The demon tells the elder huang to let go of the giant puppets. He explains that he has studied the solution of the formation before, but that he cannot do it because he does not know how to decipher it. He tells the brat that he will kill him on the spot if he speaks too quickly. The battle of death will mean that all the people connected to innate energy must fight each other, until only one survivor is left. The brat should worry about himself first, the demon tells him. He says that he dares the brat to lay his finger on him if the word about what happened here gets out. He adds that he would rather lend his power to the brat than let them see any good stuff. The demon says that everyone will die, one strand of energy will break apart, and finally there are only three strands of energy left connecting everyone. The old man will die soon anyway, he says, because he only has two options: he can kill the brat with his sword or he can try to defeat the demon with nothing but the eagle. The only way he can defeat the old man is by burning his innate energy.
