The Six Heavenly Demon Kings and Dragon Demon King's band of brothers did not share a bond of Life and Death Dependence.
Under ordinary circumstances, if they encountered Macaque King in such a state, the six demons might well have tested whether they could seize his Dao.
But now, like homeless dogs, they had been beaten and wounded by the World-Opening Primordial Spirit.

All twelve demons understood this principle.
Seeing Macaque King and Sin Demon grievously injured, they spared no cost in treating them.
Once the two were no longer in mortal danger and had regained some ability to fight, the demons discussed the matter and decided that no matter where they hid, there was a chance they would be found.
