• Cai Jingyun told Yang Qingshan that Heaven and Earth Pass was stable and offered to accompany Ye Li to Golden Moon Country, saying she could protect him and might destroy its three great lineages.
• Yang Qingshan asked Cai Jingyun to calm down, arguing that the earlier wrong had already been avenged and that Ye Li's journey did not need further risks.

Cai Jingyun urged Yang Qingshan to protect Ye Li in Golden Moon Country, where Huaxia’s once-in-a-generation prodigy had been traded away decades earlier.

• Huaxia’s diplomat praised Ye Li’s overwhelming power, but Ye Li said he had not yet reached the Land Immortal realm.
• Ye Li considered using his Malice Points to improve his cultivation and identified the Divine Hall’s suspected Pope as a likely enemy alongside the Federation’s upper ranks.
• Huaxia’s plane landed in Kyoto, where Golden Moon Country envoys greeted Ye Li and escorted him to a temporary residence near the secret realm.

Meanwhile, Golden Moon Country learned that three lineages had been annihilated by a mysterious Land Immortal-level figure, and its envoy approached Ye Li’s courtyard with two White Country representatives.

Chiyo Yuko suspected the Qingyi Bureau was behind a terrifying display of power while considering Golden Moon Country’s plans to kill Ye Li during the secret-realm expedition. When two White Country Grandmasters arrived to confront Ye Li, they discovered he had the aura of a Land Immortal, and he demanded to know why they had come.

• Chiyo Yuko reasoned that only Huaxia’s Qingyi Bureau had both the power and motive to act, then recalled that Golden Moon Country and the Federal Nation planned to kill Ye Li in the secret realm.
