Huang Xiao killed the Heavenly Evil Sect pursuers and learned that his rescuer was Li Bai, who recognized his swordsmanship and heard about his past. Li Bai revealed that Huang Xiao’s Patriarch, Huo Lian, had been the Previous Demon Hall Master, then warned Huang Xiao about the dangers of the Demonic Path and questioned his Imitation Saber.

• Huang Xiao killed one Heavenly Evil Sect fighter with his Fifth Form after his Sixth Form failed to finish him, then killed the Void Martial Realm expert with Li Bai’s help.

• Chao Hun followed Huang Xiao until he was sure Li Bai was no longer nearby, then confronted him on the road.

• Huang Xiao refused and warned Chao Hun that Elder Qin Lu might intervene, but Chao Hun said Qin Lu could not appear.
• Chao Hun subdued Huang Xiao, threatened to cripple his internal power, and shattered his dantian when Huang Xiao stayed silent.
• Chao Hun began to withdraw his palm, then sensed an unusual stirring in the Supreme Demonic Qi hidden within his body.

After Huang Xiao's dantian shattered, his supreme demonic qi erupted, revealing that Chao Hun possessed a strand of it too. Chao Hun tried to suppress Huang Xiao's rampaging qi so he could extract the Heavenly Demon Skill cultivation formula, while Huang Xiao urged the qi to destroy him.

• Chao Hun sensed supreme demonic qi coming from Huang Xiao and was shocked that someone of his strength possessed it.
• Huang Xiao recognized the same qi in Chao Hun, and they realized their strands had resonated when Chao Hun touched him at the Mixed Demon Sect.
• Chao Hun tried to draw Huang Xiao's supreme demonic qi out, but Huang Xiao released his remaining restraint and let it rampage.
• Huang Xiao taunted Chao Hun and refused to surrender the Heavenly Demon Skill cultivation formula, even as his meridians risked rupturing.
• Chao Hun poured his mixed demon true qi into Huang Xiao to suppress the rampaging strand, while Huang Xiao silently urged it to break free.

Chao Hun tried to suppress Huang Xiao’s rampaging supreme demonic qi to keep him alive long enough to obtain the cultivation method, but the resonance caused his own qi to surge into Huang Xiao. As Huang Xiao neared death, his patriarch’s heavenly demon true qi awakened, and the three strands battled inside his ruined body while he began to regain faint control of his own.

• Chao Hun poured his true qi into Huang Xiao to suppress the supreme demonic qi, further damaging Huang Xiao’s meridians.
• Chao Hun’s own supreme demonic qi erupted and flowed into Huang Xiao, leaving Chao Hun unable to save him.
• Chao Hun flung Huang Xiao to the riverbank and searched for a way to keep him alive as Huang Xiao’s consciousness faded.
• Huang Xiao sensed his patriarch’s heavenly demon true qi awaken in response to Chao Hun’s qi and managed to control a tiny amount of his own true qi.
• The patriarch’s, Chao Hun’s, and Huang Xiao’s strands of true qi clashed, and Huang Xiao realized their auras differed because of the essence blood within them.
• Huang Xiao faintly gained control of his own supreme demonic qi and considered whether controlling all three strands might let him reforge his meridians through Rejuvenation.

Huang Xiao used Heart Fire to extract the mixed essence blood from Chao Hun’s Supreme Demonic Qi, then risked his remaining essence blood to refine the purified qi into his own. He hoped the powerful true qi would let him survive the fourth Rejuvenation of the Second Realm, but his consciousness was fading as the refinement continued.

• Huang Xiao burned Chao Hun’s Supreme Demonic Qi with Heart Fire and extracted essence blood from several powerful experts, finding no trace of his Patriarch’s essence blood.
• Huang Xiao found that the Patriarch’s Heavenly Demon True Qi did not change under Heart Fire and suspected it had never been refined.
• Huang Xiao continued extracting essence blood from Chao Hun’s Supreme Demonic Qi despite dizziness and his worsening condition.
• Huang Xiao purified the Supreme Demonic Qi but realized his own essence blood alone could refine only a small portion of it.
• Huang Xiao combined his essence blood with the extracted essence blood to create stronger Heart Fire and began refining all the primordial Supreme Demonic Qi.
• Huang Xiao felt the refinement was progressing, but his pain had vanished and his consciousness began to blur again.

Huang Xiao survived the destruction of his meridians and escaped Chao Hun by rolling into the river, while Chao Hun pursued him downstream. Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue found Huang Xiao’s saber and fresh blood, then continued fleeing from the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples.

• Huang Xiao used his essence blood to refine the supreme demonic qi, then detonated it with the Patriarch's heavenly demon true qi, destroying his meridians and tearing apart his body.
• Chao Hun mistook Huang Xiao for dying and tried to remove his Demon Spirit Armor, but Huang Xiao suddenly rolled into the river and escaped downstream.
• Chao Hun could not search the muddy river because it restricted his divine sense and Heavenly Evil Sect disciples were approaching, so he headed downstream after Huang Xiao.
• Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue found Huang Xiao's Imitation Saber and fresh blood on the riverbank, and Zhangsun Youyue feared he was in danger.
• Jiang Liuli urged Zhangsun Youyue to flee the pursuing Heavenly Evil Sect disciples, and the two women ran downstream as their pursuers closed in.

After completing Rejuvenation, Huang Xiao was left in a child’s body with dangerously little strength and feared that depleted essence blood had permanently damaged him. Hiding in a massacre-struck village, he encountered the crippled Liu Chongming, who mistook him for an ordinary child and gave him the Jade Slip of the Longevity Pill Manual.

• Huang Xiao escaped Chao Hun by slipping into the river and used Rejuvenation, but emerged gaunt, child-sized, and too weak to fight or use his lightness skill.
• Huang Xiao reached a village massacred by Jianghu outsiders, disguised himself in children’s clothes, and hid in a ruined hut when he sensed someone approaching.
• Liu Chongming arrived with his left arm and part of his right leg severed, and the hut collapsed as he passed, exposing Huang Xiao beneath the straw.
• Liu Chongming mistook Huang Xiao for a surviving village child and confessed that his greed and pursuit of revenge had caused innocent people to die.
• Liu Chongming gave Huang Xiao the Jade Slip of the Longevity Pill Manual as compensation before his own expected death.

Liu Chongming entrusted Huang Xiao with a Jade Slip before heading toward the Evil Water Region to lure the Heavenly Evil Sect into a final confrontation. Huang Xiao remained disguised as a child, but Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli were soon surrounded by the sect’s forces, and he prepared to intervene.

• Liu Chongming gave Huang Xiao the Jade Slip, warned him to keep it secret, and left for the Evil Water Region with a fake Jade Slip to draw the Heavenly Evil Sect into a fight.
• Chao Hun arrived, failed to recognize Huang Xiao as a child, and continued pursuing him in the direction Liu Chongming had gone.
• Huang Xiao tried to draw out the Jade Slip’s healing power but failed, then hid when Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli approached while fleeing their pursuers.
• More than thirty Heavenly Evil Sect experts, including three Void Martial Realm fighters, surrounded Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli, who chose to fight rather than flee.
• As the Heavenly Evil Sect attacked, Huang Xiao pulled the Purple Soul Flute from beneath the thatch.

Huang Xiao used the Purple Soul Flute’s Sound Art to rescue Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli from the Heavenly Evil Sect, while the women began to suspect the child playing it was Huang Xiao’s son. The sect’s disciples charged Huang Xiao after his music seemed to weaken, but they collapsed in agony as they came within thirty feet of him.

• Huang Xiao played the Purple Soul Flute from the thatch pile, and his Sound Art disrupted the Heavenly Evil Sect’s attack on Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli.
• A Half-Step Martial Realm disciple tried to seize Huang Xiao’s flute, but Huang Xiao’s music shattered his meridians and killed him.
• Huang Xiao’s louder music incapacitated the sect’s Half-Step Martial Realm disciples, giving Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli a chance to kill several attackers.
• Zhangsun Youyue recognized the Sound Art as one Huang Xiao had used before, and Jiang Liuli suggested the flute-playing boy was his disciple or child.
• The women moved closer to Huang Xiao as the three Void Martial Realm experts continued to suppress them, and Huang Xiao’s brief distraction weakened his music.
• The Heavenly Evil Sect’s Half-Step Martial Realm disciples charged Huang Xiao, but they fell screaming in pain when they entered his range.

Huang Xiao’s flute music had incapacitated the Heavenly Evil Sect’s Half-Step Martial Realm fighters, but a Void Martial Realm expert charged at him while the two women remained tied down. Huang Xiao tried to switch to the stronger Heavenly Demon Soul-Destroying Sound, but his music collapsed, leaving him exposed as the fighters retreated and the expert closed in.

• The three Void Martial Realm experts realized the flute music threatened their Half-Step Martial Realm fighters, and one ordered another to attack Huang Xiao.
• Huang Xiao tried to change from the Heavenly Demon Dragon Roar to the Heavenly Demon Soul-Destroying Sound, but the tune went awry and its power collapsed.
• The Half-Step Martial Realm fighters recovered and retreated to safety as Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue grew anxious over the expert charging at Huang Xiao.
• The charging expert and the recovering fighters shouted for Huang Xiao to be killed.

Huang Xiao combined a trace of Supreme Demonic Qi with his Heavenly Demon True Qi and successfully unleashed the Heavenly Demon Soul-Destroying Sound, devastating the enemies around him. As Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli attacked the weakened Void Martial Realm fighters, two survivors tried to escape the flute’s range before its power faded.

• Huang Xiao realized his Heavenly Demon True Qi was too weak to unleash the Heavenly Demon Soul-Destroying Sound and found he could control the remaining Supreme Demonic Qi in his meridians.
• Huang Xiao mixed the Supreme Demonic Qi into his Heavenly Demon True Qi and played the Heavenly Demon Soul-Destroying Sound, striking down the Half-Step Martial Realm fighters and crippling the nearby Void Martial Realm fighter.
• Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli seized the opening and unleashed their ultimate techniques against the weakened opponents.
• The Void Martial Realm fighter at Huang Xiao’s feet tried to resist the flute’s assault, but Huang Xiao’s music overwhelmed him again.
• The two remaining Void Martial Realm fighters tried to retreat beyond the flute’s range, but Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli moved to stop them.

Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue killed the remaining Heavenly Evil Sect experts with Huang Xiao’s help, but he was left exhausted. When he revealed that he was Huang Xiao, Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue mistook his words for a child’s prank, and Jiang Liuli spanked him.

• Jiang Liuli recovered the Lihuo Sword and killed her opponent after Zhangsun Youyue blocked his attack.
• Zhangsun Youyue killed the wounded expert beside Huang Xiao, then helped Jiang Liuli defeat the final enemy.
• Huang Xiao collapsed after the flute music stopped, and the two women tried to treat him.
• Jiang Liuli asked whether the child was Huang Xiao’s son or disciple, while Zhangsun Youyue struggled with her feelings.
• Huang Xiao revealed his identity, but Jiang Liuli dismissed him as a little rascal and spanked him before Zhangsun Youyue took him away.

Huang Xiao revealed that Rejuvenation had turned him into a child and left him severely weakened, with no certainty that he would recover. Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue carried him toward the Evil Water Region as pursuers closed in, while Chao Hun identified him and secretly followed.

• Huang Xiao proved his identity to Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue by displaying his Heavenly Demon True Qi and explained that his forced use of Rejuvenation had left him trapped in a child's body and unable to move properly.
• Huang Xiao told Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue that he had escaped Linghu Xiang, suffered severe injuries, and might not regain his original appearance or strength after two months.
• Jiang Liuli carried Huang Xiao as the three fled toward the Evil Water Region, where Huang Xiao said Liu Chongming and many Jianghu fighters were gathering.
• Heavenly Evil Sect fighters spotted the trio and pursued them while nearby Jianghu fighters also moved toward the Evil Water Region.
• Chao Hun overheard enough to realize the child was Huang Xiao, then followed the trio without revealing himself.

Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue took the badly injured Huang Xiao toward the Evil Water Region, where he hoped to find Qin Lu. They reached the Supreme Evil River and found Liu Chongming surrounded, as Linghu Xiang noticed Huang Xiao among the crowd.

• Chao Hun decided to kill Huang Xiao and the two women, but he followed them without finding a chance to attack.
• Huang Xiao insisted on going with Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue, explaining that he could leave with people from the Heavenly Demon Hall if they met any.
• Jiang Liuli told Huang Xiao that she and Zhangsun Youyue had helped Liu Chongming escape the Heavenly Evil Sect, prompting the sect to pursue them.
• The Heavenly Evil Sect's pursuers gave up, while Chao Hun continued following the group through the crowd heading toward the Evil Water Region.
• Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue reached the front of the gathered crowd and saw Liu Chongming surrounded near the Supreme Evil River.
• Linghu Xiang spotted Huang Xiao and was surprised to see a child among the people gathered there.

Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue watched as rival factions surrounded Liu Chongming and argued over the Jade Slip. Linghu Xiang demanded the slip and threatened Liu Chongming, leaving the standoff poised to turn violent.

• Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue stayed apart from their sects while they watched the groups gather around Liu Chongming.
• Zhangsun Youyue praised Feng Xiaofeng for reaching Sword God Yi, but Jiang Liuli condemned him for fleeing the fight.
• Pang Yi mocked Sword God Yi and Li Chaoxun about the child Jiang Liuli carried, prompting Jiang Liuli to warn the Demonic Path onlookers.
• Sword God Yi and Li Chaoxun urged the crowd to focus on Liu Chongming and the Jade Slip, while Pang Yi and Sword God Yi each offered Liu Chongming protection in exchange for it.
• Linghu Xiang declared the area Heavenly Evil Sect territory and demanded Liu Chongming hand over the Jade Slip, threatening to leave his corpse intact.

Liu Chongming used the Jade Slip to provoke the gathered Jianghu factions and threaten to destroy it rather than let anyone claim it. After demanding revenge on the Heavenly Evil Sect, he dropped the Jade Slip toward the Evil Water Region.

• Liu Chongming recognized Huang Xiao and realized the Jade Slip he had given the boy might still be with him.
• Liu Chongming displayed a Jade Slip to the assembled Jianghu people, then mocked them when they demanded to know its secret.

• Liu Chongming opened his hand and dropped the Jade Slip toward the Evil Water Region.

Liu Chongming threw the Jade Slip into the Supreme Evil River, where several fighters died trying to retrieve it. The furious Jianghu fighters beat him as he lay dying, while Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli objected; after noticing Huang Xiao watching him, Liu Chongming roared for them to kill him.

• Liu Chongming blocked the fighters trying to catch the Jade Slip, and it fell into the Evil Water Region; those who jumped after it sank and disappeared.
• The fighters blamed Liu Chongming for destroying their chance to obtain the Jade Slip and kicked and beat him.
• Pang Yi told the fighters to kill Liu Chongming if they could not contain their anger, but they continued humiliating him.
• Zhangsun Youyue and Jiang Liuli criticized the fighters for tormenting the dying Liu Chongming, and he weakly said it was fine if the Jade Slip fell into their hands.
• Liu Chongming noticed Huang Xiao watching him, then roared for the fighters to kill him, making them pause.

Liu Chongming sacrificed himself to drag four Jianghu men into the Evil Water Region, while Huang Xiao understood his final warning concerned the Jade Slip. After the Jade Slip vanished, Linghu Xiang’s Heavenly Evil Sect attacked the gathered Jianghu fighters and began driving them toward the region, including Jiang Liuli, Zhangsun Youyue, and Huang Xiao.

• Liu Chongming suddenly seized a Jianghu man and drove him and three others off the cliff with himself, warning them to remember his words.
• Huang Xiao realized Liu Chongming had meant to warn him not to reveal anything about the Jade Slip, though he had never told Liu Chongming his identity.
• Linghu Xiang ordered the arriving Heavenly Evil Sect disciples to attack the Jianghu crowd after the Jade Slip disappeared.
• Linghu Xiang spared Sword God Yi and the other powerful young fighters but ordered his forces to drive the remaining Jianghu people toward the Evil Water Region.
• Jiang Liuli and Zhangsun Youyue protected Huang Xiao as the fighting blocked their way to Sword God Yi and Li Chaoxun.
