The Cloud Pot Daoist summoned a disciple from White Cloud Village, instructing him to spread rumors and undermine Ning Zhuo's reputation.
The disciple's expression turned strange.
The Cloud Pot Daoist's heart stirred: "Speak, what's the situation?"
The disciple bowed and said, "Just last night, Ning Zhuo invited Shen Xi, Lin Jinglong, Situ Xing, Mu Yuehua, and several Confucian Cultivators from the Myriad Images Sect to witness the sealing of the Red Robe Guest's corpse and relics before everyone."
"He even confessed publicly that the Red Robe Guest had lent him the Blood Ash Tinder during his lifetime. Ning Zhuo solemnly declared that he would try to rescue the Red Robe Guest's soul. If the soul returns, the corpse, the relics, personal treasures, and the Blood Ash Tinder will be returned to the Red Robe Guest!"
The Cloud Pot Daoist and others looked at each other in dismay.
Their initial excitement was scattered by the morning wind in the mountains.
