Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Nangong Yun arrived at the secret dungeon of the Discipline Hall.
A martial artist who looked like an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple lay slumped and unconscious on the ground.
It is obvious that this person's meridians and dantian have been completely controlled.
This person was a eunuch with the strength of a Minor Grandmaster, although he was dressed like an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple.
However, in front of Nangong Yun and Flowing Cloud Matriarch, all of this was exposed, and he was immediately seen through.
Immediately, Nangong Yun stepped forward and slapped the little eunuch awake.
"Tell me where you're hiding, and I'll spare your life," Flowing Cloud Matriarch said calmly, looking at the young eunuch who had regained consciousness.
The little eunuch seemed not to have heard Flowing Cloud Matriarch's question at all, and did not react at all.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch seemed to have anticipated this situation and nodded to Nangong Yun.
Immediately, Nangong Yun summoned the Discipline Hall personnel who were guarding outside to administer punishments.
Not long after, a series of screams rang out from inside the dungeon chamber.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly strong bodies of martial artists, especially those at the Grandmaster Realm, whose physical strength is further enhanced.
Only when the body is full of vital energy can one resist external forces from harming one's body.
Now, this little eunuch's meridians have been severed, his dantian has been controlled, and he has no vital energy left.
His physical condition was only slightly better than that of an average person, and he simply couldn't withstand the torture inflicted by these professional torturers.
After being tortured, the little eunuch became able to answer any of Flowing Cloud Matriarch's questions, though whether they were true or not remains to be verified.
Holding the paper containing the eunuch's confession, Nangong Yun followed Flowing Cloud Matriarch out of the dungeon.
"Go and arrest Xingbai. Leave this little eunuch for now, treat his injuries, don't let him die yet, then hand him over to Jiang Liu so he can interrogate him again."
Flowing Cloud Matriarch solemnly gave the instructions.
"Yes, Sect Master." Nangong Yun responded, and then personally led his men to capture Xingbai.
Since Xingbai was also Grandmaster, Nangong Yun directly brought along Xing He, the person in charge of the Discipline Hall, and several elders.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch returned directly to the Council Great Hall and waited for Nangong Yun to return with his people.
She really wanted to ask Xingbai what benefits Jiang Lan had given her that would make her betray the Flowing Cloud Sect.
She had just learned from the little eunuch that Xingbai had actually agreed to release the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect who was currently imprisoned.
This is a complete betrayal of the Sects.
Not long after, Nangong Yun, along with Xinghe and three other Grandmaster from the Discipline Hall, brought Xingbai over.
When Xingbai stepped into the Council Great Hall and saw Flowing Cloud Matriarch sitting at the head of the table, her expression changed.
However, she didn't dare to act recklessly, even though her dantian wasn't under control.
However, she didn't dare to make a move when facing Nangong Yun and the other six Grandmaster.
The fear is that if she takes action and gets caught, her fate will be even more tragic.
Now, with Flowing Cloud Matriarch in front of her, she dared not make any rash moves.
Moreover, she was also clinging to a sliver of hope, thinking that what she had done should not have been discovered.
Perhaps Nangong Yun only noticed something was wrong, or perhaps he brought her here for some other reason.
After Xingbai, Nangong Yun, Xinghe, and the others entered the main hall, the door was immediately closed.
Xingbai glanced back at the gate, and a sense of unease washed over her; she had a bad feeling.
After tonight, she probably won't be able to freely enter and exit this door anymore.
"Xingbai, I have never treated you badly, so why did you betray the Sects?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch looked at Xingbai and asked coldly.
Xingbai was already prepared for Flowing Cloud Matriarch's question.
He calmly replied, "Sect Master, have you heard any rumors? I, Xingbai, have always been loyal to the Sects and have never betrayed Sects."
Nangong Yun, who was standing to the side, took out the eunuch's confession and threw it in front of Xingbai, saying, "The person who contacted you has already confessed. Do you still want to deny it?"
Xingbai picked up the eunuch's statement, glanced at it, and threw it on the ground, saying, "This is only his side of the story. He did come to contact me, but I did not agree. Does this count as betraying the Sects?"
"Really? Then who are the people you've been in contact with?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes," Xingbai was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Since you've had contact with him, you must know he's a member of the Great Qian Imperial Family. Why haven't you reported it?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked in an icy tone.
Xingbai was completely unable to answer this time, because she was fully aware that the current members of the Great Qian Imperial Family had been labeled as traitors by the Flowing Cloud Sect.
She not only had contact with him, but had been in contact with him for a long time, yet she never reported it. If this is not betraying the Sects, then what is it?
Actually, she wasn't after the wealth of the Great Qian Imperial Family; she mainly wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could get her hands on the Great Qian Imperial Family's three major cultivation techniques.
She was just too greedy and wanted to take it all for herself, which is why the current situation has arisen.
"Sect Master, I really didn't want to betray the Sects. I just... I just wanted to take this opportunity to trick the Great Qian Imperial Family into giving me their cultivation techniques."
Xingbai quickly revealed her purpose, fearing that if she continued to hide it, she would probably be labeled a traitor.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch did not immediately express his opinion after hearing this.
In fact, she knew in her heart that what Xingbai said was probably true.
According to the confession given by the young eunuch, Xingbai accepted his money.
However, she insisted that Jiang Lan bring her cultivation technique in exchange for the opportunity to rescue the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect.
Even so, Xingbai had already promised to let the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect go.
While this may not be considered a crime of treason, the fact remains that he betrayed the Sects for personal gain.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch flashed and quickly approached Xingbai. Then, he stretched out his large hand and tapped Xingbai's body repeatedly, controlling all of Xingbai's dantian meridians.
Then he turned to Xinghe and said, "Throw Xingbai into jail and deal with him after further investigation."
"Yes, Sect Master. Who should be assigned to guard the place where the Haotian Sect elders are imprisoned?" Xinghe quickly replied.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch glanced at the four elders of the Discipline Hall behind Xinghe and said, "Your Discipline Hall should send two people to take turns guarding the area!"
The Discipline Hall is the most powerful and loyal hall in the Flowing Cloud Sect.
"Yes, Sect Master, I will definitely not let this happen again," Xinghe replied with a bow.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch nodded and then slipped out of the Council Great Hall.
Xinghe and Nangong Yun exchanged a glance, and then Xinghe carried Xingbai out of the Council Great Hall and headed towards the Discipline Hall prison.
Nangong Yun then arranged for someone to treat the eunuch's injuries, fearing that he might accidentally die, making it difficult for Jiang Liu to interrogate him.
