Chapter Summaries

Wang Feng died by suicide while holding Caiwei’s portrait, leaving Mu Bai to bury him and reflect on his decision to hand over Mu Lan Pavilion. As Mu Bai prepared to leave Southern Marsh City, the City Lord’s Manor turned fragments from two demolished statues into a booming market, but the price began to fall after buyers sold their pieces back.

• Wang Feng burned to death with Caiwei’s portrait in his arms, and Mu Bai extinguished the flames too late to save him.

• As many buyers sold their fragments, the displayed price dropped to around two hundred soul crystals, leaving the crowd wondering why it was falling.

The City Lord's Manor drove Southern Marsh City's residents into frantic trading of statue stones, while Mu Bai watched without buying and left with Golden Roc. Mu Bai headed north toward Silver Frost Forest, but Golden Roc resisted going there.

• The City Lord's Manor raised and lowered the stones' displayed price, prompting residents to sell, buy, and trade them in a frenzy.

• Mu Bai urged Golden Roc to seek strength and promised to help him take human form, then flew north with him on his back.
• Mu Bai recalled that a Form Transformation Pill altered with fuling had fixed Golden Roc’s Primordial Spirit and left him unable to transform, and resolved to repay Granny Blood Phoenix’s treatment of his brother by finding a remedy.

• Mu Bai stabbed one giant with the Reincarnation Sword and unleashed a sea of fire toward the night owls, whose corrosive black water was destroying his golden soldiers.

Mu Bai slaughtered his way into the Ancestral Dragon Forbidden Land to seek Golden Roc’s Form Transformation, but Granny Blood Phoenix drove them out and revealed that Red Dance had gone to the Venerable Domain Battlefield.

• Mu Bai killed the Tree Demon Giant, Broad-Winged Giants, and numerous beasts, then entered the Ancestral Dragon Forbidden Land carrying the collected beast heads.
• Mu Bai hesitated to kill thousands of golden rocs, and Granny Blood Phoenix confronted him about Golden Roc’s Form Transformation and his right to choose whom he loved.
• Granny Blood Phoenix seized Golden Roc, shattered Mu Bai’s right arm, and told them Red Dance had gone to the Venerable Domain Battlefield before forcing them out of the forbidden land.

• Mu Bai heard tavern patrons praise Human Emperor Rao Lin and discuss the war and the Sacred Lands.

• Mu Bai asked to leave, but someone shouted, “Stop!”

Mu Bai was caught in a net by Human Race soldiers, but his strength forced his captors to kneel and revealed his identity as Eastern Ridge’s foremost Heavenly Pride. He declined Tao Hang’s invitation to enlist, then joined him at camp, where he reunited with True Person Chihuo, Ya Qing, Cheng Peng, Bailian Chen, and others.

As winter ended, Xi Bazì, Sweet Potato Boy, Rao Lin, and Zhong Yue arrived, and Mu Bai faced the fact that Mu Lan’s life was nearly over.

• Mu Bai seized the two remaining elders and killed them inside his Inner World, then reassured Mu Lan that he would not give in to their threats.
