Ma Hongjun approached Bai Chenxiang to strike up a conversation, but she mistook him for a scoundrel and slapped him. He chased after her, asking if she remembered him and mentioning how they had once teamed up against the Three Perverted Swordsmen. Bai Chenxiang, however, told Ma Hongjun to stay away from her. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing visited the Elephant Armored Clan and questioned Huyan Zhen about the disappearance of many sect leaders in Longxing City.
Huyan Zhen explained that it was a turbulent time, and some sect leaders abandoning their sects was understandable. He added that the Elephant Armored Clan was willing to take in smaller sects, considering it a contribution to the soul master world. When asked if he knew the whereabouts of the missing sect leaders, Huyan Zhen denied any knowledge. Dai Mubai urged him to personally investigate and handle the matter.
Zhu Zhuqing, under the pretense of wanting to explore the Elephant Armored Clan, discovered a heavily guarded area from which horrifying screams could be heard. When she tried to investigate further, guards stopped her, and Huyan Zhen also stepped in to block her path. Dai Mubai attempted to force his way in using his royal status, but Huyan Zhen firmly denied him entry. At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing’s father appeared to mediate the situation.
He subtly warned Huyan Zhen to act cautiously, reminding him that if anyone violated the law to expand their sect, the Xingluo royal family would not let it slide. He then escorted Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing away from the Elephant Armored Clan. The Xingluo Emperor summoned Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing back to the royal family. It was revealed that the Elephant Armored Clan was under Spirit Hall’s influence.
Zhu Zhuqing’s father cautioned them that openly confronting Huyan Zhen and attempting to catch him in the act on his territory was equivalent to challenging Spirit Hall. He pointed out that they lacked the strength to fight against Spirit Hall’s numerous titled Douluo. The Xingluo Emperor advised them to return to the royal family and proceed with their wedding plans. Zhu Zhuqing, however, didn’t want to become the Crown Princess, feeling the role was too burdensome.
She wished to marry Dai Mubai but rejected the idea of being a princess. Dai Mubai felt frustrated, believing he had been working hard for their future together, while Zhu Zhuqing seemed to want to give up. This led to an argument, and the two parted on bad terms. Tang San persuaded the Speed Clan to join the Tang Sect, but the Speed Clan’s leader, Bai He, was adamant about not joining.
Bai He argued that with the Defense Clan and the Strength Clan already in the Tang Sect, there was no need for a four-clan gathering. He suggested the Speed Clan could maintain a mutual support relationship with the Breaking Clan instead. When Ma Hongjun and the others returned, Titan introduced Tang San’s friends to Bai He.
However, upon seeing Ma Hongjun, who had previously annoyed Bai Chenxiang, Bai He’s expression darkened, and he advised Tang San to choose his friends carefully. Ma Hongjun expressed his belief that he and Bai Chenxiang were destined to meet. Zhu Zhuqing, however, poured cold water on him, saying he was likely imagining things since Bai Chenxiang probably didn’t remember him. Dai Mubai suggested there must be a misunderstanding and that it could be resolved through a proper conversation.
This sparked another disagreement between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and their friends, noticing the tension, asked if they were arguing. Both denied it. Later, Dai Mubai approached Zhu Zhuqing and suggested they resolve their conflict with a fight. He reminded her that Xiao Wu had once taught her that when unhappy or in disagreement, fighting it out could help. Whoever won would have the final say.
During the fight, Dai Mubai deliberately lost, admitting that he had underestimated the difficulty of changing traditions. He promised to listen to Zhu Zhuqing in the future—except on the matter of separating, which he would never agree to. Zhu Zhuqing, in turn, agreed that she didn’t want to separate either, and the two reconciled.
Tang San recalled that his aunt had told him the Speed Clan was the fastest among the four clans, but their attack and defense capabilities were as weak as those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Over the years, the Speed Clan had only survived thanks to the protection of the other three clans. Tang San decided the Tang Sect could provide the Speed Clan with support and chose to gift them the Zhuge Divine Crossbows.
To demonstrate the Tang Sect’s value, Tang San proposed a speed competition with the Speed Clan. Bai He found the idea arrogant and appointed Bai Chenxiang, the most promising member of their clan, to represent them. Ma Hongjun volunteered to compete against Bai Chenxiang on Tang San’s behalf. During the competition, Ma Hongjun revealed his Phoenix martial spirit, which directly suppressed Bai Chenxiang’s Swift-Tailed Swallow martial spirit due to its superior bloodline.
