Xu Huxiao arrived in time to stabilize the dying Hua Yuerong and seal the dangerous turbid qi inside her, then confronted the Soul Masters surrounding them. His tokens and identity as Demon Bear Douluo Xu Bayan’s son restrained the Spirit Hall leaders, though their greed for his possible Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone remained.

• Xu Huxiao blasted back the surrounding Soul Masters with his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and used Yang Origin Soul Power to stabilize Hua Yuerong.
• Xu Huxiao determined that he could not safely purge Hua Yuerong’s Killing-Baleful Turbid Qi, so he sealed her inside a golden cocoon and told Ouyang Xiaoyu to guard her.

• Xue Qingyang and Tian Can respectfully greeted Xu Huxiao and asked why he had come, while still harboring some greed.

• Lilith and Gui Mei arrived, and Lilith revealed herself as the Blizzard Soul Sage, Black Widow, before joining Xu Huxiao's side.

Gui Mei secretly revealed his identity to Tian Can and Xue Qingyang, forcing them to help Xu Huxiao and punish those who obstructed him. After Huo Zhenkong arrived, Xu Huxiao took the Golden Cocoon containing Hua Yuerong to Fire Dragon Fortress for treatment.

• Gui Mei frightened Tian Can through Sound Thread Transmission, and Tian Can cut off his hand before ordering his forces to escort Xu Huxiao's group.
• Tian Can secretly told Xue Qingyang that the black-robed Ghost Child was Gui Mei, and Gui Mei ordered Xue Qingyang to kill Hu Meng within three days to spare his life.
• Tian Can and Xue Qingyang declared that anyone who obstructed Xu Huxiao would face Spirit Hall's retaliation, leaving Meng Qingcheng, Hu Meng, and Shi Zhong wary and confused.
• Huo Zhenkong arrived with Climbing Spider Carts and reunited with Ouyang Xiaoyu, who told him Huo Wu and Wushuang were safe.
• Ouyang Xiaoyu invited Xu Huxiao to Fire Dragon Fortress, where records about the Golden Tree Heart could help Hua Yuerong, and Xu Huxiao flew there with her and the Golden Cocoon.

After Spirit Hall sided with the Third Princess, Meng Qingcheng and Hu Meng retreated while the fortress’s allies regrouped and made plans. Three days later, Hu Meng’s severed head appeared on the gates of Maitexier Main City.

• Meng Qingcheng ordered his forces to retreat and recalled the Peerless Dragon and Snake, warning Hu Meng that Spirit Hall’s sudden alliance might conceal a larger plan.
• Tian Can destroyed his severed palm to prove his loyalty, then agreed to escort Lilith and Gui Mei to Fire Dragon Fortress and send word that Iron Butcher Qingshan was coming.

• Huo Kuang and Wang Xiang brought Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang to Huo Zhenkong, who gathered his children and returned to Fire Dragon Fortress with them.
• Three days later, a street sweeper found Hu Meng’s head hanging from the gates of Maitexier Main City.

Old Wang discovered General Hu’s severed head and Spirit Hall’s threatening banner at the city gate, then spread the news while boasting to A Fen about their son Iron Egg’s Broom Martial Soul. At the General’s Residence, Hua Juncheng saw Hu Meng’s death as an advantage in the succession struggle and eyed the grieving general’s wife with predatory intent.

• Old Wang found General Hu’s head and Spirit Hall’s banner hanging from Maitexier’s main city gate, then slipped away before the authorities could question him.
• Old Wang told A Fen that Hu Meng’s head had been displayed at the gate and claimed that his connections had revealed the dead man’s identity.
• Old Wang and A Fen discussed Iron Egg’s inherited Broom Martial Soul and how A Fen had explained it to Li Pockmarked as a mutation from a Shovel Martial Soul.
• Hua Juncheng paid his respects at the General’s Residence and decided that Hu Meng’s death strengthened his position against Hua Jinlin and Hua Yuerong.
• Hua Juncheng saw the general’s grieving wife and contemplated using powerful medicine to seduce her.

Hua Jinlin vowed to raise an army against Spirit Hall after its betrayal, while Xu Huxiao devised a dangerous treatment to save the dying Hua Yuerong. He had found a possible substitute for her Golden Tree Heart but still needed a treasure of extreme cold before attempting the procedure.

• Hua Jinlin ordered his guards to find Soul Masters capable of fighting Spirit Hall, promising them anything for their strength.
• Xu Huxiao searched Fire Dragon Fortress's library and consulted healers, but none could save Hua Yuerong as her life slowly faded.
• Xu Huxiao discovered that Hua Yuerong's Martial Soul had mutated into the Evil Dragon Demonheart Flower, which could control the Killing-Baleful Turbid Qi in her body.
• Xu Huxiao planned to make Hua Yuerong refine the Golden Tree Heart, rebuild her Yin-Yang Balance, and force the turbid qi into her Soul Bone.
• Xu Huxiao decided that an Immortal Herb was unavailable in time and considered another substitute, but he still needed an extremely cold treasure to stabilize the treatment.

Xu Huxiao agreed to help Shui Bing'er reclaim the Water Origin Sect in exchange for access to its Cold Jade Ice Bed, then set out to retrieve it. The chapter also revealed Shui Kun’s hold over Xue Bingyue and his anger at Shui Bing’er’s attempt to enlist Spirit Hall against him.

• Ouyang Xiaoyu and Xue Qingyang explained that most of Hua Yuerong’s treatment supplies could be gathered by nightfall, but a supreme cold treasure would be difficult to obtain.
• Shui Bing'er offered the Water Origin Sect’s Cold Jade Ice Bed and asked Xu Huxiao to help her drive the traitor Shui Kun out of the sect.
• After learning Shui Kun was the only Soul Sage in power, Xu Huxiao agreed to help and ordered preparations for the remaining supplies while Ghost Dad guarded Fire Dragon Fortress.
• Xu Huxiao left for Water Origin Sect with Shui Bing'er, Qingshan, and Lilith.
• Two days earlier, Shui Kun visited Xue Bingyue while she embroidered his robe and complained that Shui Bing’er was plotting with Spirit Hall to remove him as sect master.

Shui Kun pressured Xue Bingyue to accept their relationship and promised to keep the truth from Shui Bing'er and Yue'er. When Xu Huxiao arrived at Water Origin Sect, Shui Kun offered him his allegiance in exchange for a chance to become stronger, and Xu Huxiao accepted before heading to the treasure vault for the Ice Jade Bed.

• Shui Kun blamed Shui Bing'er for disrupting his plans and pleaded with Xue Bingyue to accept their relationship, while she begged him to let her daughters remember their father well.
• Xue Bingyue tried to stab herself with scissors, but Shui Kun stopped her and promised to bear the blame and keep their secret from Bing'er and Yue'er.
• Xue Bingyue agreed to stay with Shui Kun, and he said he would seek greater opportunities under Spirit Hall and hoped to become a Title-level expert.
• Xu Huxiao arrived at Water Origin Sect, where Shui Kun welcomed him and offered to yield the sect master position to Shui Bing'er.
• Shui Kun asked to acknowledge Xu Huxiao as his master so he could pursue greater strength, and Xu Huxiao accepted his allegiance.
• Xu Huxiao told Shui Kun to open the treasure vault so they could retrieve the Ice Jade Bed.

Shui Bing'er opened the Water Origin Sect's underground treasury for Xu Huxiao, who descended with Shui Kun, Lilith, and Shui Bing'er to face the nearly forty-thousand-year-old Ice-Winged Demon Dragon. Shui Kun asked to negotiate with the dragon and protect it if possible, and Xu Huxiao let him try as the lift reached the Ice Cavern.

• Shui Kun surrendered the Sect Master's position to Shui Bing'er, who accepted the token after Xu Huxiao secured his submission.
• Shui Bing'er used her Martial Soul and the Crystal Blue Dolphin to open the treasury entrance in the Cold-Scaled Dragon Kun statue.
• Xu Huxiao entered the treasury with Shui Kun, Lilith, and Shui Bing'er, leaving Qingshan outside.
• Shui Kun explained the Ice-Winged Demon Dragon's bond with the treasury and asked Xu Huxiao to let him negotiate with it without harming it if possible.
• Xu Huxiao tossed Shui Kun the Crystal Blue Dolphin, and the lift carried the group down to the Ice Cavern.

Xu Huxiao and Shui Kun entered the Ice Cavern treasury to retrieve the Cold Jade Ice Bed, while Shui Bing'er stayed on the first level after spotting rare Ice Spirits. On the second level, the Ice-Winged Demon Dragon refused to surrender the treasure, so Xu Huxiao unleashed the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's overwhelming Dragon Might and left everyone stunned.

• Shui Bing'er spotted five Ice Spirits feeding on blood lingzhi and stayed behind to seek help hunting them for her second Soul Ring.
• Xu Huxiao, Shui Kun, and Lilith descended to the second level, where the Ice-Winged Demon Dragon confronted them.
• Shui Kun tried to negotiate for the Cold Jade Ice Bed, but the demon dragon responded with hostile roars and guarded the treasure.
• Xu Huxiao summoned the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, whose Dragon Might forced the Ice-Winged Demon Dragon to tremble and prostrate itself.
• Shui Kun and Lilith entered Martial Soul Possession to withstand Xu Huxiao's Dragon Might, and Shui Kun wondered what power Xu Huxiao had unleashed.

Xu Huxiao used his Bloodline Dragon Might to make the Ice-Winged Demon Dragon surrender the Cold Jade Ice Bed, then captured an Ice Spirit so Shui Bing'er could obtain her second Soul Ring. Shui Bing'er began absorbing the ring while the sleeping demon dragon showed signs of growing another pair of wings.

• Xu Huxiao's Dragon Might drove the Ice-Winged Demon Dragon away, and it returned to offer him the Cold Jade Ice Bed, which he took before leaving the cavern's second floor.
• Shui Bing'er and the Water Origin Sect disciples gave up trying to capture the Ice Spirits until Xu Huxiao returned and caught the seven-hundred-year Water Sprite.
• Xu Huxiao gave Shui Bing'er the White Tiger Dagger and held her hand as she struck the Water Sprite, producing a yellow Soul Ring for her.
• After Xu Huxiao left, Shui Bing'er felt an unfamiliar reaction to their touch, then began absorbing the Soul Ring and gained a powerful ice-element Soul Skill.
• The Ice-Winged Demon Dragon fell asleep in its nest, dreaming of becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Four-Winged Ice Demon Dragon as two glowing bulges rose beneath its scales.

Xu Huxiao began treating Hua Yuerong in Fire Dragon Fortress, using the Golden Tree Heart and Nine Yang Divine Skill Foundation Establishment to save her and control the Killing-Baleful Turbid Qi. After completing the treatment’s first two stages, he discovered he was Hua Yuerong’s reason to keep living and suppressed a sudden feeling of enlightenment so he could continue.

• Xu Huxiao sealed himself and the comatose Hua Yuerong inside a secret chamber with the supplies needed for her treatment.
• Xu Huxiao spent two days and two nights using the Golden Tree Heart’s energy to establish Hua Yuerong’s Nine Yang foundation and open her Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
• Xu Huxiao nourished Hua Yuerong’s weakened body with medicinal energy from high-grade tonics.
• Xu Huxiao activated Hua Yuerong’s Evil Dragon Demonheart Flower and used it to begin controlling the Killing-Baleful Turbid Qi fused with her body.
• Xu Huxiao saw that a memory of their time in Purple Cloud Valley at Thousand Islands Lake remained Hua Yuerong’s reason to keep living, then suppressed his own rising enlightenment.
• Xu Huxiao completed the second stage after three days and nights, stabilizing Hua Yuerong’s shallow cultivation foundation.

Xu Huxiao completed Hua Yuerong’s treatment, helping her absorb a Soul Bone and contain the Killing-Baleful Turbid Qi. After she recovered, he went to rest before beginning his own breakthrough in Martial Dao Intent and Martial Soul Evolution.

• Xu Huxiao spent two days and two nights restoring Hua Yuerong’s Yin-Yang Balance, and she woke up to find that he had saved her.
• Xu Huxiao continued strengthening Hua Yuerong’s foundation and vitality for another two days and two nights until she could move freely.
• Xu Huxiao gave Hua Yuerong the Thirty-Thousand-Year Netherworld Flood Dragon Torso Soul Bone, and she accepted it after he told her to trust him.
• Xu Huxiao helped Hua Yuerong absorb the Soul Bone and force some of the Killing-Baleful Turbid Qi into it, completing the treatment by the next morning.
• Ouyang Xiaoyu announced a grand banquet for Hua Yuerong’s recovery, while Xu Huxiao went to sleep before starting his breakthrough.

Hua Yuerong visited Xu Huxiao at night, but her Evil Dragon Demonheart Flower martial soul had driven her to seduce him. Xu Huxiao suppressed the martial soul and could not answer when she asked whether he liked her, leaving Hua Yuerong resolved to stay by his side and wait.

• Hua Yuerong entered Xu Huxiao's courtyard at night and sent her attendants to guard the entrance while Gui Mei watched from the roof.
• Hua Yuerong approached Xu Huxiao in bed, but he woke and restrained her when she tried to undress him.
• Xu Huxiao recognized that the Evil Dragon Demonheart Flower had taken control of Hua Yuerong's mind and suppressed it with his bloodline dragon might.
• After regaining her senses, Hua Yuerong apologized and asked Xu Huxiao whether he liked her.
• Xu Huxiao said he could not answer because he had many duties and two fiancées, and promised to help her gain control of her martial soul.
• Hua Yuerong decided privately to wait for Xu Huxiao and remain by his side.

Hua Jinlin fused with the Death God Skull, became an Immortal Soul Sage, and ordered the Hyena Soul Bandit Group to prepare a massacre and attack on Fire Dragon Fortress and Spirit Hall. After Hua Yuerong advanced to Soul Elder, Xu Huxiao began a secluded breakthrough in Martial Dao Intent, aiming to improve three abilities at once.

• Hua Jinlin pledged himself to the Death God and was recognized as the new master of the Hyena Soul Bandit Group after his Soul Power rose to level seventy-one.
• Hua Jinlin ordered Yanluo, Yanwang, and Yanmo to wait until the gathering at Fire Dragon Fortress before sacrificing the capital’s people and attacking the fortress and Spirit Hall.
• Hua Yuerong absorbed a Soul Ring from one of three compatible Soul Beasts, advanced to Soul Elder, and gained control of her mutated Evil Dragon Demonheart Flower Martial Soul with Xu Huxiao’s help.
• Xu Huxiao asked Gui Mei to guard him while he pursued a breakthrough, and Gui Mei teased him about his relationship with Hua Yuerong before agreeing.
• Xu Huxiao sealed himself inside a quiet chamber and entered a state of shallow inner vision to begin advancing his Martial Dao Intent, Silver Body, and Golden Dragon Scale Arms.

After consuming the chamber’s treasures, Xu Huxiao broke through to level thirty-six, evolved his Four Extremes Golden Dragon Claw, and perfected his Silver Body. He awakened the Bloodline Dragon Banner and gained the ability to project and control his Golden Dragon force, leaving him better prepared for future threats.

• Xu Huxiao completed his breakthrough, reaching level thirty-six as his Martial Soul and first Soul Ring evolved.
• Xu Huxiao unleashed the Perfect Silver Body, confirming its increased defense, strength, endurance, and lack of weak points.
• Xu Huxiao awakened the Bloodline Dragon Banner, which could suppress enemies or enhance allied Soul Masters within its range.
• Xu Huxiao tested the Qi Intent Realm by forming a Force Energy shield and destroying objects with projected Golden Dragon force and Golden Dragon Hidden Force.

After breaking through to the Qi Intent Realm, Xu Huxiao assessed his strengthened abilities and planned to master more fused palm forces before pursuing the Divine Intent Realm. Meanwhile, guests gathered at Fire Dragon Fortress for a celebratory banquet, where Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yuhai arrived with gifts and discussed pursuing Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.

• Xu Huxiao noted that his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms had become more powerful and efficient, and that his stronger Force Shield could better withstand Lei Dao's Sixfold Killing Character Slash.
• Xu Huxiao planned to fuse at least two or three more palm forces before breaking through to the Divine Intent Realm, while continuing his Soul Power cultivation and Diamond Body training.
• Xu Huxiao decided to settle the trouble in the area, return to Spirit City to temper his body, and experiment further with palm-force fusion before leaving his quiet chamber to find food.
• Officials and factions arrived at Fire Dragon Fortress to attend its celebratory banquet, hoping to make amends or secure favor with Hua Yuerong and her Spirit Hall backing.
• Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yuhai discussed pursuing Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, and Feng Yuhai said he had prepared a poem for Shui Bing'er.
• Huo Wushuang received arriving guests at Fire Dragon Fortress as the Divine Wind Wolf Gang brothers arrived with lavish gifts and were directed to the VIP seating area.

At Fire Dragon Fortress's lantern fair, Feng Yuhai attempted to court Shui Bing'er while Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian watched. Shui Bing'er learned that His Highness Xu had injured Huo Wu, and Feng Yuhai's grand poem was cut short when Huo Wu attacked him.

• Huo Wushuang warned Feng Xiaotian to remain faithful if he pursued Huo Wu, and Feng Yuhai declared that he would compete fairly with Huo Wushuang for Shui Bing'er.
• Huo Wushuang admitted he had no plan to approach Shui Bing'er, so Feng Yuhai took the lead and went to meet her at the lantern fair.
• Shui Bing'er asked Huo Wu about Princess Yuerong and learned that she was recovering, then discovered that His Highness Xu had injured Huo Wu's teeth and left a bruise on her neck.
• Shui Bing'er laughed at Huo Wu's complaints about His Highness Xu, prompting Huo Wu to suspect that Shui Bing'er had a favorable impression of him.
• Feng Yuhai showered Shui Bing'er with blue rose petals and began reciting a poem, but Huo Wu interrupted him with her Great Fireball Soul Skill.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang plotted to get closer to Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, but Huo Wushuang rejected Feng Xiaotian’s indirect flirting advice in favor of being sincere. Feng Xiaotian launched an elaborate aerial love confession to Huo Wu, leaving the crowd cheering as his spectacle unfolded.

• Huo Wu pulled Shui Bing'er away after Feng Yuhai’s awkward attempt to court her ended with him blasted by a Great Fireball.
• Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang rescued Feng Yuhai, and Feng Xiaotian decided to lure Huo Wu away so Huo Wushuang could approach Shui Bing'er.
• Feng Xiaotian taught Huo Wushuang four ways to flirt, but Huo Wushuang chose to approach Shui Bing'er openly and sincerely.
• Feng Xiaotian prepared a giant rideable kite called Wind Dance Nine Heavens at Fire Dragon Fortress’s observation tower.
• Feng Xiaotian flew the kite toward Huo Wu and declared his love through a sound amplifier as the crowd cheered.
• Feng Xiaotian released banners from the kite while Divine Wind Wolf Gang disciples beat drums and chanted their wishes for his success.

Feng Xiaotian’s elaborate kite-borne confession to Huo Wu went awry as she threatened him with fire, while he stalled her and pretended the damaged kite could be stopped. Below, Huo Wushuang’s attempt to approach Shui Bing’er was blocked by Shui Yue’er, who accused him of scheming.

• Feng Xiaotian serenaded Huo Wu from the Wind Dance Nine Heavens, and Huo Wu attacked the kite with tracking Great Fireballs.
• Feng Xiaotian destroyed the fireballs with his Wind Blade Formation, but Huo Wu climbed onto the kite and threatened him with another fireball.
• Huo Wu accidentally burned the kite’s brake rope, and Feng Xiaotian pretended to stop the kite while continuing his romantic lines to keep her aboard.
• Huo Wushuang moved toward Shui Bing’er, but Shui Yue’er intercepted him and accused him of joining Feng Xiaotian and Feng Yuhai in a scheme to approach her sister.

Huo Wushuang tried to earn Shui Yue'er's approval to approach her sister by passing three tests, while Shui Yue'er secretly judged his patience and character. He passed the first two tests and agreed to arrange a fireworks display for the final one as Feng Xiaotian continued stalling Huo Wu in the sky above the outer city.

• Huo Wushuang persuaded Shui Yue'er to let him prove himself, and she set three tests before he could approach her sister.
• Huo Wushuang passed Shui Yue'er's first test by receiving favorable opinions from five people, while tolerating her complaints and provocations.
• Huo Wushuang used the false name Huo Yan to win five consecutive Soul Master battles at the open fighting stage.
• Shui Yue'er praised Huo Wushuang's fighting skill, nicknamed him Firewood, and set a fireworks display on Twin Magpie Bridge as his final test.
• Feng Xiaotian continued trying to win Huo Wu over aboard the Wind Dance Nine Heavens as Huo Wu's fury grew.

Shui Bing'er found Xu at a food stall but chose to suppress her feelings for him because she was committed to the Water Origin Sect and he already had two fiancées. Meanwhile, Feng Xiaotian mistook Huo Wu’s irritation for shyness as they remained stranded on his flying kite.

• Shui Bing'er heard Xu ordering food and began walking toward him, telling herself she wanted to thank him and strengthen ties with Spirit Hall.
• Shui Bing'er’s inner Angel of Reason warned her that Xu had two fiancées, while her inner demon urged her to pursue him despite the risk.
• Shui Bing'er turned away from Xu, sealed her feelings, and resolved to focus on revitalizing the Water Origin Sect.
• Feng Xiaotian asked Huo Wu to exchange gifts and declared that they belonged to each other, prompting her to shoot another flame at him.
• Huo Wu tried to calm herself and find a safe way off the kite, while Feng Xiaotian wrongly decided that her silence meant his confession had made her shy.

Feng Xiaotian’s romantic monologue enraged Huo Wu, whose fireball destroyed their kite and sent them both falling. Xu Huxiao caught Huo Wu, then bought food while she recovered; elsewhere, Huo Wushuang prepared the fireworks for Shui Yue’er’s final test.

• Feng Xiaotian showered Huo Wu with declarations of love, but she lost her temper and attacked him with a fused Blazing Sun Fireball.
• Huo Wu’s fireball destroyed the Wind Dance Nine Heavens, and she and Feng Xiaotian fell from the sky; Feng Xiaotian softened his own landing but passed out after hitting the ground.
• Xu Huxiao caught Huo Wu as she fell through a snack stall’s canopy, then released her when she demanded it, causing her to land painfully on the ground.
• Xu Huxiao paid for the damage and ordered more food; hungry Huo Wu stopped crying and sat across from him to wait for her own serving.
• Huo Wushuang prepared the Nine-Colored Fire Dragon Inviting the Moon fireworks for Shui Yue’er, whose final test was simply to see the display she loved.

Huo Wushuang and Shui Yue'er’s fireworks outing ended in an accidental kiss and brought them closer as he escorted her to change. Just as they headed into the inner city, alarms announced an enemy attack on Fire Dragon Fortress.

• Shui Yue'er insisted on lighting the fireworks herself, and Huo Wushuang taught her how to set them off.
• Shui Yue'er mistakenly ignited the final firework without using Soul Power, causing the fireworks to explode and nearly sending her off the bridge.
• Huo Wushuang caught Shui Yue'er and shielded her from the blast, but their sudden movements made them collide in a kiss before falling into the lake.
• Huo Wushuang apologized and lent Shui Yue'er his cloak; she forgave him and asked him to take her somewhere to change into dry clothes.
• Huo Wushuang realized Shui Yue'er now drew his attention more than Shui Bing'er, and he followed Shui Yue'er toward the guest tower.
• Alarms rang through Fire Dragon Fortress as an enemy attacked during the banquet.

Xu Huxiao discovered that nearly a million immortal Weird Soul Masters had surrounded Fire Dragon Fortress, and the fortress’s strongest Soul Masters gathered to face the threat. He stopped Gui Mei from rushing out and promised to explain what he knew after the crisis passed.

• An alarm sounded across Fire Dragon Fortress, and Xu Huxiao and Huo Wu headed toward the outer wall as the settlement prepared for an attack.
• Huo Wu explained that the fortress used cooperating Kui Thunder Trumpet Flowers to warn of danger, then decided that repaying Xu Huxiao’s kindness would not cancel her plans for revenge.
• Using the Green Crystal Demon Snake’s perspective, Xu Huxiao saw nearly a million immortal Weird Soul Masters surrounding Fire Dragon Mountain.
• Tian Can, Xue Qingyang, Wang Xiang, Huo Zhenkong, Ouyang Xiaoyu, Huo Kuang, Lilith, Qingshan, and Shui Kun joined Xu Huxiao on the gate tower as Gui Mei sensed a powerful hostile presence outside.
• Xu Huxiao stopped Gui Mei from leaving to investigate and said he would explain the unusual situation after it was over, prompting Gui Mei to reveal his nine Soul Rings as a Titled Douluo.
