Fighting Madness.

Summary

Wang Chong confronts Ba Si, a wolf demon, over a valuable item, asserting his identity as a hired employee rather than a slave. Ba Si initially attempts to intimidate him but is deterred by Wang Chong's calm demeanor and reasoning about the consequences of violence in their environment. Realizing the risks of attacking Wang Chong, Ba Si shifts to a negotiation for the item, ultimately agreeing to trade it for Caroline's freedom. After a tense exchange, Caroline is freed and expresses gratitude to Wang Chong, who downplays his actions as merely doing what anyone would do. As Caroline prepares to leave for District 101 to reunite with friends, she acknowledges her feelings of inferiority and pride, asking Wang Chong to ignore her if they meet again. Meanwhile, Mu Zi, a disciple of the Netherworld Sect, wakes from a recurring dream and reflects on his attachment to a lifeless coffin symbolizing his past. He navigates his new life in the Divine Realm, participating in sect tasks that involve salvaging Aoi stones from the perilous River of Souls, while facing the disdain of his peers.
