Yin Hongye had Di Qiuer, Na'er, and Yuanen Yehui fight and kill a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, while factions watching the Heavenly Screen sought the beast in Star Dou Forest.

Yin Hongye and his allies defeated Da Ming and Er Ming in battle and forced Da Ming to explain how Tang San’s actions as Sea God weakened the Plane Lord’s control over the ocean.

• Yin Hongye killed Er Ming and Da Ming, then refined Er Ming’s remains into Titan Giant Ape blood essence and gave it to Yuanen Yehui.

• Yin Hongye explained that his luck grew through killing enemies and taking their fortune, then described his mother’s death and his father’s attempt to kill him.
• Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen argued that Tang Hao’s decision to travel with pregnant Ah Yin made her exposure and sacrifice seem suspicious, and Qian Renxue found their reasoning difficult to refute.

• A hundred-thousand-year Deep Sea Demon Whale surfaced beside the fleet, and Yin Hongye recognized it as likely Lan Fozi.

As the Hua family and Spirit Pagoda leaders argued over how to survive his arrival, someone burst into their meeting and declared they would all die.

• Yin Hongye told Qian Renxue and Mu Hongchen that Dou Ling had suffered from inbreeding, had a population of just over twenty million, and was seeking aid from the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda.

• Qian Renxue asked why a Spirit Pagoda member had become an Evil Soul Master, and Yin Hongye said it was connected to Shrek Academy.

At the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En blamed Yan Shaozhe for Shrek Academy’s ties to Evil Soul Masters, and Yan Shaozhe wondered why the blame fell on him when Mu En had taught him.

• Yin Hongye linked several Evil Soul Masters to Shrek Academy and said Leng Yulai’s fall stemmed from her love for Yun Ming.

• Mu Hongchen and Yin Hongye mocked Leng Yulai for assuming the embrace meant her sister had confessed and succeeded.
• Qian Renxue questioned whether that misunderstanding alone had turned Leng Yulai into an Evil Soul Master, and Yin Hongye confirmed it.
• At the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En blamed Yan Shaozhe for Shrek Academy’s connection to Evil Soul Masters, and Yan Shaozhe protested that Mu En had taught him.

Yin Hongye had Qian Renxue purify the cursed researchers, then learned they were developing an emotion-erasing Inhibitor and demonstrated how to make it by hand. Mu Hongchen deduced that the Inhibitor was intended for the Demon Empress, exposing her involvement without her appearing.

• Lang Yue and Tang Ziran explained that they were researching an Inhibitor that suppressed Ferocious Beasts' emotions and erased emotions in humans.
• Yin Hongye prepared a dose by hand, and Lang Yue confirmed it was purer than the laboratory's version.
• Mu Hongchen reasoned that the Inhibitor was intended for the Demon Empress, whose mental problems followed from devouring too many souls.

Meanwhile, the Federation conquered the Dou Ling Continent with a force of eight hundred, and Yin Hongye prepared to return with Leng Yulai.
