Master Damo was also incredulous.
"I just want to ask you this: did you know in advance when I appeared in Demon City?"
Empress Shangguan Linglang did not directly answer Master Damo and Heavenly Emperor Yu Siang's question; instead, she turned to interrogate the two.

It wasn't until later, when Duo Ji really found you, that we became aware of your presence because we had long since cast a spell on Duo Ji. As soon as he found you, we would know."
