Shi Bing abandoned his defiance, admitted the attack was wrong, and offered compensation while revealing that a mysterious person had persuaded the Dou Ling and Heavenly Soul Empires to act.

• Shi Bing argued that the peaceful Sun Moon Emperor would not start a war over Kong Xuan, but Kong Xuan explained that the emperor was dying and Crown Prince Xu Tianran was eager for conquest.
• Kong Xuan warned that Kong Deming's support for Xu Tianran could turn Shi Bing's attack into a justification for invading the Dou Ling Empire.
• Shi Bing threatened that the Dou Ling and Heavenly Soul Empires would join forces with the Star Luo Empire against Sun Moon, but Kong Xuan and Kong Deming dismissed the threat and asserted Sun Moon's military strength.

After a fierce clash showed Du Busi had reached Limit-level combat strength, Ye Xishui abandoned her attack and withdrew with Long Xiaoyao.

• Du Busi appeared beside Kong Deming in black Battle Armor, and Long Xiaoyao recognized him despite Du Busi denying his Body Sect identity.

• Ye Xishui questioned Feng Ling about Nangong Wan’s disappearance, and Feng Ling admitted that the matter involved her.
• Zhongli Wu tried to defend Feng Ling, but Ye Xishui demanded that Feng Ling explain what had happened.
• Feng Ling began to say that Yan Shaozhe of Shrek Academy had come to her, and Zhongli Wu interrupted her in anger, accusing her of getting back together with her former lover.

Feng Ling explained that she arranged an attempt to kill Kong Xuan to protect the Holy Spirit Cult from his growing power, then accepted responsibility for the failed plan. Ye Xishui demoted her but spared her harsher punishment, ordering her to recruit promising Evil Martial Soul youths for the weakened cult.

• Ye Xishui silenced Zhongli Wu and let Feng Ling explain that Yan Shaozhe had warned her of Kong Xuan's extraordinary strength and potential threat to the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Feng Ling said she had Nangong Wan recruit the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling empires to send four Titled Douluos to kill Kong Xuan, but the attempt failed and Kong Deming traced it to the cult.
