forces ready to intervene.
• Sikong Jing stopped the Mindless Fox Sect’s troops from practicing the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation, and Master Wuji asked whether he had made contact.

Sikong Jing told Master Wuji that an invited expert would take him from the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm, while Pei Yufeng’s forces prepared to storm Wuji Town. The assault began, but Xiu Hanzhi did not appear to defend the town, and the defenders started retreating.

• Sikong Jing said he would heal in seclusion in the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and warned Master Wuji not to search for him when the expert arrived.
• Two days later, Pei Yufeng gathered his forces and the Extinguishing Love Venerable outside Wuji Town, using her desire to save Sikong Buwang to spur the assault.
• Formation Master Lü completed the battle-killing formation, and Pei Yufeng ordered the troops to attack Wuji Town.
• Qi Teng ordered the defenders to use the town’s formation and imperial artifacts briefly before retreating, while Formation Master Lü challenged Xiu Hanzhi to a duel.
• Cold Cave Venerable noticed that the people on Wuji Town’s walls were retreating, and Xiu Hanzhi still had not appeared.

Pei Yufeng’s forces leveled Wuji Town, but the sudden destruction and a woman’s claim that Xiu Hanzhi needed rescuing made the Venerables suspect a trap. Pei Yufeng revealed that he had secretly seized the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and explained how his operatives had controlled anyone who entered it.

• Formation Master Lu’s light spears shattered Wuji Town’s defenses and reduced the town to ruins, while Pei Yufeng warned his forces to stop in case the destruction concealed a trap.
• Ren You, disguised as a woman, rescued a child and pretended to flee underground while saying that Xiu Hanzhi had to be rescued from the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm.
• The Venerables concluded that the woman’s words were likely bait meant to lure them into an ambush, though some questioned why the scheme would be so obvious.
• Pei Yufeng told the Venerables that he had secretly sent operatives to seize the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm after Qi Wuji was exposed.
• Pei Yufeng explained that his operatives had stayed hidden because few people could open the mini-realm, and that they captured and controlled anyone who entered using poison and the vulnerable people inside.

Pei Yufeng suspected Xiu Hanzhi had been captured in the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and maneuvered the other venerables into probing it for traps. He followed with his loyal, injured venerables as troops advanced into Wuji Town, where its residents were hiding in the underground passages.

• Pei Yufeng claimed his planted operatives had captured Xiu Hanzhi in the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and urged the venerables to prevent Qi Wuji from rescuing him.
• Pei Yufeng proposed sending Formation Master Lu into Wuji Town while the venerables searched for traps, then said he would head to the mini-realm with loyal followers.
• Cold Cave Venerable and the other venerables left the Divine Shuttle Ship, each claiming to investigate the town, while Extinguishing Love Venerable went to find Sikong Buwang.
• Pei Yufeng told his injured followers that the other venerables were secretly heading for the mini-realm, and that he had sent them ahead to test for traps.

Sikong Jing waited in the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm to ambush the Venerables arriving one by one, while Cold Cave Venerable forced Qi Teng to open the entrance. Cold Cave Venerable entered and believed he had killed Qi Teng to keep the others out, but Qi Teng survived the apparent explosion.

• Xiao Liang explained that the Venerables’ desire to capture Xiu Hanzhi would lead them into Sikong Jing’s trap one by one.
• Sikong Jing told Dark Pin he planned to kill the arriving Venerables individually, then spotted Cold Cave Venerable approaching alone.
• Cold Cave Venerable defeated Qi Teng and the Spirit Sparrow experts, then tortured Qi Teng until he opened the mini-realm entrance.
• Cold Cave Venerable entered the mini-realm and triggered the power he had planted in Qi Teng, believing the blast had killed him.
• Qi Teng survived the explosion, leaving Cold Cave Venerable unaware that his plan to delay the other Venerables had failed.

Sikong Jing lured Cold Cave Venerable into the sealed Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and revealed that he had captured Pei Yufeng’s spy, Dark Pin. He began devouring Dark Pin’s true energy, entered a demonic state, and fought Cold Cave Venerable as his power surged.

• Qi Teng revealed that his Venerable-level strength was part of Sikong Jing’s plan and recovered from his injuries while awaiting the next move.
• Cold Cave Venerable realized the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm was empty and trapped, then confronted the masked Sikong Jing and the bound Dark Pin.
• Sikong Jing explained that he had kept Dark Pin alive to devour his true energy and began absorbing the power of the third-realm Emperor Martial Stage expert.
• Sikong Jing transformed into a demon, identified himself as Su Beiheng’s successor and called himself Sikong Devil.
• Cold Cave Venerable attacked, but Sikong Jing blocked his blow and continued devouring Dark Pin’s power until he reached the third major realm of the Emperor Martial Stage.

Sikong Jing devoured Dark Pin and Cold Cave Venerable in the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm, raising his demonic aura to the fourth major realm of the Emperor Martial Stage. Meanwhile, Extinguishing Love Venerable learned that Sikong Buwang was in the mini-realm and went to find him.

• Sikong Jing explained that he had lured a single Venerable into the mini-realm so he could devour enough power to defeat the others, then attacked Cold Cave Venerable.
• Sikong Jing defeated Cold Cave Venerable and devoured his true qi, reaching the fourth major realm of the Emperor Martial Stage while continuing to absorb his remaining power.
• A Spirit Sparrow expert told Master Wuji that Extinguishing Love Venerable and another female Venerable had entered Wuji Town seeking Sikong Buwang.
• Master Wuji told the expert to direct Extinguishing Love Venerable to the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and assured her that Sikong Buwang was safe.
• Extinguishing Love Venerable accepted the directions with a warning and sped toward the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm.

Extinguishing Love Venerable’s charge convinced Pei Yufeng that Wuji Town had no traps, so he ordered his forces to surround and slaughter its inhabitants. Meanwhile, two more Venerables entered the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and discovered Sikong Jing devouring Cold Cave Venerable; Sikong Jing attacked them and forced them back inside.

• Extinguishing Love Venerable and her old friend rushed toward the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm after she found no traps in Wuji Town.
• Pei Yufeng ordered Formation Master Lu to surround Wuji Town and planned to slaughter its remaining inhabitants so no Venerable could take Xiu Hanzhi away unnoticed.
• Two Venerables used the Soul-Returning Mirror to learn that Cold Cave Venerable had entered the mini-realm, then forced Qi Teng to open its entrance.
• The two Venerables entered the mini-realm and found Sikong Jing holding the nearly devoured Cold Cave Venerable instead of anyone stirring up the situation.
• Sikong Jing blasted one Venerable through the entrance, carried the unconscious Qi Teng outside, and hurled the Venerable back into the mini-realm.
• Sikong Jing returned inside and kicked the second Venerable back as he tried to escape.

Sikong Jing trapped two Venerables in the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm and began devouring them after draining Cold Cave Venerable. As the Venerables succumbed, Cold Cave Venerable revealed Sikong Jing's true identity and plan.

• Sikong Jing returned to the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm after rescuing Qi Teng, and Qi Teng closed the entrance at his command.
• Qi Teng learned from the Spirit Sparrow experts that a terrifying figure had rescued him and assumed Cold Cave Venerable was already dead.
• Cold Cave Venerable identified the demon beast as Sikong Buwang and Xiu Hanzhi before Sikong Jing pulled him back and devoured him.
• Sikong Jing told the trapped Venerables that devouring them would give him enough strength, and they tried to fight him before attempting to escape.
• Sikong Jing seized both Venerables and began draining them as Cold Cave Venerable revealed that Sikong Buwang was Su Old Devil's true inheritor, had cultivated the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation, and had disguised himself as Xiu Hanzhi to lure them into the trap.
