Bai Zhan cast a cold glance at him.
"Fool, who else could it be besides Ruan Fuxi and Sheng Yanzhou?"
For so many years, their Bai Mountain Sect had been thriving here, and yet, just when they had made a move against Ruan Fuxi, this incident occurred. Sheng Yanzhou was wealthy and protective of Ruan Fuxi; it had to be him. If the Bai Mountain Sect really moved, it would only serve to make them the laughingstock of everyone, a complete disgrace!
Bai Zhan's expression was icy as he looked at Bai Wu and asked, "What do you want?"
Bai Wu lowered his head and spoke softly, "Elder Brother, the female ghost I sent out is gone."
Then he quickly added, "I’ll go myself right away; I will make them pay!"
Although they were brothers of similar age, Bai Wu was afraid of his elder brother. Having been in the Bai Mountain Sect for so long, he noticed that some exceptionally talented disciples mysteriously disappeared after reaching adulthood. He vaguely sensed that this matter was somehow related to his elder brother. He even suspected that their parents' deaths were connected to him, but he dared not ask.
Moreover, his elder brother's talent in metaphysics was not particularly outstanding; he himself had yet to reach the Golden stage, while his brother was just one step away from the Infant stage. Even if he acted as the acting sect leader and used the sect's resources, it was impossible for his cultivation to increase so rapidly.
Thus, Bai Wu felt a chill run down his spine, fearing that he might also become one of the vanished disciples.
At this moment, upon hearing Bai Wu's words, Bai Zhan snorted coldly.
"Waste! You can't even handle such a trivial matter."
He squinted his eyes and continued, "Fine, let this matter go. Don't take any further action. Once the exchange conference is over and Ruan Fuxi and Sheng Yanzhou are dealt with, everything will be fine."
Seeing that his elder brother did not pursue the issue any further, Bai Wu let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
A heart that had not yet fully let go was soon met with the sound of Bai Zhan's voice.
"Have you found the sect leader's token of the Bai Mountain Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wu's heart sank. He lowered his head, fear evident in his voice.
"Not yet."
Bai Zhan narrowed his eyes, a shadow passing over his gaze.
"What about Ruan Changlin and Bai Tang? Did they have it?"
Bai Wu hurriedly replied, "Brother, I swear we didn’t find anything. When they died back then, we turned their rooms upside down, but there was nothing."
Without the sect leader's token, Bai Zhan's position as leader was tenuous at best; he could only act as the acting leader. This was precisely why some members of the Bai Mountain Sect did not respect him. They had searched for so many years, yet the token seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. It was no wonder that Bai Zhan was anxious.
At this moment, Bai Zhan's expression was grim; the Ruan and Bai families were truly a source of trouble for him.
"Alright, keep searching. I must have complete control over the Bai Mountain Sect; the sect leader's token is essential."
Bai Wu nodded in agreement, fearful of his brother’s impending rage, and quickly left the room.
Not long after he departed, Bai Zhan received another phone call—a notice urging him to move out quickly.
With a dark expression, he had just hung up when another disciple of the Bai Mountain Sect rushed in, looking anxious.
"Leader, a group of people suddenly arrived at our temple and said that this mountain has been leased by someone else. They want us to move."
