Chapter Summaries

Di Tian suspected the Spirit Hall Empire had captured the Emperor Auspicious Beast and threatened to unleash a beast tide if it was harmed. As Tang San recovered strangely in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Asura God and Evil God King agreed not to interfere in mortal affairs, Yang Podi took Yang Tianyue and Yang Ping'an from Slaughter City to prepare for the coming upheaval.
