Mo Qing enters the ninth floor to confront an unknown entity, while Lin Bai arrives at Moon Invitation City. He discovers the city is empty of people, filled only with poisonous creatures. Lin Bai uses a secret skill to reveal a hidden courtyard, which bears the name "Lin Family" and is filled with the bones of thousands of deceased warriors. At the center of the courtyard stands a statue with fragmented, ominous words carved into its base, hinting at a past conflict involving the Poison God Clan. As Lin Bai examines the inscription, a young boy approaches him.

Lin Bai finally turned around and looked towards the distant green-clad young man slowly approaching from behind, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Mo Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth and called out softly, "Big Brother Lin Bai, is that you?"

"Hahaha, did you still manage to see through me?" Lin Bai reached out and removed the human-face bronze mask on his face, revealing his true appearance, and looked at Lin Bai.

Mo Qing laughed, "I just knew, among all the sword cultivators under the heavens, the only one who can slice my Poisonous Dragon Vine with a single sword is my Big Brother Lin Bai."

Mo Qing quickly strode to Lin Bai’s front, smiling brightly as he looked at Lin Bai.

At the Eighth Layer, the moment Lin Bai sliced the Poisonous Dragon Vine with one sword, Mo Qing’s heart had already guessed Lin Bai’s identity.

That sword intent, that dominating aura, made Mo Qing’s memory of Lin Bai’s sword skill unforgettable.

"Long time no see, Mo Qing, it was truly unexpected, that when we met again, we would actually start fighting," Lin Bai said with a series of wry smiles.

Mo Qing laughed, "What fighting indeed, if Big Brother Lin Bai didn’t want to harm me, I guess Big Brother Lin Bai could have ended my life with a single sword."

"By the way, Big Brother Lin Bai, why have you come to the Southern Continent?"

"Why are you in the Poison God Clan?"

"How come you were taking action with Gou Chen?"

Mo Qing asked many questions consecutively.

At this moment, Mo Qing said with some self-reproach, "Big Brother Lin Bai, I’m sorry, after the chaos of the Demon Sect in the Great Witch Dynasty, I originally returned to the Poison God Clan to seek a way to separate the divine soul for you, but I didn’t expect that as soon as I returned, my Master directly ordered me to retreat into seclusion, forbidding me from leaving until reaching the Wending Realm!"

"So..."

Mo Qing lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, looking especially self-condemning.

Lin Bai smiled and patted Mo Qing’s shoulder, saying, "Hahaha, it’s okay, I’ve already solved that matter, and of course I guessed that you might have something going on, otherwise you wouldn’t have sent me any news."

"Since we brothers have met, let’s not speak of this anymore."

"As for why I’ve come to the Southern Continent, that’s a long story."

Lin Bai briefly told Mo Qing about the discoveries after the battle with the Demon Sect’s chaos.

Including the solution for the divine soul of Ye Suxin and Zhao Yue.

Including Lin Bai going to the Northern Continent Sword God Clan to seek a sword.

Including how Lin Bai later went to the Great Witch Dynasty and formally broke with the East Continent Academy, to repair his Dantian, he came to the Southern Continent.

After listening, Mo Qing exclaimed with a startled expression, "It turns out that during my seclusion, so much has happened in the East Continent."

Lin Bai laughed, "It’s all in the past."

Mo Qing asked, "Then, Big Brother Lin Bai, why are you now appearing in the Poison God Clan, and why did you take action with Gou Chen?"

Lin Bai again told Mo Qing about the grievances between Ye Suxin and Xia Qiu.

After listening, Mo Qing suddenly understood and said, "So that’s it, the Ninth Elder thought it was Sister Ye Suxin who killed Xia Qiu, so he brought her back to the Poison God Clan."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "So after I arrived at the Poison God Clan, I heard some news, saying Ye Suxin was imprisoned on the Ninth Floor, hence I came to investigate the Poison Cave."

"Who knew, not long after entering the Poison Cave, Gou Chen came knocking."

"With no choice left, I had to have a battle with him."

Mo Qing slightly nodded, then said, "Since Big Brother Lin Bai came to find Sister Ye Suxin, then let me help you!"

As he spoke, Mo Qing took out a cocoon from the Beast-controlling Bag and placed it in his palm.

Soon, this cocoon broke open, transforming into a butterfly.

"Go!"

Mo Qing gently tossed it, and the butterfly flew away from his palm, wandering inside the Ninth Floor.

Mo Qing laughed, "This is the Soul-Confusing Butterfly, the places it flies over will leave behind pollen."

"Now I will let it fly to every inch of the Ninth Floor, once it finishes flying, I can control every inch of land inside the Ninth Floor, and sense all poisons and warriors within the pollen."

"Originally it was used to find poisons, but now using it to find people has many benefits too."

Mo Qing laughed.

Lin Bai furrowed his brow and said, "Mo Qing, helping me like this, if the Poison God Clan finds out... won’t you maybe..."

Mo Qing laughed, "Big Brother Lin Bai, no need to worry, even if the Poison God Clan discovers it, they can’t do anything to me, after all, I am a third generation disciple."

Lin Bai curiously asked, "I’ve always heard you mention third generation disciples, what exactly is the Poison God Clan’s third generation disciples?"

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s question, Mo Qing was a bit hard to speak, his face hesitant.

Lin Bai immediately said, "If it’s related to the Poison God Clan’s secrets, then you don’t have to say, I was being abrupt."

Mo Qing nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed it is the highest secret of the Poison God Clan, actually, I don’t quite understand what exactly third generation disciples are."

"But from the time I can remember, the elders of the Poison God Clan have told me, we are all third generation disciples, holding extremely high status in the Poison God Clan."

"Not just me, Gou Chen, Bai Qing, Gou Chen, Li Wen, Sanle, Xia Qiu... all are third generation disciples."

"Moreover, Big Brother Lin Bai, I’ve discovered a very puzzling point."

"I’ve never been able to figure it out."

Mo Qing said, furrowing his brows.

Lin Bai asked, "What puzzle?"

Mo Qing said in a low voice, "I once discovered a hidden tome inside the Poison God Clan’s Scripture Storage Tower!"

"I found inside it, that third generation disciples seem to appear at different times."

"For instance, Zhao Yue from tens of thousands of years ago, she was also a third generation disciple!"

"According to the records in that tome, many years ago, third generation disciples have appeared! Without exception, they are the most outstanding Tianjiao within the Poison God Clan, during that period, these third generation disciples almost became the Strong Ones who suppressed the Five Continents."

Lin Bai furrowed his brow and said, "Are you suggesting... third generation disciples of the Poison God Clan appear in different years?"

"Some appear a hundred thousand years ago, some appear ten thousand years ago, and some, like yourselves, appear now?"

Mo Qing slightly nodded, "Especially since the elders of the Poison God Clan strictly forbid us from asking about the third generation disciples’ matters, moreover, every time we ask, the elders of the Poison God Clan say that it is because our talents are too high, ranking in the third sequence within the Poison God Clan, thus we are called third generation disciples."

"Gou Chen and others believe this explanation."

"But I always feel that the elders seem to just be fobbing us off."

Mo Qing said, distressed.

"Ranked by talent? It sounds to me like it might also be just fobbing people off!" Lin Bai furrowed his brow and said.

What does the Poison God Clan’s third generation disciples mean?

Both Lin Bai and Mo Qing couldn’t comprehend.

Mo Qing said in a low voice, "Perhaps Sister Zhao Yue can give us an answer..."
