After fleeing Bai Hengshan’s residence and hiding in Rabudo’s territory, Ye Liang met Isara, who proposed distracting Queen Hera during the wedding so he could rescue Bai Hengshan and destroy her Incubation Chamber. Ye Liang returned to the Hera Tribe to gather information and learned that Bai Hengshan had been moved and the Incubation Chamber was behind the royal palace.

• Hera explained that she had originally intended to let Ye Liang leave, then prepared to kill him as evening arrived, but Ye Liang said killing him would be difficult.

Ye Liang helped Isara abduct Bai Hengshan during his wedding to Queen Hera, but Isara then attacked Hera with the Desert Law. Ye Liang watched the battle as a double agent who had agreed to help Hera in exchange for Bai Hengshan’s freedom.

• Sayaka welcomed Ye Liang into the imperial palace, and he spent the night there before preparing a Flying Thunder God Magic Array to return.
• Spiritual ripples passed over Ye Liang’s doorway, so he stopped preparing the array and entered his Mental Space, where Baiguo and Bai Hengshan joined him.

As neither fighter gained the upper hand, Sayaka and the other Queens worried about the consequences of the fight, while Ye Liang prepared to use a stronger move.

• Arachne demanded that Ye Liang surrender Hera's Law Orb, so Ye Liang agreed to give it to her if she won their duel.
