Ye Wukui claimed Su Yuexian had fallen into the Holy Tomb Demon Cave and was likely dead, devastating her family. Sikong Jing suspected Ye Wukui was lying and demanded to know whether he had even found her body.
Sikong Jing learned that Su Yuexian had fallen into the Holy Tomb Demon Cave, but Ye Wuzhi’s life lamp confirmed she was still alive. He demanded the tomb’s entry method and cave information, then decided to search for her himself because he did not trust the Ye family.
Sikong Jing left for the Holy Tomb Demon Cave to rescue Ye Yuexian, while Ye Wucan and his allies convinced themselves that his departure was only an act. Ye Wukui secretly ordered the tomb guardians killed to conceal his grandson Ye Lushi’s role in Ye Yuexian’s fall.
Sikong Jing learned that the Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion’s enemy was inside Willow Leaf Holy Manor and continued toward the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb with it. Meanwhile, Leng Chan and Old Xin arrived to negotiate with Ye Wucan as the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall took over the Jade Appraisal Chamber of Commerce.
Su Yuexian inherited Liu Duoye’s power and emerged from the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb at the Emperor Martial Stage, while Pei Chang and Pei Yupo prepared the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s assault on Willow Leaf City. She arrived in time to stop Ye Wukui’s agents from killing the tomb keepers.
Su Yuexian killed the silencing killers, learned why Ye Wukui had ordered them to die, and executed the surviving tomb keepers who had watched Ye Lushi assault her. As she prepared to return to Willow Leaf City, Pei Yupo arrived at the sacred tomb and ordered his powerful confidants to capture her.
Sikong Jing discovered that the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall was secretly assembling to attack the region around Willow Leaf City and sent five warnings and orders to allies. At Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb, Su Yuexian escaped Pei Yupo after he revealed a terrifying ninth-grade battle physique, leaving her injured and uncertain who he was.
Su Yuexian fled Pei Yupo, who had identified her as Su Old Devil’s granddaughter and wanted to capture her alive. Sikong Jing arrived at Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb Gorge, found its people dead, and entered the demon cave after discovering Su Yuexian’s recent footprints.
Sikong Jing followed Su Yuexian’s trail into the sacred tomb and overcame its jade-patterned formation passage. He met Liu Duoye’s consciousness projection and asked where Su Yuexian was.
Sikong Jing discovered that Liu Duoye cared about Su Yuexian, but she mistook his motives and trapped him in a series of challenges. He faced nine trials, with only five hours to solve them before her spirit-image vanished.
Sikong Jing solved all nine Willow Leaf Sacred Wall challenges by using Liu Duoye’s decades of research, then fused their attributes into a new technique. He reached the peak of the Heavenly King Realm and named his perfected limb-restoration skill the Duoye Twelve Seals.
Sikong Jing learned that Su Yuexian had inherited Liu Duoye’s power and was being hunted by Pei Yupo, a Nine-Grade Battle Body. After Liu Duoye sent Sikong Jing out to check on her, Pei Yupo returned to the Holy Tomb with only one trusted subordinate left.
Sikong Jing confronted Pei Yupo and his allies at Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb after learning that Su Yuexian had escaped and Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall was tied to Thousand Kings Holy Tower. He provoked Pei Yupo’s claim of being invincible below the Emperor Martial Stage, and the trusted subordinate challenged Sikong Jing to survive one move.
Sikong Jing defeated Pei Yupo’s trusted man with a flick of his finger and revealed himself as the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce’s Sacred Body. Pei Yupo recognized him as Ba Hun’s inheritor, and Sikong Jing questioned why he was traveling with a woman from the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall.
Pei Yupo challenged Sikong Jing in the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb, claiming he had come to avenge Pei Yuzheng and expose Sikong Jing as a demon. Their first clash ended evenly, but Pei Yupo feared he might lose as Sikong Jing invited him to continue.
Sikong Jing defeated Pei Yupo in their duel, shattering his golden sword and forcing him to admit defeat. Pei Yupo rejected the chance to return and train, ordering Chang Lehuang to kill Sikong Jing instead.
Sikong Jing used the Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion to turn the tables on Pei Yupo and Chang Lehuang, forcing Pei Yupo to flee and recall the forces pursuing Su Yuexian. He then decided he had to die in the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb to keep the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s attack on Willow Leaf City under control.
Sikong Jing fought Chang Lehuang while seeking a way to fake his death and protect Willow Leaf City from Thousand Kings Holy Tower’s plot. He persuaded Ancestor Liu Duoye to help him stage his death inside the Sacred Tomb, then returned to the battle and called on Black Hell’s Heaven-Devouring Hammer.
Sikong Jing fought Chang Lehuang inside the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb while Pei Yupo summoned Pei Chang to destroy the tomb. Chang Lehuang was wounded and retreated to seal the gorge, claiming her people had arrived, while Su Yuexian received Sikong Jing’s warning and stayed away.
Chang Lehuang sealed Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb Gorge with tens of thousands of pursuers while Pei Yupo awaited Pei Chang, a Saint Martial Stage expert, to destroy the tomb. Sikong Jing retreated inside and joined Liu Duoye in preparing decoy corpses to fake his death.
Sikong Jing and Liu Duoye escaped the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb underground as Pei Chang arrived and destroyed the tomb with a powerful strike. The Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion carried them beyond the gorge just before the formation shattered.
Sikong Jing and Liu Duoye escaped the destruction of the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb while Su Yuexian fled and vowed revenge. Pei Yupo’s forces believed their enemies were dead and left for Willow Leaf City, where Ye Wucan sensed the Saint Martial aura.
Ye Wucan and the other factions received reports of a cataclysm at the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb, while Sikong Jing spoke with the dying Liu Duoye in safety. Liu Duoye revealed that the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall came from the Boundless Sea and explained that the Central Plains was only one part of that vast realm.
After bidding farewell to Liu Duoye, Sikong Jing set out for Reverse Blade City with the evolving Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion, planning to return to Willow Leaf City afterward. Meanwhile, the Willow Leaf Holy Manor panicked over the destruction of the Sacred Tomb and received word that Ba Hun's successor was dead.
Ye Wucan tried to conceal Sikong Jing’s supposed death and trap the Heavenly Tyrant Branch in Willow Leaf City, hoping to bind it to Willow Leaf Holy Manor against Dragon Controlling Mountain. Leng Sha then received Sikong Jing’s message that he was safe, but kept the news secret.
