Luo Fan traveled toward Yi City with the Qipao Weird while survivors began fleeing the city as strange phenomena intensified. He received his newly socketed Wraith Short Sword, whose powerful soul-enslaving effect suited the coming battle, and decided to reroll its dangerous side effect.

• The Qipao Weird told Luo Fan she trusted him enough to travel with him, and he let her board the RV as the Hope Convoy continued toward Yi City.
• Strange phenomena in Yi City caused about a third of its survivors to flee while the rest waited to see what would happen.
• Mr. Mo Mo told Luo Fan that he had finished socketing the Vampiric Short Sword, and Luo Fan completed the trade for the weapon.

• Luo Fan placed the Wraith Short Sword into the reroll function to change its dangerous side effect.

Luo Fan reforged the Wraith Short Sword until its side effect was acceptable, then entered Yi City as the Innate Yin Jade neared completion. The Aerospace Base prepared its remaining weapons and Fierce Beasts for battle, while Luo Fan met the Weird Bride at the city’s center.

• Luo Fan reforged the Wraith Short Sword three times, spending over 90,000 Check-in Funds to settle on a side effect that required a Weird Crystal for each wraith released after battle.

Luo Fan used his Treasure Appraisal function to identify the bean the Puppet Weird had given him as a Demon-Sealing Bean, a powerful treasure that could consume weird qi and spread through Yi City. The Weird Bride explained its effects, leaving Luo Fan with a clearer sense of the danger the bean posed when it was activated.

• The Weird Bride told Luo Fan that the Innate Yin Jade was nearly formed and asked whether the Puppet Weird had contacted him.
• Luo Fan showed the Weird Bride the bean the Puppet Weird had given him, but she could not identify its specific effects.
• Luo Fan paid a 208,000-yuan appraisal fee and learned that the Demon-Sealing Bean would grow into vines that bound targets and drained their weird qi.
• The Weird Bride recognized the bean as a rare treasure and said the Puppet Weird's willingness to use it showed how determined he was to obtain the Innate Yin Jade.
• The Weird Bride explained that the bean's vines would absorb all weird qi in their range, preventing skills that relied on it and spreading farther as they drained more.

Luo Fan and the Weird Bride considered how the Puppet Weird could use the Demon-Sealing Bean without losing its powers, then asked the Golden Weird Mirror for a way to counter it. When the mirror demanded a sixth-tier Weird crystal, a mysterious woman from the Lantern Festival appeared and offered one.

• Luo Fan reasoned that the Puppet Weird must have a way to circumvent the Demon-Sealing Bean's effects, though he and the Weird Bride did not know what it was.

• The Empress Dowager explained that humans and Fierce Beasts could ignite Life Fire by burning vitality, and offered to teach Luo Fan the method.
• The Weird Bride asked if there was another way, but the Empress Dowager said the mirror had revealed none, leaving the Weird Bride unwilling to risk Luo Fan’s vitality.

Luo Fan agreed to burn his lifespan to ignite the Life Fire and protect the Innate Yin Jade, despite the Weird Bride’s objections. As the jade entered its final stage of taking shape, a stone castle rose beneath Yi City and the Puppet Weird appeared.

• The Weird Bride refused Mother-in-law’s plan, but Luo Fan agreed to use his lifespan as fuel for the Life Fire.

• The Puppet Weird charged through Yi City’s vines while other Weird and Sequence Users waited outside the city for him to emerge with the Innate Yin Jade.
• The Demon-Sealing Bean’s vines bound the Weird Bride and Luo Fan, but Luo Fan’s life-fire aura burned the vines away and protected them from their effects.

During the battle outside Yi City, the Hope Convoy’s fighters displayed their strength while Luo Fan and the Weird Bride fought through thousands of Weirds to protect the Innate Yin Jade.

• The attacks shattered the Weird Shadow's hand and sent the Innate Yin Jade flying into An Xiaoran's grasp.

Luo Fan and Ai Si drew the Weird pursuing An Xiaoran away from her, allowing Luo Fan to take the Innate Yin Jade and hide it in his Storage Space.

• A loudspeaker at the Aerospace Base ordered everyone to retreat as the great formation trapped most of the Weird inside.

A sacrificial Magic Formation sealed most of the Weird inside Yi City, while humans attacked those left outside and waited for dawn. As the trapped Weird struggled to escape, Rose slipped beyond the barrier and disguised herself as a human.

• A woman sacrificed her life to raise a Magic Formation around Yi City, trapping most of the Weird inside while human forces attacked those outside.
• The Qipao Weird failed to break through or leap over the rising barrier, and Jiang Shengnan shot her down as she tried to escape.

• The Weird Bride said their plan's success depended on whether Luo Fan had regained his ability, then felt his body react as she drew close to him.
• Luo Fan told the Nightmare Nekomata to go somewhere else, and it angrily protested that the sun was blazing outside.

After reuniting with the Hope Convoy, Luo Fan checked his companions’ growth and asked Niu Dagang and Lin Feifei about their Third-Tier advancement requirements.

• The Weird Bride laughed at Luo Fan for telling the Nightmare Nekomata to leave in the daylight, then confirmed that his ability had returned and took the Innate Yin Jade.

Luo Fan accompanied Niu Dagang to hunt a required beast while Lin Feifei left with Ai Si and Ximen Chuixue, and Han Shanzhong felt behind the other combat users as he searched the battlefield.

• Luo Fan found that his Sequence Level had reached Lv38, while An Xiaoran, Niu Dagang, Zhao Chunfeng, Han Shanzhong, Lin Feifei, Ximen Chuixue, and Ai Si were at Lv34, Lv30, Lv25, Lv29, Lv30, Lv34, and Lv36 respectively.

• Luo Fan absorbed a fifth-tier weird crystal and reached LV38, then regretted that the Weird Shadow’s return had kept him from reaching LV40.
• The Weird Bride told Luo Fan that the Weird Shadow had lost a tier after returning to life, but reminded him that Rose’s damage suggested this might not reveal the Shadow’s true ability.

• The Qipao Weird rode the enlarged Black Bird toward Luo Fan’s RV, excited to meet him and reclaim the Innate Yin Jade.

The Qipao Weird arrived at Luo Fan’s RV seeking the Innate Yin Jade, only to find the Weird Bride, Xiaodie, alive and with him. Xiaodie overpowered the Qipao Weird in their clash, leaving her visibly aged.

• Black Bird brought the Qipao Weird to the RV, where Luo Fan worried about being caught with the Weird Bride before realizing he had no reason to panic.
• The Qipao Weird saw Xiaodie in Luo Fan’s room and asked how she had survived the Yi City Battlefield’s Magic Formation.

• The Qipao Weird admitted she had come after sensing the Innate Yin Jade and revealed that she had reached the control level.
• Xiaodie activated the aging rule, and the Qipao Weird countered with time reversal, but Xiaodie’s power prevailed and visibly aged her.

• The Qipao Weird used her fight with the Weird Bride to distract her from her relationship with Luo Fan, then escaped when she proved no match.
• The Weird Bride said the Qipao Weird had nearly reached Control Level, and Luo Fan agreed that her growth made sense.
• The Weird Bride told Luo Fan she planned to stay with him in Lin City and said her Empress Dowager had likely guessed their relationship.

• Luo Fan and Niu Dagang searched for a fourth- or fifth-tier Copper-Hide Iron-Armor Rhino, but found none during their initial search.
• Luo Fan used his Long-Distance Magnetic Wave Hat to scan the territory and located a fifth-tier Copper-Hide Iron-Armor Rhino feasting on an Ironclad Cattle corpse.
• Luo Fan disguised himself as Zhang Dakai, transformed into an ink-black cheetah, and approached the rhino while Niu Dagang concealed himself.
• Luo Fan used Tearing to slash the rhino's neck, but his claws caused only shallow wounds.
• The enraged rhino thrust its horn at Luo Fan, then activated Charge and rushed at him like a speeding train.
