The Sky Lusting Sect Leader had been released by Shi Feiyang, and their fates were directly linked. Though a greater disaster was averted, the Sky Lusting Sect Leader's every sin bore some responsibility upon Shi Feiyang.
Had the four major masters of Buddhism and Dao not arrived today, Shi Feiyang would have eventually needed to handle it himself, hunting down and destroying every avatar of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader.
Of course, the disciple, Demon Corpse Gu Chen, of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader was slain by Master Changmei with the Seven Sword Heart Execution. His nephew, Xuanyuan Dharma King, was thoroughly defeated by the Emei Sect at the Illusion Wave Pool.
Therefore, after his resurrection, the first enemy he had to face was the Emei Sect; these four great masters were either bound by karma or owed favors to Master Changmei from back in the day, and thus had to intervene.
