"True, some islands have indeed defected to the Wuyue Sect for their own interests, but many were simply forced by the circumstances, having no intention of actively supporting the Wuyue Sect. Yet, it's you, Hou Chou, that I've heard time and again targeting those rich islands, plundering all their resources and even capturing the cultivators on the island to enslave them. By doing so, you are tarnishing the reputation of our East Sea Alliance!" the Merfolk man rebuked.
"Hmph, reputation? Can reputation help us defeat the Wuyue Sect, can it help us break through the Red Blood Red Sand Formation? War relies on strength! Without plundering resources, what are my men supposed to eat and use? Should I have my people do those miscellaneous tasks instead of capturing slaves?" Hou Chou of the Water Ape Clan retorted coldly.
