Meanwhile, a wager battle between the Shadow Moon Demon Rat and Demon-Slaying Young Master was underway in the Sword-Slaying Ruins, where the Sea-Refining Emperor revealed that Demon-Slaying Hall had taken a bounty to kill Yu Xianpo.

• The Sea-Refining Emperor said Demon-Slaying Hall had accepted the Spirit Race’s bounty to kill Yu Xianpo.

• Hang Kui appeared at Beast Venerable Hall and identified the old master of the Peerless Pill Pavilion as the Absolute Pill Emperor, one of the Ancient Ten Absolutes.
• Hang Kui dismissed claims that the Ancient Ten Absolutes planned to destroy the Vast Cosmos Great World and identified the Purple Qi Emperor as the feared Mystic Jade Emperor.

• Ling Long called on the gathered factions to wipe out everyone from the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm, targeting Sikong Jing.

Several dozen geniuses sided with Sikong Jing, splitting the crowd over whether to kill the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm’s people. Hang Kui’s attempt to track Sikong Jing failed, so he announced a new way to force him out by targeting the Feather Alliance Hall members in Swordkill City.

• Tao Qi, Wu Ding, Dugu Fanhua, and other geniuses defended Sikong Jing, arguing that the Absolute Beast Emperor had tried to silence witnesses and might be conspiring.
• Hang Kui proposed finding Sikong Jing to determine whether he possessed Xuan Yu’s inheritance, then used the Beast Venerable Young Master’s shattered life lamp with a Demon-Slaying Hall tracking compass.
• Sikong Jing, disguised as Ou Jin, sensed the search and concealed the Beast Venerable Young Master’s essence blood, then sent Black Tiger toward Swordwalk Forbidden Domain with a signal pearl.
• The tracking compass failed to reveal Sikong Jing, and Hang Kui concluded that he had either avoided the essence blood or left the area.
• Hang Kui told the Spirit Race and Beast Venerable Hall that the Feather Alliance Hall members were in Swordkill City.

The factions raced toward Swordkill City to force Sikong Jing to explain the Ancient Ten Absolutes and the Purple Qi Emperor, while Sikong Jing learned that the Feather Alliance Hall was in danger.

• Sikong Jing contacted the Feather Transformation Emperor and learned that Yu Xianpo had entered the Sword-Slaying Ruins, leaving the Feather Alliance Hall without a powerful protector.
• Sikong Jing contacted Spirit Parrot, who reported that Ling E had entered the ruins with the Demon-Slaying Hall.
• Sikong Jing ordered Spirit Parrot to find Yu Xianpo and tell him that the Demon-Slaying Hall’s Second Hall Master had left the ruins, so he could escape and protect the Feather Alliance Hall.
• Sikong Jing concluded that Yu Xianpo faced only ordinary assassins now, but the factions would still target the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm unless the Purple Qi Emperor’s identity was disproven, and he hurried toward Swordkill City.

The Feather Alliance Hall entered the Sword-Slaying Ruins to escape a wave of suppression, while Yu Xianpo learned that Hang Kui had been behind the assassination attempt on him. Yu Xianpo intervened when Ling Long and Purple Lion attacked, but Hang Kui then declared that Sikong Jing had become the public enemy after killing the Beast Venerable Young Master.

• Feather Transformation Emperor, Stinging Bee, and Sword Tiger led the Feather Alliance Hall into the Sword-Slaying Ruins, breaking through the factions in Swordkill City.

• A Celestial Race elder told Yu Xianpo that the factions would protect the Feather Alliance Hall only temporarily unless Sikong Jing appeared to explain the situation.
• Hang Kui gave the Feather Alliance Hall another quarter-hour to summon Sikong Jing, while the Celestial Race and other factions agreed to stand aside afterward.
• When the Spirit Race and Beast Venerable Hall prepared to attack, Sikong Jing emerged from the Sword-Slaying Ruins and joined Yu Xianpo.
• Sikong Jing interrupted Purple Lion, Ling Long, and Hua Baixiong as they accused him, insisting that they had no proof the Purple Qi Emperor was Mystic Jade Emperor.
• Sikong Jing told the Celestial Race elder and the other powers that he did not know the Purple Qi Emperor's identity but was certain he was not Mystic Jade Emperor.

Sikong Jing turned the demand to inspect him back on Hang Kui, accusing the Demon-Slaying Second Hall Master of hiding the Absolute Beast Emperor in his sea of consciousness. The crowd shifted its suspicion toward Hang Kui, who refused to submit to an inspection.

• Hang Kui and the other powerhouses demanded that Sikong Jing open himself to inspection, but Sikong Jing refused and asked why they should not be inspected too.
• Hang Kui threatened to kill everyone in Sikong Jing’s Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm unless Sikong Jing complied, while the Absolute Beast Emperor urged Hang Kui to seize Sikong Jing’s body.
• Sikong Jing agreed to open himself only if Hang Kui opened his sea of consciousness, accusing him of harboring the Absolute Beast Emperor’s phantom.
• Sikong Jing cited Hang Kui’s departure from Yu Xianpo’s assassination attempt and his intervention for the Ancient Ten Absolutes, and Yu Xianpo backed the accusation with his own account.
• Tao Qi, Wu Ding, and Dugu Fanhua also demanded that Hang Kui open his sea of consciousness, but Hang Kui refused.
• Yu Xianpo drew on his sword intent, and the Frost God Hall, Martial Excellence Hall, Celestial Race, and others turned their demands for proof toward Hang Kui.

• Hang Kui offered to open his spirit platform and sea of consciousness for inspection after Sikong Jing was dealt with, while Linglong backed that plan.
• The gathered factions split their forces, with the Spirit Race and Beast Venerable Hall moving against Sikong Jing and the Feather Alliance Hall as the Celestial Race and others surrounded Hang Kui.
• Black Tiger arrived and blasted Purple Lion, Linglong, and their allies away before threatening to fight to the death to protect the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
• Black Tiger rejected Purple Lion's accusations against Sikong Jing and tore Purple Lion's body in half, leaving it badly weakened after it re-formed.
• Purple Lion urged the humans and beasts to charge Black Tiger, but the others continued retreating and refused to follow.

Black Tiger and Yu Xianpo confronted Hang Kui, who threatened the Shadow Moon Demon Rat to force Sikong Jing to submit to inspection. When Sikong Jing accepted, the gathered experts discovered that he was the Shadow Moon Demon Rat in disguise, exposing Ling E’s claim that the Rat had been captured.

• Black Tiger arrived to support Yu Xianpo, but Ling E threatened that the Shadow Moon Demon Rat would die unless Black Tiger calmed down.
• Hang Kui demanded that Sikong Jing reveal his entire body for inspection, claiming he would then allow the others to examine his spirit platform consciousness sea.
• Sikong Jing agreed to the inspection to save the Shadow Moon Demon Rat, surprising Hang Kui and the Absolute Beast Emperor.
• The experts sensed a Magic Beast scent on Sikong Jing and recognized the scent of a Shadow Moon Rat.
• Sikong Jing revealed himself as the Shadow Moon Demon Rat and challenged Ling E’s claim that he was trapped in Flowing Sword River.

Sikong Jing revealed that his Shadow Moon Demon Rat body had impersonated him while his true body prepared to prove he was not Mystic Jade Emperor’s successor. After experts failed to find Mystic Jade Emperor’s aura on him, Sikong Jing turned the scrutiny toward Demon-Slaying Second Hall Master Hang Kui.

• Sikong Jing’s Demon Rat body explained that it had impersonated him while the real Sikong Jing dealt with Zong Zhanhao’s blood essence, and Sikong Jing then entered the Sword-Slaying Ruins.
• Sikong Jing explained how his Demon Rat body had bought time for him to conceal his Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts bloodline and prepare his proof.
• Sikong Jing unleashed a modified Purple Qi Swallow Strike fused with the Nine Heavens Sword Dao, and the Spirit Race experts’ reactions showed that it lacked Mystic Jade Emperor’s sword aura.
• The experts inspected Sikong Jing and detected only his Magic Beast bloodline, while Tao Qi explained how he had gained it.
• Sikong Jing stood beside Black Tiger and Yu Xianpo, challenged the factions to justify targeting him after the inspection, and demanded that they inspect Hang Kui instead.

The Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion rescued Hang Kui before the assembled factions could inspect him, then promised to explain the Ancient Ten Absolutes at the Peerless Pill Pavilion. As the factions gathered in Swordkill City and prepared for the Swordwalk Small World to open, purple flames appeared above the city, signaling the Lion’s return.

• The Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion descended in a meteorite of flame, seized Hang Kui, and escaped through the Sword-Slaying Ruins after sword currents repelled the pursuers.
• Sikong Jing accused the factions of abandoning the chance to investigate the Absolute Beast Emperor in order to target him, and Black Tiger warned them they would regret it.

• The factions moved to Swordkill City, contacted their leaders, and discussed the Ancient Ten Absolutes while news of the events spread across the Swordwalk Forbidden Domain.
• Purple flames appeared above Swordkill City as the Swordwalk Small World’s realm gate was about to open, and the Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion arrived again.

The Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion attacked the Ten Thousand Demon Hall and demanded that Black Tiger surrender the Shadow Moon Demon Rat. The Celestial Race and other powers evacuated Sikong Jing and his allies, leaving the demon-rat body and Sword Tiger Demon Emperor to face Zheng Lunji.

• The Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion overpowered Black Tiger and Yu Xianpo, threatening to destroy the Black Prison Heaven-Swallowing Tiger clan unless they handed over the Shadow Moon Demon Rat.
• Zheng Lunji attacked the Feather Alliance Hall, while the Celestial Race elder initially refused Tao Qi's plea to help the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
• The Celestial Race elder intervened to protect the Feather Alliance Hall, and the Celestial Race, Frost God Hall, and Martial Excellence Hall carried Sikong Jing and the others away.
