The Great Serpent Chief came to the Southern Abyss specifically to guard the covert channel leading to that world within the Dark Abyss, a spatial rift with chaotic spatial currents, presenting a certain degree of danger...
His cave dwelling was carved into a cliff of the Dark Abyss. When Lu Nanfeng found this place, he did not enter directly but bowed with his fist in hand and cautiously explained his purpose.
His words were quite similar to those of Zhao Dongkun from the Wilderness Alliance.
The gist was that the Abyssal Fiend Organization had suffered a significant loss, its prestige damaged, and that various powers, big and small, would undoubtedly come to test the waters, vainly hoping to take their place.
If so, the Abyssal Fiend probably wouldn't be able to serve the Great Serpent Chief properly...
This was an overt scheme, and indeed, it was the truth. The Great Serpent Chief was idle anyway, and he did not take an Ice Peak leader seriously.
