After the Elder glanced at Lin Bai, he nodded, then took Lin Bai and the others out of his cave dwelling.

"The Elder is here."

Just then, the crowd that had gathered dispersed one after another, automatically making a path for Lin Bai and the others.

The Elder led Lin Bai and the others straight to the disciple.

"What's wrong? What happened, making such a loud noise?"

The Elder looked at the disciple with a sunken face.

After all, there were outsiders present, so such unruly behavior was not very good.

"Elder, I don't know who stole my clothes. Not only that, but the mission token I just received two days ago is also gone."

The outer disciple looked at the Elder and Lin Bai and the others with a melancholy expression, his face very ugly.

"How could clothes be stolen? Who has nothing better to do than steal your clothes?"

"Look carefully again, did you put it somewhere else and forget?"

The Elder couldn't help but frown, then looked at the other person.

"Elder, it's true, I'm not lying. I've searched my cave dwelling inside and out, it's really not there."

The disciple shook his head, full of helplessness.

He felt that he must have seen a ghost; otherwise, how could the clothes have disappeared for no reason?

"You guys help him look for the clothes again. Who has nothing better to do than steal them?"

The Elder still didn't quite believe it, while Lin Bai and Wang Wang Yuping only exchanged a glance.

At this moment, Wang Wang Yuping also knew why Lin Bai had come over.

His Senior Brother was not here to watch the fun.

"Elder, I think his clothes might really be lost."

Lin Bai stood out at this time, and after the Elder heard what Lin Bai said, he reacted instantly.

"You mean..."

The Elder raised an eyebrow, feeling that if this was the case, then things matched up.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Lin Bai nodded.

"Have any strangers been here recently?"

The Elder looked at all the outer disciples present, but the answers he got were all head shakes.

"Elder, it seems I basically know the reason for this matter. In that case, we won't disturb you here. We will return to the sect first, and if there are any subsequent situations, please notify us."

Lin Bai spoke lightly. He needed to go back quickly to tell his Master and the Sect Master the news.

After all, this matter was of great importance.

"That's fine, we won't keep you. By the way, give my regards to the Elders of the inner sect when you go back."

The Elder nodded, then watched Lin Bai and the others leave the spot.

"Senior Brother, you say the people from the Yama Hall are so powerful that they could steal clothes silently without being discovered?"

"What level has their strength reached?"

Wang Wang Yuping frowned.

After leaving the outer sect, he couldn't help but look at Lin Bai. He was becoming more and more curious about the Yama Hall.

"Potato, are you stupid?"

"The realm of the other party must be at least the Supreme Realm."

"Did you forget that the four we met at the Taixuan Sect last time were Supreme Realm?"

"An ordinary person sent out is already at this level. Do you think their strength could be low if they can make the Sect Master and the others so nervous?"

Wei Xiang'an spoke lightly. For him, this was clearly something that was right there.

And the mission released by the other party was undoubtedly setting a trap for them. Once a disciple accepted it, it was likely that they would never return.

Actually, I have a way.

But with such a tempting completion reward, I reckon not many could refuse.

However, it just happened to be picked up by Lin Bai and the others, and Lin Bai was just vigilant enough to report this matter to Feng Feng Yunzheng, which allowed the Sect Master and the others to discover it immediately.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiang'an felt a bit terrified. If Lin Bai hadn't discovered the abnormality in time.

If other disciples had just gone like that, wouldn't they be like sheep entering a wolf's mouth, left to be slaughtered?

"Alright, let's go back quickly."

"I reckon the Sect Master and the others are still waiting for us."

Lin Bai didn't talk much nonsense, and the three of them returned to Wushi Land very quickly and came to the Sect Master's place.

Sure enough, when they returned, Feng Feng Yunzheng was still waiting here.

Not just the Sect Master, but also other Elders from the main peaks. When they saw Lin Bai, they all looked over.

Wei Xiang'an felt nervous when he saw his Master, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Lu Duan didn't seem to notice him.

"Sect Master, we are back."

Lin Bai stepped forward and said softly.

"How is it? Any gains? Was that person an outer disciple?"

The Sect Master asked hurriedly, and the others' gazes also stayed on Lin Bai.

However, Lin Bai nodded.

"Sect Master, this matter is probably a bit tricky."

"The other party is not an outer disciple, but the outer disciple's clothes were stolen, as well as the mission token the other party had just received."

"I suspect that the other party should have stolen the token from the outer disciple's residence and modified the mission content on the token."

"And stole their clothes, and sent the mission token up."

Lin Bai spoke lightly, stating his thoughts.

"There is this possibility. It seems the other party is indeed harboring malicious intentions."

"Sect Master, the Yama Hall has disappeared for so long, why would it suddenly appear again?"

"Could there be some other matters?"

Fairy Fairy Qinghua looked at the Sect Master, feeling that this matter was a bit suspicious.

After all, this Yama Hall had disappeared for at least decades, but now it had suddenly popped up, which made them have to suspect whether the other party had some other purpose.

"I dare not make a decision now, but this time the other party is clearly targeting our Wushi Land."

The Sect Master raised an eyebrow. However, from the current situation, it was beyond doubt that the other party was targeting them.

"Sect Master, what should we do now?"

"Could it be that we really have to go and see the place of the mission above?"

"But the other party is clearly prepared. If we really go, it's impossible not to fall into the other party's trap, and then it will only be a loss that outweighs the gain."

Lu Duan spoke lightly. He wasn't afraid of death, but it was clearly a dead end if they went, so if they still went, they would have to be brainless.

"I actually have a perspective."

Lin Bai said softly.

At this time, all the Elders and the Sect Master looked at Lin Bai, showing puzzled expressions.

They didn't know what method Lin Bai was talking about.

"Lin Bai, if you have any method, just say it. After you say it, we will all discuss it together."

The Sect Master nodded, waiting for Lin Bai's answer.

"If we... might as well just put this matter aside and stop worrying about it."

"But we can't completely give up; we still have to investigate in secret."

"I think if the other party wants to deal with Wushi Land, I reckon they definitely won't sit idly by."

"If they find that no one goes for a long time, then I reckon the other party will definitely think of other schemes."

"The most important thing is that we can't determine now whether the other party is targeting a certain person in our sect or the entire Wushi Land."

Lin Bai stated his doubts, and after the others heard what Lin Bai said, they suddenly felt it made sense.

"That's fine, then let's do as Lin Bai said. But who should we entrust this secret investigation to?"

The Sect Master nodded, but he was also in a bit of a dilemma.
