"I've heard it was Fellow Daoist Yang leading people to my Zhou Family; this old man feels both disappointed and relieved!"
"Fellow Daoist Yang and this old man have been acquainted for over a hundred years. Although we're on different sides now, I believe our friendship still exists."
"I am now two hundred and thirty-five years old, with little remaining lifespan. At this age, even if I were to take a couple of fellow daoists with me to the Netherworld, I wouldn't be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs!"
"It's just that, although I can die, I worry that you fellow daoists might take it out on the innocent mortals of the Zhou Family due to my actions of perishing together. After much thought, I've decided to end myself, to preserve the achievements of you fellow daoists!"
"I sincerely hope that Fellow Daoist Yang and you fellow daoists, in light of Zhou Minghan's sincerity, adhere to the rules of war among us cultivators and do not harm ordinary mortals."
