The Yao family hunt is the arc the Renegade Immortal donghua is airing now (roughly episodes 160–165). Wang Lin returns to the Luo Tian star domain under the false name Xu Mu, and the entire Yao family – a great clan that cultivates the blood dao – puts a bounty on his head across the domain. Here is why, who is chasing him, and how he turns the tables.
⚠️ Spoiler warning: the last section mentions novel events ahead of the donghua.
“The Heavenly Dome Order is issued” – the Yao family bounty spreads across the star domain
The feud is old: the family patriarch, the Blood Divine Son, once nearly killed Wang Lin. When Wang Lin returns to Luo Tian, the Yao family sees him as a threat to be wiped out. His reputation as the “Demon Daoist” and the treasures he carries also make him a fat target for anyone who wants the family’s favour.
What is the Heavenly Dome Order?
The Heavenly Dome Order (天穹令) is a bounty the Yao family issues across Luo Tian. Once it is out, cultivators everywhere can attack the target for the reward – so Wang Lin faces not only the Yao family but countless bounty hunters. The donghua shows it as red beams spreading across the planets: nowhere is safe.

The main hunters
Yao Changdong: a direct third-generation heir at early Nirvana Scryer whose dao insight, “Glory”, is built on the prestige of his ancestors; he wields a nineteen-sword formation and carries protective treasures from the patriarch.
Yao Bingyun, the Cold Phoenix: extremely fast thanks to Shrinking the Earth – with motives more complex than family orders.
Bounty hunters: most famously the battle on the Xuan Chen star, where around 28 cultivators surround Wang Lin.

How Wang Lin strikes back
Breaking Yao Changdong (episode 163): Wang Lin attacks the root of the “Glory” insight with his karma dao insight and shatters Yao Changdong’s dao heart; the body is swallowed by the Divine Shooting Chariot and the soul trapped in his Soul Flag.
Driving off the Cold Phoenix: the Nine Extremes Soul-Damaging Formation leaves Yao Bingyun badly injured.
Wang Yue’s wrath (episode 165): chased relentlessly, he turns the rage of the creature Wang Yue against his pursuers.
In the novel: the hunted becomes the hunter – the Blood Divine Son himself ends up fleeing and is destroyed by Wang Lin.
