Eldest Princess Tanasha kept Sun Fei’s purple potion and prepared to wait for an expected attack, while Obinna plotted against Chambord and tried to identify a mysterious expert. Both sides anticipated that the conflict would come to a head in three days.

• Eldest Princess Tanasha picked up Sun Fei’s purple potion and felt its scent ease her pain, then told Ziyan that she would keep Sun Fei alive as bait.
• Ziyan reported that Heavenly Sight had found no attackers, but Tanasha insisted her enemy would act and ordered her to stop searching and wait three days.

• A burly man emerged from the wall in a flash of orange-yellow flame and asked Sun Fei if he had deliberately lured him there.

Sun Fei pretended to be frightened by He Shengzhen to draw information from him, then revealed his strength and confronted the Four-Star warrior. He Shengzhen’s attack ended with Sun Fei striking him down, and the chapter left his fate unclear.

• He Shengzhen entered the alley to test Sun Fei, mocked him, and showed off his Four-Star Earth-Element power.
• Sun Fei acted terrified and questioned He Shengzhen, but grew disappointed when he failed to learn anything useful.

• He Shengzhen realized Sun Fei had tricked him, flew into a rage, and charged with both fists.
• Sun Fei met He Shengzhen’s attack with his own fists, shattered his Dou Qi, and sent him flying while blood sprayed.

Sun Fei stormed into a banquet hall to capture the assassin He Shengzhen, believing he had found the people who ordered the attack. He discovered the hall held Best and Prince Modrić of the friendly Kingdom of Lake, and the chapter ended when Modrić identified He Shengzhen as a guard of Prince Obinna of the Kingdom of Thrace.

• Sun Fei and Black Whirlwind burst into the banquet hall, startling the guests and guards.
• Sun Fei pulled the wounded He Shengzhen from beneath the floor and restrained him with Black Whirlwind’s help.

• Prince Modrić recognized He Shengzhen as a personal guard of Prince Obinna of the Kingdom of Thrace and one of its few four-star experts.

Prince Modrić identified He Shengzhen as a leading expert from the Kingdom of Thrace, prompting Sun Fei to suspect Prince Obinna and move against the Thracian delegation. Sun Fei and Black Whirlwind entered the delegation’s guesthouse and found it filled with recently slain people.

• Prince Modrić recognized He Shengzhen as an earth-element expert who had served Prince Obinna, and Sun Fei concluded that Thrace was involved in the attempted assassination.
• Sun Fei decided to seize Prince Obinna, and Prince Modrić offered to help by surrounding the Kingdom of Thrace’s guesthouse with Lake soldiers.
• Sun Fei and Black Whirlwind approached the guesthouse and detected the scent of fresh blood before Sun Fei kicked open its gates.
• Sun Fei and Black Whirlwind found dozens of corpses inside the guesthouse, with no living people in sight.

Sun Fei investigated the massacre of the Thracian delegation and learned that He Shengzhen had poisoned himself, leaving the mystery unresolved. The next morning, Warden Oleg reported that someone had broken into the restricted area on the back mountain, confirming Sun Fei’s growing fears.

• Sun Fei found the Kingdom of Thrace’s delegation dead, including Prince Obinna, and ordered Brook to seal off the guesthouse and keep the news quiet.

• A soldier reported that He Shengzhen had died by swallowing a hidden Poison Potion before Sun Fei could question him.
• Sun Fei collected a sample of the poison and ordered Brook to move He Shengzhen’s body to the Thracian guesthouse.
• Sun Fei returned to the palace and wondered whether the experts had come for the God and Demon Ruins, then fell asleep pondering the conspiracy.
• The next morning, Warden Oleg told Sun Fei that someone had broken into the restricted area on the back mountain.

After an intruder searched Chambord City’s rear mountain, Sun Fei decided to focus on strengthening himself and his country. He leveled his Assassin, forged the Taurus Helmet and Excalibur, successfully exchanged both for use in the real world, and brought Charsi out of the Diablo World to help Chambord’s blacksmiths.

• Sun Fei learned from Pierce and the guards that a powerful masked intruder had searched the rear mountain before withdrawing without causing casualties.
• Sun Fei examined the mountain, concluded that Chambord City needed greater strength, and entered the Diablo World to train his Assassin, reach level 10, and recruit Ihanla.
• Sun Fei learned potion-making from Auntie Akara and received the Taurus Helmet from Charsi, then reforged a magic sword and named it Excalibur.
• Sun Fei successfully exchanged the Taurus Helmet and Excalibur for real-world use and triggered Grant, allowing him to give both items to others for unrestricted use.
• Sun Fei brought Charsi into the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City and asked her to help and train Rock, Samuel, and the other blacksmiths.

• Charsi impressed Chambord’s blacksmiths with her forging skills, and Warden Oleg estimated the labyrinth renovations would take no more than another half month.
• Sun Fei ordered Ivanović to keep the Kingdom of Thrace’s lodgings sealed, then used Find Potion on the corpses and obtained twenty-six Hulk Potions.

• Sun Fei returned to the underground labyrinth, where Pierce, Drogba, and the others waited for him.
• Sun Fei told the gathered warriors about Excalibur and its former wielder, Shura, then focused his attention on Pierce as he prepared to present the sword.

Sun Fei used [Grant] to turn Excalibur and the Taurus Helmet into powerful equipment for Pierce and Drogba, naming them two of Chambord City's Twelve Gold Knights. He then gave [Hulk Potion] to the trained warriors and Torres, leaving them stronger as Chambord City's effort to build its elite forces continued.

• Sun Fei granted the Holy Sword Excalibur to Pierce, and it vanished into Pierce's forehead.
• Pierce demonstrated that he could summon Excalibur and cut a stone block cleanly, so Sun Fei named him the Capricorn Gold Knight.
• Sun Fei granted the Taurus Helmet to Drogba and named him the Taurus Gold Knight; the helmet could be concealed in his body and greatly increased his defense.
• Sun Fei gave the twenty stone bridge warriors individually dosed [Hulk Potion] to raise their strength toward the level of One-Star Warriors.

Sun Fei discovered that Assassin True Qi followed channels resembling Dou Qi channels and began considering how to create higher-grade manuals for Chambord City. He used Assassin traps to protect the mountain behind the city, then looked ahead to the investiture ceremony on East Mountain, where he expected hidden answers to emerge.

• Sun Fei gave Essien, O'Neal, and Kahn water-attribute Dou Qi manuals and Chipped Sapphires, then sent the green-skinned strongmen out of the stone hall.

• A cloaked stranger appeared in Oleg's residence, where Doni lay unconscious, and Oleg realized the intruder was far stronger than he was.

A black-cloaked man forced Oleg to guide him to the summit of East Mountain, where Sun Fei’s coronation preparations drew together foreign envoys and Zenit’s delegation. As Tanasha raised the crown at sunrise, the disguised attendant behind Oleg watched with hatred, poised to act.

• The black-cloaked man restrained Oleg with flaming ropes, melted his sword, and threatened to kill him unless he led the way to East Mountain.

Six assassins launched a coordinated attack on Tanasha at the King's Altar, and Sun Fei used his Amazon Warrior archery to disrupt some of their strikes before charging to protect her. As the remaining attacks closed in, an unseen swordsman appeared and deflected them with a longsword.

• Tanasha dismissed Paris’s attempt to unsettle her and challenged her to reveal Dominguez’s other plans.
• Paris ordered the assassins to attack: three targeted Tanasha and Sun Fei, one began collapsing the king’s altar, and Paris went after Angela.
