• Chilongzi and Mo Wentian tried to dissuade the Demon Lords, but the three insisted on attacking the Xu Household, so Xu Mingwei stayed to face them while Xu Mingqing led the clan and the townspeople to shelter in the Azure Sea Forest.

Mo Wentian and Chilongzi tried to protect the Xu Household by warning the demon lords about its ties to powerful Southern Heaven factions, but the Nine Nether Sparrow exposed their weak position and battle broke out.
