Daoist Duobao and the pillars of the Jie Sect arrived one after another to report on the various important matters of the past decade.
Ten years in the mortal world was no more than the blink of an eye in the cultivation world.
Nothing earth-shaking had happened in the Jie Sect lately. They had only quietly detained several disciples whose behavior seemed strange...
Yet it was precisely these few abnormal disciples who drew Sect Master Tongtian's personal attention.
"Bring them before me."
The moment his words fell, the few people were already standing before the hall.
Judging by appearances alone, they were no different from ordinary Jie Sect disciples. Their robes were neat, their auras steady, and even the look in their eyes was identical. But the instant Tongtian opened his Soul-Moving Eye, he immediately sensed a murky, icy aura churning within them, like undercurrents surging beneath a deep pool. It stood in stark contrast to the clear and vast Dao charm of the Jie Sect.
He had seen this aura before on the two foreign visitors in the underground palace of Guixu. It was exactly the same.
Without a doubt, these people were spies quietly planted on Golden Ao Island by the foreign realm!
In merely ten years, they had silently infiltrated the Jie Sect's core territory. The meticulousness of their methods and the speed of their arrangements had long surpassed the Chan Teachings and Western Teach—and even eclipsed the Demon Race!
"Master, have you discovered something?"
Daoist Duobao stood to one side, his gaze blazing with anticipation.
Tongtian nodded slightly, his voice steady. "Their auras are mixed and discordant, utterly incompatible with the true teachings of our Jie Sect. Detaining them was indeed necessary. Though we have yet to uncover the cause, the hidden danger is already undeniable!"
