Chapter 452 [451] The Reputation is Well-Deserved

Crimson Flame Lotus Island.

At this moment.

Cheng Han’s statement, “The treasure has a slight, extremely faint reaction,” instantly stirred up everyone's hearts.

Deputy Commander Xu Peng was both shocked and furious, and couldn't help but retort: “Commander Cheng, are you trying to accuse me of being a mole based on unverified empty words?”

The others also had different expressions.

Commander Jian Wanli glanced at Xu Peng, then at Cheng Han, and remained silent.

Although this Profound Overseer did not explicitly state his position, judging from his expression, he seemed more inclined to see corresponding evidence.

After all, it would be a major issue if a war zone's Deputy Commander turned out to be a mole.

Deputy Commander Lan Jiayao quickly glanced at Xu Peng, her entire being on high alert.

The female Profound Master had witnessed her superior’s various methods, so she was more willing to believe Cheng Han’s judgment.

Sima Nanshan, being new to the scene, wore a dumbfounded expression.

This Profound Warrior never expected that he would stumble upon such a fascinating drama before even understanding the basic situation of the war zone.

The title of “the most troublesome person in the history of Qinghan Profound Palace” is truly well-deserved!

Even in another world, he can still stir things up.

As for the rest of the war zone personnel, each of them had interesting expressions.

Cheng Han’s gaze turned to a distant shrimp pond, and he calmly said: “The treasure I obtained has a very strong reaction to extraordinary auras.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

A dark and obscure wave surged within him, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

The original Profound Ship docking platform disappeared, replaced by a giant, vibrant flower that supported everyone.

The group was immediately startled.

Jian Wanli, as a Profound Overseer-level powerhouse, was the first to realize that the giant flower beneath his feet possessed real attributes.

In other words, this was a real illusion.

“Snap!”

Cheng Han snapped his fingers again.

The massive Sky Leaf Lotus and the distant vast ocean all became blurred.

When they became clear again, this world had transformed into an ocean of flowers.

The air was filled with a thick floral fragrance.

This was the “Ocean of Flowers” illusion that he had once used on his female secretary, Xie You.

Jian Wanli looked around, his expression even more astonished.

Because this Profound Overseer truly sensed a trace of extremely faint divine power attributes.

The others were almost dumbfounded.

An illusion of such a massive scale was definitely not something an ordinary Profound Master could achieve.

Cheng Han stood still, his voice reaching everyone’s ears: “The treasure bestowed by the Divine City happens to be incredibly sensitive to floral fragrances.”

Jian Wanli suddenly remembered something and blurted out: “Could it be the Myriad Wonder Spirit Banyan Pistil?”

This exclamation undoubtedly served as an endorsement of Cheng Han’s words in the capacity of a Commander.

The others instantly understood that the “treasure” and “floral fragrance” were indeed real.

Cheng Han nodded: “Commander has good eyes!”

News of the treasure would spread sooner or later, which was unavoidable, so there was no need to hide it.

Jian Wanli immediately gasped, his eyes flashing with envy: “So that’s how it is!”

This demeanor made another group of people look sideways.

Not at the Commander.

But at Cheng Han.

Even if everyone didn’t understand what the Myriad Wonder Spirit Banyan Pistil was, they knew it was something that had shocked the Profound Overseer.

Xu Peng finally seized an opportunity to interject, adopting a tough stance: “Commander Cheng, forgive me for speaking frankly, but just because you have gained the Divine City’s favor doesn’t mean you can slander others indiscriminately.”

His words were very impolite.

Cheng Han was neither pleased nor angered: “Deputy Commander Xu, please be patient!”

Xu Peng wanted to retort harshly.

However, when his gaze met the other’s eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a green light, and his mind was severely shaken, leaving him unable to utter a single word.

This was precisely the divine power aura contained within the Myriad Wonder Spirit Banyan Sprout, a faint trace of which had been quietly released.

Although Xu Peng was a Deputy Commander, his strength was only that of a high-level Profound Master, so how could he withstand the deterrence of divine power?

Cheng Han began to speak eloquently: “The last time I was in the war zone, in order to research something important, I ordered the construction of three green rice shrimp farms.”

The so-called “important thing” was the miraculous substance that had alarmed a group of Divine Generals and Divine Sovereigns – high-efficiency active matter.

From that time on, shrimp farms were fully rolled out in the Eastern Li war zone.

Now, on the six Sky Leaf Lotuses, there are no fewer than three hundred large artificial breeding lakes, and hundreds of thousands of people rely on related industries for their livelihoods.

Cheng Han continued: “I remember one day, a raft boat that was salvaging seaweed balls around the lotus island had an accident.”

“A worker was accidentally caught in the salvage net, unfortunately entangled in the fishing net, and eventually dismembered into dozens of pieces.”

Jian Wanli’s expression was quite subtle.

In the Commander’s eyes, the death of a worker was just a trivial matter.

Because in the Eastern Li war zone, there was not a single day without deaths, and even tragedies with thousands of deaths had occurred more than once.

The Commander really didn’t expect that Commander Cheng would remember such a small matter.

Cheng Han’s tone became stern: “The salvage boat was a special vessel I personally designed, and there was no need for contact during normal deployment and retrieval of the salvage net.

“So I found this accident quite strange, so I specially took some time to examine the corpse.”

Having said that, he paused slightly.

“Whoosh!”

The fragrant wind blowing from the sea of flowers carried a hint of fishy smell.

The scene of the sea of flowers immediately became blurred.

“Splash!”

The sound of illusory waves surged.

The surrounding scenery rapidly changed.

The sky was pouring rain, and a wet raft boat was docked on the coast of a lotus island, constantly swaying with the waves.

This scene.

Was simply realistic to the extreme.

Newcomers like Sima Nanshan instantly gained a fairly intuitive understanding of the harsh environment of the Youmiao Realm.

Even the Commander found it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, let alone others.

And this practice of “showing the corresponding scene when talking about something” was truly impressive.

Cheng Han’s voice clearly penetrated the rain: “At that time, I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the corpse, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

“Splash ~”

An exceptionally large wave surged.

The not-so-large raft boat shook violently.

The figures of the crew appeared on the boat, their faces filled with panic.

“Someone’s dead!”

“Someone was crushed to death by the salvage net!”

A large mass of fishing net hanging on the bow of the boat could be seen containing a large mass of blurred flesh and blood.

Heavy rain poured down, and large amounts of blood flowed onto the deck.

This scene was both terrifying and disgusting.

Cheng Han suddenly sighed: “Today, I met Xu Peng again and used the treasure’s powerful ability to sense auras.

“I then discovered that a trace of Deputy Commander Xu’s aura seemed to have a slight similarity to the aura of this deceased worker.”

Xu Peng instinctively roared: “You’re talking nonsense! I’ve never seen this worker.”

The others did not speak.

Neither did the Commander.

Judging from the expressions of the crowd, this performance of “words followed by images” seemed to make them more inclined to believe this statement.

After all, Commander Cheng had shown evidence, even if they couldn’t sense the so-called aura, it was at least something.

And Xu Peng was just making empty statements, which lacked persuasiveness.

Cheng Han did not care about Xu Peng’s anger and said to himself: “Now that I think about it, the reason why I felt something was wrong with the corpse at the time was probably because my soul foreshadowed a trace of warning, that the mastermind was trying to deal with me.”

Xu Peng sternly rebuked: “Completely absurd conjecture, what kind of evidence is this?”

Cheng Han “hmph-ed” and said: “Deputy Commander Xu, I haven’t finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry to draw conclusions?”

He immediately said: “I said just now that I am extremely sensitive to extraordinary auras. In Deputy Commander Xu’s residence, there should be a pot of ‘Seven-Star Drunken Butterfly Flower’ brought from the Void Wind Realm, right?”

Xu Peng was stunned for a moment and did not answer.

Lan Jiayao decisively chimed in: “Commander Cheng, I visited Deputy Commander Xu last month and did see a pot of Seven-Star Drunken Butterfly Flower.”

The female Profound Master was not afraid of offending the Deputy Commander at all, especially since she had already decided to closely follow her superior, so of course she wouldn’t keep silent even if she knew.

Cheng Han then explained the reason: “The magical power of the Myriad Wonder Spirit Banyan Pistil reminded me that this trace of aura once appeared on the worker’s corpse.”

This was actually a kind of “shoot the arrow first, then draw the target” tactic.

Since Youming discovered that Xu Peng had problems, he looked for problems in every detail, and he could always find something wrong.

Xu Peng retorted without hesitation: “A trace of aura left months ago, you are just a mere Profound Warrior, how could you possibly sense it…”

Before he could finish speaking.

He was interrupted by a cough.

“Cough!”

This was the Commander’s cough.

Everyone’s eyes immediately locked onto this Profound Overseer powerhouse.

Jian Wanli did not keep them in suspense and directly expressed his opinion: “As far as I know, the Myriad Wonder Spirit Banyan Pistil is known as the ‘Lord of Myriad Flowers’.

“This is a treasure born from the core of the Divine Banyan. If one completely masters the power of the Myriad Wonder Spirit Banyan Pistil, one can even sense a trace of aura left two years ago.”

The phrase “born from the core of the Divine Banyan” made everyone look surprised.

And the statement of “sensing the aura from a few years ago” also made a group of people feel incredible, and their gazes towards Cheng Han also changed.

The attitude shown by the Commander through this sentence was undoubtedly a clear support for Cheng Han.

Xu Peng’s face turned a little pale, refusing to admit this fact: “That’s impossible!”

This guy gritted his teeth and publicly made a poisonous oath: “I swear in the name of the Divine Banyan that I have never met the murdered worker, nor have I ever harmed this person. If there is a single word of falsehood, I am willing to accept any punishment!”

Cheng Han chuckled: “Deputy Commander Xu, why do you have to put it so seriously?”

He suddenly changed the subject: “I just said that the mastermind is likely to have a certain connection with you, not that you are the mole in this war zone.”

Xu Peng was dumbfounded.

The others were also all at a loss.

This series of evidence clearly showed that Deputy Commander Xu had a considerable amount of suspicion, so why did Commander Cheng say that there was no problem with him?

What exactly is Commander Cheng doing?

Is he making everyone guess riddles?
