When these words came out, everyone present except Luo Rufeng was shocked. Among the elders who came this time, there was an elder who had a good relationship with Elder Wang. Seeing Pei Yun's tone of certainty, he couldn't help but say:

"Elder Pei, everyone knows that you and Elder Wang had conflicts in the past, but the Sect Master has already punished everyone. Your assertion will inevitably lead to misunderstandings..."

All the elders of Yunshan Sect knew that Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng had a bright future, and that the sect's current prosperity was due to these two people. Naturally, no one dared to offend them, so these words were spoken very politely.

"Pei Yun, do you have any proof?"

Sect Master Mu said solemnly, "Not long ago, when Elder Wang and I went to the Yanling Sect to defend against the demonic attack, he bravely killed many demons without hesitation. When he first entered the Chaomu Valley, the disciples under his command all said that Elder Wang, in order to protect them, single-handedly held back a hundred demons, just to buy them time to escape..."

"...You also reported to me that Elder Wang was seriously injured and would need to recuperate for at least a long time, and you didn't learn anything about the demonic methods from him..."

"When the Sect Master initially ordered me to heal him, I indeed didn't notice anything unusual about Elder Wang. But later, Wang Xue'er reported to me that she had spied a figure communicating with the Demon Leader in the dark while in Morning and Dusk Valley. Of course, that figure was wearing a mask, so she didn't see his face. However, the figure's clothing bore the mark of Huo Lianfeng..."

"This, how is this possible..."

"Could I have seen it wrong?!"

"...Even if there's Huo Lianfeng's mark on his clothes, it doesn't mean it's Elder Wang. Many of Huo Lianfeng's disciples also participated in this operation..."

Seeing that everyone was still skeptical, Pei Yun said, "Everyone, the last time my sect's Chaomu Valley operation was leaked, it resulted in heavy casualties among our disciples. Think about it, only the elders of my sect were present when the plan was formulated. Ordinary disciples could not have known the plan, so it is impossible for the disciples of Huolian Peak to leak it. Similarly, it is impossible for Wang Xue'er to leak it either. Only the sect's upper echelons could have done that..."

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Mu and several elders looked at each other, unable to refute for a moment.

Luo Rufeng stepped forward and came to Pei Yun's side, saying, "Everyone, Elder Pei and I both believe that Elder Wang is a strong suspect. However, without clear evidence, neither of us recommends arresting him..."

Arresting and convicting an elder who has made great contributions to the sect and has extensive experience without any evidence will definitely chill the hearts of some elders.

"Sect Master, Elder Luo and I suggest that we don't alert Elder Wang for now, but we must secretly monitor his actions and prevent him from escaping. I have invited Elders Qin Gu and Ling Xi to come to Yunshan Sect once the matter of the Demon Cave Altar is resolved. With the means of these two powerful men, the real spy will not be able to escape!"

Sect Master Mu pondered for a moment and had to admit that the two had considered their words very carefully. The other elders nodded in agreement, "Pei Yun, your idea is good. Elder Li, when you return, secretly send someone to keep an eye on Elder Wang and don't let him leave the sect..."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Within two days, the Yunshan Sect returned to the sect. As they stepped off the airship, Ling Zongyang glanced at Pei Yun unconsciously, but soon revealed an incredible expression, mouth hanging open in astonishment, "Pei Yun, you've actually reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm!"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Luo Rufeng looked at Pei Yun in astonishment, with expressions of shock on their faces!

How old is Pei Yun?! This "young" man who is not even 150 years old is actually already in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm!

The Nascent Soul Ceremony of the person in front of me seemed to have happened just yesterday, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye he had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The speed of cultivation was breathtaking!

Like the two supreme elders present, Shen Lingxian has achieved perfection in the transformation of the spirit, but she is already over 1,300 years old. Ling Zongyang also broke through the Void Refinement Stage in recent years, but he is a little older than Shen Lingxian.

In Beiqizhou, the cultivation level of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation is definitely the top existence. Among the ten major sects, those who are in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation are all in the status of supreme elders.

Is this the cultivation speed of a genius?! Even compared to those geniuses in Eastern Cangzhou, this kind of cultivation talent must be no less impressive!

Is their Yunshan Sect about to produce a peerless genius? !

The difference in strength was so great that they no longer felt jealous, and all they felt was the joy of being honored. When Sect Master Mu and several elders present faced Pei Yun, their expressions became softer, and there was even a hint of awe.

Sect Master Mu was overjoyed and said, "Pei Yun, no, Elder Pei, with your strength, you have already reached the status of Grand Elder. And Rufeng, the two of you are now strong enough to be promoted to Grand Elder. My Yunshan Sect should invite other sects to celebrate for you two."

Several people present looked at Luo Rufeng with the mentality of watching a good show. Before Pei Yun's rise, Luo Rufeng had always been regarded as the number one genius in Beiqizhou. After all, even the elders of Dongcangzhou were vying to accept him as a disciple.

They never imagined that such a genius who shocked Beiqizhou would be surpassed by another genius, who was also Luo Rufeng's Taoist partner. Everyone was very curious about Luo Rufeng's thoughts at this moment.

Luo Rufeng remained calm and reserved, and only when he looked at Pei Yun did a gentle and doting smile appear in his eyes.

He and Pei Yun exchanged a glance, and they both understood each other's meaning. Pei Yun said:

"Master, all factions have been severely damaged in this demon-slaying operation. Now is the time for them to recuperate and reorganize their inner sects. They probably won't have time to attend any celebratory banquets. It's best for our Yunshan Sect to keep a low profile. As for the two of us, no matter our status, we will serve the sect..."

"Elder Pei is right. We are not the only ones who have spies from the Demon Tribe. The other nine major sects probably have similar situations. Otherwise, the various factions would not have been almost wiped out when they first sneaked into Chaomu Valley. They will definitely conduct a thorough internal investigation. It is better for my faction to keep a low profile at this time..." Luo Rufeng echoed her husband.

"You are right." Sect Master Mu nodded.

"Master, when I was sneaking into the Demon Cave, I spied on the Demon Clan's contacts with the Demon Clan hidden in other sects. This is the Shadow Talisman. Master, please share it with other sects..."

Unfortunately, perhaps because Elder Wang was too cautious, Pei Yun did not see Elder Wang's figure in the Qianji Hall's mirror.

"Good! Good! Good!" Sect Master Mu took the shadow talisman and stroked his beard with satisfaction.

With this thing, the prestige of their Yunshan Sect among the other nine sects will be further enhanced.

……

Ever since Sect Master Mu returned to Yunshan Sect with several elders, Elder Wang has become uneasy and worried, fearing that his identity as a demon clan traitor would be exposed. However, he knows that he can't do anything now. Although the sect seems calm, there are actually undercurrents. It is better to be still than to move.

About half a month later, just when he relaxed his mind a little, Elder Li led the disciples of the Zhengfa Hall below to block Huolian Peak with swift and fierce means. All the disciples of Huolian Peak were controlled, and Elder Wang himself was blocked in the inner hall by Elder Li.

"Elder Li, what does this mean?"

Elder Wang's heart was in his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his back unconsciously, but he questioned righteously on his face.

Elder Li looked at the man opposite him with an ambiguous expression. "Elder Wang, you know exactly what I mean. I'm here to capture you and bring you to the main peak for interrogation on the orders of the sect leader. If you want to maintain your dignity, just come with me!"

"Master!"

"Master, what happened? Did someone frame me, Huo Lianfeng?"

The disciples under Huo Lianfeng were tied up and kneeling on the ground, each of them looking panicked, completely unaware of what was going on.

Elder Wang was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Alright, I'll go with you to the main peak. As an old man with integrity, I'm not afraid of anything. Why wouldn't I dare go?"
