Lin Bai and his allies ended their battle with an overwhelming victory after Emperor Chu negotiated a truce, then returned with the other hunters to the Ascension Celestial Palace as the hunt ended.

Prince Chen and the Chu Emperor turned the proposal aside, but Liang Wang immediately proposed that Lin Bai marry one of his daughters instead.

Prince Liang pressed Emperor Chu to arrange a marriage between Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue and Lin Bai, while Prince Chen and the Third Prince joined forces to prevent Lin Bai from marrying into Prince Liang's Estate.

• Liang Wang challenged the Chu Emperor to set a wedding date for Lin Bai and Fallen Immortal, and Fallen Immortal said they would marry once they reached the Grand Luo Dao Fruit realm, within ten years.
• Lin Bai reflected that the marriage dispute was a contest among the Chu Kingdom’s upper ranks and accepted congratulations from the guests.

• Meng Qinxian stopped Lin Bai from returning the weapons and told the two family elders that their prodigies would have to reclaim them themselves.

• Meng Qinxian explained that Lin Bai had taken the Mount Tai Sword and Overlord Sky Halberd after defeating Zhao Xiantu and Li Mo.

He decided to seek Old Man Wuchuan’s help and arranged a gathering to distribute the hunting proceeds, leaving the marriage response unresolved.

• Old Ancestor Pan Qing and Tianshui Sect’s elders discussed the arranged marriage, and Sect Master and the sect’s old ancestors decided to wait and see.

Old Man Wuchuan discussed the Third Prince’s firm political foundation and his wish to leave the Imperial Capital, and Lin Bai presented the damaged weapon and the Yellow Springs Ancient Tree.

• After returning from the Southern Sky Hunting Garden, Lin Bai went to the Celestial Mystery Pavilion and asked Meng Ye to arrange a meeting with Old Man Wuchuan.

• Lin Bai told Old Man Wuchuan that the Third Prince had been keeping a low profile since the Twelfth Prince’s orphan was rescued.
• Old Man Wuchuan explained that the Third Prince’s strong support across the dynasty meant that losing the Chu Emperor’s favor would not topple him.

• Lin Bai took out the Yellow Springs Demon Bone and the Yellow Springs Ancient Tree for Old Man Wuchuan.

Lin Bai left the Yellow Springs Demon Bone and Yellow Springs Ancient Tree with Old Man Wuchuan to be repaired, then wandered the imperial capital while searching for a way to expose the Third Prince. He ended up near Bright Moon Pavilion, where Chao Yushi and Zhang Linghu mistook his aimless walk for a visit to a pleasure house and warned him to remain faithful to their young mistress.

• Lin Bai wandered through the imperial capital, considering how the Third Prince's disappearance had cut off his investigation into the First Prince and Second Prince's deaths.
• Chao Yushi called out to Lin Bai from Hongtian Tavern, where Zhang Linghu warned him not to betray their young mistress by visiting places of pleasure.
• Lin Bai realized that he had wandered near Bright Moon Pavilion without intending to go there.

Lin Bai considered asking Chao Yushi and Zhang Linghu for help investigating the Third Prince, despite his hostility toward Zhang Linghu. At Hongtian Tavern, Chao Yushi inferred that Lin Bai was troubled by the Third Prince and explained why Lin Bai had avoided escalating past conflicts; Lin Bai then asked him to guess what else was bothering him.

• Lin Bai argued with Zhang Linghu after Zhang reprimanded him for going to Bright Moon Pavilion, and Chao Yushi stopped Zhang from acting rashly.
• Chao Yushi offered Lin Bai help from their imperial capital connections, and Lin Bai decided their local knowledge could help him investigate the Third Prince.

Lin Bai consulted Chao Yushi about his search for a way to expose the Third Prince, and Chao Yushi warned that any apparent weakness could be a trap. The discussion turned to Xia Jingzhi, whose identity and connection to the Third Prince Chao Yushi had uncovered through Prince Hong Estate’s surviving intelligence network.

• Lin Bai realized Chao Yushi knew private details about Tianshui Sect and suspected that spies operated within its temporary palace.
• Chao Yushi revealed that Old Man Wuchuan had secretly returned to the Celestial Mystery Pavilion, then recognized Lin Bai was investigating the Third Prince.
• Lin Bai admitted he could find no breakthrough against the Third Prince, and Chao Yushi warned that a revealed weakness might be bait designed to exploit Lin Bai and Prince Chen’s urgency.
• Chao Yushi advised Lin Bai either not to strike or to make a decisive strike, explaining that even a known trap could be worth entering if the target justified it.
• Chao Yushi identified Xia Jingzhi as a Superior-Grade Great Purity Dao Fruit expert in the Third Prince’s Sun Moon Pavilion and a former disciple of the Southern Border Insect Valley.
• Chao Yushi said Prince Hong Estate’s former retainers had kept their imperial-capital intelligence network active and had investigated Xia Jingzhi after he killed Ren Xin.

Lin Bai learned from Chao Yushi that Xia Jingzhi was tied to the Third Prince and the deaths of the First Prince and Second Prince, but his whereabouts remained unknown. Chao Yushi proposed baiting the Third Prince by letting it appear that Lin Bai had evidence about the deaths, and Lin Bai decided to proceed.

• Chao Yushi told Lin Bai that Xia Jingzhi had vanished after the Zhao Xing Office tried to capture him fifteen hundred years earlier, and that he had found new traces only after Ren Xin's death.
• Lin Bai deduced that the Third Prince had rescued Xia Jingzhi and later used him to refine the God-Devil Calamity Poison and shadow Lin Bai's investigation.
• Chao Yushi said the Third Prince's involvement in the First Prince and Second Prince's deaths was leverage Lin Bai could use, even though he lacked evidence.
• Chao Yushi advised Lin Bai to spread word that he had evidence and was investigating the matter, hoping to make the Third Prince panic and act.
• Lin Bai accepted the plan and said he was ready for the Third Prince to come after him.

Lin Bai learned that Chao Yushi would help publicize his matter and revealed Prince Hong's Estate's far-reaching influence.

As the imperial capital prepared for the arrival of the Flourishing Sects before Chu Emperor’s Birthday Celebration, Lin Bai headed to Immortal Abode Restaurant to gather with his friends and fellow sect disciples.

• Lin Bai told Chao Yushi he would discuss their plan with Prince Chen before making a decision, and Chao Yushi tied their interests to Prince Hong Estate.
