As for whether there are other ways to make the "Cold Moon" sword grow besides absorbing moonlight or starlight, Baili Qi is unknown to these questions and no one can help him.

Although Dongfang Xiaoshuai knew some things, he was helpless about the problem and could only rely on himself to figure it out slowly.

Bailiqi is not very anxious about this problem for the time being, because at present, the "Hanyue" sword is sufficient for use and does not affect the battle.

After Bailiqi had his own independent room, he would practice in that independent space almost every night.

With the assistance of the "Han Yue" sword and the Bodhi fruit, the speed of practicing the "gold" and "wood" attribute skills has doubled. Although the effect is not as great as that after the fusion with Miao Qingtian, Baili Qi also clearly feels that his skills have been greatly improved.

On this day, a member of Bailiqi's team came to him to report something, that is, he heard that Shangguan Tianran was missing.

He didn't come back after going out last night, so they came immediately to talk to Bailiqi about it.

Bailiqi immediately rushed to the students' camp to check. All the other students were there, only Shangguan Tianran was not there. Shangguan Tianran did not ask for leave from him yesterday.

Shangguan Tianran didn't say hello to anyone else and tell them where he was going.

Bailiqi went to talk to General Yao about this matter.

General Yao and Bailiqi said,

"Elder Gu also went out last night and hasn't come back yet. And they are relatives, so it is very likely that they have defected."

"General Yao, then our previous speculation is very likely to be true." Bailiqi said.

"It's basically confirmed that Elder Gu is the traitor! He may have realized that the situation is irreversible, so he had no choice but to flee."

"He may have done a lot of things before this, so his best way out is to escape. If it's too late, he may not be able to escape," said General Yao.

"I really didn't expect Elder Gu to hide so deeply. How did he do it?" Baili Qi said with some confusion.

"In the past, when he and I were in the same sect, he was quite scheming and not easy to get along with. But at that time, he was very good to me and your leader."

"I don't know how he became bad. It's hard to understand a person's mind," said General Yao.

“No one has the ability to tell whether a person is good or bad at first sight. Only after a period of getting along with each other can one gradually understand a person.”

"No one turns bad all of a sudden. Basically, it is because of some major events that a qualitative change gradually occurs," said Bailiqi.

"That's natural. No one changes all at once. Most people change slowly, for better or worse," said General Yao.

"Senior Brother Lu also replied to me and will arrange for another elder to come and take you students back."

"Senior Brother Lu told me that the reason he arranged for Elder Gu to come here was to send him away before conducting the investigation."

"You wouldn't have known the result until you checked. Once you checked, he was almost scared to death!" said General Yao.

"What did Elder Gu do to make it so serious?" Baili Qi asked with some confusion.

"Almost no one dares to think about what Elder Gu did. It is a huge matter!" General Yao replied.

"What's the big deal?" Bailiqi asked.

"It turns out that the two major events of the late emperor forcing the prince to death and the queen being forced to hang herself were both closely related to Elder Gu! Do you think this is a big deal?" General Yao replied.

"How is it possible?" Bailiqi was a little unconvinced.

"Elder Gu is really a spy. He passed some important information to the enemy forces in the foreign land. The enemy forces framed the prince through a traitor hiding in the palace."

"It seems that Elder Gu has always been in Jiulianshan Sect, so no one will suspect him and he can negotiate freely with various forces." General Yao said.

"It's really scary. The most important thing is that no one has discovered it for such a long time." Bailiqi said with some emotion.

"It takes a long time to truly get to know someone." General Yao also felt a little emotional.

"I don't know where Elder Gu is going. He took his grandson with him. His grandson has very high qualifications." Bailiqi said.

"People like this won't have an easy time wherever they flee to, and spies won't be welcome anywhere," said General Yao.

"If Elder Gu escapes to the enemy, he will tell all the information we have. How should we respond?" Bailiqi asked.

"Don't worry too much. Our place is like this. The enemy won't put too much effort here. Our more important role here is to serve as a diversion."

"Otherwise, the imperial court would never dare to delay the soldiers' assistance. Because the main battlefield is not here." General Yao analyzed.

"If that's the case, then when the elders of our sect come, we can send people to Miao Qingtian's hometown to pick some Bodhi fruits." Baili Qi said.

"Yes, I think so too. The soldiers sent by the imperial court have not yet arrived, so students like you should continue to stay here. I have already made an agreement with Senior Brother Lu, and he supports me."

“So, after Junior Brother Sun Qinwu comes over, you and Miao Qingtian should go to his hometown and pick some Bodhi fruits to improve the cultivation of these soldiers.” General Yao said.

"I will follow the general's arrangement. I also want to go to Brother Miao's hometown to take a look. The Bodhi fruit there is so magical!" Bailiqi replied.

Two days later, Elder Sun arrived here, and people like Miao Qingtian and Baili Qi all participated in the welcome.

Elder Sun looks much older.

At first glance, everyone thought that Elder Sun was older than General Yao, but they didn't expect that General Yao called him "Junior Brother Sun", which surprised those who came to greet him.

Sun Qinwu is indeed younger than General Yao, by several years, but because he was poisoned during a mission in his middle age, his body was severely damaged, resulting in him looking much older.

However, he is a very open-minded person. He seems to have seen through birth, aging, sickness and death, and is very indifferent.

Although he looks old, he smiles a lot when he is with people, and appears to be more kind.

When Elder Sun saw Bailiqi, he recognized him at a glance, because Bailiqi won the championship in the competition, and Elder Sun had always supported Bailiqi, and the result was what he wanted.

He was very optimistic about Bailiqi's future prospects, at least in terms of the revival of the sect, he didn't say anything bigger, but everyone had already understood it.
