Leng Xingye entered Gu Chenfeng’s dream to check on him, but he overpowered her in the dream and accidentally helped her break through a seal. Gu Chenfeng woke after being healed by Demon Race Alliance medics and realized he was surrounded by demon warriors who mistook him for a Dragon Race warrior.

• As Gu Chenfeng tried to leave the tent, someone outside asked whether the rescued Dragon Race warrior was alive and ordered him to return to the Dragon Race.
