Lu An did not hide much and told Guo Santong about how he had followed the Chu Mansion in Yangguan City. Guo Santong nodded after listening. That's right, the news that had reached the palace and reached him had come from Yangguan City.
"So it was the two of you who defeated Chu Dongke. Thank you." Guo Santong cupped his hands.
"Sect Master, you don't have to be so polite. We also have orders to deal with the pirates for the so-called 'Blood Sucking Stone.'" Lu An said, "I'm not strong enough, but I don't want my wife to be the main force, so I want to join forces with your sect to eliminate the pirates. Your sect will be the main force, and my wife and I will be the support. We'll take down the pirates together. All the pirates' belongings will belong to your sect, and I only want the Blood Sucking Stone. What do you think? "
Guo Santong was stunned and looked at the two young men in front of him. If these two people were here on orders, then how strong was the power behind them? Especially since they were so young, it didn't seem like they were doing it on purpose. They must be talents from some big sect.
Since someone was willing to advance and retreat with the Holding Sun Sacred Land, Guo Santong was naturally very happy. Moreover, the two of them had made it very clear that the Blood Sucking Stone could make people lose their minds. He didn't want it, and he didn't want to be enemies with some big sects. He cupped his hands and said, "Okay, in that case, we'll each take what we need and eliminate the pirates together!"
Seeing that Guo Santong agreed, Lu An also relaxed and smiled. He said, "When is Sect Master Guo going to take action against the pirates?"
"With the two of you helping us, we hope to do it as soon as possible. I'll immediately ask the people in the palace to mobilize as soon as possible. We can set off from the seaside in seven days, "Guo Santong said. "However, I still hope that the two of you can meet with my deputy sect masters. It'll be easier to communicate with them. There won't be any problems with my deputy sect masters, right?"
Hearing Guo Santong's words, Lu An frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and asked, "Sect Master Guo, are there any new deputy sect masters in the Sacred Land promoted in the past two years?"
Guo Santong was stunned, but he immediately understood why Lu An asked this question. He thought for a moment and said, "I have a total of six deputy heads. Only one of them was promoted after he became a Level Six Celestial Master more than a year ago. His name is Li He. Do you doubt him?"
"It's not that I'm suspicious, but it's best to be careful," Lu An said. "What position does this person hold in your sect? What's his character like?"
"Because he has only been the Vice Sect Leader for a little over a year, there is not much for him to do. At most, he can teach the disciples and handle some daily affairs." Guo Santong thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "But there were other Vice Sect Heads who told me that since this person became the Vice Sect Head, his temper has become irritable. He used to be a kind person, but now he would hit and injure the disciples for no reason, and the disciples started to dislike him. "
Lu An's heart sank when he heard this. Even if a person did not possess the Red Moon Stone, as long as they absorbed its power, their character would be affected and changed. After thinking for a moment, Lu An said, "Sect Head, can you call him here alone? If he has used the Blood Sucking Stone, we will be able to detect it."
"Alright!" Guo Santong immediately said, "The two of you, please wait for a moment. I will send someone to call him here!"
Guo Santong left the study and returned quickly. Not long after, there was a knock on the study's door, and Guo Santong said, "Come in."
Li He pushed the door open and said, "Sect Head, you were looking for me?"
Li He had just entered the room when he immediately saw the two people wearing curtained hats sitting on the seats. Lu An And Yao also immediately looked at him. Before Lu An could notice anything, Yao suddenly reached out and touched his hand.
"He has used the Red Moon Stone before," Yao said to Lu An, condensing her voice into a line.
Lu An's body shook. He looked at Yao and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure," Yao said firmly. "This kind of aura can't be wrong."
Lu An frowned and turned to look at Li He. When Li He saw the two people who had suddenly appeared, he also became a little nervous. He stood at the door and was even a little unwilling to walk in.
Lu An turned to look at Guo Santong. Li He was after all a member of the Sacred Ground of Gathering Sun. He said in a deep voice, "Sect Head Guo, he has used the Blood Sucking Stone before."
Guo Santong's body shook when he heard this. He immediately looked at Li He. Li He's expression became flustered. He suddenly turned to look at Guo Santong, and happened to meet Guo Santong's eyes!
Under Guo Santong's sharp gaze, Li He immediately panicked. He understood Guo Santong's character very well. The moment he showed signs of panic, no matter how he quibbled, it would be useless.
Run!
Li He immediately turned and ran. He frantically pushed open the study's door and ran out. Guo Santong's face was ashen, and he clenched his fists. He never thought that there would actually be a traitor in his own sect!
This kind of situation was pointed out by an outsider. It was as if he had been slapped several times, causing his face to hurt!
"The two of you, please wait for a moment." Guo Santong stood up and said with gritted teeth, "I will go and capture this traitor!"
After saying this, Guo Santong's figure disappeared from Lu An's sight. From the other party's expression just now, Guo Santong was really angry.
Lu An And Yao looked at each other and revealed a trace of a bitter smile.
In less than two breaths, a rumbling sound came from the sky outside. It was like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire Sacred Ground. Everyone in the Sacred Ground was shocked and looked up at the sky vigilantly. After a few breaths, Guo Santong's figure appeared at the study's door again. This time, he was holding a person who was covered in blood and on the verge of death.
It was Li He.
Guo Santong walked into the study. With a swing of his hand, he directly threw Li He to the ground like a piece of rotten meat. Looking at Li He who couldn't even get up, Lu An frowned slightly. If he knew this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
"Speak!" Guo Santong was so angry that he couldn't even sit down. He looked down at Li He and angrily shouted, "What is your relationship with Tian Xing?!"
Under the threat of death, all of Li He's courage disappeared without a trace. He only hoped that if he said everything, he would be able to exchange it for a glimmer of hope. As if he was going to suffocate to death at any moment, he said everything.
Li He had always been a member of the Gathering Sun Sacred Ground. When he was young, he joined the Gathering Sun Sacred Ground to cultivate. From a disciple, he slowly became an elder. As an elder, he was respected and was even promoted to become the second-in-command of the Punishment Hall, second only to the Vice Sect Master. Just two years ago, he obeyed orders to investigate a disciple of the Judgement Sect. He entered the ocean and was later captured by Tian Xing. Under the temptation of Tian Xing's Blood Sucking Stone, he couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a Rank 6 Heavenly Master and became one of Tian Xing's subordinates.
In the past year, his main mission was to convey information about the threat to the pirates from the Sacred Ground. This was also why the Sacred Ground's attacks on the pirates had been fruitless. However, he didn't need to take the initiative to send people for Tian Xing to suck their blood. Otherwise, it might attract Guo Santong's attention.
When Guo Santong heard Li He describe how he fell and became an accomplice of the pirates, he was so angry that his entire body trembled. He didn't expect that a Vice Sect Master of the Sacred Ground would actually help the pirates and even kill the people of his own country. Did such a person still have any humanity left?!
"Speak!" Guo Santong roared and shouted, "Who else in the Sacred Ground is in cahoots with you? Don't leave a single one out!"
Li He's mouth was filled with blood as he slowly said the name list. What shocked Guo Santong and Lu An And Yao was that Tian Xing's infiltration of the Gathering Sun Sacred Ground had reached an unbelievable level!
From the elders to the disciples, there were more than forty spies in the Gathering Sun Sacred Ground. Many of them held important positions, just like how Lu An was the Peak Lord of the Great Accomplishment Heavenly Mountain, managing many disciples. After Guo Santong heard everyone on the name list, the veins on his face bulged. He couldn't suppress his anger, and a terrifying aura filled the entire study.
"Good! Good job! " Guo Santong gritted his teeth as he looked at Li He and said, "You really are a good Sect Master of the Sacred Ground. If not for the two of them discovering your shady business, I'm afraid the entire Sacred Ground would have been controlled by you. I would have been kept in the dark and played around by you!"
As he said that, Guo Santong suddenly walked out of the study and shouted, "Men!!"
His voice instantly spread throughout the Sacred Ground. All the Vice Sect Masters who were discussing matters in the great hall immediately stopped and rushed to the study.
Guo Santong threw the paper with the name list at the Vice Sect Masters and said fiercely, "Capture everyone on the name list immediately. Don't let a single one escape!"
