After returning to his cave abode, Liu Changxu gathered his wives and children to discuss their next steps.
When Liu Changxu told them that the Northern Nether Immortal Palace was preparing to retreat, Huang Yuqiang, Huang Yuwei, and the others all looked horrified.
None of them could imagine that the Northern Nether Immortal Palace, the overlord of the immortal domain, would abandon the foundations it had built over hundreds of millions of years and choose to withdraw.

His son Liu Fubao asked anxiously.
"I'll take you all with me and withdraw alongside Senior Bai Xuefeng, Palace Master Xiao Ziwei, and the others. For now, just stay in the Ruyi Lotus Disc and put your minds at ease!"

Seeing that Liu Changxu had already made his decision, everyone nodded in agreement.
After the meeting ended, Liu Changxu brought his wives and sons, along with all three thousand cultivators of the Demon Suppression Guard, into the Ruyi Lotus Disc.
Then Liu Changxu personally visited Palace Master Xiao Ziwei to confirm the withdrawal arrangements once more.

Since the Northern Nether Immortal Palace had only arranged a retreat for its own disciples and had planned no escape route for the outside cultivators, countless cultivators rushed about seeking information, frantic as ants
