Upon hearing Cheng Han say, "That doesn't mean you're the Mole," and so on.
Female Mystic Master Lan Jiayao felt as if enlightenment had struck her. She blurted out, "Deputy General Commander Xu's family may be involved!"
A trace of fragrance from the Seven Stars Drunken Butterfly Flower was the crucial clue. Xu Peng himself was not the only one who could have come into contact with the flower; so could the family members living with him.
The others quickly voiced their agreement.
"That makes sense!"
"There must be a problem in Deputy General Commander Xu's household!"
Sword Wanli also breathed a sigh of relief and decisively gave an order. "Immediately seal off Deputy General Commander Xu's residence. No one is to enter or leave!"
As the general commander overseeing the war zone, he truly did not wish to see his deputy become a Mole, because that would mean he himself would be implicated as well.
A Mystic Adept immediately responded, "Yes!"
Xu Peng remained silent.
But from his expression, he had clearly relaxed considerably.
Cheng Han spoke up. "Time is of the essence! Why don't we go over and take a look right now?"
It was time to settle the score for all the past incidents: the carrier fleet that had nearly been wiped out, the innocent civilians who had died, and the plague that had erupted within the war fortress! General Commander Sword Wanli was a decisive sort. He immediately waved a hand. "Let's go!"
Not long afterward.
Dozens of Mystic Boats surged into an enormous passageway and entered a towering war fortress.
It was the Eastern Mausoleum War Fortress.
This was the location of the Central Courtyard of the war zone, as well as the concentrated residential area for the families of Mystic Adepts and Mystic Masters.
