The Great Desolate Immortal spoke in a deep voice: "The specific situation cannot be ascertained for the time being. However, it is easy to imagine that if the Palace of Immortals cannot find the true culprit, they will inevitably believe that I am responsible. I need to leave for a while to avoid the storm."
He paused, then added, "Matters within the Cult should be shelved for now. Do not repeat the mistake of Song Zhili; he was too anxious for results and overly aggressive, which is exactly what led to today's predicament."
Xu Changshi, who had remained silent until now, suddenly interjected: "Avoid the storm? Great Desolate Immortal, how can our Lingshen Cult fear a mere Palace of Immortals? If they intend to retaliate over this matter, we should fight back!"
