BXBX NOVEL Chapter 385: Finding The Inner Ghost
Chapter 385: Finding The Inner Ghost
"It seems like there\'s really an initiator behind this," Yang Song muttered and looked out of the window.
Yang Song did not want to care about this so much, but since the Sky Cloud Sword Sect was going to integrate with his Sky Decree Sect in the future, then he did not mind helping Xu Hailing clean up the internal structure and establishing a firm personality for outsiders to see.
As soon as Yang Song stepped out of the room, his appearance changed instantly, and became Xu Hailong.
When the disciples saw him, they bowed to him tentatively and wondered why the sect master came back so fast.
Yang Song nodded to them indifferently and walked to the place where elders generally gathered.
Seeing him, those elders got up one after another. Among them, a female elder whose appearance was the oldest asked him strangely, "Sect master, why did you come back so silently? Has the mission entrusted by Senior Yang Song been completed?"
Yang Song knew this female elder. She was the second grand elder, Su Tufei. Among everyone present, Su Tufei was second only to Xu Hailing.
Yang Song nodded slightly before he took out a flat rounded palm-size jade slip and injected True Energy into it.
The green jade slip lit up for several seconds before it died down.
The few other elders in the hall probably knew why he did this.
The jade slip was nothing else but a communicating device. Well, not completely because this thing could only be used to send signals to other elders.
Each elder had several jade slips of the same type, but each jade slip represented a unique call. And the jade slip that Yang Song had just used was a jade slip for the gathering of all elders.
The elders inside the hall and in other places all felt a certain jade slip in their collection gave off an energy wave.
The elders at the main base of the sect could not come. But it did not matter. After this big event ended, they would go back and relay the content of the meeting to them.
…
That jade slip was the highest order, meaning every elder had to come for an urgent meeting.
Soon, all the elders except for the first great elder gathered inside the hall.
Everyone sat down on their respective seats and looked at "Xu Hailong". They more or less knew why he wanted to initiate this meeting.
The topic was really as they expected.
"As you all have known, the rumor about me practicing an evil art is spreading wildly. Now, even outsiders know about it. But all of you present know that the truth of this matter is not like that. In my opinion, some people deliberately did this to create conflict in our sect."
Yang Song deliberately paused and looked at the expressions of everyone. Then, he continued, "Naturally, the culprit is no one else but an inner ghost of our sect. So next, I plan to do a deep clean in our sect to eliminate all the troubles before we integrate with the Sky Decree Sect of Senior Yang."
"Do you have any opinion on this?"
The elders looked at each other and started a round of discussion. All of them knew the importance of this matter, so they should not have any objection to this. What was more, their Sky Cloud Sword Sect did not have negative divisions like in those first-rate sects.
In the end, all the elders expressed their support.
"I agree, sect master, we should keep our sect clean, lest troubles come when we integrate with the Sky Decree Sect of Senior Yang."
"Right, I always feel like there\'s a spy in our sect. Do you guys remember the incident two years ago?"
"I remember. That time, our sect found a Spirit Crystal mine in a cave under the Thousand Grass Lake, but on the second day, when we took manpower there, the Tri Fire Sect unexpectedly also went there, saying that they found the mine before."
"True. The Tri Fire Sect and our Sky Cloud Sword Sect\'s relationship turned even worse since then."
"So, do you guys suspect that a spy from the Tri Fire Sect is in our sect?" Yang Song, who was silent, asked them to confirm his guess.
"Yes, sect master."
"Yes, if we\'re not wrong, it should be a spy from the Tri Fire Sect. After all, the grudge between us and the Tri Fire Sect is the heaviest."
At this time, Yang Song shook his head slightly and interjected, "Not really. Since the grudge between us and the Tri Fire Sect is so heavy, won\'t both parties guard against each other the heaviest?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"Then, sect master, do you mean that it\'s not the Tri Fire Sect at all?"
"Nope. I still suspect that it\'s the Tri Fire Sect, however, there is more than just the Tri Fire Sect…"
All the elders present were stunned again. This guess… was too unbelievable, right?
But the more they thought about it, the more that they felt that there was a big conspiracy behind it. Everyone gulped and a cold sweat broke behind their backs.
If it was really as the sect master said, then, there wouldn\'t be just one force, but many forces!
In other words, the conspiracy this time was a joint creation of many forces.
Think about it, their Sky Cloud Sword Sect was rising too smoothly these years, even before Yang Song came, they were about to join the royal family on the basis of Xu Zhihua\'s great talent.
After Yang Song came…
Ordinary people might not be able to guess it, but the top forces could more or less guess that the recruitment of those with elemental talents should be related to Yang Song.
They did not know the true reason why he did this, but when they thought that he was about to create a sect, then, the result was 80% as they had secretly guessed.
Yang Song intended to recruit those people with elemental talents into his sect!
To do this, Yang Song actually did not use anyone else but the Sky Cloud Sword Sect. This showed what?
It showed that the Sky Cloud Sword Sect was already with Yang Song.
Since it was so, with its accumulation in power, sooner or later, the Sky Cloud Sword Sect would find those old sects that had hatred with it to settle the old accounts.
In the process of growing, anyone would inevitably create enemies. The Sky Cloud Sword Sect was no exception.
Its number one enemy was other than the Tri Fire Sect, what came after that was Hollow Spirit Sect, Red Crane Pavilion, Profound Spring Sect, Myriad Sword Sect, Jade Axe Sect, and several more.
Without exception, all the sects above were second-rate sects and old enemies that had shed blood with the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.
If these guys really joined forces as they thought, then the consequence would be disastrous.
But they were still puzzled about one thing. The Sky Cloud Sword Sect could be counted as Senior Yang\'s subordinate now, but they still did not care about it and wanted to eliminate the Sky Cloud Sword Sect?
As their minds turned, they found out that this matter was really mysterious and an investigation had to be done in a quick manner.
From their expressions, Yang Song could more or less guess something even if he did not know about the matter 100%.
After all, he also had experience in controlling a force, so the so-called conspiracy was nothing new to him.
He purposely gathered their attention back and said, "Guessing without any solid basis is useless, the important thing we have to do now is to clean our sect and catch the inner ghost. Our plan will start with the inner ghost."
"Regarding this matter, I don\'t intend to let any of you guys do it at all. I intend to ask for Senior Yang\'s help. After all, if there is an unusual action between us, it will easily alarm the spy. What\'s more, his elderly is older and he has more experiences in dealing with things. Do you have any objection?"
Yang Song always asked them if they had any objection, in fact, it was Xu Hailong\'s habit. He had to copy Xu Hailong\'s habit to avoid suspicion.
The elders thought for a while before they shook their heads, indicating that they did not have any objection. The sect master\'s plan did not have any loopholes.
This meeting was made in secret, and no disciples were alarmed. Therefore, when the elders left, they also left silently and pretended as if nothing happened.
Yang Song also left the meeting hall and wandered around the Sky Cloud Sword Sect\'s temporary residence with invisibility on.
Yang Song turned on the Eye of Truth and looked at everyone around him. He wanted to see if he could find the spy with this method.
But it was obviously not easy even with this ability. Although it was a second-rate sect, the Sky Cloud Sword Sect had a quite a long history, hence, it was not strange that it had thousands of members.
Not to mention, not all people came this time. There were still thousands of members back at the Sky Cloud Sword Sect\'s main base.
But Yang Song still wanted to try his luck. After all, the rumor started here, not in the sect, meaning that the culprit should be in this place, too.
