## Chapter Guide

**Finally Know Where to Go** (终于知道该去哪了 *Zhōng Yú Zhī Dào Gāi Qù Nǎ Le*) is the forty-first chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Wuren reminds Li Lingbiao that he needs to hit the burly man hard enough to give him a shock, otherwise Memory Erasing Punch will not work. He then encourages and reassures the student. Mustering up his courage, Li Lingbiao delivers a punch to the man's face, who is completely unfazed by the attack and glares at him. Li asks Wuren to help him since it seems he isn't strong enough, but Wuren flees by pretending he needs to accompany the local finance bureau who were inspecting the school's finances. The muscular man then beats up Li Lingbiao for punching him despite him trying to pass it off as a misunderstanding.

In the Underworld, the Defender of the Left, the Defender of the Right and Yan Wen are left utterly speechless upon seeing that Che Yongtai sold his kidneys. Outraged at the demon lord's lack of dignity, the Defender of the Left sacrifices ten years of his lifespan to communicate with Che Yongtai through his Voice of Dimensions spell.

While relaxing in a bath of ice, Che Yongtai receives Left-hand Man's voice, who reprimands him for neglecting his mission and orders him to head to Xiahou High School. Refusing to listen to him any further, Che Yongtai forcibly ends the spell on his end. The abrupt ending of a spell causes the Defender of the Left to receive backlash, making him spit out blood. The Defender of the Right notes that he lost at least twenty years of his lifespan due to the forced cancellation.

While looking in the mirror, Che Yongtai curses his waist after feeling pain from it, remarking that making money in the human world is not easy. As he puts on his suit, he says that while he does not like taking orders, he will pay Xiahou High School a visit since he does not know where to find the Heaven Crystal.

Limbo Stone

### Effects

Creates a pocket dimension in Limbo with specific rules for entering and exiting

## Debut

### Manga Debut

Chapter 384

Limbo Stones are rare crystals that can only be found in Limbo, a separate space between the Underworld and human world that is impossible for organisms other than Gravekeepers to survive in.

## Description

Limbo Stones create their own dimensions by absorbing the energy of the environment and consciousness of the organisms around it, most of the time being Gravekeepers' since they are the only organisms able to survive in Limbo. The rules and environment within the dimension are decided by the creator's conscious and subconscious, so even if the creator doesn't intentionally create hints for the rules in the dimension, hints will still appear in the dimension. Creating the environment in a dimension with a Limbo Stone takes a lot of time and effort, so only people who have a lot of spare time, enjoy world building and can survive in the Limbo can create Limbo Stones with dimensions.

When created, the pocket dimension is still only survivable for Gravekeepers, unless it is crushed. When crushed, the dimension will become survivable for all organisms but will only last three days. While in the dimension, people who don't meet the entrance requirements will experience effects similar to being in Limbo and almost instantly die. After three days, anyone who is still within the dimension will randomly appear at a random location either in the human world, Underworld or Limbo if they don't meet the exit requirements. If they do meet the requirements, they can choose to travel to either the human world, Underworld or Limbo, though the location they teleport to is still random.

## Known Limbo Stone Dimension Rules

The Limbo Stone dimension used by Shi Ji: Must be biologically under twenty years old to enter. Creatures that weigh more than ten kilograms and are longer/taller than one meter can not enter forests or deep water. A person must kiss someone or be kissed by someone to exit.
Chapter 1

## Chapter Guide

**Origins** (缘起 *Yuán Qǐ*) is the first chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

The chapter begins with an exposition coupled with images of ancient times that describe how humans and demons have lived in harmony due to their opposite routines for thousands of years.

Back to the present day, Huang Xiaoyan stands on the roof of a twenty-story building and remarks how the world has been thrown into chaos as she observes a bustling city at night. She turns away and walks to the center of the roof, using her Astrology Prediction Formation to create the projection of an Eight Trigrams symbol before her. Stepping into the Eight Trigrams, Huang Xiaoyan opens her Heaven Eye to divine the future. Upon divining that the only hope in fixing in the world rests upon "The Star of Hope", who will appear at Xiahou High School, she declares that she will either find them or become the Star herself. Xiaoyan is then surprised by Ye Yan, who is dressed in his "The Lonely Mushroom" costume.

Upon being questioned by Ye Yan, Huang Xiaoyan refuses to reveal her identity and prepares to knock him out with a punch, only to be interrupted by a police officer shouting through a megaphone. A crowd of people and police have gathered on the ground near the building, believing that she was attempting suicide from jumping off the building. Ye Yan mistakenly believes this, and attempts to tackle her to prevent her from jumping as she looked for the stairs. However, while running, he trips on his shoelaces, causing him to accidentally fall and push Huang Xiaoyan off the edge of the roof.

Shi Jianjun

Shi Jianjun was the son of Deng Yuankui's partner in business and friend.

## Background

After Shi Jianjun's father was found guilty of delivering counterfeit materials to Deng Yuankui's company, their cooperation ended and left his company at the brink of bankruptcy. This resulted in Shi Jianjun's hatred towards Deng Yuankui, blaming him for the state of his family, as well as pledging to kill him even if it costs all his savings. Half a year before the current timeline, he became acquainted with Pearl and they started dating.

## Personality

Shi Jianjun appeared to be a friendly and reliable individual, he seems to have taken good care of Pearl and acted innocently enough to hide his true nature from others.

Shi Jianjun was actually really perverse, he blamed Deng Yuankui for the bankruptcy of his family's company despite it being their fault for attempting to sell counterfeit materials, as well as not realizing his error and claiming they only sold him counterfeit materials "one time", not knowing how much lives could have been lost if the transaction succeeded.

## Appearance

Shi Jianjun has short dark green hair and green eyes. Despite his age, he has the appearance of a teenager, this along with his height caused Ye Yan and Che Yongtai to assume he was younger than them when he first appeared. When he first appeared, he was shown wearing a suit. For the rest of the Lovers Party arc he wore a black robe.

## Abilities and Powers

Shi Jianjun is an average human with no supernatural abilities, he possessed a knife which he attempted to use on Deng Yuankui, but it proved to be inefficient since he was thrown through the roof before he could even hurt him.
Chapter 47

## Chapter Guide

**Defeated Just Like That** (就这样被征服 *Jiù Zhè Yàng Bèi Zhēng Fú*) is the forty-seventh chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Xi Sha struggles as she tries to muster up the courage to confess her love for Ye Yan. As she is about to tell Ye Yan however, he is punched in the face and sent flying into the tree. Che Yongtai appears, preparing to rip him to shreds as promised. Demanding to know why the man attacked Ye Yan, Xi Sha grabs his legs and slams him onto the ground. Wondering who pulled him, Che Yongtai turns around. The two then recognize each other, with Che Yongtai questioning her about the disappearance of her horns. Xi Sha then orders the male demon lord to apologize to his "master", much to the latter's confusion and chagrin. A fight then ensues between the two before Che Yongtai pulls out a drumstick from inside his suit, captivating Xi Sha with its smell. While she adamantly expresses her refusal to be subjugated by food, she is still lured away by it when Che Yongtai throws the drumstick far away.

Che Yongtai notes that the chicken can keep Xi Sha occupied for at least two minutes, which is more than enough time for him to teach Ye Yan a lesson. Ye Yan retorts by insulting him as an idiot who would sell his own kidney, and clarifies that he only avoided Che Yongtai because he found him troublesome, not because of fear. As the two men are about to engage in combat, they are punched on the head, knocking both of them out. Huang Xiaoyan stands next to them, warning them that fighting on school grounds is prohibited.

Lady Seashell

## Background

A few years before the start of the story, Lady Seashell was sought out by Ye Lanlan in order to counter Ye Yan's Hundun, and subsequently formed a summoning pact with her.

## Personality

Although Lady Seashell knew Ye Lanlan formed a summoning pact with her solely because of her ability to generate water, which is Hundun's natural weakness, she still supported her and her cause unconditionally, as she sympathised with Ye Lanlan's feelings towards her cousin.

## Appearance

Lady Seashell is a tiny girl with dark green hair, wearing a white dress with blue sleeves and a seashell accessory on the side her head, with a single horn protruding out her forehead. She is always seen sitting in her hovering yellow conch. She also possesses a green conch capable of generating large amounts of water.

## Chapter Guide

**Fusion, Fusion!** (合体, 合体! *Hétǐ, hétǐ!*) is the seventy-fourth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Yue Wushuang explodes in a blast of energy, launching Wuren and Li Lingbiao back. Emerging from the smoke caused by the explosion is the fused form of the Double Devils, whose bones cracked all over as Yue Wuer commented that he felt power surging through their body. Li wonders if he and Wuren will be used as test subjects for the Double Devil's newfound strength as per cliché, much to Wuren's dismay.

Yue Wushuang complains that the fused body is flawed and incomplete since it possesses too much yang energy. She then protests the body's ugly appearance after Wuer brushes aside her complaint and demands that they collect more yin bloodstones so they can transform into a woman, adding on her disgust towards being in a body with a penis. Wuer reluctantly agrees and proceeds to leave. Li Lingbiao vocally expresses his relief at not being used as a target, which Wuer overhears and agrees with, wishing to assess their power. The Double Devil then rush towards Wuren and Li Lingbiao, intending on punching the two to death. The punches cause an explosion of smoke upon impact, and after the smoke clears, it is revealed that the Double Devil's punch shattered a log of wood.

The Double Devil's attention is then drawn by a taunting voice behind him, revealed to be Ye Yan who rescued Wuren and Li Lingbiao.

## Chapter Notes

* Yue Wushuang and Yue Wuer complete their fusion.
* Ye Yan is freed and joins the battle against the Double Devils.
Chapter 25

## Chapter Guide

**Whose Side Are You On!** (你是站哪一边的! *Nǐ Shì Zhàn Nǎ Yī Biān De!*) is the twenty-fifth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

The chapter begins with an exposition of the Star Shattering Iron Gourd's origins. The gourd grew from a calabash vine containing spiritual energy in the Zhaoyao Mountain's Lingyun Cave. After a thousand years of absorbing the light of the stars and moon and condensing the energy from the mountain's ores into itself, the gourd was able to refine itself into the Iron Gourd. As the Star Shattering Iron Gourd, the damage it could do upon coming in contact with a normal person's body ranges from breaking bones and tearing nerves to complete pulverization.

Back to the present, Gu Xiaohua reveals that she only used thirty percent of the gourd's power to attack Wuren, and that she is attacking Ye Yan with its full power. As the gourd seemingly hits Ye Yan, its impact kicks up a dense cloud of dust and debris. Believing that she used too much strength and pulverized Ye Yan into powder, Gu Xiaohua snidely remarks that she thought a Nightwatcher's bones would be tougher.

However, as the dust disperses, Gu Xiaohua discovers that Ye Yan successfully blocked the Iron Gourd by summoning Hundun, which trapped the gourd by compressing and withdrawing its hide around it. Hundun then launches the gourd back at Gu Xiaohua, hitting her in the head after deflecting off a nearby building's concrete wall, which it breaks. Wuren comments on how Hundun owes its durability to its tough skin and thick fat, causing the Ancient Beast to kick him since it hates being called fat.

Sitting on top of Hundun, Ye Yan lists Gu Xiaohua's crimes and tells her to surrender or face death. She attempts to attack him with zombie gas again and summons two zombies, but they are promptly stomped to death by Hundun. As the Untitled Sage tries to escape, Hundun plows through several buildings while giving chase. Seeing this, Wuren fruitlessly warns them to not destroy city property since the school has to pay for reconstruction and they are already on a tight budget. As he is chasing Gu Xiaohua, Ye Yan notes that Hundun is shrinking due almost reaching the time limit for the day. Hoping to end the battle as soon as possible, he calls out to Gu Xiaohua that he is willing to let her live if she surrenders. He then spots Huang Xiaoyan standing on top of a nearby building and asks her to stop the girl. However, she instead kicks him in the face, causing him to fall off Hundun.

## Chapter Guide

**Are My Teammates Stupid?** (是不是猪队友? *Shì Bù Shì Zhū Duì Yǒu?*) is the twenty-eighth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

While relaxing in a flower petal bath, Yan Wen notices something outside of the window to her bathroom and remarks it as a rare sight to see. At the same time, while tinkering with a voodoo doll in his office, Wang Shengli also notices something outside of his window and takes a look, realizing in shock that someone has invoked a natural cataclysm. Dark thunderclouds are forming in the sky, with the center of the storm giving way to a cluster of lightning bolts emitting bright light.

Meanwhile, below the eye of the storm, Huang Xiaoyan's blood takes the shape of a giant command tag as light around her flies into the storm's eye. While Ye Yan exclaims in shock about the spectacle that the spell is creating, Wuren explains that Huang Xiaoyan is preparing to use the Five Thunder Heaven Execution to strike Gu Xiaohua with lightning, stating that not even the enhanced durability provided by the Gigantification Spell could save her from being reduced to ashes by the divine smite.

As Gu Xiaohua struggles to break free from the Million Seal Giant Binding Formation, Wuren notes that Huang Xiaoyan does not have it easy either since performing the spell is clearly beyond her limits. Due to the imminent convergence of the electric currents, if she were to be even slightly distracted while concentrating on the spell, the backlash of magic power could cause her body to explode and lead to her death.

Just then, Gu Xiaohua breaks the chain of talismans on her right arm and subsequently her left. As she tries to snap the chain on her right leg, Ye Yan begins to panic as the lightning still isn't coming down while the Untitled Sage's restraints are almost all broken. He then notices that Huang Xiaoyan is bleeding from her mouth. Refusing to idle, Ye Yan takes out a roll of tape and sticks his Soul Gang back together before striking it with his Soul Mallet, managing to paralyze Gu Xiaohua.

Huang Xiaoyan reprimands for him interfering while Ye Yan tells her that he wanted to buy a bit more time. However, as a result of breaking her concentration and halting the casting of the spell, Huang Xiaoyan receives the backlash of her magic power and spits out blood, with Ye Yan shouting out her name in shock.

Defender of the Left

## the Defender of the Left

The **Defender of the Left** is a demon in service of Yan Wen. While it is not clear what his job entails, it appears to involve some sort of administrative and military duties. His actual name is currently unknown.

## Background

The Defender of the Left is presumably born more than ten thousand years before the current timeline, and has assisted Yan Sis along with Right-hand man for a very long time. For unknown reasons, he lost all the flesh and skin on his limbs, with only his face retaining the orange skin shared by all demons.

## Personality

A notable trait of the Defender of the Left is his pedophilic nature, as shown when he blushed while commenting on Xi Sha's prepubescent appearance, and when he attempted to accompany Xi Sha to the human world.

## Appearance

The Defender of the Left is always seen wearing a black cloak that covers up his entire body. As a demon, he possesses orange skin, and has been shown to possess skeletal limbs. It is unknown whether his torso retains flesh and skin or not. During his infiltration in the human world, he wore a black hoodie and black pants, as well as wrapped his entire body in bandages except for his eyes, which he covered up with a pair of shades.

## Abilities and Powers

The Defender of the Left seems to possess no combat abilities. However, he does possess abilities to observe locations that transcend dimensional boundaries, making him great for observation and reconnaissance purposes.

### the Defender of the Left's techniques

* **Eye of Dimensions** (异界之眼): The Defender of the Left is able to create portals that allow him to observe other dimensions. He used this technique to observe Che Yongtai and Xi Sha while they were in the human world, as well as observe Ye Yan and Che Yongtai during their duel with Deng Yuankui and An Ningxue in a separate dimension. This technique takes up a lot of energy and concentration if it transcends dimensional planes, as the Defender of the Left was only able to keep it up for a few seconds when observing the human world from the Underworld, while he was able to keep it up for a relatively long time while observing the duel.
* **Voice of Dimensions** (隔界传音): The Defender of the Left is able to speak to an individual of his choice in a different dimension through the use of this technique, but at the cost of ten years worth of his lifespan. If the line of communication is forcibly interrupted by the receiver, it will double the cost, making him lose twenty years of his lifespan as well as severely internally injure him.
Cang Shui

Cang Shui in his human form wearing a face mask

Cang Shui was the bodyguard of Pu Wenshan and a wolf monster. He was also one of the Nine Wolves in the Northern Wolf Tribe and the older brother of Cang Ri.

## Background

Cang Shui was born as a wolf monster in the Northern Wolf Tribe, and he was one of the nine strongest wolves. Many years ago, he disguised himself as a human and joined the Kurokuchi Gang so he can witness more bloodshed. He secretly poisoned Pu Wenshan's medicine for two years so he can eventually take over his position and become the leader of the Kurokuchi Gang.

## Personality

Cang Shui was a really violent monster. Pu Wenshan stated that most of the peaceful negotiations between other gangs always became violent bloodsheds when Cang Shui was involved.

When facing real danger, Cang Shui was shown to be cowardly, as he immediately started apologising for revealing his true form and attacking humans when Huang Xiaoyan showed up, this however didn't prevent him from meeting his demise.

## Appearance

In his human disguise, Cang Shui appeared to be a tall man with black, slick back hair and black eyes. He also has sharp teeth.

In his wolf form, Cang Shui's skin turned grey and spikes sprouted out of his forehead and along his arms. Grey fur also covered his upper body and his face became wolf-like.

## Abilities and Powers

In his wolf form, Cang Shui's spikes can act as a defensive and offensive trait that he can use to stab people with. His stamina is ten times greater than a human's, and when he sees blood his strength drastically increase. His claws are also sharp enough to easily cleave through human flesh.

### Northern Wolf Tribe exclusive techniques

* **Transformation:** Cang Shui can transform himself into his human form or wolf form whenever he wants. This is a technique exclusive to his species, therefore things such as God Restraining Cages won't disable it. He can also purposely make normal people see his wolf form if he wishes to, otherwise people will only see his human form's naked body.
* **Enhanced Stamina Regeneration:** Due to being a wolf monster, Cang Shui has ten times greater stamina than a human's and recovers it ten times faster.
* **Strength Augmentation:** Due to being a wolf monster, Cang Shui's strength will increase drastically after seeing blood.

## Summary

Ye Yan throws a coconut at Che Yongtai while shouting for him to "have a taste of his own medicine". Due to his fast reflexes, Che Yongtai dodges the coconut. As he ridicules Ye Yan for attempting to hit him, Che suddenly realizes that since he dodged the coconut, it would hit Huang Xiaoyan who he was holding. Indeed, with a coconut in her face, Huang lies unconscious on the sand. While Che begs for her to wake up and see him, the murderer wakes up and explains that she would have woken up within one minute at most after being knocked out by his Lustful Eye. However, since she is now knocked out by something else, she would remain unconscious for an indeterminate amount of time. Che Yongtai and the man quickly blame Ye Yan for this and immediately beat him up.

Some time later, Ye Yan is beaten unconscious and trapped under a tree. The man thanks Che Yongtai for his cooperation. However, knowing that the man is responsible for Huang's situation in the first place, Che Yongtai attacks him as well. His attacks grow faster due to his increasing rage, and the demon lord eventually rips off the man's left arm. Fleeing in fear while lamenting that he encountered another person capable of mutilation, the man regenerates his lost arm. Noting his regeneration ability, Che swears to shred him to pieces as the pair run from the scene.

Meanwhile at the temporary emergency room, Wuren watches as Ximen Chicken continues to draw on the floor. Near the original "C", it drew a flipped "C", then the gender symbols for female and male under each "C" respectively, and finally two left right arrows that connect the Cs and gender symbols. Wuren wonders what the drawing means.

## Chapter Notes

* Huang Xiaoyan is knocked unconscious again by a thrown coconut.
* Ye Yan is incapacitated.

## Chapter Guide

**The Human World, I'm Here!** (人间, 大小姐来了! *Rén Jiān, Dà Xiǎo Jiě Lái Le!*) is the forty-fourth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

The Defender of the Left and the Defender of the Right detail Che Yongtai's endeavors for the past three days, noting that he cosplayed as a white rabbit at a metro station and was struck by a train on the first day, was comatose in a hospital for the second day, and delivered righteous justice after being discharged on the third day. The two demons angrily rant out loud at Che Yongtai for being a disgrace, especially for a demon lord who can destroy worlds. As three days have passed, Yan Wen is able to recreate the portal to the human world, and orders Xi Sha to be released from the Blood Pool and readied for her test.

Three incredibly handsome men stand before Xi Sha, who is oblivious to their beauty. Concluding that Xi Sha is not reacting abnormally after viewing several gorgeous men, Yan Wen is satisfied with the results. Xi Sha then degrades her "servant" for being useless and needing assistance from her, while the Defender of the Right speculates that the demon lord has not reached puberty yet and therefore has no attraction to the opposite sex. The Defender of the Left expresses his concerns that Xi Sha's gluttony might be a problem, with the demon lord retorting that if she ate all the guardians, they would acquire the Heaven Crystal without a doubt. Yan Wen agrees with this sentiment, stating that if she were to eat the guardians, it would be a tremendous increase in prestige for the Underworld. She then tasks Xi Sha with the mission of retrieving the Heaven Crystal and not tarnish the Underworld's reputation. As Xi Sha leaves through the portal, the Defender of the Left expresses his worries and tries to follow her. As he steps through the portal with his right leg however, the portal suddenly disappears along with half of the lower half of his right leg, much to the demon's horror. Initially surprised, Yan Wen then realizes what happened.

In the human world, Xi Sha is seen chewing on something as she walks through the streets. The Defender of the Right expresses his anger that Xi Sha ate the portal again from the other side, the Defender of the Left laments the state of his leg, and Yan Wen assures them that she already arranged an aide to meet up with Xi Sha the human world immediately after fixing the portal.

## Chapter Guide

**Do You Want to Touch My Pecs?** (哥练的胸肌你也想摸? *Gē Liàn De Xiōng Jī Nǐ Yě Xiǎng Mō?*) is the six hundred and twenty-second chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Qinglian rushes towards Gu Xiaohua as she prepares to kill her. She suddenly stops after noticing someone approaching them. The two Untitled Sages simultaneously realize that the man approaching is Ximen Guanren. When asked by Ximen, Qinglian explains that the two are discussing Untitled Sage affairs, further explaining that side sanctums were forbidden from participating in the upcoming test. Gu Xiaohua sharply refutes this claim, citing that the letter said all Untitled Sages were allowed to enter. Still troubled by the cultivation companion issue, Ximen leaves and allows the two to continue. Qinglian thanks Ximen for understanding the situation, slightly irking him when she refers to Gu Xiaohua as a "lowly branch Untitled Sage".

Qinglian rapidly approaches Gu with **Lingbo Lotus Footwork** before using **Seven Stars Nerve Attack**, striking her pressure points and immobilizing her as a result. Unable to summon her zombies, Gu is left as Qinglian's mercy as the latter strikes her with **Taiji: Five Viscera Rebellion**, severely damaging her and causing her to spit out blood. Qinglian spares her life due to Ximen's presence before warning her against participating in the Untitled Sage test. The main sanctum Untitled Sage then apologises to the Gravekeeper for the unsightly display, causing Gu to mock her self-abasement and insinuate that the reason she is gatekeeping is because she fears embarrassing herself for being unable to find a cultivation companion due to her unattractiveness. Flushed with anger, Qinglian attempts to kill Gu Xiaohua and strikes at her with Five Viscera Rebellion again.

Before the palm strike could connect, Ximen interposes himself between the two Untitled Sages, causing Qinglian's hand to hit his chest. She questions the student council president's intentions, but before he can answer her, Ximen vomits blood into Qinglian's face due to the attack. After a brief disgusted reaction to the blood, Qinglian wipes off the blood and uses the **Changing Spell** to change her clothes. She then questions Ximen for his interference, and Ximen responds by lying that he is Gu Xiaohua's cultivation companion for the test. Furious, Qinglian swiftly departs while declaring that Ximen will regret his decision for offending an Untitled Sage main sanctum.

Gu thanks Ximen for rescuing her, although he insists it is because he detests Qinglian's classist attitude. Nonetheless, he agrees to become Gu's cultivation companion, much to the latter's joy. Irritated by Gu's attempts at intimacy, Ximen warns her to conduct herself well as he is not above breaking up their team if she were to cause trouble during the competition before leaving.

## Chapter Notes

* Ximen Guanren becomes Gu Xiaohua's cultivation companion.

## Chapter Guide

**It Really Is a Zombie!** (还真是僵尸啊! *Hái Zhēn Shi Jiāng Shī A!*) is the twentieth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

A dazed Ye Yan remembers a discussion Wuren had with him and Huang Xiaoyan when they reported for duty.

In the flashback, Wuren tells the two that the president of the student council is currently not at school. He then notes that the president is an officer of the Department of Night, and that even Wang Shengli, the principal of the school, must listen to him when deciding whether the two guardians are allowed to stay in the Department. He mentions that the president is a sensitive person, and warns Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan to choose their words wisely when talking to him if they want to leave a good impression.

Back to the present, Wuren reveals to Ye Yan that the person he just attacked is the president. Ximen Guanren gets Ye Yan's attention and tells him to not let the white-haired girl get away, who is revealed to be a zombie in disguise. The zombie girl then runs away upon being discovered. Realizing that the girl was the murderer all along, Ye Yan prepares to chase her down with Hundun, but Wuren tells him to withdraw Hundun to avoid damaging the city's infrastructure. As the zombie girl jumps up a building and is about to flee, three of Ye Yan's Flag Demons intercept her and kick her down, causing her to crash into a building, much to Wuren's chagrin. As the three prepare to capture her, the zombie releases a cloud of zombie gas, incapacitating them. Wuren asks why the Flag Demons are being affected if they can turn into gas, with Ye Yan explaining that that is precisely the reason why they are affected more severely. As the cloud of zombie gas approaches them, Ye Yan notices a crowd of onlookers gathering near them.

## Summary

Pang Dali is seen kneeling against a wall. Shivering in fear, he states how he would have been obliterated by Huang Xiaoyan for transforming into his true form, and expresses relief that he was able to survive. As he turns to leave the city, Huang Xiaoyan appears before him and interrogates him for Ye Yan's name. Upon learning of Ye Yan's name, she summons her Universal Miracle Gourd through the Gourd Child accessorized on her hair. Pang Dali mentally exposits the origins of the gourd and states that it is a legendary artifact that could defeat true sages. Huang Xiaoyan then jumps and hovers in the air before shouting out Ye Yan's name with the Thousand Ri Shout technique.

Ye Yan, who was busy cleaning himself and running away hears the shout. Mistaking Huang Xiaoyan's voice to be a loud broadcast, Ye Yan responds, causing him to shrink and fly into the gourd. Huang Xiaoyan promptly seals the gourd's opening after he was sucked into it. Seeing this, Pang Dali exposits the deadly capabilities of the Universal Miracle Gourd and takes the opportunity to sneak away.

Xinghuo

**Xinghuo** (『星火』 *Xīnghuǒ*)， also known as **Xinghuo Zhenren** (『星火真人』 *Xīnghuǒ zhēnrén*) is an Untitled Sage from the Myriad Stars Peak main Sage Sanctum.

## Background

Xinghuo is an Untitled Sage born and raised in the Myriad Stars Peak main sanctum. She apprenticed under Grand Master Qingdeng, becoming a junior to Wenjian Xian and senior to Huamu Xian.

Chivalry Hall

Bai Ning and his subordinates

The Chivalry Hall is a mafia gang that is considered one of the "Tyrant Trio" in Dong Guan, the other two gangs that make up the alliance are the Kurokuchi Gang and the Hong Group.

## Background

A decade ago, three powerful criminal organizations rose to power in Dong Guan, a city within Bozhou that has a history for its poor public security. The three gangs formed an alliance and conquered all of Dong Guan, either by defeating smaller gangs or absorbing them into their own gangs. These three syndicates eventually became known as the "Tyrant Trio" due to their power and formed an alliance with each other. The leader of the alliance back then was the fifth leader of Chivalry Hall, who possessed the treasure known as the "Heart of Dong Guan" and took it with him when he escaped to Japan to avoid arrest by Chinese authorities. Ten years later, before the start of the Dong Guan arc, Bai Ning, the grandson of the fifth leader of Chivalry Hall, was ordered by his grandfather to bring the "Heart of Dong Guan” back to China and give it to Pu Wenshan, the second Boss of the Kurokuchi Gang.

## Overview

### Structure

Not much is known about Chivalry Hall's organizational structure. Other than the leader position, there seems to be a ranking system for the rest of the members, though Wu Sis is the only known ranked member since she is the friend of the fifth leader.

### Rules

Being the creator of it, Chivalry Hall also follows the rules of the Gang Brotherhood Gamble (帮派兄弟局), an improved version of the Life and Death Gamble (生死局), the latter which settles personal conflicts through a fight to the death. When a gang proposes a Gang Brotherhood Gamble to settle a conflict with another gang, the two leaders of each gang must duel each other alone. The winner's gang will become the "senior gang" (大哥帮), while the loser's gang will become the "junior gang" (小弟帮). As punishment, the junior gang is required to: bow to a senior gang member when one is present, unconditionally obey all the senior gang's orders, and pay tribute in the form of money to the senior gang on holidays, for an entire year. However, the Gang Brotherhood Gamble variation Gang Warfare Gamble (帮派团战) allows the junior gang to nullify the punishment if they win through a gang war that involves their entire gang, instead of the original duel between leaders.
