While the Yin-Yang Academy's war preparations were in full swing, the other sects weren't idle for even a moment.
The Mirage Flower Palace had clearly received the news. Recently, they had completely sealed off their main gate. Aside from their own disciples, no one else was allowed to enter the Mirage Flower Palace.
It had to be said that Palace Master Mu's move was quite brilliant.
After all, she had personally witnessed the Luo Fu Sect's Xin Chaohui being a spy. At this time, the people outside couldn't tell who was a person and who was a ghost. If the one who entered the Mirage Flower Palace was a spy sent by the "Dark Shadow" organization, then wouldn't the Mirage Flower Palace's situation be completely exposed in front of everyone?
Therefore, at this time, they cut off all contact with the outside world and focused on preparing for the battle. Not only could they maintain the secrecy of the matter, but they could also make them more focused on preparing for war.
Even the Abyss Sacred Valley, which had already been demoted to a quasi five cauldron sect, became low-key again during this time. They stopped all activities with the outside world. No one knew what they were doing.
Compared to the low profile of the two sects, the Luo Fu Sect had become the hot topic of discussion in the imperial city.
The first matter was that the sect master, Luo Wuji, had fallen from the sky at the southern gate of the imperial city with a body full of scars. He had "prostrated himself on the ground." As expected, this incident had already spread throughout the entire city, and it had become a laughing stock among the people.
However, this laughing stock didn't last long. The terrifying reputation of the Luo Fu Sect surpassed the level of ridicule of the first matter.
After Luo Wuji returned to the sect, the Luo Fu Sect's members went missing one after another.
And these people's disappearances didn't seem to have any pattern to them. From the insignificant ordinary disciples and odd-job workers to the highly respected elders, as long as it was a person, it was possible for them to go missing.
The most important thing was that even the Luo Fu Sect's extremely prestigious Great Elder had unexpectedly disappeared without a trace. There was no news at all.
If it was said that the disappearance of the other disciples wouldn't cause too much of a commotion, then the disappearance of the Great Elder could be said to be a very important matter. This matter couldn't be hidden at all! It quickly spread throughout the entire city!
For a time, the topic of discussion changed from Luo Wuji's tragic state to speculations about the culprit behind the disappearance.
Without a doubt, in the eyes of others, the disappearance of the First Elder was not only a heavy blow to the Luofu Sect, it was also an undisguised humiliation to the sect.
Just when everyone thought that they would see an enraged Luofu Sect frantically searching for the culprit, the Luofu Sect did not react at all. They did not even make an announcement.
It was as if the missing people were not from the Luo Fu Sect. As for the ordinary disciples in the big sects, they didn't seem to know about this matter and didn't care too much about it. His attitude was so cold that it exceeded everyone's imagination.
Naturally, they did not know that the disappearance of people this time was Luo Wuji's abnormal purge of traitors in the sect!
Without a doubt, after experiencing the matter with Xin Chaohui, Luo Wuji was now deeply aware of the threat spies posed to the Luofu Sect.
What Luo Wuji didn't expect was that there were spies from "Dark Shadow" among the elders. The most important thing was that this spy's identity was not ordinary. He was actually the First Elder of the Luofu Sect.
This old man, who looked harmless and had one foot in the grave, was actually a spy.
Without a doubt, the First Elder was the elder with the highest authority in the Luofu Sect. If he were to betray them at a crucial moment, the damage to the Luofu Sect would be devastating!
Although Luo Wuji hated Qin Yi, after hearing Qin Yi's suggestion, he had the same attitude as Qin Yi on this matter.
After all, this matter was related to the life and death of a sect, so he absolutely couldn't afford to be careless.
However, it could not be denied that when he saw so many traitors, Luo Wuji's mood was incomparably terrible.
Therefore, when dealing with these traitors, he didn't hesitate to use the cruelest punishment, torturing them to death!
This matter was obviously the biggest scandal of the Luofu Sect. If their identity as traitors were to spread, especially someone like the First Elder, the news of him being a traitor would reach the ears of outsiders. Then, it would have an even greater impact on the prestige of the Luofu Sect.
Without a doubt, the people who did not know the situation would think that Luo Wuji was a complete idiot. He actually allowed the traitors to exist in the sect for such a long time.
If the situation became like this, even if the Luofu Sect wanted to save their reputation, it would be an extremely difficult matter.
At the crucial moment when Yin-Yang Academy was about to rise, if they lost their absolute prestige and dominance, their future days would be even more difficult.
So, other than a few people who were relatively close and absolutely reliable, even the people in the Luofu Sect did not know about this matter.
Every time they asked, Luo Wuji and the others would use the excuse that they were "investigating" to evade it.
Unfortunately, sometimes, hiding something too much wasn't a good thing! At the beginning, people might have believed it, but as time passed, all kinds of guesses gradually appeared.
The most exaggerated one was that Sect Leader Luo Wuji, because of what happened last time, suffered a huge impact on his heart and became crazy. He started to cultivate evil techniques, and this evil technique required the fresh blood of living people. To cover up, he chose to attack people in the sect.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. The more the rumor spread, the more people said it. No matter how absurd it sounded, there would be people who believed it to be true!
For a moment, the entire Luofu Sect was immersed in an atmosphere of fear and unease. In order to prevent themselves from becoming the next target, many disciples chose to leave the sect.
As for the disciples who stayed, they were also anxious and did not leave their homes. The Luofu Sect, which was originally full of vitality, actually became jittery.
In the end, Luo Wuji finally could not bear it anymore and pushed the matter to the head of the "Dark Shadow" organization.
He said that these people were taken away by the "Dark Shadow" organization. And their goal was to use these people to open the door of the Luofu Sect and invade the Yun Hai Empire.
Once the news spread, the entire imperial capital knew about the existence of the "Dark Shadow" organization.
