182: Arrest suspicious persons

Lin Tiannan and the two Elders had just returned to the secret chamber when he casually cast several hand seals, and several rays of light disappeared into the crystal ice coffin.

Lin Ruohan suddenly opened her eyes, and with a wave of her jade hand, the crystal ice coffin instantly turned into ice shards, and her blackened face also regained its rosy complexion.

"Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, the four of us will fully activate our Divine Sense, each responsible for one direction, and together with Young Master Qin and the others, monitor the every move of all Disciples. If any suspect is found during this period, first remember their name and appearance, and then we will collectively apprehend them and bring them to the Sect's main hall for interrogation!" Lin Ruohan commanded.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Soon, the Elders and Lin Ruohan concealed their figures and ascended high above the Tian Yuan Sword Sect, each guarding a direction.

With five Returning Void Realm powerhouses, plus Lin Ruohan's Body Integration Realm cultivation, their combined Divine Sense could barely cover the entire Sect.

Within the Sect, many low-level Formations laid out in the Disciples' Immortal Caves could not stop the Divine Sense probing of Returning Void Realm powerhouses.

......

Time slowly passed, a quarter of an hour later.

The Disciples on the Martial Arts Field, after a period of confusion, disbelief, and painful wailing, all returned to their Immortal Caves.

Qin Tian fully activated his Divine Sense, taking in all the Disciples in his responsible area. Some returned to their Immortal Caves and wailed in pain, while others gathered in groups to discuss whether to withdraw from the Tian Yuan Sword Sect.

Even more, a man and a woman had just returned to their Immortal Cave when they began a battle of the century.

"Oh my goodness!" Qin Tian cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, what kind of people are these? The Sect Master just died, and they start fighting as soon as they get back, showing no sadness over the Sect Master's death?"

Qin Tian continued to observe the every move of the Disciples, with his Divine Sense particularly focused on that pair of a man and a woman.

"Damn it, this woman is just average. If she were a great beauty like Lin Ruohan, and I could discreetly approach behind that man and directly knock him out with a mace, it would be quite exciting. What a pity!" Qin Tian sighed inwardly.

At this moment, in the area Lin Ruohan was responsible for, the same scene occurred: a man and a woman had just returned to their Immortal Cave and began passionately embracing.

Upon seeing this, she immediately withdrew her Divine Sense, blushing crimson and trembling.

But as soon as she withdrew her Divine Sense, a strong curiosity immediately arose in her heart.

"I'll just watch for a moment! I'll just watch for a moment! I'm just monitoring them, not intentionally peeking!" Lin Ruohan comforted herself.

Thinking of this, her Divine Sense slowly probed over again. As soon as she saw that scene, her delicate body trembled violently.

She had just witnessed an astonishing scene: that female Disciple actually...!

She patted her little heart and thought to herself, "Could what Qin Tian said before be true? Can a husband and wife really do that? But... but why do I feel it's so disgusting!"

She quickly withdrew from her Divine Sense probe, fearing that watching too much would pollute her pure heart.

When she thought of the scene in the secret chamber, two blushes appeared on her pretty face.

Moreover, her wound was still burning with pain, but to prevent the Elders from noticing, she endured it, and her walking showed no abnormalities.

Time flowed by, and an hour passed in a flash.

Qin Tian calculated the time and looked at the state of the Disciples. Either they had already started to Cultivate, or they were doing other things; no one was sending messages anymore.

He quickly transmitted a message to Lin Ruohan via Divine Sense, "Little Hanhan, we can close the net now. Those who needed to send messages have probably already sent them out."

Lin Ruohan glared fiercely at Qin Tian, cursing inwardly, "Damn scoundrel, I am the dignified Sect Master, how dare you call me that?"

Thinking of the nickname Little Hanhan, she unconsciously thought of her parents. Her parents used to call her that, and it had been over thirty years since she had heard anyone call her that.

But they were severely injured by those beasts from the Demonic Path Sect and eventually died. The reason she Cultivated so desperately was to seek revenge on those beasts from the Demonic Path Sect.

Thinking of the deep hatred for her parents, her eyes turned blood red, she gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists.

But thinking of the Demonic Path Sect, that colossal entity, even if she Cultivated for another hundred years, she would not be able to avenge this blood feud.

"That's right, Qin Tian's background is extraordinary; he must be a Young Master from a powerful force. Perhaps I can rely on the power behind Qin Tian. As long as I can personally kill that beast, Elder Black Dragon, in the end, it would count as avenging my parents!" Lin Ruohan thought to herself.

"It seems my attitude towards Qin Tian needs to be better. If Qin Tian can avenge me, even if I become his woman, it would not be impossible."

Coming back to her senses, she quickly transmitted a message to the three Elders via Divine Sense, instructing them to secretly apprehend the suspicious individuals and bring them to the main hall.

Qin Tian, on his side, found only one suspicious person, a rather delicate-looking young woman in green. During this time, she had made a move to send a message. He concealed his figure and, without anyone knowing, easily captured this young woman and brought her to the main hall.

Soon, the Elders and Gray Wu Chang and others secretly apprehended all the suspicious individuals they found and brought them to the main hall.

Qin Tian looked closely and found that there were only five suspicious individuals in total: three men and two women. He himself captured one person, Gray Wu Chang also captured one, and the other three Elders each captured one.

Lin Ruohan, on the other hand, did not find any suspicious individuals. She was currently concealed behind the main hall and had not come out.

The young woman in green whom Qin Tian had captured showed a look of horror when she saw the three Elders in the main hall, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Grand Elder, what is going on? Why are you apprehending us? What wrong have we committed?" a male Disciple asked, bowing.

Lin Tiannan and the two Elders frowned when they saw Qin Tian had also brought Xiao Lan.

"Qin Tian, are you mistaken? Xiao Lan once risked her life to endure a palm strike from a villain to save the Sect Master. We barely managed to revive her. She absolutely cannot be the one who poisoned her!" Lin Tiannan frowned.

"Hehe, Uncle, I didn't say she was the one who poisoned her, and I don't even know her. It's just that I did indeed notice she had an action of sending a message during that time!" Qin Tian laughed.

"What? Grand Elder, are you looking for the culprit who poisoned and harmed the Sect Master? How could we be the culprits? Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, you must investigate clearly!" a Disciple said in horror.

The other Disciples, upon hearing this, all showed expressions of horror, trembling with fear.

Even if they were not the ones who poisoned her, now that they were captured, they must be suspected. If the Grand Elder were to capture a few of them as scapegoats to establish his authority in front of everyone, then it would be troublesome.

In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. Sometimes, there is no logic to be found; a bigger fist is the hard truth.
