Shen Luo escaped the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle, but the Lion Camel Ridge kings suspected him of being a powerful Human Race spy.

• Shen Luo identified the crystals as Blood Embryo Stones and concluded that the formation was used for sacrifice.

Shen Luo was ambushed by the dried corpse’s Earthly Fiend Corpse Fire and a possessing black shadow while inspecting the Sacrificial Formation. He broke the shadow’s control and used Red Lotus Karmic Fire to hold off the corpse fire, trapping the shadow as it tried to escape his body.

The coffin’s occupant restored the city’s yellow spiritual threads, while Shen Luo reunited with the Ghost General and prepared to withdraw him in the Cosmic Bag.
