At the Misty Cloud Sect, Gu He plotted to claim Yun Yun after obtaining a Heavenly Flame, while secretly intending to let Yun Shan die without the Sect Breaking Pill.

• Fan Tian and Zi Yan arrived in Jia Ma Holy City after months of treasure hunting and banditry, then asked a waiter for news about the empire.
• The waiter told Fan Tian that Yun Yun would marry a suitor who defeated her and offered an Azure Nether Longevity Pill and a Sect Breaking Pill, though a Dou Wang could qualify if he met her underlying requirements.

Gu He and Xiao Yan set out for the Tagor Desert as Queen Medusa prepared to evolve with the green lotus core flame. Fan Tian reached Desert City, recruited Qing Lin as his maid, and ended the chapter teasing Hai Bodong in a map shop.

• Gu He gathered three Dou Emperors and five Dou Wangs to travel to the Tagor Desert and seize the heavenly flame from Queen Medusa.

• Fan Tian rewarded the three Heavenly Mansion Dou Wangs for finding Qing Lin, then went with them to a map shop and told Hai Bodong to light him a cigarette.

Fan Tian confronted Hai Bodong in Desert City, revealed that he knew the former Ice Emperor’s identity, and removed the seal on his strength in exchange for a map fragment. Hai Bodong regained his peak Dou Emperor power and offered to follow Fan Tian, who gave him an Emperor's Extreme Pill and set out with him into the desert.

• Fan Tian accepted Hai Bodong’s offer, gave him an Emperor's Extreme Pill, and left for the great desert with Zi Yan and Qing Lin.

Fan Tian retrieved Medusa’s Seven-Colored Snake Scale and left the desert with Zi Yan, Hai Bodong, and the others. In Wutan City, Gu Xun’er received a wooden box she believed was from Xiao Yan, opened it, and began reading the first of two letters.

• Fan Tian found the Green Lotus Core Flame’s location but discovered Medusa had already taken it, so he examined her shed Seven-Colored Snake Scale instead.

After learning that Mu Gu of the Hall of Souls had taken the green lotus core flame, Xiao Yan fled the earth’s depths with Yao Lao. Gu He’s party killed Yue Mei while advancing toward Medusa, and Fan Tian crossed paths with Xiao Yan at Desert City before Yao Lao warned that Fan Tian had sensed him.

Gu He’s party arrived at the Snake-People Temple and faced the Snake-People elders, while Fan Tian slipped inside to check on Medusa’s evolution. When the First Elder discovered him and attacked, Fan Tian fled without revealing his strength, drawing the attention of both sides.

• The Snake-People Tribe gathered its elders and guards after the Charming Snake Tribe’s warning token was crushed, and the First Elder ordered intruders killed because Medusa was in a critical state.

• Gu He led Old Yin and Yun Yun in an attack on the city wall while Elder Lei covered them, and the Snake-People elders and commanders engaged the Jia Ma Empire forces.

Gu He saved Yun Yun from the Snake-People Tribe's Fourth Elder, then revealed that Medusa's absence had prompted him to bring Yun Shan and Jia Xingtian into the battle. Fan Tian found Medusa in her weakened Seven-Colored Little Snake form and forced her to transform, whereupon she confronted him as his supposed little master.

• After Fan Tian slapped her head, Medusa transformed into human form and asked whether he had seen enough.
