Mu Bai used the Discipline Enforcement Army to force Du Xiang’s Eastern Nether Great Tribe to mine the soul crystal vein under threat of execution.

Mu Bai visited the Kunling Sect’s western-front headquarters to meet its disciplinary elder and secure cooperation with the joint disciplinary army. Elder Bai An refused to take Mu Bai seriously and insulted the three hundred righteous warriors, leaving Mu Bai and Zuo Lin openly at odds with him.

• Mu Bai accepted Zhong Yue’s advice to visit the Kunling Sect and left him in charge of the disciplinary army’s affairs.
• Mu Bai and Zuo Lin were stopped at the Kunling Sect camp, but Mu Bai used the Golden Book and military disciplinary code to make the guards let them enter.

• Bai An dismissed the story of the three hundred righteous warriors, and Zuo Lin and Mu Bai mocked him in response.
• Bai An became furious but hesitated to attack Mu Bai and Zuo Lin because the disciplinary army had been established jointly by the three super sects.

Mu Bai used Zuo Lin’s victory over Bai Quan to force Bai An to acknowledge his authority to enforce military discipline, though Bai An resolved to kill him later. After receiving word of trouble at the Discipline Enforcement Army, Mu Bai vowed to seek justice at Purple Sun Fort for his fallen comrades.

• Mu Bai challenged Bai An’s junior brother Bai Quan to face Zuo Lin, who defeated him despite Bai Quan’s greater cultivation.

• Mu Bai returned to the central defense line, where Du Xiang resented him and Wu Meng was eager to see him again.

Wu Meng confessed her long-held love to Mu Bai, but he rejected her because he could not forgive the White Wolf Tribe for standing by during his tribe’s massacre. After Wu Meng fled into the forest, Mu Bai received an arrow-borne message saying she had been taken and directing him to the Hundred-Li Maple-Red Forest.

• Xing Yun learned that Mu Bai was at the Lingze Defense Line and worried over the Divine Seal he had placed on her mind and spirit.
• Wu Meng visited Mu Bai and revealed that she had recognized his identity years earlier because she remembered him buying a hairpin for another girl.

• Mu Bai confronted the green-eyed old man, killed him with the Twin Fish Sword, and challenged the four masked figures.
• The four masked fighters attacked Mu Bai together, but he killed all of them with a single rapid assault.

• Xing Yun held off Horse-Face while Wu Meng gained the upper hand against Ox-Head, and the two masked men retreated together as they considered fleeing.
• Mu Bai sensed the fight through Xing Yun's Mind-Spirit Imprint and hurried toward the women, but Lu Ming blocked his way and challenged him.
• Mu Bai shattered Lu Ming's Thousand-Stele Soul-Suppressing Hand and defeated him, then left Lu Ming behind and flew on.
• Horse-Face pressed Xing Yun while Wu Meng's Spirit-Gathering Pearl began to fade, but the masked men spotted Mu Bai approaching.
• Ox-Head summoned a black silk flying carpet, and he and Horse-Face escaped before Mu Bai arrived; Xing Yun decided to ask her Clan Patriarch to make her one.

Mu Bai stopped Ox-Head and Horse-Face from harming Wu Meng and Xing Yun, then killed Horse-Face after he attacked, accepting a sword wound in the process. As Mu Bai healed, Xing Yun demanded he marry her and stayed in his tent, while Wu Meng’s feelings for him remained clear.

• Mu Bai used his perception to uncover Ox-Head and Horse-Face, killing Ox-Head with the Twin Fish Sword.
• Mu Bai ordered Horse-Face to remove his mask, recognized him as a Hundred Guards officer, and killed him when he attacked with a Soul Sword.

• Xing Yun awoke wearing Mu Bai's robe and teased him about her appearance and whether he had ever watched her change.
• Mu Bai told Xing Yun to rest for several days and left the tent; Xing Yun, feeling tired, drifted back to sleep.

• Mu Bai and Xing Yun flew through the peaceful Southern Marsh and discussed how the paths of humans and beasts could coexist in harmony.
• Du Xiang appeared with two mid-stage Xiu Zun and attacked Mu Bai, who protected Xing Yun with Chang Feng’s Jade Talisman and fought back with the Twin Fish Sword.

• Xing Yun activated the carpet’s Flying Formation, then concealed them with Formation Flags and a Formation Disc when their pursuers caught up.

• Du Xiang gave up searching for Mu Bai and flew back toward the Lingze Dike Wall with his two companions.
• Mu Bai and Xing Yun emerged from hiding and continued south, stopping when they sensed the Beast Race army nearby.
• A vicious bird attacked, and Mu Bai grabbed Xing Yun as they plunged into a deep pool.
• Xing Yun woke in a strange realm, dispelled its illusions with her star power, and realized they were trapped in a Bathing Spring Fish's world.
• With Mu Bai unconscious, Xing Yun fought off the creature's tentacles until a handsome man in pink robes approached and urged her to fulfill her desire.

Xing Yun and Mu Bai escaped Yuyusheng’s Spring-Bathing Realm and survived a Pterosaur attack with his intervention. After Yuyusheng killed the beast and sent them away, Xing Yun and Mu Bai reunited in a kiss, embarrassed but alive.

• Xing Yun resisted Yuyusheng’s enchantment and wounded herself, prompting him to release her and Mu Bai beside an emerald pool as a Pterosaur appeared.

Mu Bai and Xing Yun reunited in a kiss just as the beast tide attacked the Lingze Defense Line. Mu Bai helped organize the defenders, and the chapter ended as the human army opened fire on the approaching beasts.

• Mu Bai ordered the Discipline Enforcement Army to oversee the defenses and execute anyone who fled, while Xing Yun returned to the Star Tribe's encampment.
• Demon-transformed beasts attacked the wall and broke its cannons and formations, drawing the Human Race's Dao Zun into battle in the sky.
• Mu Bai recognized the Dao Zun battle as mental interference, and the cultivators recovered when horns sounded; Rao Xing then ordered the cannons and crossbows to fire.
• The defenders blasted the oncoming beasts, while the deep water before the wall blocked many low-ranking beasts and reduced the tide's threat.

The Beast Tide repeatedly attacked the Lingze Defense Line, while its defenders endured heavy fighting and dwindling supplies. At the Spirit Taming Sect, Zhou Dechen ordered the inner treasury opened to supply the front, despite Nangong Yan’s warning that its contents were strictly controlled.

• As cultivators searched Beast Tide corpses for cores, wounded beasts detonated their Beast Cores and killed many of them; Dao Zun Chang Feng suspected the Beast Race had grown more intelligent.
• Mu Bai recalled the Red-Clothed Woman’s altar ritual and suspected outside Immortal Cultivators were stirring conflict between the Human Race and the Beast Race.
• The Beast Race sent logs down the river and attacked the Lingze Defense Line, but repaired arrays and the cultivators held the wall until the Beast Tide withdrew.
• Over the next ten-odd days, repeated attacks depleted the defenders’ supplies, while Zhou Deqi and Zhou Dekai transported Soul Crystals, Soul Soldiers, and medicinal pills to the front.

Zhou Deqi and Zhou Detai’s forces rushed back to the Spirit Taming Sect to arrest him, while Nangong Yan was captured after Zhou Dechen blamed and threatened her.

• Zhou Dechen decided to take the short-sword soul treasure, hoping it would help him secure the Heir to the Sect position and defeat his rivals.
• Mu Bai recognized from Zhou Deqi’s changed deliveries that Zhou Dechen had opened the Inner Treasury Hall without authorization and told Zhou Deqi the time had come to act.
• Zhou Deqi and Xiong Ji led Enforcement Hall disciples back to the Spirit Taming Sect, while Zhou Detai sent a War Hall elder and ten thousand cultivators to seize the opportunity against Zhou Dechen.
• Zhou Dechen demanded that Nangong Yan replace the stolen supplies, but she said she could not cover the loss and left after he angrily refused to consider her safety.

• Zhou Qichang and twenty-seven elders assembled in the Elder Hall, where Zhou Dechen and Nangong Yan knelt in cangues.

Zhou Dechen and Nangong Yan were executed after Zhou Qichang accepted the Sect Heirs’ accusations, and Mu Bai reunited with Mu Lan Pavilion members before learning of Chen Shichong’s situation. He rushed to the Sword Sect in the Northern Plains, where a powerful cultivator confronted him at the gate.

• Zhou Detai and Zhou Deqi urged Zhou Qichang to sentence Zhou Dechen and Nangong Yan to death, and Zhou Qichang ordered their execution.
• Mu Bai visited the Blue Flower Pavilion, where Mu Lan and the others celebrated Zhou Dechen’s death and shared news of the Mu Lan Pavilion’s growth.

• Mu Bai reached the Sword Sect and scattered the guards who tried to stop him.
• A Sword Sect Xiu Zun confronted Mu Bai and swung a steel whip at his head.

Mu Bai rushed to the Sword Sect and found Chen Shichong grieving because his father, Chen Jianli, had given up his cultivation for him.

• Mu Bai reached Third Peak despite the Sword Sect Xiu Zun’s pursuit and reunited with Chen Shichong.

Mu Bai learned that Zhou Dekai had been imprisoned after bandits and fierce beasts ambushed his military-supply convoy, and he rushed to investigate before the Elder Council judged him. At the attack site, Mu Bai found wounds linking the massacre to Zhou Detai’s faction and identified Zuo Lin as one of its hidden agents.

• Mu Bai received word that Zhou Dekai’s convoy had been ambushed by nearly ten thousand humans and beasts, leaving him imprisoned for losing military supplies.
• Mu Bai returned to the Spirit Taming Sect, learned the elders had not yet gathered, and hurried to the Eastern Ridge attack site to search for evidence.
• Mu Bai found only the mangled remains of Enforcement Hall disciples and suspected the attack had been staged to implicate Zhou Dekai and Zhou Deqi.
• Mu Bai recognized wounds inflicted by the True Method of Controlling Thunder and concluded that a third-level peak Body Cultivator had taken part in the massacre.
• Mu Bai identified a penetrating wound consistent with Zuo Lin’s Cloud-Heaven Battle Halberd and realized that Zuo Lin had secretly served Zhou Detai.

Mu Bai tried to secure Zhou Dekai’s survival by asking Zhou Deqi to share the blame, then seized Zhou Detai’s camp officers to investigate the stolen supplies. He began a brutal interrogation on a hill outside the Spirit Taming Sect, executing anyone who denied involvement.

• Mu Bai asked Zhou Deqi to share Zhou Dekai’s guilt, but Zhou Deqi refused.
• Mu Bai recruited eight Xiu Zun from Mu Lan Pavilion and led them to Zhou Detai’s garrison camp.
• Mu Bai overpowered the camp’s leaders, bound Mai Cheng, Zuo Lin, and the other Mighty Realm cultivators, and took them away.
• On a hill near the Spirit Taming Sect, Mu Bai demanded that the captives confess to robbing Zhou Dekai’s supply convoy.
• Mu Bai silenced Mai Cheng and ordered the execution of two cultivators who denied taking part in the robbery.

Mu Bai exposed Zuo Lin as Zhou Detai’s agent, learned the Crane Feather Tribe had been coerced, and spared Zuo Lin before confronting Zhou Detai. He accused Zhou Detai of orchestrating the supply robbery and revealed that Cloud House Mountain was under his control.

• Mu Bai forced Zuo Lin to reveal that the stolen supplies were hidden at Cloud House Mountain, then killed him in front of the others before secretly saving his life with a medicinal pill.

• Mu Bai confronted Zhou Detai, produced the corpse of a disciple whose wound bore the mark of the sect’s secret technique, and persuaded him to speak privately.
• Mu Bai accused Zhou Detai of using Zhou Dekai and Zuo Lin in a scheme involving the stolen supplies and declared that he had taken control of Cloud House Mountain.

Mu Bai confronted Zhou Detai over his plot against Zhou Dekai, then saved Zhou Dekai from execution at the elders’ meeting by offering a billion soul crystals. After helping deliver supplies to the Lingze Defense Line, Mu Bai returned to find the war stalled and tensions among humans resurfacing.

• Mu Bai forced Zhou Detai to promise not to target Zuo Lin and to pay five hundred million soul crystals within five days, in exchange for Mu Bai keeping Zhou Dekai alive.
• At the elders’ meeting, Zhou Dekai admitted responsibility for the lost military supplies, while Zhou Deqi argued that he deserved death and Zhou Detai offered to recover the supplies.
• Mu Bai offered one billion soul crystals to repay the losses, compensate the Enforcement Hall disciples’ families, and support the war, and Zhou Qichang pardoned Zhou Dekai.
• Mu Bai combined five hundred million soul crystals from the Mu Lan Pavilion with Zhou Detai’s payment and escorted the supplies with Zhou Deqi to the Lingze Defense Line.
• Zhou Dekai left the Spirit Taming Sect and wandered freely, while the fighting at the Lingze Defense Line reached a stalemate and human conflicts began to reappear.

As tensions among the Jialan Sect, Kunling Sect, and Primordial Soul Sect weakened Mu Bai’s authority, Du Xiang accused him of collaborating with the Beast Race.
