• Ye Lin entered the hall, sat on the golden throne, and recognized the familiar Soul-Bewildering Incense invading his sea of consciousness.
• Figures began entering the hall while Ye Lin remained troubled by the incense’s unknown purpose.

Ye Lin took command of the Eighth City Defense Army and learned that it hunted people called rats who opposed Heavenly Capital City. After dismissing the army’s leaders, he had three captured rats brought to him and sent their captor away so he could question them in private.

• Luo Rulie introduced the sixteen squad leaders of the Eighth City Defense Army to Ye Lin.
• Ye Lin asked about the army’s duties, and a young squad leader explained that it hunted rats who spread rebellion and could evade quasi-saint investigations.
• The young man said he had captured three rats, and Ye Lin ordered him to bring them in.
• Ye Lin dismissed the squad leaders and Luo Rulie, then had the young man bring the three bound captives to the hall.
• Ye Lin ordered the young man to leave so he could question the three rats alone.

• Ye Lin asked the three prisoners why they hated him, and one woman called him a lackey.
• The young man warned that restrictions in their minds prevented Soul Search, even by a quasi-Saint.

• One woman asked Ye Lin to release her so she could verify his story, and he cut her chains.
• The woman used a jade bottle that glowed blue, then said she believed Ye Lin.

Ye Lin learned that Soul-Bewildering Incense gradually controlled Primordial Spirits and transformed bodies so Heavenly Capital City could refine Daluo Golden Immortals into human pills. He questioned the exhausted woman about the city's purpose and its powerful backers.

• Ye Lin examined the jade bottle and deduced that the woman had not been in Heavenly Capital City long, confirming her account was true.
• The woman explained how Soul-Bewildering Incense eroded Primordial Spirits and altered bodies before victims were refined into human pills.
• The woman revealed that the previous deputy city lord of the Eighth City Defense Army had discovered the secret, tried to overthrow Heavenly Capital City, and been made into a human pill.
• Ye Lin learned that the incense took three hundred years to control a Daluo Golden Immortal and wondered why Chu Qinxin seemed affected after only a few days.
• Ye Lin asked whether Heavenly Capital City had always operated this way and challenged the woman about the quasi-saint power behind its restrictions.

A woman told Ye Lin that three foreign Quasi-Saints had seized Heavenly Capital City, trapped its inhabitants, and used them to refine pills. The three survivors sought the Three-Life Sacred Lotus to heal the wounded Qilin Saint, and Ye Lin considered whether helping him could bring a reward.

• The woman revealed that three foreign Quasi-Saints had ambushed Heavenly Capital City's original rulers and taken control of the city.
• She explained that the new rulers had sealed the city, replaced those who knew the truth, and used Soul-Bewildering Incense to refine pills from its inhabitants.
• Ye Lin asked what the survivors hoped to accomplish and noted that they were too weak to overthrow Heavenly Capital City.
• The three survivors said they wanted the Three-Life Sacred Lotus to heal the Qilin Saint, who could expose the city's crimes if restored to health.
• Ye Lin considered saving the gravely wounded Qilin Saint for a possible reward, but decided he needed to think carefully.

Ye Lin learned that the Three-Life Sacred Lotus could help restore the Qilin Saint and agreed to consider stealing it from Heavenly Capital City. After obtaining a way to resist Soul-Bewildering Incense, he freed the three prisoners and told them to escape on their own.

• The three prisoners told Ye Lin that the Three-Life Sacred Lotus was in the Central Land and could restore the Qilin Saint with their secret art.
• Ye Lin agreed to consider stealing the lotus, reasoning that Luo Yao could take him away if the plan failed.
• The woman gave Ye Lin a bottle containing the Qilin Saint's blood to block Soul-Bewildering Incense and warned him to avoid the three city lords.
• A young man entered and demanded that Ye Lin execute the prisoners, but Ye Lin rebuked him and sent him flying with a wave of his hand.
• Ye Lin broke the prisoners' chains and told them he could not protect them for long, urging them to escape on their own.

After Team Leader Wang reported Deputy City Lord Ye to the three City Lords, they decided to monitor Ye Lin and use him to find Qilin. Ye Lin went to the entrance of the Central Land, intending to infiltrate it without being detected.

• Team Leader Wang left the great hall after Ye Lin's words injured him, then accused Ye Lin of shielding their enemies and secretly colluding with them before the three City Lords.
• The three City Lords dismissed Wang's complaint and ordered that Ye Lin be watched as a possible way to find Qilin.
• Ye Lin walked toward the Central Land, relying on his concealing panel to keep powerful figures from tracking him.
• Two sword-carrying Primordial Unity Golden Immortals stopped Ye Lin at a strange gate and warned him that the area was restricted.
• Ye Lin turned away, suspecting stronger guards were hidden nearby and deciding he needed to enter without causing a disturbance.

Ye Lin devised a plan to use his clones to distract the guards at a gate into the Central Land while he infiltrated the city. He secretly took control of Delusion and waited nearby as Lin Xian and Xiaoyao began their diversion.

• Ye Lin scouted the Central Land and found that its guarded gates were his only way inside.
• Ye Lin decided not to ask Luo Yao for help and planned to use his clones to draw the gate guards away.
• Ye Lin sent out his three clones, leaving one at his residence as an alibi while Lin Xian and Xiaoyao prepared the diversion.
• Ye Lin took control of Delusion and hid in an alley near the city gate.
• Lin Xian and Xiaoyao released powerful, unfamiliar Law Great Luo auras as they attacked the enormous building.

• Lin Xian and Delusion set buildings ablaze and fought toward Heavenly Capital City’s gates, drawing out the city’s experts.
• Ye Lin passed through the gates unnoticed while the experts confronted the avatars, then recalled the avatars and left them bewildered.
• Ye Lin moved through the sparsely populated Central Land toward the suspected place where Daluo Golden Immortals were refined into pills.
• The deputy city lord went to report the strange attack to the three city lords.

Ye Lin entered the enormous hidden tower to verify the giants’ human-pill refining and steal the Three-Life Sacred Lotus for the Qilin Saint. He found the lotus immediately on the second floor but hesitated to take it, fearing the City Lord would discover him.

• Ye Lin found a sky-piercing tower hidden from outside by spatial laws and slipped inside.
• He saw a massive pill furnace and giant humanoids, confirming the claim that they were refining human pills.
• Ye Lin flew up the tower unnoticed, intending to steal the Three-Life Sacred Lotus and search for other treasures.
• On the second floor, Ye Lin found the Three-Life Sacred Lotus and worried that taking it would expose him to the City Lord.
