• Deputy Director Li Ning told Su Yu that the Northern Nether Sea demons had besieged Sea Suppression City and that the emperor ordered him to repel them and protect Ying Zhen.

Su Yu arrived at Sea Suppression City, killed Jiao Tu, and used his Lightning Punishment Domain to annihilate the water demons and capture Wuyin. After Wuyin confessed that the Blood Baleful Intent Hall had allied with the Northern Nether Sea and Demon God Cult, Su Yu began searching Wuyin’s soul for more information.

• Su Yu destroyed Wuyin and reviewed his memories, concluding that Blood Baleful Intent Hall, the Demon God Cult, and the Northern Nether Sea were pieces in a larger scheme.
• Ying Zhen thanked Su Yu and offered to report the events to his imperial father, but Su Yu said he answered for those he killed and departed.

The Fifth Hall Master warned that the Northern Nether Sea could not afford to break with its allies, and they agreed to target Su Yu, believing he had relied on imperial trump cards.

• A crab general reported that Jiao Tu and Wuyin’s soul lamps had gone out, and Jiao Hua erupted in fury over the deaths of two King Realm experts.
• Jiao Hua demanded compensation from Nie Wuya and the Fifth Hall Master, but the Fifth Hall Master argued that the Northern Nether Sea needed their alliance to continue its war against Great Qin.
• Jiao Hua suppressed his anger and backed down, recognizing that turning against the Blood Baleful Intent Hall and the Demon God Cult would endanger the Northern Nether Sea.
• Nie Wuya and the Fifth Hall Master concluded that Su Yu had killed Jiao Tu with a forbidden artifact or other help from the Qin Emperor, not his own strength.
• Jiao Hua demanded a response to the deaths, and the Fifth Hall Master proposed publicly breaking Su Yu, whom he called Great Qin’s sharpest blade.

Jiao Hua learned that the Blood Baleful Intent Hall and the Demon God Cult served the Blood Race and Devil Race, and agreed to their plan to summon their kings’ projections to destroy Su Yu. When the Fifth Hall Master proposed using fallen Northern Nether Sea soldiers as offerings, Jiao Hua erupted in fury and accused him of desecrating the dead.

• Jiao Hua mocked the Fifth Hall Master’s ability to deal with Su Yu after Su Yu killed Jiao Tu.
