Jiang Shu disguised himself as Gold Horn while surviving Starfall Road with the Demon Race Heavenly Prides, then reached the core of the Fallen Star Abyss.

• Old Ancestor Fentian attacked Jiang Shu, but Huang Ya calmed him by invoking Gold Horn’s Ancestor Dragon Bloodline and the mission to kill Jiang Tai Xuan.
• Huang Ya cited Dragon Venerable’s will and the Imperial Palace’s command, persuading Fentian to draw Jiang Shu to the array’s central cushion and guide his breakthrough.
