Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to reclaim Golden Crocodile and Jiang Mo, but Tianlin refused and Ning Fengzhi made him the school's Vice Sect Master. As Qian Daoliu launched his attack, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi stood together to defend the school.

• Qian Daoliu arrived with Qian Renxue and She Long, and Tianlin used a trace of divine power to break Qian Daoliu's influence over the school's disciples.

• Qian Daoliu unleashed his Angel's pressure against the school, but Chen Xin shielded its people with the Seven Kill Sword as Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi joined him.

Qian Daoliu overwhelmed Chen Xin in battle, but Tianlin joined his master and used the Demon Sword to break through Qian Daoliu’s defenses. Qian Daoliu offered to spare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect if Tianlin joined Spirit Hall; after Tianlin refused, Qian Daoliu released his Soul Rings and prepared to fight without mercy.

• Qian Daoliu attacked Ning Fengzhi, cracked his protective light with one strike, and shattered Tianlin’s summoned Mountain God’s mountain with a wave of light.

• Chen Xin’s attack wounded Qian Daoliu, who responded by using Angel God Descent to draw power from the Angel God Temple in the God Realm.

During his battle with Qian Daoliu, Chen Xin overcame doubts about his sword heart, won the fight, and reached Rank 99 Limit Douluo.

• Bibi Dong sensed powers at Seven Treasure Mountain and returned to the Rakshasa Secret Realm to cultivate, while a shadowed Spirit Hall figure reflected on Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi disrupting its plans.

• Qian Renxue charged at Chen Xin to protect Qian Daoliu, but Tianlin intervened and kept her from reaching him.
• Chen Xin healed Qian Daoliu and explained that he had fought to protect his family, not to avenge his father.

• Tianlin freed Subduing Demon Douluo from the Dark Gold Seal, and She Long checked that he was unharmed.
• Ning Fengzhi demanded one of the Angel Six Spirit Bones in exchange for Golden Crocodile Douluo, but Qian Daoliu refused.

Tianlin appeared to kill Golden Crocodile Douluo and let Ning Fengzhi claim his soul bones, while Qian Daoliu withdrew after warning Tianlin. After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan departed, Tianlin returned to the Main Hall, where Golden Crocodile was about to wake.

• Tianlin refused Qian Daoliu's offer, stabbed Golden Crocodile Douluo through the heart, and ordered Gu Ran to watch the body and later remove its soul bones.
• Yu Luomian asked for two of Golden Crocodile's soul bones, but Yu Yuanzhen refused to take any, so Ning Fengzhi accepted the bones for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Qian Daoliu left with Qian Renxue, She Long, and Subduing Demon after promising the Worship Hall would not initiate attacks on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while vowing to settle the debt with Tianlin.
• Yu Yuanzhen took his clan back to rebuild, and Dugu Yan warned Tianlin not to fight while recovering before leaving with Yu Tianheng.
• Tianlin secretly passed Yu Tianheng a note, then returned to the Main Hall with Ning Fengzhi, expecting Golden Crocodile to wake soon.

Tianlin staged Golden Crocodile Douluo’s apparent death to mislead Yu Luomian and conceal a plan to investigate the Four-Winged Fallen Angel. Golden Crocodile revived and immediately realized Tianlin wanted him to investigate the enemy from the shadows.

• Qian Daoliu reasoned that Tianlin had not truly killed Golden Crocodile and predicted that Ning Fengzhi would try to contact him again.
• Yin Yang caught up with Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Subduing Demon Douluo as they traveled away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Tianlin explained that he had let Yu Luomian witness Golden Crocodile’s apparent death so he could carry false information back to his master.
• Tianlin revived Golden Crocodile with electric stimulation after Gu Ran stopped the bleeding from his wound.
• Golden Crocodile told Tianlin he would secretly investigate the Four-Winged Fallen Angel and asked him to identify the spies and other clues he had discovered.
• Tianlin was astonished that Golden Crocodile had inferred his entire plan without needing an explanation.

Tianlin secured Golden Crocodile Douluo’s temporary cooperation against the Fallen Angels, though Golden Crocodile still intended to settle Spirit Hall’s grudge with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect later. At the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Beng used accusations against Xue Qinghe to take power while Xue Ye remained unconscious, but he had not yet officially become Crown Prince.

• Tianlin gave Golden Crocodile a map of suspected Fallen Angel locations, and Golden Crocodile accepted the investigation while warning that he still considered Tianlin an enemy.
• Golden Crocodile gave Tianlin a token promising one request, and Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi made clear that Spirit Hall should avoid provoking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Imperial physicians and Tang San discovered that Xue Ye had been poisoned, and Ning Fengzhi agreed to send Dugu Bo to help treat him.
• Xue Beng accused Xue Qinghe of poisoning Xue Ye and murdering the previous princes, while Prince Xue Xing testified in support of the accusation.
• Nobles backed Xue Beng, and he took power in the Heaven Dou Empire despite the common people’s belief that Xue Qinghe had been wronged.
• Tang San gained influence alongside Xue Beng, who remained short of formally becoming Crown Prince because Xue Ye had not awakened.

Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo treated Xue Ye, with Dugu Bo removing his poison and Ning Fengzhi using a secret technique to awaken him at the cost of most of his remaining lifespan. Xue Ye awoke and learned of the court’s upheaval, while Xue Beng concealed his ambitions and Xue Ye privately resented Ning Fengzhi for leaving him only five years to live.

• Ning Fengzhi brought Dugu Bo and Gu Rong to the palace, where officials treated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with suspicion because of its ties to Xue Qinghe.
• Dugu Bo identified Xue Ye’s poison, then claimed he could remove only seventy percent of it; Ning Fengzhi offered a secret technique that could awaken Xue Ye but leave him five to seven years to live.
• Xue Beng overruled Ge Long and the ministers who opposed the treatment, privately viewing Xue Ye’s illness as a chance to build his influence and eventually dispose of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Dugu Bo removed Xue Ye’s poison, and Ning Fengzhi used the secret technique to awaken him after half a day, leaving him vigorous but with only about five years to live.
• Ge Long and Xue Xing told Xue Ye about Xue Qinghe’s betrayal and Xue Beng’s actions; Xue Beng wept and claimed he had endured hardship for the empire.
• Xue Ye thanked Ning Fengzhi but privately resented him for the shortened lifespan, while recognizing that the empire still needed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Xue Beng used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s refusal to fight Spirit Hall to the death to deepen Xue Ye’s dissatisfaction and propose winning over the Clear Sky Sect through Tang San. Xue Ye approved the plan, seeing it as a way to balance the great sects and reduce his reliance on Ning Fengzhi.

• Xue Ye condemned Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Plan, while Xue Beng praised the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and admitted that he had once led an army against it under Spirit Hall’s control.
• Xue Beng apologized to Ning Fengzhi, then questioned him about the fate of Qian Daoliu and Subduing Demon Douluo.
• Ning Fengzhi said the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had killed Golden Crocodile Douluo but released Subduing Demon Douluo after Qian Daoliu promised not to attack the sect again.
• After Ning Fengzhi left, Xue Ye angrily accused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect of putting its own interests first but acknowledged that the empire still needed its strength.
• Xue Beng proposed using Tang San’s talents, Hidden Weapons, and connection to Tang Hao to win the Clear Sky Sect’s support for the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Xue Ye approved Xue Beng’s plan and saw the Clear Sky Sect as a way to balance the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and rely less on Ning Fengzhi.
