Story context

We’re back in the aftermath, fellow Daoists—and the bill has come due. Chapter 294 opens with Gouwa’s grubby little hustle (haggling for a coffin he no longer needs) before dropping us straight into Li Huowang’s shattered bedside. Our boy survived the Zuowandao showdown, but the price tag keeps growing: Chun Xiaoman aged years from summoning Wandering Lords, the group is jumpy, and Li Huowang’s head is a haunted house he can’t evict. The chapter’s real meat? That gnawing, inescapable question: *Was the double-pupiled liar really lying about everything, or is there a pattern he can’t explain?* And then—because this novel hates letting us breathe—his hallucinations physically manifest inside his throat. Get ready for a quiet, vicious little chapter about what happens after the battle ends.

Why it matters

This chapter does something *Dao Gui Yi Xian* does brilliantly: it turns the post-battle lull into a psychological pressure cooker. There’s no new monster, no chase scene. Just Li Huowang’s broken body and his broken brain arguing over what’s real. Pay close attention to the hallucination lineup—it’s getting *crowded* in there. The faceless Zuowandao means this liar left a deeper scar than the ones before, and that open skull-grin is going to haunt you.
