• Ye Lin decided there was no reason to remain after avenging himself and began considering whom to bring beyond the domain.

Ye Lin finalized seven people to bring with him and reflected on how his long life and relentless progress had left him free of ties but lonely. He remained unable to locate his old companions or even determine where the Xuanhuang Great World lay in the vast Demon Domain.

• Ye Lin selected Dugu Feng, Poison Venerable, Li Xiaoyao, Bao Xiaotou, Wang Tian, Shangguan Wanyu, and Luo Yao as his candidates.
