Qiuniu and his brothers encountered three Spirit Hall Worships who had tracked them through the forest. While Qiuniu wanted to embarrass the Worships lightly and avoid conflict, Yazi had a different plan.

Mo Lin met Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy and asked how his recruitment efforts were going. Yu Tianheng reported that Osler and Yu Feng’s families had agreed to join the reformed Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but the Black Turtle Sect and Nine-Heart Begonia Clan were unlikely to join, leaving Mo Lin to consider his next move.

• Mo Lin and Qian Renxue waited in a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan carriage outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan boarded the carriage, and Mo Lin questioned Yu Tianheng about the task he had assigned him.
• Yu Tianheng reported that Osler and Yu Feng and their families had agreed to join the reformed Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• Mo Lin realized Yu Tianheng’s results exceeded his expectations and that his plan to pressure him over his friends could no longer proceed as intended.

Mo Lin brought Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in an instant, then encountered Yu Xiaogang and explained his hostility toward his cousin to Qian Renxue. He left the encounter behind and asked Qian Renxue whether she wanted to hear his plan for the Clear Sky Sect.

• Mo Lin agreed not to press Yu Tianheng about the Black Turtle Sect and the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan’s allegiance.

• Two days later, Qian Daoliu considered the threat posed by the suspected peak Douluo in Douluo Hall when Snake Lance Douluo entered.

Qian Renxue attended Moonlight Pavilion’s graduation ceremony disguised as Xue Qinghe, watching for Mo Lin while Tang San performed. The arrival of a carriage bearing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s emblem put the guards on alert and left the ceremony poised for an unexpected development.

• Qian Daoliu considered the unresolved dragon roar, the forces it had brought, and rumors of evil soul masters while the three Douluos went to change and receive examinations.

• The guards recognized the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s emblem and lowered their weapons to avoid provoking the clan.

Mo Lin, Mo Jia, and Yu Luomian forced their way into Moonlight Pavilion after Mo Lin overwhelmed the guards outside. As Tang San’s performance ended, the ceremony hall plunged into freezing darkness, leaving him to face the hostile intruders.

• Mo Lin, Mo Jia, and Yu Luomian arrived at Moonlight Pavilion during its graduation ceremony, and Lai refused to let them enter.

• Mo Lin’s cold aura overwhelmed many guests at Moonlight Pavilion, while Tang San struggled to mobilize his powers against the pressure.
• Mo Lin entered the hall with Yu Luomian and focused his attention on Tang Yuehua.
• Tang San secretly prepared a sleeve arrow as Mo Lin approached Tang Yuehua, but Mo Lin handed her a letter instead of attacking.
• Tang Yuehua accepted the letter and saw that it was a challenge letter addressed to her eldest brother.
• Mo Lin told Tang Yuehua that her sect’s elders knew the reason and called her Eldest Miss Tang of the Clear Sky Sect, prompting the guests to erupt in discussion.

Mo Lin exposed Tang Yuehua’s connection to the Clear Sky Sect, forcing the gathering to confront the coming war between the Upper Three Sects. As arrivals approached, he attacked Xue Qinghe with ice spikes, leaving Tang San to decide against intervening.

• Tang San considered using Divine Slaughter’s Domain to protect Xue Qinghe but decided not to risk getting involved.

Mo Lin provoked a confrontation at Moonlight Pavilion to expose the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while Qian Renxue maintained her disguise as Xue Qinghe. After Mo Jia defeated Elder Ming in one strike, Mo Lin left with the gathering’s attention fixed on the coming clash among the upper three sects.

• Lai rushed to Xue Ye’s bedchamber and reported that Mo Lin had attacked Moonlight Pavilion, prompting Xue Ye to send Elder Ming to protect Xue Qinghe.

• Tang Yuehua noticed Mo Jia’s hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and Mo Lin left after inviting her to meet three hundred li east of Heaven Dou City in three days.

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.

• Bibi Dong agreed with Hu Liena’s assessment that Spirit Hall should investigate the Clear Sky Sect’s strength and assigned Hu Liena to lead the mission with Elders Ghost and Yue Guan.
• Mo Min told Tang Yuehua that she was grateful for her guidance but had learned that Tang Yuehua belonged to the Clear Sky Sect, and warned her to leave before the fighting began.
• Tang Yuehua cried after Mo Min left, and Tang San entered, delaying his visit to Tang Hao because he did not want his father involved in the coming battle.
• Hu Liena questioned Bibi Dong about her assignment, saying she was too weak to gather intelligence safely and would rather focus on cultivation.
• Bibi Dong reminded Hu Liena that she had spent nearly three years shut away in Spirit Hall and said the mission could help her recover 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 and Mo Ning inspected the camp, and Qilin dug up a tree root that showed the barren terrain had been deliberately cleared long ago.
• 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.
