Zhou Feng recovered from his soul injury with help from Leng Man'er’s Soul Gu and the soul of the demon he had slain, then discovered his Skill Panel had gained two draw opportunities.

After explaining the danger, he entered the vault to collect the treasures, leaving Leng Man'er stunned that he took no precautions against the formation.

• Zhou Feng examined the Death Substitution Gu Leng Man'er had given him and stored it away because it could not reside inside his body.

When three demons confronted him, his transformed apparition frightened them into fleeing, but a Divine Ability Realm demon appeared, forcing Zhou Feng to escape toward Tianxing City.
