"You claim that you're not here on behalf of the orthodox sects, yet you're clearly a member of one of the orthodox sects – the Divine Dragon Sect – and you're friends with someone from the special police cultivator force. Are you seriously telling me you're unaware of the orthodox sects' constant attacks on us? They're always seeking to exterminate the Black Venom Cult, drive us deeper underground." He paused, his eyes hard. "It's not as if we want to make new poisons, but you forced our hands. Every year, you come up with new antidotes against our poisons, and when you assault us, you kill so many of our members. We have no choice but to come up with new strains in order to overcome your antidotes and stand a chance against the myriad pursuers from the orthodox sects!"
