"I know, I know! But he..." Shi Yuan lowered his head and covered his face: "But he saved me! After so many years of friendship, I just want to ask, ask him..."

Fu Tianguang sighed: "What are you asking? Ask him why he is Mingying? Ask him why he sneaked into Xuantian Sect? Or ask him why he saved you? Is the friendship between you real or fake? Is it meaningful? Now it is a foregone conclusion. No matter how much you question, it is just stabbing yourself again. How much sincerity can a traitor have? You know it clearly in your heart!"

Shi Yuan was silent.

Fu Tianguang loosened the Futian rope that bound him: "Or, if he says a few nice words to prove the true feelings between you, you will forgive him and betray Xuantian Sect?"

"I'm not!"

Shi Yuan immediately retorted, but his eyes wavered, making Fu Tianguang so angry that he slapped him.

"Are you awake?"

Shi Yuan didn't know whether he was stunned or what, and he didn't answer.

Fu Tianguang slapped him again: "Are you awake now?"

Shi Yuan remained silent. Fu Tianguang was about to slap him for the third time, but Shi Yuan raised his hand to stop him. With two red slap marks on his face, he smiled bitterly: "Master, please stop. You've even messed up my consciousness."

Fu Tianguang withdrew his hands and put them behind his back, then coughed twice to hide his emotions.

Pity.

Shi Yuan calmed down, and the red marks on his face disappeared visibly under the restoration of spiritual power.

He stared at Qi Guanhuan who was not far away. Just as he was about to step out of the formation, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Sect Master, you are not using your power for personal gain and hitting me on purpose, are you?"

Fu Tianguang said sternly: "What nonsense! Am I that kind of person?"

Shi Yuan looked at him meaningfully, turned around and straightened his robe before stepping out of the formation.

Fu Tianguang touched the tip of his nose and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Yuan, who had just stepped out of the formation, took a deep breath and smiled as usual: "Brother Qi Guan!"

There was a flash of light in Qi Guanhuan's eyes, but his expression was gentle: "Brother Shi."

"Hey, Brother Qi Guan! Where have you been these days? We've been looking for you for a long time!"

Qi Guanhuan's expression froze. No wonder someone had been secretly searching for his whereabouts. Could it be Shi Yuan's doing?

He breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed his identity had not been exposed.

"I found a place to retreat, and then I came out." Qi Guanhuan paused and said, "When I came back, I heard that Xuantian Sect had wiped out Piaomiao Sect. What happened?"

"Nothing. Since Piao Miao Sect is here to provoke us, it is inevitable that the sect will be destroyed. Let's not talk about this anymore. The sect has something important to do next. Let's go find the Sect Master first."

"Big news? What big news?" Qi Guanhuan followed Shi Yuan, intending to find out the news.

"Recently, someone has reported that there are secret agents named 'Shadow' infiltrating various sects. We are now in the process of eliminating these secret agents."

"I wonder who brought the news?" Qi Guanhuan murmured.

Does it mean the person who knows the inside story is not from Xuantian Sect?

Or could it be that the previous footage of the Wan Dao Jade Plate falling into the secret realm was also taken by the same person?

Who is it?

"What's wrong, Brother Qi Guan? Are you worried? Didn't you encounter any good opportunities this time?"

"How can an opportunity come so easily?"

"Yes, don't lose heart. The path of cultivation is always changing like this."

Qi Guanhuan felt that Shi Yuan's tone was a bit strange, but unfortunately he was walking in front and couldn't see his expression.

Illusion.

"Yes, things are unpredictable. Chance, chance, fate will come eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it." Qi Guanhuan also sighed.

Shi Yuan clenched his hands hidden in his wide sleeves, and after calming down for a while, he smiled and turned his head: "Oh, this is how cultivation works. Besides, there are not so many opportunities in this world. Practicing diligently is the right way."

"makes sense."

"Let's go into the hall. Everyone should be here."

Shi Yuan was the first to step into the main hall, and Qi Guanhuan pursed his lips and followed closely behind.

Inside the hall, Shangguan Fuyu sat high up in the throne, Yun Lei sat on his left, Fu Tianguang on his right, and the nine elders of Xuantian Sect sat in two rows below.

For the first time, there were so many people gathered.

"Greetings to the Grand Ancestor, greetings to the Sect Master!"

Qi Guanhuan followed suit and knelt down to salute: "Greetings to the Grand Ancestor, greetings to the Sect Master."

Shangguan Fuyu said "hmm" and stopped talking. Yun Lei, who was standing next to him, teased Yun Mingyue in his arms but did not say anything either.

Fu Tianguang said to the two of them, "You are the only ones missing, please take a seat."

There was nothing unusual, and Qi Guanhuan felt relieved and sat in his seat as the seventh elder.

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the matter of 'Shadow'." Fu Tianguang said.

The fifth elder slammed the table and said, "What are we still discussing? Let's search their souls one by one! We will know immediately whether they are human or ghost!"

The Eighth Elder curled his lips and said, "I just said that the Dark Shadow cannot search the soul."

"That's right! The one whose soul cannot be searched is the Dark Shadow!" The Fifth Elder's voice was so loud that his voice could be heard in the main hall.

“Let’s not talk about whether soul searching is useful or not. Soul searching is too harmful to disciples. Besides, it is not easy to make a big fuss about it. If these ghosts are desperate, they might do something extreme. This method won’t work.” Fu Tianguang directly rejected the Fifth Elder’s proposal.

"Why make such a fuss? The news of our purge has already spread out. What are we afraid of?" muttered the fifth elder.

"It's not that we're afraid, but we need to find a method that can solve the problem in one go. Soul searching is too slow." Second Elder Shi Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Why not ask the person who delivered the message? Maybe he has recorded who the dark shadows are. We can arrest some of the dark shadows and torture them severely. Maybe we can get out some names from them?" Qi Guanhuan suggested.

Hearing him speak, Yun Lei glanced at him and curled his lips imperceptibly.

Fu Tianguang glanced at Shangguan Fuyu and said to Qi Guanhuan, "It's useless. We caught one before. He doesn't know who the Dark Shadows are. They won't reveal their identities to each other. They will only know when they receive an order."

"They are hiding so well that even their own people are on guard. What on earth do they want to do?" The fifth elder was indignant.

"Oh, if my grandma wasn't missing, I could have asked her if she had seen Mingying in the Wandering Secret Realm. I don't know where my grandma went." Fu Tianguang sighed and worried.

"She always has her own plans. Fu Tianguang, go and notify all the sects and schools to come to Xuantian Sect to discuss this matter. Is Mo Chi back?" Shangguan Fuyu asked.

"Not yet. I heard that the Qingming Mirror of Piaomiao Sect is hard to obtain, so Senior Linghu has gone to help." Fu Tianguang replied.

"Well, the Qingming Mirror is a fairy weapon. It can not only see through all illusions, but also has other magical uses. With it, the matter of the dark shadow can be easily solved."

Shangguan Fuyu stood up and said, "Go and inform all the sects first. After refining the Qingming Mirror, Xuantian Sect will look for Mingying's whereabouts."
