The Sovereign of the Eighth Hall used a communication jade slip to transmit the news back to the main hall of the Yama Palace that the mastermind had lured Tazhuo away from Fengdu City. Afterwards, he and the Sovereign of the Ninth Hall concealed their figures and quietly followed right behind Tazhuo.
The Sovereign of the First Hall said to the remaining six brothers beside him:
"They have already followed them. You don't need to stay here either. Go back and keep an eye on your respective territories to see where their base camp is actually located. Seventh Brother will concurrently look after Eighth Brother's territory, and I will personally keep an eye on Little Nine's territory."
"Understood, Eldest Brother!"
After the six brothers acknowledged the order, they each left. Only the Sovereign of the Second Hall lingered behind. Once everyone else had left the main hall, he asked:
"Eldest Brother, after listening to Fairy Jian's analysis earlier, I went back and thought about it some more, and I feel there are some loopholes. I remember Eldest Brother previously saying that the chief culprit, Chen Hai, had already suffered a divine demise, and that you saw it with your own eyes. So how can we be certain now that it is he who is scheming against Tazhuo's raw soul?"
