This chapter's epigraph comes from the mouth of the "poison fire viper" . The poison fire viper is a beast that has contracted with the li clan to kill them. The li clan has been humiliated by the "disgraceful mutt" , and the "contracted spirit beast" has been unable to do anything about it. The pup is furious, and he demands that his master be killed immediately. He also demands that the other spirit beasts be brought out of their "beginner's zone" so that they can fight the "bad side" of the beast.
