• The middle-aged mage guessed that the army had entered through a secret passage and asked Xindi how they had reached the castle.

• Sun Fei invited Hasselbaink to join Chambord, but Hasselbaink firmly refused, warning that Sun Fei’s conspicuous use of Undead Death Energy could attract the Church and bring about his destruction.

• Hasselbaink calmed Arthur with Necromancy, and Sun Fei restrained his Holy Power before asking if his proof was convincing.

Sun Fei explained that he would not choose between the Holy Church and the Death Temple, arguing that practitioners of every faction should be free to walk openly.

• Sun Fei told Hasselbaink he would not suppress any faction and wanted warriors of every kind to live openly on the continent.

• Sun Fei asked whether Hasselbaink had seen a thousand-meter altar in the palace, but Hasselbaink said he had not.

Sun Fei discovered Hasselbaink had never explored the entire God and Demon Palace and arranged to enter it with him in two days to search for the God and Demon Altar. Sun Fei removed the Holy Power damaging Hasselbaink and healed his power channels, triggering the undead magister’s rapid recovery and a dramatic surge in strength.

• Hasselbaink explained that he had explored less than one-twentieth of the God and Demon Palace, so the God and Demon Altar might still be hidden there.

• Sun Fei studied an active teleportation array and understood its design, materials, and operating principles.
• Sun Fei explained his discovery to Akara and Cain, and Cain estimated they had an eighty- or ninety-percent chance of building an array for the real world.

• Two days later, dozens of experts entered the underground waters and dived toward the Gate of Gods and Demons.
• A group of experts discussed avoiding Twin Flag City's wells because the King of Chambord had sealed them, then three powerful figures entered through a well as the Gate neared its opening.

Sun Fei descended with Hasselbaink and Arthur to the God and Demon Palace, where experts gathered to await the Gate of Gods and Demons. After the King of Black Sand eyed him with hostile intent, Sun Fei struck first and badly wounded him with a single punch.

• Sun Fei, Hasselbaink, and Arthur burrowed beneath the frozen earth and descended into the waters near Twin Flag City.
• Sun Fei warned his companions to avoid fighting Church experts and carried them down inside his energy shield.

• The gathered experts recognized Sun Fei, made way for him, and some secretly plotted to seize his treasures or discover his secrets.
• Sun Fei sensed the King of Black Sand's malicious stare and punched him, smashing half his arm and hurling him backward.

• The King of Black Sand fled after Sun Fei overwhelmed him, and Sun Fei resolved to kill him before he could threaten Chambord City.
• Twenty Gates of Gods and Demons appeared, and the gathered masters rushed through them to battle the Merfolk Magical Beasts guarding the palace.
• Hasselbaink advised Sun Fei to let others explore first, so Sun Fei sent Arthur after the King of Black Sand.

• Sun Fei recognized the Snow Mountain Hermit among the group entering a gate, then entered another with Hasselbaink.
• Sun Fei and Hasselbaink appeared beneath the palace’s force-field barrier, where Merfolk Magical Beasts repeatedly attacked their protective shield.

Sun Fei rescued more than thirty warriors from the Merfolk Magical Beasts and led them through a Gate of Gods and Demons into the vast palace complex. The survivors thanked him and offered future aid before setting off to explore, while Sun Fei gained goodwill among prominent figures.

• Sun Fei captured a Merfolk Magical Beast and discovered it was driven by killing instinct rather than intelligence.

• Sun Fei accepted their thanks modestly, and Hasselbaink approved of his efforts to build goodwill.

Sun Fei explored the God and Demon Palace, learned how its Martial Seat Divine Statues granted martial inheritances, and followed a map toward the center while searching for the God and Demon Altar. After gaining a fist technique from the First Warrior statue, he was attacked from behind.

• Sun Fei found a fighter he had rescued dead beneath a Martial Seat Divine Statue, and Hasselbaink explained that the statues contained powerful martial inheritances but could kill those who failed to withstand their backlash.
• Sun Fei obtained the Fist of the Dread Beast from the beast-shaped statue but judged it unsuitable for humans and weaker than his own Undefeated Emperor Fist.
• Sun Fei and Hasselbaink split up to search for the God and Demon Altar, with Hasselbaink heading west and Sun Fei following a route from a mysterious map toward the palace center.
• Sun Fei used the map to avoid traps and reached the First Warrior Martial Seat Divine Statue, where he quickly learned the Lightning Light Sky-Rending Fist and decided it would suit Uncle Lampard.
• As Sun Fei prepared to move on, an unseen attacker sent a sinister force toward his back.

Sun Fei killed an invisible assassin in the God and Demon Palace and learned that more attackers were tracking him. Meanwhile, the wounded King of Black Sand emerged beneath Twin Flag City and prepared to destroy it while Sun Fei was away.

• Sun Fei sensed an invisible assassin, captured him, and killed him after the assassin refused to reveal who wanted Sun Fei’s secrets.
• Sun Fei found the assassin’s Illusory Breath Bracelet and took it for study, while four other assassins discussed their failed test and followed him.
• The King of Black Sand escaped the boundless waters with severe injuries and vowed to avenge himself by attacking Twin Flag City.
