Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong infiltrated the Heart-Eroding Stronghold cultivators gathered around a mushroom demon, despite the danger posed by the pale Evil Bone junior envoy. The junior envoy ordered Hei Sha to prepare the formation to suppress the demon’s poisonous mist, while the two disguised orthodox cultivators remained among the crowd.

• Chen Shuangbai warned Zhao Shiyong that the pale leader was likely an Evil Bone junior envoy and that their disguises might fail at close range.

• The junior envoy ordered Hei Sha to begin the next step, and Hei Sha directed the cultivators to take their positions at the six formation flags.

Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong secretly prepared to sabotage the Heart-Eroding Devil Cultivators’ formation while the Young Emissary of Evil Bone attacked the mushroom demon. As the emissary prepared a renewed strike, the two orthodox cultivators resolved to attack him first.

• Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong split up and hid talismans near two formation flags so they could sabotage the formation at the right moment.
• Hei Sha and White Raven activated the six black skull flags, forming a giant bone claw that struck through the poisonous mist at the mushroom demon.

• The Young Emissary of Evil Bone ordered his guardians to attack with everything they had and replenished the cracked bone claw with his Law Power.
• Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong agreed to strike the emissary as soon as he launched his next attack, before the Devil Cultivators could overwhelm them.

Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong ambushed Fang Mo and his Heart-Eroding Stronghold guards, but Fang Mo revealed that he was willing to sacrifice his own subordinates. The fight continued as Fang Mo unleashed his bone lotus against the two sect disciples.

• The junior envoy attacked the mushroom demon with a bone claw while Zhao Shiyong struck Hei Sha and Chen Shuangbai froze White Crow with the Yin Thunder Method.

• Fang Mo attacked Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong with bone-lotus petals, and the two men killed White Crow and Hei Sha as they dodged the attack.

Fang Mo fought Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong from atop his White Bone Lotus Seat, but Chen Shuangbai’s surprise strike disrupted him and Zhao Shiyong kept up a relentless assault. Fang Mo’s defenses held for now, though he remained numb from the Yin Thunder and his killing intent deepened.

• Fang Mo dismissed his dead companions as expendable and used the White Bone Lotus Seat to block Zhao Shiyong’s attack and unleash a rain of bone arrows.
• Zhao Shiyong burned through the arrows with his magic robe while Chen Shuangbai dodged them, and Fang Mo followed with the soul-attacking White Bone Heart-Piercing Stab.

• Zhao Shiyong relentlessly attacked and taunted Fang Mo, but the White Bone Lotus Seat’s defenses held as Fang Mo struggled to move and his killing intent grew.

Chen Shuangbai and Zhao Shiyong fought Fang Mo underground, but Fang Mo’s hidden Profound Bone Snake Puppet poisoned Zhao and left Chen alone. Chen used his two magic swords to unleash an emerald flood dragon that swallowed Fang Mo, shaking the underground space.

• Fang Mo used his white bone lotus seat and giant white bone bow to withstand Zhao Shiyong and Chen Shuangbai’s attacks.
• Zhao Shiyong pressed Fang Mo with his crimson cauldron and flaming punches, but a concealed Profound Bone Snake Puppet ambushed him and poisoned him.
