Lin En confronted the Lord of Crimson, fought Yuzhi Liu Si over the Red Moon’s revival, and learned that Hana Ye was meant to become the King of the Red Moon’s vessel. The discovery sent Lin En and Ophiel racing back to Clockwork City as the Red Moon’s return drew near.

• Lin En revealed his deception to Ophiel and forced her to consider helping him protect Clockwork City from the coming invasion.
• Lin En fled the Cathedral with Hana Ye, but the Lord of Crimson trapped them aboard an airship and revealed Nero as her prepared vessel before Firstborn intervened.
• Lin En descended into the ruins beneath the Gobi, where he fought Yuzhi Liu Si and summoned Ophiel from the Spirit Coffin to help defeat him.
• Jiu arrived and wounded Yuzhi Liu Si, then gave Lin En the power of Riftblade Flower so he and Ophiel could pursue him into the Spirit Realm.
• Lin En and Ophiel found Yuzhi Liu Si trying to revive Hua Yin, but the creature behind the chained door devoured him and burned with him as Ophiel watched.
• Firstborn drove off the other Great Demons and fought the Lord of Crimson, but the Great Corrupter attacked while he was probing her memories.
• Lin En searched Yuzhi Liu Si’s records and learned that Hua Yin had prepared Hana Ye’s soul to serve as the King of the Red Moon’s vessel.
• Lin En realized Hana Ye might bring the King of the Red Moon back that night, so he seized Ophiel’s hand and rushed toward Clockwork City.
