However, when the pair located the whereabouts of this father and son, they discovered things were not quite that simple.

The heroic Kou Zhong summoned the suspended blood sphere in mid-air into his hand, wanting to pass it backward to Xu Ziling, but his movements grew increasingly sluggish.
Under the obstruction of the Underworld Wind Immortal Monarch, the sword-light's piercing glare was ultimately weakened a fraction. Seizing this moment of waning power, the Mist Shadow Immortal Monarch gritted his teeth through another wave of injury, drew upon a breath of his fundamental vital essence, and conjured a wispy layer of mist to block right in front of the sword-light.
The Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit and the Jade Pipasprite were greedy for the wealth and glory of the mortal world.
