Chapter 13 Summary: "Fate, Gangzi"

Key Plot Points

• Bibi Dong, provoked by Qian Mochen's words, attacks him using her Seventh Soul Skill (Martial Soul Avatar), transforming into a massive Nether Demon Spider and wreaking havoc in the valley
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei enter the valley to check on the commotion; by the time they arrive, the battle has stopped and both stand calmly as if nothing happened

• After the elders leave, Qian Mochen reveals serious injuries—his arm is covered in red and purple bruises. Bibi Dong, embarrassed, applies medicine for him
• Fortification of the valley: Qian Mochen proposes using the natural miasma as a defense. He, Yue Guan, and Dugu Bo travel through Sunset Forest extracting poison from poison-type soul beasts, thickening the miasma into an inky, lethal barrier (tested on a thousand-year soul beast, which died within 30 meters)
