After learning that the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would go to war, Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall's elders debated how to use the conflict to assess the Clear Sky Sect. Hu Liena argued that Spirit Hall should wait until public attention faded before acting, and Bibi Dong's court was left considering the political cost of striking too soon.

• News that the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would go to war spread across the soul master world, reaching Spirit Hall by the following noon.
• Bibi Dong asked whether Spirit Hall had discovered the cause of the two sects' conflict, and a cardinal said they were still awaiting more information.
• Yue Guan proposed using the war to reveal the Clear Sky Sect's strength and possibly attacking it immediately afterward.
• Bibi Dong rejected an immediate attack and said Spirit Hall should observe and gather intelligence instead.
• Hu Liena explained that acting too soon would let the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect condemn Spirit Hall, so it should wait until the uproar faded.

Bibi Dong assigned Hu Liena to investigate the Clear Sky Sect alongside Elders Ghost and Yue Guan. At Moonlight Pavilion, Mo Min revealed her allegiance to Tang Yuehua and warned her to leave before fighting began, while Bibi Dong urged Hu Liena to emerge from her isolation and use the mission to regain her balance and obtain a spirit ring.

• Hu Liena accepted Bibi Dong’s advice and promised to adjust herself.

Tang Yuehua rushed to warn the Clear Sky Sect but found its only approach blocked by the invading army’s camp. Mo Lin explained how the sect’s isolated location and poor defenses favored his forces, then learned a visitor had arrived and left their fate to him.

• Tang Yuehua hurried toward the Clear Sky Sect to warn her eldest brother that Mo Lin’s forces planned to attack.
• Tang Yuehua discovered that tents belonging to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Mo, Zhou, and Fu families blocked the road to the sect.

• Mo Lin explained that the Clear Sky Sect’s only supply route and difficult mountain approaches left it vulnerable to his forces.
• Mo Jia arrived and told Mo Lin and Mo Ning that they had just met a visitor, leaving Mo Lin to decide how to handle them.

Mo Lin released Tang Yuehua, and Mo Min escorted her away from the camp. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo traveled toward the Clear Sky Sect to intervene in the coming war, but they worried the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s forces might overpower them.

Yu Yuanzhen, Mo Lin, Mo Teng, and Mo Jia prepared for the arrival of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which Mo Lin expected to provoke conflict. When Ge Long arrived as the Heaven Dou Empire’s representative, Mo Lin suspected the empire planned to exploit the weakened sects, and he anticipated that the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall would also come.

• A scout reported that Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were approaching, and Yu Yuanzhen criticized Ning Fengzhi’s motives.

• Mo Lin predicted that the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall would also arrive.

• Mo Ning and Mo Jia discussed Mo Lin’s feelings for people at Spirit Hall, and Mo Jia began recounting his romantic history to Mo Ning.

• Xu Siwei denied that the Star Luo Empire planned to rescue the Clear Sky Sect and introduced himself, prompting Mo Lin to recognize the significance of his surname.

Mo Lin negotiated with Xu Siwei of the Star Crown Clan for land in the Star Luo Empire, offering one hundred thousand Heaven Dou Empire soldiers and the head of Ge Long in exchange. He named Gengxin City as his target, then left after finding Spirit Hall's people.

• Mo Lin asked Xu Siwei whether he could speak for the Star Luo Empire and proposed finding a new home for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Mo Lin offered one hundred thousand Heaven Dou Empire soldiers and Ge Long's head as bargaining chips, and Xu Siwei accepted the proposed deal.
• Mo Lin named Gengxin City as the territory he wanted and vanished before Xu Siwei could ask more.
• Xu Siwei told the two Soul Douluo that the Star Crown Clan could present the deal as a fair transaction and use the military gains to justify granting Gengxin City.
• Mo Lin's thoughts turned to Spirit Hall's people after he found them.

Mo Lin reunited with Hu Liena after more than three years apart and, overcoming his guilt and hesitation, accepted her feelings with a kiss. Hu Liena believed Bibi Dong had explained his absence, while Mo Lin realized his master had taken responsibility for the conflict over the divine position; their reunion ended with Hu Liena teasing him about his practiced kissing.

• Mo Lin sensed the approaching group and realized Hu Liena was among them, then overcame his nervousness and used Eight Gates Transport to meet them.

• Hu Liena kissed Mo Lin again and asked why he was so practiced at kissing.

• Yu Yuanzhen angrily rejected Ning Fengzhi's appeal, and Mo Lin warned Ning Fengzhi against demanding magnanimity without understanding the situation.

Mo Lin and Yu Yuanzhen revealed to Ning Fengzhi that the war against the Clear Sky Sect was tied to the death of Mo Lin’s mother, leaving Ning’s attempt to mediate with little hope. At the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao confronted the elders with the declaration of war and asked how they would respond before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan attacked the day after tomorrow.

• Mo Lin mocked Ning Fengzhi and revealed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s war against the Clear Sky Sect concerned his mother’s death.

• Tang Xiao said the enemy would attack the day after tomorrow and asked the elders for their plans.

Mo Lin prepared to avenge his family and manipulated Tang Xiao into bringing Clear Sky Sect down from its mountain stronghold to face the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The two sides gathered before the village as neutral observers watched, and Ghost openly mocked Clear Sky Sect’s decision.

• Mo Lin reassured Mo Ning that he would respect the dead, then put on a mask and prepared to act.
• Mo Lin and Mo Ning watched Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan face off before the village, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Heaven Dou Empire, and Spirit Hall observing.
• Mo Lin revealed that his two-part letter had helped persuade Tang Xiao to bring Clear Sky Sect down the mountain, while making the elders believe the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sought a peaceful settlement.
• A Spirit Hall Soul Douluo asked Ghost why Clear Sky Sect had abandoned its natural defenses, and Ghost loudly mocked the sect for needing to meet its challengers in order to preserve its reputation.

Mo Lin confronted the Clear Sky Sect over the deaths of his parents and used the accusation to unsettle its disciples before calling Bai He to testify. As Bai He prepared to recount the past, Mo Lin and Mo Ning monitored Ning Fengzhi and continued with their plan against the Clear Sky Sect.

• Tang Xiao defended the Clear Sky Sect, summoned his Clear Sky Hammer, and challenged the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to fight.
• Mo Lin told the Clear Sky Sect's disciples that the sect had hunted down and killed his parents, Mo Di and Yu Yuanling, twenty years earlier.
• The Clear Sky Sect's Seventh and Third Elders tried to silence Mo Lin, but he argued that the disciples deserved to know why they were being sent to fight.
• Mo Lin called Bai He forward to recount what happened, shocking Tang Xiao and the five elders because Bai He was a living witness and their relative.
• Mo Ning reported that Ning Fengzhi seemed unsettled, and Mo Lin concluded that he would not attack and told Mo Ning to proceed with their plan.

Bai He exposed the Clear Sky Sect’s past crimes, shattering its disciples’ faith and leaving Tang Xiao unable to defend the sect. Mo Lin offered uninvolved disciples a chance to leave before the battle, and nearly half of them departed as the Clear Sky Sect’s forces weakened.

• Bai He testified to the Clear Sky Sect’s crimes, confirming the truth of the accusations for Tang Xiao and the assembled disciples.
• Mo Lin dismissed Bai He, who thanked him and flew away; Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ghost recognized how Mo Lin’s schemes had devastated the sect’s morale.
• Mo Lin told Tang Xiao that Bai He’s testimony confirmed his blood feud with the Clear Sky Sect, then offered uninvolved disciples one minute to leave before he treated those who remained as enemies.
• Mo Ning explained to Yu Yuanzhen that Mo Lin spared the uninvolved to protect their public reputation and prevent future dangers.
• Nearly half of the Clear Sky Sect disciples left the area rather than remain with the sect or return up the mountain.

Mo Lin and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan revealed their overwhelming strength against the Clear Sky Sect, while Mo Teng took on Tang Xiao. Mo Lin transported the sect’s five elders into a vast underground space, where he appeared and prepared to fight them.

• Mo Lin struck Tang Xiao with his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade and overpowered him in their opening exchange.
• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan revealed seven Titled Douluo, including Mo Teng and Mo Jia with hundred-thousand-year ninth soul rings, and Tang Xiao realized the challenge had been a trap.
• Tang Xiao attacked Mo Lin with Clear Sky True Body and Disorder Splitting Wind, but Mo Teng blocked the blow and took Tang Xiao as his opponent.
• Mo Lin told Mo Teng he would handle the Clear Sky Sect’s five elders, then silently sent all five through space into a dark underground chamber.
• Mo Lin lit the chamber and told the elders he had only wanted to estimate how long the battle above would last before facing them.

Mo Lin confronted five Clear Sky Sect elders underground and killed the Fourth and Seventh Elders in rapid succession. He left the other three elders stunned after proving his strength in a direct clash.

• Mo Lin taunted the five Clear Sky Sect elders and focused his killing intent on the Fourth Elder, knocking him unconscious.
• Mo Lin appeared behind the Fourth Elder with Eight Gates Transport, cut him in half with the Asura Demon Sword, and seized his Martial Soul and soul.
• The Seventh Elder attacked Mo Lin with a combination of Clear Sky Hammer soul skills, but Mo Lin countered with Sawblade Strangle: Round Dance.
• Mo Lin's sword qi, dragon flames, and light element shattered the Seventh Elder's attack and grievously wounded him; Mo Lin then stripped away his Martial Soul and soul.
• The three surviving Clear Sky Sect elders watched in shock as Mo Lin killed two Title Douluo within moments.

Mo Lin reflected on his growing hostility toward Tang Hao and his reasons for keeping Spirit Binding and General Dispatch concealed. After defeating the Clear Sky Sect’s five elders, he realized his strength exceeded his expectations and felt a small measure of relief rather than deep vengeance.

• Mo Lin considered how Tang Hao’s narrow perspective and past actions had made him a threat, despite Mo Lin’s earlier reluctance to target him.
• Mo Lin used Non-Aggression in its Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade form to pin the Clear Sky Sect’s Second Elder to a wall and defeat him.
• The dying Second Elder recognized Mo Lin’s overwhelming strength from his twin martial souls and the rare soul rings on Non-Aggression.
• Mo Lin pulled the Second Elder’s martial soul and soul from his body after the other four elders had died.
• Mo Lin reflected that killing the five elders had eased a small knot in his heart, though his sense of duty to avenge his parents came more from his own values than from strong memories of them.

Mo Lin returned to the battlefield after killing Clear Sky Sect’s five elders and helped bring the sect’s defeat to its end. Tang Xiao asked him to spare the remaining disciples before accepting death, leaving Clear Sky Sect effectively extinct.

• Mo Lin returned to the surface as his allies defeated Clear Sky Sect’s fighters, leaving Tang Xiao as the last resistance.
• Mo Teng told Mo Lin that Tang Xiao’s fate was his to decide and that he would follow Mo Lin’s way of thinking.
• Mo Lin asked Tang Xiao whether he would have opposed the five elders, and Tang Xiao explained why he had felt unable to risk the sect’s survival.
• Tang Xiao confirmed that Mo Lin had killed the five elders and asked him to spare Clear Sky Sect’s remaining disciples before requesting a quick death.
• Mo Lin killed Tang Xiao with Non-Aggression, and Clear Sky Sect was left with too few powerful disciples to survive as a major sect.

After the battle, Mo Lin treated the wounded and revealed that the survivors would form a new faction called Grace Hall. He confronted Ning Fengzhi about what he knew of the Heaven Dou Empire’s forces, leaving Ning to weigh whether to cooperate.

• Mo Lin used his rapidly recovering Soul Power to heal several hundred wounded people after the battle.
• Mo Lin asked Ning Fengzhi about his relationship with Tang Xiao and warned that familiarity could have led to further fighting.
• Mo Lin revealed his identity as Mo Yu, reminding Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong of the Gold Soul Coins he had swindled from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect years earlier.
• Mo Lin told Ning Fengzhi and Spirit Hall’s representatives that the survivors would join a new faction named Grace Hall and asked them to spread the news.
• Ghost left after hearing the faction’s name, and Ning Fengzhi prepared to depart until Mo Lin pressed him to remember what they still needed to discuss.
• Ning Fengzhi realized Mo Lin likely knew the Heaven Dou Empire’s army had blocked the escape routes and considered sharing information to avoid making another enemy.

After testing Ning Fengzhi’s priorities, Mo Lin unleashed a Qimen formation attack on the Heaven Dou Empire’s army as it hunted Clear Sky Sect disciples. He drowned much of the force in flowing earth and revealed himself to Ge Long, who recognized his mask and demanded to know how Mo Lin had found them.

• Mo Lin concluded that Ning Fengzhi would abandon the Heaven Dou Empire if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could secure a better alliance with him.
• Two Heaven Dou Empire Soul Masters killed a Clear Sky Sect disciple and speculated that the sect had either already won or its fleeing disciples were inexperienced.
• Mo Lin shook the ground within the Qimen formation, disrupting the Heaven Dou Empire’s Soul Masters and army.
• Mo Lin used Kun Character, Earth River Chariot, to turn the ground fluid and swallow soldiers across a five-thousand-meter radius.
• Ge Long barely kept himself from sinking into the earth as he watched the soldiers die, then saw Mo Lin hovering above him.
• Mo Lin dropped his mask, and Ge Long recognized him and cried out that Mo Lin could not have discovered them.

Mo Lin killed Ge Long after burying him in the earth, then concealed himself and listened as Ge Long’s deputy tried to hide the central army’s destruction and press on against the Clear Sky Sect. Mo Lin left the battlefield and rejoined Grace Hall, whose members escaped through a tunnel dug by Qilin.

• Mo Lin buried Ge Long up to his head, used the Hell Domain to break his resistance, and beheaded him before storing his head in a Devouring Pouch.
• Ge Long’s deputy arrived with soul masters, saw the field of buried soldiers, and ordered the left and right armies to attack the Clear Sky Sect after being told the central army had already dealt with its supposed attackers.
• Mo Lin, hidden nearby with the Qimen Formation, judged the deputy’s fabricated account a desperate attempt to survive and considered the Clear Sky Sect capable of holding out against the armies.
• Mo Lin returned to Grace Hall as its people traveled through Qilin’s concealed underground tunnel, which Qilin would restore after they passed.

Mo Lin discussed whether Mo Min should be allowed to try to save Tang Yuehua, while Tang San wandered in distress after finding signs that Tang Hao had been defeated and captured. He reached Heaven Dou City and decided to wait for its gates to open so he could visit Shrek Academy and his old friends.

• Mo Lin, Mo Ning, and Mo Jia confirmed that no one was missing and discussed letting Mo Min follow her feelings if she wanted to rescue Tang Yuehua.
• Mo Lin said Mo Min should not be stopped if she showed an intention to save Tang Yuehua, and that the others should follow her.
• Tang San found the abandoned, devastated meeting place and concluded that an unknown enemy had defeated Tang Hao in a single move.
• Tang San's fear of the hidden enemy conflicted with his guilt over neglecting concern for Tang Hao, leaving him wandering aimlessly.
• A Heaven Dou City guard stopped Tang San outside the closed gates, and Tang San decided to wait and then visit Shrek Academy.

Tang San entered Heaven Dou City and found Shrek Academy in decline after a series of teacher disappearances drove away students and sponsors. Liu Erlong brought an unrecognized blue-haired youth to Flender, leaving the visitor’s identity unclear.

• Tang San vaulted into Heaven Dou City and went to Shrek Academy, where its overgrown gates and lack of a guard puzzled him.
• Flender recalled how teacher disappearances and an ineffective investigation damaged Shrek Academy’s reputation, enrollment, and funding.
• Flender remained exhausted by the academy’s troubles while Liu Erlong came into his office.
• Liu Erlong showed Flender a blue-haired youth, but Flender could not recognize him.
