If they say that the Phoenix Blood Stone is a counterfeit, that wouldn't be the case, considering the crime scene is right here, with bona fide stones soaking in phoenix blood.
Revealing this fact wouldn't cause any major issue; the only downside would be that it could tarnish the Phoenix Tribe's proud image and have a negative impact on public perception.
Everyone here is well aware of Seek Dao Sect's practices. Although their conduct isn't exactly upright, they are not ones to blabber about something they are aware of.
Therefore, the truth about the Phoenix Blood Stone would, at most, only circulate within the Seek Dao Sect.
All eyes turned back to Jiang Shan, who had no objections to Seek Dao Sect becoming privy to the matter.
"The reputation of Seek Dao Sect is well-known to all. They suppress demons and perform righteous acts, always keeping their promises. I believe none here will divulge this matter."
