• The Evil Emperor’s projection overwhelmed the group with darkness and fear, forcing Lei Ying to carry the helpless Xiao Yan out of the tower as Gu Yuan and Yan Jin covered their retreat.
• Xiao Yan explained that the Evil Emperor’s power had drained his Dou Qi and suggested attacking all at once, so the four returned to the tower and struck the Evil Emperor together.

• After twenty-one days, Ying Huanhuan returned and surrendered the Ice Ancestral Talisman to Dugu Bo, who took it and demanded that she come with him.

• The Evil Emperor secretly planted a Seed of Fear in Lin Dong and used whispers and the sense of being watched to frighten him, gaining levels as Lin Dong grew increasingly strained.
• The Evil Emperor reached level 192, paused his torment of Lin Dong so he could recover, and set out to search for the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman.
