Sikong Jing advanced his Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation, honored the Qianyuan War Emperor and Ancestor Liu Duoye at the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, and promised to return and open its gate.

• Madam Raccoon told Pei Yusheng that she had been a low-ranking member of the hunt for the Sikong couple and hoped that capturing Sikong Jing would earn her a reward in the Boundless Sea.
