A cold voice filled with undeniable authority immediately silenced the atmosphere.
The few who had spoken earlier now looked down, eyes on their noses, hearts on their thoughts, refraining from any further comments, though their gazes intentionally or unintentionally shifted toward Daoxing Heavenly Venerate.

"Now that the Haotian Mirror has chosen its master, even if we forcibly seize it, we will not gain its aid. Instead, we risk offending Qin Zheng, which would be far more detrimental than beneficial."
The young man furrowed his brow slightly, immediately countering: "How would we know if we don't even try? The Haotian Mirror has been in your hands for a million years—surely, there's some semblance of sentiment?"
