The chapter ended with Hua Meixi activating the Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, exposing another piece of intelligence the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce had missed.

• Sikong Jing asked Hua Meixi to reveal her battle body, and she displayed her eighth-grade Demonic Charm Battle Body before the Heavenly Commanders.

• Hua Meixi demonstrated that she had mastered the Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation, then declared her support for oppressed non-combat bodies and her willingness to die for them.
• The old boatman, the old blacksmith, and the old farmer defended the non-combat bodies and argued that Gong Ying’s persecution had driven them to fight back.

• East Mist ended Gong Ying’s appeal and had her return to Tyrant Fierce Venerable’s side.
• East Mist offered to count Sikong Jing’s Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation and the territory he had seized as merits.

Tyrant Lotus Venerable challenged Dong Wu’s plan to hand Sikong Jing over to the Thousand Kings Holy Tower, and the Heaven Deciders and Earth Deciders voted on whether to protect him. The vote favored protecting Sikong Jing, but Tyrant Fierce Venerable then invoked West Chart Heavenly Decider’s debt to his master, leaving the result uncertain.
