• Chu Jinghong and Great Black Heaven Ri Jialuo arrived with dozens of figures, and Chu Jinghong led them toward Chu Xisheng’s group.

Chu Xisheng’s opponents confronted him in the cavern, but their plan unraveled when Ri Jialuo defected and Chu Yunyun called for smoke to be raised. Chu Jinghong and the Giant Spirit prince attacked through the fog, only for Chu Jinghong’s supposed allies to turn on him and Qin Muge to kill the prince with the God-Defying Banner.

Ji Yang asked Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun to restore the seals on her sleeping palace and find the stolen Poison Pearl, which she feared would be used to create another Heaven-Gazing Hou. She offered them payment, including a blood-red piece of her body that could help Chu Xisheng open all nine of his Origin Yang Apertures.

Chu Xisheng emerged from Ji Yang's Tomb with the Martial Might Heavenly King's legacy and secured a divine blessing and future aid from Shi Zhiming. After learning that Ji Qianqian had entered Wang'an City to settle her past, Chu Xisheng decided to go after her and search for Chu Yunyun's missing officers.
