Two peak masters are gravely injured, and Senior brother Deming is engaged in a fierce battle with a devil emperor.

The three guardian elders exchanged glances, a concerned expression appeared on each of their faces. They listened attentively as Shui Liying provided a brief account of the events unfolding at the Yellow Stone City and the urgency of their mission.
After Shui Liying finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, as the guardian elders deliberated amongst themselves. Finally, the elder who had initially spoken, the one sitting at the extreme left, spoke again.
