• Lu Wu secretly entered the restaurant basement and found Wang Huihui chained to an iron bed, barely breathing amid medicinal herbs.
• Old Wang and his wife arrived, and Old Wang admitted that a Magic Association mage named Buyuan had helped confine Huihui after she returned from the Belluno Dolomites with a fever, fangs, and an unending coma.

• Lu Wu asked to meet Buyuan, then accused him of placing a curse on Huihui after sensing traces of the same curse in his own soul.
• Buyuan denied cursing Huihui, while Old Wang insisted that an evil mountain god had targeted her and Buyuan had saved her.

• Lu Wu sacrificed the fully grown curse, ending his physical discomfort and receiving Stars Enhancement, which left Asha'ruiya astonished.

Lu Wu revealed that the dark curse on him had vanished and offered to explain how by visiting a cursed remote temple with Asha'ruiya. They reached the ruined temple in the Dolomite Mountains, where Lu Wu approached the broken statue that radiated dark curse energy.

• Asha'ruiya told Lu Wu that he would accompany her to Tyrant Mountain, while Mo Fan would only pay for the Lightning Soul Seed.

• Asha'ruiya began trying to collect the Tyrant Wild Lightning while Lu Wu watched the Mountain Titan disguised as a mountain.
• The Mountain Titan revealed itself when the Nazca Ancient Ape appeared, then ran away instead of fighting.
• Lu Wu chose not to pursue the Mountain Titan so he would not disrupt Asha'ruiya's attempt to subdue the Lightning Soul Seed.

Asha'ruiya led Lu Wu to Long Cliff and had him release spatial magic energy, drawing the attention of a gigantic black creature that disrupted their escape and swept them into a spatial storm.

• Pan Xi revealed that the Mu Clan had gathered Ice Crystal Bow fragments through a cruel contest among its collateral branches and challenged Mu Ningxue to seize his fragments and those held by his Disciplinary Mages.

• Lu Wu appeared by the bridge, furious and ready to kill the frozen opponents.

Lu Wu arrived after the Mu Clan’s attack on Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao, killed the Disciplinary Mages, and cursed Nan Rongni and Mu Tingying so they could no longer cast magic.
