• Hu Liena recalled Spirit Hall’s loss to the Seven Monsters of Great Love and swore to catch up to Fang Yuan.

Hu Liena came to Slaughter City to grow stronger and witnessed Fang Yuan single-handedly slaughter a crowd that had ambushed him. Fang Yuan recognized her, while Hu Liena felt unsettled under his gaze.

• Hu Liena left Spirit Hall for Slaughter City, hoping to strengthen herself and help Bibi Dong capture Fang Yuan.
• At the Hell Slaughter Arena, Hu Liena learned that a crowd planned to ambush the Mysterious Masked Man, 9527.

• Hu Liena met Fang Yuan's gaze and felt her heartbeat skip, attributing her reaction to his strength and bloodlust.

• Fang Yuan considered whether to kill Hu Liena or use their encounter to his advantage, then denied being the Mysterious Masked Man and announced his chosen title, Heaven-Refining Demon Venerable.

• A month later, Fang Yuan had reached thirty-two victories after fighting only two matches, as the Hell Slaughter Arena delayed arranging opponents.

• Fang Yuan followed the envoy deep beneath the arena and entered the King of Slaughter’s dark chamber alone.

Fang Yuan met Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, who tried to recruit him with a special cup of Bloody Mary. Fang Yuan refused and revealed that he sought the Divine Slaughter's Domain, prompting the King of Slaughter to suspect that Clear Sky Douluo had sent him.

• Fang Yuan recognized that the King of Slaughter was Tang Chen, parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King, and decided not to fight him before obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.

• Fang Yuan refused the drink and told the King of Slaughter that he had come for the Divine Slaughter's Domain and did not intend to threaten his rule.
• The King of Slaughter questioned how Fang Yuan knew about the domain, then concluded that Clear Sky Douluo had likely sent him and sat back down.

Fang Yuan persuaded the King of Slaughter to let him continue competing, then left Slaughter City’s ruler behind to kill a concubine who questioned his decision. After another difficult arena victory, Fang Yuan met Hu Liena, who asked how he had avoided being corrupted by Slaughter City’s killing aura.

• Hu Liena waited for Fang Yuan after her own match and said she wanted to seek his guidance.
• Fang Yuan mistook Hu Liena’s request for a challenge until she clarified that she wanted to know why the killing aura had not corrupted him.

• Fang Yuan advised Hu Liena to drink less Bloody Mary, and she decided to quit it despite the difficulty.
• Fang Yuan’s Hell Slaughter Arena matches were no longer deliberately controlled, and the arena assigned him weaker opponents when none had comparable victory records.

• Fang Yuan delayed his final arena match while Hu Liena overcame her dependence on Bloody Mary and rapidly increased her victories.

• Tang Chen offered Fang Yuan and Hu Liena Slaughter God titles and high-ranking positions if they stayed in Slaughter City, but both refused.
• Tang Chen sent Fang Yuan and Hu Liena into the Hell Road trial through a blood-red bat formation.
• Hu Liena collapsed on the circular platform, then steadied her breathing until the blood mist around her disappeared.

Fang Yuan explained how the King of Slaughter used the toxin in Bloody Mary to control Slaughter City’s residents, then revealed that he had thrown a herb into the abyss to multiply its viruses and destroy the city. He and Hu Liena continued along the Hell Road, with Hu Liena trying to get closer to her enigmatic teammate.

• Fang Yuan told Hu Liena that the King of Slaughter could trigger a toxin in human blood, explaining why people became mad while attempting the Hell Road.
• Fang Yuan threw a snow-white herb into the crimson sea, explaining that it multiplied other viruses and that Slaughter City’s fate did not matter to him.
• Hu Liena was shocked by Fang Yuan’s plan but began to admire his resolve and briefly imagined letting him lead Spirit Hall.
• Fang Yuan started across the narrow path, and Hu Liena followed, offering him a rope made from her outer garment.
• As the path grew hotter, Hu Liena introduced herself as a member of Spirit Hall, but Fang Yuan did not answer.

Fang Yuan and Hu Liena escaped a swarm of blood-red bats by using Soul Tool Propellers, but Hu Liena recognized the equipment and accused him of being the Heaven-Refining Demon Venerable. Fang Yuan denied being Fang Yuan, and Hu Liena began to doubt her accusation.

• Hu Liena questioned Fang Yuan about his Soul Tool, and he claimed that he came from beyond Douluo Continent.

• Fang Yuan told Hu Liena to lead the way, but she noticed her revealing outfit and moved back behind him.
