At this moment, Liu Jiantang also spoke up: "Senior brother, don't be anxious. I really don't believe anyone would dare to be so reckless!"
Shen Huairu frowned slightly. "Junior Brother Xiao should go back and investigate today to find out who has the best chance of getting your seal. Also, many of the people who came up the mountain with the various sects this time have unknown identities. Senior Brother should also consider whether the martial arts competition tomorrow should continue?"
Ye Qingyun frowned. "Of course we must continue! How can we allow others to bully us on our Heavenly Sword Sect's territory? I'd like to see what kind of trouble Chen Gongming can stir up this time. By the way, if any of you see Chen Gongming, don't capture him alive, just kill him!"
Xiao Yuhan felt a little guilty, after all, this was because he had failed to protect the sect's seal. He immediately said, "Senior brothers and sisters, this is my responsibility. I will definitely investigate the Discipline Hall and show no mercy to anyone, no matter who it is!"
Tonight, martial law is in effect at the Heavenly Sword Sect. The news of Chen Gongming's escape from the dungeon in the back mountain spreads at an extremely fast pace. Although Xiao Yuhan ordered the news to be blocked, for some reason, it still couldn't be kept secret, and people were immediately filled with panic.
Chen Gongming was a contemporary of the previous Heavenly Sword Sect leader. In terms of cultivation level, he was at least at the ninth level of the Void Reset Realm. Therefore, some people were worried that if he were to emerge, it would cause a dramatic change in the Heavenly Sword Sect. After all, he was once a figure who could rival the previous sect leader.
The Discipline Hall was far from peaceful tonight. After returning to the Discipline Hall, Xiao Yuhan summoned all the disciples to the courtyard, including Miao Xiaodie, who was using the alias Xiao Ru.
The fact that the sect's dungeon seal is missing suggests that something went wrong with someone close to them.
In the Discipline Hall, several direct inner disciples stood in a row, with dozens of outer disciples standing behind them. Xiao Yuhan's expression was cold. Today, he didn't trust anyone. He said in a cold voice, "You should already know about the missing array seal in the dungeon in the back mountain. The item disappeared from my place. Who has entered my room these past few days!"
At this moment, the eldest disciple, Li Xianyun, stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Master, I have been inside, but you were always there."
After saying that, Bai Yao also came out. "Master, Yao'er has been in here before. You were here most of the time, and I've also been in your room when you weren't here, but... Yao'er didn't steal anything."
If it were a matter of personal feelings, Xiao Yuhan would be willing to trust the disciples in front of him, but this matter was of great importance. He looked at Li Qianyun, who was in charge of guarding the Discipline Hall, and said, "I suspect that the theft occurred between yesterday and this morning. Qianyun, you are in charge of the defense of the Discipline Hall. Find all the disciples who were on duty during that time period!"
Li Qianyun immediately replied, "Reporting to Master, everyone is here."
As they spoke, several disciples stepped forward. "Reporting to Elder Xiao, we did not find any suspicious persons entering or leaving yesterday during our patrol. When you were not here yesterday, only Senior Sister Bai Yao entered your room!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan looked at Bai Yao. He still believed in Bai Yao, but in front of so many disciples, he couldn't directly dismiss the suspicion against her. "Yao'er, tell me yourself, what are you doing coming into my room?"
Bai Yao immediately explained, "Yao'er is just tidying up Master's room. It's been like this all these years. Yao'er would never steal the array seal."
At this moment, Li Qianyun spoke up, "In that case, I propose searching everyone's rooms, including Junior Sister Bai Yao's!"
Xiao Yuhan nodded, then gave instructions to his men to carry them out.
After a long while, the people who went to search returned and presented Xiao Yuhan with a secret scroll.
"Elder Xiao, this thing was found in Senior Sister Bai Yao's room. I don't know what its purpose is."
Xiao Yuhan took the scroll and his expression immediately changed. The scroll contained the method to open the hidden array in his room. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Yao, "Yao'er... what's going on?"
