Hong Gu appeared reluctant to join the conflict, leaving Xu Long to mask his urgency as they faced an uncertain stalemate with Mount Emei.

• Xu Long used a command to halt the Jade Pivot Sect’s world rules, broke the great cultivator’s banner formation, and damaged the sect’s mountain-protecting formation with his sword net.
• Xu Long entered the Jade Pivot Sect and approached its fiery red peak, where he met Hong Gu and stared at the silver bells on her ankles until Huan'er rebuked him.
• Xu Long told Hong Gu he had come for the Jade Pivot Sect, and Hong Gu dismissed Huan'er before speaking about her wish to guard the mountain gate and live apart from the world.

At Mount Wutai, Hong Gu’s formation blocked Zunsheng from coming to White Eyebrows’ aid, and Li Yingqi and Lian Xing broke the Dharma body’s attack for the moment.

• The young man broke Mount Emei’s formation and challenged White Eyebrows, who recognized the Dharma body as the work of a Blood Alliance villain’s formation diagram.

• Li Yingqi and Lian Xing continued pursuing the enemy, guiding countless sword shadows into a vast, revolving formation beneath the heavens.

Xu Long broke Li Yingqi and Lian Xing’s fused-sword assault with his formation and Power of Oblivion, then turned the battle against them at Mount Emei. As the two cultivators tried to stall him until Zunsheng arrived, Xu Long drew a long black gun barrel and fired a scorching projectile at Li Yingqi.
