• Several newcomers arrived and offered to help Ye Lin break through, while one declared the Human Sect's treasure vault would be his.

• Bai Yuzhen revealed that the Spatial Ring held the Demonic Sect’s million-year wealth, worth at least five hundred million transaction points, and said her father had entrusted it to her.
