Five eighth-tier Weirds met to plan Luo Fan’s death after learning he had killed the Winged Queen, advanced to the fifth tier, and likely obtained Holy City’s Innate Yang Steel. They decided to attack a migrating convoy carrying Luo Fan’s companions, expecting him to come to their aid.

Luo Fan revealed weapons forged from Innate Yang Steel, suppressing the four eighth-tier Weirds, but their rules trapped the Migration Convoy and left An Xiaoran helpless. As the Fog Weird seized her, a sacred power awakened in her and an enormous cross descended, startling the Weird.

• Luo Fan drew the Weird Gun and Demon-Breaking Dagger, and their Innate Yang Steel aura weakened the four Weirds.

• Luo Fan extracted the four rule-type Weird Crystals and stored them as a Black-Robed Weird watched from a distant mountain before fleeing.
• The Migration Convoy set off again, and Luo Fan decided to use the crystals to strengthen his companions, choosing An Xiaoran first.

Luo Fan distributed four rule-type weird crystals to An Xiaoran, the Aerospace Base, Zhao Chunfeng, and Niu Dagang before leading the Migration Convoy east into Sichuan. When the convoy spotted a town still lit by electric lights, Luo Fan went ahead alone to investigate, leaving the story at the town’s outskirts.

• Luo Fan gave a silver-white rule-type weird crystal to An Xiaoran and a deep-green one to Jiang Shengnan for the Aerospace Base.

Luo Fan investigated Peach Blossom Spring Town, a well-lit settlement whose residents were supposedly protected from Weirds and Fierce Beasts. After learning that a powerful formation user concealed the town from them, he asked to meet the man responsible.

• Luo Fan flew from the Migration Convoy's camp to Peach Blossom Spring Town and found its streets clean, brightly lit, and full of relaxed residents.
• Luo Fan read a stone tablet claiming that settlers were exempt from attacks by Weirds and Fierce Beasts, but sensed no Innate Yang Steel nearby.
• Two guards challenged Luo Fan, then relaxed when he ended his Combination and explained that the Nightmare Nekomata was his pet.
• The guards recognized Luo Fan as a Lv53 fifth-tier Sequence User and told him that over three hundred people had lived in the town safely for more than half a month.
• The guards explained that a powerful formation user concealed the town from Weirds and Fierce Beasts, and Luo Fan asked to meet him.

Luo Fan reported Taoyuan Town’s unusual safety and restored utilities, prompting the Holy City’s survivors to debate abandoning their journey to Lin City. He urged them to wait until he learned more, then visited Taoyuan Town with Jiang Shengnan and Han Xiangdong and met its lord.

• Luo Fan returned to camp and described Taoyuan Town, including its protective formation, clean streets, and working utilities.
• Ding Yuening, Zhi Zhou, Han Xiangdong, and other Holy City Sequence Users argued that Taoyuan Town might be a better destination than Lin City.
• Luo Fan warned the group that Taoyuan Town’s seemingly perfect protection needed investigation before they made a decision.
• The next morning, Luo Fan, Jiang Shengnan, and Han Xiangdong visited Taoyuan Town and observed its orderly, prosperous community.
• The guards led the three to the town’s lord, and Luo Fan was surprised when he saw the person waiting inside.

Luo Fan and his companions visited Peach Blossom Spring Town, where its Lv59 mistress invited the Holy City migrants to settle. Jiang Shengnan sensed something familiar about the mistress, and after Luo Fan reported back to the convoy, Zhao Chunfeng began a divination.

• Luo Fan discovered that the mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town was Lv59 and learned that she had seen him on the Yi City Battlefield, though Jiang Shengnan confirmed she had not created the Vision Sealing Formation.
• The mistress hosted Luo Fan, Jiang Shengnan, and Han Xiangdong for lunch and offered to accommodate the Holy City migrants in her town.
• As they left, Han Xiangdong praised the town, while Jiang Shengnan told Luo Fan that the mistress’s smile and gaze felt familiar.
• Luo Fan returned to the convoy camp and told Zhao Chunfeng, An Xiaoran, and the others about the visit and the mistress’s level.
• Jiang Shengnan described her unease, and Zhao Chunfeng took out a turtle shell and copper coins to perform a divination.

Zhao Chunfeng’s Divination and the Golden Weird Mirror both failed to identify Peach Blossom Spring Town’s owner, so Luo Fan kept the Migration Convoy’s destination set for Lin City. The owner secretly ordered her Sequence Users to watch the convoy and prevent it from leaving the area, while the convoy set out at night.

• Zhao Chunfeng’s Divination failed to reveal Peach Blossom Spring Town’s owner, and the group agreed to avoid the town and continue toward Lin City.
• Luo Fan asked the Golden Weird Mirror about the owner, but after a long delay it answered, “Don’t know.”
• Peach Blossom Spring Town’s owner ordered her Sequence Users to monitor Luo Fan’s convoy and report if it tried to leave the area.
• The owner watched the convoy’s distant campsite and said Luo Fan should not hurry to leave because their meeting was fate.
• Luo Fan’s convoy set out at night after resting during the day to reduce the danger of attracting weirds.

Luo Fan’s convoy was stopped at night by the mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town, who revealed that she wanted him—not the convoy—to stay. When she hinted that they had known each other for a long time, Zhao Chunfeng joked that Luo Fan had abandoned her, and her surprise at learning he already had a wife left their history unresolved.

• Luo Fan stopped absorbing an eighth-tier weird crystal when the mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town blocked the convoy’s road.
• Luo Fan’s companions surrounded him warily, but he spoke politely to the woman and tried to avoid a confrontation.
• The woman said she had come to keep Luo Fan, not the Migration Convoy, and insisted that they had known each other for a long time.
• Luo Fan said he did not recognize her, while Zhao Chunfeng teased him about abandoning her and Luo Fan warned him not to upset his wife, the Weird Bride.
• The mistress reacted with shock and asked when Luo Fan had gotten a wife.

The mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town tried to reveal who she was to Luo Fan, but an unknown force prevented her from speaking or writing. After she left, Luo Fan considered how her situation related to the Unnameable and suddenly formed a theory about her identity.

• The mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town tried to tell Luo Fan who she was, but her words could not be heard.
• She tried to write her identity in the dirt, but an invisible force stopped the stick from making a mark.
• The mistress called Luo Fan hopelessly stupid and hurried away into the night.
• Luo Fan sent the Migration Convoy moving again and later pondered the woman’s connection to the unnameable.
• Luo Fan suddenly sprang from his bed after forming a theory about the mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town.

Luo Fan realized concept-level power had sealed the mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town’s identity and gathered faith points to use his godhead authority against it. He returned to the town and found her angrily throwing things before asking whether she believed he could learn who she was.

• Luo Fan deduced that an unnameable Weird had prevented the mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town from revealing her identity and that his godhead authority could break the seal.
• Luo Fan gathered faith from An Xiaoran, Mo Yuling, Jiang Shengnan, Zhi Zhou, and the Sequence Users at camp, then left for Peach Blossom Spring Town.
• Luo Fan reached the mistress’s home under his Invisibility Cloak and overheard her angrily complaining that he had failed to recognize her and had run away.
• Luo Fan revealed himself, caught the mistress throwing things, and told her he could find out who she was.

Luo Fan learned that the mistress of Peach Blossom Spring Town was the Qipao Weird, his longtime companion, whose identity and powers had been concealed by her father, the Years Weird. After they reunited, Luo Fan offered to ask the Holy City migrants whether they wanted to settle in town and help her understand humans and advance her Time Rule.

• The mistress believed Luo Fan could uncover her identity, giving him enough Specialized Faith Points to activate his Godhead Authority.
• She revealed that she had met Luo Fan in Jiangkou Town and watched him fuse with the Godhead Fragment in the Void Temple, and he recognized her as the Qipao Weird.
• She explained that her father, the Years Weird, had used Concept Level power to disguise her as a human and prevent her from revealing herself or meeting Luo Fan.
• She said Peach Blossom Spring Town was protected by her father's power and that its sanctuary would end when she broke through to the Control Level.
• Luo Fan affirmed their trust and offered to ask the Holy City migrants whether they wanted to stay in town and help her study human life.
• Luo Fan asked what name he should use for her while her identity remained secret.

Luo Fan and the Qipao Weird agreed to present her as Lin Wanqing, his childhood friend, while keeping her true identity hidden. He then told the Migration Convoy that Peach Blossom Spring Town was safe for now but could not protect them forever, leaving them to decide what to do.

• The Qipao Weird teased Luo Fan by asking him to call her “darling,” then confronted him about rumors that he had a wife; Luo Fan denied being married.
• Luo Fan warned that the Years Weird might discover their meeting, so they settled on calling her Sister Lin in public and Big Sis in private, with a cover story that they were childhood friends.
• Luo Fan returned to camp and told Zhao Chunfeng that Lin Wanqing was an old childhood friend who had recognized him.
• Luo Fan gathered Jiang Shengnan, Mo Yuling, Han Xiangdong, Zhi Zhou, Ding Yuening, and other core Sequence Users, and explained that Peach Blossom Spring Town's protection would end when its owner broke through.
• Luo Fan assured the group that the town would remain safe and its water and electricity would continue working until then, and asked them what they would choose.

Luo Fan advised Han Xiangdong and the Holy City survivors to settle in Peach Blossom Spring Town, and more than four thousand people moved in. As Luo Fan left town, a hostile Weird emerged from a spacetime vortex on a nearby mountain and recognized someone it wanted to kill.

• Luo Fan recommended Peach Blossom Spring Town because it was nearby and had running water and electricity, and Ding Yuening, Zhi Zhou, and Han Xiangdong chose to stay.
• The Holy City survivors returned to Peach Blossom Spring Town, where Zhi Zhou assigned lodgings and Han Xiangdong assessed the defenses.
• Residents settled into the town and marveled at its clean water, electric lights, and equal housing, while many expressed gratitude to Luo Fan.
• Lin Wanqing told Luo Fan that she would study human society to improve her Rule Mastery, and Luo Fan prepared to leave town.
• A Weird stepped from a spacetime vortex onto a nearby mountain, looked toward Peach Blossom Spring Town, and said it had returned and seen someone it wanted to kill.
