Yu Rongling saves Lin Batian from a black-robed attacker, who flees. The next day, it's revealed the attacker resembles Su Chongwen, the Young Madam's deceased father. Lin Batian is taken away by Chang Hao to avoid further questions, while Yu Rongling and others are disturbed by the uncanny resemblance.

Qing Shen rubbed his chin and said, "I remember the Young Madam mentioned that Su Chongwen’s corpse was placed at the root system of the Vine Demon, nourishing it for nearly twenty years. That Vine Demon carries spores, might it be able to reproduce multiple corpses?"

"Ah, this... wouldn’t that be just like Piao Changji?" Yu Rongling exclaimed in shock, then couldn’t help but glance at Qing Li, "Will sister-in-law and Dumpling face danger down the mountain? Yin Corpse Evil Technique gains power by consuming close relatives, and since he’s so weak, his urgency will be greater."

"With your brother and Wanwan’s strength, Su Chongwen wouldn’t dare to provoke them." Qing Li affirmed decisively, "They’re going to the Arbitration Council, won’t be disturbed by Su Chongwen. I suspect... Su Chongwen’s target might be."

"It couldn’t be the Little Witch, could it? That damned scoundrel, is he really going to devour his own granddaughter?" Yu Rongling said, flaring up.

Qing Shen sighed, "How did the Young Madam end up with such a father?"

"I fear Su Chongwen has calculated my time is coming to an end and chose a moment when Shenghui is absent to make his move." Qing Li said in a hopeless tone, his expression extremely cold.

Yu Rongling was so frightened his heart nearly stopped beating, he hurriedly inquired about what critical time had come for his mother.

Upon hearing, he learned that Qing Li, as an ordinary mortal, was completely exhausted after going through so much.

Now it’s either reincarnation or to refine a Three Corpse God and be reborn.

Qing Li chose to refine the Three Corpse God, and at this critical moment, he can’t easily use Spiritual Power, let alone engage in combat.

If mishandled, he would vanish without a chance to reincarnate.

"How could it be like this, Madam must remain calm." Qing Shen grasped Qing Li’s hand tightly, especially worried that Qing Li would lose composure, "If things get really bad, summon the young master back."

"Let’s have Grandpa Snake deliver the message, I’ll stay here to protect everyone." Yu Rongling said resolutely, showing his biceps to his mother and sweetheart, "I’m now the pillar of the family, trust me, I can protect Lin Batian and everyone else."

Qing Shen was momentarily stunned, rarely seeing Yu Rongling so responsible.

"It’s merely a Yin Corpse, yet spoken of so valiantly." Qing Li waved his hand, "You all go now, I trust you can handle Su Chongwen before Yu Longting and Su Wan return."

"Yes, we’ll go prepare immediately, absolutely won’t let Su Chongwen succeed!!" Yu Rongling stated firmly.

A snake came in to deliver the news, "Something terrible happened, the mountain is surrounded by the Five Yin Formation, many Yin Corpses and stray ghosts have arrived."

"The Five Yin Formation? Isn’t that specifically a formation for trapping souls, causing them great suffering?" Yu Rongling was startled, and said to Qing Li, "Mom, I’ll take the snakes to annihilate them all, you rest well, don’t come out."

"Understood, I still want to live to play with my grandchildren." Qing Li said with confident assurance.

Deep in the night, the Snake Sect and the endless Yin Souls had been battling all day.

The snakes, clad in armor, were visibly exhausted, almost all sitting on the ground eating whatever to stave off hunger. The Five Yin Formation trapped the Yin Corpses and Yin Souls.

They could only enter and not retreat, moreover, they couldn’t break through to deliver the news.

The immense Yin energy even blocked the signals, making it impossible to communicate with modern tools, not even the Jade Tablets could transmit messages.

Continuing like this, many members of the Snake Sect would fall one by one.

Yu Rongling stood decisively, making a decision, "We can’t drag this out any longer, we must find a way to break through."

"Rongling, don’t be impulsive, there are too many Yin Souls, even my cultivation couldn’t break through." Chang Hao sighed and said, "If only Lady of the Snake Lord, Snake Lord, or even Yun Hao were here to join forces with me, things wouldn’t be so bleak."

Yu Rongling knew that if any of them were staying at the Snake Sect, Su Chongwen’s clone wouldn’t dare approach.

He specifically found a gap, come to claim his family’s little princess’s life.

"Grandpa Snake, I may have been unreliable before, but to protect my home and family now, I certainly won’t act frivolously." Yu Rongling said lightly to Chang Hao, and stepped into Lin Batian’s room.

Lin Batian, small in stature, donned heavy armor.

Though her elders wouldn’t actually let her go into battle, she insisted on wearing armor.

She sat in a chair, her expression somewhat dazed.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Lin Batian slowly looked up, "Second Uncle?"

"Tiantian, Second Uncle needs a drop of your blood." Yu Rongling said wearily.

Lin Batian extended her tiny hand, giving a soft hum, "Second Uncle, hug me."

"Does it hurt?" Yu Rongling said affectionately, holding Lin Batian in his arms.
