Chapter Summaries

Lin Suyun and the other Immortal Palace martial artists were trapped by corpse-poisonous creatures and discovered the azure pearl could protect only one person. Jiang Changkong and Nether Dragon entered the coral forest, where Nether Dragon fed on the dead creatures, and Shui Qin’s confidence faltered when a gray snake bit her ankle.

• Shui Qin taunted Lin Suyun and claimed the dead creatures would not attack her, but a gray snake suddenly bit her ankle.

Jiang Changkong and the Nether Dragon lured Lin Suyun’s group to Shui Qin’s group, hoping the two sides would weaken each other. After a fierce battle poisoned them all, the groups stopped and began discussing cooperation, with Lin Suyun demanding to know why Shui Qin had a token.

• Lin Suyun agreed that cooperation might be possible but questioned Shui Qin’s token, and Shui Qin replied that there had been two tokens from the start.

Lin Suyun and Shui Qin joined forces to enter the sea clan royal palace, while Jiang Changkong and Nether Dragon followed them. They found the halls empty and reached the Sea Dragon Hall, where another empty chamber left the groups suspicious of one another.
