Lin Bai is threatened by the leaders of the Sword Domain, Soul-breaking Area, and Great Witch Dynasty. When the Great Witch Emperor attempts to attack Lin Bai, Lan Yuanshan and Lan Yuanqing intervene, stating they are ordered to protect Lin Bai. Bai Xiaoxiao suggests separating the two souls within the woman, which angers the Great Witch Emperor. Gu Daozhi intervenes and grants Lin Bai half a year to find a way to separate the souls, or the woman will be executed. The Great Witch Emperor insists the woman be imprisoned in the Great Witch Dynasty's "Imprisoned Dragon Abyss" in the Jianghai Region, with joint security.

The leader of the Sword God Clan, hailing from the Sword Domain, declared, "Very well, the Sword Domain has already dispatched experts to guard the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss!"

Laughter erupted from the Netherworld King Clan of the Soul-breaking Area as they chimed in, "That sounds acceptable. Regardless, we need to return to the Soul-breaking Area to handle our grand scheme. Executing this woman in half a year would be most fitting!"

Gu Daozhi, representing the East Continent Academy, assigned the task: "Then, Gu Lianxing, Gutian Xuan, Lan Yuanshan, Lan Yuanqing, Chen Xinghe, Kong Wu, Zhang Xifeng, Shi Ziliang, you all shall remain here with other powerhouses from the various Territories to oversee the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss!"

Gutian Xuan and the others readily agreed, nodding in unison. "No problem."

The Great Witch Emperor stated with a cold tone, "Since everyone has no objections, then escort this woman to the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss!"

A light chuckle escaped the white-haired woman as she replied, "There’s no need to escort me. Simply tell me the direction to the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, and I will go myself!"

The white-haired woman offered a slight smile.

Lin Bai turned his head, casting a complex gaze towards the white-haired woman, his eyes filled with unspoken depth.

The white-haired woman gave Lin Bai a faint smile before, under the escort of the Great Witch Dynasty’s soldiers, heading towards the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss!

Meanwhile, in the Jianghai Region, the warriors from the East Continent achieved a momentous victory in their battle against the Demon Sect!

A grand celebration banquet commenced within the Jianghai Region, continuing for three days and three nights without pause.

The Great Witch Dynasty and the Jiang Clan seized this opportunity to vigorously recruit powerful individuals.

Concurrently, Lin Bai and his companions sought refuge and recuperation within the Imperial Palace of the Great Witch Dynasty for a period.

Three days later, Lin Bai found himself standing within the Imperial Residence, situated inside the Great Witch Dynasty's Imperial Palace.

Bai Xiaoxiao approached him at that moment, silently taking her place beside Lin Bai.

Lin Bai’s gaze remained fixed on the distant horizon, lost in contemplation.

"Are you blaming me?" Bai Xiaoxiao inquired softly.

Lin Bai responded with a smile and a shake of his head, "No!"

Bai Xiaoxiao remained silent for a moment.

Lin Bai let out a light sigh, saying, "If I were in your position, I also wouldn't know how to tell you... This matter is simply too bizarre!"

Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and explained, "The Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains fused Zhao Yue and Ye Suxin’s divine souls together. This was something I never anticipated!"

"Actually, when you returned to the Territory of all nations before, you mentioned Ye Suxin’s physical body had disappeared. Later, I discovered traces of the Demon Sect."

"I attempted to find Ye Suxin once, only to discover she was no longer the person you knew."

"I truly didn’t know how to break it to you!" Bai Xiaoxiao confessed with evident difficulty.

"I understand!" Lin Bai nodded with a smile. "We have half a year. Within this time, even if I have to traverse the entire Barbaric Ancient Continent, I will find a way to separate their divine souls!"

Bai Xiaoxiao added, "When I return to the Territory of all nations, I will also search for the ancient texts of the Five Poison Sect from back in the day, hoping to find some methods within those records!"

Lin Bai gave a slight nod.

A prolonged silence fell between them once more.

Bai Xiaoxiao eventually spoke, "Lin Bai, I need to return to the Territory of all nations. Chu Jiangliu has already led the army to fetch me."

Lin Bai replied, "You require three parts of the world, so naturally, you must return to the Territory of all nations to preside over the grand scheme. Unfortunately, I am currently entangled in matters and fear I cannot assist you much right now!"

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed gently, "That's alright. You taking good care of yourself is already a great help to me."

Lin Bai inquired, "Are there any difficulties in the Southern Corner's 180 Domains?"

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, assuring him, "Everything is arranged."

Lin Bai cautioned, "Currently, within the Ten Great Dynasties, only the Great Witch Dynasty remains. You've seen the Emperor of the Great Witch Dynasty yourself; he is a cunning individual, so you must be cautious of him!"

Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, replying, "It's fine. Regardless, I am already prepared to challenge the Great Witch Dynasty."

"Seeing you so confident puts my mind at ease!" Lin Bai expressed.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled.

They stood together as they had before, for the entire morning.

At noon, Lin Bai saw Bai Xiaoxiao off from the Imperial Palace of the Great Witch Dynasty.

Outside the Imperial Palace, Chu Jiangliu, leading the Chu Family Army, was there to greet her.

Bai Xiaoxiao ascended the Dragon Throne and vanished beyond the horizon with the Chu Family Army.

Lin Bai then returned to the Imperial Palace.

As they journeyed back to the Territory of All Nations, Chu Jiangliu approached Bai Xiaoxiao, cupping his fists in a respectful gesture. "Emperor Xiao, is the Sword Prince... alright?" he inquired.

Bai Xiaoxiao responded, "He is fine!"

A sigh of relief escaped Chu Jiangliu as he chuckled, "I had thought the Sword Prince would be unable to endure it!"

Bai Xiaoxiao let out a bitter sigh. "Chu Jiangliu, you and the Sword Prince were once friends through thick and thin. You should understand, the Sword Prince has walked a path paved with blood and tears. The pain and torment he endured throughout his journey, the countless things he lost along the way were far too numerous!"

"He originally possessed nothing, so what more can he possibly lose now?"

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a pang of heartbreak for Lin Bai.

Chu Jiangliu silently nodded, his mind replaying Lin Bai's life story, and he too shook his head without uttering a word.

Bai Xiaoxiao continued, "Upon our return, ensure the military forces are properly organized! I fear our Shenwu Kingdom will face a fierce battle within the next six months!"

Chu Jiangliu's curiosity was piqued. "A fierce battle in six months? Who is our adversary? Could it be the Great Witch Dynasty?"

Bai Xiaoxiao's expression grew somber as she spoke in a low voice, "In six months, I fear the enemy of Shenwu Kingdom will be... the entirety of the warriors from the East Continent!"

Chu Jiangliu's face contorted with fear upon hearing this as he stared at Bai Xiaoxiao.

The army of the Shenwu Kingdom departed, leaving the Jianghai Region behind.

...

Within the Imperial Palace of the Great Witch Dynasty, the night was deep.

The celebration banquet held within the palace walls was still underway, with joyous sounds spilling out onto the surrounding streets.

At this very moment, Lan Yuxin arrived at Lin Bai's Imperial Residence.

In the shadows, Lan Yuxin observed Lin Bai standing by the window. Though she could only see his back, she could sense the chilling killing intent radiating from him.

"Lan Yuxin!" Lin Bai called out softly.

Emerging from the darkness, Lan Yuxin moved to Lin Bai's side, her expression unreadable. "I wish to know about your past!" she declared.

Lin Bai offered a wry smile. "Why?"

Lan Yuxin shook her head. "No particular reason. I simply wish to know. I want to understand everything about you; I want to know what your past was like!"

"I want to know what you have endured!"

"I want to know how much pain resides within your heart!"

"I want to know... what your relationship is with her, for she is clearly worth you confronting the warriors of the East Continent just to protect her!"

"I want to know it all!" Lan Yuxin stated resolutely, gazing intently at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai replied, "If you are hoping to hear a story, I offer my apologies. I am not in the mood to tell it right now."

Seeing Lin Bai's unwillingness to speak, Lan Yuxin also fell silent.

They stood in quiet contemplation for a long while before Lan Yuxin turned to depart, her voice carrying a determined edge. "Even if you refuse to tell me, I will still find out!"

With those words, Lan Yuxin left Lin Bai's Imperial Residence and the Jianghai Region, her ultimate destination unknown.

The following day, as dawn broke.

Lin Bai emerged from the Imperial Residence, his path leading him towards Mo Qing's abode.

Mo Qing had journeyed all the way from the Southern Continent to lend aid to the East Continent, a kindness Lin Bai had not forgotten.

Therefore, before departing the Jianghai Region, Lin Bai was determined to meet with Mo Qing!
