Seeing the hook and sword, Mo Xiang exclaimed with joy, "Elder Brother Yuan has arrived!"
No sooner had he spoken these words than the newcomer was already overhead, deploying the hook and sword in combat against the Ape Demon.
It was indeed Yuan Hua!
Years ago, after being slain by Su Yin, the chief disciple under Master You Tan, and reaching the state of a Ghost Immortal through his soul, Yuan Hua had the fortunate coincidence to come under Shi Feiyang's tutelage. First, he received the Daoist books and swords left behind by his past-life master, the Green-Haired True Master Liu Lao Gen, and then he visited Outer Heaven Divine Mountain with Shi Feiyang. Over the years, he had jointly managed the Demon Kingdom with Jin Xunu.
Jin Xunu was a Heavenly Official, responsible for astronomy and calendars, establishing rites and laws based on astrological observations and infrequently showing himself before people, with Yuan Hua handling all the specific tasks.
