The news that the Mysterious Heaven Sect had been attacked could not be hidden in the Xiping Mountain side courtyard. In a situation where Xiping Mountain accommodated tens of millions of cultivators, even if someone was bored and said a few words, it might be known by everyone, let alone such a big event.
It was as if in an instant, the news of the Mysterious Heaven Sect being attacked had spread like wildfire. Not only did the news spread throughout Xiping Mountain, but it also spread to Sunset Rock, Linyang River, Hatred Parting Sea, and even further places.
The cultivators outside the Mysterious Heaven Sect were all discussing it. Those who were close to them expressed their common hatred, while those who were distant were secretly happy. Deserved it! The Mysterious Heaven Sect also had such a day?
The core higher-ups were so angry that their lungs were about to explode. The Mysterious Heaven Sect's Xiping Mountain side courtyard was clearly the Mysterious Heaven Sect's territory, yet there was such a bold guy who dared to mess with them. Was he tired of living?
After a detailed calculation, the Mysterious Heaven Sect had lost hundreds of ordinary immortal and earth immortal disciples, and more than a dozen heaven immortal disciples.
This was not the biggest loss. At the end of the day, whether it was heaven immortal, earth immortal, or human immortal disciples, they were just ordinary disciples. What really hurt the Mysterious Heaven Sect were the dozens of elders who were killed by the demon beasts and resurrected by the Divine Perching Jade. They were the true elites.
Although these elders had died in the first wave of the demon beasts, they had obtained a chance to be reborn by relying on the primordial spirits left behind by the Divine Perching Jade. The only problem was that their cultivation couldn't be restored immediately. It would take about a thousand years for them to completely recover.
These were the true elites of the Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to be bestowed with the Divine Perching Jade. The weakest among them was at the late heaven immortal stage. How could they become the pillars of the Sect if they weren't at this level?
It was precisely this group of experts who would be able to recover their original cultivation after a thousand years, and who might even be able to transcend because of an additional layer of life and death experiences, that group of experts had unexpectedly died in this ambush. Not a single one of them had managed to escape.
The other party must have been carefully selected to target the Mysterious Heaven Sect's weak spot. This attack was enough to make everyone in the Mysterious Heaven Sect extremely sad.
Not to mention the current Sect Leader Wang and the others, even the future Sect Leader, Elder Li, almost fainted from the heartache. These elites of the Sect wouldn't hinder him from becoming the Sect Master, but they would be the mainstay of the Sect a thousand years later. They were the strength under Sect Master Li's command. If they were to die just like that, those damned scoundrels should be dismembered into a thousand pieces and their bones ground into ashes!
Filled with rage, Elder Li immediately requested to personally investigate this matter. The target of the thief was so clear that he even knew where these experts were hiding. It was impossible that there was no insider. Moreover, only someone who was extremely familiar with the inner workings of the Mysterious Heaven Sect would be able to launch an attack at the perfect time to create a diversion.
In particular, another thing, Yang Lan was also robbed, which explained this point. Yang Lan was a completely insignificant person. Keeping his life was just to let him suffer in his lifetime and avenge the Taitianmen disciples in the mortal world.
Even such an insignificant person was robbed, and even his resting place was clearly investigated. It could only be said that there was an internal problem. Because of Yang Lan's relationship, it was likely that the people who did it were from the Zhao family. Only the Zhao family would be happy to see the masters of the Mysterious Heaven Sect who were recuperating destroyed, and they would be willing to rob Yang Lan, their chess piece.
All the disciples who could come into contact with the experts were listed. There was no exception for those who knew where Yang Lan was. All of them were pulled out and screened one by one.
This matter was related to the safety of the Sect, and it was at such a delicate time. Troubled times required heavy punishment. At this time, they couldn't care less about catching the thief. They would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one person go. The entire Black Heaven Sect instantly fell into a state of fear, where everyone was in danger.
Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Elder Li not only began to investigate the traitors, but he also pulled a few people who were usually at odds with him to the Law Enforcement Hall. Hall Master Liu and Elder Li were in cahoots with each other, so they naturally understood. Without a few moves, those people who didn't know what was good for them "committed suicide".
Very soon, under this kind of atmosphere, the suspect was finally exposed. A large number of the Sect's disciples were gathered in the small courtyard. They would often see each other, so no matter what they did, it was rare that they wouldn't be noticed. As long as they compared the daily behavior of these suspicious people and the people they came into contact with, they would naturally be able to find a few suspicious people.
The crazy Mysterious Heaven Sect disciples wantonly moved out and turned the surroundings upside down. All the cultivators in Xiping Mountain knew how crazy the Mysterious Heaven Sect disciples were at this time, so who dared to talk? They didn't even dare to complain. When the Mysterious Heaven Sect disciples came to their door, if they didn't want to be treated as suspects of the attack on the Mysterious Heaven Sect, they would immediately cooperate.
After all, many experts were mobilized. With the current situation in Xiping Mountain, it was impossible to completely hide the movements of so many people. There would always be clues left behind. The Mysterious Heaven Sect disciples immediately followed the clues and searched for them. They also found a few unlucky fools who didn't immediately escape and still wanted to stay in Xiping Mountain to watch the show.
If they found one, they would be able to find a whole bunch. Outside the Sect's main headquarters, the Mysterious Heaven Sect found hundreds of abnormal people. The sad thing was that some people were indeed traitors, but they could swear that they had nothing to do with the attack. They were just pawns that the Sect had placed in the Mysterious Heaven Sect to investigate. Because of a moment of carelessness, they were caught at this time and were found.
During this time, Hall Master Liu's Law Enforcement Hall received a lot of business and made a lot of money. Just the Sect's disciples were summoned, and more than half of them were tortured. Finally, after a thorough investigation for half a year, they found the real culprit.
The higher-ups' guess was correct. The culprit was indeed the Zhao family, and the traitor personally admitted that he only wanted to die. The Zhao family's goal was to retaliate against the Mysterious Heaven Sect and attack the Mysterious Heaven Sect's reputation. Who told the Mysterious Heaven Sect to be the vanguard of the rebellion against the Zhao family?
As for taking Yang Lan along the way, they probably wanted to get information from Yang Lan about how the Mysterious Heaven Sect determined that it was the Zhao family that destroyed the Taitianmen in the mortal world. After all, outsiders didn't know about Yang Lan's confession, and only the core higher-ups knew. In the end, the core higher-ups wouldn't betray the Mysterious Heaven Sect.
These traitors didn't know much about the specifics. As for the location of the Zhao family, they didn't know a single one.
