Chapter Summaries

Jiang Changkong was threatened over Wang Ruiqing and a promised Sin Domain slot, but he captured the mysterious recruiter who tried to force him into an organization. The investigation revealed that the recruiter had been a pawn of a secretive group, possibly based in the Void Realm, while the Sin Domain remained under close watch.

Jiang Changkong captured a spy who had been watching Liangqiu Xuanyi, then learned Sheng Jin’s people might be plotting against him through the Martial Arts Associations.

• Jiang Changkong forced thirteen martial artists to hand over their Star Stones and Sin Tokens, then sent them away to spread word that he had robbed them.

• Xu Hengzhi explained that the device revealed scenes of people hiding Star Stones and described how Sin Domain’s past massacres had ended under Federation rules.

After failing to find the source beneath the beach, he tracked the bead’s renewed reaction and began drilling into the ground.
