Xu De and the Sun Moon Empire forces ambushed Tang Hao in Nuoding City, forcing him to fight while protecting Tang San. Tang Hao escaped their encirclement, but Tang San’s recognition of Xiao Wu gave the pursuers time to surround them again.

Tang Hao detonated his remaining soul rings to break through the Sun Moon Empire’s defenses, but he took a Scarlet Sun Cannon blast while saving Tang San. As Tang Hao lay dying, Xu De threatened to have Xiao Wu shoot Tang San unless Tang Hao revealed where Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone were.

• Chen Xin arrived outside Nuoding City and attacked the Sun Moon Empire forces, but their defensive Soul Tools held off his strike.

• Tang Hao forced Xu Tianxing back and took the cannon blast meant for Tang San, leaving a hole in his chest as Chen Xin carried Tang San away.
• Xu De approached the dying Tang Hao while Xiao Wu aimed a sniper-rifle-shaped Soul Tool at Tang San, and Xu De demanded the locations of Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

• Meng Yiran emerged from the illusion and charged at Xu De with her Serpent Cane.

Xu De and Meng Yiran cleared up their misunderstanding after Flying Feather Douluo mistook her for an assassin and attacked. A scream and a report of a sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast, a Soul Bone, and a plant drew them toward Yu Xiaogang, who had apparently been bitten between the thighs.

• Flying Feather Douluo attacked Meng Yiran, and Xu De used Amaterasu to blast her out of the way before catching her as they fell.
