In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
The Xuanbu Center finally noticed something unusual.
The origin of the matter was that one of Zhou Boyang's subordinates tried to contact Zhou Boyang using a messenger talisman, but received no response.
Zhou Baiyang, a subordinate, has not thought much about this matter.
After all, practitioners often retreat, and it is normal for them to not respond to communication symbols occasionally.
But then Zhou Boyang, a subordinate, contacted those people Zhou Boyang trusted.
As a result, he tried many times and found that none of the dozens of people Zhou Boyang trusted the most responded to him.
It was as if these people had disappeared out of thin air.
This week, Zhou Baiyang's subordinates immediately went to investigate and found that Zhou Baiyang left Chilong Island with many of his confidants seven days ago.
It's okay to just leave Red Dragon Island, but everyone has lost contact, which is obviously wrong.
He immediately reported the matter to Lord Bai Ze.
When Bai Ze heard this, he became cautious.
Although he didn't like to see Zhou Boyang on weekdays, he felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Boyang.
But no matter how unwelcome he is, Zhou Baiyang is also the elder of Xuanzang.
He immediately mobilized the secret intelligence force of Xuanbu, and after investigation, he found that Zhou Boyang seemed to have gone to Blood Ridge.
the other side.
Lin Mu was practicing when he suddenly received a messenger from Yu Yan.
With a flash of his eyes, Lin Mu immediately knew that Zhou Boyang's matter had probably been discovered.
He was very calm and came to Yu Yan's official office in the Xuanbu Central Building.
"Lin Mu, the Lord just received the news that Zhou Baiyang took people to Blood Ridge and disappeared after that."
Yu Yan said.
"really?"
Lin Mu looked shocked.
Yu Yan immediately told what happened.
Hearing this, Lin Mu thought thoughtfully: "Elder Yu, actually we all know very well that although Zhou Boyang hid it well, the traitor who colluded with Xing Tianhui is probably him.
Now that he suddenly disappeared, could it be because he actually discovered that we had suspected him, so he led a group of elite confidants to betray Chilong Island? "
Yu Yan was startled.
She, the Lord, and others really didn't think in this direction before.
Now that I think about it, it's really possible.
After all, it was too much of a coincidence.
Zhou Baiyang disappeared, and so did his confidants.
It’s okay not to think about it. Once you think about it, it’s really easy to think of the possibility of collective defection.
"It's okay for you to say this to me, but you must not say it to others. If you say such things without the truth, you can easily get into big trouble."
Yu Yan said: "After all, Zhou Baiyang is an elder, and matters related to an elder are very serious.
In this way, I will be responsible for this matter and I will investigate.
But thank you for reminding me, just don’t do anything more, leave everything to me. "
"good."
Lin Mu smiled slightly.
He knew that Yu Yan was worried about him getting involved in the whirlpool.
Yu Yan walked back and forth on the spot. After a while, she said, "Follow me. Let's go to Zhou Baiyang's planet. Maybe we can get more clues."
Lin Mu was naturally happy.
Soon, the two of them brought several of Yu Yan's closest men to Zhou Boyang's planet.
On the central continent of the planet, there is a magnificent palace.
This is Zhou Baiyang’s daily residence.
Yu Yan, Lin Mu and his party entered here unimpeded.
On the surface, there was nothing unusual in the hall.
But upon closer inspection, Yu Yan and others discovered something was wrong.
Logically speaking, elders like them would have a lot of treasures and collections wherever they lived.
But Zhou Baiyang's residence is full of ordinary things on the surface, and there are very few things of real value.
Seeing this scene, a flash of understanding flashed across Lin Mu's eyes.
He knew that Zhou Boyang was not thinking of defecting for the time being.
But Zhou Baiyang did do something wrong.
People like this will definitely think about taking precautions and prepare an escape route for themselves.
Therefore, Zhou Boyang put all valuable things in a storage treasure and carried them with him.
However, this undoubtedly made Lin Mu's previous statement more credible.
"Elder, something is very wrong, Elder Zhou."
One of Yu Yan's confidants said: "Elder Zhou is a dignified elder. There is not even a single valuable treasure in the hall where he lives."
At this moment, the expressions of all the men brought by Yu Yan were very subtle.
Yu Yan's expression was ugly: "Let's check Elder Zhou's warehouse."
Under normal circumstances, as an elder, she would definitely not check another elder's warehouse.
This is very taboo.
Now that Yu Yan is doing this, it means that she is extremely suspicious of Zhou Boyang.
Everyone quickly arrived at the door of Zhou Boyang's warehouse.
If an elder wants to keep a planet running, no matter how much he covets treasures, he cannot collect all the treasures.
Some must be left in the storehouse to keep the planet functioning properly.
However, when Yu Yan and others opened Zhou Boyang's warehouse, they found that the situation inside was the same as outside.
The things in the warehouse are all worthless things.
Not a single valuable treasure or medicinal material could be seen.
"Zhou Boyang!"
Yu Yan was instantly furious.
At this moment, the truth has undoubtedly been revealed.
Zhou Baiyang really rebelled.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Zhou Baiyang took away all the valuables.
And with so many things to take away, this cannot be done in a short time.
Obviously, Zhou Boyang had planned this for a long time.
Lin Mu also smiled at this.
It seems that we really can't blame him for framing Zhou Boyang.
Zhou Baiyang may really have a rebellious intention.
Of course he knew that Zhou Boyang would not defect in a short time.
However, Zhou Boyang's approach undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.
He was really worried that Chilong Island would investigate further.
Many things cannot withstand in-depth investigation.
For example, Ding Qiang is a huge flaw.
Even though Lin Mu had set up two lines of defense, even if Ding Qiang was found out, Chilong Island would not be able to convict him. There must be no real evidence.
But in this case, the top management of Chilong Island will definitely become suspicious of him.
Now this is the most perfect.
As long as the top management of Chilong Island believes that Zhou Baiyang is defecting, this will buy him time.
At least in the short term, the top management of Chilong Island will not investigate the cause of Zhou Baiyang's death.
"Lin Mu, I didn't expect your words to come true."
Yu Yan took a deep breath and looked at Lin Mudao.
"Elder Yu, what should we do now?"
Lin Mu said.
"Even I can't make the final decision on this matter now. Let's report it to the Lord immediately."
Yu Yan said seriously.
Not long after, Bai Ze and others arrived at Zhou Baiyang's planet.
When they saw the situation in Zhou Baiyang's hall, Bai Ze and others' expressions were as gloomy as dark clouds.
A very senior elder actually betrayed Chilong Island. This was undoubtedly not a good thing for Chilong Island's reputation.
Especially their Xuanbu, they are the first to bear the brunt.
Bai Ze felt that he, the Lord, would become a laughing stock.
He really wanted to hide the news and cover up the scandal.
However, Zhou Baiyang's disappearance had already caused a lot of noise before, and there was no way to cover it up.
At this point, no matter how reluctant he is, he can only announce the news.
