• Three days later, Tang Feng and Tang Lie arrived at the Heaven-Burning Demonic Ape's territory, and Tang Feng released his Martial Soul.

Tang Feng tested his strength against a thirty-five-thousand-year-old Heaven-Burning Demonic Ape but was outmatched, so Tang Lie subdued it for him.

At a council on reopening the sect, he supported a gradual return and began outlining precautions against Spirit Hall, leaving his three proposed preparations unrevealed.

The sect assigned him to reunite the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans, while Tang Xiao would seek allies; Tang Feng and Tang Lie prepared to leave, and Tang Lie became a Super Douluo after absorbing a Soul Bone.

• Tang Feng proposed compensating the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans, uniting with the Upper Three Sects and the two great empires, and cultivating before the sect reopened its mountain gates.

• Tang Feng declined because of his blood feud with Spirit Hall and his plans to attend the clan gathering and train in Slaughter City.

• Tang Feng explained that Nine Heart Begonia’s supposed curse came from a life-force bond and presented a Yin-Yang Twin-Stemmed Lotus as a possible means to break it.

The Ye Family pledged itself to the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang Feng ended by proposing a marriage alliance with Ye Lingling.

• Tang Feng acknowledged the losses caused by the Clear Sky Sect’s decision to disband the four clans and promised their chiefs positions as elders if the clans returned.
• Niu Gao doubted Tang Feng could offer a chance to reach Titled Douluo, so Tang Feng bet that the Defense Clan would return if he could last one incense stick against him.

Tang Feng defeated Niu Gao in their contest, securing the Defense Clan’s return to the Clear Sky Sect, and Bai He agreed to return with the Speed Clan. Tai Tan agreed on the condition that Tang Hao be welcomed back, prompting Tang Feng to challenge Tai Tan’s praise of Tang Hao and question his loyalty to the sect and the four clans.

• Tang Feng used his Tiger-Guarding Diamond Body to withstand Niu Gao’s strongest attack until the incense burned out, and Niu Gao conceded.
