Yang Yong inspected the convoy’s stalls, learned that He Jing had supplied a fuel substitute, and discovered that Taoist was a woman named Ma Xiaotong who wanted him to forge her peachwood sword. He then spoke with Monk about the sariras and ended by asking how much they cost.

• Skinny Monkey told Yang Yong that He Jing’s Combustion Agent could replace gasoline and keep a van running for a hundred kilometers per liter.
• Yang Yong inspected the stalls and realized that Taoist was a Taoist nun who introduced herself as Ma Xiaotong and asked him to forge her cracked peachwood sword.
• Yang Yong examined the sword but only said he would think about the request before moving on.
• Monk told Yang Yong that his grandmaster had foretold a great calamity and that he would follow whoever could use the ancestral sariras.
• Yang Yong recalled that the sariras had reacted to the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace rather than to him, then asked Monk how he was selling them.

Yang Yong investigated a suspicious trade with the women’s convoy after Cao Xianming warned him not to accept any deal. When a stallkeeper hesitated over his extremely low offer for a Man-Eating Black Goat horn, Yang Yong suspected the Curio Materials came at no cost and offered five jin of rice for all of them.

• The Monk refused to sell Yang Yong a relic, saying he would give relics only to people with a karmic connection.
• Li Haijian relayed Cao Xianming’s warning that Yang Yong should bargain with the women’s convoy but must not trade with them.
• Yang Yong noticed that the Survival Convoy had raised its prices dramatically and suspected the women’s trade had a hidden catch.
• Yang Yong recognized a Man-Eating Black Goat horn among the women’s Curio Materials and offered one jin of rice after the stallkeeper asked for five.
• When the stallkeeper hesitated at his low offer, Yang Yong stopped her from accepting and offered five jin of rice for all the Curio Materials.

Yang Yong uncovered suspicious behavior by the women at the trading area, and Cao Xianming ordered him to stop them. After Wang Ying and Yang Yong captured the short woman, she vanished into smoke, leaving Yang Yong questioning what kind of Sequence Transcendence she possessed.

• Yang Yong sensed danger when the stallholder eagerly offered to trade, left the trading area, and told Cao Xianming what had happened.
• Cao Xianming analyzed Yang Yong's account and ordered him to surround the women, but Yang Yong arrived as they rode away and abandoned their goods.
• Yang Yong called for Wang Ying, who severed the horses' legs with her Black Gold Bone Blade and brought the fleeing women down.
• The short woman summoned a pack of wolves to carry her away, but Wang Ying cut the wolves' legs and Yang Yong's Heavenly Dragon Slash Flying Daggers stopped the woman.
• The short woman surrendered without showing fear, then turned into smoke and vanished, leaving Yang Yong wondering whether she belonged to the Keeper Sequence.

After a group of women collapsed into strange, seizure-like states, Zhu Yuhao treated them while Yang Yong and the convoy waited for answers. When one woman woke with no memory, Cao Xianming realized that nobody could remember how the women had introduced themselves, deepening the mystery around them.

• The women began babbling and convulsing after the short woman dissolved into smoke, so Yang Yong called for Zhu Yuhao.
• Zhu Yuhao stabilized the women and said they had suffered a stress response, though some might not wake for days or could remain vegetative.
• Cao Xianming arrived as the convoy’s Transcendents and ordinary survivors gathered around the unconscious women.
• One woman woke and asked, “Who am I? How did I get here?”
• Cao Xianming asked how the women had introduced themselves, and everyone realized they could not remember.

Yang Yong realized a hidden power had made the Survival Convoy overlook the women’s origins, and he sent the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost to investigate. When Liu Jiaqi’s head exploded as she tried to recall her past, the Monk suspected a hypnotic restriction planted by a Hypnotist Sequence Transcendent.

• Yang Yong discovered that no one in the Survival Convoy remembered asking where the women came from, and he summoned the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost to track the escaped woman.
• Cao Xianming hurriedly entered his calculations and information into the Data Model before his memories could be erased.
• Peng Fan questioned Liu Jiaqi, who remembered joining a convoy and meeting a tribe but could not recall what happened afterward.
• Liu Jiaqi clutched her head in pain, and her head suddenly burst apart, splattering the onlookers with blood and brain matter.
• The Sequence Transcendents drew their weapons but found no attacker, and the Monk said a hypnotic restriction may have caused Liu Jiaqi’s head to explode when she recalled certain memories.

After Liu Jiaqi’s death, He Jing explained the dangers and limits of a Hypnotist Sequence Demon Whisperer, while Yang Yong took charge of securing the unconscious women. The Survival Convoy guarded them, waited for Cao Xianming and the returning scouts, and took over the trade fair and its supplies.

• He Jing revealed that she had witnessed a Sequence Two Demon Whisperer control ordinary people, and warned that higher sequences might be more dangerous.
• Zhu Yuhao asked what to do with the unconscious women, while Peng Fan remained stunned by Liu Jiaqi’s death.
• Yang Yong asked Qi Peiliang whether the women showed signs of being Eerie, and Qi Peiliang confirmed they were human.
• Yang Yong ordered Lao Zhang to lock the women together in a nearby yurt under guard.
• The Survival Convoy took possession of the trade goods, gathered the supplies, and continued the trade fair without the women.

Yang Yong traded with He Jing for Combustion Agent and agreed to forge her broom into a Curio using materials she supplied. When Xiao Liao announced that Captain Cao had awakened and summoned the Transcendents, Yang Yong and He Jing hurried to join the gathering.

• Yang Yong went to He Jing's stall seeking Combustion Agent, and He Jing offered to supply his truck's fuel in exchange for a forged Curio.
• Yang Yong agreed to forge He Jing's broom if she supplied the materials and accepted the risk, and he took two bottles of Combustion Agent as a deposit.
• Xiao Liao announced that Captain Cao had awakened and ordered all Transcendents to gather.
• Yang Yong flew to the meeting place, and He Jing followed on her broom.
• Wang Ying, Zheng Xiaofeng, Liu Hong, Qi Peiliang, Monk, Ma Xiaotong, Huang Xiaojuan, Hu Xian'er, Zhang Bihuang, and Xiao Yuxia were among those gathered.

Cao Xianming told the seventeen people who had traded with the women's convoy that they were marked for sacrifice, though he believed there was still hope. Before he could explain further, an invisible attacker killed one of the traders, and Qi Peiliang concluded that a Transcendent was responsible.

• Yang Yong saw Cao Xianming's fury and feared something had happened to Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang soon arrived with sixteen other people who had traded with the women's convoy.
• Cao Xianming announced that he had calculated the direction of the convoy's mastermind and that all seventeen traders had been placed on a sacrificial list.
• Cao Xianming explained that something had been planted inside the traders and warned that they were in grave danger.
• As Cao Xianming began to reassure Lao Zhang that there was still hope, an invisible attacker bit off a woman's hand and then fatally bit through her neck.
• Qi Peiliang detected no Eerie aura and concluded that a Transcendent had attacked them.

An invisible rule-level curse continued killing the convoy members, and the Transcendents could find no way to stop it. Convoy Supervisor Lao Zhang and the remaining fifteen victims were left facing certain death.

• The Transcendents realized that trading with the women had exposed the convoy to a deadly curse, and He Jing regretted how close she had come to trading for Curios.
• Cao Xianming tried to reassure Convoy Supervisor Lao Zhang that he would find a way to break the curse, but Lao Zhang said he had already wanted to die after losing his family.
• An invisible attack tore open another man's chest and crushed his heart, while Wang Ying's blade and Ma Xiaotong's Talisman failed to stop it.
• Cao Xianming's Data Model found no weakness, and Yang Yong and the other Transcendents admitted they could not block a rule-level attack.
• The remaining fifteen victims, including Convoy Supervisor Lao Zhang, lost their last hope of surviving.

Cao Xianming discovered that hiding in a Ghost Domain could shield the group from the sacrificial rules, and Yang Yong revealed Yezi as the source of a small Ghost Domain. The fifteen survivors remained safe inside it for half an hour, while Yang Yong wondered whether Yezi’s mental illness had been cured.

• Cao Xianming said the group could temporarily evade the sacrificial rules by hiding in a Ghost Domain, but they had no way to find one on the grassland.
• Yang Yong summoned Yezi from the Four Yang God-Sealing Banner, shocking the others by revealing she had become its fourth Main Soul.
• Yezi declared “Ten-meter domain,” and plants rapidly grew into a green, ten-meter Ghost Domain around her.
• Cao Xianming ordered everyone inside, and fifteen people entered the domain to hide.
• After half an hour without further deaths or injuries, Cao Xianming and Lao Zhang realized the Ghost Domain had protected them.
• Yang Yong kept watching Yezi and wondered whether her mental illness had been cured.

Yang Yong wondered why Yezi could speak but received no answer, while Cao Xianming rallied the Sequence Transcendents to kill the unseen trader who could turn people into sacrificial offerings. The White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost then showed Yang Yong and Cao Xianming a vision of slaves kneeling before a woman in a magnificent Yurt, leaving Cao Xianming consumed by rage.

• Yang Yong questioned why Yezi could speak, but she did not respond, and he dismissed the change as granting her speech without consciousness.
• Cao Xianming warned the Sequence Transcendents that an unknown trader could secretly bind people into contracts and turn them into sacrificial offerings.
• Cao Xianming urged everyone to kill the trader before he grew powerful, and the gathered Transcendents silently shared his resolve.
• Mang Dabiao raced toward the group as the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost emerged from Yang Yong's banner and handed him a letter.
• Yang Yong opened the letter and saw a vision of a woman seated in a Yurt above a row of ragged slaves.
• Cao Xianming took the letter, saw the vision, and erupted into barely controlled fury.

Cao Xianming realized that the being behind the contracts binding Lao Zhang and fourteen others was an Eerie too powerful for the group to challenge. After Mang Dabiao reported a vast settlement filled with Eerie and invisible attackers, Cao Xianming modeled the area and revealed an unknown presence beyond its largest yurt, leaving the Transcendents unsure whether rescuing ordinary people was worth the risk.

• Cao Xianming sensed a terrifying presence while trying to deduce who backed Yezi and concluded that the group could not afford to provoke the Eerie behind Lao Zhang and the others' contracts.
• Yang Yong stopped Mang Dabiao, who arrived wounded and warned that they could not fight the enemy he had encountered.
• Mang Dabiao reported finding a vast settlement of yurts where at least half the people carried Eerie auras, with stronger Eerie farther inside and invisible attacks that wounded him.
• Cao Xianming entered Mang Dabiao's account into his data model, revealing a grassland settlement surrounded by wolf packs and centered on a lavish golden yurt.
• Cao Xianming said he could not touch the blank area beyond the largest yurt, and the Transcendents questioned whether confronting the presence to save ordinary people was worth the risk.

Yang Yong and the Survival Convoy escaped a swarm of explosive rabbits, while Mao Minwei’s severed arm began healing under a mysterious green light from Yezi’s Ghost Domain. The convoy reached safety but faced uncertainty about where to go and how long Yezi could protect them.

• Mao Minwei caught a rabbit that turned red-eyed and exploded, blowing off his right hand.
• Yang Yong spotted a massive wave of red-eyed rabbits and led the convoy through a path cleared by a chain of explosions.
• Zhu Yuhao treated Mao Minwei and discovered green light from Yezi’s Ghost Domain had stopped the bleeding and was healing the wound.
• The convoy left the explosive rabbits behind, and Yang Yong explained that Yezi’s Ghost Domain could last indefinitely at night but consumed stored Blood Moon energy during the day.
• Cao Xianming asked how long Yezi’s Ghost Domain could last, leaving Yang Yong to worry about the fifteen contract-bound people and the dangers ahead.

The Survival Convoy crossed the grassland beneath the Blood Moon until a wolf attack warning sent its members into battle. Yang Yong spotted a sinister teenage boy creating a hurricane, but a scream from the bus made him suspect the attackers were targeting Yezi’s ghost domain and might be cursed.

• Cao Xianming continued modeling the grassland as the convoy drove onward, and the radio suddenly blared a warning about wolves.
• Qi Peiliang identified the threat as a mutant beast or Transcendent rather than an eerie, and Yang Yong searched for the escaped Beast Tamer but saw no sign of her.
• Yang Yong spotted a sinister teenage boy summoning a hurricane and ordered Wang Ying to strike; she split the hurricane and nearly hit the boy.
• A scream came from the bus while Yezi maintained her ten-meter ghost domain, and Yang Yong suspected the attackers were targeting it on behalf of the entity that had cursed Lao Zhang and the others.
• Yang Yong urgently asked Cao Xianming to calculate whether the attackers had been cursed like Lao Zhang and the others.

Yang Yong identified the distant woman as a likely curse monitor but had no ordinary way to reach her, so he used the Four Yang God-Sealing Banner while ordering the convoy to expose the lurking enemy. The convoy cornered the ratlike shadow-hider under Xiao Xuan’s Buddha-Light Jewel, but Cao Xianming warned them not to underestimate him.

• Cao Xianming calculated a 66.6% chance that two of the three visible enemies had been implanted with curses, and Yang Yong singled out the distant woman on horseback as their monitor.
• Yang Yong found that no one in the convoy had a reliable attack that could reach the woman several thousand meters away, and he ordered Liu Hong and Zheng Xiaofeng off the van roof when they tried to help.
• Yang Yong used the Four Yang God-Sealing Banner to send a Climbing Vine and a streak of gray light across the grassland, then told everyone to draw out the enemy hiding in the shadows.
• Xiao Xuan raised the Buddha-Light Jewel, which drove back the shadows and revealed a ratlike man hiding among them.
• The convoy’s Sequence Transcendents surrounded the ratlike man, and Cao Xianming warned them that he might fight desperately to escape.

Yang Yong’s group captured Rat Man and used Yezi’s vines to stop the woman watching from the hillside from escaping as gray mist. A small gray shadow slapped her back into a trapped doll form, leaving Yang Yong celebrating the unexpected success.

• The Monk, Ma Xiaotong, Zheng Xiaofeng, and Liu Hong attacked Rat Man together and left him badly injured.
• Yezi’s vine dragged Rat Man into the Ten-Meter Ghost Domain, where she bound him tightly with vines.
• The woman watching from the hillside turned into gray mist and tried to flee as Yezi’s hidden vine killed her horse by draining it dry.
• A small gray shadow emerged from Yezi’s vine and slapped the woman, forcing her gray-mist body into the shape of a rigid doll.
• Yang Yong clenched his fist and exclaimed in triumph as the woman’s remaining black mist was held inside the doll form.

Yang Yong used the Little Girl Eerie’s Big Slap Technique to turn the escaping woman into a doll, then called out to the sinister-looking youth and claimed the bus could isolate his enslavement contract curse. The rat man confirmed Yang Yong’s claim, leaving the youth to decide whether to approach.

• Yang Yong revealed that the Little Girl Eerie’s rule-based slap could turn the woman’s gray-mist form into a doll.
• Yezi’s Climbing Vine retrieved the doll while Yang Yong prepared to address the sinister-looking youth with the Loudspeaker.
• The sinister-looking youth hesitated between fighting and fleeing as Yang Yong called out, asking whether he feared his enslavement contract and its missions.
• Yang Yong claimed the bus could isolate the contract curse within ten meters and pointed to the bound rat man as proof.
• Yezi threatened the rat man with a vine at his neck, and he told the youth, “What he said... was true.”

Yang Yong’s group proved that the green Light Screen blocked the curse controlling the two captives, and Wu Lijian rushed into it to escape that control. With both men secured, Peng Fan began questioning them, and Wu Lijian started by giving his name and background.

• The sinister-looking boy demanded that the rat-faced man curse their tormentor to prove the Light Screen blocked the curse, and the man cursed the goat-horned being for five minutes.
• After believing the proof, the boy sprinted into the green Light Screen without using his wind abilities and laughed in relief when the curse’s control lifted.
• Yang Yong ordered Yezi to bind the boy with Climbing Vines, resolving the threat to the Survival Convoy.
• Yang Yong called for Peng Fan and ordered him to question the two captives.
• Wu Lijian told Peng Fan that he had been an ordinary office worker.

Wu Lijian explained how his group, the Storm Convoy, had been trapped by a seemingly harmless trade and bound into slavery by the being behind the horsewomen. He revealed that the contract let the being track its victims and prevented them from dying.

• Peng Fan asked Wu Lijian why he and his companions had come, and Wu Lijian said they were investigating the disappearance of fifteen people.
• Wu Lijian revealed that he and his companions had also traded with the being’s blood descendants and received undetectable contracts.
• Wu Lijian recounted how a storm stranded the Storm Convoy on the grassland, where explosive rabbits and poisonous meat left its survivors starving.
• Horsewomen offered the convoy meat in exchange for supplies, and the group accepted the trades because they seemed safe and necessary.
• Wu Lijian explained that completing even one trade had let the being bind each trader as a slave, track them anywhere, and prevent them from dying.

Peng Fan questioned Wu Lijian and Ground Rat about their past and abilities, then Cao Xianming ordered them to fill blank crystals with supernatural power before they could go free. The convoy camped on the grassland, and the next morning someone screamed that a person had died.

• Ground Rat confirmed that he and Wu Lijian had belonged to the same convoy and said he had forgotten his real name.
• Ground Rat and Wu Lijian revealed their sequence abilities, and Cao Xianming ordered them kept in the Ten-Meter Ghost Domain until they filled a heap of blank crystals.
• Yang Yong released some of their restraints, allowing them to move around the bus while remaining inside Yezi's domain.
• Cao Xianming stopped the convoy after it traveled several dozen kilometers, and Qi Peiliang found no eerie presence near their campsite.
• The night passed without incident, but a scream rang across the grassland the next morning announcing that someone had died.

The convoy discovered that Eerie Qi had mutated sheep into man-eating monsters, and Yang Yong refined them into blood beads of unknown use. As the convoy slaughtered the remaining sheep, Ground Rat and Wu Lijian secretly discussed the Eerie Qi and their past dealings, unaware that the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost was recording everything.

• A woman found Xiao Liu's mutilated body in the sheep pen, where four mutated sheep were feeding on him.
• Wang Ying killed one charging sheep, and Yang Yong used the Ten-Thousand-Forging Primordial Furnace to refine all four into mixed blood beads.
• Cao Xianming ordered the convoy to slaughter the remaining sheep and make jerky in case they were infected by Eerie Qi.
• Ground Rat and Wu Lijian whispered on the bus about Eerie Qi and why they had traded with the women for protection from it.
• The White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost recorded their conversation and expressions in a hidden love letter.

Yang Yong learned that Wu Lijian and Ground Rat were waiting to see whether the convoy could survive an avatar of the Goat Eerie, and he brought their conversation to Cao Xianming. Cao Xianming decided to make them reveal everything and prepare to refine the avatar, while something underground stirred at the smell of blood.

• The White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost showed Yang Yong an illusion in which Ground Rat proposed contacting the convoy, but Wu Lijian argued they should wait until it proved it could face the Goat Eerie's avatar.
• Yang Yong realized Wu Lijian was keeping an escape route open and took the love letter to Cao Xianming for him to assess.
• Cao Xianming emerged from the illusion and asked whether Yang Yong's furnace could refine a Demon God-level Eerie, then declared they would try to refine the Goat Eerie's avatar.
• Cao Xianming ordered Yang Yong to make Ground Rat and Wu Lijian reveal everything they knew, intending to force them to commit to the convoy.
• After the wind spread the scent of blood across the grassland, Qi Peiliang sensed something underground and warned Wang Ying.

Qi Peiliang sensed a powerful Eerie following the Survival Convoy underground, while Cao Xianming judged the danger to be low and ordered the convoy to hold steady. The convoy began moving, but Qi Peiliang realized the Eerie was keeping pace with them.

• Qi Peiliang sensed something burrowing upward and warned the Survival Convoy that an Eerie was coming.
• The convoy rushed into its vehicles, but a Climbing Vine controlled the bus and prevented Old Yang from driving away.
• Cao Xianming calculated that the approaching Eerie was almost certainly not the Goat Eerie's avatar and ordered everyone to hold steady.
• Cao Xianming told the convoy to move, while Qi Peiliang detected a terrifying aura underground and warned him that the Eerie was not weak.
• Qi Peiliang realized the Eerie was following the convoy underground and shouted a warning over the radio.

Cao Xianming identified an earth dragon attacking the convoy, and the young monk destroyed it with a golden palm strike. As the monk returned, Cao Xianming discovered that the earth dragon’s energy signature was changing dramatically.

• Cao Xianming’s Data Model revealed a huge, black-scaled earth dragon moving underground, and he warned the convoy.
• The earth dragon burst from beneath the bus and targeted the fifteen contract-bound passengers, while its shrill voice drove people to panic.
• Yang Yong attacked with furnace flames, but the earth dragon’s scales resisted the heat; Cao Xianming identified its mouth as its weakness.
• A young monk stepped forward, said his Sequence ability countered the earth dragon, and blasted a golden hand into its mouth, making it explode into black powder.
• The monk returned past Yang Yong and asked if he was strong, while Cao Xianming’s radio report cut off as he announced the earth dragon’s energy signature was changing.

Qi Peiliang identified the reborn earth dragon as an Undying Species that grew stronger each time it was killed, forcing Yang Yong’s group to try containing it instead. When Wang Ying’s slash split the dragon apart, Yang Yong’s Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace drew in its scattered black particles, and the unfinished seed inside began absorbing them as a dragon roared.

• Qi Peiliang told Cao Xianming that the earth dragon was an Undying Species that evolved whenever it was killed.
• Yang Yong ordered Monk to bind the earth dragon, but Monk’s Dragon-Shaped Qi Force shattered and he fled.
• Yang Yong directed everyone to weaken the dragon without killing it, but Wang Ying cut it in half with the Black Gold Bone Blade.
• Yang Yong opened the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace, and its unfinished seed began absorbing the dragon’s black particles.
• Yang Yong enlarged the furnace and sucked in half the black particles before a dragon’s cry rang out.
