Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu entered Moon-Reflecting City for the Fifth Trial, where their powers were suppressed and they learned the city’s rules firsthand. After Wang Xingyu killed a man who challenged them to a life-and-death battle, a masked resident offered to explain the city in exchange for food.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu learned Moon-Reflecting City's rules and found that the first Moon-Reflecting Step's Soul Beasts were harmless to them, allowing them to pass without a fight. After fifteen days of cultivation, they returned and fought their way past the second step's Soul Beasts, reaching the third step.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu climbed the Moon-Reflecting Steps, defeating increasingly difficult opponents until they faced a Man Faced Demon Spider and a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear on the twelfth step. Xiao Wu’s tactics turned the two Soul Beasts against each other, but the battle was still ongoing.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu reached the fifteenth Moon-Reflecting Step, where they were summoned alongside thirteen other people who had cleared the fourteenth step. As the group prepared to gang up on them, Wang Xingyu exposed the white-haired old man as a disguised young man.
Wang Xingyu, Xiao Wu, and the white-haired young man fought twelve powerful Soul Masters on the fifteenth level, relying on Wang Xingyu’s Blue Silver Domain to drain their opponents’ Soul Power. After being forced beneath the arena, they hid and considered using Soul Battlefield to defeat the pursuers.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu won the arena battle by hiding beneath it, and Xiao Wu passed Yue Shen’s Fifth Trial and gained the New and Full Moon Domain. The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor then revealed that the Sixth Trial required them to survive against him for an incense stick’s worth of time, leaving Wang Xingyu wondering whether they could quit the assessment.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu began Yue Shen’s Sixth Trial by trying to survive against the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor until the incense burned out. The Wolf Emperor overwhelmed them and gravely wounded Wang Xingyu, while Xiao Wu fought to keep it away from him.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu fought the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, combining mental attacks and Xiao Wu’s Explosive Killing Nine-Stage Throw to land a powerful final strike. The Wolf Emperor survived and said he would honor the trial’s rules, leaving their qualification unresolved.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu fought the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, whose Myriad Attraction Domain controlled the forces pulling and repelling them. They survived his attacks through healing and escape skills, but the fight became a war of attrition as their Soul Power dwindled and Xiao Wu had only one Moon Wheel use remaining.
Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu used two chained Explosive Killing Nine-Stage Throw attacks to cripple the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor’s arm, but it critically wounded Wang Xingyu and broke Xiao Wu’s leg. As Xiao Wu fought on alone, her New and Full Moon Domain transformed into Red Moon Domain, and she began overpowering the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor.
Xiao Wu defeated the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor with her final Falling Moon kick, passing Yue Shen's Sixth Trial alongside Wang Xingyu. After Big Yellow dragged them back to the Yue Shen Tower, the white-robed priest and the Wolf Emperor appeared and continued their fight.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu left Yue Shen Tower with the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor as their bodyguard and returned to the Star Dou Great Forest while preparing for Tang San’s return from Slaughter City. After visiting Holy Soul Village and helping Ah Yin, they reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming and continued cultivating as the four-year appointment approached.
Tang San reunited with Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu after four years, then agreed to help draw out the King of Slaughter. The group prepared to fight him with Tang Hao and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, while Wang Xingyu kept the King’s hidden connection to the Clear Sky Sect to himself.
Tang San and his companions lured the King of Slaughter out by poisoning him and provoking him at Slaughter City's exit. Their battle began with Tang Hao and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor holding him off, while Wang Xingyu waited anxiously for promised outside help.
Wang Xingyu's allies gained the upper hand against the King of Slaughter, but he revealed the Asura Demonic Sword and then flew toward a sacred angel presence. The chapter explained that Wang Xingyu had arranged Spirit Hall's help by bargaining with Xue Qinghe and promising to keep Qian Daoliu alive during the Ninth Trial.
Wang Xingyu arranged for Xue Qinghe to ask Qian Daoliu to purify the King of Slaughter, then discussed keeping Slaughter City under control with Tang San. Qian Daoliu awakened Tang Chen and began purifying the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
Tang Chen reunited with Tang Hao after defeating the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, then learned how the Clear Sky Sect had suffered and revealed that he had little more than a month to live. Wang Xingyu began repairing Tang Chen’s soul and origin, and the group set out for the Clear Sky Sect with Tang Chen placing his hopes in the younger generation.
Tang Hao brought Tang Chen, Wang Xingyu, Xiao Wu, and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor to the secluded Clear Sky Sect, where they crossed a broken chain with Xiao Wu’s help. Tang Xiao recognized Tang Chen as his grandfather and fell to his knees before him.
