• The narrator, Qing Lin, and Black Water Profound Yin found a nine-headed serpent skeleton deep in the Underground Cavern, and Qing Lin revealed that Little Nine had entered her body without being controlled.

Meanwhile, Qing Lin carried Nalan Ye’s body through underground rivers toward the Beast Region, unsure how to make the long journey.

• Cai Lin realized baleful qi had muddled Nalan Ye’s soul and fought him, fearing their Shared Life and Death Secret Technique would kill them both.
• Nalan Ye attacked wildly and taunted Cai Lin, so she trapped him beneath the sand and began the Great Evil Expulsion Incantation.
• Cai Lin’s multicolored energy began dispersing the baleful qi, but it also corroded Nalan Ye’s soul and could weaken his Dou Zong cultivation.
• Cai Lin hesitated over the risk of damaging Nalan Ye’s soul further, remembering that they still needed to explore the Snake-People Ancestral Land.
