• Qian Renxue clung to Chen Qianqiu, trembling and pale with fear.

Chen Qianqiu devoured the Asura Demon Sword’s baleful aura, ending its pressure on the valley and leaving him nourished but sleepy. As the Spirit Hall group withdrew, he considered how the battle had changed the future and wondered whether Qian Daoliu could suppress the sword.

• Chen Qianqiu used his draconic might to compress the Asura baleful aura and swallowed it, turning it into nourishing energy.

• Qian Xunji found Qian Renxue asleep against Xiao Hei and gently patted Chen Qianqiu before walking away.
• Chen Qianqiu reflected on Qian Xunji surviving, Ah Yin remaining alive, and Tang San’s rebirth, then wondered how much power the Asura Demon Sword retained and whether Qian Daoliu could suppress it.

• Chen Qianqiu reasoned that Qian Daoliu might suppress the weakened Asura Demon Sword, but the danger and potential cost made attacking the Clear Sky Sect too risky.
• Tang Hao escaped with Ah Yin and wondered whether their unborn child might awaken Blue Silver Grass instead of the Clear Sky Hammer, then concealed his doubts from her.
• The Asura Demon Sword recognized that Chen Qianqiu had absorbed some of its power and, weakened by crossing space and time, fell into a deep slumber.
• Over the next three days, Chen Qianqiu absorbed the Asura Baleful Aura and accepted crates of heavenly treasures from Qian Xunji, rapidly growing stronger.
• Chen Qianqiu’s wings fully unfurled, and Spirit Hall’s people, including the consecrators, allowed him to fly freely around the grounds.

Chen Qianqiu learned that Qian Xunji had negotiated peace with the Clear Sky Sect, which had traded away its four subordinate clans to Spirit Hall. Qian Renxue told him that Golden Crocodile Douluo would lead their upcoming mission to take over the clans.

• Yang Wudi offered the Breaking Clan’s loyalty and his grandson Yang Zhong to Spirit Hall, while Tai Tan condemned him for betraying the Clear Sky Sect.
• Niu Gao and Bai He submitted the Defense Clan and Speed Clan to Spirit Hall, with Bai He offering his granddaughter Bai Chenxiang as a token of loyalty.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo told Chen Qianqiu that Qian Daoliu had placed the Four Great Clans at his disposal, and Chen Qianqiu accepted the authority to assign them tasks.

Chen Qianqiu imposed quotas and deadly performance appraisals on the Four Great Clans, assigning each clan labor under Spirit Hall’s control. That night, Tai Nuo and the Strength Clan secretly planned to sabotage their mining work while waiting for the Clear Sky Sect to recover.

• Chen Qianqiu addressed the Four Great Clans and announced performance appraisals with execution for the least productive workers who failed their quotas.

• Chen Qianqiu ordered Lor Diarra to divide his squad among the four clans and report suspicious activity.
• Tai Nuo rallied the Strength Clan against Spirit Hall’s demands, then urged them to pass off inferior ore as good material and secretly undermine the work.

Chen Qianqiu caught Tai Nuo giving him inferior ore and punished the Strength Clan by withholding food, then secretly withheld food from the other three clans as well. The hungry clansmen beat Tai Nuo and his people overnight, and the Strength Clan set off early for the mines the next morning.

• Tai Nuo presented inferior ore as the Strength Clan's daily samples, but Chen Qianqiu recognized the poor quality after eating several pieces.

Chen Qianqiu asked Yang Wushuang to prepare ways to alleviate Poison Douluo Dugu Bo’s poison, while plotting to claim the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He harvested the encampment’s growing negative emotions and then sought writers to help manage the clans’ hostility.

• Chen Qianqiu summoned Yang Wushuang and asked about Dugu Bo’s poison and whether it could be countered.
