The Vermilion Bird Elder of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, Lü Jinduan, personally came to meet Master Sangjie, which was a significant gesture of respect.
Originally, during the Guanlong Demon Chaos, Pure Yang Palace suffered heavy casualties.

The former Green Dragon Elder perished during the Guanlong Demon Chaos. The new Green Dragon Elder, Rong Guangchen, was actually an old member. He even held a higher status than Sect Leader Huang Xuanpu and had been cultivating in seclusion before the calamity. After the palace's vitality was severely damaged, he re-emerged to take charge of the situation.
