Chapter 368: The Fundamental Test of Human Hearts

Two days later.

The journey to the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm was already more than halfway there.

Around ten o'clock in the morning.

The fleet of airships arrived at the Tangtu Station, which was the airship station for the "Tangtu Small Spirit Realm". Two guards carried a passenger and hurriedly disembarked from the airship.

Cheng Han blended into the crowd, listening to various discussions.

"The old man suddenly shouted and screamed in the middle of the night before yesterday. He ran out of the single room naked, saying that there was something strange in the room. The guards checked several times but found nothing. It really gave all the passengers a hard time."

"What kind of strange thing? I heard that as long as the old man closes his eyes, he can see the steward who was killed by the evil wind the day before yesterday."

"This old man hasn't dared to sleep for two days and nights. His eyes are so red that they're about to bleed. Just now, his eyes started bleeding and he can't see anything at all."

"This old man deserves it! He actually secretly sold the news of a beautiful widow for a discount, causing her to be harassed several times."

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth curled slightly.

The "old man" that everyone was discussing was none other than the old merchant, Zuo Daqian.

The "nightmare" that plagued this old man was naturally caused by him secretly playing tricks.

The method was very simple, just planting a mental suggestion was enough.

This punishment was not too severe. Zuo Daqian would probably not be able to see anything for a month, and then gradually regain his vision.

With Cheng Han's powerful strength, even if a powerful Xuan Supervisor personally took action, it would be difficult to detect.

After the commotion.

The airship replenished some supplies, accepted some new passengers, and set sail again.

Cheng Han set up an easel in the observation hall and started painting a new landscape.

Now, his "persona" on the airship was that of a mechanical designer and painter, so he confidently displayed his painting skills.

The twin daughters of the beautiful widow, Yingying and Lulu, stood by and quietly watched him paint.

For this strange combination, the old passengers were already used to it, and the new passengers couldn't help but take a few more glances.

While Cheng Han was painting, he glanced at the three strings of the spiritual map with the corner of his eye.

One of the strings was connected to Arthur, the Speaker of the Destruction Mission.

The other two strings belonged to his subordinates.

In the past few days, a ghost had been tracking this powerful Xuan Master. As for the remaining followers, Cheng Han let them go.

Arthur also noticed that he was being followed and used all his tricks to try to get rid of the ghost.

Unfortunately, the effect of the Secret Realm Spiritual Map was so powerful that it could monitor from thousands of kilometers away. How could a mere Xuan Master escape?

"Buzz~"

The string trembled.

The sound of conversation followed.

"Sir, we received news through a secret channel that the Warhawk Group of the Qinghan Xuan Palace has arrived at the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm. The target is someone impersonating them."

This was a report from a subordinate.

The person paused and his voice became a bit low, "Now it seems that the Xuan Palace has deceived all of us. We have fallen into a big trap!"

Arthur nodded slightly, "Indeed."

Another subordinate couldn't help but speculate, "I suspect that there may be a mole within us, or maybe there is a mole on the side of the Prayer Society. Otherwise, how could the mysterious person find such a hidden place?"

When Cheng Han heard this, a hint of a smile flashed in his seemingly focused eyes.

Mysterious person?

What a nostalgic title!

Back when he was studying in the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm, he caused quite a stir with the help of a flock of birds, and thus became the "mysterious person" in the eyes of the authorities.

The conversation continued.

Arthur sighed, "The mysterious person has used a series of divisive tactics. Discussing the issue of a mole now is actually not very meaningful."

This sentence had an implicit meaning - our current situation is very difficult, both the Prayer Society and the Destruction Mission are suspecting us. The most urgent task is to solve this problem.

At this moment.

Cheng Han suddenly noticed that the string connecting Arthur's spiritual map was constantly flashing dim fluctuations, as if communicating with a certain existence.

If it were an ordinary Xuan Master, they might not be able to sense it.

But all of this is completely exposed in the Secret Realm Spirit Map.

Cheng Han's gaze flickered, muttering in his heart, "He actually noticed, he can really keep his composure!"

He had a thought in his mind.

A halo appeared.

The scene thousands of kilometers away appeared in the center of the halo.

This is a rarely visited dense forest.

The lush vegetation makes it very easy for a few people to hide in the forest.

This is obviously to deal with the high-altitude reconnaissance of the Warhawk.

In the past few days, Xuan Palace has allocated a batch of Warhawks to its subordinate small spirit realms, and the Black Armor Army has started using Warhawks for daily patrols.

At this moment.

In the picture.

Arthur, the chairman, wearing a black robe, stared at a tall subordinate with vigilance, "I admire your methods!"

The tall subordinate who was respectful just now suddenly smiled, "Chairman, when did you notice something was wrong?"

This person has long been controlled by the Netherworld in secret, like a puppet.

Another middle-aged subordinate finally reacted and quickly hid behind a big tree, looking nervous.

Arthur didn't hide it either, "I have practiced a spiritual secret technique that allows me to discern extremely subtle mental changes."

The tall subordinate nodded, "I underestimated you."

He then smiled, "You only just exposed my identity now, it seems that the reinforcements of the Destruction Legion have arrived, it should be a divine envoy, right?"

The ranks within the Destruction Legion are, from low to high, Apostle, Councilor, Chairman, Divine Envoy.

The strength of a divine envoy is roughly equivalent to a Profound Supervisor.

Arthur snorted, his tone containing a hint of pride, "I have secretly informed the Macallen Divine Envoy, you can't escape this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

An old man wearing a gray robe slowly walked out of the dense forest.

There is no doubt.

This person should be the so-called "Macallen Divine Envoy."

Arthur immediately respectfully saluted, "Greetings, Divine Envoy!"

The Macallen Divine Envoy made a nonchalant "hmm" sound, looking cold.

This scene.

Made Cheng Han secretly laugh.

Although Arthur secretly contacted the divine envoy in order to prove his innocence, this small detail is enough to show that this move is not very useful.

This divine envoy still has a strong dissatisfaction with Arthur.

Cheng Han muttered in his heart, "Even if the divine envoy knows that Arthur may have been calculated and ended up in this situation.

"But after our side suffered a major failure, he needs to give an explanation to the higher-ups and also to the ally, the Prayer Society.

"This attitude will naturally cause Arthur to have doubts about the Destruction Legion, and this doubt will in turn intensify internal suspicions.

"This is a vicious cycle, and Arthur will definitely be forced into a desperate situation."

Cheng Han sighed, "All schemes of division test the human heart, but the human heart simply cannot withstand the test."

With his spiritual hand, he gently touched the lines of the spirit map, muttering to himself, "Then I might as well add fuel to the fire."

"Buzz!"

The sound of a vibrating string resounded again.

In the picture.

The tall subordinate bowed to the divine envoy and smiled, "The whereabouts of the Divine Envoy have always been elusive, making it difficult for people to grasp. Today, I finally have the honor to meet you, Divine Envoy."

This sentence implies another meaning - thanks to Arthur's help, the Divine Envoy is willing to show up.

Arthur's heart sank, suddenly regretting using secret methods to contact the higher-ups.

If the Macallen Divine Envoy thinks that he is really cooperating with the mysterious person to fish, then his fate will be very miserable.

He truly realized that the mysterious person's calculation of the human heart is too powerful, and if he continues like this, he will eventually be played to death by the other party.

At this moment.

Arthur sincerely believed that it was not a wise choice to continue staying in the Destruction Legion under the current circumstances.
