"Ahhh!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the entire hall.
The people sitting in the main hall did not react at all; some even frowned slightly, finding the howling too jarring.
Lin Yuan remained calm, and after finishing the spiritual tea, he tasted the tea snacks placed to the side.
The tea and snacks in the cultivation world are made in a completely different way than those on Earth, yet they have a unique flavor.
After the soul search was over, Zhou Ji frowned and stopped, turning to look at everyone and saying, "There is indeed a mastermind behind this, but none of them saw that person with their own eyes."
All he saw was the conversation between these people and one other person.
That person was clearly just someone who relayed orders.
The real mastermind did not appear in these people's memories.
Perhaps we need to find someone of higher status to find out who the real mastermind is.
"Are the people who give them orders also from the Star Gate?"
Lin Yuan, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly asked a question.
Zhou Ji was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "That's true."
"There's something wrong with the Star Gate; I suggest you investigate it thoroughly."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, he offered his own advice.
If it were just these few people who were from the Starry Sky Sect, that would be fine.
If even the people issuing orders are from the Starry Sky Sect, then it's highly likely that it's related to the entire sect.
Everyone understands this principle, but no one wants to think about it this way at first.
Unexpectedly, a teenager reminded him of crucial information.
It seems some people are really tired of living.
Associating with demons and harming cultivators—once convicted of such acts, one will become a sinner in the entire cultivation world!
"Have they forgotten the great war of yesteryear?"
Sang Zhuo realized what was happening and angrily slammed his fist on the table, berating them.
The others all sighed helplessly.
It's not about forgetting, but rather that once someone is controlled by demonic energy, they lose their reason and become a demon.
Such beings completely forget that they are even human.
At this point, it's perfectly normal for them to do anything.
After all, they are demons now!
"Pass down the order to focus the search on the Starry Sky Sect. If any information related to demons is found, do not act rashly and report back immediately."
Fu Zefang pondered for a moment, then gave the order in a cold voice.
The people sent out this time are all highly skilled, just in case today's accident happens again.
The thought of the Star Sect members deliberately carrying various containers filled with demonic energy and harming people everywhere without any scruples weighed heavily on their minds.
If it's a direct confrontation with the demon, it's not a big deal.
Now that their own people have been infiltrated by demons, it will be very troublesome if they want to do anything.
Not long after, news spread that the Star Gate had been targeted.
A spirit bird flew in and, upon arriving in the main hall, instantly transformed into a figure—it was Han Haotian of the Starry Sky Sect.
He questioned the crowd with a disgruntled expression, "What does the Purple Light Sect mean by this? Why are you detaining my sect's disciples without my permission?"
"Don't you know what your disciples have done?"
Zhou Ji stared at him with disdain and asked in return.
He wouldn't be so disgusted by other people.
The main reason is that Han Haotian is too arrogant and presumptuous.
Ever since the Starry Sky Sect started making him appear in public, he has offended countless people from other sects.
So now, his appearance and questioning will only make everyone dislike him more.
"Without any evidence, why are you slandering my sect's disciples?"
As expected of people from the same clan, they even said the same things.
Fu Zefang calmly looked at him and said, "The evidence is here. This is a unique token of your sect, engraved with the Starry Sky Sect's emblem. Moreover, we have examined it and found that it contains the unique spiritual energy fluctuations of the Starry Sky Sect. If you still want to argue, then we have nothing to say."
