However, what happened next distracted Shen Hua.

Just as Shen Hua suspected that Wang Xin was an inside traitor, he learned that Miss Wang was still being hunted down.

At that moment, Shen Hua thought, "Could it be that I'm overthinking it, and there's no traitor, and the real culprit is with Miss Wang?"

"If we resolve the issue with Miss Wang, will everything be perfect?"

Shen Hua didn't care whether there was a traitor in the Wang family's team; he only cared about his mission score.

So he temporarily put the matter of the traitor out of his mind and focused on dealing with Wang Yun's situation.

However, he still kept a wary eye on Wang Xin.

It wasn't until Wang Yun's problem was finally resolved, but the mission completion rate still hadn't reached "perfect," that he realized something was wrong and began to reconsider the issue of the traitor.

Otherwise, if it had been a "perfect" rating, he would have just settled the account without thinking too much.

On the way back, on Wang Yun's leaf-shaped magic artifact, Wang Yun really wanted to chat with Shen Hua more. After all, facing such a genius in weapon crafting, any cultivator would stand on tiptoe and look at him with more respect.

Shen Hua, however, said that he was "too exhausted and needed to rest," and closed his eyes to recall all his experiences along the way.

Finally, he concluded that Wang Xin was the traitor!

It was precisely because this traitor was not identified that his mission score could not reach "perfect".

Sure enough, Wang Xin looked extremely flustered when faced with Shen Hua's direct attack.

And that look in his eyes was enough to prove that Shen Hua's judgment was accurate!

……

"Don't make baseless accusations!" Wang Xin said agitatedly, veins bulging on his forehead. "You say I'm a traitor, but I've served the master for many years with unwavering loyalty! What proof do you have?"

Shen Hua, however, remained calm and composed.

He slowly paced in front of the crowd, his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "Since that's the case, let me tell you a story first."

"The story begins with me."

"I heard the sounds of fighting coming from the side of the official road, and out of curiosity, I came to investigate."

"But when I arrived here, I saw this scene."

Shen Hua pointed to the Wang family guards: "Your family guards fought against the demonic sect members, and they are all covered in blood, but the leader, Wang Xin, is completely clean, without a single drop of blood. Isn't that strange?"

Wang Yun looked thoughtful and frowned slightly, saying, "This is indeed a bit strange... But benefactor, this doesn't mean anything, does it? Wang Xin is, after all, a cultivator who doesn't need to participate in close combat, so it's normal that he's not stained with blood."

Wang Xin crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "That's right, I can use a magic weapon, why should I get into close combat?"

"Alright, let's just say that's one way to explain it. Besides, I didn't suspect you at the time," Shen Hua said with a smile, continuing to stroll slowly.

After saying that, he continued, "But what happened next made me suspicious."

He looked directly at Wang Xin and said, "Afterwards, the people of the Demonic Sect discovered me, and I was forced to join the battle."

"But before I joined the battle, you were able to fight two demonic cultivators at once and evenly matched."

"But after I joined the battle, a demonic cultivator took the initiative to engage me in combat, so you only need to deal with the remaining one."

"In this situation, you should have won quickly and crushed your opponent."

"However, the reality is that you're still evenly matched, going back and forth without any sign of overwhelming dominance or victory. What does this mean?"

Shen Hua said seriously, "There are only two explanations: one is that the Demonic Sect members were letting the enemy pass at the beginning; the other is that you were letting the enemy pass! If you weren't colluding with the Demonic Sect members, why would you let the enemy pass?"

Upon hearing Shen Hua's words, everyone's attention turned to Wang Xin.

The guards reached out and grasped the hilts of their swords, their faces showing suspicion.

Several young children hid behind their mother in fear, only peeking out with one eye to look at Wang Xin.

Wang Xin looked slightly flustered.

However, he still stubbornly insisted, "That doesn't prove anything. At the beginning, I was fighting two against one because my magic weapon had a relatively high explosive power, which allowed me to barely withstand the attacks of the two demonic sect members."

"Later, my mana was depleted and my strength weakened, which is why I was unable to defeat that single member of the demonic sect."

After saying this, Wang Xin turned to Wang Feng, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Master, although Young Master Xia is our savior, I absolutely did not..."

"Shut up!" Shen Hua interrupted him sharply. "Then how do you explain what happened after that?"

Shen Hua pointed to the newly erected earthen wall fifty meters away and said solemnly, "To cover the escape of the Demonic Sect, you deliberately used the [Earth Wall Technique] to block my magical artifact. You said at the time that you accidentally placed it crookedly, but is there really such a coincidence in the world?"

Shen Hua stared directly at Wang Xin: "I'm asking you! Did you really unleash the [Earth Wall Technique] to intercept the members of the Demonic Sect?"

"..." Wang Xin did not answer, his face turning pale and then red, but his hand had already moved towards the blue flying knife magic weapon.

"This..." Wang Yun and Wang Feng exchanged a glance, both of them filled with suspicion.

The fact that Wang Xin's clothes were clean can be explained.

However, the fact that he seemed to hold back in the battle against the demonic cultivators and used the [Earth Wall Technique] to intercept friendly magical artifacts looks very strange!

Wang Yun frowned further and said, "In that situation, wouldn't it have been better to use [Earth Prison]? Why did you use [Earth Wall]?"

"I..." Wang Xin's heart raced as he racked his brains, trying to find a reason to defend himself.

At the same time, Shen Hua smiled at Wang Xin and said, "Do you remember? I patted you on the shoulder twice while we were walking just now."

"Hmm?" Wang Xin's expression changed.

Shen Hua laughed and said, "Do you think I'm close to you? Why did I pat you on the shoulder? Here's the reason!"

Shen Hua took out a black talisman from his backpack.

This is the one he just handcrafted using a blank talisman and a [Fire Spirit Pill].

But Shen Hua insisted confidently, saying with great seriousness, "This is what I just found on you; it's a communication talisman from the Demonic Sect!"

Shen Hua held the talisman high and shouted, "This is the evidence of your collusion with the demonic sect! Now that things have come to this, what else do you have to say?"

"Oh no!" Wang Xin exclaimed in alarm, quickly reaching into his shirt to check his chest.

How did Shen Hua manage to steal his communication talisman from the Demonic Sect?!

But upon touching it, he was surprised to find that the communication talisman was still there!

The communication talisman remained intact in his arms, untouched by Shen Hua.

But what is that Shen Hua is holding?

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Wang Xin finally realized he had been fooled, and he froze on the spot, unable to move.

His act of reaching into his robes alone completely exposed his identity as a traitor!

……

At the same time, Shen Hua also breathed a long sigh of relief.

In reality, he did not have direct evidence that Wang Xin was an internal traitor.

However, not having evidence doesn't mean you can't pretend you have evidence!

He knew what the Demonic Sect's communication talisman looked like.

So he used the Fire Spirit Pill to burn the blank talisman black, disguising its appearance as a demonic sect communication talisman.

As expected, Wang Xin's true colors were revealed after being tricked!
