Mo Wenshen confronts Shangguan Cun, who reveals knowledge of Mo Wenshen's past actions. The Seventeenth Prince of the Central Holy Nation arrives, subtly consolidating power by requesting the Nanzhou martial artists' allegiance to maintain peace amidst his father's seclusion. While some pledge loyalty, many hesitate, awaiting the Poison God Clan's stance. Shangguan Cun declares the Ancestral Temple's indifference to any decision, stating that the impending calamity makes all choices insignificant.

"The calamity of Nanzhou is imminent, so today, regardless of the decision made by the Poison God Clan, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t carry weight."

Shangguan Cun said solemnly to Yu Ru.

Yu Ru was stunned, looking at Shangguan Cun, with a cold expression, "Shangguan Cun, what do you mean?"

Shangguan Cun said, "Are my words not clear enough? Now, the warriors on Nanzhou Continent, whether they are Nanzhou martial artists or outsiders, cannot escape this calamity."

"Under the calamity, Nanzhou will be broken."

"By then, do you think the decisions made by the Poison God Clan today will still be meaningful?"

"The Seventeenth Prince needs a flourishing Poison God Clan, not a powerless one."

Shangguan Cun said softly.

Yu Ru’s face turned cold upon hearing Shangguan Cun’s words.

At this moment, the Seventeenth Prince chuckled, "Brother Shangguan, could it be that because of our slight verbal dispute earlier, you are now deliberately making up lies to deceive the Poison God Clan?"

Shangguan Cun laughed, "Our Ancestral Temple of Southern Continent never speaks without basis."

The Seventeenth Prince felt that Shangguan Cun was deliberately frightening the Poison God Clan due to their previous argument, preventing them from making a decision.

The Seventeenth Prince asked, "May I inquire, what kind of calamity can disturb the entire Nanzhou? Who in this world has such capability to destabilize Nanzhou, which has stood on Barbaric Ancient Continent for years?"

Shangguan Cun chuckled, "I don’t know, I don’t know what kind of calamity it is either."

The Seventeenth Prince chuckled, "You don’t even know what kind of calamity it is, yet you dare to speak nonsense. Do you know that in the military, this is a grave crime, disturbing soldiers’ morale, and punishable by death?"

Shangguan Cun shrugged, with an innocent look, "Well, then, just let me stop speaking."

The Seventeenth Prince saw Shangguan Cun sit down without further comment, then turned to Yu Ru and said, "Senior Yu Ru, as long as your Poison God Clan is willing to follow me in guarding Nanzhou, no matter what kind of calamity may occur, my Central Holy Nation will fully support you."

"Central Holy Nation, hahahaha..." Shangguan Cun laughed upon hearing this.

The Seventeenth Prince asked unhappily, "What’s wrong? Brother Shangguan, do you think my Central Holy Nation lacks the strength?"

"Do you think that even the alliance of Central Holy Nation and the Poison God Clan cannot prevent this calamity?"

"I can promise, as long as Nanzhou faces changes, I can mobilize three war commanders and lead ten million troops into Nanzhou to protect it."

"With this, Brother Shangguan, do you still think Nanzhou will break under the calamity?"

Shangguan Cun laughed softly, "I said it very clearly just now, Seventeenth Prince, do you think I’m a fool? I said that under the calamity, any warrior who steps into the land of Nanzhou cannot be exempted!"

"Once your three war commanders and ten million troops come to Nanzhou, their bones will lie here!"

"I’m not exaggerating. The Poison God Clan knows very well that our Ancestral Temple of Southern Continent never likes to speak much, but as long as we choose to speak, what is said is fact, and what is heard is truth."

Shangguan Cun said firmly.

The Seventeenth Prince looked at Shangguan Cun, utterly disbelieving his words.

He deemed Shangguan Cun a madman, here to stir up chaos today.

Yet Yu Ru at this moment looked at Shangguan Cun, speaking coldly, "I recall it’s the first time in hundreds of years our Ancestral Temple of Southern Continent began to involve in matters of Nanzhou, I believe our temple wouldn’t speak nonsense."

"Shangguan Cun, if what you said is true, that Nanzhou’s calamity is approaching, then with our Nanzhou martial artists’ strength, if we cannot resist this calamity, perhaps we must rely on Central Holy Nation’s power!"

"So today, for the safety of Nanzhou, our Poison God Clan must agree to the Seventeenth Prince’s request."

"This is the decision made by our Poison God Clan today."

"Ancestral Temple of Southern Continent, do you have any objections?"

Yu Ru looked at Shangguan Cun and asked.

Shangguan Cun shook his head, smiling, "The Ancestral Temple of Southern Continent has no objections. As I said, today, whatever decision the Poison God Clan makes, it doesn’t matter!"

"Whether you support the Seventeenth Prince or not, it’s irrelevant to Nanzhou!"

Yu Ru said, "Alright, since the Ancestral Temple has no objections, Seventeenth Prince, if calamity erupts in Nanzhou, please don’t stand by idle, Central Holy Nation."

"Of course, if in the future, troublemakers stir up Nanzhou, as long as the Seventeenth Prince confirms, our Nanzhou’s Poison God Clan will fully assist."

Yu Ru said firmly to the Seventeenth Prince.

The Seventeenth Prince was overjoyed, laughing, "Good, good, good!"

Speaking, the Seventeenth Prince looked at all the warriors present and asked, "What about you? Would you be willing to follow me in guarding Nanzhou?"

All Cauldron Questioning Realm warriors present, upon hearing the Poison God Clan’s attitude, clasped their fists and shouted in unison, "We are willing!"

"We are willing!"

"We are willing!"

"We are willing, to follow the Seventeenth Prince and guard Nanzhou!"

The Seventeenth Prince was exceedingly happy, laughing, "Good, good, good, as long as I’m in power, Nanzhou will not suffer turmoil. If one day, I advance further, all of you will gain endless riches and honor!"

"Thank you, Seventeenth Prince!" warriors shouted.

The Seventeenth Prince’s face was filled with smiles.

In the crowd, only Lin Bai and Xu Li’s expressions were different, one calmly extraordinary, the other bitterly smiling and shaking his head.

"Brother Lin Bai, I didn’t expect such an outcome, though I foresaw it before coming, seeing it unfold in front of me is still hard to believe." Xu Li said with a light laugh.

But Lin Bai at this moment wasn’t listening to Xu Li, instead he looked towards the Ninth Elder.

At this moment, after hearing the decision made by Yu Ru, the Ninth Elder smiled at the Seventeenth Prince for a while, then turned to leave the banquet.

"He left!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed.

Xu Li asked, "Brother Lin Bai, which young lady are you looking at?"

"Brother Xu Li, I have urgent matters, if fortune allows, I’ll see you again in Jianghu." Lin Bai stood up directly, heading out of Yun Tian Peak, stepping on flying swords, catching up with Ninth Elder.

Lin Bai never expected the Ninth Elder to suddenly choose to leave early.

Outside Yun Tian Peak, Lin Bai pursued by sword quickly catching up with the Ninth Elder.

Outside Yun Tian Peak.

The Ninth Elder originally dashed away, but suddenly he felt a familiar presence behind him, he turned around and saw Lin Bai coming with flying swords.

"So it’s you!" The Ninth Elder looked at Lin Bai from afar, recognizing Lin Bai’s identity.

Lin Bai came before the Ninth Elder on flying swords and asked, "Where is my fiancée Ye Suxin?"
