**Death of Azure Sky** is the 14th Standard Regional Wizard Quest released for the Taiwanese version of Crash Fever.

After the events of Burning TP City and The Shadow Tripartite System, Zhuang Zi is messaging the Mo Base about what had happened at TP City in the previous episode. Sima Qian explains to Zhuang Zi how she obtained the Emperor's Armor. Then she asks about the situation at TP City, Zhuang Zi responds that the six nations are under lockdown, and that it's a complete mess. He then mentions that some Immortals want to speak to the group at Mo Base.

West Queen appears in the communication, introducing herself, mentioning that it's her first time meeting everyone there but the Adapter. The Adapter is surprised to see West Queen's new appearance, and West Queen replies by saying she used to be very low key, which is why she looks so different now. Ban Chao asks if the Adapter knows West Queen (Referring to her as a "Young Girl"), Mo Zi replies that West Queen is a high ranking member of the Immortals and not a young girl. West queen interrupts them, saying that they've had enough small talk, then she apologizes to the Adapter, Ban Chao, Ban Zhao, and Sima Qian. She mentions how their investigation was not a very good one, and that she knows that there is a Dark Immortal hiding inside the Immortals. Sima Qian mentions that the group was wrong to let Hun Dun escape, and that the Eight Immortals helped them clear their criminal records. West queen says that it's a good thing the Immortals used the Elixir of Guanghan Palace, despite being severely injured, the elixir will help them fully recover. West Queen then asks if Zhuang Zi had told them about what happened at the Tripartite System, saying that they were close to apprehending Nan Hua, but were stopped by some unexpected reinforcements. Based off a report from the Quanshen Priests, the unknown figure that assisted Nan Hua may be related to a mysterious cult that has recently emerged, and that the Immortals are overwhelmed with the current situation at TP City. She mentions worriedly that she doesn't know if there are any other moles in the Immortals. Ban Chao mentions that Sima Qian's group was recently wanted by the Immortals, and now they want help from them. Ban Zhao tells Ban Chao not to be so mean. West Queen apologizes, and says that she really hopes that they can help the Immortals out, mentioning that while their arrest warrant has not been removed, she contacted the Guardian's Management System to temporarily void them, so Immortals won't be getting in the groups way. Sima Qian thanks West Queen, and says that she accepts the request. West Queen says that the choices of the Tripartite System will be correct, and hopes that their power protects Sima Qian. This ends the transmission.

Ban Chao says that Sima Qian is too nice, and the Immortals treated them horribly. Sima Qian says that Zhuang Zi told her that the Quanzhen Priests seemed to have investigated them before, so helping them also returns a favor to the Eight Immortals. Ban Chao reluctantly says that returning the favor is the right thing to do. Sima Qian then asks if Mo Zi and Lu Ban can help her analyze her Emperor Armor. She's concerned about the upgrades mentioned by the Tripartite System. Mo Zi says that it will be helpful to figure things out, as it appears the war is only getting worse. Lu Ban is excited for the research task, saying that it's rare for her to analyze something so nice, and she'll do her best. Ban Zhao worriedly tells Lu Ban to be careful, and not to mess with it. Mo Zi comforts Ban Zhao, telling her that Lu Ban won't be able to mess with the armor as long as she's there. Mo Zi then scans Sima Qian.

A few hours later, Bah Zhao asks Mo Zi what the results from the analysis were. Lu Ban says that they mentioned that she has future technology and it's from an ancient civilization, and Ban Chao asks for Lu ban to say something she can actually understand. Mo Zi says that using the armor consumes a large amount of the wearer's data, in Sima Qian's current state, even with auxiliary power, she'd barely be able to use it in it's weakest form. Adding any more power would surely damage Sima Qian's data, this danger is probably what the Tripartite System was referring to. Ban Zhao asks about the upgrade method Mo Zi mentioned. Mo Zi mentions that she's thinking of collecting technology to expand computing performance, mentioning that there is a plug-in kit that can help Sima Qian develop data expansions for herself. She mentions that Lu Ban has mysterious data fragments that might be of use. Ban Chao asks if using those fragments are dangerous. Mo Zi responds that she isn't going to use them like how Ban Gu or Shu E used them, she's going to use the fragments to make developments by drawing them from technology. She adds to it by mentioning that she found proof that the technology has been used before, and Lu ban has been collecting data with her for a long time. She mentions that the enemy likely has more relevant research than she does. Ban Chao excitedly asks if they're going to be eliminating the enemies with their own weapons, and Ban Zhao says that that's called using their own weapons against them. Sima Qian mentions that they are going to have to figure out where they should start the investigation. Ban Chao suggests going back to TP City and looking around, Mo Zi mentions that TP City is now in chaos, and the Immortals have imposed martial law there, operating at TP City would be too difficult. Mo Zi Suggests HK City, as that city is relatively stable. Ban Chao mentions that the epidemic there is very bad, and asks why it's considered stable. Mo Zi says that because the epidemic is bad, research should be much easier, but some intel she received tells her that the cities public order isn't great after the Taotie incident. Ban Zhao asks how they can conduct the investigations, Ban Chao says that the group will need to spy on the enemy and attempt infiltration to get in-depth investigations. She mentions if the enemies are with Nan Hua, they will know about them, cursing at this realization. Sima Qian mentions that she knows someone, but she's not quite sure about them, since the situation is dangerous. Ban Zhao asks if they are thinking about the same person, and a discussion quickly commences.

Sima Qian then tries to make contact with the person, ending Prologue 1.

Prologue 2 begins in the SHU Base of Operations, Zhuge Liang is talking to Liu Bei, congratulating her on how well she's guided the refugees by herself. Liu Bei replies by sarcastically congratulating Zhuge Liang on how well he's house-sitting alone (Referring to Zhuge Liang as A-Liang). Zhuge Liang asks what the current situation at the UW Area is, Liu Bei responds that the area is a complete mess, as it was infected by a severe computer virus. Liu Bei had worked with Zhao Yun and Yueying to rescue a small number of uninfected victims, but the two of them are now attempting to sort out their living situations. Zhuge Liang says that he heard the situation was bad, Liu Bei confirms that it is, saying that Cao Cao suddenly messed things up, then the ZH-Sect showed up shortly after. The ZH-Sect members claimed to be educated in Immortal Medicine, and had cured a few severely infected people, and a lot of people went with these ZH-Sect members. Zhuge Liang wonders if the Immortals taught them about the Immortal Arts, and thinks that they are suspicious. Liu Bei says that Cao Cao seems to know something is off about them, he seemed displeased with them and ignored Liu Bei before attempting to fight them. She mentions that Cao Cao is the only reason that she was able to get away. Zhuge Liang says that he thinks the people are simple, wondering why people were suddenly infected by a severe virus of unknown origin, and the locations to the source of the virus and the ZH-Sect members are quite close. Liu Bei asks if this is all part of the enemies plan, Zhuge Liang says that he can't deny the possibility, Liu Bei then asks what the purpose of them doing this might be. Zhuge Liang says that some Intel shows that they have been moving their base of operations, that they moved from the UW Area to TP City. Liu Bei mentions that she heard the Four Perils were there a couple days ago, and Zhuge Liang confirms this. Liu Bei asks if HK City would fall into the same chaotic state as TP City. Zhuge Liang is impressed, and commends Liu Bei for understanding so quickly. Liu Bei says that Zhuge Liang basically laid out all the info for her, and she must travel to HK City to investigate. Zhuge Liang says he sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to scout ahead. Liu Bei says she'll get ready right now to meet up with them. Zhuge Liang sayshe'll stay at the base in case of an emergency, but he already accounted for funds and equipment needed for the investigation. He mentions that there are instructions on how to use them in an emergency. Liu Bei says that Zhuge Liang is amazing, and she'll be ready right away. Zhuge Liang wishes good luck to Liu Bei, and hopes she'll stop calling her A-Liang. Liu Bei asks why she shouldn't use the nickname, and says she'll talk about it when she gets back, calling her A-Liang one more time before leaving. Zhuge Liang sighs, wishing safe travels for Liu Bei.

The next day in HK City, some thugs are attempting to warn Guan Yu of a computer virus, saying they need to take her to a safe place to scan her. Guan Yu shoos them away, shunning them for their archaic tactics. Zhang Fei also laughs at their old school strategy. The thugs are surprised the two of them shrugged off good intentions, and say they have to teach them some manners. Guan Yu calls them a joke, saying she didn't expect them to use such outdated lines. One thug says that there are a lot of germs here, and he needs to disinfect Guan Yu, before one of the thugs suddenly falls to the ground. Sun Wukong appears, saying that Guan Yu is right. He's surprised that the thug fell, saying that he barely touched the thug. The other thug swears, before Sun Wukong silences him. Sun Wukong says he has no time for games, threatening the thug with his staff, telling the thug to leave with his friend at once. The thug curses again, saying he'll come back before quickly escaping with the other thug. Sun Wukong sighs, saying that even their threats are old-fashioned. He then speaks to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, saying that the two of them makes the location uncomfortable. Guan Yu says that Sun Wukong was the hacker that messed with the Immortals, and to mind his own business, and that she wanted to use the thugs to test her sword. Sun Wukong then realizes that it's Guan Yu, and apologizes for not recognizing her. Guan Yu angerly asks what Sun Wukong just said. Sun Wukong says it's over the time limit, and he highly advises them to leave the area before leaving himself. Guan Yu says that the people here are strange. Zhang Fei agrees with her, saying that she was going to bring out the snakes and make them suffer. The two of them then notice Liu Bei. Guan Yu tells Liu Bei that the ZH-Sect Evangelist Gathering is that way, and Zhang Fei says that everyone there is infected with the virus. Liu Bei says that this situation is too messed up. Guan Yu says that she heard the group is preaching under the slogan of free treatment, and you get free treatment if you join. She asks if the group is really that miraculous. Liu Bei says she saw what the group could do when she helped the Refugees in the UW Area, that they used some runic water and healed someone. Zhang Fei asks if she knows what they are capable of, and Guan Yu asks if it that makes the information security experts obsolete, mentioning that the group clearly don't have a solution for the situation. Liu Bei says that Zhuge Liang and her don't believe the group, and that's why she is there. Liu Bei asks what Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were told. Zhang Fei replies that they were just told to meet up with her and monitor the ZH-Sect. Guan Yu says that they're probably wanted to objectively monitor them, and Liu Bei says they need to get a closer look at them. Guan Yu asks if Liu Bei is serious about sneaking in, Liu Bai says Guan Yu is bright (Calling her Xiao Yu). Guan Yu asks Liu Bei to stop calling her that. Liu Bei asks why not, saying that she thinks the name is adorable. Zhang Fei says she thinks the name is alright. Guan Yu sighs, saying to forget it, she then asks Liu Bei how they are going to sneak in. Liu Bei reveals a special program developed by Yueying, the program replicates the symptoms of the virus. Zhang Fei asks if Liu Bei is sure the plan will work, Guan Yu says there is no need to be afraid. Liu Bei then warns that the program paralyzes the user for one hour after use. Zhang Fei worriedly asks why the group is staring at her, saying she won't use the program. Guan Yu says that she trusts Liu Bei when it comes to fighting, but Zhang Fei is being careless, she then asks what Zhang Fei's name is. Zhang fei answers the question, asking why the question was asked in the first place, Guan Yu says that she's found who the spy is. Zhang Fei asks how this is possible. Guan Yu explains that nobody would sneak into an enemy base saying their actual name. Zhang Fei says that it wasn't fair, and she deserves another shot. Guan Yu denies the request, saying that the enemy will not give her another try. Liu Bei tries to calm Zhang Fei down, Zhang Fei says that Liu Bei better not go back on her promise. Liu Bei asks if she's ever lied to Zhang Fei. Guan Yu says she feels much better with the insurance provided by Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei says that they should go.

They proceed into the ZH-Sect Evangelist Hall. An Emissary is preaching that the Azure sky is gone, and it's time for the Gilded Sky, that scourge will rain down and punish sinners, the only form of repentance is the power of the Gilded Sky. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu enter. Zhang Fei is using the program to replicate the symptoms of the virus, and is acting sick. Liu Bei asks the Emissary to help her sick sister, and Guan Yu tells Zhang Fei to hang in there. Guan Yu and Liu Bei are carrying Zhang Fei on a stretcher and fake-crying. The Emissary says that the sinners must repent for their sins. Liu Bei says that her sister ate someone else's bread a few days ago, Guan Yu says they can't beat the people who have prepped for the disaster. The Emissary says they must repent, dying themselves the colors of the Gilded Sky. Liu Bei says that she will repent and accept the teachings of the Gilded Sky, Guan Yu silently praises Liu Bei for her acting abilities. The Emissary says that the great power of peace for the Gilded Sky will save them from their suffering, and to go cleanse themselves with runic water. The three of them enter into the ZH-Sect Hall. Diaochan is there, preaching for the Gilded Sky, asking the group if they have recognized their sins for being part of the Azure sky's world. Liu Bei says that she does. Guan Yu whispers asking why Diaochan believes this stuff. Liu Bei replies that Diaochan doesn't seem to recognize them, and wonders if it's on purpose. She then assures Guan Yu to act accordingly. Diaochan says that she has been giving divine Great Power from the Gilded Sky, and says the group must have gratitude and repent to heal from the sickness. Liu Bei takes some of the runic water, secretly testing it with some test paper. Liu Bei and Guan Yu are surprised to find out that the water actually contains the virus. Liu Bei warns the group to not drink the water, but Guan Yu mentions that not drinking the water would rat them out as spies. Liu Bei whispers that they have to rid Zhang Fei of the paralysis, and she doesn't have the antidote, and checks how long until it wears out, 20 minutes. She remembers the pouch she was given, that was to be opened when an emergency happens. Liu Bei then opens the pouch, reading the note inside, the pouch contains the antidote.

Diaochan finds that Sinners have not repented, Guan Yu asks if they've been found out. Diaochan calls for the attention of a child, Guan Yu is confused who the child is. Diaochan then gives an order to seize the child. Ning Caichen is grabbed. Diaochan asks if he's the only one, saying they'll offer him then. She searches him, finding a transmitter, she says that all communication is jammed. Liu Bei asks what's going on, Guan Yu says she doesn't know. Zhang fei gets the attention of her sisters, and Liu Bei asks if she's alright. Guan yu asks what they should do, as the kid is in danger. Liu Bei says there's nothing else they can do, as they're bound to get found out anyway. Guan Yu says she's been waiting for Liu Bei to say that. Guan Yu yells at Diaochan, saying that the kid isn't alone. Diaochan is surprised, asking if Ning Caichen has any other friends, and wonders how she's never heard of them before. She asks who the group is. Liu Bei asks if she recognizes them, Guan Yu says that Diaochan dumped Lu Bu and came here, and she's pretending to be stupid. Ning Caichen denies what the group says, before a voice says that they're here to save him. Nie Xiaoqian and Yan Chixia appear, Nie Xiaoqian says that things surely were not going to be smooth, Yan Chixia says that they're just in time to creak havoc and provide cover for the investigation. He mentions that he can't believe Diaochan is preaching here (Referring to Diaochan as a monster). Nie Xiaoqian commends Diaochan as a leader. Diaochan accuses the group to be sinners of the Azure Sky here to disrupt the World of Peace, and that they must show the group that the Azure Sky is gone. An Emissary agrees with Diaochan, saying the sinners will not disrupt the Gilded Sky. Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian are blocked by a wall of believers. Liu Bei is surprised that they weren't the only ones who snuck in. Guan Yu says that even with the extra help, their situation isn't any better. Liu Bei says that she will help them create an opening so they can save Ning Caichen, and says she will find out what Diaochan is all about. Yan Chixia confirms Liu Bei's plan, warning her that Diaochan is a monster that uses dark magic. Diaochan orders the believers to crush the sinners. Zhang Fei says that the worshippers are not ordinary people, they're acting with no regard for their own lives. Guan Yu tells Zhang fei to not be scared, and she will save her. Diaochan says that the group will never defeat those who have the "Great Power" Liu Bei throws the pouch to Zhang Fei, she opens the pouch and is surrounded by a flash of light. Zhang Fei's outfit has changed, and Zhang Fei comments on how embarrassing the outfit is. Guan Yu asks what happened, and Liu Bei says it was the second pouch that Zhuge Liang gave her. Guan Yu tells Zhang Fei that she's wearing the newest combat uniform, and she shouldn't be embarrassed by it. Guan Yu then encourages Zhang Fei to attack the worshippers. Zhang Fei attacks, instantly knocking away the surrounding worshippers, she immediately praises the new equipment. Liu Bei suggests the three sisters team up and attack together.

They start by attacking a group of worshippers who mention worshipping Huang Tian, while attacking, the worshippers praise the "Great Power" saying the group cannot defeat them, Zhang Fei mentions that the group has gone crazy. The worshippers are swiftly defeated.

The group then is met with another group of worshippers, who say the Azure Sky is unforgivable, while attacking the group, they order the group to confess and repent for their sins, and that their souls must be purified. This group is also swiftly defeated.

They then run into a single Preacher, who says that he will rid of the Azure Sky and build Huang Tian. He attacks the group, saying the "Great Power" is with him. He is also defeated.

The group then focuses on Diaochan, who calls herself the Saint of Peace. She attacks the group while trying to convince them to join the Gilded Sky and reject the Azure Sky. Preaching the group the brilliance of Huang Tian. As the fight progresses Diaochan gets progressively more angry, until she is eventually revealed to be Painted Skin in disguise. Painted skin attacks the group with dark magic, giving up her facade of trying to convert them. However, Zhang Fei and the others prevail, defeating Painted Skin.

After the battle, Painted Skin curses, asking what's going on with these people. Zhang Fei mentions that it's her first time seeing real monsters. Liu Bei worriedly wonders what might happen if the Painted Skin disguises as her in the future. Guan Yu tells Liu Bei to not talk about such disturbing things. Yan Chixia bursts in, saying that the worshippers of them have issues, and to stay out of his way. Nie Xiaoqian asks if Ning Caichen is alright, and he responds that he is. Ning Caichen says that Painted skin is alone, and she won't be able to escape. Yan Chixia warns the group to back up, and suddenly a large tree grows in front of them. Hei Shan suddenly appears, saying that Pu Songling sent her to assist Painted Skin, and she is surprised to see new faces (Referring to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei). Guan Yu asks Yan Chixia who this " Aggressive Old Timer" is. Hei Shan responds by threatening Guan Yu. Nie Xiaoqian explains that Hei Shan is quite scary. Yan Chixia laughs, commenting that Nie Xiaoqian actually knows how to trash talk. Painted Skin orders Hei Shan to dispose of the group quickly, as they have an altar opening ceremony later. Liu Bei says that they are going to exorcise some demons before getting attacked by vines. Guan Yu attempts to cut through the vines, but fails to do so, and Zhang Fei discovers that she can't use her powers. The three of them are entangled in the vines. Yan Chixia mentions that Hei Shan specializes in absorbing human essence. Nie Xiaoqian sends out Youyan to attack. Hei Shan tells Nie Xiaoqian to stay out of her way, quicly blocking Youyan with a tree trunk. Hei shan mentions how good Zhang Fei smells, and mentions she's never absorbed such a powerful soul. Qiu Chuji suddenly appears, attacking Hei Shan with Cursed Swords of the Five Thunders. Hei Shan curses at the Taoist as the Vines entangling Liu Bei and the others are cut. Qiu Chuji says she didn't expect to find such a mess in there, then mentions that the ghosts from last time and the demons from TP City are here, and people would assume the demons are just fighting each other for territory. Nie Xiaoqian explains that Painted Skin and Hei Shan are the faces of the ZH-Sect, and Yan Chixia says they were commissioned to investigate the demons, and asks Qiu Chuji to help. Qiu Chuji mentions that the guys on top wanted her to come for support, and that she'll cut down the ghosts. Yan Chixia mentions that his group will take it from here, and Nie Xiaoqian mentions that the Adapter and the others have made it here, and asks for Liu Bei and her group to support them. Guan Yu is surprised to hear about the Adapter and asks if it's the person she's thinking about, and Nie Xiaoqian encourages them to go at once. Liu Bei wonders if they're talking about the adapter that Guan Yu has talked about before, and Guan Yu says that she thinks so, and they should leave the fighting to the exorcist. Liu Bei and the others Run to the interior Altar.

The story is continued in Supreme World Peace.
