Pop says that he is still unable to defeat the Heavenly Eagle soldiers, despite his growing strength. He asks if the two of them are alright, and says that although yuning was able to overcome, he was unable to do so. He tells them that he will be the one who avenges their father's death, and that they should stop going any further. He also tells them not to worry about going a step further, and tells them to forget about killing yunming and xia lying. He says he has not fully healed from his injuries, and he is also without someone to help him. He adds that it is a good thing that the emperor does not care whether he lives or dies, because it means that they cannot apprehend him alive
