Chapter Summaries

Nie Yun learned that rescuing Nie Tong from the Enforcement Team at Jinyuan Market would mean facing a commander at least at the Perfected King Realm. He discovered Fairy Biluo had only three months to live, but she warned that using his Devouring ability to remove her Fire Toxin would transfer the lethal poison to him.

• Fairy Biluo told Nie Yun that the Enforcement Team was based on Jinyuan Market’s third underground level and was commanded by an expert at least in the Perfected King Realm.
• Nie Yun warned Fairy Biluo that her Fire Toxin would kill her within three months, and she admitted his estimate was correct.
• Bi'er begged Nie Yun to save her master, and Fairy Biluo asked whether he was a Descendant of Shennong or from the Pu Tian Dynasty.
• Bi'er revealed that Nie Yun was a prince of the dynasty, but Fairy Biluo explained that his Devouring ability would only transfer the powerful Fire Toxin into his body.
• Fairy Biluo refused to let Nie Yun risk taking the poison into himself, and Nie Yun admired her for not hiding the danger.

Nie Yun offered to test a treatment for Bi'er's Fire Toxin before risking treatment on Fairy Biluo. He entered a sealed chamber with Bi'er and knocked her unconscious, leaving the treatment yet to begin.

• Fairy Biluo explained that a Descendant of Shennong had not appeared for fifty million years and refused to let Nie Yun risk treating her Fire Toxin.
• Nie Yun proposed treating Bi'er first, and Fairy Biluo agreed and promised to help him save someone if he cured her disciple.
• Nie Yun and Bi'er entered Fairy Biluo's secluded meditation room, where the Formation blocked sight and sound from outside.
• Bi'er mistook Nie Yun's sudden attack for an attempt to force himself on her and fought back with fiery power.
• Nie Yun resisted Bi'er's flames with his Fire God Qi, struck the back of her head, and knocked her unconscious.

Nie Yun tried to draw the Fire Toxin out of Bi'er and devour it, but the toxin proved intelligent and powerful enough to destroy her meridians and consume his sword intent. The chapter left Nie Yun facing the toxin inside Bi'er's meridians, unsure whether he could overcome it.

• Nie Yun knocked Bi'er unconscious and guided his flame qi through her meridians to find a safe route for expelling the Fire Toxin.
• The Fire Toxin emerged and destroyed the flame qi Nie Yun had sent to lure it out.
• Nie Yun sealed thirty-five of Bi'er's major acupoints and used his Devouring Power to draw in the toxin.
• The Fire Toxin rampaged to resist and shattered several of Bi'er's meridians, forcing Nie Yun to enter her meridians with his soul.
• Nie Yun struck the toxin with his Sword Dao intent, but it devoured the attack and grew stronger.

Nie Yun tried to expel the fire toxin from Miss Bi'er but had to retreat when it overcame his defenses. The toxin escaped into his body and rushed toward his Blazing Fire Dantian, where the Main Dantian suddenly began spinning.

• The fire toxin overwhelmed Nie Yun, so he fed it Extreme Poison Qi and Fire God Qi while retreating toward the life gate.
• Nie Yun returned his soul to his body and withdrew the Devouring Power, but the fire toxin followed it out of Bi'er's body and entered his own.
• The fire toxin raced toward Nie Yun's Blazing Fire Dantian, swallowing the powers he used to block it and growing stronger.
• As the fire toxin entered the Blazing Fire Dantian, Nie Yun's Main Dantian suddenly rumbled and began spinning wildly.

Nie Yun used the Main Dantian to suppress Miss Bi'er's Fire Toxin and refine it into golden energy, rapidly replenishing his Origin Energy. Miss Bi'er woke, realized he had saved her without violating her, and watched over him; after Nie Yun opened his eyes, he found her standing naked and screamed.

• The Main Dantian enveloped the Fire Toxin and transformed it into a mass of golden liquid that Nie Yun began refining.
• Nie Yun used the golden liquid to replenish his Origin Energy, raising his sea of qi to half capacity in less than two hours.
• Miss Bi'er woke and discovered that her Fire Toxin was gone and her Chastity Mark remained intact.
• Miss Bi'er realized Nie Yun had risked himself to save her and silently hoped he would overcome the Fire Toxin.
• Nie Yun opened his eyes, saw Miss Bi'er standing naked, and screamed.

After Nie Yun expelled Miss Bi'er's Fire Toxin, a misunderstanding over her washing and changing clothes led to an argument and tears. Fairy Biluo entered and prepared to attack Nie Yun, but Miss Bi'er began explaining that he had successfully treated her.

• Miss Bi'er recovered from the Fire Toxin and washed herself while Nie Yun cultivated, then she noticed he had opened his eyes and seen her naked.
• Nie Yun told Miss Bi'er to dress and insisted he had no other intentions, prompting her to attack him in anger.
• Nie Yun dodged Miss Bi'er and said their marriage agreement was only an excuse and that he already had a wife.
• Miss Bi'er broke down crying, and Nie Yun awkwardly offered to make a sacrifice.
• Fairy Biluo entered after hearing the crying and mistook the situation, but Miss Bi'er hurried to explain that Nie Yun had removed her Fire Toxin successfully.

Nie Yun removed the fire toxin from Miss Bi'er, but said he could not yet cure Fairy Biluo's stronger affliction. Fairy Biluo agreed to help him rescue his younger brother, and Nie Yun offered to suppress her fire toxin temporarily and extend her life by a few years.

• Fairy Biluo confirmed that Nie Yun had removed Miss Bi'er's fire toxin and learned that Bi'er was crying from happiness.
• Miss Bi'er urged Nie Yun to save her master and offered herself in exchange, but Nie Yun said he was powerless to cure Fairy Biluo's stronger fire toxin.
• Fairy Biluo stopped Bi'er from pressuring Nie Yun and told him she would honor her promise to help rescue his friend.
• Nie Yun thanked Fairy Biluo and offered to keep her fire toxin from flaring up, giving her a few more years to live.

Nie Yun gave Fairy Biluo pills that could delay her Fire Toxin for two years, though they would make it harder to treat later. Fairy Biluo took Nie Yun and Bi'er to Jinyuan Market in her Weaver Girl Shuttle, where Nie Yun asked to try resolving the problem himself first.

• Nie Yun explained that nourishing Fairy Biluo's Fire Toxin could extend her life but would make the toxin more dangerous and difficult to cure.
• Fairy Biluo accepted Nie Yun's jade bottle of pills, which would keep her safe for two years if she increased the doses over time.
• Fairy Biluo brought out the Weaver Girl Shuttle, and Bi'er explained that it was a Peak Emperor Realm flying divine weapon forged by her master.
• Fairy Biluo flew Nie Yun and Bi'er to Jinyuan Market in the shuttle within a few dozen breaths.
• Nie Yun asked Fairy Biluo to let him try to resolve the situation himself before she intervened, and she agreed.

Nie Yun disguised himself and entered Jinyuan Market to find the Enforcement Team’s hidden underground base and rescue his younger brother. After surveying the market and its concealed Formations, he was approached by a manager who offered to guide him to what he sought.

• Fairy Biluo promised Miss Bi'er she would intervene if Nie Yun faced real danger, then searched Jinyuan Market with her spiritual power but could not find him.
• Nie Yun changed his appearance and blended into the crowd at Jinyuan Market, where the Enforcement Team’s base was hidden beneath the busy marketplace.
• Nie Yun studied the market’s layout and concealed Formations, but found no public passage to the underground levels.
• A young manager approached Nie Yun and offered to take him to what he wanted to buy, and Nie Yun said it was not available in the market.

Nie Yun followed a market guide to a hidden slave-trading passage and learned that the slaves were captured ascenders, likely including people seized by the Enforcement Team. When he tried to pass the Patrol Token using Devouring Power, it exposed him as an ascender.

• Nie Yun gave the market guide a bottle of healing pills in exchange for help finding what he wanted.
• The guide led Nie Yun through a hidden entrance and down to a passage guarded by a Patrol Token.
• Nie Yun learned that the slave trade sold ascenders and suspected the Enforcement Team was involved.
• Nie Yun concealed his identity with Devouring Power and approached the Patrol Token.
• The Patrol Token glowed scarlet, revealing Nie Yun as an ascender and startling the guide.

Nie Yun concealed his identity as an ascender by claiming his pure flames proved he belonged to the Fire God Sect, then went to inspect a slave prison while searching for his younger brother. He found only weak captives and asked whether the market had any King-level slaves.

• The Patrol Token identified Nie Yun as an ascender, but he used his Fire God Sect flames and a fabricated excuse to convince the young man otherwise.
• The young man led Nie Yun to Gao Le’s slave market, where Nie Yun judged that Gao Le was not part of the Enforcement Team.
• Gao Le showed Nie Yun several hundred ascenders whose senses had been sealed and explained that each slave cost at least one hundred thousand Fire God Coins.
• Nie Yun searched the prison but found no one strong enough to be his Late King-Sealing younger brother, so he asked Gao Le whether he had any King-level slaves.

Nie Yun attacked Gao Le to learn where the King-level Ascenders and the Enforcement Team were, then killed Gao Le after confirming he had no more information. He discovered a powerful Formation guarded the team’s underground base and was left to decide what to do with the imprisoned Ascenders.

• Nie Yun struck Gao Le, quickly defeated him, and killed the young man who had brought him to the prison.
• Nie Yun crushed Gao Le’s leg bones and interrogated him about the King-level slaves and the Enforcement Team.
• Gao Le said the Enforcement Team had never given him King-level Ascenders and described a hidden entrance to the third underground level and its powerful Formation.
• After questioning Gao Le further and confirming he knew nothing else, Nie Yun beheaded him and took the money and belongings from both men.
• Nie Yun found five hundred thousand Fire God Coins among Gao Le’s money, then wondered what to do with the imprisoned Ascenders.

Nie Yun infiltrated the Enforcement Team’s hidden lair by disguising himself as its members and discovered the luxurious quarters where Ascenders were abused and sold. His disguise was exposed when he encountered Liang Xun’s suspicious acquaintance, leaving Nie Yun facing an immediate confrontation.

• Nie Yun moved the imprisoned Ascenders into the Storage World and entered the Enforcement Team’s passage disguised as Gao Le.
• Nie Yun lured a High-grade King Realm guard into the empty prison, killed him, took his treasures, and assumed his appearance as Liang Xun.
• Nie Yun reached the Enforcement Team’s lavish third underground level and saw evidence of the wealth and luxury built from Ascenders’ suffering.
• A disheveled young man offered Nie Yun a chance to abuse an enslaved Ascender woman, then grew suspicious when Nie Yun declined.
• The young man recognized that Nie Yun was not Liang Xun and demanded to know who he was.

Nie Yun attacked and killed a peak King Realm Enforcement Team disciple after his disguise was exposed, then hid the body in his Storage World. Other Enforcement Team members found signs of a fight and prepared to activate the Formation, suspecting an intruder.

• Nie Yun’s disguise was exposed, and he attacked the disheveled young man with his spear.
• The young man fought back with a shield and sword, but Nie Yun’s peak King Realm physical strength overwhelmed him.
• Nie Yun broke his spear, shattered the young man’s shield, and killed him with a punch before pulling them both into the Storage World.
• Other Enforcement Team members arrived, found the room and battle site, and wondered where Cao Wen and Liang Xu had gone.
• The Enforcement Team members suspected someone had broken in and decided to activate the Formation.

Nie Yun tortured Cao Wen in the Storage World until he revealed that Nie Tong had been captured by the Enforcement Team and taken to an auction. Nie Yun learned the auction might already be underway and faced the danger that his brother could soon be sold.

• Nie Yun repeatedly shattered and restored Cao Wen's bones to force him to answer questions.
• Cao Wen used a jade talisman to summon a powerful hand, but Nie Yun froze it and reversed the talisman's destruction within the Storage World.
• Cao Wen identified himself as a member of Chixiao Mountain and admitted that the Enforcement Team had captured Nie Tong, a High-grade King Realm ascender.
• Cao Wen said the captain and others had taken Nie Tong to an auction to sell him for a high price.
• Nie Yun learned the auction might already have begun and reacted with alarm.

After learning that Nie Tong would be sold at the Fire God Auction House, Nie Yun killed Cao Wen and began eliminating the Enforcement Team members. He ambushed three disciples and disguised himself as one of them, but the last survivor recognized the deception and escaped his next attack.

• Cao Wen told Nie Yun that Nie Tong was headed for the Fire God Auction House, where powerful buyers could take control of him, and Nie Yun killed Cao Wen in anger.
• Nie Yun found eight Enforcement Team disciples—four Peak King-Sealing and four Late King-Sealing—and decided to assassinate them separately.
• Nie Yun lured two Late King-Sealing disciples into a room and killed them with a surprise attack.
• Nie Yun stored one corpse, disguised himself as that disciple, and tricked two more Enforcement Team members into entering the room.
• Nie Yun killed a Peak King-Sealing disciple with a punch, but the remaining Late King-Sealing disciple dodged his next attack and faced him in shock.

Nie Yun killed the Enforcement Team members who had pursued him, collected their weapons and talismans, and prepared to fight the four survivors. He reappeared in the searched room, where the four confronted him and blocked his escape routes.

• Nie Yun killed a Late King-Sealing youth with a surprise strike, collected the corpses, and hid inside his Storage World.
• The four remaining Enforcement Team members activated the defensive Formation and searched the underground level together.
• Nie Yun examined the spoils, found six powerful talismans and several Peak King-grade Divine Weapons, and refined the weapons inside his Storage World.
• Nie Yun returned to the room and faced the four survivors as they shifted to block his routes of retreat.
• A Peak King Realm youth asked Nie Yun whether he had killed Cao Wen and the others.

Nie Yun was trapped by four major-force disciples using a formation that combined their strength, but he used a talisman to break their coordination and counterattacked. He killed two opponents and faced the terrified survivors.

• Nie Yun charged at the weakest opponent, but the four disciples combined their strength in a formation and shattered his Moonlit Swordplay with a palm strike.
• Nie Yun recognized the formation and used a jade talisman to attack the Peak King-Sealing disciple, forcing him to withdraw and breaking the formation.
• Nie Yun used Chasing Stars and Pursuing the Sun to pierce the Late King-Sealing disciple’s throat and kill him.
• Nie Yun followed with Shattering Stars, crushed the injured disciple’s barrier, and killed him as the two survivors recoiled in terror.

Nie Yun killed the Enforcement Team members on the third underground level and gathered their treasures, but the activated defensive Formation trapped him inside. Fairy Biluo and Miss Bi'er broke through it and found him among the corpses.

• Nie Yun used jade talismans to break the last defenses of the two remaining Enforcement Team disciples and killed them.
• Nie Yun searched the third level and collected over a million Fire God Coins and seven peak King-grade weapons.
• Nie Yun discovered that an unknown defensive Formation had sealed the exit and worried that he could not find its core.
• Fairy Biluo and Miss Bi'er broke through the Formation and entered the third level.
• Nie Yun revealed his true appearance, and Fairy Biluo and Miss Bi'er saw the bodies scattered across the room.

Nie Yun and Fairy Biluo went to the Fire God Auction House to find the person he had come to rescue, after Nie Yun killed the Enforcement Team. They learned that the auction had been delayed for a treasure called the Jade Cup Glazed Son, and Fairy Biluo asked whether an Ascender slave would be sold.

• Fairy Biluo warned Nie Yun that killing the Enforcement Team would bring trouble, but he said he did not regret it and asked her to take him to the Fire God Auction House.
• Fairy Biluo took Nie Yun and Miss Bi'er there in the Weaver Girl Shuttle, while Nie Yun's flames burned the corpses and furnishings at the scene to ashes.
• Fairy Biluo used her token to get the three of them into a private room at the auction house.
• An attendant said the auction had been delayed because a valuable treasure called the Jade Cup Glazed Son had arrived.
• Fairy Biluo asked whether the auction would sell an Ascender slave, and Nie Yun watched the attendant tensely for an answer.
