In this chapter, we learn that Senior Xiao is using his essence fire to suppress an energy in his body, but it's getting into his body. He's afraid that this energy is going to get into his soul, and he's going to kill him. He tells the teacher that he'll kill him if he dares, and they're going to fight again. He also tells the young man that he knows the leader and deputy of the branch that's in the central plains are elders, and that they could be even stronger than they are. He promises to send people into the dark city to find out about their opponents strength, and to make covert contact with his assistants. He says that if he were to die inside, he'd only be able to get stronger by fighting real challenges, and if he got into trouble, he would crush the star jade and know what to do.
