Chapter 349: [348] Unprecedented Treatment, Finding the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

At this moment,

Facing the recruitment of the Divine General Zhu Rong,

Cheng Han hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I have to consult... um, consult under the command of the Divine General Lan Yun."

For the so-called "guaranteed promotion to Xuan Inspector," others would definitely be extremely tempted, but for him, his future promotion to Xuan Inspector was already a certainty and he didn't care about it at all.

On the other hand,

Having mixed within the official organization for so long, Cheng Han had long realized one thing - extraordinary strong individuals are willing to reason, they must have concerns.

When Divine General Zhu Rong first requested a name change and then promptly gave up because of Divine General Lan Yun, it indicated that among the group of Divine Generals, Divine General Lan Yun was considered relatively strong.

So he decisively brought out the banner of Divine General Lan Yun.

Sure enough,

Divine General Zhu Rong fell into deep hesitation, seemingly calculating the conflict with Divine General Lan Yun, how likely he was to win, and what the gains and costs would be.

After several seconds,

This Divine General finally showed a hint of fear, "Forget it, Lan Yun is too petty, if you don't want to change your name, then don't."

After saying that, the flames above this person's head suddenly diminished.

Cheng Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that "too petty" was most likely just an excuse, the main reason was that Divine General Lan Yun was extremely powerful, and Divine General Zhu Rong felt it was not worth provoking the other party.

His evaluation of Divine General Lan Yun in his heart was raised even higher.

It seems that this is a very formidable ally!

Divine General Zhu Rong finally got to the point, "High-efficiency fuel is something that can change the battlefield situation. Later, I will personally open a 'Tianrong Light Shuttle' for you and send you back to the Qinghan Xuan Palace."

The Divine General's chief sword, Wanli, immediately revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The energy consumed by the Tianrong Light Shuttle is extremely huge, often requiring a large amount of resources to be gathered before it can be temporarily opened.

And to personally open a Tianrong Light Shuttle for someone, this is definitely an unimaginable special treatment.

Cheng Han remembered something and hurriedly said, "Commander, what should we do about the command of the Warhawk Legion?"

He believed that no one would be stronger than him in terms of the specific use of the Warhawk Legion, so he naturally didn't want to give up the command.

Divine General Zhu Rong decided to be a good person to the end, "Leave it to someone else to command, it might end up in a complete disaster. I will grant you a 'Rongjie Communication Token', you can use it to communicate across borders with the war zone."

Cheng Han sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, under the command of the Divine General!"

Jian Wanli was even more astonished.

Among the many Xuan Inspectors stationed in the major war zones, only a few Xuan Inspectors with special missions have the qualification to possess the Rongjie Communication Token.

A mere initial stage Xuan Shi actually obtained such an honor, this is truly an unprecedented treatment.

Soon,

The communication was interrupted.

Cheng Han keenly noticed a small detail - from beginning to end, Divine General Zhu Rong did not say a word about the "mole."

This is truly a profound matter.

From the beginning, he speculated that it was not just the Dongli war zone that had a problem, but it was highly probable that every war zone in this realm had been infiltrated by Lady Snake.

So.

Did the divine generals of the Wan Hao clan not realize this?

Of course they did not!

If that's the case, why didn't they take measures to stop it?

Cheng Han couldn't help but think of the first battle that occurred in this world, when he sent a group of sea eagles to "fish" for giant sea monsters.

There seems to be a similarity between the two.

The divine generals, who are high above, are probably playing a big game.

From the divine generals down, including Xuan Du, everyone is a chess piece on the chessboard.

Taking it a step further.

Did General Zhu Rong have the intention of temporarily removing a "high-value chess piece from the chessboard" by willingly sending himself back to the Xuan Palace?

Cheng Han muttered to himself in his heart, "The front line is currently in a stalemate. Perhaps in a while, a real big battle is about to come."

*

Two hours later.

A mighty wave suddenly swept through the entire Dongli war zone.

A green pillar of light descended from the sky, piercing through the Dongling Fortress.

Inside a stone palace.

The green light instantly obscured everything.

In the blink of an eye.

The green light disappeared completely.

The people and supplies in the palace were all gone without a trace.

Wan Li, the main sword, stood silently at the entrance of the stone palace and sighed softly, "Too fast!"

In the past, when applying to transport supplies to the divine generals, it would often take three or four days, and it was not uncommon to wait for ten days or half a month.

But this time, it only took two hours for the Tianrong Light Shuttle to open.

This is not just fast.

It's ridiculously fast!

*

Cloud Eagle Lotus Island.

Just two hours ago, the name of this lotus island was still "Tai Rui Lotus Island," but due to the eccentricity of a certain divine general, it now has this new name.

In a small alley in the Ningping Fortress.

A thin black-clad figure sensed the majestic wave sweeping through and sighed with a hint of regret, "I must have made a wrong judgment. The oil factory was not meant to solve the food problem."

He murmured in a low voice, "The Central Courtyard of the war zone directly used the Xuan Boat and suddenly transported a large batch of equipment from the Lingxiang Demon Factory to the Eastling Fortress.

"Just a short while ago, Wan Hao used the power of the Divine Banyan to urgently perform a cross-border teleportation.

"That guy surnamed Cheng probably discovered something extraordinary, which is why the Central Courtyard of the war zone is acting so cautiously.

"And this thing could potentially have a huge impact on the outcome of the war."

The man in black felt even more regretful, "I should have strongly suggested to my superiors to eliminate that guy surnamed Cheng at all costs."

He walked out of the alley and deliberately went to a crowded area, muttering to himself, "Damn Wan Hao!"

"Bang!"

There was a loud explosion.

The man in black's body exploded.

A large cloud of black mist quickly dispersed, condensing into long snake-like shadows that instantly burrowed into the bodies of the surrounding civilians.

The next moment.

A terrible thing happened.

The skin of the civilians rapidly decayed, pus mixed with flesh fragments flowing down, completely distorting their human forms in the blink of an eye.

"Hiss~"

These civilians, who had turned into monsters, made strange hissing sounds from their mouths as they ran wildly towards various streets.

They, or rather, it, emitted a foul black gas wherever they went.

Any civilians who smelled the black gas immediately began to vomit and have diarrhea, with foul-smelling ulcers appearing on their bodies.

All of this undoubtedly constituted an epidemic.

Soon.

The Xuan Masters stationed at the fortress were alarmed by the epidemic.

And for such situations.

The authorities had long prepared contingency plans.

Teams of soldiers quickly sealed off the affected area, and several Xuan Boats flew over, activating Xuan Formations to cleanse the epidemic. The situation quickly stabilized.

A group of Xuan Masters skilled in dealing with epidemics examined the patients and produced potions on-site using life-based Xuan magic, which were then distributed by the soldiers.

Before long.

A small crisis was completely eliminated.

*

Two hours later.

A flower lynx quietly sneaked into the accident site.

It swiftly and agilely ran through several streets, occasionally stopping to sniff the surrounding air. Faint blue light flickered in its pupils.

It was a Shadow Lynx.

Cheng Han specifically chose animals as Shadows in the Shadow Abyss, instead of using human Shadows.

One minute later.

The Shadow Lynx finished its inspection.

It hid in a corner and locked onto the imprint in the Sea of Spirit, quietly activating that imprint.

This was the "Inference Imprint" derived from the All-Knowing Eye.

It was also the ability of an 8th-level All-Knowing Eye.

Although Cheng Han had already left this world, he left some power to the Shadow Lynx, allowing it to carry out the task of searching for the mastermind behind the scenes.

In a short while.

A halo of light unfolded.

Silver threads twisted and moved, numbering over a thousand, forming a complex pattern.

Each silver thread represented a connection.

The source of all the silver threads came from eight nodes.

These were all the suspicious individuals discovered so far, including Mackwen from the Lingxiang Demon Factory, Qu Yuan who was strangled by the salvage net, and the person who detonated and released the epidemic.

Every time the mastermind behind the scenes caused trouble using puppets, thinking they were being very secretive, they were actually leaving behind a big handle for Cheng Han.

And the direction indicated by all the silver threads was a cluster of nodes.

This meant that the general target had been identified.

The reason why it was said to be a "general" target was because the mastermind behind the scenes had a power of concealment that the All-Knowing Eye couldn't deduce.

But the people around this person didn't have the power to shield themselves from extraordinary abilities.

And all the connections happened to point to this group of people.

The answer was about to be revealed.

*

The Void Wind Realm.

Qinghan Xuan Palace.

Although separated by a world, thanks to the existence of the Banyan Realm Gate, the two realms were considered connected. Cheng Han still sensed a bit of information.

Or rather.

The All-Knowing Eye sensed that one of the Inference Imprints had been consumed.

For a divine technique, this kind of sensing was considered basic operation. It would be strange if there was no sensing.

Cheng Han made a slight deduction in his mind and muttered, "As I expected, this guy is hiding very deep."

He personally believed that the mastermind behind the scenes had made a fatal mistake, which was—to vent their emotions, they did a lot of unnecessary things.

This was a big taboo!

If the other party hadn't killed the salvage worker or created the epidemic, they wouldn't have been exposed so quickly.

A smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Han's mouth, "When it comes to playing tricks and conspiracies, I am the master. To dare to jump around in front of the master, they really don't know their place!"
