You Lan saw that Shen Li and Xing Zhi were caught in an endless argument, so she immediately reported and asked them to go to Lingxiao Hall. When Shen Li arrived, she heard the Divine Lord speak about the attack on the Spirit Tribe five days ago. In that battle, the civilians of the Spirit Tribe suffered heavy casualties, ten generals were killed instantly, and countless other soldiers also fell. Even the Spirit Lord was seriously wounded and remained unconscious.

Hearing that this had happened five days ago and she was only now being informed, Shen Li couldn’t help but feel indignant. However, after thinking everything over carefully, she found the situation extremely suspicious. It seemed that the fire attack on the Immortal Realm was just a feint, and the real target was the Spirit Tribe. Shen Li softened her tone and immediately bid farewell to the Immortal Realm to return home.

Xing Zhi watched Shen Li’s departing figure with a deep sense of loss. Even though he knew he must not develop feelings for Shen Li, he found it beyond his control. When Shen Li returned to the Spirit Tribe, she was met with scenes of devastation. The few surviving soldiers were covered in bloodstains, making it heartbreaking to behold. The Spirit Lord lay unconscious on the sickbed.

The subordinates reported that the doctors had diagnosed the Spirit Lord as being poisoned by miasma. Shen Li saw a wound on the Spirit Lord’s neck, already purplish and yet long unhealed. The subordinates reported that only a little over three hundred enemies had attacked, but they possessed extraordinary strength. Though they looked no different from ordinary people, no blade could pierce their skin unless infused with spells.

Shen Li thought of the black-clothed figures she had encountered recently, who had attacked with mindless, puppet-like ferocity. It had already been five days, but the fallen generals had yet to be buried. According to the Spirit Tribe's tradition, soldiers must be buried before generals after a war. Shen Li mourned each fallen soldier one by one, recalling their smiles and voices from the past, feeling sorrowful beyond words.

Suddenly, she heard that Mo Fang had also been swallowed by the enemy during the battle. This news enraged her even more. She ordered the soldiers to search at all costs—living or dead, Mo Fang must be found. Besides that, she organized a grand memorial ceremony and swore to avenge them all. In the Dark Forest, Fu Sheng heard his subordinates report that even after scouring the Spirit Realm, they still had not found the Bihai Cangzhu.

Now that Shen Li had returned to the Spirit Tribe and the Spirit Lord had received an antidote to suppress the miasma poison, it would be much harder to launch another attack. Fu Sheng berated his subordinates for their incompetence. In the last battle, only a few puppets had been lost, which was insignificant. He planned to create even more puppets for a larger-scale assault.

To increase his power, Fu Sheng ordered his men to find some strong and robust young men for him to feed on. Fu Sheng’s true target was the Bihai Cangzhu. He speculated that the Spirit Lord had already handed the bead over to Shen Li. A full-scale assault would surely invite the master's rebuke, so Fu Sheng ordered his subordinates to keep the matter quiet and make preparations in secret.

Soon after, the Spirit Realm patrol reported that several black-clothed enemies from the last assault were moving straight toward Xu Tianyuan, committing atrocities along the way. The Spirit Tribe's generals, still grieving for their fallen comrades, were eager to launch a counterattack. However, Shen Li warned them not to act rashly, for the barrier of Xu Tianyuan would not be easily broken. This time, she would personally lead the forces to confront the invaders.

The residents living on the outskirts of Xu Tianyuan held a grand blessing ceremony for the Spirit Tribe’s generals. However, just as Shen Li set out, Xu Tianyuan was ambushed. Some villagers, terrified by the ghastly faces of the invaders, fled in panic. The clear skies were instantly covered by dark clouds. As the fiends closed in, and the villagers' lives hung by a thread, Shen Li led the Spirit Tribe's generals, arriving like the wind.

Wherever Shen Li’s spear pointed, the fiends were crushed into flesh and dust. A little boy, who had been wailing in despair moments ago, watched Shen Li descend, stepping on a red cloud, invincible and unstoppable, so awestruck that he even forgot the danger around him. Fu Sheng finally confronted Shen Li. This time, however, his palm was wounded by Shen Li’s attack, and he failed to gain the upper hand. Shen Li warned him that if he wanted to rampage through the Spirit Realm, he would first have to ask whether the weapon in her hand agreed.
