Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 99 Thorough Investigation (Part 3)

After listening to her explanation, everyone couldn't help but feel that they had benefited greatly.

There were still some disciples who were not present at this time. Even Xingbai, who had been hiding in Gu Shihan's sleeve, could not know whether there was anything wrong with these disciples who had not yet shown themselves.

After all, Xingbai's ability to observe and judge is limited to the people he sees in front of him.

Xingbai suddenly peeked out from his sleeve and said to Gu Shihan, "Hanhan, I'm going to secretly investigate and see if I can find any clues."

Gu Shihan nodded slightly in agreement and whispered, "Then you must be careful and pay close attention to your own safety. Don't alert the enemy."

After giving instructions to Xingbai, she continued chatting with the surrounding cultivators, discussing cultivation methods and various strange and unusual events.

Time passed quietly amidst the enthusiastic discussions, and the disciples' impressions of Gu Shih-han deepened and became more favorable.

Through their interactions, they gradually came to appreciate Gu Shihan's wisdom, quick wit, and kind and warm heart.

Just then, Xingbai sent a message that after a careful investigation, they had discovered the first person with abnormal behavior—Tian Dongyang.

Tian Dongyang was a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and he had only recently been promoted to an inner disciple of Danjian Peak.

After bidding farewell to everyone in a hurry, Gu Shihan rushed back to the residence of Venerable Danhua on Danjian Peak, but did not see Venerable Danhua.

Gu Shihan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she felt that this matter was of utmost importance and could not be delayed.

He took out a communication talisman, muttered incantations, and recounted in detail what he had discovered about Tian Dongyang. With a gentle wave of his hand, the communication talisman sped away into the distance.

A quarter of an hour later, a crisp sound of flying swords came from afar, breaking the original tranquil atmosphere.

A streak of light flew by swiftly and landed steadily in front of Gu Shihan in the blink of an eye. It turned out to be Wen Feng, the second disciple of the Hua Tian Sect Master, who came to pick her up.

Wen Feng bowed slightly to Gu Shihan and said, "Uncle-Master Gu, please follow me."

Wen Feng turned around and led the way, with Gu Shihan following closely behind.

Upon arriving at the sect leader's main hall, the atmosphere seemed somewhat strange, with a person bound to the ground by a binding rope.

Gu Shihan recognized this person; it was Bai Ling. She was just a little puzzled as to why Bai Ling was still in the sect.

According to the sect's rules, anyone who kills a sect disciple will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect.

Gu Shihan glanced at him and then looked away. She greeted everyone present before standing behind Venerable Danhua.

Sect Master Hua Tian nodded, then looked at Bai Ling and waved his hand, saying, "Remove Bai Ling's cultivation, expel her from the Five Flowers Sect, send her back to the Bai family, and attach her confession along with her confession."

A man and a woman walked in from outside the hall and took Bai Ling away, restoring peace to the hall.

Abolishing her cultivation and expelling her from the sect—was Bai Ling just cannon fodder like that? Gu Shihan sighed inwardly, lamenting how she had squandered such a promising talent. The Hua Tian Sect Master, seated in the main seat, spoke first: "Junior Sister Qingluo, is what you just discovered true?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan took Xingbai out of her sleeve and replied earnestly, "Reporting to the Sect Master, this is my contracted beast—Xingbai. It is extremely sensitive to all kinds of evil energy. Whether it is evil energy, demonic energy, yin energy, or malevolent energy, it can detect it immediately as long as it is slightly exposed to it. Based on Xingbai's perception, Tian Dongyang is indeed highly suspicious."

The Sect Master of Huatian Sect nodded slightly, looked at the fluffy Xingbai, remained silent for a long time, and solemnly instructed the person outside the door: "Quickly bring Tian Dongyang here secretly. Remember to be careful and cautious. Under no circumstances should a word of this be leaked, and no one should notice anything unusual." As soon as he finished speaking, several figures hurriedly left to carry out the order.

The once silent elder turned his gaze to Gu Shihan, scrutinizing Xingbai, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Junior Sister Qingluo, I wonder if it would be possible to temporarily lend our spirit pet Xingbai to our Enforcement Hall? I was thinking of having it help us to carefully patrol the inside and outside of the sect and find out all the hidden dangers one by one."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan nodded solemnly and replied, "Senior Brother Honghuang, borrowing it is naturally no problem. But there is one thing to clarify: you probably can't communicate with it directly; only I can understand what it means."

She looked at everyone present with a serious expression, and for a moment, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, as Gu Shihan said, in the current situation, if we want to make full use of Xingbai's role in investigating potential risks, it seems that the only way is to have her participate in this operation.

Sect Master Hua Tian glanced back and forth between Venerable Dan Hua and Gu Shihan, then respectfully asked Venerable Dan Hua, "Uncle-Master, do you think we should allow Junior Sister Qingluo to join our Enforcement Hall's operation this time?"

Elder Honghuang's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he quickly echoed, "This plan is brilliant! Junior Sister Qingluo, what do you think? Please rest assured, you will not have daily tasks like other law enforcement disciples. You only need to play a role in specific tasks and become one of our secret agents."

Standing to the side, Venerable Danhua stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Such an arrangement is not unreasonable! Qingluo, as a disciple of the Five Flowers Sect, you should contribute to the sect. This is your duty."

Without hesitation, Gu Shihan raised her head, her gaze firm and clear as she looked at Sect Master Hua Tian and Elder Honghuang, and said resolutely, "Yes! This disciple understands! I am willing to accept this mission!"

Time passed quietly, and about fifteen minutes later, Tian Dongyang was dragged to the sect master's hall by two law enforcement disciples, like a puppet who had lost consciousness.

His eyes were closed, indicating that he was still unconscious.

One of the disciples took out an exquisite jade bottle from his robes, gently uncapped it, and held the bottle to Tian Dongyang's nose, shaking it slowly a few times.

In an instant, a strange fragrance spread out.

A short while later, Tian Dongyang's previously motionless body trembled slightly, and then he suddenly opened his eyes, springing up from the ground like a spring.

"Who is it! How dare they plot against me in secret? They're asking for trouble!" Tian Dongyang roared angrily, his eyes wide with fury.

At the same time, a thick black mist suddenly appeared around him, as if a thick layer of dark clouds shrouded his body.

With the appearance of this black mist, a chilling and sinister atmosphere immediately filled the entire hall.

"A demonic cultivator?!" Just then, a cry of surprise rang out from the crowd, the voice filled with astonishment.

All eyes turned to Tian Dongyang, and a solemn expression appeared on everyone's face.
