The moment those words fell, the Council Hall went silent.
The Immortal Emperors' expressions shifted in different ways.
Some instinctively glanced at the people beside them.
Su Ming sat in his chair without speaking immediately.
His gaze swept over everyone again, finally settling on the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor.
The Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor kept his eyes lowered, his fingers instinctively tightening around his sleeve.
That tiny movement was enough to tell Su Ming what he needed to know.
He did not expose him on the spot.
There was insufficient evidence. Acting rashly would only stir the grass and startle the snake, and could easily cause panic within the Alliance.
A fish had to be reeled in slowly.
Su Ming raised his eyes to Feng Xuanzi, his voice calm.
"I'll investigate the mole."
"Until we get to the bottom of this, the defensive formations at our base need upgrading."
Immortal Emperor Qingyan immediately spoke up.
"Hall Master Su, you understand the Array Dao too?"
"A little," Su Ming said lightly.
"I examined the outer formations. They have quite a few flaws. If the abnormals really attacked, they wouldn't hold out for long."
A flicker of indignation crossed Immortal Emperor Qingyan's face, but remembering who Su Ming was, he forcibly swallowed his words.
Feng Xuanzi's eyes, however, lit up.
"Wonderful! Young friend Su, if you're willing to help, it would truly be a blessing for the Alliance!"
"We'll leave all the formation work to you. Just say the word if you need manpower or materials!"
Su Ming nodded slightly. "We'll begin tomorrow."
As he spoke, his gaze brushed almost imperceptibly over the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor.
The Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor still kept his eyes lowered. No one saw the flicker of panic deep within them.
The discussion continued with updates
