Lin Bai and Mo Qing reunite and discuss recent events. Mo Qing apologizes for not being able to help Lin Bai sooner due to his seclusion. Lin Bai explains his journey to the Southern Continent and his conflict with Gou Chen. Mo Qing offers to help Lin Bai find Ye Suxin using a Soul-Confusing Butterfly and reveals a puzzling secret about the "third generation disciples" of the Poison God Clan, suggesting they appear at different times throughout history.

"Zhao Yue?" Lin Bai was taken aback and looked at Mo Qing.

Mo Qing whispered, "Sister Zhao Yue is also a third-generation disciple, but she is the first in history to defect from the Poison God Clan as a third-generation disciple."

"Once, the Poison God Clan had warriors who defected, but after these disciples fled the Southern Continent, the Poison God Clan no longer concerned themselves."

"But Sister Zhao Yue is different. After she escaped the Southern Continent, the Poison God Clan issued a widespread bounty across the Barbaric Ancient Continent, calling for all warriors in the Barbaric Ancient Continent to hunt down Sister Zhao Yue."

"Lin Bai, do you know that the bounty placed on Sister Zhao Yue at the time reached an unimaginable level? It was considered the highest bounty ever on the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was somewhat surprised and said, "The Poison God Clan actually offered such a generous bounty to hunt down Zhao Yue?"

Mo Qing nodded and said, "Indeed, isn’t it strange? Being the same disciples of the Poison God Clan, when others fled the Southern Continent, the clan paid no heed. Yet when Sister Zhao Yue fled, the clan issued a sky-high bounty to hunt her down across the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

"Is it related to the identity of being a third-generation disciple?"

"Moreover, Lin Bai, when I discovered how mysterious the identity of third-generation disciples in the Poison God Clan was, I secretly conducted many investigations."

"Especially concerning Sister Zhao Yue!"

"I discovered a shocking secret."

Mo Qing looked at Lin Bai with a solemn expression.

Lin Bai’s face tightened, and he asked, "What secret?"

Mo Qing earnestly said, "I found out... Sister Zhao Yue was once the young clan leader of the Moon God Tribe, the primary heir to the Moon God Tribe!"

"The heir to the Moon God Tribe!" Lin Bai looked at Mo Qing in shock, then turned to look at the mansion, saying softly, "This place was once the Moon Invitation City of the Moon God Tribe, home to the tribe’s leaders and direct lineage clan members."

"So, this is the place where Zhao Yue grew up?"

Mo Qing looked at the surrounding mansion and said softly, "I didn’t expect Lin Bai to actually find this Lin Family Mansion."

"When I learned that Sister Zhao Yue came from the Moon God Tribe, I visited Moon Invitation City and Zhanxing City in the Poison Cave multiple times."

"Yet, despite my long investigation, I found no clues."

"Until once, while using a Soul-Confusing Butterfly to hunt a poison beast here, the butterfly accidentally found this Lin Family Mansion."

"I expended great effort to enter the Lin Family Mansion."

Looking at the ground full of bones, Mo Qing said softly, "If my guess is correct, these bones should belong to the core clan members of the Moon God Tribe back then, Zhao Yue’s family."

"But why did they die?"

"Why did Moon Invitation City and Zhanxing City appear inside the Poison Cave?"

"This has been a baffling point for me."

Mo Qing said with a frown.

Upon hearing Mo Qing’s information, Lin Bai also fell into deep thought, saying after a long pause, "There must be some connection; we just haven’t found it yet."

"Is being a third-generation disciple simply due to exceptionally high talent?"

"Is it really that simple?"

Lin Bai said in a daze.

At this moment, the Soul-Confusing Butterfly that had flown from Mo Qing’s palm returned to him.

At this moment, Mo Qing closed his eyes, his perception spreading out and connecting with the pollen on the butterfly, immediately sensing every inch of space within the Ninth Floor clearly.

After a while, Mo Qing opened his eyes and looked at Lin Bai, shaking his head slightly, "Lin Bai, as it stands, apart from the two of us, there are no other warriors in the Ninth Floor of the Poison Cave. It’s filled only with poisons, and there’s no sign of Sister Ye Suxin."

"No?" Lin Bai was stunned.

Lin Bai had searched the Ninth Floor before but hadn’t found a trace of Ye Suxin.

Now, meeting Mo Qing, even letting Mo Qing try, neither found any clues of Ye Suxin.

So, Lin Bai could now basically confirm.

It’s estimated that Ye Suxin is not in the Ninth Floor.

"If Ye Suxin is not imprisoned in the Poison Cave, where could she be?" Lin Bai frowned and said.

Mo Qing said, "The Poison Cave has a total of 108 layers, except for the last eight layers, the other hundred are open to the disciples of the Poison God Clan. Maybe she’s imprisoned somewhere else?"

"But Lin Bai, considering the vastness of the Poison Cave, it’ll take at least half a year for just the two of us to search through the first hundred layers."

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said coldly, "Then there’s no other way. I’ll have to find Ninth Elder to ask for her."

Mo Qing said, "Lin Bai, you want to see Ninth Elder? But since Ninth Elder returned to the Poison God Clan, he hasn’t seen outsiders. Not even you, not even Gou Chen and I can easily see Ninth Elder."

"The Supreme Elders of the Poison God Clan rarely reveal themselves."

"They usually either raise poisons or are in seclusion cultivating poison skills."

"For disciples of the Poison God Clan, balancing both cultivation and poison skills takes significantly more time than ordinary warriors, so most disciples spend years in seclusion."

"Moreover, the dwelling places of the Poison God Clan’s disciples are terrifying like Asura Hell, guarded by fierce poison beasts."

"Even the Poison God Clan’s disciples dare not easily trespass into other disciples’ dwellings."

"Especially Ninth Elder’s dwelling place, where who knows how many fierce poison beasts..."

Mo Qing spoke to Lin Bai with profound meaning.

Lin Bai was startled and asked, "Is it really that dangerous?"

Mo Qing said, "Ninth Elder’s dwelling place is no less dangerous than the upper layers of the Poison Cave..."

Lin Bai said coldly, "But even so, I must find a way to meet Ninth Elder."

Mo Qing frowned and thought for a while, his eyes lighting up, "Lin Bai, perhaps you can meet Ninth Elder at the Seventeenth Prince’s banquet. After all, the Seventeenth Prince is representing the Central Holy Nation’s Imperial Clan. As a matter of etiquette, the Supreme Elders and their outstanding disciples will attend the banquet."

"At the banquet, you might just see Ninth Elder."

"Not only that, my master recently used secret skills to urge me to leave seclusion immediately, probably wanting me to attend this banquet too."

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, "Then it seems that’s the only option."
