"Ah, it seems Senior truly is a reclusive master of great power! You really know very little about the outside world. The reason the Desolate Mountain Sect is able to go toe-to-toe with my Pampering Heaven Sect is entirely because of our Sect Master, Desolate Daoist! Desolate Daoist is an extraordinarily transcendent figure who stands on equal footing with our Sect Master, and the sect masters of the other three sects simply cannot compare to the two of them. As for why the Pampering Heaven Sect dares to call itself number one under heaven, firstly, our foundation runs deeper and our history as a sect is much longer; secondly, our overall strength surpasses that of the newly risen Desolate Mountain Sect. But when it comes to the absolute pinnacle of power, it is hard to say whether the Pampering Heaven Sect's Master or the Desolate Mountain Sect's Master is stronger. It is said that our Sect Master once fought Desolate Daoist, but no one knows who won—perhaps the match ended in a draw."
Yi Hong explained.
"I see. That being said, the strength of that old crone from just now must be vastly inferior to this so-called Desolate Daoist?"
