Story context

Get ready, fellow Daoists, because Chapter 622 kicks off with a brutal, visceral ambush and delivers a huge lore bomb about the **Fa Sect** (法教). Li Huowang’s crew clashes with a new wave of fanatical enemies who wear white headbands and don’t stop coming, even when their organs start falling out. It’s a classic *Dao Gui Yi Xian* scene: bloody, tactical, and deeply unsettling. But after the slaughter, the chapter pulls back to reveal the big picture—a conversation between two sinister “Wu Ministers” that sets up a major new arc. We get a clear look at the Fa Sect’s strategy, their connection to the terrifying Child-God **Yuer Shen**, and their plan to use the red-robed Daoist’s bone sword. The chapter is a perfect mix of action and world-building, advancing both Li Huowang’s immediate quest and the broader cosmic horror plot.

Why it matters

This chapter is a major setup for the next arc. Pay close attention to the conversation between He Xinlai and Taishan Shi—it’s a rare moment where the villains lay out their strategy without any deception. The Fa Sect’s plan is simple: infiltrate, absorb, and conquer. They are not a mindless horde but a disciplined secret society with a clear, long-term goal.
