Chapter 98: Thorough Investigation (Part 2)

As the saying goes, "hard work pays off", with everyone working together, they soon succeeded in arresting another 18 people.

What is even more unexpected is that among the newly captured people, there are as many as thirteen Jindan-stage cultivators, and even one direct disciple!

For a moment, the Wuhua Sect's top leaders felt heartbroken. So many promising talents had died in obscurity, and no one even noticed.

Sect Master Huatian frowned. It was understandable that the disciples did not have soul lamps, but the Jindan cultivators and direct disciples clearly had soul lamps, so how come no one noticed their deaths?

"There is a traitor, there must be a traitor!" This was the voice of everyone present.

As soon as Gu Shihan, who had just come out of seclusion, stepped out of the cave, he keenly sensed the strange atmosphere in Wuhua Sect.

The originally peaceful and harmonious sect was now filled with a subtle atmosphere of tension, which made her feel a little confused and uneasy.

"Master, what happened in the sect? And has the mysterious black-robed man been found out?"

Gu Shihan quickly walked up to Venerable Danhua and asked in confusion.

Venerable Danhua's face was slightly gloomy. He sighed and said slowly, "Qingluo, I don't know when many spies have sneaked into the sect! After some investigation, we found that they all have poisonous insects in their bodies. It is really hard to guard against. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, all these people have been imprisoned in the water prison."

Upon hearing this shocking news, Gu Shihan's eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief: "What? It was done by an evil cultivator?"

Venerable Danhua shook his head and said solemnly: "It is not clear whether it is the work of evil cultivators, but the severity of the situation is beyond imagination. Those spies have forbidden symbols in their consciousness. As long as their souls are searched, the restrictions will be triggered and they will self-destruct and die.

The useful information we have obtained is very little. What is even more terrifying is that even some of his disciples have been murdered, and their identities have been replaced by others. "

"So terrifying?!" Gu Shihan frowned, and after a moment of deep thought, he asked again, "Master, has everything been cleared up now?"

Venerable Danhua replied with a serious look: "This is just a preliminary investigation. I am afraid that we still need to dig deeper and investigate further to ensure that there are no mistakes. This matter concerns the safety and survival of our Wuhua Sect, and we must not take it lightly."

"Master, all the people we have found so far are pretending to be from the same sect? Are all our fellow disciples already dead? This is too unbelievable!"

Gu Shihan widened his eyes and looked at his master in disbelief, who had a serious expression on his face.

"That's right!" Venerable Danhua nodded slightly, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was lost in deep thought.

After a moment of silence, Gu Shihan asked again, "Master, then... could it be that any of our fellow disciples have gone astray or fallen into the devil's way?"

As she spoke, she frowned unconsciously, her heart full of worry and doubt. If this was the case, it would be too dangerous.

Venerable Danhua sighed and said slowly: "There is no conclusive evidence yet, but we cannot completely rule out this possibility. You know, as long as such people do not use spiritual power, they are no different from ordinary people. It is harder than ascending to heaven to detect their flaws. Alas, the situation in the world is becoming more and more chaotic now."

Thinking of this, Venerable Danhua couldn't help but feel a headache.

Suddenly, Gu Shihan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Master, my Xingbai may have a way! However, we just need to get closer and take a closer look, otherwise it may be difficult to judge accurately."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on the face of Venerable Danhua, and he said anxiously: "Really? If Xingbai really has a way, that would be great! As for other aspects, I will find a way to solve it myself."

"Master, you also know that Xingbai is a nine-tailed celestial fox. His perception ability far exceeds ours, especially his sensitivity to smell."

"Well, I'll discuss it with your senior brother Hua Tian, you can do whatever you want!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed, took a step forward, and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Looking at the back of his master as he hurriedly left, Gu Shihan shook his head helplessly, looked around Danjian Peak, and then decided to wander around Danjian Peak.

It’s a shame to say that since Gu Shihan came to Danjian Peak, she has either been busy practicing or going out for training, and has never really taken a good look around this place.

When you stroll through it, you will find that the Danjian Peak has beautiful scenery, with many strange peaks and surrounded by clouds and mist, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.

Xingbai left the space silently, and his figure flashed into Gu Shihan's sleeve pocket and hid.

Gu Shihan breathed in the fresh and elegant scent of flowers, medicine and fruit, and strolled leisurely as if he was strolling in a garden.

Along the way, she met many cultivators, most of whom were disciples responsible for managing various affairs of Danjian Peak.

Some of them were busy arranging the herbs and spiritual plants in the herb garden; some were holding whisks, carefully sweeping the dust between the palaces and pavilions; others were concentrating on studying ancient texts, trying to comprehend more profound methods of practice from them.

When everyone saw Gu Shihan approaching, they stopped what they were doing, walked up to him with respect on their faces, and greeted him.

Faced with such enthusiastic fellow disciples, Gu Shihan also responded to everyone's greetings with a smile on his face and a friendly attitude, and had a warm conversation with them.

At this moment, a female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, wearing a light pink silk dress, stepped forward with a little shyness.

She bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her head slightly and said, "Master Gu, Linglan has encountered some bottlenecks in her cultivation. I hope you can give me some advice and pointers."

Hearing this, Gu Shihan's heart moved, and his smile became even wider. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Linglan, just say it, let's discuss it together."

She listened patiently to the problems encountered by the nuns and gave pertinent and practical suggestions based on her own experience.

As time went by, more and more disciples were attracted by the lively atmosphere here and gathered together.

Everyone expressed their opinions and shared their insights and experiences in the process of cultivation as well as the various problems they encountered.

Sometimes someone raised a question, sometimes someone expressed a unique opinion, and the whole scene seemed unusually harmonious.

As the leader among the group, Gu Shihan's knowledge is far more extensive than others.

The reason for this is naturally that she has a highly respected master.

Whenever someone asked her a question, she never kept anything to herself, always told them everything she knew, and patiently answered every question.

After listening to her explanation, everyone couldn't help but sigh that they benefited a lot.
