• Hu Liena approached Wang Dong'er and said she resembled one of her elders, but Wang Dong'er mistook the remark for a perverted attempt to call her mommy and hurried into a medicine hall.
• Hu Liena gave up questioning Wang Dong'er and decided to ask at Spirit Hall whether it was her teacher's hometown; then a Soul Emperor's oppressive might erupted nearby.
• Earlier, Wang Xiaoming and Zhu Meiyu entered a medicine hall near the border and Star Dou Great Forest, where Wang Xiaoming asked whether any members of the Breaking Clan were present.
• Zhu Meiyu said she had seen no members of the Breaking Clan in the hall, noting that they would carry a sharp presence and a distinctive emblem.

Zhu Meiyu used her Soul Emperor pressure to make the medicine hall clerk fetch his boss, while Wang Xiaoming reassured her and listened as Wang Dong'er explained her encounter with Hu Liena. Hu Liena and Yan left before the shop's burly boss arrived to meet Wang Xiaoming and his group.

After Yang Qingtian's demonstrations failed to impress him, Wang Dong'er revealed her Death Spider Emperor Poison, leaving Yang Qingtian alarmed as its venom threatened to spread.

• Yang Qingtian mistook Wang Xiaoming's group for Netherworld Clan clients and awkwardly praised Zhu Meiyu's figure, prompting her to ask permission to beat him up.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena learned that Spirit Hall’s intelligence on the Fallen Soul Masters had understated their strength, and Yan urged the group to continue the mission.

• Wang Xiaoming used Aromatic Silk Beauty to purify Dong’er’s Death Spider Emperor Poison and the poison in Yang Qingtian’s medicine hall, then departed without explaining his proposed deal.
• Zhu Meiyu suggested taking the offer to the Breaking Clan’s larger branch in Star Luo City, but Wang Xiaoming refused to risk her being discovered there.

Wang Xiaoming rescued Wang Dong'er from a cloaked stranger who turned out to be a Fallen Soul Master obsessed with his scent. After Zhu Meiyu subdued the man, the crowd revealed that Fallen Soul Masters had been growing stronger and causing disappearances around Wind Salt City, while Hu Liena recognized them as the target of her mission.

• Wang Xiaoming identified Aromatic Silk Beauty pollen as the calming fragrance Erdan had smelled and used it to make him cooperate.
• Xie Yue questioned Erdan, who said his name was Erdan and claimed a strange bat had bitten him before he became a Fallen Soul Master.

• Erdan recalled meeting a red-robed man by a river after the bite, losing consciousness, and waking in the river as livestock in nearby villages died.
• Xie Yue ordered the jailer to keep Erdan locked up, then returned with Wang Xiaoming and the others to the reception room to discuss the scant clues.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena assessed the fallen Soul Masters in Wind Salt City while Wang Xiaoming wondered whether their presence was connected to his Knight powers. As Wang Xiaoming’s group left with Hu Liena following them, he noticed bats watching from the courtyard, and Hu Liena warned that something was wrong.

• Xie Yue concluded that fallen Soul Masters had been growing stronger by draining lives and had likely tested their abilities on livestock.
