Their inspection of Gungnir revealed a hidden power of destruction, leaving Lin Xiao suspecting that a mysterious figure was behind the strange influence on their thoughts.

• Qian Daoliu agreed that Spirit Hall would cooperate with Lin Xiao on Soul Spirit technology but asked for proof and reassurance about divine involvement.

The Myriad Demon King discovered that Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass carried a trace of the Blue Silver Emperor’s bloodline and suspected he was Ah Yin’s child, adding him to his list while deciding not to interfere directly. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang advised the Shrek party on fourth soul rings and proposed an evolved solitary bamboo for Tang San, before turning to Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

• The Myriad Demon King sensed Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and concluded that Tang San might be the child of a human and Ah Yin.

• The Myriad Demon King sent disguised Soul Beasts toward Shrek, while the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor secretly carried the Thousand-Year Lone Bamboo near the group.
• After Zhu Zhuqing noticed a strange howl, Tang San led the group toward it and they found a wounded Silver Moon Wolf beside a fragrant bamboo.
