While Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin were jointly dealing with the Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent, they failed to notice several figures silently approaching from behind. They stood in the darkness, watching Tuo Baxin and Lin Bai from afar.
"Lin Bai—we finally found him."
"Not just Lin Bai. There's also Tuo Baxin, the holy son of the Southern Region's Barbarian Sect."
"What kind of exotic beast are they fighting?"
"..."
"What kind of exotic beast is this? It looks pretty strong."
"Who knows? The ancient creatures from the Barbarian Era and the Primordial Era—we're not warriors from the State of Chu. How could we possibly know them all?"
"But it certainly looks difficult to deal with."
"..."
"Perfect. We can wait until they've both suffered heavy losses, then come out and reap the spoils. We can deal with Lin Bai while we're at it."
"We'd better be careful. Lin Bai isn't so easy to deal with."
"Heh heh, I'd like to see just how difficult a warrior with a Supreme Avatar can be."
After discussing matters in the darkness, the figures came up with a plan. Their forms then silently melted into the darkness without leaving a trace.

Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin were also discussing how to deal with the Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent.
"Fortunately... this evil creature has a heart." Tuo Baxin said to Lin Bai with a beaming smile, "It's located seven inches beneath its nine heads."
Tuo Baxin pointed out a spot on the Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent's body.
Following Tuo Baxin's finger, Lin Bai saw that beneath the Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent's nine necks was a single shared body.
Seven inches beneath the point where those nine necks converged was the location of the heart Tuo Baxin had indicated.
