Wukong utilized the Eastern Emperor Bell to restore the Supreme Holy Mother's Six Souls Banner, while the protector mosquito went to invite the Nether River Patriarch.
Arriving above the Blood River, someone came forward to welcome him and led him to the Nether River Patriarch's presence.
Seated upon a lotus platform, the Nether River Patriarch looked at the approaching protector mosquito, already aware of his mission. After all, sooner or later, he would have to confront Sun Wukong, so the timing made little difference. One who accepts a person's gifts is beholden to them. Having received the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons banner from the mosquito protector, he could not simply think about reaping benefits without giving something in return.
The mosquito protector said, "The Buddhist sect lost this time, but we cannot afford to lose again in the second battle. I implore the Patriarch to lend his support."
