Chapter Summaries

Sikong Jing and Teng Yue were caught between Red Wind Sect elders Red Mountain and Joy Soul, who each tried to claim them. Sikong Jing insisted on first meeting Elder Hong Rong, but Tutu outmaneuvered Le Xiao and carried Twelve Leopard away.

• Le Xiao arrived and demanded that Sikong Jing and Teng Yue come meet her mother, Elder Joy Soul, while Tutu insisted they first meet Elder Red Mountain.
• Sikong Jing said he would go with Bao Jiusu and first pay a visit to Elder Hong Rong, whose faction Bao Jiusu followed.
• Tutu and Le Xiao threatened Sikong Jing with danger from Eight Steeds Linked Camp Island if he refused to meet their elders first.
• Tutu feinted an attack toward Sikong Jing, then redirected his power and swept Twelve Leopard away.

Sikong Jing was separated from Twelve Leopard when Tutu took him away, while Le Xiao brought Sikong Jing to Elder Le Hun on the Red Wind Continent. Elder Le Hun offered to protect Teng Yue’s journey to Heaven Seal Academy under conditions that included joining the Red Wind Sect and becoming Princess Fennel’s prince consort.

• Tutu captured Twelve Leopard and left with him, while Le Xiao took Sikong Jing away from Red Wind Market Island.
• Bao Jiusu sent word to the family to notify Elder Hong Rong as bystanders speculated that the Red Wind Sect would demand Teng Yue become Princess Fennel’s prince consort.
• Le Xiao brought Sikong Jing to the Le Hun palace complex on the Red Wind Continent after Elder Le Hun requested to meet him.
• Elder Le Hun asked who held authority between Sikong Jing and Teng Yue, and Sikong Jing said he had the final say on major matters.
• Le Xiao told Sikong Jing that Elder Le Hun’s conditions were for Teng Yue to join the Red Wind Sect as her disciple and win Princess Fennel’s favor to become her prince consort.

Sikong Jing faced Joy Soul and Le Xiao’s demands for the Cangyu Demon Sect’s treasures and explained the sect’s rise as the result of demon-folk inheritance and Grandpa Bahun’s legacy. He handed over the Demonic Battle Heaven-Constant Art, leaving Joy Soul and Le Xiao angry when they discovered it was a low-grade divine-rank technique they could not use.

• Le Xiao demanded an explanation for the Cangyu Demon Sect’s sudden rise and required Sikong Jing to surrender its treasures to Joy Soul.
• Sikong Jing said he had received an inheritance belonging to the demon folk and denied that he had obtained other treasures or caused Teng Yue and Ying Sanmeng’s improved combat strength.
• When Le Xiao threatened him, Sikong Jing attributed Teng Yue and Ying Sanmeng’s strength to what Grandpa Bahun had left them.
• Joy Soul ordered Sikong Jing to hand over his treasure, and he gave Le Xiao an ancient Green Jade Stone Brick containing the Demonic Battle Heaven-Constant Art.
• Joy Soul and Le Xiao discovered that the technique was only low-grade divine rank, while Sikong Jing explained that it could help demonfolk shed their alien human attributes.

Sikong Jing let Le Xiao inspect his storage stone, then agreed to Joy Soul's demands while explaining that he could not force Teng Yue to accept them. Joy Soul ordered him taken to Elder Red Mountain, where Twelve Leopard faced similar conditions.

• Sikong Jing let Le Xiao search his storage stone, but she found nothing valuable to the Red Wind Sect.
• Sikong Jing told Joy Soul that she could interrogate him, then argued that the Red Wind Sect had no reason to kill him while Jun Yiji still needed his help.
• Sikong Jing agreed to Joy Soul's first two conditions but said he could not make Teng Yue become Le Xiao's disciple or win Princess Fennel's favor.
• Joy Soul ordered Le Xiao to take Sikong Jing to Elder Red Mountain so they could use him to pressure Teng Yue.
• Elder Red Mountain and Tutu told Twelve Leopard to become Red Mountain's disciple, win back Princess Fennel's favor, and hand over his treasure.

Twelve Leopard refused to decide whether to accept Elder Red Mountain’s conditions, insisting that Sikong Jing had the final say, while Sikong Jing remained in Elder Joy Soul’s custody. The elders gathered at Sovereign Mountain to settle the dispute, where Red Rong introduced himself to Sikong Jing.

• Twelve Leopard resisted Elder Red Mountain and Tutu’s pressure, refusing to become Princess Fennel’s consort and directing them to Sikong Jing for other decisions.
• Elder Red Mountain and Joy Soul repeatedly missed each other while searching for their captives, then blamed and cursed each other across the Red Wind Continent.
• Elder Red Rong summoned Red Mountain and Joy Soul to Sovereign Mountain to discuss the Cangyu Demon Sect’s people, and the Eight Steeds spies spread reports of the dispute.
• Joy Soul threatened Sikong Jing into persuading Teng Yue to become her disciple, while Red Mountain threatened Twelve Leopard unless Sikong Jing accepted his conditions.
• The elders brought Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard to the Sovereign Hall, where Red Rong introduced himself to Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing negotiated with Red Mountain, Joy Soul, and Red Rong over Teng Yue’s discipleship, refusing to let him leave the Cangyu Demon Sect or take any of them as his master. The elders rejected his terms, and Le Xiao threatened to kill Sikong Jing unless Teng Yue joined the Red Wind Sect.

• Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard reunited with Red Mountain, Joy Soul, and Red Rong, who each wanted Teng Yue as a disciple.
• Sikong Jing said Teng Yue could call one of the elders Master but would remain a Cangyu Demon Sect disciple, and all three elders rejected the arrangement.
• Red Mountain and Red Rong accused Sikong Jing of trying to exploit their rivalry and insisted Teng Yue must join the Red Wind Sect and sever ties with his sect.
• Sikong Jing refused to let Teng Yue take any of the elders as his master.
• Le Xiao threatened to kill Sikong Jing unless Teng Yue took Joy Soul as his master and joined the Red Wind Sect.

Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard challenged the Red Wind Sect elders’ coercive demands, insisting they would rather die than submit willingly. The elders remained divided over Teng Yue’s choice of master, and the confrontation ended with Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard daring them to kill them.

• Le Xiao threatened the Cangyu Demon Young Sect Master, but Red Rong and Red Mountain set the threat aside to discuss the second condition.
• Twelve Leopard refused to become Princess Fennel’s consort, then said he would agree only to protect Sikong Jing and would secretly oppose the Red Wind Sect.
• Sikong Jing said he and Twelve Leopard had come to seek the Red Wind Sect’s assistance and would leave if their offer was refused.
• Red Rong claimed the weaker Cangyu Demon had no standing to negotiate as an equal and must accept whatever the Red Wind Sect demanded.
• When Red Rong again asked whom Teng Yue would choose as his master, Sikong Jing asked Twelve Leopard if he feared death; both said they would die together in the Red Wind Sect.

Sikong Jing refused to offer further concessions to the Red Wind Sect, so its elders sent him and Twelve Leopard to Blood Evil Valley to force them to accept the sect’s conditions. As Tutu and Le Xiao brought them to the valley, Le Xiao asked whether they wanted to know what lay inside.

• Twelve Leopard offered to agree to anything to protect Sikong Jing and the Cangyu Demon Sect, but Sikong Jing stayed defiant.
• Elder Red Mountain asked Sikong Jing what sincerity he could offer, and Sikong Jing cited the Demonic Battle Heaven-Constant Art Green Jade Stone Brick he had already given Elder Joy Soul before refusing to offer anything more.
• The Red Wind Sect elders ordered Tutu and Le Xiao to throw Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard into Blood Evil Valley and question them every five days until they accepted the conditions.
• Elder Red Rong warned Sikong Jing that he had at most one month before he needed to leave for Heaven Seal Academy, and the elders discussed how long he might survive in the valley.
• Tutu and Le Xiao took Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard to Blood Evil Valley, where Le Xiao asked if they wanted to know what was inside.

Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard were imprisoned in Blood Evil Valley, where Sikong Jing explained that their mission at the Red Wind Sect was to buy time for the real Teng Yue. The valley’s illusions began tormenting Twelve Leopard, and Sikong Jing broke them, leaving him to realize what he had seen was fake.

• Le Xiao threw Sikong Jing into Blood Evil Valley, and Tutu threw Twelve Leopard in after him before the two fought.
• Sikong Jing told Twelve Leopard that they had come to delay the Red Wind Sect and draw attention away while the real Teng Yue reached Heaven Seal Academy.
• Twelve Leopard saw a snake wrapped around Sikong Jing and attacked it, but Sikong Jing saw no snake and its supposed corpse vanished.
• Twelve Leopard began seeing bugs crawling over him, while Sikong Jing initially saw nothing and then shattered the illusion with his spirit shadow.
• Sikong Jing jolted Twelve Leopard’s mind and told him to steady himself, causing the bugs to vanish as Twelve Leopard realized they were illusions.

Sikong Jing guided Twelve Leopard through Blood Evil Valley, where illusions and real dangers left him struggling to tell them apart. After Sikong Jing killed a giant illusion-controlling insect, Le Xiao revealed that the first trial had only begun and gave them five days before she would demand an answer.

• Twelve Leopard felt guilty about being fooled by the valley’s illusions, and Sikong Jing promised to help him grow strong enough to match Teng Yue.
• A woman’s voice and visions of insects confused Twelve Leopard, until Sikong Jing warned him that the second insect swarm was real and Twelve Leopard fought it off.
• Sikong Jing identified an illusion-making demonic beast insect and led Twelve Leopard to its hiding place, then destroyed the giant insect despite its pleas.
• Le Xiao appeared above them, praised them for passing the first trial, and warned that worse trials would follow before she returned in five days.
• Tutu pursued Le Xiao, who left Blood Evil Valley to fight her, while Twelve Leopard admitted he had nearly exposed himself and asked Sikong Jing what they should do next.

Sikong Jing led Twelve Leopard through Blood Evil Valley, overcoming its dangers while training him and discovering that a powerful being controlled the strange bugs. They ventured deeper to find out what that being was, despite the threat of a formidable ferocious beast lurking there.

• Sikong Jing told Twelve Leopard that he could handle the valley’s monstrous insects but warned that a powerful ferocious beast lurked in its depths.
• Sikong Jing guided Twelve Leopard through Blood Evil Valley, defeating its dangers and letting him face some of them to improve his strength.
• Le Xiao and Tutu returned to where Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard had been, spotted them near stronger insects, and left, expecting them to flee in terror.
• Sikong Jing used the insects’ illusion techniques against a strange centipede, which died of fright, and explained his trick to Twelve Leopard.
• Sikong Jing concluded that a terrifying existence was controlling and enhancing the strange bugs, then continued deeper into Blood Evil Valley with Twelve Leopard.

Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard ventured deeper into Blood Evil Valley, where Sikong Jing discovered the valley was formed from the remains of the Blood Silence Fierce Python, a fallen friend of the beasts imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison. He promised to find and awaken its lingering consciousness, but sensed people near the python’s skull.

• Chai Jiu learned that Sikong Jing and Teng Yue had been sent into Blood Evil Valley and planned to wait nearby so he could assassinate them when they emerged.
• A man sent by Jun Yiji observed events at the Red Wind Market and decided to search for the Red Wind Old Monster.
• Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard advanced deeper into Blood Evil Valley as its monsters grew more terrifying, and Sikong Jing confirmed the presence was not a living creature.
• Nether Lotus Fierce Serpent identified the bones as those of the Blood Silence Fierce Python, its friend who had died fighting the Five Heavenly Emperors.
• Sikong Jing promised to find the python’s lingering consciousness and followed its enormous skeleton toward its head.
• As Sikong Jing neared the python’s skull, he sensed people and told Twelve Leopard to hide.

Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard hid near the Blood Silence Fierce Python’s skull and overheard Red Wind Old Monster discussing his mission to capture its twisted Spirit Shadow with an Imperial Envoy of the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor. When the envoy sensed someone nearby, he attacked a third person in the blood mist, who emerged as a formidable middle-aged warrior.

• Sikong Jing concealed himself and Twelve Leopard in the strange insects’ aura after sensing someone at the Blood Silence Fierce Python’s skull.
• Red Wind Old Monster appeared and addressed a second figure as the Imperial Envoy, revealing that he was trying to subdue the python’s twisted Spirit Shadow.
• The Imperial Envoy gave Red Wind Old Monster one year to complete the mission and threatened to destroy the Red Wind Sect if he failed.
• Red Wind Old Monster asked when he could meet the Flame Prison Heavenly Emperor, and the Imperial Envoy said he would have to finish the task first.
• The Imperial Envoy sensed another presence and attacked through the blood mist, revealing a third Super God Martial cultivator who looked like a battle-hardened general.

Sikong Jing watched the Imperial Envoy and Red Wind Old Monster corner a hidden Seal Sovereign Empire battle general, then decided to create a distraction by damaging the formations binding the Blood Silence Fierce Python's spirit shadow. He struck one corner of the formation, hoping to draw the attackers away and give the battle general a chance to escape.

• The spear-wielding middle-aged man revealed that he was from the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family, but the Imperial Envoy and Red Wind Old Monster rejected his claim and attacked him.
• Sikong Jing pulled Twelve Leopard deeper underground to shield him from the battle's aftershocks, then decided to intervene despite being too weak to fight the Super God Martial experts directly.
• The Imperial Envoy recognized the middle-aged man as a war general of the Seal Sovereign Empire and ordered Red Wind Old Monster to help silence him, promising to cover up his death.
• Sikong Jing entered the Blood Silence Fierce Python's skull and saw its spirit shadow bound by formations, with a bead poised to collect it.
• Sikong Jing decided to damage the formation to provoke a disturbance and draw the Imperial Envoy and Red Wind Old Monster away from the battle general.
• Sikong Jing transformed into a strange insect and slammed into one corner of the formation.

Sikong Jing sabotaged Red Wind Old Monster’s formation, triggering a crisis that let the Seal Sovereign War General escape briefly before the Imperial Envoy killed his body. The War General’s spirit shadow was swallowed by a strange insect, where it encountered Sikong Jing as the chapter ended.

• Sikong Jing shattered a corner of the formation and left strange insect corpses to make the damage look like the insects had caused it.
• Red Wind Old Monster discovered the breach and rushed to repair it as Blood Silence Fierce Python’s spirit shadow battered the formation.
• The Seal Sovereign War General broke free from the Imperial Envoy’s attack, but the Imperial Envoy blasted his body to death.
• A strange insect swallowed the War General’s fleeing spirit shadow, and the Imperial Envoy went to help Red Wind Old Monster suppress Blood Silence Fierce Python.
• Inside the insect, the War General lamented his bad luck, and Sikong Jing calmly pointed out that he had brought the trouble on himself.

Sikong Jing revealed that he had secretly rescued Luo Guangmang by controlling two monstrous insects to carry Luo Guangmang’s spirit shadow and body. After reuniting them, he asked Luo Guangmang to see whether he could survive, leaving Luo Guangmang attempting to return to his ruined body.

• Sikong Jing emerged from a monstrous insect and revealed himself to Luo Guangmang, who was stunned to see the Young Sect Master of Cangyu Demon.
• Sikong Jing explained that he had caused the disruption inside the ferocious python skull and controlled an insect to swallow Luo Guangmang’s spirit shadow, tricking the Imperial Envoy into thinking Luo Guangmang was dead.
• Sikong Jing told Luo Guangmang that another insect carried his body and that his survival depended on whether he could return to it.
• Twelve Leopard brought Luo Guangmang’s badly damaged body into the insect carrying Sikong Jing and his spirit shadow.
• Luo Guangmang said he would try, then slammed his spirit shadow back into his ruined body.

Sikong Jing used the Multi-Leaf Seal’s immense life force to save Luo Guangmang, who had been left near death after his body was destroyed. Luo Guangmang survived but needed months to recover, leaving Sikong Jing’s idea of ambushing the Red Wind Old Monster without his help.

• Sikong Jing retrieved his demonic spirit shadow, which destroyed the spiritual platform and sea of consciousness of the monster insect it had controlled.
• Luo Guangmang emerged from his ruined body and said that only immense life force could give him a chance to survive.
• Sikong Jing used the Multi-Leaf Seal to infuse Luo Guangmang’s body with life force, and Luo Guangmang merged his spirit shadow with his body.
• After half a day, Luo Guangmang woke and learned that Sikong Jing had comprehended the life-force technique from a million-year-old willow tree in his homeland.
• Luo Guangmang said he would need ten days to half a month before he could move and at least three months to recover fully.
• Sikong Jing explained that he had considered ambushing the Red Wind Old Monster, but Luo Guangmang urged him to abandon the matter.

Sikong Jing learned that the imperial envoy might belong to the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family, while Luo Guangmang warned that the Seal Sovereign Empire would likely avoid intervening. After hiding Luo in Blood Evil Valley and deciding to delay his breakthrough, Sikong Jing faced Tutu and Le Xiao, who demanded his answer.

• Luo Guangmang said the imperial envoy was likely connected to the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family, so the Seal Sovereign Empire might suppress the matter rather than act.
• Sikong Jing concealed his own Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family bloodline and considered whether Luo Guangmang's grudge could help him find his parents.
• Sikong Jing declined Luo Guangmang's offer to help bring Teng Yue to Heaven Seal Academy, preferring to preserve the favor Luo owed him.
• Sikong Jing returned with Luo Guangmang to their original position in Blood Evil Valley, hid him in an underground cave, and destroyed the strange insect's spirit platform and sea of consciousness.
• Sikong Jing concluded that he needed to grow stronger and postponed his Saint Martial breakthrough until he obtained a Divine Martial demonic beast meridian.
• Tutu and Le Xiao appeared above Sikong Jing after five days, and Le Xiao demanded his answer.

Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard endured the next stage of Blood Evil Valley while Luo Guangmang recovered, as chaos over a Five-Seal War General’s supposed death delayed their interrogators. After Luo Guangmang emerged from the cave, Sikong Jing asked him to help Twelve Leopard pass as Teng Yue, saying Teng Yue’s side should now be safe.

• Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard refused to yield when Tutu and Le Xiao questioned them, and Sikong Jing continued cultivating and training Twelve Leopard while Luo Guangmang recovered.
• Sikong Jing deliberately let the monster insects make their surroundings appear chaotic, but Tutu and Le Xiao missed their next visit as the Red Wind Sea Region dealt with a Five-Seal War General’s death.
• Three days later, Tutu and Le Xiao said the War General had supposedly been killed by assassins from the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom, then left after Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard again refused to compromise.
• Luo Guangmang emerged from the cave, explained that Jun Yiji would secretly search for him while publicly treating him as dead, and said he would contact her after recovering further.
• Luo Guangmang noticed that Twelve Leopard did not resemble the legendary Teng Yue, so Sikong Jing asked him to guide Twelve Leopard and assured him that Teng Yue’s side should be safe.

After a month of refusing to compromise, Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard were being taken to negotiate with the Red Wind Sect when Chai Jiu ambushed them. Chai Jiu tried to seize the Cangyu Demon inheritances, but Luo Guangmang emerged from Blood Evil Valley as a Super Godly Warrior.

• Luo Guangmang agreed to guide Twelve Leopard, who soon reached the realm of a top-tier Emperor Martial Emperor.
• Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard continued refusing the Red Wind Sect's demands through a month of negotiations, forcing Elder Red Mountain to call them in for talks.
• As Le Xiao carried Sikong Jing from Blood Evil Valley, Sikong Jing sensed an assassination and warned everyone.
• A masked Chai Jiu stabbed Tutu and Le Xiao, knocked them unconscious, and revealed that he intended to take Sikong Jing and Twelve Leopard for their inheritances.
• Sikong Jing warned Chai Jiu that death was near, and Luo Guangmang emerged from Blood Evil Valley, making Chai Jiu recognize a Super Godly Warrior.
