At the Thousand Family, Wei Junlan accused the family of arranging his ambush, and the Old Madam confronted Qian Zhuoqian, who blamed the dead servants for the attack.

• The Old Madam promised Wei Junlan an answer within three days, then questioned the Thousand Family members about the attack and confronted Qian Zhuoqian, who claimed she had sent the servants to protect Qian Wanyu.

The Old Madam settled the dispute with Wei Junlan by punishing Qian Zhuoqian, offering weapons, and granting Blood Baleful Alliance disciples two places in the Thousand Family Back Mountain trials. Qian Wanyu claimed the Reincarnation Bow despite badly injuring her hands, while Dongfang Minghui chose a mechanized Silk Fan; as the qualifiers approached, Minghui grew puzzled by Little Ball’s unusually rapid growth.

• Dongfang Minghui overheard that the Old Madam had ordered Qian Zhuoqian punished and refused to let anyone plead for mercy.

The qualification tournament began with Qian Wanyu defeating Mu Lei and Meng Yixiao defeating Bai Rou, who suffered a mysterious, severe injury. Dongfang Minghui was told Bai Rou had recovered so she could focus on her own match, but her friends concealed how critical Bai Rou’s condition was as Minghui entered the arena.

• Dongfang Minghui entered her match still uneasy, while Mu Sheng and Lü Xing hid the truth about Bai Rou’s critical condition.

Dongfang Minghui won her match against Night Eagle but later learned he had died, while she discovered and absorbed an Adhesion Worm that had been tormenting Bai Rou. As the worm rapidly developed inside her, Qian Wanyu arranged to face Meng Yixiao in the arena, where the chapter ended just as he entered to meet her.

• Dongfang Minghui bound Night Eagle with vines and poisoned him, then defeated him after he attacked her with lightning; she gave the Rakshasa Mercenary Corps the antidote and left with an injured hand.
• Dongfang Minghui examined Bai Rou, found a hidden Adhesion Worm, and accidentally transferred it into her own body while trying to remove it.

• Dongfang Minghui learned that Night Eagle had died after the match, and Qian Wanyu promised to investigate while assuring her she was not to blame.
• The Adhesion Worm rapidly grew inside Dongfang Minghui, so Qian Wanyu put her to sleep and left Lü Xing and Wood to watch over her before going to fight Meng Yixiao.
• Qian Wanyu faced Meng Yixiao before a packed arena as Mu Sheng and Li Yunan watched from the stands.

• Meng Yixiao smiled, made a strange gesture, and told Qian Wanyu that he knew her.

• Mu Sheng rushed to Dongfang Minghui and told her that Ji Xiaoxiao had died, leaving her shocked.

Dongfang Minghui won her fourth match after defeating an assassin hired to kill her, then qualified for the back mountain when her fifth opponent failed to appear. As she investigated a possible way to reverse Wood’s Living Dead condition using Lü Xing’s blood, Bai Rou awakened and began explaining why she had used Cutting Off the Firewood against Meng Yixiao.

Dongfang Minghui discovered that the white cub was an awakened Dark-Type Spirit Beast and Qian Wanyu formed a contract with it, while Toothless attacked it after sensing its nature. After the rematches, Dongfang Minghui began treating Wood with Lü Xing’s blood, but Wood’s pain caused the tub to shatter.

• Bai Rou told Qian Wanyu that Meng Yixiao had concealed a sinister second element, and Qian Wanyu urged her to recover before facing the rematches.

• The noise in the courtyard roused Qian Wanyu and the others from cultivation.
• Qian Wanyu drew the Water-Thunder Whip and kicked the door open.

• Qian Wanyu and the Old Madam restrained Qian Ziyan after his violent reaction, allowing Dongfang Minghui to begin treating him with Lü Xing’s blood and Love Flower’s leaf juice.

Meng Yixiao killed six people with parasitic worms that drained their spiritual energy and life force, then found several silver needles and identified them as Dongfang Minghui’s. The story left the cause of the needles’ presence unexplained.

• Meng Yixiao smiled and sent ten nearly invisible white threads into the six people.
• The threads grew into parasitic worms and drained the six of their spiritual energy and life force.
• The six died frozen in place, and the wind revealed their clothed skeletons.
• Meng Yixiao picked up several silver needles and said, "Dongfang Minghui."

Dongfang Minghui, Qian Wanyu, and their companions discovered a strange cold pool that Qing Mo identified as the Three-Life Mirror, then jumped in to search for those it had swallowed. The group became scattered across different realms, and Dongfang Minghui reached a misty battlefield where Qian Wanyu and Wood were fighting a level-seven Triangle-Horned Rhino Beast.

• Li Yunan explained that the Life-Extending Pill drew cultivators to the Thousand Family Back Mountain, and Toothless led the group to a Ghost-Face Fruit growing above a cold pool.
