Capítulo 1376: Chapter 526: The Bet
As soon as Shui Wuchang spoke, Su Mo hadn’t yet uttered a word when the Sihai Dragon Heads were already furious.
Xiao He slammed the table and stood up:
“Shui Wuchang, what do you mean by that? Are you doubting the Hall Master, or mistrusting us brothers?”
“No particular meaning…”
Shui Wuchang rubbed his face, reeking of alcohol, his eyes faintly red.
He glanced at Xiao He and spoke:
“I neither mistrust the Hall Master nor the four Dragon Heads.
“It’s just that the matter is of great importance. The Dragon King Mirror was only glanced at fleetingly today, making it difficult to discern its genuineness.
“Now with the courage of wine, I dare to inquire the Hall Master.”
Xiao He’s brows were tightly knitted as he turned to look at Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled, just about to speak, when Shui Wuchang continued:
“In addition, there’s one more thing I wish to ask the Hall Master.”
“Very well.”
Su Mo nodded slightly:
“As one of the Eight sects, the Water Department Master holds a position of high authority within the Dragon King Hall.
“Moreover, the Eight sects are the foundation of our Dragon King Hall.
“It’s normal for the Water Department Master to contemplate for our Dragon King Hall, you may speak directly.”
“Thank you for your generosity, Hall Master.”
Shui Wuchang clasped his fist in thanks without any politeness:
“I wish to ask, how is it that the Hall Master, being the Hall Master of our Dragon King Hall, has also become the Young Alliance Leader of the Nanhai Alliance?
“For years, the Nanhai Alliance and our Dragon King Hall have had conflicts, with lives from both sides claimed under our hands.
“Saying the enmity is as deep as the sea is not an exaggeration.
“Now that the Hall Master has found what may be the true Dragon King Mirror,
“and has become the Hand Alliance Leader of the Nanhai Alliance,
“I dare to ask… is that Dragon King Mirror given to us by the Nanhai Alliance? Is this visit to our Dragon King Hall a conspiracy plot by that Gao Tianqi scoundrel? To usurp the seat of Hall Master of our Dragon King Hall and ultimately annex our Dragon King Hall?”
“Shui Wuchang, you are outrageous!!!”
When these words were spoken, the Sihai Dragon Heads burst out together.
If it was merely questioning the authenticity of the Dragon King Mirror,
this matter could be empathetically understood.
After all, the Dragon King Mirror had been missing for years, suddenly resurfaced, and a Hall Master descended from the sky.
Anyone would harbor doubts.
Xiao He’s table-slam was largely for show, maintaining Su Mo’s dignified presence as Hall Master.
After all, they had already discerned the Dragon King Mirror; true can’t be faked, fake can’t be true.
Once displayed, no more complications would arise.
But ultimately, you can’t just say show it, and we show it.
The person sitting before them is the new Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, not your Eight sect subordinate.
Therefore, Xiao He had to fully demonstrate his stance.
But the latter words were certainly overstepping.

Those words not only depicted Su Mo as a treacherous tool of the Nanhai Alliance, but also aligned the Sihai Dragon Heads with the Nanhai Alliance.
The implication was: Have you all been bribed by the Nanhai Alliance? Is this return merely to plot against the Dragon King Hall?
Utterly maligning, causing the Sihai Dragon Heads to endure no longer.
Hearing these words, Su Mo merely smiled lightly and waved his hand:
“Sihai Dragon Heads, please remain seated.”
“Hall Master! Shui Wuchang has gone too far, please punish him!”
Wen Qi stood from his seat, kneeling on one knee.
“Wen Longhead, you’ve spoken too heavily.”
Su Mo waved his hand: “Since I agreed to being the Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, these matters cannot remain muddled.
“Concerning the lives of brothers within the Dragon King Hall and the livelihood of thousands of disciples, how can I be negligent?
“Today here, let’s simply be frank with everyone…”
He put down the wine cup and broadly explained the matter of the Qi Family, concealing the finer details.
During the interlinked parts, there was the old scheme of the Jinglong Association, the plot to pit tigers against wolves, as well as the trick of the mantis stalking the cicada, unbeknownst to the Huang Que in the rear.
Su Mo, caught in the ordeal, if not assuming the position of Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall, couldn’t easily command the Sihai Dragon Heads.
If not adopting the role of Young Alliance Leader, he would also be distrusted by the Dragon King Hall.
Once coordination is invalid, leading to a clash between Nanhai Alliance and Sihai Dragon Heads’ experts, it would mean falling into the hidden poison plot.
The threads of these affairs were myriad; Su Mo narrated these fluently.
Nonetheless, it left the Four Divisions leaders in cold sweat.
Uncle Tian’s face turned slightly pale:
“So, such reasons were involved, and without the Hall Master’s clarity, our Dragon King Hall nearly fell into others’ schemes!”
“The former Hall Master… perished at the hands of Song Jiangshen.
Song Jiangshen, in turn, colluded with the Youyun Alliance Leader.
And this Youyun Alliance, by chance, led the Gui Xu Island people to attack the Qi Family…
This, this, this…”
Zhou Yuanming counted on his fingers, feeling somewhat mentally stuck.
The convolutions within were too numerous.
Mu Shanshan, however, was indifferent, merely tallying in her mind how many pork legs the Dragon Girl had consumed?
At least for now, she has already eaten two roast lambs, thirteen roast piglets, and countless pork legs…
The Dragon Girl, though plump, cannot have all these disappear into thin air, so where exactly did all that meat go?
Shui Wuchang was frowning deeply, after carefully deliberating over Su Mo’s words, feeling slightly befuddled.
Finally, he nodded:
“So it is, I misunderstood…”
After a pause in his speech: “What about the Dragon King Mirror?”
Su Mo said no more, drawing the Dragon King Mirror from his chest, rotating the Inner Strength of the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy.
A humming sound echoed.
A gleam emanated from within the Dragon King Mirror, cold air dispersing, swiftly spreading.
In the midst of the white light, pure Mystic Ice True Qi congealed.
“It truly is… truly is the Dragon King Mirror!”
Uncle Tian fixedly gazed at the scene before him, eyes brimming with tears:
