• Ye Feng arrived home and found Yūzō's two wives waiting on their knees; he invited them to eat with him, then ordered them to finish the meal while he went to his room.

Ye Feng unleashed a series of raids on the Ōtsutsuki, causing chaos across the Fengyue Establishment and Donghao Star while capturing thirty-one Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ōtsutsuki. The Lord suspected Fuzu’s group was responsible, but remained troubled by how the attackers had made their targets vanish.

• The Lord told Sanjiki that the victims’ sudden attacks and unexplained disappearances concerned him, and Sanjiki suggested Fuzu’s group could have used their techniques to abduct them.

• Ye Feng revealed himself as Fourth Brother and answered Eldest Brother’s questions about his disappearance with a fabricated account involving Okamura and Yousha.

Ye Feng negotiated a hundred years of protection in exchange for the middle-aged man’s freedom, and the man accepted under strict conditions.

• The middle-aged man offered to guide Ye Feng in strengthening his concealment great dao, but Ye Feng refused and displayed the five elements great dao.

• Ye Feng and Ren Xiaoyao swore a Universe Oath, and Ye Feng removed his shackles, briefly getting blasted away when Ren Xiaoyao’s aura erupted.
• Ren Xiaoyao introduced himself and told Ye Feng that the other imprisoned Humanoid Race cultivator was named Wansi and bore deep hatred toward the Lord.
