In the meantime while Xu Fang was distressing that no one could repel Ziya, a Taoist arrived, he was Lu Yue. When Ziya's followers saw Lu Yue, they all clenched their teeth, because Lu Yue had caused them to suffer a great deal. They attacked Lu from different directions and wounded him badly. After several days Lu's friend Chen Geng came to join him. They had trained a deployment called Plague Trap. Ziya remembered the poem that Primogenitor had written for him. A line in the poem was "At the Chuanyun Pass, you will suffer from Plague Trap." He was very apprehensive. Master Cloud Dweller came to take Ziya's place for one hundred days. Lu Yue and Chen Geng arranged twenty one plague umbrellas in the trap and asked Ziya to attack. Master Cloud Dweller put spells on Ziya's back, chest and cape, then put a pill in his pocket. After Ziya came in, Lu Yue deployed the Plague Trap. While he became unconscious, a black mist surrounded him and black sands fell and covered him. Every day, Lu Yue intoned spells and spread sands on him. Lu Yue recommended that Xu Fang send Feihu and the other three captured generals to King Zhou. Fang Yizhen was the one chosen as chaperon. Yang Ren was sent down with his freshly completed magic fan called Five-spiritual-fire Fan. He met Fang Yizhen and, with just one fan, Fang was burnt into ashes and blown away. Yang released Feihu and the others. He told them to stay within the pass until came help at some time. Then he went to see King Wu and Master Cloud Dweller.
