Chapter Summaries

Lü Hong and Hu An helped the righteous cultivators defeat the Devil Cultivators at Eagle Plain, then trapped Bai Yutao until the secret-realm exit closed and severed his arm. They escaped at the last moment and reunited with the Luozhen Sect disciples, where an arm suddenly appeared behind Lü Hong.

Li Yunjing found a skull and a letter pointing to White Bone Daoist’s remains, then handed the clue to Wang Qianxue and Xiao Tianxing, learning that the remains held a Corpse Liberation Immortal Method sought by the Immortal Alliance’s True Immortal patriarch. At the Heavenly Devil Sect, Martial Uncle Pan returned without Yutao and stayed silent as He Pingxin and the three old devils demanded to know what had happened.

He reviewed the Luozhen Sect’s resources and began upgrading his cave abode, meeting its requirements and preparing to set up a grade-two Spirit Attraction Formation.

Li Yunjing brought Jin Xiaofeng into the Luozhen Sect as an outer disciple and used Jin Yue’s treasures to support the sect and its ally, the Departing Maple Sect. Two days later, he learned that the Great Howl Monastery’s abbot planned to visit and that Shiniang had sought him out with something important.
