• In Hundred Flowers Valley, Ling Yi studied blood samples from the Ye family and considered the unusual timing of Ye Lingling's awakening and the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.

Ling Yi investigated the split spiritual essence within the Ye Family’s Nine Heart Begonia and theorized that its original attribute might have been poison, drawing a connection to Seven Heart Begonia. He decided to stay in Hundred Flowers Valley with Chen Xin for several days, leaving the Ye Family eager to seek their guidance.

Mo Yuxiong ignited his Blood Flame and helped the Guard Team behead the Icebound Snow Wolf King, though the beast’s counterattack left him badly injured. As the team healed him, a tremendous blizzard swept in from the north, leaving Bing Le alone outside their shield formation and the Mirror Shadow Beast sheltering in its strongest defensive form.

• Mo Yuxiong used the Blood Burst Technique to ignite his Blood Flame, struck the Icebound Snow Wolf King, and held its muzzle while the Guard Team unleashed a blood-red saber attack.

Ling Yi left the Northern Lands and continued researching the Nine Heart Begonia before flying to meet Li Yang and Peng Zi, who brought the critically wounded Mo Yuxiong to Hundred Flowers Valley.
