• Li Xiaoya called to the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma, who woke and emerged from his body, apparently unaware that she had slept for more than six hundred years.

Li Xiaoya's four clones killed the two Six-Winged Human-Faced Red-Feathered Beasts that had approached his mountain valley, fearing they would reveal his presence.

Two surviving Six-Winged Human-Faced Red-Feathered Beasts discovered signs that an outsider occupied the Antelope Tiger Beast's valley and sought out Nineteen Niang to report it.
