Coming to the East Wasteland this time wasn't Jin Zihua's intention. The Celestial Evil Sect and his sect are mortal enemies. This time, the Xuanyang Monarch acted covertly, not showing his true form, only dispatching avatars, thinking it was done without anyone knowing. But he didn't anticipate that there were already skilled people in Jin Zihua's sect who divined some clues and specially sent Jin Zihua to the East Wasteland to thwart Xuanyang Monarch's plans and intercept midway.
Intercepting is precisely what Jin Zihua loves to do; he enjoys doing bad things, loves seeing others in desperation and frustration—one of life's joys for him on his long journey.
It's exactly because of this that he's willing to take on this task, not minding the long journey to this extremely distant East Wasteland.
Jin Zihua is extremely evil by nature, unpredictable with his moods. To everyone's surprise, he actually took in two apprentices, not treating them as toys, but genuinely teaching them.
