After a brief pause, Haotian hurriedly said:
"Sect Master Tongtian!"
"I sincerely came to invite you out of respect for you."
"I don't think I did anything wrong in matters concerning the Heavenly Court."
"If you want to kill me, then go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Tongtian's expression grew even more severe, and killing intent filled his eyes.
But after reconsidering, he held himself back.

Then Haotian didn't linger. He swiftly left Penglai Immortal Island.
After Haotian had gone, Tongtian narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.
