## Significant events

* Wang Tengfei, who had been preparing for years and paying an enormous amount of treasure, assembles his followers in preparation for the acquisition of the Demonic Python's demonic core. At least, that's how it appears to the others. In truth however, Wang Tengfei is secretly trying to obtain the Flying Rain-Dragon's legacy that is rightfully his left on Reliance Sect's Black Mountain.
* Meng Hao, who hasn't left the Black Mountain after having swallowed the Dry Spirit Pill, successfully reaches the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
* Meng Hao accidentally witnesses Wang Tengfei, Shangguan Xiu and a few others battling against the weakened Demonic Python. Remembering the ancient sword stuck in the demonic beast's back, he rushes in and snatches the flying sword, quickly fleeing to a nearby cave for safety. Upon entering, he sees the corpse of a demonic beast which the Demonic Python emerged from. He grabs the beast's demonic core and finds a golden bag of holding beside a skeleton lying beneath the ancient demonic beast.
