"Even if you haven't reached the Golden Core stage, you can still have your heart gouged out. Do you really think an evil entity that harvests hearts would spare you just because you haven't reached the Golden Core stage?"
"Perhaps someone from another sect has been dabbling in crooked paths. Father, Mother, you are just being too nervous."
"I truly wish it were just us being overly nervous, but these incidents are not isolated. Beyond our own sect, which has yet to suffer any casualties, other sects have seen disciples suffer from having their hearts and cores removed. Furthermore, it wasn't just disciples; even an Out-of-Body Stage elder of the Beast Taming Sect had their core harvested. This demonstrates that the cultivation of this evil entity should not be underestimated. For the sake of our sect and the safety of the entire Cultivation World, we must remain vigilant."
