Lin Bai's attack on Gou Chen was interrupted by the appearance of Mo Qing, who had recently broken through to the Wending Realm. Mo Qing, wielding a "Poisonous Dragon Vine," engaged Lin Bai, whose sword was shattered by the resilient plant. Lin Bai, reluctant to harm his friend, evaded the attacks until he found a Teleportation Array. To escape, Lin Bai unleashed his Sword Intention, severing the vine and reaching the Ninth Floor, leaving Mo Qing stunned.

"This person is no ordinary being. I should inform my master and let the elders of the family handle this," Gou Chen said as he reached into his storage bag to retrieve the sound transmission token to notify his master.

But at that moment, Mo Qing stopped Gou Chen and said, "No need, leave this person to me to deal with."

Gou Chen said solemnly, "But Mo Qing, you saw this person’s strength just now. Are you confident?"

Mo Qing chuckled lightly, "Naturally! You are injured, go back and heal."

Having said that, Mo Qing took steps towards the teleportation array and entered the ninth floor.

...

Shua—

A flash of light appeared before Lin Bai, and when his vision returned, he found himself in another city.

"If I’m not mistaken, this should be Moon Invitation City, which Gou Chen mentioned earlier!"

"And Xu Li said before that Suxin was taken back to the Poison God Clan and detained on the ninth layer, which should be here."

With a flicker of his body, Lin Bai soared rapidly above the city.

He spread out his senses, searching for any trace of Ye Suxin within Moon Invitation City.

It took a full two hours for Lin Bai to search almost every corner of the city, yet he found no trace of any warrior.

In Moon Invitation City, there were only countless poisonous creatures and insects.

Besides Lin Bai, he did not find any other warrior here.

"How is this possible?"

"Didn’t Xu Li say that Suxin was detained on the ninth floor once brought back?"

"Why isn’t there any sign here?" Lin Bai said with a somewhat strange expression.

"Or did I... not search carefully enough and missed something?" Lin Bai stood mid-air, overlooking the massive ancient city, with every pavilion, every street imprinted in his mind.

After thoroughly checking a few times, Lin Bai confirmed that he hadn’t overlooked any place.

But still, there were no other warriors present here.

"Gou Chen once mentioned that Moon Invitation City on the ninth layer and Zhanxing City on the eighth layer were forged for the Moon God Tribe by the seniors of the Pangu Sect back then."

"With the abilities of the Pangu Sect, these two cities are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface!"

"There must be some other secrets hidden here!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flickered, carefully observing the surroundings.

Immediately, Lin Bai’s body slowly lifted into the sky, standing above the clouds, looking down at the massive ancient city.

Every street and every pavilion was carefully memorized by Lin Bai.

"This is a... formation!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flickered as if he discerned something.

"Is this a formation?"

"Using the buildings within Moon Invitation City as array banners and each street as a link, forming a great array?"

"But this doesn’t quite look like a formation either?"

"Is it a formation or not?"

Lin Bai looked oddly at Moon Invitation City, his expression filled with confusion.

In Lin Bai’s eyes, for a moment just now, he almost felt that Moon Invitation City was a formation.

But, upon careful thought, Lin Bai found it unlikely.

"Regardless of whether it is a formation or not, testing will reveal the truth." Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and an awe-inspiring black glow surged from his entire body.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Breaking Prohibition!"

Lin Bai raised his hand and waved, releasing a sword qi that slashed into the void above Moon Invitation City.

Suddenly, ripples spread out in the air, instantly affecting the entire ancient city.

Lin Bai immediately focused his eyes, noticing that after the ripples spread, a pavilion courtyard appeared in the southeast corner, which Lin Bai had not discovered before.

Immediately, Lin Bai flashed and flew over, falling into the courtyard before the magic circle closed.

"Is such a profound magic circle merely to hide this courtyard?" Lin Bai said in surprise as he arrived at the courtyard entrance.

At this moment, the magic circle closed again, and the courtyard vanished from Moon Invitation City, as if it had never existed there.

"Such a superb magic circle, if it weren’t for my Martial Soul Secret Skill, even an array master would hardly discern it," Lin Bai chuckled bitterly, looking up at the courtyard entrance, whispering, "I’m quite curious, why use such a grand formation to specifically hide this courtyard!"

Walking up to the courtyard entrance, Lin Bai saw dried bloodstains on the slab at the door.

Immediately, Lin Bai looked up and saw that the plaque above the entrance was jet black, seemingly tainted with poison.

And hidden on the plaque were the faintly discernible words: "Lin Family."

With a strange expression, Lin Bai pushed the door and entered.

As Lin Bai pushed open the long-sealed door, he was stunned by the scene inside the courtyard.

Lin Bai’s face was horrified as he looked at the sights within the gate.

Inside the gate, the courtyard was piled with countless white bones.

The entire courtyard was almost filled with white bones.

"The warriors who died here probably number no less than ten thousand!" Lin Bai entered the courtyard, gazing at the ground of white bones that had been there for many years, silently moving forward.

These warriors had not only died many years ago but their clothes and storage bags had already weathered away.

Nothing remained here but a pile of white bones.

Lin Bai walked through the courtyard, taking over two hours to examine the entire area, finding nothing unusual.

Even the poisonous creatures nurtured by the Poison God Clan were absent here.

Eventually, Lin Bai arrived at the very center of the courtyard, where there was a massive plaza.

The plaza was still piled with white bones.

And in the center of the plaza, a statue about a hundred meters high drew Lin Bai’s attention.

Lin Bai walked up to the statue, looking up; the statue depicted a man, but due to the years gone by, his appearance was no longer discernible.

Even though the statue now appeared in tatters, Lin Bai could still imagine that it depicted an extraordinary man.

"Hmm? Are there words?"

Lin Bai walked to the back of the statue, seeing some chaotic words carved in what seemed like a hurried state.

The words were scattered, making them difficult to read.

Yet, Lin Bai recognized a few words: "Poison God Clan," "harm," "revenge," "million," "survive," "kill kill kill," "hate" ...

Although Lin Bai could recognize some words, it was hard to link them together, leaving Lin Bai unsure of the full meaning.

Just as Lin Bai stood behind the statue, observing the words.

Suddenly, Lin Bai’s eyes flickered, and a faint smile curved his lips: "Sorry for cutting your Poisonous Dragon Vine. You won’t blame me, will you?"

At this moment, behind Lin Bai, a young boy silently approached, with a tender face, wearing a green long robe, and carrying a painting tube on his back...
