Arc 1Angel’s Rise and Tang Sect Gambit
Cheng Ran guided Qian Renxue through a break with Bibi Dong, rapid cultivation, and the recovery of Ah Yin’s body and Soul Bone. The arc left Tang San exposed as a secret practitioner of Tang Sect arts while Cheng Ran offered to seek his admission in exchange for Ah Yin’s return.
- Cheng Ran took control of Qian Renxue and stood up to Bibi Dong in Pope Hall, prompting Bibi Dong to sever their mother-daughter relationship and accept Qian Renxue’s challenge to fight in three years.
- Qian Daoliu revealed that Qian Xunji had assaulted Bibi Dong, and Cheng Ran named the rare herbs and Sea God’s Light he needed to rebuild his body.
- Qian Renxue trained in Sunset Forest, cured Dugu Yan, recruited Dugu Bo, and used immortal herbs to temper her body and evolve her Angel Martial Soul.
- Qian Renxue absorbed a thirty-eight-thousand-year Radiant Three-Headed Phoenix’s soul ring, reached level fifty-six, and gained Azure Luan Douluo’s loyalty.
- Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu recovered Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor body and right leg bone, leaving Tang Hao a forged Tang Sect threat that made him suspect Tang San had stolen its secret arts.
- Tang Hao told Tang San how Ah Yin had sacrificed herself, while Tang San admitted he had misremembered parts of the techniques and decided to adjust his story about their origin.
- Qian Renxue planted Ah Yin’s body in the Worship Hall’s Medicine Garden and absorbed her right leg bone as Cheng Ran planned to enter Slaughter City after securing the Tang Sect techniques.
- Cheng Ran confronted Tang San in the waterfall cave, offered to seek his admission to the Tang Sect, and promised Tang Hao an answer within ten days before Ah Yin would be returned.
