Rise of the Otherworld.

After that fierce battle, Xuantian Sect seemed to be gradually returning to peace, but in reality, undercurrents were surging. Sunlight softly shone upon the sect's pavilions and bluestone paths, but this warm light could not penetrate the thick fog that permeated everyone's hearts.

Lin Yu secretly assigned trusted disciples to covertly investigate the possible traitor. These trusted disciples wore solemn expressions, knowing full well that this matter hinged on the sect's survival. Scattered throughout the sect, like hunters in the dark, they meticulously investigated every clue, leaving no trace. However, the investigation proved to be a arduous journey, like navigating a thorny patch.

"Every time we're about to find the key, the clues suddenly break." A disciple reported to Lin Yu, his face full of anger and helplessness. His clenched fists trembled slightly, and his voice was slightly hoarse due to suppressed anger: "Master, there must be a master behind this, otherwise how could it be so coincidental?"

Lin Yu frowned, his knife-like wrinkles filled with worry. He paced back and forth in the study, and the wooden floor under his feet made a slight "creaking" sound, as if telling of the heaviness of the moment. "Could it be that the core figure among the traitors noticed our actions and made careful arrangements in advance?" He muttered to himself, his eyes deep and confused.

At the same time, the atmosphere within the sect grew increasingly tense. Disciples grew suspicious of one another, and the once close-knit bonds of brotherhood began to fray, fracturing beyond repair.

"Could it be him? He's always sneaking around." A young disciple muttered in a corner, looking at another disciple with eyes full of suspicion and vigilance.

"Maybe it was her. She behaved very strangely during that operation." Another disciple echoed. Although his voice was low, it was particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.

Speculations and suspicions spread among the disciples, eroding their hearts like an invisible plague. The once harmonious and harmonious sect was now filled with anxiety and suspicion, and the people were in panic.

Zhang Hao tried to calm his disciples. "Don't speculate. Let's wait for the results of the investigation. We are fellow disciples and brothers. We must trust each other." He stood on the martial arts field, his voice loud and firm. However, his eyes also revealed a hint of anxiety, clearly worried about the current situation.

Li Yue was also diligently assisting the investigation, meticulously analyzing the actions and words of every potential suspect. Her room was filled with various documents and records, the yellowed pages densely covered with annotations and reflections. Her eyes were bloodshot, yet she remained focused on searching for clues, not missing a single flaw.

One day, while browsing the sect's past records, Lin Yu discovered something unusual. They were several old account books, the traces of time leaving mottled marks on the covers. The whereabouts of several supplies were unknown, and the records were so blurred that they seemed to have been deliberately erased.

"The whereabouts of these supplies are unknown. Could this be related to this matter?" Lin Yu fell into deep thought. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, his rhythm disordered, his thoughts in a mess.

Just as he was about to investigate further, he suddenly received a mysterious letter. The paper was rough and gave off a stale smell. The handwriting was crooked, as if it was deliberately done to conceal the writer's true handwriting.

The letter warned him not to pursue the matter further, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Lin Yu snorted coldly, anger instantly surged in his heart, his face flushed, and his eyes widened: "Want to threaten me? I want to see who is behind this!" He crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it hard on the ground. The ball of paper bounced a few times on the ground and rolled into the corner.

At this moment, the situation within the sect was becoming increasingly tense, and everyone felt an invisible pressure. And the traitor hidden in the shadows seemed to be waiting for the opportunity to strike another fatal blow to Xuantian Sect.

Lin Yu knew that time was running out and he had to find the traitor as soon as possible to restore the sect's former peace and harmony. However, the road to the truth was full of unknowns and dangers.
