Shui Hetong naturally had the right to speak such words.
He and the Wind and Rain Tower held a transcendent status in the Jianghu because of Immortal Bai's existence. Even though the cultivators within the tower had varying levels of strength, they were highly respected when roaming the Jianghu. In earlier years, it would not have been an exaggeration to call the Wind and Rain Tower the current Martial Arts Alliance Leader.
Although the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader no longer existed, those who hailed from the Wind and Rain Tower were mostly Zhong Zheng, fiercely loyal, and uncompromising in their sense of right and wrong. Perhaps this was due to Immortal Bai's influence, or perhaps it was the result of the tower masters leading by example.
In short, they were the type to draw their Blades to help whenever they saw an injustice on the road. As one of the tower masters, Shui Hetong was naturally no exception.
