• Dugu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan, and Ye Linyuan welcomed them as Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin landed nearby.

• Dugu Bo swore on his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul not to reveal Lin Mo’s secret and promised to grant him three favors if he could cure the poison in himself and Dugu Yan.
