The instant Meng Hao crushed the Violet Furnace Lord medallion, the moment his Violet Furnace Lord robe began to fade away, something happened in the State of Eastern Emergence, Violet Fate Sect, East Pill Division, on Grandmaster Pill Demon's low mountain.
In one particular building were three racks of jade slips.
On the third rack were nine jade slips. Upon each slip was written a name, and if you looked closely, you would see that they belonged to the nine great Furnace Lords, An Zaihai, Ye Feimu, and the others. These were all of Pill Demon's novitiates.
There was only one jade slip on the second rack. This one belonged to Chu Yuyan, his Personal Apprentice.
The first rack also contained one jade slip, upon which was written two characters. Fang Mu!
