Chapter Summaries

The Wind Snow Pavilion prepared for war against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue discussed their forces and Jun Xuehan insisted he would fight despite his injury. Two Sword Sect disciples arrived claiming to have intelligence about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Jun Xuehan agreed to hear them out.

• The Wind Snow Pavilion gathered its allied forces, including Dugu Bo, Yang Wushuang, Ci Xue, She Long, and Soul Masters from the Crown Prince's Palace, in preparation for war.
• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue reviewed their forces and discussed their advantage in high-level fighters; Qian Renxue wanted to accompany him, but he insisted she remain protected.
• Wang Qiu'er complained to Xiao Wu that the coming war and the pavilion's restrictions had made her bored, while Xiao Wu looked forward to reaching Soul Sage and transforming into a human.
• Ci Xue reported that two masked Sword Sect disciples had come to see Qian Renxue, and Jun Xuehan took her to meet them in the Front Hall.
• Shen Jian claimed that he and his companion knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's layout and personnel deployment, so Jun Xuehan asked him to provide the information before accepting them.

Ning Rongrong attempted to assassinate Jun Xuehan at Wind Snow Pavilion, but he disarmed her and let her return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect because of Chen Xin's dying request. Qian Renxue beat Ning Rongrong, while Jun Xuehan ordered Shen Jian killed after deciding he was useless.

• Ning Rongrong disguised herself and brought Jun Xuehan a scroll hiding a dagger, then tried to stab him.
• Jun Xuehan caught the dagger, and Qian Renxue seized Ning Rongrong; Shen Jian denied helping with the assassination.
• Jun Xuehan spared Ning Rongrong for Chen Xin's sake and sent her back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Qian Renxue slapped Ning Rongrong repeatedly before warning her to leave Wind Snow Pavilion.
• Shen Jian asked to leave, but Jun Xuehan ordered him killed when he said he knew nothing useful.

Shen Jian offered the Wind Snow Pavilion intelligence on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and helped secure the Sword Sect’s cooperation, though the Sword Sect demanded an equal share of the spoils. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong discussed the sect’s isolation and whether to strike first, leaving Ning Fengzhi opposed to the idea.

• Shen Jian offered to draw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s layout and personnel deployment and wrote a letter asking the Sword Sect to cooperate with the Wind Snow Pavilion.
• Jun Xuehan ordered Shen Jian held until the Sword Sect replied, then studied his map with Qian Renxue to plan an attack.
• The Sword Sect agreed to cooperate on the condition that it split the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect evenly with the Wind Snow Pavilion, and Jun Xuehan accepted for the time being.
• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue discussed dealing with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and later addressing the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
• Gu Rong asked Ning Fengzhi whether they should seek help from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the Clear Sky Sect, but Ning Fengzhi explained why neither could help.
• Gu Rong suggested striking the Wind Snow Pavilion first, but Ning Fengzhi said the plan would not work.

After Ning Rongrong returned from her failed attempt to avenge Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi confined her to the back mountain and prepared the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for the coming conflict. Half a month later, Jun Xuehan sent the Wind Snow Pavilion’s forces to attack the sect from the front, both flanks, and back mountain, then left with Qian Renxue to await Ning Fengzhi.

• Ning Fengzhi warned Gu Rong that attacking the Wind Snow Pavilion risked leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect defenseless if Gu Rong were held back.
• Ning Rongrong returned unharmed and told Gu Rong that Jun Xuehan had let her go because it was Sword Douluo’s dying wish.
• Ning Fengzhi ordered Ning Rongrong to kneel at the back mountain and remain there until he gave permission, and she accepted that she had been wrong.
• After half a month of both sides gathering their forces, Jun Xuehan ordered Zi Ji and Dugu Bo to lead a frontal attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect while She Long and Ci Xue attacked its flanks.
• Jun Xuehan assigned Xiao Wu to guard the back mountain according to the signal flares and privately gave Wang Qiu'er her own instructions.
• Jun Xuehan told Qian Renxue he would not let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect escape and left with her to await Ning Fengzhi.

Shen Luotian betrayed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by opening its gates for Wind Snow Pavilion’s assault, and Zi Ji, Dugu Bo, She Long, and Ci Xue led the attackers into a fierce battle. Ning Fengzhi was poisoned and Gu Rong was overwhelmed, leaving Gu Rong to hold off the attackers while Ning Fengzhi evacuated Ning Rong Rong and the direct-line disciples.

• Shen Luotian and the Sword Sect disciples killed the gate guards and fired a signal flare, summoning Zi Ji and Dugu Bo’s forces.
• Zi Ji, Dugu Bo, She Long, and Ci Xue led the assault into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as fighting and fires spread through the sect.
• Gu Rong fought She Long and Ci Xue, then faced Zi Ji as Ning Fengzhi’s support helped him resist their combined attacks.
• Dugu Bo poisoned Ning Fengzhi, who recognized the Jade Scale Snake Poison and used his Soul Power to suppress it.
• Zi Ji blasted Gu Rong through several houses, and Gu Rong told Ning Fengzhi to take Ning Rong Rong and the direct-line disciples and escape while he held the attackers back.

As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fell under Wind Snow Pavilion’s assault, Ning Fengzhi realized the apparent escape route through the back mountain was a trap and led Ning Rongrong onto a different path. There, two figures waited for them, while Di Tian and Wang Qiu'er ensured no one could escape from the mountain.

• Ning Fengzhi, poisoned and overwhelmed by the battle, ordered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples to withdraw through the back mountain after Ning Rongrong reached him.
• Gu Rong refused to flee, choosing to stay and join Chen Xin in death, while Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong headed toward the back mountain.
• After seeing a second signal flare, Ning Fengzhi directed Ning Rongrong away from the main escape path and warned her to obey him without speaking.
• Xiao Wu signaled the ambush on the mountain path, while Di Tian revealed he had come to ensure Jun Xuehan’s plan succeeded and Wang Qiu'er called on the Affiliated Sects to surrender.
• The Affiliated Sects turned on nearby Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples and surrendered to Wind Snow Pavilion.
• Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong encountered a white-clad young man seated at a chessboard and a woman in a palace dress, and Ning Fengzhi stopped Rongrong from speaking.

Jun Xuehan confronted Ning Fengzhi after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s defeat, and Ning Fengzhi made Ning Rongrong swear to renounce the sect and any revenge before taking his own life. Gu Rong also died in battle, leaving the sect destroyed as Jun Xuehan ordered his forces to bury the dead, spare noncombatants, and punish anyone who abused civilians.

• Jun Xuehan asked Ning Fengzhi to choose how Black would proceed in a chess game, while Ning Rongrong offered the sect’s wealth in exchange for the survivors’ freedom.
• Ning Fengzhi admitted he would still have ordered Chen Xin and Gu Rong to assassinate Jun Xuehan, then ordered Ning Rongrong to swear she would leave the sect and never seek revenge.
• Ning Rongrong took the oath, and Ning Fengzhi thanked Jun Xuehan for preserving a trace of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s Core Flame before sending Ning Rongrong away with instructions for her future.
• Ning Fengzhi collapsed and died, while Zi Ji and Snake Lance killed Gu Rong outside the garden.
• Jun Xuehan ordered Gu Rong buried beside Chen Xin, directed his forces to treat the wounded and protect civilians, and killed a Soul Master who was assaulting a maid.
• She Long and Ci Xue carried Gu Rong’s body toward the back mountain for burial.

Wind Snow Pavilion took control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s resources after its destruction, while Jun Xuehan dealt with the Sword Sect and provided for the fallen Soul Masters’ families. Ning Rongrong fled to Vast Sea City, and Wind Snow Pavilion rose as one of the Upper Three Sects.

• Jun Xuehan rejected Shen Luotian’s claim to half the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s resources because the agreement had been signed by Gu Yu Yuan, then sent She Long and Ci Xue with Shen Luotian to collect what they could carry.
• Jun Xuehan let the former maids choose between staying with Wind Snow Pavilion or taking ten Gold Soul Coins to start anew, and ordered ten percent of Wind Snow Pavilion’s funds given to fallen Soul Masters’ families.
• She Long and Ci Xue shut Shen Luotian and the Sword Sect inside the treasure vault, then emerged with Wind Snow Pavilion after the Sword Sect members never came out.
• Wind Snow Pavilion left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which soon burned; Ning Rongrong buried Ning Fengzhi and fled at night toward Vast Sea City.
• The fire reduced the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to ruins, and Wind Snow Pavilion became one of the newly ascended Upper Three Sects.

After the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed, Wind Snow Pavilion gained greater influence, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan considered an alliance with it against Spirit Hall. Yu Yuanzhen sent Yu Luomian to arrange an invitation for Jun Xuehan, leaving Yu Tianheng unsure whether his limited acquaintance with Jun Xuehan would help.

• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue returned Zi Ji to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace after Wind Snow Pavilion completed its arrangements.
• Yu Yuanzhen warned Yu Luomian not to provoke Wind Snow Pavilion and rejected the idea of joining Spirit Hall, deciding instead to seek an alliance with Jun Xuehan.
• Yu Luomian questioned whether Wind Snow Pavilion would cooperate, given its hostility with the Clear Sky Sect, but Yu Yuanzhen insisted on contacting its Pavilion Master.
• Yu Yuanzhen instructed Yu Luomian to bring valuable gifts and invite Jun Xuehan to discuss a united front.
• Yu Luomian asked Yu Tianheng to learn Jun Xuehan's interests and prepare the invitation, but Yu Tianheng admitted they were barely acquainted.

Yu Tianheng prepared to invite Jun Xuehan to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while Tang San returned to Shrek Academy after three years away, newly empowered and determined to confront Jun Xuehan. After learning that Wind Snow Pavilion had destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tang San considered seeking the Clear Sky Sect’s help but did not know where it was hidden.

• Yu Luomian told Yu Tianheng to deliver an invitation to Jun Xuehan, and Yu Tianheng admitted he and Yanzi had grown distant.

• Tang San revealed he had become a seven-ring Soul Sage, gained stronger Soul Rings, and received a trident from a god-level senior on Sea God Island.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San that Jun Xuehan’s Wind Snow Pavilion had destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and suggested asking the Clear Sky Sect to emerge from seclusion.
• Tang San agreed the Clear Sky Sect could help but lamented that he had no way to locate its hidden retreat.

Tang San learned that Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were away on separate training journeys, while Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue relaxed by a stream and discussed their unborn child and the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Their outing was interrupted by thick black smoke, and She Long went to investigate after children ran toward it.

• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were traveling the continent and Oscar was training in the Far North, and Tang San agreed to visit the Strength Clan.
• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue discussed her pregnancy, the child’s possible Martial Soul, and their plans to take control of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue noticed thick black smoke rising to the west as children ran toward it.
• Qian Renxue sent She Long to find out what had happened, and he swiftly headed toward the smoke.

She Long reported that a village had been burned by martial-soul flames and brought its surviving children to Jun Xuehan, who arranged for Wind Snow Pavilion to care for them. Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue went to an auction in Heaven Dou City, where Qian Renxue sensed an unsettling aura at Shrek Academy and Jun Xuehan resolved to investigate it and settle his matter with Yu Xiaogang.

• She Long found no survivors in the burning village and returned with the children who had been playing by the river.
• Jun Xuehan ordered She Long to take the children to Wind Snow Pavilion, where they could stay or receive support once they were old enough to choose.
• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue headed to Heaven Dou City to attend an auction at Qian Renxue's suggestion.
• Qian Renxue sensed an uncomfortable aura at Shrek Academy, and Jun Xuehan decided he would investigate and deal with Yu Xiaogang.
• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue entered the Heaven Dou Auction House, took seats in the red area, and were approached by a staff member carrying tea.

Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue bought a girl at auction and brought her to Wind Snow Pavilion as a maid, offering her wages and freedom after she repaid her purchase price. As they arrived at the pavilion, Yu Tianheng appeared with gifts and said he had come to speak with Jun Xuehan.

• Qian Renxue bid five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for a girl in an iron cage, while Jun Xuehan confronted Prince Xue Xing when he tried to intimidate them.
• Jun Xuehan paid for the girl, and Qian Renxue offered her a maid's position, wages, and the chance to leave after repaying the cost.
• Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue decided the girl would stay at Wind Snow Pavilion and discussed expanding the building with Niu Gao.
• As Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue reached Wind Snow Pavilion with the girl, Yu Tianheng arrived carrying gift boxes and asked Jun Xuehan to wait.

Jun Xuehan received Yu Tianheng at Wind Snow Pavilion and insisted that Yu Yuanzhen come meet him in person. Yu Yuanzhen arrived and hinted that he had come with an important matter, but the chapter ended before he revealed it.

• Yu Tianheng brought gifts from Yu Yuanzhen and asked Jun Xuehan to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Jun Xuehan accepted the gifts but told Yu Tianheng that Yu Yuanzhen had to come to Wind Snow Pavilion himself that day.

• A disciple announced Yu Yuanzhen's arrival, and Jun Xuehan invited him to sit and have tea.
• Yu Yuanzhen praised Jun Xuehan's rise and said he had not come to reclaim the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's honor.

Yu Yuanzhen asked Jun Xuehan to have Wind Snow Pavilion join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in a united front against Spirit Hall. Jun Xuehan questioned the alliance’s past failures and said he would consult the pavilion’s higher-ups before giving an answer.

• Yu Yuanzhen praised Jun Xuehan’s talent and said only Spirit Hall and perhaps the reclusive Clear Sky Sect could challenge him.
• Jun Xuehan defended Spirit Hall’s support for commoners, while Yu Yuanzhen warned of its ambition and proposed that Wind Snow Pavilion replace the destroyed Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in an alliance.
• Jun Xuehan challenged Yu Yuanzhen over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s failure to aid the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained that the clan had lacked time to respond to the Clear Sky Sect’s crisis and had received no plea for help from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Jun Xuehan said Wind Snow Pavilion needed to discuss the proposal internally, and Yu Yuanzhen asked him to provide an answer as soon as possible.

Jun Xuehan investigated Shrek Academy at night after Qian Renxue said its aura made her uneasy, but found no Evil Soul Masters. After spotting Yu Xiaogang leaving the academy, Jun Xuehan prepared a gift for him and secretly poured something from a jade bottle into Liu Erlong’s warm water.

• Jun Xuehan told Qian Renxue that Yu Yuanzhen had asked Wind Snow Pavilion to replace the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in a united front against Spirit Hall.
• Jun Xuehan told Qian Renxue he would investigate Shrek Academy and visit the Extreme North Region, then left for Shrek that night.
• Jun Xuehan searched Shrek Academy with his Mental Power and found no Evil Soul Masters, though he spotted Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.
• Jun Xuehan saw Yu Xiaogang leave the Teaching Building and decided to prepare a grand gift for him.
• Jun Xuehan returned to Shrek, entered Liu Erlong’s empty room, and poured the contents of a jade bottle into her warm water.

Jun Xuehan drugged Liu Erlong and arranged for her to wake up in bed with Flender, then watched Yu Xiaogang discover them and collapse in rage. Yu Xiaogang fled Shrek Academy, while Tang San caught up with him and tried to suggest a hidden explanation.

• Jun Xuehan watched Flender and Liu Erlong, then carried the drugged Liu Erlong into Flender's room.
• Yu Xiaogang and Tang San returned to Shrek Academy, and Yu Xiaogang found Flender and Liu Erlong in bed together.
• Liu Erlong slapped Flender, while Yu Xiaogang spat blood and ran out of the academy.
• Tang San chased after Yu Xiaogang and suggested that Liu Erlong might have had a hidden reason, but Yu Xiaogang rejected the idea.
• Jun Xuehan watched from an ancient tree and realized that Tang San had returned to Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang left Shrek Academy with Tang San to search for the Clear Sky Sect, but Jun Xuehan followed and confronted them outside Heaven Dou City. Jun Xuehan and Tang San began a fierce duel, which left Tang San struggling against Jun Xuehan’s superior weapon skill.

• Yu Xiaogang angrily left Shrek Academy with Tang San, and Jun Xuehan secretly followed them.
• Jun Xuehan revealed himself outside Heaven Dou City and challenged Tang San, while Yu Xiaogang prepared to assist from the side.
• Jun Xuehan’s Silver Dragon Spear overwhelmed Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer and sent him crashing through a tree.
• Tang San countered with the Sea God Trident, forcing Jun Xuehan back before Jun Xuehan switched to the Reverse Scale God Slaying Spear.
• Jun Xuehan and Tang San exchanged techniques with their divine weapons, and Jun Xuehan recognized that Tang San’s trident skills were limited and poorly executed.

Jun Xuehan defeated Tang San and seized the chance to take the Sea God Trident with Gu Yuena’s help. The Sea God discovered that his artifact was gone and confronted Tang San as he fled.

• Yu Xiaogang shouted to Tang San that he would fetch help, distracting Tang San and allowing Jun Xuehan to knock him down and disarm him.
• The Sea God Trident’s remaining divine power blocked Jun Xuehan’s spear, and Tang San fled, leaving the trident behind because it had become too heavy to lift.
• Jun Xuehan tried to lift the Sea God Trident but could only make it sway, so he went to the Star Dou Great Forest to ask Gu Yuena for help.
• Gu Yuena pulled the Sea God Trident from the ground, severed its connection to the Sea God, and returned with Jun Xuehan to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• The Sea God sensed the loss of his artifact, searched the continent for it, and demanded that the fleeing Tang San reveal where it was.

Tang San learned that the Sea God Trident had vanished and was ordered to search the continent for it. At the Lake of Life, Jun Xuehan learned Gu Yuena had hidden the Trident and traveled through her Space Rift to the Extreme North Region to explain Ice Empress’s actions to Snow Empress.

• Tang San told the Sea God that Jun Xuehan had defeated him and asked for the Sea God Trident to be reclaimed, but the Sea God demanded to know where it was.
• The Sea God revealed he could no longer sense the Sea God Trident and ordered Tang San to find it and report its whereabouts through Divine Sense.
• Gu Yuena told Jun Xuehan she had severed the connection between the Sea God Trident and the Sea God, keeping the artifact in her Fantasy Space.
• Jun Xuehan asked Gu Yuena to open a Space Rift to the Extreme North Region, and she agreed.
• Jun Xuehan declined Gu Yuena’s offer to send Di Tian with him and left to explain Ice Empress’s actions to Snow Empress.
