• The Pill Tower Ancestor appeared, revealed that the Netherworld Lotus Fire had faked its sealing, and struck at it after it broke free and severed Void Devouring Flame’s arm.

• Lan Hong told Xiao Yan and the others that an Emperor Grade Nascent Pill had helped the two Heavenly Flames escape the cave abode, and that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was the key to opening it.

The Netherworld Lotus Fire fully activated the Heaven Refining Ancient Array and trapped Xiao Yan and the others, but Lan Hong helped the Netherworld Lotus Saint manifest and seize control long enough to let them escape.
