The Fairness Convoy encountered a larger convoy led by a second-tier transcendent whose sense of smell detected them and who seemed to grow stronger when women beat him. After his convoy’s bus blocked the road, he approached Chen Fan’s group and invited the women to join the Gentleman Convoy.

• Nie Shufeng reported that the approaching convoy had over thirty vehicles, more than three hundred survivors, and four transcendents, while Wang Bing predicted a high chance they would attack.

• Chen Fan and Nie Shufeng agreed to call their alliance the Dawn Alliance, then argued over which convoy would rank first.

After recruiting a lone monk named Huishi, Chen Fan’s convoy continued onward and reached Nanwushan Village, where he rode his Nightmare Battle Cloud in to investigate. The survivors followed behind him, hoping to stay safe as they searched the ruined village.

Chen Fan cleared two monsters from a village supermarket and gathered its supplies before returning to the convoy. He learned that Shen Li had gone mad after a Shadow Weird attack, while Li Yuanyuan returned with seven monsters pursuing her.

• Chen Fan entered the village supermarket, where a Ripper Monster sprayed tainted blood and killed an old woman before Chen Fan cut it down with the Spirit Refining Sword.
• Chen Fan’s yin souls killed an Eight-Legged Monster inside the supermarket, and Chen Fan stored both monsters’ remains and collected the supermarket’s supplies.

Chen Fan led the Mortal Convoy out of the village, then joined Nie Shufeng’s group for a welcome party for newly recruited supernaturals. After the newcomers learned about the convoys’ abilities, Yang Xiaomei began introducing herself.

• Li Yuanyuan challenged Chen Fan, who sent ten iron-armored corpses to fight her and left her sprawled on the ground.

• Chen Fan and Nie Shufeng held a welcome party, where Chen Fan produced Maotai and abundant food that amazed the newcomers.
• The convoy members introduced their supernatural abilities, and Yang Xiaomei began the newcomers’ introductions by revealing her [Cat Mage] power.

Yang Xiaomei, Shen Li, and Ma Wuyuan explained their extraordinary abilities while the convoy’s extraordinary people socialized and sparred. As the survivors watched from a distance and a monk gathered listeners, Chen Fan prepared to try on the white robe made for him.

• Yang Xiaomei described her [Cat Mage] ability, while Shen Li and Ma Wuyuan argued over whether [Boxer] or [Lightning Whip] was stronger.
• Shen Li explained that their former captain’s [Olfactory M Receptor] let him smell unusual scents and grow stronger when attacked, and Yang Xiaomei admitted the group had worked with him despite his repulsive behavior.

• Li Yuanyuan challenged Shen Li and Ma Wuyuan to spar and knocked both of them down with a single palm strike each.
• Zhao Xing warned Zhao Xin to ignore the monk speaking to survivors and focus on whoever could keep them alive.
• Chen Fan returned to his RV and found the long white robe finished, eager to put it on.

Chen Fan’s convoy traveled for twenty-six hours after Wang Bing divined danger, despite growing exhaustion and dwindling supplies. Nie Shufeng finally ordered a roadside rest, and Wang Bing suddenly noticed a bald man staring in through her window.

• Chen Fan crafted the Dust-Avoiding Dharma Robe and went to sleep after arranging the night watch.
• Wang Bing divined danger before dawn, so Chen Fan and Nie Shufeng led the convoy onward even though Qian Lei sensed no threat.

• Chen Fan urged Nie Shufeng to make the decision as captain, and Nie Shufeng ordered the convoy to stop and rest after twenty-six hours.
• Wang Bing snapped out of her daze and saw a bald man with narrowed eyes staring through her vehicle window.

Wang Bing was captured in a miniature world ruled by the holy monk, but black-robed rebels rescued her from execution before a giant finger crushed their leader. Back in the convoy, Chen Fan discovered that A Zheng was a supernatural being and asked him about his ability.

• Wang Bing woke bound to a stake in a miniature settlement and realized Huishi had attacked her, leaving her unable to warn the captain and the others.
• A scar-faced fanatic set Wang Bing’s pyre alight, but black-robed people stormed the crowd, killed him, and rescued her.
• Food fell from the sky as a giant finger descended, crushing the rebels’ leader after he threw Wang Bing to a fleeing companion and urged them to save her.
• Wang Bing watched the leader die while being carried away, and a trace of crimson appeared in her pupils.
• Chen Fan asked a long-limbed young survivor whether he was a supernatural being, and A Zheng admitted it and gave his name.

A Zheng explained that his [Triathlon] ability gave him extreme endurance but made him crave sweets, while Nie Shufeng’s group confronted Huishi over Wang Bing’s disappearance. Huishi admitted taking Wang Bing and revealed his power by attacking the group, leaving Chen Fan and the others preparing to fight a third-tier extraordinary ability user.

• A Zheng told Chen Fan that [Triathlon] let him endure strenuous activity on almost no food or water, though its cost was an extreme craving for sweets.
• Nie Shufeng gathered the survivors and confronted Huishi, revealing that he had seen Huishi appear beside Wang Bing’s vehicle before she disappeared.
• Zheng Alin threatened Huishi with the Crimson Flame Sword, and Huishi said he had sent Wang Bing to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
• Huishi created a massive boulder to escape the encirclement and enlarged his prayer beads into enormous spheres that crashed down on Chen Fan and the others.
• Nie Shufeng identified Huishi as a third-tier extraordinary ability user as Chen Fan, Li Yuanyuan, Zheng Alin, and Wu Zhiyou prepared to fight him, while Yang Xiaomei, Shen Li, and Ma Wuyuan kept their distance.

Chen Fan and his allies attacked Huishi with swords, jiangshi, yin souls, and lightning, but Huishi survived a sword through the head by shrinking his vital organs. As Huishi prepared to retaliate, Wang Bing continued staining his image inside a crystal ball with her blood.

• Chen Fan sent his Spirit Refining Sword, yin souls, and Iron-Armored Jiangshi against Huishi while Li Yuanyuan attacked with her Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
• Huishi used his prayer beads to repel the attackers, but Zheng Alin and Chen Fan coordinated their swords and cut his back.
• Zheng Alin stunned Huishi with the Thunderous Sword, and Ma Wuyuan struck him five times with his Lightning Whip.
• Chen Fan trapped Huishi in a nightmare while the yin souls and jiangshi attacked him, then drove the Spirit Refining Sword through Huishi's head.
• Huishi survived by shrinking his vital organs, blasted his attackers away, and told Chen Fan that he had failed to kill him.
• Wang Bing continued applying her supernatural power to Huishi's image in a crystal ball, gradually staining it with her blood.

Huishi used his thirty-three prayer beads to keep Chen Fan and the others under pressure until Chen Fan realized that defending himself made Huishi’s control over the beads falter. The group wounded Huishi, and Chen Fan finished him with the newly refined mid-grade Annihilation Death Nail, which destroyed his body and soul.

• Huishi sent thirty-three prayer beads after Chen Fan and the others, forcing them to defend themselves while he focused ten beads on Chen Fan.
• Wu Zhiyou charged Huishi but was knocked back, prompting Chen Fan to send ten Iron-Armored Jiangshi after him as a test.
• Chen Fan discovered that Huishi could not precisely control every bead while defending himself and called on the others to seize the opening.
• Wu Zhiyou pierced Huishi’s defenses and wounded his chest, then Zheng Alin slashed his back and Yang Xiaomei’s Cat Bus struck him with its paw.
• Chen Fan refined a rusty nail into the mid-grade Annihilation Death Nail and launched it at Huishi.
• The nail pinned Huishi to the ground, and its death qi destroyed his flesh and soul until he crumbled into dust.

After Huishi’s death, the survivors returned from the miniature world in his bowl, and the convoy rested while its members recovered and distributed supplies. Chen Fan inspected his new Annihilation Death Nail, then Yang Xiaomei came to trade gasoline for meat to feed Little Red.

• Huishi’s bowl spilled the survivors and miniature-world debris into the real world, and Chen Fan silenced the survivors who cursed him by threatening them with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
• Zheng Alin and Nie Shufeng helped the exhausted Wang Bing, who apologized for her mistaken divination and revealed that she had reached the second tier.
• Nie Shufeng’s group distributed some food and gasoline to survivors as compensation, while Chen Fan received only a verbal apology.
• Chen Fan rested in his RV and examined the Annihilation Death Nail, learning that it caused targets, including living beings and inanimate objects, to undergo complete necrosis.
• Yang Xiaomei asked Chen Fan to trade her gasoline for packaged meat because Little Red preferred meat.

Chen Fan traded meat for Yang Xiaomei’s gasoline, then offered Zheng Alin purified water that eased the injuries caused by her supernatural powers. He discovered that Nie Shufeng was playing with stones, leaving the group resting in an odd assortment of ways.

• Chen Fan traded twenty packs of meat to Yang Xiaomei for five liters of gasoline, and she mixed the food for Little Red.
