This chapter opens with a description of the "pseudo-dragon" who has murdered people in the street. The narrator tells us that the emperor has been bullying his mother for a long time, so his mother has been paying assassins to kill her. This is all part of her plan to "avenge her sister." The narrator then tells us about how he and the others accidentally arrived at the door of the underground, where they could see the dragon weapon. This time, however, the emperor refused to tell them the truth about his sister. He seems to be in love with the empress, so they have to find out the truth from the past. The sound of elder tian's voice is heard outside the door, and the sound of the dragon's power is heard in the underground passage. It's clear that the dragon is coming from the underground. The walls of the room are covered in scratches and bloodstains. The air in the room is filled with "a pungent stench" and the air is covered with a "scentful stench" . It seems that the "legendary graceful and unique" empress has been locked alone in the dark room. This upsets the narrator, who has come to see her mom.
