These words, spoken from the mouths of young people like Shen Zhiyuan and Su Li, are not to be trusted.
If Chen Tang were to say them, it would still arouse suspicion from others.
But when Mo Ming speaks, the weight is entirely different!
Just a mont ago, Mo Ming not only revealed the harm of Drunken Eight Immortals but also proved Chen Tang’s innocence.
Mo Ming’s gaze swept over Drunken Elder and several others, and he said solemnly, "I discovered the secret of Drunken Eight Immortals. First, I was targeted by Eastern Barbarian assassins, and nearly all of the disciples in dical Hidden Hall were either killed or injured."
"Luckily, Brother Chen Tang saved , and just after escaping dical Hidden Hall, we were pursued by Thunder Hall."
Mo Ming described his experiences from those days in full detail, not missing a single nuance.
When the crowd heard this, they began to connect many events.
"Utter nonsense!"
Thunder Hall Master defended, "The information my son received indicated there was a Dongyi Race Hermit there, and he took people to exterminate the Dongyi Race!"
Shopkeeper He sneered, "Elder Sun has already verified that Drunken Eight Immortals are harmless. dicine King Valley has a dical heritage of hundreds of years, famous across the Great Xia Dynasty long ago. Are you questioning dicine King Valley?"
Mo Ming said, "In terms of dical heritage, dicine King Valley is far superior to , holding the highest dical authority in the land. My achievents today are because I studied the dical works of Elder Sun from Great Xia’s dicine King."
The Great Xia dicine King he refers to is the ancestor of dicine King Valley from the era when the Divine Land was not divided into north and south.
Mo Ming looked at the current Valley Master of dicine King Valley and said solemnly, "That’s exactly why I believe Valley Master Sun will definitely discover the anomalies in Drunken Eight Immortals!"
"Because, when Five Stone Powder plagued the Great Xia Dynasty, it was the Great Xia dicine King who took charge and led the entire nation in completely eradicating Five Stone Powder!"
"Moreover, the Great Xia dicine King left a sentence in the ancient dical books: ’Upon encountering such a formula, it must be burned imdiately, not stored for long!’ Valley Master Sun, you should rember this sentence."
The Valley Master of dicine King Valley looked ashad, glanced at Drunken Elder, hesitated, and finally sighed deeply.
The reason he vouched for Drunken Immortal Tower was that he was indebted to Drunken Elder.
He must repay this debt.
But now, faced with Mo Ming’s questioning, involving the ancestor of dicine King Valley, he truly couldn’t speak, caught in a dilemma.
All the martial artists present have wandered the Jianghu for many years.
Just looking at the Valley Master’s attitude, they guessed the general situation.
This was enough to prove many things!
"Impossible!"
The Sect Leader of Water Moon Blade Sect exclaid, "I’ve been drinking Drunken Eight Immortals for many years, and my body is perfectly fine."
"Indeed!"
Guan Mountain Sect Leader said, "I’m most familiar with my own health. If Drunken Eight Immortals were poisonous, could I have survived until now?"
Among the crowd, besides the voices of these first-class sect leaders, other sect leaders gradually ca to support Drunken Immortal Tower.
Shopkeeper He sneered, "Mo Ming, all Jianghu fellows are clear-minded. How could they be deceived by your few words?"
Mo Ming looked around and said solemnly, "Five Stone Powder is highly addictive, and the toxins contained in the dicine can lead to chronic poisoning with prolonged use. The mild cases result in ntal decline, thinning and frail bones, leading to disability, while severe cases may even endanger life."
"Drunken Eight Immortals’ Eight Stone Powder is even more toxic; perhaps nothing can be seen in three to five years, but after that, the health will drastically deteriorate."
"I see your current states already deeply entangled, beyond control. If you don’t change course, you’ll regret it too late!"
Mo Ming earnestly advised, but again drew refutations from many sect leaders.
No one would publicly admit their addiction under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Moreover, if Drunken Immortal Tower falls, they won’t be able to drink Drunken Eight Immortals anymore.
"This matter sounds too bizarre."
Yun Yifeng said, "We also drank Drunken Eight Immortals, without noticing any problems."
Mo Ming said, "You are all Grandmaster-level experts in Entering the Divine State. Even if the Eight Stone Powder enters your body, it will easily be neutralized without causing harm."
Isle Master Yan Yang shook his head, "There’s still no explanation. With the old shopkeeper’s reputation in Jianghu, there’s no need for this."
"The old shopkeeper might not need it."
Just then, from the Sword Pavilion side, soone suddenly spoke up, calmly saying, "But the old shopkeeper has another identity, one of the four Grand Sacrificial Officers of the Profound Celestial Sect!"
The words fell, causing an uproar across the scene.
The people present more or less heard so information about the Profound Celestial Sect.
They know that under the two Sect Leaders of Profound Celestial Sect, there are four Grand Sacrificial Officers.
The four Grand Sacrificial Officers hold very high positions in the Profound Celestial Sect, with mysterious identities. It is said that every ti they appear, they wear bronze masks, and even Profound Celestial Sect mbers are unclear about their origins.
From the Sword Pavilion side, a tall middle-aged man walked out, his deanor calm and restrained, with deep eyes and graying temples, staring at the Drunken Elder, he said seriously, "Should I address you as the old shopkeeper or the Cold Food Grand Sacrificial Officer?"
All eyes turned to the Drunken Elder.
Even Yun Yifeng, Isle Master Yan Yang, Yue Zhen, and Yu Qingfeng glanced at the Drunken Elder, their expressions uncertain and surprised.
Before the Martial Arts Assembly, they had already discussed that they would advance and retreat together, jointly electing the Drunken Elder as Martial Arts Alliance Leader, with the four of them serving as deputy alliance leaders.
But the fact that they didn’t know about the Drunken Elder’s connection to the Profound Celestial Sect.
Moreover, he is a Grand Sacrificial Officer of the Profound Celestial Sect?
If this were true, it would be too shocking!
The Drunken Elder looked at the man and said indifferently, "You are the Sacrificial Officer of Profound Celestial Sect, Luoshan."
"That’s right!"
The newcor said solemnly, "Years ago, during the gathering of Profound Celestial Sect, I was fortunate enough to et the Grand Sacrificial Officer once. However, my real na is Ye Yun, I hail from Sword Pavilion!"
Ye Xuan said, "Ye Yun was the hidden agent my uncle planted in Profound Celestial Sect after the Battle of Huiji City."
"That’s right!"
The Drunken Elder nodded with a smile, "During the Battle of Huiji City, Brother Ye’s daughter was captured, his son-in-law brutally killed, his granddaughter went missing, yet he did not show up, nor took any subsequent action."
"People thought he was injured in the Battle of Xiajiang and was unable to seek revenge. But I know that with his character, he would never let Profound Celestial Sect go!"
The crowd was secretly shocked.
Listening to the implied aning of the Drunken Elder’s words, could it be that the Sword Sect is about to rise again and take action against the Profound Celestial Sect?
The Drunken Elder looked at Ye Yun and asked, "At that ti, I wore a bronze mask, how did you guess my identity?"
Those gathered felt a shock in their hearts.
The words of the Drunken Elder indicated an acknowledgent of the matter!
Thus it seems the rumors previously circulating from Chen Tang’s words about soone collaborating with the Eastern Barbarians, intending to seize control of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader and even inciting internal conflicts in the Jianghu, might all be true.
"I couldn’t guess."
Ye Yun shook his head and said, "Only later did I hear about the rumor of Drunken Eight Immortals and learned from my uncle one thing, Five Stone Powder back then was also known as Cold Food Powder."
"Drunken Eight Immortals originated from you, so there is no other Cold Food Grand Sacrificial Officer."
The Drunken Elder looked at Ye Xuan and suddenly asked, "Is the situation in the Capital City concluded?"
This question puzzled many who heard it.
"Report—"
Just then, a hurried shout ca from outside.
