"Now that the Heavenly Cave has calmed down, the Netherworld Prison won't launch a large-scale invasion.

If we don't kill them before they break through to the Immortal Realm, you and I will both be in danger in the future!"
The Seven-Leaf Heavenly Fiend of Hengfeng Mountain had come to Thousand Layers Mountain in his capacity as Hengfeng Mountain's Immortal Celestial Venerable, persuading Thousand Layers Mountain's Immortal Celestial Venerable to join forces and kill Xu Yan and Meng Chong.
