"Naturally, it is because the distance between Bright Moon Heavenly City and the Blood Fiend Ancestor’s secret realm exceeds three hundred miles. I cannot control the blood puppet from such a distance, and the back-and-forth travel is inconvenient for my own cultivation, as I need to return here to absorb the Heavenly Dao spiritual energy."

"The True Inheritor selection is coming up soon. Who knows how many eyes are fixed on our cave abode? The fact that you were captured and imprisoned by the Blood Fiend Ancestor must never be exposed; otherwise, the gossip would be devastating, and it would severely impact your competition for the True Inheritor position. Furthermore, I am currently suffering from heavy injuries; I absolutely cannot let anyone see my weakness, or I fear some unfortunate events might unfold. Since Moya Market already has a contact point set up by the demon-slaying squads, us stationed here for a while won't give anyone cause for suspicion."
