• Chu Zimo ordered the staff to take them to Jade Palace and summon the courtesans from all thirty-six palaces to perform.

Chu Zimo brought Lin Bai, Qi Lingyu, and Wang Zhengyang to Jade Palace, where Jade Fairy cleared the palace and prepared a reception for them. The other guests left after Chu Zimo threatened them, while he waited for his three friends to arrive and planned to use the occasion to befriend the Holy Sons.

• The Moon Palace steward told Jade Fairy that Chu Zimo and his companions were coming, so she ended her banquet and asked her guests to leave.

Chu Zimo hosted Lin Bai, Qi Lingyu, and Wang Zhengyang at the Moon Palace, using his connection to Lin Bai to win the Saint Sons’ goodwill. Lin Bai realized Chu Zimo had hidden his abilities to avoid alarming the Chu Emperor, and suspected he was now revealing them because he believed Lin Bai’s marriage to Chu Tinghan was settled.

• Chu Zimo offered to pay for the group’s expensive evening at the Moon Palace, and Qi Lingyu and Wang Zhengyang thanked him.
• Wang Zhengyang praised Chu Zimo’s perceptiveness, and Chu Zimo explained that his sisters handled the estate’s affairs while he enjoyed himself.

Lin Bai left the imperial palace and joined Tianshui Sect’s delegation on its way to Prince Liang’s Estate to help investigate the Chu royal clan and the Five Great Families and Seven Sects.

• The group saw the estate’s sparse, neglected grounds and went to the study to meet Prince Liang and discuss a countermeasure.

Lin Bai joined Prince Liang, the Zhao Xing Office, and the imperial guards to plan searches of residences belonging to Chu’s imperial clan and the Five Great Families and Seven Sects. He learned that the Zhao Xing Office had detailed records of the sects’ extensive property holdings, leaving the investigation poised to begin.

• Lin Bai read that Tianshui Sect owned more than a thousand properties in the capital and that its disciples owned more than two thousand private residences.
• Zhu Mo confirmed that the dossier was largely accurate, while Lin Bai realized how deeply the Zhao Xing Office had monitored the sects.

Prince Liang, Chu Tingxue, Lin Bai, and their allies discussed how to find the Four Gloom Demon Palace’s hidden members in the Imperial Capital without alerting them. They settled on a public show by Zhao Linbai and the Imperial Guards while Prince Liang’s Estate and Tianshui Sect secretly investigated likely candidates.

• Prince Liang distributed dossiers revealing the extensive businesses, estates, and connections held by the Five Great Families, Seven Sects, and royal family.
• Zhu Mo and Lin Bai warned that the number of people and properties made a complete investigation too slow and that an open search could alert the Four Gloom Demon Palace.
• Lin Bai asked Zhao Linbai to provide files on Four Gloom Demon Palace martial artists and anyone who had dealings with the royal family or the Five Great Families and Seven Sects.
• Prince Liang proposed that Zhao Linbai and the Imperial Guards stage a conspicuous operation while Prince Liang’s Estate and Tianshui Sect secretly identified and investigated suitable candidates.

The prince questioned Chu Tinghan about Prince Hong Estate’s downfall five thousand years earlier, after Zhu Mo revealed that Prince Liang’s Estate had supposedly exposed Prince Hong’s consort as a Four Gloom Demon Palace Darkhold. Chu Tinghan denied that version and hinted that the evidence had come from someone unexpected, while Zhu Mo agreed to seek permission to retrieve the classified files.

• Zhu Mo said Prince Liang’s Estate had exposed Prince Hong’s consort as a Four Gloom Demon Palace Darkhold, leading to Prince Hong’s death and Princess Chenxian’s punishment.
• The prince asked Chu Tinghan how Prince Liang’s Estate had learned the truth and whether the story that Chu Tinghan had acted to seize military power was accurate.
• Chu Tinghan said Prince Liang’s Estate had not discovered the consort’s identity and suggested someone had voluntarily delivered the evidence.
• Chu Tinghan asked the prince to guess who had provided the evidence, but the prince could not identify them.
• Zhu Mo said he needed Emperor Chu’s permission to retrieve the classified files, and Chu Tinghan urged him to obtain approval quickly.

Lin Bai questioned how Prince Liang had learned that Prince Hong's Princess Consort was a hidden agent, and suspected Chu Di had been behind the old case. Liang Wang and Prince Hong organized a new investigation into the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace, with the Blood Dragon Legion placed under Liang Wang's command.

• Lin Bai recalled that the records of the Prince Hong Estate case never explained how Prince Liang had uncovered the Princess Consort's identity.
• Prince Hong said he had never considered Prince Hong Estate a threat, while Huang Nan urged Lin Bai to ask Chu Di about the source of the old information.
• Prince Hong proposed retrieving the files on the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace and investigating the imperial family, four great clans, and one sect.
• Huang Nan led Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect to meet the nine commanders of the Blood Dragon Legion, who confirmed that the legion would serve under Lin Bai's command.
• Liang Wang and Prince Hong assigned troops to seal the city, search for Demon Palace remnants, and pressure them into revealing their safe locations.

Lin Bai questioned the nine Blood Dragon Legion commanders about the force he had been ordered to lead. After learning that their soldiers had extraordinary strength and were already scattered through the imperial capital, he began considering how to use them.

• Lin Bai introduced the nine commanders to the Marquis, then left them under the Marquis’s command and departed.
• The Marquis asked about the legion’s numbers and learned that each commander led ten thousand soldiers, while only the nine commanders were currently in the imperial capital.
• The commanders explained that Blood Dragon Legion soldiers gained strength through a different path than ordinary cultivation, but refused to reveal the secret behind it.
• The commanders said the legion’s soldiers had scattered throughout the imperial capital and could assemble whenever the Marquis gave an order.
• The nine commanders said they had abandoned their original identities and invited the Marquis to address them by serial numbers.
• The Marquis asked how to contact them, and the commanders pointed him to the Sword-Bearer Envoy token; he then ordered them to change out of their robes and follow him.

Lin Bai and his companions examined Zhao Xing Office dossiers revealing deep Nine Underworlds Demon Palace infiltration among the Chu State’s Five Great Families and Seven Sects, including the Tianshui Sect. The chapter ended with Zhu Mo defending the dossiers’ authenticity and warning that the Chu State could destroy the Tianshui Sect without resorting to fabricated charges.

• Prince Liang and the Zhao Xing Office obtained imperial permission and gathered dossiers on Nine Underworlds Demon Palace agents for Lin Bai and the others to review.
• Zhu Mo explained that the Zhao Xing Office secretly monitored suspected agents rather than arresting them, both to avoid alerting the Demon Palace and to respect the political understanding with the Five Great Families and Seven Sects.
• Lin Bai pointed out that the Zhao Xing Office’s extensive surveillance violated that understanding, and Zhu Mo urged everyone not to expose the unspoken arrangement.
• Bai Yifei found Tianshui Sect disciple Tang Wei listed as an agent, then discovered that several senior Tianshui Sect elders were listed as well.
• Lin Bai questioned whether the dossiers were genuine, and Zhu Mo insisted the Chu State had no need to fabricate evidence because it could simply wipe out the Tianshui Sect.

Lin Bai and Prince Liang examined the Zhao Xing Office’s list of suspected Nine Underworlds Demon Palace agents and identified suspicious connections involving Tianshui Sect disciple Tang Wei and Princess Li Guxian. Li Guxian became one of their main targets for investigation, though the evidence did not prove she was an agent.

• Lin Bai concluded that the names on the list were likely genuine because Chu had enough military strength to attack the sects directly.
• Lin Bai and Prince Liang prioritized Tianshui Sect disciples with Imperial Capital residences where unfamiliar martial artists had stayed, including Tang Wei.
• The group narrowed the suspects among Chu’s Five Great Families and Seven Sects to roughly two hundred people.
• Zhu Mo presented the imperial clan’s list, and Lin Bai noticed that Princess Li Guxian was included.
• Zhu Mo explained that many people who visited Li Guxian had ties to the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace, making her a major target despite the lack of proof that she was an agent.
