• Han Feng realized Xiao Yan had targeted the Heavenly Flames within him and considered escaping, just as the seals on the ten scrolls loosened and the crowd surged to grab them.

Lin Hao seized the ten Dou Technique scrolls and sent the Misty Cloud Sect group away, leaving himself to face the other factions. When they demanded the scrolls, he offered jade slips promising seventh-tier medicinal pills to anyone who stayed out of the fight, but Feng Qing'er still moved to take one by force.
