The man in black traveled through time and space with Leng Qingqiu and Xiao Mingzhu, arriving in the blink of an eye at a resplendent, magnificent hall.

The old Dragon King was rather courteous. With a voice like a booming bell, full of vigor and the official tone of one long accustomed to power, he said, "Golden Lotus Fairy, you have suffered at the hands of the Underwater Demon King, Xiangliu. Now that we have rescued you, there is a matter I wish to discuss. Hurry and untie the Fairy’s bonds."
