Taizai Ci screamed in frenzy, vainly trying to shake the enormous container that imprisoned him.
Hua Kongque was silent for a long time before saying, "First, I want to make one thing clear, I don't entirely agree with you."
"I know."
"Secondly, I want to say, I have come, but I will never be a part of the same faction as you, just as the Path of the Ancient Swordsman, ancient martial arts, spiritual array...I only ever draw references from them."
"I know."

A surge of ecstasy erupted across Taizai Ci's face.
Hallmaster Dao, you truly are my Hallmaster Dao!
I knew it, my loyalty was not misplaced, you can surely persuade this madman, right?
The tear-stained young man slowly shook his head, saying solemnly and sadly,
"Hallmaster Dao Qiongcang, as you know... this is far from sufficient."
