The Battle Immortal King ordered Black Rock Island to make amends to the Black Tower Tribe and warned against recruiting Fang, while Xiao Ying tried to avoid the growing attention surrounding his reputation as a Supreme Genius.

The Black Tower Tribe fought back against Protector Chen and three local factions attacking the Galan Immortal Warship, turning Black Rock Island’s harbor into a sprawling battle. As the Battle Immortal King allowed the fighting to continue, Gu Lingyun suggested the Black Tower High Priest was making a display to deter the many factions seeking to approach him.

• Heavenly Tribulation struck, and the Heaven-Supporting Pagoda flew up to meet it as the Blood Xuan Witch King urged Xiao Ying to summon it and then realized Xiao Ying had not lost his mind.

Xiao Ying led the Black Tower Tribe through a heavenly tribulation that strengthened the tribe and advanced most of its members into the Witch Clan. As the final wave approached, the Battle Immortal King warned that powerful enemies were watching, and revealed that the Blackwater Immortal Emperor had forbidden her and Black Rock Island from intervening.
