Jun Yiyao arrived at the ruined Red Wind Battle Command Space Island searching for news, but found its waters strangely empty of powerful sea beasts.

• Sikong Jing interrogated Bai Rengun’s probing team, learned the war’s arrangements, and deduced that Bai Rengun was targeting Divine General Yi Ji.

• Jun Yiyao searched the surrounding waters for sea beasts to question, but found none at the Emperor Martial Stage or above.

Jun Yiyao learned that Sikong Jing had destroyed the Dark Thorn Squad with a Beast Slaughter Array and began to doubt that he had died.

• Bai Shengdai decided to report the intelligence to Bai Rengun himself and left to prepare his troops.
• Sikong Jing approached Bai Shengdai’s mount, intending to use it to follow him to Bai Rengun.

Sikong Jing used three spirit shadows and three demon beasts to pursue separate routes toward Bai Rengun’s forces, aiming to rescue Jun Yiji and contact the Sea-Chasing King. His true body followed Bai Shengdai through a spatial transmission while the other shadows moved toward the Fierce Wind Islands and through the Bai Family’s encirclement.

• Sikong Jing subdued Bai Shengdai’s Long-Furred Winged Eagle with his bloodline powers and threatened it into obedience.
• Bai Shengdai rode Long-Furred Winged Eagle through a spatial transmission, allowing Sikong Jing’s true body to follow and study the mount’s demon power.

• Sikong Jing considered how to make Bai Rengun believe that Jun Yiyao had already joined his side.

As Bai Shengdai rushed to warn Bai Rengun about Jun Yiyao, Sikong Jing used the opportunity to move his plan forward while his allies fought on the Fierce Wind Islands. Jun Yiji and her generals strengthened themselves with Sikong Ding’s Void Energy Crystals just as the defensive formation broke, leaving them to face Bai Rengun in battle.

• Sikong Jing used Jun Yiyao’s name to spur Bai Shengdai into urgently seeking Bai Rengun, while Sikong Jing’s true body and the Long-Furred Winged Eagle followed through a spatial formation.

• Jun Yiji absorbed a medicinal pill and a Void Energy Crystal, advancing from four-step to five-step Yang Extremity Heaven.
• Jun Yiji’s generals broke through as the defensive formation cracked, and she formed the Army-Slaying Formation while Bai Rengun mocked the defenders from outside.

As Bai Rengun attacked Jun Yiji’s forces on the Fierce Wind Islands, Wen Nu secretly sent Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian through a deep pool to safety. Sikong Jing approached the slaughter through Bai Shengdai’s mount while his other spirit shadows advanced toward the Sea-Chasing King’s defenses.

• Sikong Ding joined Jun Yiji’s Army-Slaying Formation, but Wen Nu knocked him unconscious and sent him and Ling Xiaotian into a deep pool to escape.
• Wen Nu returned to Jun Yiji as Bai Rengun’s Golden Seal Army broke through the defensive formation, and Jun Yiji rallied her fighters to battle to the death.

• Sikong Jing saw a dead general still standing among the corpses and sensed that the fighting continued on a distant island.
• Sikong Jing’s beast-form spirit shadow urged Senior Shanhai to hurry, while his demon-form spirit shadow reported that the fighting had opened gaps in the encirclement and the Dark Crow Mystic Feather Beasts were nearing the Sea-Chasing King’s defenses.

Sikong Jing’s demonic-form spirit shadow joined Hai Chongyan and Ying Sanmeng to destroy a Golden Seal Bai Family force, then urged them to summon the Demonic Puppet and support Jun Yiji. The Sea-Chasing King received word that Sikong Jing’s true body and another projection were in the Fierce Wind Islands as he rushed to rescue his younger sister.

• Sikong Jing spotted Hai Chongyan and Ying Sanmeng among Sea-Chasing King’s troops and led the Dark Crow Mystic Feather Beasts in a surprise attack.

• Ying Sanmeng relayed Sikong Jing’s messages through the troops, and the Sea-Chasing King learned that Sikong Jing’s true body and another projection were in the Fierce Wind Islands.

• Bai Shengdai told Bai Rengun that Jing Yuan, Su Yuexian, and possibly Jun Yiyao had helped Sikong Jing kill Bai Renfu.

• Sikong Jing swooped onto the Divine Shuttle Warship on the Long-Furred Winged Eagle and stomped Bai Zhihan into the deck.
• Sikong Jing identified himself and threatened to kill Bai Zhihan unless Bai Rengun immediately called off the assault on Divine General Yiji.

Sikong Jing confronted Bai Rengun and used Bai Zhihan as a hostage to halt the assault on Jun Yiji’s forces. Bai Rengun refused to release Jun Yiji and offered a one-for-one exchange, so Sikong Jing chose Wen Nu; Bai Rengun agreed to lift Wen Nu’s restrictions in return for Bai Zhihan’s spirit shadow.

Sikong Jing exchanged Bai Zhihan for Wen Nu, using the transfer to secretly deliver a storage treasure containing loot to Jun Yiji's forces. The chapter ended with Bai Rengun capturing Sikong Jing as Jun Yiji rescued Wen Nu.

• Sikong Jing freed Wen Nu and offered him a ride back to Jun Yiji on Bai Shengdai's Long-Furred Winged Eagle.

Sikong Jing revealed that he held Jun Guqiao as a hostage and used her life lamp to prove he could retaliate against Bai Rengun. Bai Rengun agreed to another exchange but moved to kill Jun Yiji and his allies first, while Wen Nu produced a storage treasure Sikong Jing had sent him.

• After Bai Rengun threatened Sikong Jing, Sikong Jing revealed that Jun Guqiao was inside the Mountain Sea Crocodile Dragon Beast and linked her life lamp to his own.

• Bai Rengun ordered his forces to slaughter Jun Yiji and personally flew out to lead the attack.
• Wen Nu revealed a tiny storage treasure Sikong Jing had sent him through the Long-Furred Winged Eagle.

Jun Yiji used the supplies Sikong Jing had smuggled to her to prepare for Bai Rengun’s final assault, while Sikong Jing remained bound aboard the Divine Shuttle Warship. As Bai Zhihan moved to torture him, Sikong Jing broke into his Fivefold Demonic Form and called for the approaching Demonic Puppet.

• Jun Yiji took the storage treasure Wen Nu delivered and distributed its Void Energy Crystals, pills, weapons, and formation materials to her forces.

• Sikong Jing sensed the Demonic Puppet approaching, broke some of his restraints by transforming into his Fivefold Demonic Form, and shouted for the puppet to come to him.

Sikong Jing’s true hope of rescuing Jun Yiji was the Demonic Puppet, which he summoned to the Fierce Wind Islands. The Nine-Step Yang Extremity Heaven puppet raced through Golden Seal Bai Family territory despite their spatial turbulence, while Jun Yisui’s army continued advancing.

• Bai Rengun ordered a full-scale attack on Jun Yiji’s defensive formation as Gold Seal powerhouses restrained Sikong Jing.
• The Demonic Puppet appeared before Jun Yisui’s army, ignored a prisoner it was about to kill, and headed for the Fierce Wind Islands after receiving Sikong Jing’s order.

• The magic beast power disrupted the Golden Seal experts and shattered every restraint except the one imposed by the Eighth-Step Yin Extremity Heaven expert.
• Sikong Jing moved while still bound, seized Bai Zhihan by the throat, pinned him beneath his foot, and demanded that the Eighth-Step Yin Extremity Heaven expert remove the remaining restraint.
