• The three entered the cave and found a bone altar marked with strange runes and fresh blood.

• Ghost Hand tried to flee as blood mist, but Su Yu’s lightning bound him and reduced him to a cripple.

At Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor’s elders’ council, Zhao Y ehan challenged Zhao Kuohai for control of the manor, but Zhao Kuohai revealed his Earth Realm Fifth Level Scarlet Yang Heavenly Eagle. Zhao Y ehan then fused two Earth Realm Fourth Level demonic servants into himself, and the two men’s powers collided, threatening to destroy the hall.
