Qiangu Dongfeng told Qian Gu Dieting that Bai Chen, a thirteen-year-old Soul Saint with near-Limit Douluo combat strength, posed a great future threat as the Spirit Pagoda faced pressure from Shrek and Tang Sect. As they searched for the traitor uniting Spirit Pagoda factions against them, they focused on the mysterious family behind Gu Yue, whose origins and motives remained unclear.
