Qin Hao encountered a powerful Devil Race Star Pirates battleship near the Chaotic Star Sea and waited for its crew to leave their ship so he could attack and seek Origin Demon Crystals. The pirates pursued a Li Family Merchant Guild battleship commanded by Marquis Vastsea, whose crew turned to young mistress Li Yuntong for help.

• Li Hao and Guan Chi tried to retreat from Qin Hao, but his sword strike shattered Li Hao's weapon and cut Guan Chi in two, killing him.

As Qin Hao arrived, Marquis Nightveil realized he was the unseen attacker, and Qin Hao unleashed Heaven-Sealing Mountain-Cleaving on Marquis Bloodbane.
