Taiyi Dao Gate.

Qingcang Peak.

"Of the five suspects we identified earlier, one has already left the sect and gone outside the city. The remaining four are still in the sect and have not made any moves for the time being."

"The person who left the sect stayed in a dilapidated temple. Although it has been cleaned up, there is still the aura of an array there, as well as a small amount of the aura of faith power. If we had arrived any later, it would probably have dissipated to the point where we wouldn't have been able to detect anything!"

"This person is the most likely candidate right now, but we can't be completely sure yet. The other four are still suspects, and we need to continue to verify them."

"After all, there's a possibility that it's not just one person."

Gao Zhuoran, the head of the Enforcement Hall, arrived at the main hall where the sect leader was to report on the latest investigation findings.

Not many people within the Taiyi Sect knew about the investigation into individuals with ties to the demonic path.

Besides those who were qualified to know, Gao Zhuoran deliberately spread this news to some other people.

If we don't alert them, how could those people make any noise, or even find any clues so quickly?

Proceeding step by step, investigating little by little, will take even more time and effort to uncover the truth.

In such a long period of time, a person could easily run away without even realizing it!
Furthermore, Gao Zhuoran disliked procrastination; these troubles within the sect could only be better dealt with by a swift resolution.

The better the effect, the better, because the people will be caught before they can react.

"Did that person return to the sect?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Cang Yu asked.

Within the sect, everyone undergoes a thorough investigation before entering to prevent them from being spies planted by others.

However, sometimes, special methods are used to plant people.

Even if there are no other reasons, there may be other reasons that would cause these people who were originally from the sect to betray it.

Human nature is complex, but most people ultimately choose self-interest.

People who are truly selfless are very rare. In fact, some people's selflessness is only superficial, and they are completely different in reality.

In certain special circumstances, even those who were originally on the same side can be tempted by others.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

"came back!"

Gao Zhuoran nodded.

If that person hadn't returned, then the current report would be a completely different story!

After confirming that a suspect had left the sect, he had already arranged for people to secretly track him down.

However, since the other party is a master of the "Sitting in Oblivion" realm, it is necessary to maintain a certain distance to avoid being discovered by the other party.

If that person tries to escape, these people will naturally pursue them.

Since the other party escaped with their physical body, they naturally had a way to deal with it.

When masters of Taoist arts clash, the physical body becomes a significant limitation.

One cannot abandon one's physical body until one has broken through to the realm of immortals.

After confirming these suspects, Gao Zhuoran had already taken some actions against them. If these people were innocent, his actions would not be used and would have little impact.

But if the person has a problem, then it's a different story!

"Then you should continue to expend more energy investigating."

"If it's confirmed, after clarifying the situation, proceed directly to trial!"

Sect Master Cang Yu looked up at the sky and spoke slowly.

There are many things that happen within a sect. Some people use the sect's power to seek personal gain, but as long as they don't cross his bottom line, he generally won't interfere.

He understood the principle that "if the water is too clear, there will be no fish."

Within a sect, a certain balance is needed, and as the sect leader of the Taiyi Sect, he also needs to maintain this balance.

However, the situation changes when the interests of the sect are violated!

At this point, he would use the most ruthless methods to eliminate those who had violated the interests of the sect, which was also what he, as the head of the Taiyi Sect, was responsible for.

He personally arranged this investigation into the collusion between the Taiyi Sect and cults and demonic sects.

The three Supreme Elders of the sect, who were at the level of immortals, were also aware of the matter and left it to him to handle.

We will never tolerate those who betray our sect; this is our attitude.

"Don't worry, Sect Master, I will definitely handle this matter well."

"This is also a good opportunity to clean up some parasites within the sect."

"Some people have been living comfortably for too long, and they've overreached themselves."

"It's time to let these people know what clan rules are!"

Gao Zhuoran said with a confident expression.

There were some things within the sect that he couldn't stand and had wanted to get involved before, but the sect leader seemed unwilling to do so, preferring instead to maintain this stable balance.

This incident of collusion with cults and demonic sects has implicated corrupt elements within the sects.

If external forces want to infiltrate a sect, the best targets are naturally the sect's parasites.

He could also take this opportunity to get rid of these parasites and make the sect cleaner.

When dealing with Zeng Jun's matter, some people had already been purged, but it wasn't enough. There were quite a few parasites within the sect, so this was a good opportunity to continue purging them.

Some people haven't reached Zeng Jun's level, so they haven't reached the point of trial yet, but they are still punished accordingly based on the severity of their circumstances.

He also intends to deal with the other people involved within the sect in the same way.

Once the powerful backers are removed, these people will have no support, and the corrupt officials will naturally be more exposed, making the cleanup process much smoother.

The inner court.

Shi Yi came out of the alchemy hall, carrying a lot of things in his hands, all of which he had exchanged for with sect contribution points inside the hall.

After the Qu Sheng incident, he spent most of his time in seclusion cultivating, and he has already made considerable progress during this period.

He is now close to comprehending the meaning of the immortality of gold, and thus begins to prepare for breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm.

The reason he came to the alchemy hall after leaving seclusion this time was because he wanted to break through to the Yuan Dan realm in one go after comprehending the meaning of the immortality of gold.

Shi Yi originally wanted to wait for the sect rewards that Gu Qianqiu had mentioned to him, to see what other good things there were, but since there hadn't been any news yet, he decided not to wait for the sect rewards any longer and to stick to the original plan and focus on breaking through his Dao cultivation level first.

After all, the rewards from the sect are there for him to see, and with Gu Qianqiu fighting for them, no one else will be allowed to embezzle them!
Furthermore, the matters involved in his rewards are far from simple. If you want to embezzle them, you should be prepared to have your outstretched hand chopped off.

After Shi Yi came out, carrying his loot, he headed straight for his residence.

Along the way, other inner disciples saw him and greeted him warmly.

Since he secured a place in the top ten of the Inner Court, his reputation within the Inner Court has grown increasingly stronger!
Most of the disciples in the inner courtyard went to watch the battle, so they naturally knew who he was. In the eyes of some, he was an extremely legendary figure because he broke many records in the inner courtyard.

His future potential is limitless, and many people want to befriend him, some even waiting for him. Shi Yi responds politely to these people, but doesn't choose to become overly familiar with them.

Because of their close relationship, these people would keep coming over, affecting his daily cultivation.

Shi Yi knew that interpersonal relationships were important, but ineffective interpersonal relationships would only waste time and would not help him in any way.

For Shi Yi, his time is precious now, and there's no need to waste it on these things.

After returning to his residence, Shi Yi hung up a sign indicating that he was going into seclusion.

He has already exchanged all the cultivation resources he wanted this time.

Shi Yi had plenty of sect contribution points and the medicines in the alchemy hall were also plentiful, so the whole process went relatively smoothly.

In fact, during the process of breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm, compared to other aids to the breakthrough, the exchange price of the Ning Yuan Pill is still more expensive. This is also the item that consumes the most sect contribution points when many inner court disciples break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

As for Shi Yi, since he already had the Heavenly Fire Golden Pill in the Bodhi Seed Space, there was naturally no need to exchange it for the Condensation Pill.

After all, using the Condensing Essence Pill can only condense a nascent core, which is not as good as Heavenly Fire Yuan Qi, let alone Heavenly Fire Golden Core!

The remaining cultivation resources that assist in breaking through to the Yuan Dan stage do not consume a large amount of sect contribution points.

This was especially true for Shi Yi. When he ranked in the top ten of the inner academy, he earned a considerable amount of sect contribution points, not to mention that he already had a lot of sect contribution points in his possession.

Although Shi Yi had not done any sect missions since joining the Taiyi Sect, there were other ways to obtain sect contribution points besides doing sect missions.

Participating in the sect's internal competitions and challenges will yield significantly more sect contribution points than Shi Yi could earn from ordinary missions.

After returning to his residence, Shi Yi controlled the array on the courtyard and went back inside. With a slight thought, Shi Yi entered the Bodhi Seed Space.

His gaze fell upon the Heavenly Fire Golden Pill floating in the air.

Although he absorbed a lot of his power, the aura on the Heavenly Fire Golden Core remained the same as before, without any change.

Within the Bodhi Seed Space, the power absorbed by Shi Yi from the Heavenly Fire Golden Pill will replenish itself.

"Based on my current cultivation progress, I will definitely be able to fully comprehend the meaning of the immortality of gold within the next two days, and then I can break through to the Yuan Dan realm in one fell swoop."

"Now that all the preparations are complete, I can focus on achieving my breakthrough!"

Shi Yi's gaze was firm, and he then sat cross-legged in front of the Heavenly Fire Golden Pill to comprehend it.

Golden auras appeared on Shi Yi's body and then flowed into his Yin Spirit, making his Yin Spirit aura even more profound.

The most obvious sign was the appearance of a golden light within his Yin spirit.

The light wasn't dazzling, but it was very clear, and it was the result of Shi Yi's hard work these past few days.

The meaning of immortality of gold has already been condensed within his body, but since he has not yet broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, this aura only appears within his Yin spirit.

To fully condense and become the true essence of the primordial core, he still needs to break through in his cultivation of Dao techniques.

Qianya Peak.

"Disciple pays homage to master."

Inside the main hall, Qin Yao bowed to Bai Tianya.

After the events at the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm concluded, Qin Yao also went into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate, and her aura became even stronger, clearly indicating that she had gained a lot in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

"Get up!"

"I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you."

"You should stop investigating the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm!"

Bai Tianya looked at Qin Yao and said slowly.

Knowing that Qin Yao had returned to Qianya Peak for a period of seclusion, he secretly investigated the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Because there had been some activity within the sect, Qin Yao sensed something was amiss and began to investigate secretly.

If the matter had ended with Zeng Jun, then Qin Yao wouldn't have had any problems continuing the investigation.

However, even after Zeng Jun's matter was resolved, the Enforcement Hall was still investigating, and as one of the twelve guardian elders of the sect, he naturally knew what was going on.

At a time like this, Qin Yao's commotion is not a good thing.

He even arranged for someone to investigate Qin Yao's situation again.

If the other party is a spy for a cult or evil sect, then no matter how outstanding the other party is, he must eliminate them.

Within a sect, no matter how good a disciple is, nothing is better than the sect itself. For the sake of the sect's prosperity, sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice some things.

Anything detrimental to the sect was eliminated immediately.

"Yes, master."

Qin Yao looked puzzled but agreed nonetheless.

She knew that Bai Tianya, as her master, would never harm her.

"This matter is somewhat complicated, and you don't need to know about it for now."

"Just know that the more you investigate, the more trouble you'll get."

"If the Enforcement Hall comes looking for you, just tell them the truth and don't get into any conflict with them."

Bai Tianya was naturally aware of Gao Zhuoran's thoughts as the head of the Enforcement Hall.

As members of the same sect's twelve guardian elders, they knew each other quite well.

They have similar goals, but different philosophies.

Previously, the sect leader's philosophy was similar to theirs, so the sect was relatively peaceful. However, after the betrayal of the sect was exposed, the sect leader's attitude has changed.

Gao Zhuoran, the head of the Enforcement Hall, took the opportunity to carry out his enforcement duties.

Theoretically speaking, there was nothing wrong with his actions. The sect rules should be followed by everyone, rather than making exceptions for some people.

If it only involves a small number of people, the impact will not be significant. However, Gao Zhuoran, the head of the Enforcement Hall, wants to do more, and the scope of the impact will be the entire sect. In that case, the impact will be significant, and it will also cause some turmoil within the sect.

This is something that Bai Tianya and others did not want to see.

But now the situation has changed, and there's nothing they can do about it.

That's why he specifically reminded Qin Yao to avoid her being affected.

He thought highly of this disciple, which is why he was able to act in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm and bring him honor, hence the extra reminders.

"The disciple understands."

Qin Yao replied very seriously.

She could tell from Bai Tianya's expression that what she wanted to investigate was more complicated than she had anticipated.

Continuing the investigation would not only fail to yield the answers she sought, but could also implicate her. In worse cases, it might even affect Qian Yafeng, which is why Bai Tianya's attitude was so serious.

Since that's the case, she wasn't going to be stubborn and could only wait and see.

Just because some things can't be investigated now doesn't mean they can't be investigated in the future, or that she won't need to investigate them at all; the truth will eventually be revealed to her.
