Song Wen negotiated the Asura Sect’s submission to the Nine Palaces Sect while fighting Tai He, securing terms that protected his sect’s interests.

Chen Feihe killed them, but feared the Corpse Demon Sect would pursue him, and asked Song Wen for release; Song Wen urged him not to give up.

Song Wen sent Chen Feihe to the Corpse Demon Sect to summon Zhang Xiaofan under the name Extreme Yin, offering to settle the old grievances involving Chen Yi. Zhang Xiaofan initially refused, but Chen Yi’s name provoked Lu Chan’s jealousy and stirred his resentment toward her.

• Song Wen consumed the blood essence and souls of Gongsun Jian and the Sixth Elder, destroyed the evidence, and took Chen Feihe toward the Corpse Demon Sect.

• Zhang Xiaofan took Lu Cang and Lu Chan through the sect gate and flew with them to the valley where Song Wen was waiting.

As the group searched Blood Corpse Street and found no trace of him, Zhang Xiaofan received a faint pulse from the Jade Slip linked to Extreme Yin.

• Zhang Xiaofan claimed his dragon token could track Extreme Yin through Lu Chan's phoenix token, and Miao Tong agreed to gather help before pursuing him.
• While Miao Tong was away, Zhang Xiaofan took healing pills and calculated how to time their departure to meet Song Wen at the market town without exposing his lie.
• Miao Tong returned with Ba Feng and Hao Man after checking records and an elder's account, then Zhang Xiaofan claimed Extreme Yin had moved near the market town.

• Song Wen planted a Soul-Locking Curse in Miao Tong and ordered him to bring back the Dead Man's Vine within an hour.

• Yu Wen told Song Wen that Primordial Unity Temple had demanded the Asura Sect secretly take control of Boundary Mountain Market.

Song Wen consolidated the Asura Sect’s control over Boundary Mountain Market while gathering materials and gifts for his subordinates and Zhou Siyi. He then tested a new Heaven-Returning Pill formula, producing a toxic pill that the Nether Fox refused to take.

• Song Wen agreed with Ding Yan that Primordial Unity Temple intended to reclaim Boundary Mountain and decided to use the Nine Palaces Sect to disrupt any further plans.
• Song Wen ordered Yu Wen to force the two remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators in Boundary Mountain Market to join the Asura Sect or die.

• Song Wen visited Zhou Siyi at Azure Gauze Mountain, gave her the Marrow Jade Vine and cultivation pills, then went to his cave dwelling to test the new Blood Demon Pill formula.
• Song Wen refined two pitted, corrosive pills and called out the Nether Fox to test one, but the Nether Fox suspected poison and fled back into its spirit beast pouch.

Song Wen sought a poison-resistant demon beast to test his newly refined Blood Demon Pill, and Zhou Siyi directed him toward the Pure Sea while asking him to accompany her to East Birch Market. There, Fang Pengyi revealed that he recognized Zhou Siyi as Elder Zhou and refused to honor their trade as agreed.

• Song Wen showed Zhou Siyi his toxic Blood Demon Pill, and she warned him that testing it on a demon beast might not prove it safe for a human.
• Zhou Siyi suggested the Pure Sea's third-rank Poison Flood Dragon as a test subject and asked Song Wen to escort her to East Birch Market to meet Fang Pengyi.
• Song Wen and Zhou Siyi traveled to East Birch Market, where Zhou Siyi met Fang Pengyi alone and exchanged one hundred Superior Spirit Stones for the promised spirit herb seeds.
• After Zhou Siyi displayed the agreed payment, Fang Pengyi called her Zhou Siyi and Elder Zhou, then claimed the seeds were worth far more than one hundred Superior Spirit Stones.

Zhou Siyi confronted Fang Pengyi after he exposed her identity and demanded the secret Man-Snake breeding method. Song Wen trapped Fang Pengyi in blood qi and escaped with Zhou Siyi, but Mi He later discovered Fang Pengyi’s soul lamp had gone out.

• Song Wen revealed his identity as Wu Sheng to Fang Pengyi and demanded to know why he had sought the Man-Snake breeding method.
• Fang Pengyi said Yan Yuyan of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect had ordered him to steal the method, but he claimed not to know what Profound Qi was used for.

• Song Wen and Zhou Siyi agreed to act as though the transaction had never happened and continue toward the Pure Sea to capture the poisonous flood dragon.
• Song Wen noticed a market ahead and identified it as Ultimate Bliss City, where Zhou Siyi teased him about entering the Blissful Union Sect's pleasure towers.
• Song Wen declined to enter Ultimate Bliss City because of his entanglements with Fairy Lan Chen and flew around it instead.

Song Wen and Zhou Siyi searched Pure Sea for a venomous flood dragon and discovered Mu Yunxin hunting Giant Spirit Clams for Illusory Rainbow Pearls. As Song Wen prepared to intercept the clams for Zhou Siyi, two Golden Core monks from Primordial Unity Temple arrived, leaving Song Wen waiting to learn their purpose.

• Song Wen and Zhou Siyi found Mu Yunxin and two Foundation Establishment cultivators refining and using Demon-Luring Powder on a nearby island.
• Mu Yunxin killed a Giant Spirit Clam and took its Illusory Rainbow Pearl while the other cultivators cleared away the lesser demon beasts.
• Song Wen identified the clams as Giant Spirit Clams, and Zhou Siyi asked him to intercept them for their Illusory Rainbow Pearls.
• Song Wen detected two Golden Core monks from Primordial Unity Temple arriving, so he held back to observe their intentions.
