Arc 8Death Desert Ambush
Xu Huxiao absorbed the Golden Rock Giant Elephant King's Soul Ring and transformed it into a Hundred Thousand Year ring, then joined Gale's team for dangerous training in the Death Desert. A planned ambush exposed Borba and the Shadow Dragon Hall's assassins, and the arc ended with Xu Huxiao confronting Lei Dao over the attack on his family.

- At Sand City, Shi Nian's illusion trapped the group, but Gale and Lin Mengmeng helped break it as Borba and masked assassins revealed themselves and attacked.
- Lin Mengmeng exposed and helped defeat the assassins Yaqi and Snake, while Lei Dao and Yu Yuanying entered the battle and Gui Mei pursued Yu Yuanying.
- Gui Mei confronted the attackers, Xu Huxiao revealed that Little Golden Dragon had killed Shi Nian and claimed his Soul Bone, and Gui Mei had Borba beheaded.
- Xu Huxiao challenged Lei Dao, identified himself as Xu Bayan's son, and accused Lei Dao of the kidnapping assassination seven years earlier.
- Xu Huxiao released his full power and forced open part of Gui Mei's domain as Lei Dao manifested Lightning Saber True Body and vowed to kill him.
