It was a light so immense it covered every Inch of the armory, and every lost their sight temporarily. All they could see was white. Xie Lian, however was prepared, and could see with some difficulty. His right hand gathered all of his powers he borrowed from Shi Qingxuan and created a giant flame and blazed it towards a random direction. A corner of the armory immediately caught on fire. Soon after, Xie Lian released Rouye, and wrapped himself, Shi Qingxuan, Ming Yi, Lan Ying. He shouted "Lord Wind Master, blow us upwards!" Even though Shi Qingxuan couldn't even his eyes, he still followed Xie Lian's direction. He raised his fan and snapped downwards, and a violent twister from flat ground, blowing towards the ceiling and, at last, breaking through the shaky roof! Rouye had the five in a bundle and flew towards the sky. In midair, sight finally returns to any of them and Shi Qingxuan could see down below them giant flames ablaze, black smoke heavy in the air, the armory was burning. He was afraid Hua Cheng would give chase and flapped his fan. Now it really became "fanning the flame" and the blaze instantly erupted in size and kindles landed on all the nearby buildings. Now over half of paradise manor was ablaze! With great difficulty, Xie Lian finally grabbed hold of Shi Qingxuan who was fanning with his might. "Lord Wind Master, please stop fanning! The whole place is going to burn down!" Startled, Shi Qingxuan cried, "Alright, alright I'm stopping. Let me go, Your highness your grip is too strong!" It wasn't until the Wind Master stopped his winds that Xie Lian let go. He looked down and amidst the red flames. Xie Lian was still able to spot a crimson silhouette. They were too high in the sky and couldn't see clearly, but his gut instinct told him that in that moment in time, Hua Cheng was standing watching him. He didn't give chase and didn't put out the flames. He only stood there, letting the wildfires devour capriciously. Xie Lian couldn't breathe and his voice cracked, mumbled to himself, "I...only wanted to start a small fire to create a distraction, how did it all turn out like this..."

second batch of screenshots read:

The group ran like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, arrived at the Xianle Summit. On top of Mount Taicang heavy, thick smoke emerged from countless temples across in numerous peaks, and rolled over to from an enormous swirl above the Xianle Pavillion.

Xie Lian shook his head, not wanting to explain, and instead asked Feng Xin, "What did he do to attract all the resentful spirits of the black pagodas? One of Feng Xin's arms was still in a sling, and he rose to his feet. "I don't know what he did! But once we entered the pavilion, all those back things suddenly flew over from all the peaks and broke in, swarming around him, gathering more by the minute, and we couldn't get out." Xie Lian looked around the Pavillion. "Then what's with the fire?" Mu Qing, whose face was covered in soot, said, "we couldn't leave so we had to draw an array to defend. Those resentful spirits kindled the candlelight and burnt the curtains hoping to force us out.
