Jing Hongchen's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

He has always known that there is a mole inside Mingdetang, and the mole should be a certain senior soul master around him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for external forces to know the specific location of the 100,000-year-old embryo and steal it.

It's just that he has always been extremely confident in Mingdetang's defense, and it was difficult to interrogate those senior soul masters, so he didn't care.

However, now that he thought about it carefully, the internal influence might also come from the outside.

Jing Hongchen recalled several abilities that Huo Yuhao had shown him. With his meticulous mental detection and elusive simulation, and with enough time, the other party was fully capable of finding out the location of the hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's true soul made Jing Hongchen suspicious. It was entirely possible that the other party was from the true sect.

After thinking about it, he sat in his temporary office in the teaching department and asked Lin Jiayi, the teaching director, coldly: "Jiayi, is Huo Yuhao still in the college?"

Lin Jiayi was stunned, wondering why Jing Hongchen suddenly asked such a question, and said in confusion: "Master, students are not allowed to leave the academy without special reasons."

"I haven't received his application to leave school recently. He must be in the college."

Jing Hongchen said coldly: "I'm afraid he's gone. If he wants to leave, no one will be able to watch him."

"Jiayi, send someone quickly to find him."

"Yes, Hall Master." Seeing the serious look on Jing Hongchen's face, Lin Jiayi did not arrange for anyone else, and simply went to the sixth grade teaching building to find him in person.

Soon, with Jing Hongchen looking a little stunned, Lin Jiayi brought Huo Yuhao to him.

"Hall Master, Huo Yuhao has brought it to you." Lin Jiayi reminded him.

Jing Hongchen came back to his senses and said, "Okay, Jiayi, go and do your work."

Only Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao were left in the office.

Huo Yuhao asked: "Master Hongchen Hall, why are you looking for me?"

Jing Hongchen's worries were instantly dispelled.

If Huo Yuhao is really an undercover agent from the Noumenon Sect, secretly supporting the Noumenon Sect, then it is impossible for him to stay in Sun Moon College after the Noumenon Sect's attack.

Jing Hongchen's expression remained solemn and he said, "Huo Yuhao, do you know what happened in Mingde Hall yesterday?"

Huo Yuhao answered truthfully: "It has been spread in the academy that a group of powerful foreign forces raided Mingde Hall, causing immeasurable losses."

Jing Hongchen nodded, sighed, and said thankfully: "Fortunately, it didn't cause too many casualties."

Huo Yuhao echoed: "Really? What a blessing among misfortunes. The reason why Hongchen Hall Master called me here today is..."

Jing Hongchen showed a wry smile: "Despite this, almost all of the more than 5,000 experimental tables in Mingde Hall were destroyed, and only a few dozen were still intact."

"Huo Yuhao, do you know why my hall master called you here today?"

Huo Yuhao looked puzzled: "I don't know."

Jing Hongchen put on a serious expression: "I want to take this opportunity to promote your soul-guiding machine tool project."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and then said in a surprised tone: "Master Hongchen Hall, are you telling the truth?"

Jing Hongchen nodded solemnly: "Well, it's just a coincidence that I think so."

"On the one hand, due to this attack, there are not so many resources and manpower to provide high-level topics, so many topics and research have to be interrupted. The research that is still ongoing must be extremely important."

"On the other hand, the core array of an experimental table is not complicated, but it is quite cumbersome for a soul engineer, and we don't have the extra manpower to make it now."

"So I think this is a very good opportunity to promote the development of soul-guiding machine tools."

Jing Hongchen's forehead gradually relaxed, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes when he looked at Huo Yuhao, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Xuan Ziwen's current research project has also been stopped. Now you two can start this project in advance. I will provide you with metal supplies and other resources."

Huo Yuhao said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Hongchen."

Although he said this on the surface, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

This old toad seems to be hiding a knife behind his smile.

Jing Hongchen nodded with satisfaction again: "Well, Huo Yuhao, I am very much looking forward to your performance. After all, you are one of the best spiritual attribute soul masters in the world. Coupled with your talents and unconstrained ideas, you are simply a born soul master."

Mentor Miaozi."

Listening to Jing Hongchen's praise of him, Huo Yuhao felt something was wrong in his heart more and more intensely, but he remained calm.

"Thank you very much for the compliment, Master Hongchen."

Jing Hongchen suddenly seemed to remember something and asked casually: "Spiritual attributes... Oh, by the way, Huo Yuhao, I don't know what your first martial soul is yet. Can you tell me?"

Huo Yuhao finally knew Jing Hongchen's purpose, and the other party must have suspected him.

But he remained calm. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, the mental suggestion had quietly turned on. He quickly thought about the countermeasures in his mind and replied: "My first martial soul is the magic eye."

There is no need to hide anything, speaking openly will make you more honest.

"Eyes? Are they the original martial soul?" Jing Hongchen asked casually.

"yes."

After receiving Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer, Jing Hongchen frowned: "What a coincidence."

"Huo Yuhao, do you know what the unknown force was that attacked Mingde Hall yesterday?"

Huo Yuhao replied: "I don't know, it seems that it hasn't spread in the academy yet."

Jing Hongchen said slowly: "That unknown force is the Noumenon Sect."

After speaking, he frowned and faced Huo Yuhao with a questioning look instead of words.

The atmosphere between the two instantly smelled of gunpowder.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed and he pretended to be surprised, then quickly regained his composure and nodded: "So it turns out that only the No. 1 sect in the mainland like the Noumenon Sect can cause such great damage to Mingde Hall."

Jing Hongchen said in a cold voice: "Huo Yuhao, you are the Noumenon Martial Spirit. Are you from the Noumenon Sect?"

Huo Yuhao did not answer directly, but responded to him with an indifferent look: "Master Hongchen Hall, are you doubting me?"

Jing Hongchen said calmly: "During special periods, anyone who has entered or exited Mingde Hall will be subject to strict interrogation. The master of this hall has not ordered anyone to search your body, which is already a liberal approach."

Huo Yuhao did not answer the words, but his eyes were still cold.

Jing Hongchen continued: "It is not an easy task to invade Mingde Hall from the outside. Mingde Hall is more than a hundred meters deep underground. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We also need to accurately find the weak points to attack.

There must be an insider who knows the topography of Mingdetang very well to be able to do it."

Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed and said: "Master Hongchen Hall, do you think I have the opportunity to understand all the terrain of Mingde Hall?"

"You also know that Mingde Hall has a lot of rules. There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and you are not allowed to run around casually. How can I have the chance to walk through the entire Mingde Hall?"

Jing Hongchen didn't refute and agreed that he would continue.

"And to put it bluntly, even if I was really an internal agent of the Noumenon Sect, why would I still stay in Sun Moon College after the Noumenon Sect's attack was over? Am I just waiting to be caught?"

Jing Hongchen nodded, expressing his approval of this sentence, and the suspicion that was not strong in his heart was gradually dispelled.

He asked casually: "Then who do you think is the most likely candidate for this insider?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Master Hongchen Hall, I think you can change your thinking."

"If the person you think is a suspect disappears after this attack, then he is the most suspect."

Familiar images flashed through his mind one after another, and finally, a figure that never appeared again froze, and Jing Hongchen couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's him?"

That was an eighth-level soul master whom Jing Hongchen regarded as a confidant. Hearing from others that he died in this attack, Jing Hongchen regretted it for a long time.

But logically speaking, with his strength, self-protection is definitely enough. How could he be killed by outsiders so easily?

And he really knows Mingdetang very well. If you want to choose an internal agent, there will be no more suitable candidate than him.

But why would he do this?

A trace of confusion and resentment flashed through Jing Hongchen's heart.

They asked themselves that they had never treated each other badly, or even entrusted them with important tasks, but why would the other party betray them?

Although rationality told him that the other party was most likely a traitor, Jing Hongchen was unwilling to face it.

After a long silence, he chose to escape and said indifferently: "Huo Yuhao, are you really not a member of the Noumenon Sect?"

"My hall master has heard that all soul masters in the world who have original martial arts souls should be regarded as disciples of the original sect."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to continue speaking, he was suddenly shaken and turned his head in surprise. A figure in black robes appeared out of thin air beside him.

The figure in black robe opened her mouth and let out a cold female voice, and a white chill came out from the black cloth covering her face.

"He is from my northern land."

Snow Emperor?

Why did she come out of the spiritual sea without permission?

Even Huo Yuhao was startled by Snow Emperor's sudden action.

"Who are you?"
