Chapter Summaries

Sikong Jing faced Pei Yuzheng in a life-or-death crisis, and the Yao Residence people arrived to stand with him. As supporters rushed to his side, the factions left at the Sacred Flag prepared to fight over it, while Yao Yulou watched the confrontation from afar.

Yao Yulou began fighting Nether Protector Venerable and two Eastern Tyrant experts while Sikong Jing waited with the Yao Residence forces for Pei Yuzheng to arrive. After Pei Yuzheng openly declared that the Thousand Kings Holy Tower could rule as it pleased, Sikong Jing challenged the people of Chaos-Shaking City to stop remaining silent.

• Sikong Jing stepped in front of Hua Meixi and asked the people of Chaos-Shaking City whether they would keep silent, but Pei Yuzheng mocked his attempt to rally them.

Sikong Jing spread his Army-Slaying Formation across Shaking One District and invited its people to secretly connect to it, promising to bear the consequences of killing Pei Yuzheng alone. The formation erupted after people began linking to it, and the fight was about to begin.

The other factions attacked the Eastern Tyrant Branch and the Ten Thousand Herbs Holy Sect as the scramble for flags began.

After the District-Seizing War ended, Sikong Jing became famous, while the Thousand Kings Holy Tower plotted to kill him during the Weapon Formation Masters' showdown. Though Gong Ying planned to hold East Tyrant Courtyard until Tyrant Fierce arrived, Sikong Jing ordered the Yao Residence to leave Chaos-Shaking City that night.

• Chang Ao announced that the Weapon Formation Masters' showdown would take place the following morning, and secretly planned to trap Sikong Jing and seize the Tyrant Soul Inheritance.
• Spectators debated Sikong Jing's strength and feared the Thousand Kings Holy Tower would kill him despite his victory.

• The Yao Residence celebrated Sikong Jing's victory, but Sikong Jing stopped the festivities and ordered everyone to pack and leave Chaos-Shaking City that night.

Sikong Jing decided that the Yao Residence would leave Chaos-Shaking City before rival factions could seize him and the Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation. He planned to stay behind alone to claim their territory and draw attention away from the departing group, while Tyrant Lotus Venerable secretly prevented Duanmu Chun from revealing her presence.

• Sikong Jing warned that factions might capture him to monopolize the formation, so the Yao Residence had to leave at once and reach the Tyrant Heaven General Headquarters.
• Sikong Jing ruled out the third formation master showdown because Chang Ao belonged to the Thousand Kings Holy Tower and could set a trap for him.
• Sikong Jing planned to choose their territory before the showdown, then remain in Chaos-Shaking City alone while the others escaped overnight.
• Duanmu Chun offered to stay behind instead, but Sikong Jing argued that his appearance at the showdown would keep the factions focused on him and help the others leave safely.
• Duanmu Chun began to suggest they could rely on someone to hold the fort, but Tyrant Lotus Venerable appeared and stopped him before he could reveal her existence to Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing and Yao Yulou realized Tyrant Lotus Venerable was secretly protecting them, though she insisted on remaining hidden and testing Sikong Jing. As the Yao Residence prepared to leave Chaos-Shaking City, Sikong Jing promised to free Yao Yulou and Aunt Jiang from their control, while Tyrant Lotus Venerable planned to learn the truth about Tyrant Soul Venerable from Sikong Jing.

Tyrant Lotus Venerable explained the danger facing Sikong Jing and arranged for the Yao Residence to leave Chaos-Shaking City while he stayed behind with allies to mislead their pursuers. The next morning, Sikong Jing arrived alone at the Weapon Formation Masters Guild for the contest, where the gathered crowd watched him closely.

• Tyrant Lotus Venerable told Duanmu Chun that the Golden Tiger Emperor and other eastern Central Plains powers wanted to capture Sikong Jing, and promised to protect him while concealing her strength from the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
• The Yao Residence secretly departed Chaos-Shaking City, while Sikong Jing, Old Xiu, Master Wuji, and other allies stayed behind and pretended to celebrate so investigators would not suspect the manor was empty.
• Old He reported that a secret investigator had been fooled by the staged celebration, and Sikong Jing ordered his allies to follow the Yao Residence's Divine Shuttle Ship at daybreak and attack the Thousand Kings Holy Tower when needed.
• The next morning, Sikong Jing left the empty Yao Residence alone and went to the Weapon Formation Masters Guild in Shaking One District.
• The crowd outside the guild focused on Sikong Jing and wondered whether he would demonstrate his army-slaying formation skills in the Weapon Formation Masters contest.

• Sikong Jing tossed an ordinary bottle into the air, and Golden Tiger Emperor ordered an elder to strike it as Gong Ying also attacked.

• Golden Tiger Emperor discovered he had seized a Spirit Martial Stage demon monkey whose aura matched Sikong Jing’s.
• Golden Tiger Emperor searched through the chaos but could no longer find Sikong Jing’s aura.

Sikong Jing escaped his pursuers by using his beast blood to incite the demon beasts, while the Yao Residence had already fled the city. The factions sealed Shaking Chaos City and searched for them, leaving Sikong Jing stranded in Shaking Eight District as he waited for Tyrant Lotus Venerable.

• Sikong Jing reached Shaking Eight District, found the city sealed, and waited at a tavern for Tyrant Lotus Venerable to take him out.

Sikong Jing met Tyrant Lotus Venerable, who disguised herself as Tyrant Soul Venerable’s enemy to learn where he had gone. He exposed her identity and reassured her that Tyrant Soul had never loved another woman, but said only that Tyrant Soul was in grave danger.

• A veiled woman confronted Sikong Jing and demanded to know where Tyrant Soul was, threatening him and the city if he refused.

Sikong Jing escaped Chaos-Shaking City with Tyrant Lotus Venerable’s help and rejoined the Yao Residence’s Divine Shuttle Ship. He revealed that Tyrant Soul Venerable might be trapped or imprisoned, leaving Duanmu Chun speechless over whether Tyrant Lotus Venerable should be told.

• Tyrant Lotus Venerable believed Sikong Jing’s claim that Tyrant Soul Venerable still cared for her, then took Sikong Jing out of Chaos-Shaking City.
• Tyrant Lotus Venerable left Sikong Jing to draw away Eastern Night Sacred Pool’s sect master, falsely claiming her people had captured him.
• Sikong Jing caught up with the Yao Residence’s Divine Shuttle Ship and told the group to pretend he had not returned so Tyrant Lotus Venerable’s strength and plans stayed secret.
• Duanmu Chun asked whether Sikong Jing knew Tyrant Soul Venerable’s whereabouts, and Sikong Jing suggested he might be suppressing Su Old Devil or imprisoned by the Thousand Kings Holy Tower.
• Sikong Jing asked whether Tyrant Lotus Venerable would rush to rescue Tyrant Soul Venerable if told the truth, and Duanmu Chun could not answer.

After Sikong Jing was taken away by Tyrant Lotus Venerable, Thousand Kings Holy Tower pursued the Yao Residence while Gong Ying and the Eastern Tyrant Branch lost their territory. Half a month later, Tyrant Fierce Venerable arrived in Chaos-Shaking City and immediately slapped Gong Ying.
