Sikong Jing’s demonic power terrified the Venerables, while the Soul-Returning Mirror revealed a dangerous trap inside the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm. As Pei Yufeng ordered an assault on Wuji Town, Qi Teng and the Spirit Sparrow Clan surrendered, and Master Wuji followed.
Sikong Jing emerged from the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm in his Blood Devour Magic Beast form and confronted the Venerables gathered in Wuji Town. He killed the sword-wielding Venerable with ease, leaving the others shaken by his strength.
After Sikong Jing killed the Sword-Drawing Venerable, Master Wuji explained how Pei Yufeng’s plan had become a trap for the invaders. As the remaining Venerables gathered around Sikong Jing, he ordered Qi Teng to seal the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm with Extinguishing Love Venerable inside.
Sikong Jing blocked the Venerables while Qi Teng descended, then explained his plan as Pei Yufeng prepared to attack Wuji Town. He revealed that Xiu Hanzhi would not fight because Sikong Jing could use an Army-Slaying Formation through the demonic beasts himself.
Sikong Jing revealed that Wuji Town had pretended to surrender so its people could join his Beast Slaughter Array and break through Pei Yufeng’s encirclement. Master Wuji then revealed the Spirit Sparrow Clan’s hidden strength and cultivation techniques, leading Pei Yufeng to realize Sikong Jing was Sikong Buwang.
Sikong Jing used his will as the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts to seize control of the demonic beast mounts surrounding Wuji Town, disrupting Formation Master Lu’s Army-Slaying Formation. Pei Yufeng ordered his troops to withdraw, leaving their mounts behind as Sikong Jing prepared to face them in a battle of armies.
Sikong Jing led the monster beasts in a Beast Slaughter Array that shattered Pei Yufeng’s forces and forced Pei Yufeng and Formation Master Lu to flee. He sent Master Wuji and the people of Wuji Town toward Xiu Hanzhi to hide in the Central Plains, promising to take Sikong Jing away safely.
Sikong Jing protected Wuji Town’s retreat while using the battle to develop his own demon beast formation. Master Wuji and the Spirit Sparrow Clan reunited with Old Xiu and Old He, who learned Sikong Jing had stayed behind and decided to leave the Ten Thousand Ice City region and wait for him.
Sikong Jing kept Pei Yufeng’s forces occupied while Master Wuji, Xiu Hanzhi, and the others escaped from Ten Thousand Ice City. When the Extinguishing Love Venerable forcibly opened the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm, Sikong Jing rushed toward Wuji Town to protect Qi Teng, while Pei Yufeng discovered that his targets had vanished.
Pei Yufeng learned that the humanoid vicious beast had left and set out to punish Sikong Buwang and the Extinguishing Love Venerable. In Wuji Town, the Extinguishing Love Venerable and Qi Teng searched for Sikong Buwang until Sikong Jing appeared as the Blood Devour Magic Beast and claimed he had taken him away, prompting her to attack.
Sikong Jing fought Extinguishing Love Venerable and Qi Teng while disguised as a humanoid vicious beast, then left after assuring them that he had not killed Sikong Buwang. Extinguishing Love Venerable realized she had begun cultivating the Dao Sikong Buwang described, and learned that he had arranged the beast's help to protect the remnants of Su Old Devil; she ended by asking whether she would see him again.
Sikong Jing discovered that the Ice King Sect Master had survived and went to deal with him, while Pei Yufeng led the Venerables back to Wuji Town to attack Sikong Buwang and the Extinguishing Love Venerable. The groups converged when the Ice King Sect Master emerged from the ruins and found Pei Yufeng’s Divine Shuttle Ship overhead.
The Ice King Sect Master baited Pei Yufeng with secrets about Sikong Buwang and Xiu Hanzhi, then died without revealing the truth. As Pei Yufeng set out for the Spirit Sparrow Mini-Realm, Sikong Jing appeared and offered to explain everything.
Sikong Jing slaughtered the Venerables who attacked him at Wuji Town, but Pei Yufeng used a bottle of deadly beast poison against him. Pei Yufeng claimed the poison came from the world’s most venomous demonic beast and would kill even a Saint Martial Stage expert, while the Venerable who handled it began to die from its effects.
Sikong Jing survived Pei Yufeng’s beast poison and revealed that it could not harm him. After Pei Yufeng learned Sikong Buwang was one of Su Old Devil’s remnants, Sikong Jing left him to face his fate.
Sikong Jing returned to Ten Thousand Ice City after sparing Misty Sunset Venerable, only to find Sikong Ling threatened at Fox Gate Manor. As he prepared to intervene, Everlasting Love Venerable and First Martial Aunt arrived, bringing a powerful new presence into the confrontation.
Sikong Jing watched to see whether Everlasting Love Venerable would protect Sikong Ling, and she arrived just in time to stop Bi Xian from cutting off Sikong Ling’s arm. When Bi Xian accused Sikong Ling of disgracing the Thoughtless Sacred Sect, Sikong Ling calmly explained that she had defeated a peak Spirit Battle Realm disciple while at the War Martial Realm.
Sikong Ling revealed her breakthrough in cultivation and confirmed that Sikong Buwang had defeated geniuses from several factions at the betting arena, leaving the Fox Gate Master unable to dismiss her claims. The Everlasting Love Venerable then asked where Sikong Buwang was.
Sikong Ling told Everlasting Love Venerable that Sikong Buwang had been taken to Wuji Town, prompting her to go search for him. When the Fox Gate Master tried to keep Wang Ge for questioning, three Venerables arrived to support her.
The Everlasting Love Venerable refused to let the Thoughtless Sacred Sect judge Sikong Ling, despite a trap accusing her lineage of protecting a disciple who poisoned others. Sikong Ling exposed Bi Xian’s alleged scheme, but the accusation was interrupted when the Extinguishing Love Venerable returned alive and revealed that nearly all the Venerables had died at Wuji Town.
Extinguishing Love Venerable returned, killed the disciples who had twice harmed their fellow disciples, and declared Sikong Buwang innocent before saying he had died. Sikong Jing then appeared at Fox Gate Manor in fiendish-beast form and attacked the remaining Venerables.
Sikong Jing killed the three Thoughtless Sacred Sect Venerables and the Fox Gate Manor Lord, then demanded permission to take Wang Ge to meet him. After Everlasting Love Venerable relented, Sikong Jing carried Sikong Ling away from Ten Thousand Ice City while Extinguishing Love Venerable explained that Sikong Buwang was alive and had summoned the beast.
Sikong Jing said goodbye to Sikong Ling after carrying her around Ten Thousand Ice City, then left her with gifts and instructions to meet again. Back at the Mindless Fox Sect estate, Sikong Ling found Wen Luo mourning Sikong Buwang and gave Everlasting Love Venerable a Green Jade Paper containing the Eternal Night Demon Wolf's meridians.
Everlasting Love Venerable accepted Sikong Buwang’s Green Jade Paper and recognized Sikong Ling as a core disciple under the name Wen Ge, while she and Extinguishing Love Venerable discussed the mysterious humanoid beast and Sikong Buwang’s powerful backers. After the Wuji battle ended, Sikong Jing headed toward Chaos-Shaking City, and the surviving factions considered what might come next.
Sikong Jing recovered from his demonic transformation while traveling toward Chaos-Shaking City and reached Ancient City to catch a shuttle. While waiting for its departure, he discovered that the city square hosted military formation master assessments.
