Chapter 425 Identifying the Traitors

Although Zhaoming knew that Wokan and others were not the culprits who destroyed this place, he still did not look happy. The army entered without permission, which was a provocation to a country. Zhaoming also realized the threat of Wokan and others being able to teleport troops on a large scale!

"I don't care what your intentions are! You must leave Zhendan! Otherwise, I will attack you! This is my last mercy!"

The arrogant Longzi's words always make people unhappy.

Outside the city, troops from all over the Weixile Province had slowly begun to gather.

These troops are Zhaoming's confidence.

Vorkan put away the Hammer of Dawn and said to Zhaoming, "We will withdraw our troops, but I hope you know that our enemies are the same, they are all Chaos, and the plans of those evil god's followers are definitely more than what they have now. This is just the prelude to their actions! You must find a way to stop them!
You shouldn't be wasting that warpstone!"

"It's not your turn to teach me yet!" Zhaoming, who turned to look at the ruins, also felt troubled. The dragon sons had indeed transcended the mundane world, but that was only on an individual basis. The army under his command and the construction of his city all depended on money.

The economy of Weixi Province is much worse than that of other provinces. Although Zhaoming believes that dimensional stone is a tool that can be used, it does not mean that dimensional stone has no harm. At least there are many more cultists and even corrupted chaotic creatures nearby.

The loss of Shangwu, an important economic city in Weixi Province, was also a huge blow to Zhaoming.

Zhaoming searched for survivors to understand the specific losses. If the loss of the city could be compensated by construction, then the loss of talent was a heavy blow to Zhaoming.

Shangwu City, an important transit station for foreign trade, has gathered a large number of business talents, including quite a few heads of business families or chambers of commerce. Although businessmen are humble, they are indeed indispensable.

"Notify the alchemists under my jurisdiction! Have them all come here to see me! Anyone who refuses will be considered a traitor!"

Zhaoming believed that it was impossible for all alchemists to be believers of Chaos, but he had to spend a lot of energy to distinguish between the traitors and the loyalists among them.

"Zhao Ming, my name is Vulkan Vulkan, maybe I can help you."

Most of Terra's troops withdrew, but in fact a considerable number of them had left Shangwu before the arrival of the Zhendan army. Instead, they entered the vast dimensional stone desert to look for traces of chaos.

Zhao Ming looked at the Primarch who came before him, and couldn't figure out where he came from.

The opponent's size and strength were completely beyond the level of humans. He felt that the opponent did not try to kill him in the previous battle. If it really was a life-and-death fight, he might not be the opponent.

Faced with a strong man who also seemed to have good intentions, Zhaoming also forced himself to be patient and listen to what the other party wanted to do.

Wokan introduced where he came from and told Zhaoming that he had a way to identify the cultists among the alchemists.

When Wokan handed the divine seal carrying Zhang Heng's divinity to Zhaoming, Zhaoming was half-believing it.

The part of Zhang Heng that is a god becomes more and more powerful, and the divine symbol, a derivative of his power, also becomes more and more powerful.

The dragon sons who have fought against Chaos for countless years are quite familiar with the power of Chaos, and can also feel the restraint and perception of the power of Chaos by the Divine Symbol.

"Westerners, your purpose!"

"Purpose? No, we are also comrades in the fight against Chaos. We have won in the west, and those evil gods have no way to attack us. Now they have only one choice, which is to place their power and goal here, that is, Zhendan. We hope to meet the Dragon Emperor! You can take this divine rune, and you will believe what we say after you try it."

Zhaoming took the divine seal from Wokan's hand.

In the next few days, more and more Zhendan people rushed here. They cleaned up the ruins to find valuable things and look for survivors. The alchemists in Weixi Province did not receive orders and gathered here in large numbers.

Looking at the alchemy masters whom he protected, Zhaoming was furious.

The alchemists also stood in front of Zhaoming in silence.

"I provided you with shelter and gave you power, but some of you betrayed me. I know that those betrayers are still among you. If you take the initiative to stand up, you can still get a decent death. But if I find them, that person and his family will be completely wiped out from Zhendan."

None of the alchemy masters in front of him spoke, and no one acknowledged it.

Seeing that everyone had no reaction, Zhaoming also took out the divine talisman.

Zhaoming held it and walked past the crowd one by one. When it came to the tenth person, the divine seal reacted.

"Xiao Yi, why did you betray me!"

Hearing Zhaoming's words, the alchemist's face changed drastically, and he actually used the alchemy technique to attack Zhaoming! This unexpected change surprised all the remaining alchemists.

But how could this magic hurt Zhaoming? When he saw the other party take action, Zhaoming knew that the divine seal was really useful. His words just now were just a test, but the other party lost his patience.

Zhao Ming, who had dispersed the opponent's spell, aimed directly at the opponent's limbs at an extremely fast speed, and the surrounding Yu Yong also surrounded him, with cannons, swords, spears, and bows and crossbows aimed at all the alchemists. Anyone who dared to move would be shot into a sieve.

After checking together, it was found that traitors accounted for one-tenth of the total. This made Zhaoming himself begin to doubt whether it was worthwhile to shelter these alchemy masters!

Tzeentch's infiltration into China is greater than imagined.

The actual disaster caused by the dimensional stone also made Zhaoming begin to consider whether he should continue to use this chaos mineral on a large scale.

If they continue to be used, no one knows what kind of disaster the followers of Tzeentch will cause next time by exploiting the loopholes in these things.

But abandoning these things would be a huge loss for the Zhendan army. These things are so widely used in Zhendan that it would not be easy to find a substitute for these things that have been used for hundreds or thousands of years.

But when Zhaoming was worried, a general came to him and said.

"Great Longzi, the eldest son of the He family wants to see you!"

"The He family?" Zhaoming's powerful memory reminded him of the information about this family. The He family Chamber of Commerce was the chamber of commerce under his control that made profits for him. He originally thought that all the members of the He family died in this disaster, but he didn't expect that there were still people alive.

The visitor was none other than He Zhen, who had returned to Zhendan from the empire. He was originally very excited about returning to Zhendan, but who would have thought that what he would see upon returning to Shangwu was indeed a whole area of ​​ruins.

The steward of his He family and a large number of He family members died in the disaster, and even the patriarch, his father, was in this city.

When he came back from his trip out, he had become the highest-ranking and most powerful person in the entire He family.

He nervously asked Zhaoming for a meeting, but he didn't expect that Longzi actually agreed.
