It's hard to say that the incident in which the master was unmasked and forcefully humiliated at the Zhuhu Tea House had actually had a deep impact.
But the people who were there at the time often couldn't see the consequences, and mostly felt only the anger of being fooled.
It was only when the master was slapped down from his pedestal that people could see clearly his true face, hidden under the illusions.
This person was originally a successor of a minor sect that had lost its inheritance and had come into possession of a magical pearl by chance.
Rather than using this magical pearl to properly cultivate, he used its illusionary powers to swindle and deceive. After his first successful act of trickery, he became unstoppable.
Over the years, he had deceived countless people and could be described as "making a fortune." Not to mention the expenses he had spent, he had thirty-eight storage boxes on him alone at that moment.
