Jiang Feng led the ten Demon Hunt Squads on a night raid against a Demon Race grain convoy, and the squads agreed to attack independently while supporting one another.

• Jiang Feng drove his sword into the Bloodthirsty Beta's eye and unleashed Sunlight Slash inside its eye socket, then took the box from its neck.

After the battle, Jiang Feng’s squad received the Mysterious Box’s Light Elemental Spirit, which he gave to Murong Xian’er to absorb. As dawn broke, Jiang Xinran told Jiang Feng that she felt their distance growing, and he drew her into his arms.

• Dragon Baby killed the seventh-order Bloodthirsty Beta, devoured its magic crystal, and Jiang Feng’s group helped finish the battle before returning to Exorcist Pass.
• Jiang Feng persuaded his squad that keeping the Bloodthirsty Beta’s corpse and the Mysterious Box was more valuable than reporting their achievements for extra merit points.

After informing Demon Hunt Squad One and reassuring Jiang Xinran, he left Exorcist City with Shangguan Yan to investigate the ruin.

• Jiang Feng and Shangguan Yan traveled beyond Exorcist Pass to a barren mountain range near Demon Territory, where a Sky-Ban Formation prevented them from flying.

• Shangguan Yan explained that her companions were guarding the area, then entered the small world with Jiang Feng to scout it out.

Jiang Feng entered the Goddess of Light’s shrinking world, absorbed its dense light element, and obtained a golden bead that might be her inner core. He returned to find Shangguan Yan fighting a powerful eighth-order Demon Race man.

• Jiang Feng learned from a Star Unicorn that darkness had torn a hole in the small world, draining its light element, and that a treasure at the mountain’s center was drawing in what remained.
• Shangguan Yan could not enter the mountain, so Jiang Feng climbed alone and compressed his spiritual power, raising its capacity from four thousand to five thousand while remaining at the peak of the fifth order.
• Jiang Feng approached the golden bead at the summit, and it entered his body, where it began absorbing his spiritual power and releasing purer light energy.
• Jiang Feng descended and sensed a battle nearby, then rode Dragon Baby toward Shangguan Yan and saw her fighting a powerful man whose aura radiated darkness.
