The old Daoist spoke slowly, "I am the Temple Master's junior brother."
"Really?" Shen Bai asked.
The old Daoist nodded. "It's the truth. I am indeed the Temple Master's junior brother. He simply imprisoned me here. I can only leave once the aberration is dispelled."
Shen Bai stroked his chin. "Why were you imprisoned here?"
He was a bit puzzled.
If what the old Daoist said was true, there had to be a reason.
'To be imprisoned by the Temple Master... ' Shen Bai figured that must mean there was a big secret involved.
The old Daoist glanced at the ten-zhang-high aberration, and the aura around him changed.
A subtle, icy aura began to emanate from the old Daoist.
"My senior brother... so foolish!" the old Daoist said.
"Using all the disciples as a sacrifice, sending the Celestial Purity Daoist Temple into a steep decline—that was a terrible move, in my opinion."
"We had conflicting philosophies. I tried to stop him, and for that, he imprisoned me here."
