Emperor Song He led Chen Ping'an to a Great Li Jia-character Secret Vault, saying that the court had long prepared a congratulatory gift.
The two Luopo Mountain enshrinees, Xiao Mo and Xie Gou, no longer concealed their tracks and followed behind them. One was Fourteenth Realm, the other Ascension Realm, acting as bodyguards.
