• Qin Yu realized the stone from Wang Feng’s Storage Ring let the Blood Sect sense its general direction and decided to ask Captain Wu about it.

Qin Yu prepared to enter the Black-Corner Region with Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian after Blood Sect members infiltrated Peace Town and the academy identified the Blood Stone as a reason they might keep coming. The group set out to destroy the Blood Stone and potentially confront the Blood Sect, while Qin Yu advised Xiao Yi Xian to stay alert.

Qin Yu completed the Poe Dan, restoring Hai Bo Dong’s Dou Emperor strength in exchange for his protection of a mother and daughter in a frontier city.
