Chapter Summaries

Hun Changqing and Medusa entered the Nine Netherworld Python Clan’s domain and discovered the little green snake had become a Half-Saint and taken control of the clan. After she welcomed Hun Changqing as “Daddy,” she detonated a hidden attack inside him, and he survived long enough to recognize Qing Lin as the true threat behind it.

• Hun Changqing resolved to strengthen himself before the Dragon Islands gathered three years later, when he hoped to use the Three Great Dragon Kings and their forces' corpses to overcome the bottleneck.

• The aged elder fled toward the hall and called for Hun Miesheng, who stopped the dragons and emerged through a black fissure to threaten the attackers.
