• A scout reported that more than twenty Demon Hall members were approaching, and Zhong Tianlang and Xiang Guiqing decided to observe them before choosing whether to fight.

• Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue attacked Xiang Guiqing together, using their familiarity with each other’s moves to coordinate and keep him occupied.

• After a night spent guarding the recovering Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue, Huang Xiao decided they should return toward the Longevity Pill Manual and blend in with the other factions.
• Huang Xiao led the two women cautiously through the mountains, and they stopped when they spotted a fight between five Demon and Ghost Factions members and four wounded fighters.
• Huang Xiao, Jiang Liuli, and Zhangsun Youyue waited until the five had killed the four and were about to leave, then launched an ambush.
• Huang Xiao killed two men with his Minghong Saber, while Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue killed the other two.

• Huang Xiao collected the two Identity Tokens, bringing his total to thirty-nine Formation Marks, and led the others away before the survivors could return with reinforcements.
• Huang Xiao and the two women encountered the larger Demon and Ghost Faction force, as Zhong Tianlang and Xiang Guiqing arrived and pursued them.

• Huang Xiao saw that Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli were badly injured against Xiang Guiqing and resolved to find an opening to use the Fifth Form for a decisive strike.

• Xiang Guiqing stopped Zhong Tianlang from attacking, and Zhong Tianlang led the Demon and Ghost Factions away.
• Huang Xiao asked whether Fan Zhongkun had come for the Longevity Pill Manual and learned that he had once been in the void martial realm.
• Huang Xiao noticed that Fan Zhongkun's internal power was not draining like Zhong Tianlang's and Xiang Guiqing's, and suspected the Masked Old Man's method was responsible.
• Fan Zhongkun explained that he had not killed the pair because the great formation had suppressed Inugami too.

Huang Xiao parted ways with Fan Zhongkun, who gave him forty-two Formation Marks and urged him to compete for the Longevity Pill Manual. After Huang Xiao revealed Fan Zhongkun’s identity and acknowledged his connection to the masked expert, Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli questioned whether Huang Xiao served the Demon Hall; he asked if they would believe him if he denied it, and both answered yes.

• Fan Zhongkun refused to join Huang Xiao and the two women, then gave Huang Xiao an Identity Token holding forty-two Formation Marks before leaving.
• Huang Xiao and the women counted his original thirty-nine marks with Fan Zhongkun’s forty-two, bringing the total to eighty-one.
• Huang Xiao told Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli that the disguised man was Fan Zhongkun, and Jiang Liuli said she had suspected it.
• Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue reasoned that Fan Zhongkun and Huang Xiao were acting on behalf of the masked expert from Mist Mountain, and Huang Xiao acknowledged their conclusion.
• Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli asked whether the masked expert had taught Huang Xiao his Demonic Art and was from the Demon Hall; both said they would believe Huang Xiao if he denied it.

Huang Xiao explained that he had no ties to the Demon Hall and revealed that he had come to enter the Heavenly Demon Hall by proving his strength. Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli learned that he had reached the ninth stage of the Heavenly Demon Skill and planned to challenge Pang Yi to attract the Hall’s attention.

• Zhangsun Youyue urged Huang Xiao to leave the Masked Old Man and offered to take him to Bishui Palace, while Jiang Liuli warned that the old man would not let him go easily.

• Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue were astonished to learn Huang Xiao had reached the ninth stage, a level few had achieved.
• Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli wondered whether Huang Xiao planned to kill Chao Jue and take his place in the Heavenly Demon Hall.
• Huang Xiao said he intended to fight Pang Yi at the Ranking Contest so the Heavenly Demon Hall would recognize his strength and consider accepting him.

Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue assessed Huang Xiao’s chances against the young experts Pang Yi, Li Chaoxun, and Sword God Yi, and Huang Xiao decided to seek an opportunity at the Longevity Pill Manual instead of choosing a fight immediately. Fan Zhongkun watched them leave and planned to arrive at the final crucial moment tomorrow, confident in the strength he had gained with Inugami and the Masked Old Man’s cultivation method.

• Zhangsun Youyue warned Huang Xiao that Li Chaoxun had hidden swordsmanship and could surpass him in a fight to the death.
• Jiang Liuli described Sword God Yi as ruthless, exceptionally powerful, and favored by the Sword Pavilion’s elders and the Sword God Patriarch.

• Jiang Liuli suggested Huang Xiao target Chao Jue instead, but Huang Xiao chose to leave for the Longevity Pill Manual and look for an opportunity there.
• Fan Zhongkun watched Huang Xiao’s group depart and decided to hurry to the final crucial moment tomorrow, believing Huang Xiao was safe for now.
• Fan Zhongkun reflected that his strength, Inugami, and the Masked Old Man’s cultivation method now made him powerful enough to challenge even a martial realm expert.
