Lan Ye staged a duel with Monk Yilong to attract disciples and turn the crowd against him, but Yilong’s true defensive qi wall revealed a power Lan Ye recognized from his encounter with a Terrestrial Deity. The crowd urged Lan Ye to finish the fight, unaware that he had been genuinely overwhelmed.

• Lan Ye used illusionary sword techniques and Man and Sword as One against Yilong, then pretended to be thrown back by Yilong’s defenses to impress the spectators.

• Lan Ye recognized the wall of qi as the kind of power he had encountered in a Terrestrial Deity, while the spectators continued demanding that he defeat Yilong.

• True Person Qionghua recognized Ye Liang as the visitor Lan Ye had mentioned and asked why he wanted to meet the emperor, enclosing them in a barrier so others could not hear.

Ye Liang learned that the Bai Family’s persecution was tied to the Immortality Pill and the Xuanhu Sect, whose subordinate was True Person Qionghua’s Diancang Sect. Qionghua refused to help but promised not to obstruct Ye Liang, who left with a palace map determined to rescue Master Bai himself.

• Lan Caichen said the sect should not interfere in mortal affairs and concluded that a traitor might be responsible.

Ye Liang followed Lan Caichen into Concealment Gorge, where Lan Caichen revealed that he had lured him there to kill him on the Xuanhu Sect Master's orders. Ye Liang struggled against Lan Caichen's refined cultivation arts but countered his giant lightning hand with the Curry Stick.

• Ye Liang questioned how far the Xuanhu Sect was as Lan Caichen led him through Concealment Gorge to a secluded valley.
• Lan Caichen attacked Ye Liang from behind with a miniature Hooked Scythe and admitted he intended to kill him because Ye Liang had exposed the Great Yuan Kingdom affair.

• Lan Caichen used Innate Primordial Qi Great Grasp to form a giant lightning hand, but Ye Liang shattered it with the Curry Stick and swung at Lan Caichen.

• Ye Liang escaped Xuanhu Sect and hid in a recessed wall to recover and seek a way to contact Venerable Lan Tianyu.
