As for why the Forty Star Ocean Pirates came to Penglai Island to cause trouble, it's not something he can know.
Such matters involve the core information of Penglai Island's upper echelons. Being only a Guest Elder, unless required to act, it's none of his concern.
However, the tree wishes for stillness, but the wind never ceases.
Soon, rumors spread throughout the Starry Sky Sea and Penglai Immortal City about the capture of the Desert Sea Crocodile God by the Goddess Palace's Guest Elder, the Gnostic Shenmu Taoist.
This indicated that the newly entered Guest Elder of the Goddess Palace owned a Fourth Rank Puppet.
There were even rumors claiming the Gnostic Shenmu Taoist was a spy from the Six Paths Palace, deliberately using such events to gain the trust of the Goddess Palace.
"A Fourth Rank Puppet!?"
"How can a Core Formation Cultivator possess a Fourth Rank Puppet?"
"Gnostic Shenmu Taoist, a late-stage Core Formation Cultivator, how come I've never heard of this person?"
