Chapter Summaries

Dai Mobai entered the fifth level of the prison, where he sensed the prisoners’ blood energy as a feast for his Martial Soul. When a burly prisoner insulted Li Yue, Dai Mobai killed him by draining his body into a dried corpse, leaving the other prisoners terrified.

• The other prisoners shrank away in fear after seeing Dai Mobai kill the Six-Ring Soul Emperor without resistance.

Dai Mobai visited the fifth floor of the Evil Suppression Office and drained eight powerful prisoners of their blood qi. Back in the Bedchamber, he purified the blood qi and began condensing it into a blood-red soul ring.

• Dai Mobai killed the first insolent prisoner and told Chen Fan he would take everyone on the floor.
• Dai Mobai drained seven more prisoners, leaving eight shriveled corpses in all, then said he would return another day.

• Dai Mobai used his holy light white tiger to shatter the blood qi's negative emotions and absorb the purified energy.
• Dai Mobai summoned his second martial soul, formed a blood vortex, and began condensing a blood-red halo above his head.

• Dai Mobai sent the flame into a courtyard rockery and detonated it, reducing the stones to ash and leaving a dry crater.
• Dai Mobai reflected that absorbing the blood energy and resentment of eight Soul Masters had increased his Soul Power growth after reaching level sixty-two.

Dai Mobai discovered that he had reached level sixty-five overnight and demonstrated his power by destroying a massive rockery. He then found Dugu Yan suffering a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison flare-up and began examining the poison inside her body.

• Dai Mobai ordered Li Yue to find a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone and stand by.
• Dai Mobai used the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's sight to inspect the poison moving through Dugu Yan's meridians.

Dai Mobai used the Blood Demon Flame to painstakingly purge the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from Dugu Yan’s meridians. He cleared the branches in her arms and continued working through her body, with the poison still being treated.

• Dai Mobai examined the poison spreading through Dugu Yan’s meridians and summoned the power of his three Soul Rings.

• Dai Mobai purged the thicker, more heavily poisoned meridian in Dugu Yan’s right arm and moved on to the next branch.

Dai Mobai purged the last of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from Dugu Yan, then rested beside her as she slept. The chapter ended with Dugu Yan waking the next morning and checking her body.

• Dai Mobai concentrated his remaining mental power on Dugu Yan's main poison-filled meridian and used Blood Demon Flame to destroy the last of the serpent poison.
• Dugu Yan cried out, collapsed onto the bed, and began breathing peacefully as the poison's visible effects faded.
• Dai Mobai tucked Dugu Yan in, brushed her hair from her face, and rested beside her while she slept.
• Li Yue brought in a jade box containing the Soul Bone, saw Dai Mobai's exhaustion, and took up watch outside the Bedchamber.
• Dai Mobai climbed into bed and gathered Dugu Yan into his arms.
• Dugu Yan woke the next morning, sat up, and looked down at her body.

After waking free of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, Dugu Yan learned that Dai Mobai had purged it with his Blood Demon Flame. Dai Mobai agreed to treat Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan began calling her grandfather to arrange a meeting.

• Dugu Yan woke feeling healthy and realized the events of the previous night had truly happened.
• Dai Mobai confirmed that he had removed the poison from her body using his Blood Demon Flame.
• Dugu Yan asked whether Dai Mobai could also remove the poison from Dugu Bo, whose poison had hindered his cultivation.
• Dai Mobai agreed, explaining that Dugu Bo would need three to five sessions because he was a Titled Douluo.
• Dugu Yan hurried to the window and sent out a serpent's hiss to notify Grandpa.

Dugu Bo came to the East Palace after Dugu Yan secretly summoned him, and Dai Mobai proved that her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was gone. Dai Mobai began preparing to treat Dugu Bo, leaving the Poison Douluo astonished by his Soul Rings and Twin Martial Souls.

• Dugu Yan used the Serpent Secret Art to send a message to Dugu Bo, who arrived at the East Palace three days later.
• Dugu Bo checked Dugu Yan’s meridians and discovered that Dai Mobai had completely purged the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from her body.
• Dai Mobai sent Dugu Yan to find Li Yue and led Dugu Bo into a side hall for treatment.
• Dai Mobai revealed three blood-colored Soul Rings, and Dugu Bo realized he had Twin Martial Souls.
• Dai Mobai warned Dugu Bo to remain calm, then activated Blood Demon Flame and engulfed his right hand in blood-colored fire.

Dai Mobai used the Blood Demon Flame and his spiritual power to begin purging Dugu Bo’s poison. He discovered that the poison had fused with Dugu Bo’s bones and formed crystals, and carefully guided the flame toward the most damaged bones.

• Dai Mobai’s heat made Dugu Bo’s poison-attribute martial soul recoil, but Dugu Bo held still and endured it.
• Dai Mobai touched Dugu Bo’s back with the Blood Demon Flame, burning away his robe and causing him intense pain.
• Dai Mobai used his spiritual power to examine Dugu Bo’s body and found that the poison had blackened his bones and formed hard crystals near his spine and ribs.
• Dai Mobai concluded that Dugu Bo would die within three years without help and guided the increasingly hot flame toward his poisoned bones.

Dai Mobai used the Blood Demon Flame to burn Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from Dugu Bo’s bones, easing the poison’s effects but leaving the treatment unfinished. Dugu Bo thanked him, and Dai Mobai told him to return in ten days for the next session.

• Dai Mobai carefully guided the Blood Demon Flame around Dugu Bo’s bones to burn away the poison without touching the bone directly.
• Dugu Bo endured a quarter hour of agony as Dai Mobai cleared much of the poison from one section of bone.
• Unnoticed by Dai Mobai, tiny transparent traces from the poisonous mist merged into the Blood Demon Flame.
• Dai Mobai stopped the treatment, explaining that Dugu Bo would need five sessions spaced ten days apart to clear the poison completely.
• Dugu Bo thanked Dai Mobai, who left the side hall and told him to return in ten days.

Dai Mobai watched Dugu Bo recover after the poison treatment, then examined his Blood Demon Flame and discovered that traces of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison had hidden inside it. The toxin remained stubbornly dormant, leaving Dai Mobai aware of a danger within his own body.

• Dugu Bo recovered enough to stand and said that his body felt lighter than it had in years.
• Dai Mobai warned Dugu Bo not to use his martial soul for several days, and Dugu Yan joined her grandfather in the courtyard.
• Dai Mobai returned to his room, summoned his eighty-thousand-year blood-red soul ring, and studied the Blood Demon Flame with his spiritual power.
• Dai Mobai raised the flame's temperature and noticed eerie green mist emerging from its core.
• Dai Mobai realized that traces of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison had escaped the earlier purging and silently merged into the Blood Demon Flame.

Dai Mobai purified the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison inside his body, condensing it into a bead and burning away its toxic mist. The bead became a transparent sphere filled with exceptionally pure Soul Power, leaving him astonished by the unexpected discovery.

• Dai Mobai decided to purge the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from his body using Blood Demon Flame.
• Dai Mobai intensified the flames until the stubborn green mist condensed into a jade-green bead.
• Dai Mobai raised the flames' temperature further, causing cracks to spread across the bead as poison escaped and burned away.
• Dai Mobai purified the final wisp of green mist, revealing a transparent sphere filled with nearly solidified, pure Soul Power.
• Dai Mobai stared at the sphere in astonishment and fell into deep thought.

Dai Mobai discovered that purifying Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison also released soul power the poison had accumulated over decades. He absorbed the refined power and reached level sixty-seven, leaving him considering how much more he could gain by continuing to cleanse Dugu Bo.

• Dai Mobai realized the purified soul power had come from what the poison had devoured from Dugu Bo over many years.
• Dai Mobai decided to keep the recovered soul power rather than return it to Dugu Bo.
• Dai Mobai condensed the extracted power into a bead, broke it open, and used his spiritual power and Blood Demon Flame to contain and refine it.
• Dai Mobai absorbed the purified soul power, which blended smoothly with his own.
• Dai Mobai rose from level sixty-five to level sixty-seven and wondered how much more soul power he could extract from Dugu Bo.

Dai Mobai treated Dugu Bo again, drawing out more of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison and some of Dugu Bo’s Soul Power while helping restore his health. Dugu Bo sincerely promised to help Dai Mobai once the poison was fully cleared, and Dai Mobai said he would have plenty of use for him.

• Dai Mobai quietly decided to recover a portion of Dugu Bo’s Soul Power during each treatment as his fee.
• Dai Mobai removed more poison from Dugu Bo, and drew a mixture of poison and Soul Power back into himself.
• Dugu Bo saw his health improving and thanked Dai Mobai for relieving the poison that had plagued him for most of his life.
• Dugu Bo promised to do whatever Dai Mobai asked once the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was cleared.
• Dai Mobai accepted Dugu Bo’s promise and said he would have plenty of tasks for him later.
