Yun Che accepted an S-rank quest from imperial envoy Cao Taichun to help Great Yuan’s Seventh Princess, Li Muling, break through and defeat Divine Sun’s Fifth Princess, Ouyang Qing.

Yun Che headed for Red Skull Island as the Great Red Skull Bandit Group prepared to use an Emperor Realm Demon Core to fight Falling Moon. When Great Yuan's Flying Boat fleet attacked, the bandits launched poison defenses, including a toxin the empire could not counter.

• Yun Che left Falling Moon Academy and flew toward Red Skull Island with little Young Phoenix.
• Chai Shuyu continued the dangerous Demon Core experiments despite mounting deaths and threatened to make anyone who tried to leave the bandit group a test subject.
• Hong Mian volunteered to become a test subject, warned that Great Yuan's Flying Boat fleet would soon attack, and argued that success depended on the subject's mind.
• A subordinate reported that Great Yuan's fleet had arrived, and Chai Shuyu ordered the bandits to unleash poison fog rather than face the fleet directly.
• Gaia led ten Flying Boats toward Red Skull Island, but Heavenly Fragrance Muscle-Softening Powder weakened soldiers after they landed.
• Mo Tian's secretly copied Spirit-Felling Powder formula gave the bandits a poison that Great Yuan still could not counter.

Chai Shuyu used powdered poison carried in sea mist to weaken the Great Yuan army, while Yun Che arrived at Red Skull Island and began slaughtering its bandits. Gaia was badly wounded after fighting Zhang Yong, Mo Tian, and Qian Li, leaving him cornered as the battle continued.

• Chai Shuyu turned Spirit-Felling Powder and Heavenly Fragrance Muscle-Softening Powder into sea mist, then led the Great Red Skull Bandit Group in a counterattack that weakened the Great Yuan soldiers.

• Gaia fought Zhang Yong, Mo Tian, and Qian Li despite the poison, but Mo Tian ambushed him and drove a sword through his abdomen.

• Hong Mian attacked Yun Che with his eight barbed tentacles, but Yun Che switched to Fistmaster Order Annihilator and smashed him into the ground with one punch.
• Hong Mian went mad as a golden crown began forming above his head, leaving Yun Che stunned.

Yun Che continued fighting Hong Mian after the demon broke through to the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, while Gaia withdrew Great Yuan's fleet from Red Skull Island. Overwhelmed by Hong Mian's sudden speed and relentless attacks, Yun Che took out the Gluttony Mask as the battle continued.

• Yun Che failed to stop Hong Mian from forming a crown and reaching the Pseudo-Emperor Realm.
• Gaia ordered Great Yuan's Flying Boat fleet to retreat, while Feng Chu stayed behind to wait for Yun Che.
• Hong Mian attacked Yun Che, but Yun Che's greater speed let him overpower the demon with repeated blows.
• Hong Mian revealed a speed-type talent and battered Yun Che with rapid attacks, though Yun Che blocked each potentially fatal strike with his sword.
• Yun Che's spiritual energy began to run low, so he took out the Gluttony Mask.

Yun Che defeated Hong Mian with the Gluttony Mask, advanced to the Early King Realm, and claimed the treasury on Red Skull Island. He then found a vast trove of riches and ancient inheritance scrolls beneath a sea cliff, leaving him to consider whether to build his own territory or seize a throne.

• Yun Che wore the Gluttony Mask, overpowered Hong Mian, and killed him with a final punch.

• Yun Jin appeared beside the attendant and asked Yun Che to step aside so he could see Master.

Yun Che dismissed Yun Jin’s boastful visit, heard more absurd rumors about his romantic past, and considered intervening in the Tianshui Sect’s future crisis to gain the loyalty of the Emperor Realm powerhouse imprisoned beneath it. He then departed with Cao Taichun for the Great Yuan Imperial City to help the Seventh Princess break through, and their Flying Boat flew directly toward the imperial palace.

• Yun Jin ignored Yun Che’s warning about the Old Drunkard and was thrown out of the courtyard, while Yun Che continued to the academy square with the thin attendant.
• The thin attendant mocked Yun Che about his rumored romantic debts, and Yun Che used Divine Hand on passersby, accidentally removing an academic instructor’s kidney stone.
• Yun Che recalled the Tianshui Sect’s coming destruction by the Blood God Sect and resolved to investigate early so he could try to free and recruit the Emperor Realm powerhouse beneath it.
• Cao Taichun invited Yun Che to depart, and Ye Qingshuang saw him off as he boarded Cao Taichun’s Flying Boat to help the Seventh Princess break through.
• The Flying Boat reached the Great Yuan Imperial City, where Cao Taichun’s status allowed it to bypass the usual rules and fly straight toward the imperial palace.

Yun Che met Emperor Li Yue and chose the Imperial City Underground Key from the emperor’s available treasures, then was sent to see the seventh princess.

• Wu Qingcheng reported that the Blood God Sect demanded ten female disciples each month and threatened to raze the Tianshui Sect in seven days.
• Duanmu Qiuyue ordered the Tianshui Sect to keep seeking assistance and avoid fighting the Blood God Sect unless there was no other choice.

Yun Che struggled to train the lethargic Seventh Princess, Li Muling, and found a way to make her cultivate and master swordsmanship while asleep. After she broke through to the Acquired Realm, Yun Che learned that the Tianshui Sect’s troubles involved the Blood God Sect and decided he needed to investigate soon.

• Cao Taichun introduced Yun Che as Li Muling’s new cultivation tutor, but she fell asleep instead of speaking with him.
• Yun Che repeatedly recited Li Muling’s cultivation technique and taught her the Sleepwalking Mad Sword until she could follow its moves while asleep.
• Li Muling began circulating spiritual energy under Yun Che’s guidance and broke through to the Acquired Realm in front of Cao Taichun.
• Cao Taichun praised Yun Che, then gave him information about the Tianshui Sect and warned him that the Blood God Sect was a powerful threat.
• Yun Che read the documents and decided to go to the Tianshui Sect soon because its situation was worsening faster than expected.

Yun Che flew to the besieged Tianshui Sect and accepted a mission from Duanmu Qiuyue to repel the Blood God Sect. After effortlessly killing an attacking Innate expert, he prepared to face the invaders for a reward of seventy percent of the sect’s wealth and 100000 experience points.

• Yun Che left the imperial palace aboard the Silver Shuttle, while Cao Taichun wondered about Yun Che’s hidden secrets and the flying boat’s origins.

• Duanmu Qiuyue asked Yun Che to help repel the Blood God Sect, and he accepted her SS-Rank mission.

Yun Che rescued Ning Yi, an Emperor Realm expert imprisoned beneath the Tianshui Sect, and learned that Ning Yi had been waiting for Wu Qingxin to return. Wu Qingcheng delivered a letter from her grandaunt, and Ning Yi's excitement disappeared as he read it.

• Yun Che used Divine Intent Fist to break open the ground and reveal Ning Yi, who mistook him for an enemy and tried to unleash his power.
• Duanmu Qiuyue and Wu Qingcheng explained that Yun Che was not an enemy, and Ning Yi said he would remain imprisoned until Wu Qingxin returned.

• Yun Che asked Ning Yi to follow him if he could rescue him safely, and Ning Yi swore to become Yun Che's bodyguard if the rescue succeeded.
• Wu Qingcheng brought Ning Yi the letter, and his delighted expression vanished after he read it.

Ning Yi learned that Wu Qingxin had chosen the sword over him, and his grief turned his great-accomplishment sentimental sword intent into perfect heartless sword intent, which Yun Che obtained with Divine Hand. Yun Che freed Ning Yi and persuaded him to help eliminate the Blood God Sect before seeking revenge on Situ Kong, who had imprisoned him beneath the Tianshui Sect.

• Wu Qingxin sent Ning Yi a message ending their promise and saying she would devote her life to sword Dao, so Ning Yi's sentimental sword intent became heartless.
• Yun Che used Divine Hand on Ning Yi's heartless sword intent and obtained it at the perfect level.
• Yun Che used the Seal-Breaking Seal to remove Ning Yi's Soul-Suppressing Needle, freeing him; Ning Yi agreed to become Yun Che's personal bodyguard after settling his score.
• Yun Che persuaded Ning Yi to travel with him to defeat the three King Realm experts of the Blood God Sect and then investigate Ning Yi's attacker.
• While flying, Ning Yi revealed that he had survived using stored supplies and pills, and explained that Situ Kong had imprisoned him out of jealousy over Wu Qingxin.

Yun Che attacked the Blood God Sect while its master forced Song Li to assault Le Zhengyun in exchange for a promise of freedom. Yun Che killed the sect’s three King Realm leaders, leaving the Sect’s fate in his hands.
