After Meng Chen returned bloodied from an ambush, Qian Renxue vowed to uncover and punish those responsible. Ning Rongrong learned he was safe at the Crown Prince's Residence, though the identities of his attackers remained unknown.

• Meng Chen told Qian Renxue that Soul Ancestors had ambushed him outside Heaven Dou City, but hid his role in killing them and Gu Yuena's appearance.

In her courtyard, Gu Yuena recovered from using her sealed Dragon King Origin and realized that Meng Chen had concealed the Golden Dragon King's power.

• Ning Rongrong asked to confront Prince Xue Xing, but Ning Fengzhi said there was no conclusive evidence and ordered the sect's contacts to assist the investigation.

• Gu Yuena recalled Meng Chen's Golden Dragon Claw and concluded that he was still the Golden Dragon King, despite his rabbit-like appearance.
