On the first day of the chaotic Combat of Immortals at the bottom of Star Valley, Qiao Ruohe instructed Tiger Half-Immortal, Bai Susu, and the others to avoid battle as much as possible to conserve their spiritual power. Though he was desperate to find the four cultivators who had captured Little Immortal Yang, the fray had already begun, and he had no choice but to conceal his sword and hide, waiting for the chaos to subside before making his next move.
On the second day, he directed everyone to continue playing dead. During this time, he spotted the four cultivators. Just as he had surmised, they were also avoiding the center of the conflict, hiding in a corner near the mountain walls; whenever anyone dared to challenge their territory, they would strike to drive the intruders back.
With this clue, a weight was lifted from Qiao Ruohe’s heart. He remained in place, concealed, keeping his eyes locked on the four while signaling the half-demons on how to maintain their ruse. His newly accepted disciples, Liu Dali and Yuan Xiaoqi, were unable to conceal themselves and were forced to fight tooth and nail, relying on their transformation abilities to survive until the end.
