• Nie Li used the Demon Blood to draw a Magic Array and Soul Seals that would trap the Heavenly Kirin Beast and prevent it from harming Du Ze.

• The Nether Realm Controller sent the group out of the ninth layer to say goodbye to their families, but Nie Li led them toward the Desert Divine Palace before they returned to Glory City.
