Amidst the rustling sound of the bronze ancient boat crushing star sand, the tribulation mark on Su Jiuli’s fingertips flickered on and off. Dark golden marrow fluid seeped from the carvings on the hull, coalescing into three hundred and sixty bronze rings of an armillary sphere. The starlight flowing between the interlocking rings revealed an eerie scene: the phantom of a twelve-tailed Celestial Fox, its throat bones pierced by bronze chains, was pinned to a Taotie pillar on the altar at the bottom of the abyss.

The fangs of the Taotie pattern on the coffin lid grew violently, tearing through the Wu Clan funerary shroud wrapped around the casket. As the scraps of fabric drifted, they revealed blood-red characters—they were fragments of the Marriage Contract torn to pieces by Lin Xuan’s own hands three years ago!
