A second adaption, told from the perspective of Dān Fěi, and illustrated by Kairi Shimotsuki, was serialized in Akita Shoten's Champion Cross online magazine from September 2016 to February 2017.

While her brother is defeated, Fěi, who possesses the sword's crossguard, escapes and finds herself in the care of the wandering swordsman, Shāng Bù Huàn, and a mysterious man named Lǐn Xuě Yā, who become her protectors from the pursuing Xuán Guǐ Zōng clan.

Bù Huàn reunites with his old partner, Làng Wū Yáo and his talking Pipa Líng Yá, who informs Shāng that Huò Shì Míng Huáng has sent the assassin Xiē Yīng Luò to retrieve the Index.

Lǐn Xuě Yā & Xiào Kuáng Juàn visit the Xiān Zhèn Fortress to speak with Bó Yáng Hóu, who is recovering from the poison applied to him by Xiē Yīng Luò.

Both Xuě Yā and Kuáng Juàn use the information to further incriminate Shāng Bù Huàn, citing he and Xiē are conspiring to steal the magical weapons from the fortress.

The duo successfully defeats the dragon and obtain the horn, but Wū Yáo attacks Xuě Yā shortly after, citing Lǐn as an untrusting individual.

Xiào Kuáng Juàn betrays Xiē Yīng Luò by taking the Night of Mourning for himself after she is defeated by the rejuvenated Shāng Bù Huàn, forcing her to flee.

Learning of this, Yīng Luò gains her resolve and is about to start a new outlook in life when she finds Dì Kōng, now using his given name Lóu Zhèn Jiè, as the new wielder of the Seven Blasphemous Deaths, and becomes his first victim.

Xuě Yā sabotages Kuáng Juàn's smuggling operation by switching the swords to be sold instead at their country of origin, revealing them as stolen goods to buyers and pinning Xiào as the culprit.

Rather than be enraged over the incident, Kuáng Juàn sees it as a relief and abandons the entire operation, opting instead to make a fresh start by creating his own army using the Night of Mourning.

Lóu Zhèn Jiè, having survived his battle with Bù Huàn, wanders within the Void Junction and is separated from the Seven Blasphemous Deaths when he touched a Scrying Mirror.

He explains the consequence would be Yāo Tú Lí rampaging through Dōng Li, as the event that triggered Bù Huàn crossing the Wasteland of Spirits would not occur.

With Xuě Yā and Bù Huàn captured, Xíng Hài plots to lure Dān Fěi to the Void Junction and have a reanimated Cán Yún kill her.

Cán Yún explains in a flashback that he was disguised as Xuě Yā by the latter to avoid detection from their enemies, and is angry he wasn't informed that he would end up under the influence of the Seven Blasphemous Deaths.

When Xíng Hài slips that her sister is of flesh and blood, Xuě Yā ends the ruse and leaves, revealing that Bù Huàn has long been gone from his prison and was communicating remotely.

Dying from his wounds, Jūn Pò asks Xuě Yā to teleport him to the Emperor's chamber in Xī Yōu, while telling his soldiers to accept Dān Fěi's offer to join the Hù Yìn Shī, and bidding Bù Huàn and others farewell.

Lǐn Xuě Yā, disguised as Yì Piāo Miǎo, reports to Huò Shì Míng Huáng about the current status of Shāng Bù Huàn.

Hoping to increase the human force's strength, she decides to embark on an expedition to find a legendary weapon that was lost in the Wasteland of Spirits, which would require Shāng Bù Huàn's help.

Guǐ Duó Tiān Gōng informs Huò Shì Míng Huáng that he wishes to settle an old grudge before permanently departing for the demon realm himself.

Bà Wáng Yù was busy feasting on the inhabitants of the realm, while Huā Wú Zōng brags he knows Huò Shì Míng Huáng's true identity, which piques "Yì Piāo Miǎo"'s interest.

Shāng Bù Huàn, Dān Fěi and Juǎn Cán Yún takes shelter in a crevice from sandstorm, but are attacked by vines, forcing them to retreat.

Bà Wáng Yù launches a direct full frontal assault while Huā Wú Zōng turns invisible and sneaks in amongst the commotion as "Yì Piāo Miǎo" watches.

As Huā Wú Zōng and Bà Wáng Yù collect the seals, Xíng Hài arrives , supposedly under the orders of Huò Shì Míng Huáng, announcing he has disowned them for killing the demon nobles and traps them within a scrying mirror.

He receives word from "Yì Piāo Miǎo" that Cháo Fēng is currently in the demon realm in search of Làng Wū Yáo and orders she be brought back.

In the demon realm, Lǐn Xuě Yā separates Cháo Fēng from her group, and sends her through a portal with the promise that Làng Wū Yáo is on the other end.

As they turn their attention towards the cocoon, Líng Yá, empowered by the demon realm, unleashes his human form (known as Liè Mó Xián) and slaughters the creatures.

Two manga adaptations have been released in Japan, the first one under the same title as the television series, written by Urobuchi and illustrated by Yui Sakuma, which was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Morning magazine from July 21, 2016, to April 6, 2017 and collected into four volumes.

The film is an origin story of the Làng Wū Yáo character from childhood to first joining the travels of Shāng Bù Huàn and takes place before the first season.

The film ends with a brief epilogue by Lǐn Xuě Yā teasing that the fate of Mù Tiān Mìng and why she was not with Shāng Bù Huàn when he arrived in Dōng Li.
