After the Limitless Immortal Sect killed the Lei family ancestor, Lei Mingshan tried to offer compensation, but Zhang Meng declared him doomed and prepared to execute him as Wind-Thunder Manor’s elders refused to join the fight.

• Zhang Meng and several Limitless Immortal Sect elders arrived at Wind-Thunder Manor and demanded that Lei Mingshan answer for targeting Li Dalong.

• Zhang Meng promised to spare Wind-Thunder Manor members who did not interfere, while Lei Mingshan ordered an attack and only a few disciples joined him as the elders held back.

Ouyang Zixuan betrayed Lei Mingshan and offered him up to Zhang Meng and the Limitless Immortal Sect, prompting Wind-Thunder Manor’s elders to attack their former lord. Lei Mingshan self-detonated to take them with him, leaving Ouyang Zixuan badly injured.

• Ouyang Zixuan rejoiced that the Limitless Immortal Sect recognized his rule and decided he would not serve as cannon fodder for the force that had aided Lei Mingshan.
• Ye Xingchen learned the matter was resolved and concluded that killing Lei Mingshan’s father would be enough to warn those behind Wind-Thunder Manor.

After the Wind-Thunder Manor matter was resolved, Li Dalong returned to the Cloud Glow Sect and entered seclusion to break through to the Great Luo golden immortal realm. He successfully passed his tribulation and emerged as an early-stage Great Luo golden immortal, while Ke Meili arranged a modest celebration within the sect.

Li Dalong was sent to investigate the mysterious disappearances at the Cloud Glow Sect’s vital Nine Dragon Mountain Immortal Stone Mine after several teams, including an elder, vanished inside. He restored order at the mine and began examining its vast, dark network of tunnels.

Li Dalong investigated the mine where an elder had fallen, then survived a surprise attack by a Nether Shadow Spirit Cat. After blinding and injuring the beast with Flame Dragon Talismans, he confronted it in the tunnel, where it struck back with demon power.

• Li Dalong secured the mine entrance and marked the tunnels with defensive formations and High-Grade Flying Swords as he searched for traces of the elder’s death.
