At this moment, Lin Xuance keenly sensed Xiao Jie's approach, suddenly turned to look at him, and smiled slightly, temporarily suppressing the heavy topic from before: "Oh? Is that you, Daoist Sui Feng? When did you return? Was your journey to the Netherworld successful?"
Xiao Jie entered the pavilion, first cupping his hands in salute to the three, then sighed: "Fairly successful, I managed to retrieve the souls of some old friends and help them reincarnate. However, this trip to the Netherworld also allowed me to witness an impending catastrophe firsthand! The Netherworld seems on the brink of total collapse, a calamity from which there may be no return!"
He then recounted his experiences in the Netherworld, especially emphasizing with some embellishment the problems described by Yama: the amassed grievances, the growing power of the Netherworld Emperor, and the imminent crisis of the Sea of Reincarnation being breached.
