When the Charcoal Sword Cultivator took the Fake Buddha, Li Mo could still sense the location of the flying sword, influencing it through his divine powers regardless of the distance.
The Charcoal Sword Cultivator's words were clearly aimed at him.
Li Mo had already understood at the time that the existence of the Fake Buddha was impossible to conceal from high-level practitioners, so he decided to use the Heavenly Sword Sect's reputation to try and bluff his way through.
The outcome was somewhat wishful thinking.
Even though the Fake Buddha wasn't among the top-tier flying swords of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was enough to attract attention; the covert gazes observing it weren't limited to just Dragon Head Residence.
Li Mo had no choice but to draw the Heavenly Sword Sect's involvement, using the hands of the Sword Cultivators to safeguard the Fake Buddha.
