Chapter 1498: Chapter 808: Traitor Besides, there was another issue that Mo Hua was more concerned about. During the break, under a large shady tree on Refining Demon Mountain. Mo Hua looked around, seeing no one else, then whispered: "The two of you being captured into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, does it mean that... your Sect..." Mo Hua paused, lowering his voice even further, "... has a traitor?" Ling Huxiao and Ouyang Mu both had complicated expressions. After a moment, Ling Huxiao also whispered: "Elder Shangguan told me not to mention it to others, but..." But Mo Hua was not an outsider either. Moreover, Mo Hua already knew everything about the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. Ling Huxiao continued: "Elder Shangguan... suspects that in the Sect, there are some disciples, even elders, who collude with other Sects, selling our disciples’ information." "He said he had already reported to the Ancestor, who was furious, and the Rushing Void Sect will conduct a secret investigation internally, and told me to keep silent, not to let the news leak out." Mo Hua nodded. The exact situation is still undetermined. It is possible that there are outright traitors within the Rushing Void Sect, betraying the Sect for personal gain. It could also be that simply because Ling Huxiao’s talent was too outstanding, some old-school elders, out of jealousy and fear, sold out Ling Huxiao’s information, plotting to remove this promising Sword Dao genius through others’ hands. If Ling Huxiao could grow, leading the way, it would naturally be beneficial for the Rushing Void Sect. But sometimes, the Sect’s interests do not align with certain elders’ interests. Some people only want to leech off the Sect. Whether the Sect prospers means little to them; once the Sect declines, they change allegiances, leeching off another influence. Mo Hua looked again at Ouyang Mu. Ouyang Mu seemed a bit lost. "That day, I really didn’t know anything..." "I was just cultivating normally in the Disciple’s Residence, felt a bit sleepy, took a nap, and when I woke up, I found myself in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons." "Did you come into contact with any suspicious people before that?" Mo Hua asked. Ouyang Mu thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Did you take any Pills?" "Yes." Ouyang Mu nodded, "But they were all Pills used for regular cultivation, like Foundation Building Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills." Mo Hua frowned slightly, suddenly recalling something, "Were all these Pills yours?" "Some were mine, and some..." Ouyang Mu thought for a moment, suddenly startled, "Brother Ma gave them to me..." Mo Hua’s gaze slightly hardened. As expected... That day at the foot of the mountain, he encountered Brother Ma from the Tai’a Sect with Little Wood, claiming to be entrusted by Senior Brother Ouyang Feng to deliver cultivation Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, and Jade Slips to Little Wood. At that time, he felt that this "Brother Ma" had an indistinct air of Evil Qi about him. Initially, he thought it might have been accidentally picked up. Now it seemed, this Brother Ma might really have a problem. "Where are those Pills?" Mo Hua asked. "I gave them all to my brother." "Senior Brother Feng?" "Yes," Ouyang Mu replied, "After I returned from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, my brother came to my room and took some things away, saying he wanted to check them." Mo Hua nodded. Senior Brother Feng was mature and meticulous, evidently he also sensed something. Since this was the case, it would not be good for him to interfere. Moreover, this was a matter internal to the Tai’a Sect and Rushing Void Sect, which had nothing to do with him, a little disciple of the Taixu Sect, after all, he wasn’t a junior brother of Tai’a Sect or Rushing Void Sect either. After class, the disciples are free to go Monster Hunting. Ouyang Mu was wooden in demeanor, not well acquainted with his peers. Ling Huxiao was solitary, also not very sociable. So, this direct lineage of the Tai’a Sect and a Heavenly Pride of the Rushing Void Sect ended up mingling more with the disciples of the Taixu Sect. The elders of the Tai’a Sect and Rushing Void Sect, seeing this, could only sigh helplessly. ... A few days later, Mo Hua unexpectedly encountered Song Jian on Refining Demon Mountain. This was also the first time Mo Hua had seen Song Jian since the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons incident. Song Jian had not changed much, he was wearing a dazzling Taoist Robe of the Sever Gold Sect, paired with a luxurious Spirit Sword, with fair skin, looking quite the pretty boy. What had changed were his followers. Recently, the situation in the Sever Gold Sect had been turbulent. After the incident in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the Jin family was ousted, the Song family rose to power, and began reshuffling, sidelining the Jin family cultivators, supporting the Song family factions to gradually seize control of the influence within the Sever Gold Sect. The Jin family declined, and the Song family was no longer what it used to be. And Song Jian, as the core direct lineage of the Song family and a "meritorious young disciple" in the chaos of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, naturally received heavy use. Nowadays, when he went out, the number of his followers was almost double what it had been before. Even some minor branches of the Jin family, seeking to survive, willingly became his "tagalongs," going out of their way to please him. Nowadays, Song Jian was quite swaggering when going out. However, upon seeing Mo Hua, Song Jian’s flamboyant demeanor slightly subsided, his expression became somewhat complex, hesitating to speak several times. "Mo..." Before he could speak, another disciple of the Sever Gold Sect sneered: "That kid from the Taixu Sect in front! You’re clueless, daring to block Young Master Song’s path." "Indeed, if you don’t move aside soon, be careful not to get into trouble..." "Move quickly!" Song Jian’s followers said arrogantly, one after another. Mo Hua’s expression was subtle. The Taixu Sect tore down the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, causing the Jin family to step down and allowing the Song family to rise. Yet, the Song family’s attitude towards the Taixu Sect didn’t seem much different from the Jin family’s. Not only was this the case with the upper echelons of the Sever Gold Sect, but the disciples below were the same. Moreover, they caused trouble arbitrarily in the Refining Demon Mountain, recklessly stirring up trouble, and were almost all beaten by the Taixu Sect disciples, who were "armed to the teeth" with formations by Mo Hua, thus fostering a deep-seated hostility towards the Taixu Sect.
