Tai Nuo killed Tai Tan and led the Strength Clan into Spirit Hall, while Bibi Dong promised the four clans revenge on the Clear Sky Sect within ten years. As Spirit Hall’s power alarmed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qian Mochen arrived at Xue Ye’s palace to discuss a matter with him.

• Qian Mochen entered Xue Ye’s palace and told him that his domain prevented anyone outside from hearing them.

Qian Mochen confronted Xue Ye in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and demanded control over the empire’s major affairs, while Dugu Bo’s poison gave Spirit Hall leverage over the royal family. Xue Ye reluctantly agreed to change how the empire treated its nobles, though Qian Mochen’s demands left him effectively under Spirit Hall’s control.

• Qian Mochen proposed sponsoring a team for Heaven Dou Royal Academy and challenged Xue Ye over the academy’s wasted resources.
• Xue Ye and two Soul Douluo guards used a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill and attacked Qian Mochen, but his domain rendered their attacks powerless.

• Qian Mochen revealed that Dugu Bo had poisoned Xue Ye and more than fifty members of the royal family, leaving them dependent on Dugu Bo’s pills to suppress the poison.
• Xue Ye yielded to protect the Xue Family, and Qian Mochen told him to change the empire’s rules so nobles could no longer buy their way out of punishment.

Qian Mochen forced Emperor Xue Ye to hand Heaven Dou Royal Academy over to Spirit Hall and planned to use the empire’s resources to train commoner soul masters loyal to Spirit Hall.

He then began a campaign called Pearl Lost in the Sea to find and rescue talented young soul masters from fraudulent academies across the Heaven Dou Empire.

• Qian Mochen appointed Dugu Bo principal, introduced a bottom-three elimination system and a credit system, and ordered the academy to follow new rules and schedules.
