• Three days later, Lin Feng and Mr. Hong attended a feast at the Sword Sect, where Zhou Haitian introduced Nalan Rongruo as a Grandmaster-level elder; Lin Feng and Mr. Hong recognized him as the long-lost Patriarch Rongruo.

• As Grandmasters returned to the Sword Sect and the preaching assembly drew near, Lin Feng worried that Great Void Evil Spirits might learn Myriad Swords Returning to Origin.

Lin Feng and Mr. Hong faced open hostility from Grandmasters at the Sword Sect’s preaching assembly, and Huo Leiluo and Dai Songhe accused Lin Feng of massacring their families and a million martial artists. Lin Feng admitted killing the Huo and Dai family heads, leaving the assembled Grandmasters waiting to hear his defense.

• Zhou Haitian introduced Lin Feng and Mr. Hong to the Grandmasters, but Huo Leiluo ignored them and Dai Yin greeted them with a scornful snort.

• Lin Feng split Dai Yin's head with a sword strike, but other Grandmasters intervened before Dai Yin's black-qi-wreathed primordial spirit could escape.

• After returning to Cloud Sword Peak, Lin Feng told Mr. Hong that Dai Yin was a Great Void Evil Spirit and that the faction might have sent him to test or capture Lin Feng.

Lin Feng finished lecturing on Myriad Swords Returning to Origin, but the grandmasters failed to break through and accused him of withholding its essence. When Dai Yin proposed that Nalan Rongruo search Lin Feng’s soul, Lin Feng agreed only after Nalan Rongruo promised to teach him the Soul Searching Technique first.

• Lin Feng completed his explanation of Myriad Swords Returning to Origin, but none of the grandmasters gained a breakthrough.

• Lin Feng refused to submit without knowing the technique and persuaded Nalan Rongruo to teach it to him first.
• Nalan Rongruo agreed to teach Lin Feng the Soul Searching Technique, and Lin Feng promised to permit the search if he found nothing wrong with it.

Lin Feng used the Soul Searching Technique to expose his extraordinary comprehension before the Grandmasters, who doubted he had learned it so quickly. After Ji Yuehua taught him Thousand Mile Instant to test him, Lin Feng emerged ready to demonstrate the movement technique.

• Nalan Rongruo taught Lin Feng the Soul Searching Technique, and Lin Feng memorized it after one explanation.
• Lin Feng perfected the technique in the secret chamber and told the Grandmasters that it damaged the soul, then demonstrated his superior mastery.

• Lin Feng detected that the Grandmasters had left and decided to return to the Sword Sect to claim his promised reward from Zhou Haitian.

Lin Feng returned to the Sword Sect to collect a generous reward, including pills and a rare marrow-refining method that deepened his suspicions about the Great Void. When he got back to Cloud Sword Peak, he discovered that one of his Mental Bodies in Wuji Palace had been killed.

After reuniting with his family at Kaoshan Village, he learned that people in the Demonic Path lived well and planned to investigate its heartland himself.

• Lin Feng told Mr. Hong that a Great Void Evil Spirit had destroyed his Mental Body, and Mr. Hong advised him to let the investigators search rather than risk a direct clash.

• Lin Feng spent Breakthrough Points upgrading the Divine Marrow Cleansing Scripture until he perfected the Marrow Refining Realm, but he postponed breaking through to Grandmaster.

• The Old Dragon King transferred his power to Sun Yu, died, and urged him to unite the Guardian Tribes and restore their lineage.

• The Snake Demon revealed her father and elder brother's plans to rebel, and Sun Yu welcomed her into the palace and promised to marry her.

• Lin Feng flew toward the Demonic Beast Royal Court with the Rat Demon, who said they would arrive in about an hour.

• Sun Yu urged the rebels to withdraw, causing some chieftains to hesitate, but the Crocodile Tribe chieftain insisted there was no turning back.
• The Crocodile Tribe chieftain ordered an attack, and the other tribes joined in, battering the Fire Dragon Array.

• The Crocodile Tribe chief leapt above the array and brought his club down in an attempt to break it.

The Crocodile Demon led the chiefs in merging into the Heaven and Earth Giant Demon, which shattered Sun Yu’s Fire Dragon Array and threatened to kill him. Lin Feng arrived to protect his brother, killed three Star Pavilion martial artists, and faced the Crocodile Demon’s attack.

• The Crocodile Demon called Lin Feng a bluffer and attacked him with the Heaven and Earth Giant Demon’s joined fists.
