"So why are they now overpowering us?"
Listening to Ji Yuan's question, Master Duocai replied meaningfully, "Because... they are of the Demon Dao."
Master Duocai pointed in the direction of the Ancestral Hall, "If the strongest Great Elder and Third Elder of our Water Dragon Sect were Demon Cultivators, would we still have a say?"
Ji Yuan smiled awkwardly. Some things Brother Li can say, but he cannot.
"You don't need to worry so much, kid. With the treasures the sect has rewarded you this time, your safety is ensured. Like that scale, if you use it and then come back for more, we'll give it to you. After all, it's what you deserve. But the book pages are truly gone."
Ji Yuan was about to speak.
But Master Duocai waved his hand, "No need to say more, just go back and cultivate well."
