Chapter 97 Thorough Investigation
The silent Venerable Danhua suddenly turned his head slightly and glanced coldly at the two female cultivators lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
They looked quite panicked, and their eyes kept evading, as if they were trying to escape from something terrible.
Venerable Danhua had no expression on his face and spoke in an unusually calm tone: "In that case, why not check carefully to see if these two women used disguise techniques to conceal their true identities."
His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
As soon as he finished speaking, several law enforcement disciples quickly stepped forward and quickly held down the two female practitioners.
One of the law enforcement disciples took out a bottle of potion from his arms and carefully poured it on the faces of the female practitioners.
As the potion came into contact with the skin, a slight hissing sound was heard, and then a surprising scene happened - the familiar faces began to gradually distort and deform, eventually revealing two completely unfamiliar faces.
Seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but let out a low cry.
The face of the Huatian Sect Master was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out. There were people lurking in the sect, and no one had discovered them. It was not known how many such people there were.
He decisively gave the order: "Bring their ID cards and check them. Quickly ask the outer sect's external affairs elder to come over and identify them!"
After receiving the order, some disciples hurriedly ran out of the hall to find the foreign affairs elder, while others respectfully presented the female cultivator's identity card to the Honghuang elder.
Elder Honghuang took the ID card, looked at it carefully for a moment, and his expression became solemn.
He shook his head at the Huatian Sect Master and the other elders, and said slowly: "Elders, Sect Master, after checking, I found that the spiritual light on these two identity cards has been extinguished. In my opinion, it is estimated that their owners have unfortunately died long ago, so these two women should not be the real owners of the identity cards."
A suffocating silence spread, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Elder Mo Li slowly opened his lips and broke the heavy silence: "Since someone has used such insidious and cunning means to quietly infiltrate our sect, it can be concluded that there are definitely more than just a few of them. In my opinion, should we conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the entire sect?"
His voice was low and solemn, with a hint of worry and vigilance.
The elder Honghuang nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "That's right! Most of the disciples in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages who have not yet formally become disciples have never lit their soul lamps.
In this way, even if they encounter an accident, it is difficult for us to quickly determine whether they are alive or dead.
Therefore, whether it is the Foreign Affairs Hall responsible for handling external affairs, or the Outer Hall where the inner disciples are located, or even the many menial disciples, I am afraid they all need to be carefully investigated one by one. "
Hearing this, Sect Master Hua Tian could not help but frown and said with difficulty: "The suggestion you put forward is certainly very good, but the problem is that the number of people who need to be checked this time is too large.
Faced with such a large number of people, where should we start and how should we conduct this inventory work? "
His sharp hawk-like eyes slowly swept over everyone present, his eyes were full of eagerness and expectation, as if he wanted to see through everyone's faces to the secrets hidden deep in their hearts, and find the feasible answer that could solve the current problem.
At this moment, the silent Danhua Master finally broke the silence. He said solemnly, "Let's act together! Bring all the Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage and menial disciples who are currently staying in the sect to the square.
We can use the traction method to carefully check the condition of each person's ID card. Once we find anything unusual, we will immediately label them as suspects and take them back for strict interrogation."
Hearing this, Hua Tian, who was standing aside, had a glimmer of decisiveness in his eyes, and responded immediately: "Good idea! However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed at all. Uncle Master, please quickly notify Uncle Master Miaoyin, and then inform the masters of each peak, and let them be responsible for the investigation of the disciples whose soulless lamps show abnormalities in their own peaks.
Activate the sect formation, only allow personnel to enter, and absolutely prohibit anyone from leaving the sect without permission!"
As soon as the order was issued, the entire Wuhua Sect instantly became tense and busy.
Many disciples followed the instructions and a large-scale investigation began.
For those low-level disciples, they had no idea what was going on. They were just suddenly summoned to the square, and then many of them were taken away for questioning.
Some people with guilty consciences seemed to sense the dangerous atmosphere in the air. Without hesitation, they chose to run towards the mountain gate in an attempt to escape from this place of trouble.
But unfortunately, the sect's formation had already been activated, and those who wanted to escape were all stopped on the spot and taken away for investigation. For a time, the people in Wuhua Sect were in panic, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.
After a whole day and night, this large-scale inventory operation finally came to an end.
What was shocking was that they had taken away more than a thousand low-level disciples! Among them, there were about three hundred disciples in the foundation-building stage, nearly six hundred outer disciples, and hundreds of menial disciples.
After an in-depth and detailed investigation, it was discovered that almost all of the more than one thousand disciples had unfortunately died.
It turned out that these people were able to successfully infiltrate the Wuhua Sect through the art of disguise.
And because everyone carried a disciple identity card, no one had noticed that the identity of the disciple had been replaced long ago.
These infiltrators act extremely cautiously within the sect. They usually remain unknown and never easily stand out.
Even when they were bullied and oppressed by their fellow disciples, they chose to endure it silently and never thought of using their identity cards to gain any treatment or benefits.
Sect Master Hua Tian looked at the numerous spies in front of him, feeling extremely heavy and depressed. What was the purpose of these people sneaking into Wuhua Sect? What opportunity were they waiting for?
He couldn't help but think to himself: Even the low-level monks have been infiltrated so severely, so what will happen to other classes? As soon as he thought of this, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and he shuddered involuntarily.
Not daring to delay any longer, Sect Master Huatian acted decisively and immediately summoned senior members of the sect to discuss countermeasures and began to make careful plans.
