Why did Mo Hua make it sound so real?
With his manner and bearing, where was the old Mo Hua—the sharp-tongued one whose little mouth seemed smeared with poison?
His aura was lofty and ethereal; heavenly words flowed from his lips, and he carried himself with noble dignity. It felt as though an "immortal" had possessed him, turning him into a Venerable One who carried out the Heavenly Dao by its mandate...
Something was off, wasn't it?
Bai Xiaosheng stared in astonishment.
Gu Changhuai was shaken as well.
He knew Mo Hua had always been glib-tongued and skilled at deceiving people, but he had never seen him put on such a "mysterious and noble" charlatan's act.
For a moment, he even wondered whether Mo Hua had truly worked some unknown "profession" in the past...
As for General Chang, stormy waves were already crashing through his heart.
Ascendant Immortal Sect.
The True Person Sect Master carried out the Heavenly Dao and saved all living beings.
Boundless blessings and virtue, a path to heaven, the way of immortality...
The moment one heard those titles, they seemed to exude an aura of transcending the mortal world, mysterious and ethereal.
Anyone associated with such things was either a true great cultivator who understood immortality and the Dao—or an out-and-out swindler...
General Chang glanced at Mo Hua's group of three. After pondering for a moment, he finally cupped his hands in salute and said:
"Honored by the former master's regard, this old man is advanced in years, exhausted in body and strength. I truly cannot shoulder such a Heavenly Dao responsibility of saving all people."
"I ask that the former master choose another worthy and wise candidate, entrust them with this grave duty, and thereby set the world right and achieve boundless merit."
