The Sect Leader's words immediately caused the atmosphere in the room to cool down once again.
"I know my words are unpleasant, but the Sect Leader of the Saint Sect isn't chosen to speak sweet nothings. The Saint Sect belongs to the world, and this saying has been passed down in Xiangzhou for two thousand years. When I was young, I often marveled at the selflessness of the Saint Sect... However, no matter how great the selflessness, placed in a broader context it becomes extreme selfishness. I just never thought I'd actually see this day. My duty is to protect the interests of the people of Xiangzhou, and rescuing the survivors in the Chaotic Void does more harm than good to Xiangzhou now, so I cannot agree."
