• Qian Renxue ordered a mole to report Ning Rongrong's planned elopement with Lin Yuan and told Pufferfish Douluo to kill Lin Yuan if Long Aotian reached Heaven Dou City first.

• A guard reported that Long Aotian had stormed out of the sect and Sword Douluo had followed him.
• Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong realized someone had deliberately leaked the rumor to Long Aotian, and Gu Rong vowed they had been too merciful.
