Sikong Jing reassured Murong Jianyun that the Thousand Kings Holy Tower had no way to test for a Saint Body, leaving them to maintain the deception for now.

Sikong Jing explained to Murong Jianyun how the Tyrant Soul Token and the Chamber of Commerce’s choices had protected him, then offered to repay Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce by studying its Qianyuan Fragment Maps. The chapter ended with him asking Murong Jianyun to show him the two maps so he could use what he had seen in the Qianyuan Army-Slaying Illusion Realm to decipher them.

• Sikong Jing said he had seen far more of the Qianyuan Army-Slaying Illusion Realm than outsiders believed and offered to study Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce’s two Qianyuan Fragment Maps.

• Sikong Jing told Murong Jianyun he could use Su Old Devil’s diagram to restore the Qianyuan Fragment Map, and Murong Jianyun handed him one of the fragments.

Murong Jianyun and Bei Cang realized Sikong Jing’s extraordinary value after seeing his repaired battle diagram and learning how he had helped A-Lian advance, while Sikong Jing returned to the Teng Residence with Tyrant Lotus Venerable. After Yao Yulou received Pei Yuxian’s summons, Sikong Jing planned to accompany him to Fresh Martial Town that night to rescue someone.

• Yao Yulou secretly told Sikong Jing that Pei Yuxian had summoned him to Fresh Martial Manor in Fresh Martial Town that night.
• Sikong Jing inferred that Pei Yuxian wanted evidence that he lacked a Sacred Body, then said he would accompany Yao Yulou to rescue someone.

Sikong Jing brought Yao Yulou to the Tyrant Soul Secret Realm, then set out to save Pei Yuxian and her brother. Meanwhile, Murong Jianyun confirmed Sikong Jing’s status as a Sacred Body and Tyrant Heaven’s core genius, but chose not to keep him by his side.

• Murong Jianyun admitted to Bei Cang that keeping Sikong Jing close would provoke opposition and invite others to investigate him.

Murong Jianyun and his allies debated how to protect Sikong Jing while concealing his importance, as their opponents mistook his caution for regret. At Fresh Martial Manor, Master Wuji and his companions trapped Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan and revealed that they had anticipated their schemes.

• Murong Jianyun and Bei Cang agreed that Sikong Jing should not stay by Murong Jianyun’s side, keeping his ability to restore the Qianyuan Fragment Map secret while they planned to let him rest before assigning him duties.
• Tyrant Fierce Venerable and Nan Feng decided to endure their worsening position and hoped to prove Sikong Jing was not a Sacred Body so they could turn Murong Jianyun against him.

• Master Wuji arrived with Xiao Liang and Xiao Jia, told the Pei siblings that his group had anticipated their plans, and declared that he would kill them.

Master Wuji and Old Xiu lured Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan into an ambush and attacked them with the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation. After the siblings escaped badly wounded, Yao Yulou found them and offered to conceal their auras as they fled toward Overlord Heaven Outer City.

• Sikong Jing told Old He to keep pressuring Pei Yuxian while the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce’s experts arrived.
• Old Xiu explained to Master Wuji that the Thousand Prison Tower list would provide a secure way to question Pei Yuxian, then erased the troops’ aura traces and withdrew them.
• Murong Jianyun concluded that Pei Yuxian and her brother were still near Overlord Heaven City, so he led the Chamber’s higher-ups toward Fresh Martial Town.
• Pei Yushan threatened to kill Yao Yulou’s father, while Pei Yuxian said the siblings would seek help in the crowded outer city and then let Yao Yulou go.
• Fu Wang met Yang Yi on an uninhabited hillside and asked where Ba Hun’s successor was.

• Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan abandoned their plan to seek help and ordered Yao Yulou to take them somewhere safe, so he led them toward the Tyrant Soul Secret Realm.
• Yang Yi warned Fu Wang not to kill Pei Yuxian and her brother, then Sikong Jing, Old He, and the Spirit Sparrow Clan’s Venerables arrived and surrounded Fu Wang.

Sikong Jing forced Fu Wang to choose between joining Su Old Devil’s remnants and dying, then killed him after realizing he could not be trusted. He arranged for Fu Wang’s death to be blamed on Su Old Devil’s remnants while the conflict with the Thousand Kings Holy Tower continued.

• Sikong Jing decided Fu Wang was untrustworthy and stabbed him through the heart.

After Yao Yulou killed Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan and gave Sikong Jing a partial list of Thousand Kings Holy Tower pawns, the authorities discovered their bodies alongside Fu Dijue’s. Murong Jianyun covered up the circumstances by announcing that Fu Dijue died heroically saving Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan, and ordered the city to mourn him.

• Yao Yulou learned that Jiang Bi’s daughter and granddaughter possessed the Fierce Charm Sacred Body, then killed Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan.

• Murong Jianyun ordered the Pei siblings’ bodies sent to the Thousand Kings Holy Tower and fabricated a heroic account of Fu Dijue’s death, declaring that the city should mourn him.

Nan Feng and his allies urged Murong Jianyun to hand Sikong Jing over to the Thousand Kings Holy Tower, but Murong Jianyun refused and postponed the decision. As Bei Cang considered Sikong Jing’s mysterious abilities, Murong Jianyun went to the Teng Residence and learned that Sikong Jing was in the Tyrant Soul Secret Realm.

• Bei Cang suspected Sikong Jing’s control of the Tyrant Soul Secret Realm and ability to repair the Qianyuan Fragment Map could reveal something significant about his identity.
• Murong Jianyun visited the deserted Teng Residence looking for Sikong Jing, and Yao Yulou told him that Sikong Jing was in the Tyrant Soul Secret Realm tempering their people.

Sikong Jing met Murong Jianyun in the Tyrant Soul Secret Realm and revealed the Tyrant Soul Army-Slaying Formation, using the inheritance to negotiate with him. Instead of asking Murong Jianyun to join Su Old Devil's ranks, Sikong Jing asked him to send him to Willow Leaf Holy Manor on an official mission.

• Murong Jianyun asked what Sikong Jing wanted, and Sikong Jing requested an official mission that would send him to Willow Leaf Holy Manor.

Sikong Jing negotiated with Murong Jianyun for the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce’s support, indirectly confirming his ties to Su Old Devil’s remnants and offering increasingly powerful incentives. He left Murong Jianyun facing the threat of the Thousand Kings Holy Tower, who asked whether Sikong Jing was certain the Jade Appraisal Chamber of Commerce was under its control.

• Murong Jianyun inferred that Sikong Jing was one of Su Old Devil’s remnants and was going to Willow Leaf Holy Manor to find Su Old Devil’s son.

• Murong Jianyun reacted with alarm and asked Sikong Jing whether he was certain about the Jade Appraisal Chamber of Commerce.

Sikong Jing convinced Murong Jianyun that the Thousand Kings Holy Tower threatened the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce and revealed that he had guessed Murong Jianyun was at the Saint Martial Stage. Murong Jianyun weighed an alliance with Sikong Jing and the remnants of Su Old Devil, then asked how much authority Sikong Jing held among them.

• Sikong Jing told Murong Jianyun that the Jade Appraisal Chamber of Commerce was controlled by the Thousand Kings Holy Tower and that Pei Kuang had ordered Pei Yuxian and her brother to obtain a Qianyuan Fragment Map.

• Murong Jianyun asked how much authority Sikong Jing had among Su Old Devil's remnants, and Sikong Jing replied that he called all the shots.

Sikong Jing explained why he needed to reach Willow Leaf Holy Manor under the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce’s name to bring back Su Yuexi, while warning Murong Jianyun that the Thousand Kings Holy Tower might seize the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram within a year or so. He won Murong Jianyun’s support by revealing several trump cards, including the guaranteed creation of another Saint Martial Stage expert, though Murong Jianyun struggled to believe it.

• Sikong Jing asserted his authority over Xiu Hanzhi, He Congsheng, and Qi Wuji, prompting Murong Jianyun to suspect he was Su Old Devil’s successor.
• Sikong Jing explained that Willow Leaf Holy Manor had taken his wife and that he would approach the manor as a Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce genius, hiding their prior relationship to gain time.
• Sikong Jing argued that the Thousand Kings Holy Tower’s campaign to collect the Qianyuan Fragment Maps made delay dangerous, estimating that rival factions might have only six months to a year.

• Sikong Jing predicted that Tyrant Lotus Venerable might also reach the Saint Martial Stage within half a year, leaving Murong Jianyun stunned and skeptical.

• Murong Jianyun used bandits trained in the Spirit Sparrow Clan’s cultivation technique as fake Su Old Devil remnants, while the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce presold the Overlord Soul Hundred-Man Army-Slaying Formation.
• The Dark Wing Dragon Eagle returned from the Tyrant Soul Secret Realm and told Murong Jianyun it would soon reach the Saint Martial Stage and remain with the chamber of commerce.

Murong Jianyun assigned Sikong Jing to become Willow Leaf City's chief Arbiter and pursue Su Old Devil's granddaughter, presenting the move as a trial while using it to distance the Tyrant Heaven Chamber of Commerce from him. As Nan Feng secretly informed Thousand Kings Holy Tower of the decision and left Overlord Heaven Inner City, Murong Jianyun watched him in secret.

• Murong Jianyun told the Heavenly Judgment Hall that Sikong Jing would go to Willow Leaf Holy Manor to pursue Su Old Devil's granddaughter and prove whether he would join Su Old Devil's remaining faction.
• Murong Jianyun explained that Sikong Jing's mission could also open cooperation with Willow Leaf Holy Manor over the Qianyuan Fragment Map, then ended the meeting and made the assignment final.
