The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 613 The Shocking Result

He sighed helplessly and took the medicine bottle in his hand.

Jiang Wentian is her master, so it's normal for Song Wanning to have such worries.

He also cannot expect others to believe in him unconditionally.

Deep down, however, he was still somewhat disappointed, as he had thought their relationship was different from others.

Liu Xingzhi pursed his lips, noticing Song Wanning's scrutinizing gaze beside him, and his expression became slightly unnatural.

"I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now."

He said to Song Wanning.

Song Wanning was even more surprised to hear this. She laughed and said, "It's nothing. I'm just curious because it's rare to see you in such a mood."

"I was wrong about what I said earlier."

She knew that her words were somewhat blunt and even hurtful.

But she didn't want to pretend.

Both sides apologized, and the atmosphere in the cave finally eased.

The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

This was the first time Song Wanning had seen Liu Xingzhi smile, and her mood brightened considerably.

Her gaze gradually turned to the void, and she began to anticipate the person behind her emerging from the water.

……

Meanwhile, Liu Lanyi and Leng Qingzhu were still leading their people, rushing to the designated location.

Before they arrived, personnel had already been deployed at both locations.

However, those disciples had no idea what the sect's true intentions were; they only knew that the sect wanted them to check if any monsters had appeared.

The two groups waited and waited, and finally, a large number of monsters appeared in one place.

The men lying in wait noticed something was wrong and immediately retreated, sending a message to Luo Hantian.

Upon receiving the news, Luo Hantian felt something was off.

He had been clinging to a sliver of hope that he could clear himself of suspicion as one of his own, but now…

The facts have shown that there was indeed a traitor within the sect.

He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, all that remained in his eyes was endless sharpness.

Luo Hantian took out a communication talisman and immediately sent a notification to Liu Lanyi and Leng Qingzhu.

Both of them changed their expressions, then tried their best to adjust their expressions and informed everyone that Song Wanning had changed her position.

"Elder Liu Xingzhi has found the elixir and has already left with Wan Ning, so we shouldn't worry!"

Leng Qingzhu pretended to be relieved and smiled.

Upon learning that Song Wanning was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and happily headed back.

The same was true for Liu Lanyi; no one suspected anything. After all, with Liu Xingzhi around, it was only natural that Song Wanning would recover.

So everyone turned back again, including Jiang Wentian in Liu Lanyi's group.

Several hours later, the group returned to the Ancient Cold Sect. Leng Qingzhu and Liu Lanyi did not dare to go to the sect leader immediately, but instead communicated privately using communication talismans.

"What? It's not Jiang Wentian?"

Liu Lanyi asked with some surprise, her heart filled with astonishment.

Logically speaking, Jiang Wentian and Song Wanning have a grudge, so it's impossible for Jiang Wentian to care about Wanning so much.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingzhu felt a chill run down her spine, and a bad premonition arose within her.

"Sect Master, are you saying the information wasn't leaked from Junior Sister's side?"

It took a long time for Luo Hantian to respond, "Hmm..."

After these words were spoken, all three fell into a long silence.

For Liu Lanyi and Leng Qingzhu, this news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving them completely stunned.

The people on Leng Qingzhu's side were all their closest relatives.

Those are our master, senior sisters, and senior brothers...

If the spy is really among these people... Leng Qingzhu simply couldn't bear to think about it, her fists clenched until they were red.

Unlike Liu Lanyi, she had spent a long time with her sect members and had developed a deep bond with them.

Now they're telling her there's a traitor in her sect?
He even tried to kill Wan Ning?
Leng Qingzhu swayed unsteadily, her body slightly unsteady.

Liu Lanyi also kept her lips tightly closed, hoping that it was all a coincidence.

The faces of her fellow disciples flashed before her eyes, and she found it hard to believe that there were spies among them.

After a long silence, Luo Hantian spoke again, "Should we tell Wan Ning now?"

This matter has now become even more difficult.

"Yes, we must tell Wan Ning!"

Leng Qingzhu's voice was icy; no matter what, Wan Ning's life must not be harmed.

"Okay, but the next step of the investigation..."

Luo Hantian hesitated before asking, choosing to consider their feelings.

Leng Qingzhu's voice was full of determination, "Sect Master, please don't hold back. We will cooperate fully and strive to find the murderer as soon as possible!"

"Yes, we will fully cooperate!"

Liu Lanyi's attitude remained resolute, her eyes revealing a sharp edge.

Whoever it is, we must find them and never let them harm the entire cultivation world.

"Okay, wait for my message!"

Luo Hantian was pleased to hear this and immediately told Song Wanning the news after hanging up the communication talisman.

Upon hearing the news, Song Wanning's expression suddenly froze.

A flicker of shock crossed his eyes.

Liu Xingzhi was also taken aback. Now that his master had been cleared of suspicion, he felt no joy at all.

He looked at Song Wanning's expression and saw that she had fallen silent, which made him feel uneasy as well.

"you--"

Liu Xingzhi wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know where to begin. He could only open his mouth and then close it again.

"how so……"

Song Wanning realized what was happening, and her mood plummeted.

Upon hearing this news, she was reminded of her past experience of being betrayed by Bai Yang and the others.

These were her closest fellow disciples, and now that the same old story was repeating itself, a chill ran through her heart.

The light in her eyes dimmed, and her expression became deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern her true emotions.

At this moment, Song Wanning's aura changed.

Liu Xingzhi glanced at Song Wanning with some concern, but said nothing. He simply continued to sit beside her, silently keeping her company.

After a long while, Song Wanning finally sighed softly and replied to Luo Hantian.

Now that we have a direction for the investigation, let's investigate with all our might. Only by bringing the person behind it to light can we find the monster's trail.

After the communication was completed, Song Wanning stood up, looked at Liu Xingzhi beside her, and gave a wry smile.

"Let's go. Since they dared to betray the sect, they must pay the price. We must use a trick to lure them out!"

They can no longer sit idly by and wait for their doom; only by taking the initiative can they seize the upper hand.

"Ah."

Liu Xingzhi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't be too sad."

"sad?"

Song Wanning raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "This little setback is not enough to make me sad."

She has endured even the most difficult experiences, though she is somewhat disappointed.

She waved her hand and led Liu Xingzhi out of the cave.

The surrounding monsters have been cleared out, and now that we've left the cave, there are no obstacles in our way.

They need to find a safe place to lure out the person behind this!
