Chen Changming learned that Xue Kuang had once reached the fifth level of the Golden Core realm and suspected the Blood Demon Ancestor was waiting for him to reach the same level before acting. Over several years, Chen cultivated the Blood Demon Brahma Heaven Technique until his Blood Essence formed purple armor, enabling him to begin cultivating the Blood Escape Technique.

• Xue Mei told Chen Changming that Xue Kuang had reached the fifth level of the Golden Core realm, and Chen left without asking why Xue Kuang had betrayed them.

• Xue Du arrived from Crimson Blood Mountain, asked why Chen Changming was not cultivating in the Blood Mansion, and feared his junior brother would soon share the fate of their other seniors.
