In this chapter, the mara Empress tells the young man named Guingshan that he is worthy of becoming a mara. The young man says that he will never threaten the life of his master, and that he has recognized the old man as his master from the moment he put him on. The old man tells him that his master has gone to a place where death is inescapable. The maras will not spare the soul of a powerful soul like that of a qiyan. The two young men, who are called nangong and yunwan, say that their parents died tragically when they were wards of qiyan, and their cultivation was sealed by him. They also say that every day of their lives was "worse than hell" because of their master's influence. They promise that they will find a way for them to help their master survive even if they die in battle
