A Taoist, looking like a young boy, laughed, his voice sharp and unpleasant, saying: "With such a person, what skills can he possibly have? It's said that a good reputation is hard to live up to. With such mediocre means, it's better to quickly hand over Penglai Island, and let us safeguard the world's safety."
The numerous disciples of the Dongfang Clan, although lamenting their inability to leave Penglai on normal days, all took pride in it.
To be ridiculed for five hundred years of steadfastness, not only the youthful disciples, even some middle-aged members past thirty found their anger difficult to repress. However, they had no means to retaliate, as the Heavenly Secrets Technique of these Taoists, though different from the Dongfang Clan's, indeed reached profound depths; ordinary disciples were not their match.
