Chapter 142 Take precautions before it happens
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen decided to take precautions. They knew very well that those jealous people would never give up. Since they had already sensed the dangerous aura, they had to be prepared in advance.
Yun Yao sat in the room, frowning slightly, thinking about the next countermeasures. She said to Chu Mochen: "Mochen, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find clues to the conspiracy, otherwise we will always be passive." Chu Mochen nodded, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his cold face: "You are right, Yun Yao. From now on, we must act more carefully and pay attention to any abnormalities around us."
Therefore, they first strengthened their own vigilance. When Yun Yao went out, she would pay special attention to the people around her to see if anyone was secretly following or monitoring her. Chu Mochen, on the other hand, would pay attention to the words and deeds of his fellow disciples in the training grounds to see if he could find any clues.
At the same time, they also began to investigate the source of the conspiracy. Yun Yao used some friends she made in the sect to inquire about the news indirectly. She found Lin Yu, a disciple with whom she had a good relationship, and asked softly: "Lin Yu, has anything unusual happened in the sect recently? Or have you heard some strange rumors about me and Chu Mochen?" Lin Yu thought for a while and replied: "Senior Sister Yun Yao, I haven't heard any special rumors, but some of my fellow disciples have behaved a little strangely recently. They always gather together and whisper, and they stop immediately when they see me approaching." Yun Yao's heart moved, thinking that this might be a clue, so she continued to ask: "Do you know who they are?" Lin Yu shook his head: "Not sure, they seem to be very alert, and I can't see their faces clearly every time."
Chu Mochen started his investigation from the aspects of the task allocation of the sect. He found that the arrangement of some tasks recently seemed unreasonable. Some disciples who were originally weaker were assigned to relatively dangerous but higher-return tasks, while he and Yun Yao had not received any new tasks. He suspected that this might be related to the conspiracy, and perhaps those people wanted to create trouble through the tasks. He found the elder in charge of task allocation and asked respectfully: "Elder, I would like to ask, what are the criteria for the recent task allocation? Why haven't my sister Yun Yao and I received any new tasks?" The elder glanced at him and said slowly: "Task allocation is naturally based on the needs of the sect and the strength of the disciples. You and Yun Yao have just completed an important task and need to rest and adjust for a while, so no new tasks have been assigned to you for the time being." Chu Mochen felt that the elder's answer was a bit far-fetched, but he didn't ask any more questions. He knew that the elder might also be involved in this conspiracy, or at least used by those people.
During the investigation, they also found some other clues. Yun Yao found that there were occasional traces of some items in her room being slightly moved. Although it was not obvious, she was always careful and still noticed it. She suspected that someone had sneaked into her room, perhaps looking for something or arranging something. Chu Mochen noticed that the amount of some resource reserves in the sect seemed to have abnormal fluctuations. The amount of some precious herbs and minerals decreased a lot in a short period of time. The management of these resources has always been the responsibility of specific disciples. He decided to secretly investigate these disciples.
They began to follow those disciples who behaved abnormally and those who were responsible for resource management. One day, Yun Yao saw several suspicious disciples sneaking towards the back mountain of the sect late at night. She immediately notified Chu Mochen, and the two followed them quietly. The disciples came to a cave in the back mountain, looked around, and then entered the cave. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen approached the cave carefully and heard vague voices coming from inside. They didn't dare to get too close to avoid being discovered, so they could only hide near the entrance of the cave and try to hear the conversation inside.
"We must teach Yun Yao and Chu Mochen a lesson this time. They have stolen our limelight, and we can't just let this go." A voice said viciously.
"But they are very alert now. What can we do to succeed?" asked another voice.
"I have already contacted the outside forces. They will provide assistance. We just need to act according to the plan." The first voice replied.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, both of them were shocked. They didn't expect that these fellow disciples would collude with external forces. The matter was far more serious than they imagined.
They continued to listen, but the sound inside became smaller and smaller, as if those people had left the cave. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen decided to enter the cave to check. There was a damp smell inside and some messy footprints on the ground. They carefully checked the cave and found some strange symbols and marks, but they did not know what these symbols meant.
After returning to the sect, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen began to study the symbols and marks. They consulted the sect's ancient books, hoping to find some clues. After some effort, they finally found similar symbols in an ancient book, which seemed to be related to an evil formation. They realized that those people might be planning a huge conspiracy, perhaps wanting to use this formation to deal with them or endanger the sect.
Yun Yao's heart was filled with worry: "Mo Chen, if they really set up this formation, the consequences will be disastrous. We must stop them as soon as possible." Chu Mo Chen nodded, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "That's right, we can't let them succeed. But we don't know their specific plan and time yet, so we can only continue to monitor and investigate."
In the following days, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen paid closer attention to the actions of those suspicious disciples. They found that those disciples were in contact with external forces more and more frequently, and some resources of the sect were constantly being transported to unknown places. They guessed that those people might be preparing the materials needed for the formation and the location for the formation.
In order to find more evidence, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen decided to take the risk and sneak into the residences of the disciples in charge of resource management. Late one night, they took advantage of the night and quietly came to the residences of those disciples. The room was dark, and they entered the room carefully and began to look for clues. In a cabinet, they found some letters and account books that recorded the flow of resources and the details of transactions with external forces. They were overjoyed and carefully put away the evidence.
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard footsteps outside. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's hearts tightened, they knew they might have been discovered. They quickly hid in a corner of the room, holding their breath. The door was pushed open, and a disciple walked in. He lit a candle and began to search for something in the room. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at him nervously, fearing that he would discover them. Fortunately, the disciple did not discover them and left the room after searching for a while.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen breathed a sigh of relief. They left there quickly and returned to their own residence. They carefully studied the letters and account books and discovered an astonishing secret. It turned out that the external forces that those fellow disciples colluded with were an evil organization. They had been trying to subvert the sect and obtain the treasures and secrets of the sect. The outstanding performance of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen attracted their attention. They believed that Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were the biggest obstacles to their plan, so they decided to get rid of them.
Yun Yao looked at the evidence, her heart filled with anger: "These people actually colluded with external forces and endangered the sect for their own selfish interests. We must make them punished." Chu Mochen also clenched his fists: "Don't worry, Yun Yao, we won't let them succeed. Now that we have evidence, we can expose their conspiracy to the elders."
However, they also knew that things would not be that simple. Since those people dared to plot such a conspiracy, they must have certain power and supporters in the sect. They could not act rashly, otherwise they might alert the enemy and even put themselves in danger. They decided to first find some reliable elders to discuss countermeasures and seek their support.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen found a respected elder in the sect and told him the evidence they found and the situation of the investigation. After hearing this, the elder's face became very serious: "You did a good job. You actually discovered such a serious conspiracy. This matter is related to the safety of the sect. We must not tolerate it." The elder said that he would support Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, and would work with other elders to investigate the matter and bring those traitors to justice as soon as possible.
With the support of the elders, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen felt a little more at ease. They continued to monitor the actions of those suspicious disciples, and at the same time, they were making final preparations to expose the conspiracy. They knew that a fierce struggle was coming, and they had to go all out to protect the safety of the sect and themselves.
