Chapter Summaries

Sikong Jing tried and failed to save a Seal Sovereign Empire youth infected by the formless evil Baleful Intent, while Fire Lockfeng withheld the Green Leaf Divine Intent Tree until after the danger was revealed. As the youth asked Sikong Jing to kill him, Sikong Jing thought of trying his yin-spirit evil aura.

• A Yi warned Sikong Jing that anyone infected by the Burial Emperor’s strange power had to be killed, but Sikong Jing carried the afflicted youth away to seek a cure.
• Sikong Jing tried spirit-shadow power, true energy, Nine Heavens Sword Intent, the Blood Devour Magic Beast’s will, and his demon blood, but none could stop the youth’s body from deforming.
• The Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger explained that the formless force was called an evil bane and that Fire Lockfeng likely possessed a protective treasure.
• Sikong Jing told the youth to write his last words, and the young man pleaded for a quick death as the Seal Sovereign Empire’s people watched.
• Fire Lockfeng revealed the Green Leaf Divine Intent Tree, which protected those nearby from most evil Baleful Intent, and offered an excuse for not using it sooner.
• As the youth handed Sikong Jing his last words and again begged to be killed, Sikong Jing formed a strand of yin-spirit evil aura and decided to try it.

Sikong Jing discovered that yin spirit evil energy could expel evil baleful energy, saving a newly infected young man and giving Fire Lockfeng's group an advantage in the Burial Emperor Tomb. As the party approached the former Burial Emperor Sea, Sikong Jing worried that his dwindling supply of yin-spirit evil qi would not last through the greater dangers ahead.

• Fire Lockfeng ordered Sikong Jing to save Green Leaf Palace’s arrivals, but Sikong Jing showed him the nearly depleted yin spirit evil aura and warned that it could save only two more people.
• An afflicted Azure Fire General challenged Sikong Jing’s claim that the aura was nearly gone.

Sikong Jing secretly rescued Master Xie from the ghostly evil aura and hid with him beneath a boulder on the Double Bone Continent.
