The remaining rock demons fled, humiliated that lost to puny humans; Huang LiWei overly remorseful with the loss of his wife, lost his zest to fight, he realized his folly and regretted his choice. Without any defence, weak with sadness, he did not detect the mutated humans and with humans amplified with demon blood power, Huang LiWei was suppressed and was caught.

Huang LiWei's powers were being subdued by the crazed humans, by being tortured with thousand cuts and drained of his blood, too weak for him to invisible and escape. The captors wanted the secret to immortality and the beautiful fairy was a bonus for them. The elders tried to keep the news about Huang LiWei being captured a secret from the womenfolk and HeQiu, but a bigger problem loomed. Heavens and Underworld became involved in this catastrophe within the mortal's realm that Huang LiWei had created.

From the Underworld, the King of Underworld, Overlord of Demons and Devils, Lu Jieke, had gotten news that their kind was hunted and killed by humans, and became insulted. The Celestials had investigated and found out that there was an unknown new immortal that instigated the humankind mess and disorder was part of the elusive Gold Fairy Clan.

Lu Jieke wanted to take Huang LiWei to question him and punish him for being the main cause of shame, also found out Heaven's interest in their prey and tried to capture Huang LiWei before the Celestials. It had become a race for both Heavens and Hells to acquire Huang LiWei, in order to further study the Gold Fairy Clan mystery.

Lim HeQi wanted to save Huang LiWei from being captured by any of the immortals, but Qiu MarKe and Li YiKuang stopped him as HeQiu would be suspicious and need him just in case if there was a breach and needed a strong man's ability to fight intruders. Qiu MarKe together with his sons-in-law, HuoRi and HuoYue went to the human realm to retrieve the person of interest of the various immortals.

HuoRi and HuoYe were just a few years being immortals but they had been trained by the wily Qiu MarKe since young of espionage, infiltration, and dexterous skills. Their mission was to recover or kill if Huang LiWei were to land in enemies' hands. They had expected worst to happen and the risks of Huang LiWei revealing their secrets were high. Although all the son in laws, had taken an oath and had sincerely wanted to protect the secrecy of the womenfolk, they were still worried Huang LiWei's state of mind from torture and if he held grudges of his wife taken away.

Huang LiWei was at first saved by Celestials from the tortures he suffered from the turned humans. Leading the Celestials, was the High God of North Skies, he came with Heavenly force and pure white light from the skies to defeat the abomination of humankind. It was a short fight and the High God went back to Heavens to report leaving his army to deal with Huang LiWei.

The Celestials had overestimated their power and gave in to Huang LiWei's request to recuperate in mortal realm before taking him to the Heavenly realm. Huang LiWei had sincerely thanked them before he fainted to deep sleep to recuperate. He detected the other immortal presence to be demon kind and realized that he was merely a pawn. Before he could successfully escape another abduction, a powerful demon seized him and teleported him swiftly to the Underworld.

Pushed to the ground to kneel in front of the menacing Lu Jieke, Huang LiWei, a monarch by bloodright and his own might, faced the fearsome ruler of Hells. It was out of his imagination that the Dark Emperor of Underworld and King of Hell did not look as he had imagined, having only seen the rock demons. By determination and grit did not sway and deter Huang LiWei from revealing anything.

The court of hell wanted to know his source of immortality and size of the clan, and who are the people in his clan. Huang LiWei desperate to protect his wife and wife's family that he owed, would not bow down to the authority of the Dark Emperor of Underworld.
Lu JieKe's minions had tried many ways to loosen Huang LiWei's mouth from persuasion and luring with promises of wealth and power. These were what he was blinded from previously, and now he could only bitterly regret and laugh off at before being dragged into the lower realms of hells to the dungeons of torture. There Huang LiWei bleakly looked out into the small window, accepting to his fate.

First, they had threatened to mince him up to small pieces but since they needed him to talk, the order came down to approving the removal of his limbs. They used the hell's fire to burn the stumps so as an immortal, so, they could not generate back. Screams of pains echoed down the dungeons of torture, the hell's minions gave him a day to think before to talk before they remove his arms the next day.

Qiu MarKe, together with his sons-in-law, had already arrived in hells, having to track down Huang LiWei from getting information around. They wanted to wait for the right moment to sneak Huang LiWei off without being detected and was about to unchain Huang LiWei from his chains when they heard sounds. Huang LiWei never had thought the Gold Peach Clan would risk coming to save him and had a glimmer of hope, before the hell's minions cleaned him a little and dragged him to their Dark Emperor of Underworld.

Out of everyone's expectations, Lu Jieke, took out his magical item, Truth Bell. This Truth Bell was kept securely and was ironically given to Hell for the exchange of peace, and this bell was capable of getting complete truth in half incense time (30minutes) from any kind of immortals. Hell's court was dispersed and only left with the Dark Emperor of Underworld and his trusted general, Ji DuLi, an armored large demon, exuding powerful cold aura; Lu Jieke did not want his people to know that this was a one-time usage.

His general had at first questioned him the origins of these mysterious artifacts, but Lu Jieke only casually said that they were offered by a mysterious clan. Lu Jieke did not like to know there were things or creatures that he did not know of, he vowed to get to the bottom of this and he would then have more magical items, as strong as his magical artifacts at his disposal.

Using the bell, the Dark Emperor of Underworld and general, got to find out where the Gold Peach Clan sacred mountain was, and who the elders were, most importantly, the beautiful fairies more beautiful than imagination and whom could bring men power. With so many wonderful news laid out in a platter for Lu Jieke, he found using the Truth Bell was more than worthy for such an exchange.

Before he could find out how to enter the impregnable mountain, Huang LiWei was suddenly turned invisible and disappeared from their own surprised eyes. Not many things can surprise the battle experienced general and the world-weary Dark Emperor of Underworld and they found out they had just been slighted heavily by the Gold Peach Fairy Clan.
