But, did Su Ye really go down the mountain to look for those traitorous disciples?    

Bullshit!    

Those so called "deserters" disciples were already in the Southern Abyss Immortal Sect, and under the arrangements of Mo Xingtian and the aconite, they had already become Southern Abyss Immortal Sect's disciples. How could Su Ye spit out such a bunch of talents that he had already obtained?    

Furthermore, the twelve inner and outer sect elders had led twelve thousand disciples to defect, and then went missing without leaving any trace. If no one else could find them, then why did they give it to Su Ye to do so?    

No matter how foolish Su Ye was, he would never hand over these people. As for the matter that Huangfu Wuwei had purposely handed over to him, whether it was suspected or confirmed that he was the one who did it, he did not care. As long as they could not find the ones who betrayed them, then that would be a matter of life and death.    

The reason why Su Ye agreed to help Huangfu Wuwei with this, was not only because he saw that Huangfu Wuwei's resolute attitude was to go with the flow and act as he pleased, but also because he wanted to take this opportunity to go out.    

But then again, how did the twelve inner and outer sect elders and twelve thousand disciples betray and escape, how were they so easily taken by Su Ye to the Southern Abyss Immortal Sect?    

Speaking of which, it was actually very simple.    

That day, when Su Ye just called the red candle over to the Di Ye Peak, Su Tian came over. And actually, Su Tian's arrival was entrusted by Xu Cang Shan to Su Ye to pass on a piece of information.    

Huangfu Changtian and Spiritual Master Tian Xing had never imagined that in the Heavenly Mystery Ancient City, after Su Ye killed him, there were still two elders of the Hall of Protectors who swore a blood oath to submit to Su Ye. These two people were precisely Xu Cang Shan and Yi Shouchuan.    

It could be said that after leaving the Heavenly Mystery City, the two of them had become Su Ye's subordinates. It was just that in order to hide their whereabouts, the two of them did not contact Su Ye on purpose.    

In order to quickly suppress the criticism from the outer sect disciples towards Huangfu Changtian, the Heaven Punisher Spiritual Master chose to use the Hall of Protectors to carry out a bloody suppression. He had people call the elders of the Hall of Protectors over, and Xu Cang Shan and Yi Shouchuan were one of them.    

On the surface, the two of them appeared to listen to Spiritual Master Tian Xing, but they secretly came to a tacit understanding. They recorded Spiritual Master Tian Xing's plans and the danger that Huangfu Changtian was facing into a jade slip and sent a trusted aide to deliver the jade strips to Su Tian, then passed it through Su Tian to his hands.    

After Su Ye thought about it, he also felt that he had completely fallen out with Huangfu Changtian and Spiritual Master Tian Xing in Qing-Yun Sect. However, he did not want to get rid of the two of them for the time being, so he decided to make use of the internal conflicts within inner sect to kill Huangfu Changtian.    

Therefore, Su Ye secretly sent a message to Mo Xingtian, telling him to go to Nanyuan City to bring the Mountain River List over. On one hand, he wanted Su Qingwu to help him, so that he could create a situation of him betraying the sect, and the people who did that were immediately taken away by Mo Xingtian in one go.    

With the special environment of the Southern Abyss Valley, the cover of the acquired spiritual treasure, even if the Huangfu family had experts who were good at guessing who was in the right to take part in the battle, they would not be able to pinpoint the whereabouts of the traitors.    

Afterwards, the Heavenly Punisher found that it was impossible to report this to Huangfu Changtian, and decided to escape. It just so happened that he was spotted by Xu Cang Shan and Yi Shuchuan, who were following closely behind him at the time. Thus, he decided to keep it that way and cooperated with Mo Xingtian a bit, waiting for the Spiritual Master Tian Xing to kill him using the ancient bell, which he viewed as his greatest obstacle to escape. Mo Xingtian would then take action, capture him in one go and directly bring him back to Southern Abyss Valley.    

This way, it would be considered as having completely tricked Huangfu Changtian.    

It had to be said that with regards to this scheme, Su Ye still felt a bit of accomplishment from using a backhanded method to kill a small opponent.    

Tang Shan.    

A small mountain two hundred miles away from Qing-Yun Sect.    

Su Ye brought the people from the Discipline Hall and the Hall of Protectors to a halt here.    

Su Ye's cold eyes flashed like lightning, his gaze swept across these people one by one. He knew in his heart that of the two hundred people he had randomly selected from the Discipline Hall and the Hall of Protectors, besides one Xu Cang Shan that he could trust, no one else was trustworthy.    

There must be some of Huangfu Wuwei's spies here who were specifically responsible for spying on Su Ye's movements while he was looking for the escaped disciple.    

But he did not care about it. He did not even think about finding out these spies, since there was no meaning in doing so. He deliberately let himself get rid of Huangfu Wuwei's informants, which made him seem too guilty instead. Rather, it would be better to just let himself be under Huangfu Wuwei's eyes for an unchanging moment, and frankly let Huangfu Wuwei see everything. At that time, these spies will gain nothing, and this will make Huangfu Wuwei even more confused.    

"Everyone, I was ordered to search for the escaped disciples. This is definitely a difficult mission, no one knows where those disciples that betrayed us went. The sky is big, and we, these people, are just like headless flies that are messing around, ultimately we are looking for a needle in a haystack. So I decided to separate us. "    

Su Ye slightly paused, "There are about two hundred of us, divided into ten groups, and go towards different directions. If we can't find any clues, then we will meet again at this place in ten days. We will think of other ways then. "    

With that, Su Ye's face revealed a smile, looking very gentle.    

"Other than Teng Fei, Bao Butong, Ye Fan, Fu Yuanyang and the other four, there are exactly twenty of you in a group. Anyone of you who wish to be in group with me can bring it up on their own accord."    

"I …"    

"I, I, I …"    

As the sound of his voice faded, several people raised their hands, their reactions extremely intense. Su Ye knew clearly in his heart that those who raised their hands were not necessarily all Huangfu Wuwei's spies, but his spies were definitely one of them.    

Su Ye did not choose at all, with just a casual point of his finger, he assigned twenty people to form a group with him. Adding Fatty's group of four, they formed the group with the largest number of people among the ten groups.    

Originally, Su Ye had planned to call Xu Cang Shan together to guard against any needs on the road. However, he suddenly recalled that as the Hall of Protectors, Xu Cang Shan did not seem to have any relationship with him.    

This time, Xu Cang Shan and Yi Shouchuan had actually already been involved in the betrayal. If they were to take the initiative and let Xu Cang Shan be in his group, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. He knew that Huangfu Wuwei was not a pushover in the slightest.    

Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to exclude Xu Cang Shan, and eliminate even the tiniest bit of possibility of being suspected.    

The facts proved that Su Ye's caution was right.    

After Su Ye randomly took two hundred people away from the Guardian Hall and Discipline Hall, although Huangfu Wuwei didn't seem to move on the surface, he had actually already secretly sent Hua Song to check on the people Su Ye had taken away.    

When Su Ye led the others and returned to the Qing-Yun Sect, Huangfu Wuwei had, as expected, also asked Hua Song to investigate the people Su Ye had appointed to be in the same group as him in greater detail.    

If Xu Cang Shan was really in the group, Huangfu Wuwei would definitely investigate him thoroughly. At that time, it would be hard to say whether or not Xu Cang Shan would not reveal anything.    

After grouping.    

The ten groups of people each chose a direction, pulled apart the distance, and began to search for the whereabouts of the disciples who betrayed them, as well as any clues.    

Mo Xingtian had personally taken care of the matter of the defection with the Mountain River Diagram, so such a search was naturally useless.    

Su Ye secretly sneered in his heart, and also pretended to search around. Naturally, he also gained nothing and purposely showed off some of his agitated emotions, scolding and showing it to the spies.    

At this moment, he suddenly realized a problem.    

knew that searching like this was useless, but since he knew, why did he have to put on all sorts of postures and bring his people out to search?    

Su Ye pondered in his heart, before suddenly becoming a little apprehensive.    

Huangfu Wuwei clearly had a reason that he needed to help, and what kind of reason was that?    

Su Ye carefully thought back to the process of meeting Huangfu Wuwei, and then carefully thought about Huangfu Wuwei's situation and the possible goals that he could accomplish, and he suddenly realized.    

"This Huangfu Wuwei is truly cunning, he has already determined that I was the one who betrayed the sect, even if it wasn't, there's at least an 80% chance that he was the culprit. He wanted me to come out and look for him, so that he can use me to find clues regarding the disciples who escaped?"    

"No, it's not that simple."    

"Even if I was careless and fell into his trap, allowing him to successfully find the disciple who betrayed and flee, and in the end proving that I was the one who did it, wouldn't Huangfu Wuwei be extremely embarrassed? He clearly hasn't made sufficient preparations to clash head on with Su Qingwu?"    

Su Ye thought about it carefully and finally understood Huangfu Wuwei's intention. Regardless of whether or not this betrayal was actually him doing it, Huangfu Wuwei still planned to investigate him. Not only did Huangfu Wuwei not plan to pursue the matter, he wanted to take the initiative and give him the chance to find the fugitive disciple. If he found the fugitive disciple, it would clear the suspicion, and it would be a meritorious service. Huangfu Wuwei could then rightfully give him authority and status, and even more benefits.    

Understanding all of this, Su Ye was amused, and his expression became even more playful. He understood Su Qingwu's fierceness even more than Huangfu Changtian. He did not intend to test Su Qingwu's bottom line at all, at least not now, where he wanted to rope him in.    

It was a pity, even if he guessed Huangfu Wuwei's intentions, Su Ye did not plan to hand over the disciples who had already entered the Southern Abyss Immortal Sect.    

He decided to use another method to report back. Not only would it bring him practical benefits, it would also benefit Huangfu Wuwei at the same time.    

"Young Master Hua, you've finally come in handy this time." A strange expression swept across Su Ye's mouth.
