"You claim that you're not here on behalf of the orthodox sects, yet you're clearly a member of one of the orthodox sects – the Divine Dragon Sect – and you're friends with someone from the special police cultivator force.

Every year, you come up with new antidotes against our poisons, and when you assault us, you kill so many of our members. We have no choice but to come up with new strains in order to overcome your antidotes and stand a chance against the myriad pursuers from the orthodox sects!"
