"Elder Jian is right, but doing so would break the balance among the four great Immortality Cultivation families, and the Dongyan family would certainly be put in an awkward position. Does the Elder really think the Dongyan family is unaware of Jiao Hai's existence? It's just that he hasn't touched upon their interests, so they choose to turn a blind eye."
