Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

However, given the current state of war and chaos, I cannot tell Lingxue that I like her.

I don't even know when I'll die.

If I had responded to Lingxue's feelings.

If I die then, how heartbroken Lingxue will be.

So let's wait and see.

"Once this chaotic era ends and everything stabilizes, I will reciprocate her feelings."

Su Li was responding to "her" feelings.

In truth, Zhuang Mou had no idea that Su Li was trying to reciprocate "their" feelings...

I will not respond to Lingxue's feelings or Molan and Moyue's feelings right now.

I'll wait a bit.

Let's talk about it after this big battle.

Otherwise, if they died, wouldn't they become widows?

"General, I understand." Zhuang Mou nodded. "I will prove myself and will not be inferior to Senior Zhao!"

After saying that, Zhuang Mou didn't say anything more, turned around and left, while Su Li was stunned on the spot.

no......

What do you know...?

Why do I feel like you've suddenly started competing with Lingxue...?

I just don't understand what young people are thinking these days...

......

The next morning, Su Li went to the city wall and asked them about their final decision.

Those who want to stay can stay, and those who want to leave Wan Jianjun can simply leave; there's no need to say anything at all.

The last hour for Su Li and the others to choose a time.

If no one leaves after an hour, then it will be assumed that Wan Jianjun has stayed.

At first, no one left.

But after an incense stick had burned, a man stepped forward, bowed to Su Li who was standing on the high city wall, then unfastened his sword, kowtowed deeply to Su Li again, and turned to leave.

After this person came out, others followed, unfastened their swords, bowed deeply to Su Li, and then turned and left.

As time goes by, one person after another leaves.

With only one incense stick's worth of time remaining in the hour, six hundred sword cultivators from the Ten Thousand Swords Army had already departed.

Su Li was still waiting.

But as the time drew closer, no one came out anymore.

"Is nobody here?"

Looking at the nine thousand four hundred sword cultivators standing there, Su Li asked.

"This is your last chance. If you don't leave this time, you won't be able to leave later, and you'll be treated as deserters."

Su Li's words spread with the spiritual energy, but still no one stepped forward.

As the time drew ever closer, their eyes grew even more determined.

This look comes from careful consideration and a firm conviction in one's own heart.

Only with such eyes can one survive on the battlefield later!

"Dong...dong...dong..."

An hour passed, and a bell rang out, signifying that an hour had elapsed.

Not a single person stepped forward to leave Wan Jianjun.

This means that all of these people stayed willingly.

Looking at the people below the city, Su Li's eyes flickered. In Su Li's heart, he hoped that more of them could leave, but in the end, there were still 9,600 of them.

"Try to survive!" Su Li sighed heavily, unsure of what to say.

Su Li's greatest hope for them was that they could survive.

The next day, Xiong Da led two thousand cultivators, whose cultivation level was at least at the Guanhai Realm, to Valley God City.

"Su Li! I didn't expect you to show up!"

Upon seeing Su Li, Xiong Da immediately walked up to her and gave her a bear hug.

"Xiong Da, what brings you here?" Su Li was also very surprised to see Xiong Da.

"Hahaha, I'm guarding the three cities of Pingyang. I was prepared to face the clamor head-on."

I was so nervous, I felt like I was going to die.

Did not expect ah.

I feel at ease as long as you're here.

"I've brought you two thousand cultivators first, and then there are all the strategists from Valley God City; I've brought them all."

As he spoke, Xiong Da lowered his voice.

"Old Su, let me tell you, there's a traitor inside."

"I know, I will find it."

Su Li nodded.

"Make them all come to see me, one by one!"

Chapter 784 The Traitor (4000 words)

When a traitor emerged from the think tank of Gushen City, Su Li was still allowed to leave—something he had never expected.

Su Li couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

There were traitors on our own side, and we even know that some of them are among the traitors.

Who is so genius as to split the think tank in two, sending one half away and leaving the other half behind?

Su Li felt that anyone who made such a decision was a traitor... the kind who would be directly led to the executioner's block!

Later, after Su Li inquired, he learned that this decision was made after careful consideration, specifically after a traitor appeared in Gu Shen City.

The deceased Great Pillar, Zhao Lingxue, and the Peak Master of Huafeng in the Qianling Holy Land devised a plan, eliminating many people with innocent identities.

The think tank members appeared to be randomly divided into two groups: one group followed the people of Ceres City to the next city, while the other group stayed behind to defend Ceres City together.

But in reality, it wasn't random. Instead, those innocent people hurried to the next city to continue resisting the demon army and prepare for the next front.

It doesn't matter if there are traitors among those who remain, because Valley God City was already on the verge of collapse.

So when Zhao Lingxue heard that Su Li wanted to interrogate the strategists who had come from Pingyang City, Zhao Lingxue suggested that they should just interrogate those who had stayed in Gushen City.

This can also save a lot of time.

However, Su Li insisted on interrogating all the cultivators in the think tank!

Time? What is that?

joke.

Just by looking at their script, you can immediately tell whether they are traitors or not.

It's impossible for me to ignore everyone.

Otherwise, what if something really happens?

In such a great battle, any carelessness in any detail can change the course of the entire war, not to mention the possibility of a traitor on one's own side.

Moreover, I despise this kind of traitor the most!

Apart from the think tank, every officer, even a centurion, must be randomly selected for interrogation!

Su Li also wanted to interrogate all the centurions, but the problem was that there were just too many people, and there really wasn't enough time.

The interrogation lasted for three days and three nights.

This interrogation brought Su Li many surprises.

There were indeed traitors among the strategists in Ceres City, and not just one! Three out of ten!

Among the ten people that Lingxue thought she had thoroughly investigated, there was still one traitor!

This traitor is well hidden, and the Demon Kingdom wants to use him to launch a major attack!

Therefore, this traitor will strike at a crucial moment, and when he does, it will be fatal.

Now that Su Li knows, it's unclear whose life will be taken.

In addition, among the remaining five generals of Ceres, there is also a traitor.

Su Li was completely numb.

Damn it!

How exactly did the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons manage to do that?

How could there be so many traitors in Qianlingzhou?

Su Li felt like her side had been seeped through like a sieve.

As the battle raged on, I discovered that everyone around me was a traitor. My mentality completely collapsed.

How can we fight like this?

Finally, after Su Li's statistics, it was discovered that the vast majority of them were foreshadowings planted by the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom a very, very long time ago.

These people were all pawns sponsored by the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom a long time ago, just waiting for the Myriad Laws of the World to take them in.

Fortunately, most of the pieces were rendered useless, either because they were not used effectively or because they were discovered to be traitors and were subsequently eliminated.

Moreover, many of these traitors were incompetent teammates who betrayed their comrades because they couldn't bear the torture.

Now, those chess pieces are scattered here and there, not many in number.

However, Valley God City is the most crucial city, and coincidentally, many of the strategists transferred from Valley God City are pawns of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

All I can say is that Ceres has had some bad luck.

On the bright side, as long as Gushen City is special and Qianling Holy Land hasn't been completely eroded, that's fine.

Otherwise, I'd be swamped with work, constantly trying to catch the werewolves.

Xia Liuliu was not a useless person. He naturally knew that there might be traitors among the army and even among the officials in the court. Su Li believed that Xia Liuliu would handle these matters well.

Perhaps Xia Liuliu has already begun to take action.

Furthermore, Su Li was absolutely certain that Xia Liuliu must have also considered placing pawns and turning certain people against the Demon Kingdom.

It's just that Su Li doesn't know it yet; maybe one of the generals in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is Xia Liuliu's man.

The world of myriad laws is not a monolithic entity, but who says that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is united?

In some ways, the division within the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was even more severe than that within the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Laws.

As the battle becomes increasingly unfavorable and the conflict drags on, this division will become more pronounced.

As for the traitors in Valley God City, Su Li did not immediately execute them all. Out of a total of ten traitors, Su Li only killed two.

What excuse is needed to execute these two traitors?

Hehe.

Previously, perhaps an excuse was needed, since you can't just kill someone directly; it wouldn't be convincing to the public.

But now, Su Li holds the gold medal, which represents the Empress of Qi.

Su Li doesn't need evidence at all, nor does he need to worry about being impeached, because Su Li is not a member of the Qi Kingdom's court.

It can be said that only someone like Su Li, with such a status, could act with such impunity.
