• Ye Lin observed that the Demon Domain Starry Sky had become stagnant and said it was time to stir it into chaos.

• Ye Lin reasoned that the Qilin Clan lacked strong young prodigies and might therefore support him.
• Li Xiaoyao returned carrying the Wind Thunder Twin Hammers, and Shangguan Wanyu quietly asked him what realm the three Buddhist cultivators had reached.
