After hearing Tie Shu out, Shi Feiyang said bluntly, "There is absolutely no chance of getting those Nine Demon Heads back. I stayed here to wait for you because I have a deal to make with you. But judging by your attitude, you're incapable of calmly listening to reason."
Tie Shu flew into a rage. "What did you say? Absolutely no chance? You dare seize our sect's God-Demons? Are you tired of living? Know this: our sect has hells. Once your soul is cast down into them, you'll suffer something far worse than death."

His "Iron City Mountain" took its name from the hellish "Great Iron Ring Mountain" described in the Buddhist Ksitigarbha Sutra. Within it, great hells contained middle hells, and middle hells contained lesser hells, almost without end. The Demon Heads imprisoned there were beyond counting.
