In the Ninth Master's view, if the intruder at this moment truly was Han Lin, whom this waste, Fang Chun, failed to deceive, it would indicate that Han Lin had already seen through everything about Fang Chun, and there was no doubt that this woman must be a disciple of the Yunxian Sect.
If that were the case, it wouldn't be surprising that the Yunxian Sect had already noticed the disappearance of several outer disciples and sent someone to investigate Jiagu Guan City.
If that were true, then keeping this waste, Fang Chun, around as a precaution would be completely meaningless.
The Ninth Master could hardly suppress his urge to slap Fang Chun to death. If it weren't for these people concealing their identities as disciples of a major sect and sneaking into the Black Marsh Liuyun Mine, the Bai family wouldn't have attracted such hazards.
No wonder that female cultivator named Han Lin had to disguise herself as a male cultivator to enter the Black Marsh Liuyun Mine. It was no surprise that so many people nearly died, yet that female cultivator could miraculously survive. Now it seemed easy to explain.
The Yunxian Sect must have suspected the absence of several outer disciples was related to the Bai family, and the female cultivator sent to investigate was clearly not a simple character.
"Ninth Master, Ninth Master, please don't be angry. I believe the intruder is definitely not that female cultivator."
Fang Chun didn't want to die at all; even living a bit longer would be good. He subconsciously sought to justify himself: "That, that female cultivator only has the cultivation of early Foundation Establishment. She doesn't have the ability to sneak in here without detection and kill. Yes, that's right, it definitely wasn't her. The Ninth Master confirmed with me repeatedly before that no one followed us in, and there were no abnormalities detected."
It must be said that when his life was at stake, Fang Chun's mind was actually turning faster, quickly laying out all the unreasonable aspects.
The Ninth Master found Fang Chun's reasoning somewhat reasonable, but who could blame this waste for being useless and so unlucky? Just after a mishap, they encountered an unprecedented external invasion?
He felt that rage within him was difficult not to direct at this useless fellow!
"Lock him up first. Whether he should be sent down below depends on his luck!"
The Ninth Master kicked Fang Chun away in frustration and directly ordered people to imprison him, treating him the same as the previous offerings.
Upon hearing this, Fang Chun was so frightened that he fainted, which saved him quite a bit of trouble.
Immediately afterward, team after team of searchers continuously came to report to the Ninth Master, but the results were uniformly the same: no signs of any intruder had been found.
The Ninth Master was so furious that his face turned pale. He had thought the net was fully prepared, and once the enemy jumped in, they would be caught, yet he had nearly mobilized all available personnel, and in the end, they hadn't even touched a single hair of the enemy.
"Ha, truly skilled. Otherwise, how could they have the ability to intrude in here!"
He glared angrily at an unknown direction, his voice producing a strange, unpleasant mutter: "Don't let me find you; otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Ninth Master, the thief must still be hiding in some corner of the cave. They won't escape."
Bai Han, who had heard the news, quickly suggested: "Why not let me personally lead people to search?"
