Story context
Drop the mic, folks—this is the chapter where Snowdragon Mountain gets absolutely folded. From Ji Ning and Yuchi Xiyue’s quiet banquet with Black-White College friends to the sky above Anchan Commandery turning golden with divine dragons of annihilation, this chapter is a stone-cold delivery of cosmic-scale vengeance. The nine squads of Gold-ranked Imperial Guards (each a Loose Immortal + 49 Primal Daoists) roll up to a sect that has never even seen an Earth Immortal and just… delete it from the map. Mountains become lakes. Peaks become plateaus. And the mastermind, Dong Qi, gets dragged back to the capital with his Zifu already shattered. No trial. No debate. Just a sovereign power flexing its muscles with surgical precision. It’s brutal, it’s beautiful, and it’s one of those rare chapters where the reader gets to lean back and enjoy the fruits of a revenge plan executed with imperial efficiency.
Why it matters
This chapter is a textbook example of the **“power flex revenge”** trope at its most cathartic. If you’ve been following the Dong Qi storyline and the slow burn of Ji Ning and Yuchi Xiyue’s grief, this is your payoff. The chapter deliberately keeps the perspective tight—we don’t see the dragon strikes from ground level until the end; instead, we watch through the cold, professional eyes of the imperial captains and the dawning horror of the Snowdragon Daoists. The contrast between the quiet banquet at Prince Yan’s estate and the continent-shaping disaster in Anchan is what makes the reading experience sing. One last thing: Dong Qi is alive, captured, and helpless. The real trial hasn’t happened yet. *That’s* what we’re waiting for.
