Daoist Wen, Daoist Shen, and Immortal Lu had now arrived outside the Imperial Capital. They had originally come from Despair Slope, intending first to seek out Feng Ruotong in the underworld. After joining with Feng Ruotong and other Immortals of the Heavenly Dao, they would form a group of eight Immortals to conquer Chen Shi and Lady Houtu, thus ensuring their success.
However, just as the three left Despair Slope, they received a message from the Heaven Listeners that Feng Ruotong and the others were near Qianyang Mountain.
They immediately headed to Qianyang Mountain, but by the time they arrived, Feng Ruotong had already gone to Xinxiang Imperial City, so they rushed to the outside of the Imperial Capital.
Yet the power of the Heaven Listeners could not penetrate the Imperial Capital, so the three were unaware of what had happened to Feng Ruotong after entering the city.
