The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

On that day, after Zuowangdao killed the Dark Emperor's Hand in one fell swoop, Song Gua changed positions and went to the Third Guard City.

They borrowed Miss Butterfly's plane and captured Shi Qi, Shi Ji, Shi Youping, and some of the high-ranking members of the Shi family's garrison, bringing them onto the plane.

Miss Butterfly's plane is very technologically advanced.

It contains many small accessories.

For example, a navigation monitoring ball.

A tiny surveillance sphere that can fly around in the sky and film the things around it.

Song Gua left one in the No. 3 Guard City at that time.

So, everyone on the plane saw what Zhang Erhe did next.

This includes Shi Qi, Shi Ji, and other members of the Shi family who were arrested.

Shiji glanced at the dice headgear.

"It wasn't you..."

"Think about it carefully."

"Oh, oh...yes, yes...you really want to tell me?"

"Everyone has the right to know the truth."

"But the truth is not..."

"Think about it again."

Shi Ji swallowed hard.

The truth is that half of them were first slaughtered by bandits, and then the other half were slaughtered by Zhang Erhe.

Zhang Erhe said it was all the bandits who did it.

Undoubtedly, the bandits wanted Shi Ji to say that it was all Zhang Erhe's doing.

Toki still managed to get the hang of it.

However, this would be tantamount to slapping Zhang Erhe in the face.

Even if the bandits don't kill him today, Zhang Erhe won't let him off the hook once he gets out.

It was a tough choice.

"It was Zhang Erhe, a member of the Shi family's garrison regiment. He killed them all!"

The audience gasped in astonishment!

The live stream chat was filled with comments like:

"what?"

"ah??"

"ah???"

The large screen at the scene then began playing a video.

It's the footage from the navigator's monitoring racket.

The location where this was taken was very far from the ground.

So it wasn't clearly captured on film who was making the move.

It's not that Song Gua didn't want to get closer to take pictures, but rather that he couldn't get too close.

Because Zhang Erhe will find out.

Having dealt with the celestial beings for so many years, he knows all about their technological gadgets.

Although they were far apart, Zhang Erhe used a large-scale damage skill.

Looking down from the sky, one can clearly see the skill effects that cover the entire city.

In the scene, the dilapidated No. 3 Guard City suddenly reflects the light of blades, and at the same time, blood splatters everywhere.

"One skill, and the entire city will be wiped out!"

"Only a clergyman could do that!"

"So it really was Zhang Erhe who did the killing?"

"He killed the garrison troops himself, then framed bandits for it? Holy crap, what kind of brain circuit is that? A commander-in-chief, would he really go to such lengths to deal with a single force?"

Yes.

Why?

Shi Ji will answer everyone's questions right away.

"This, this is actually quite understandable... Respected Commander Zhang, he was actually killing us to cover it up. If we weren't all killed, there would be a risk that his hint to us not to let Yue Sheng and the others into the city for refuge would be leaked."

Song Gua nodded.

"Just like now."

Shi Ji wanted to salvage Zhang Erhe's reputation, hoping that if the bandits let him go, Zhang Erhe would also spare him, a nobody.

"That's not entirely true. Yue Sheng was indeed an inside man for the Celestials. Commander Zhang just didn't have evidence. And since it was the Abyss invasion at the time, he was probably worried that an inside man would sabotage the defense, so..."

"Oh, he has no evidence. A commander-in-chief, dealing with an inside man, not only doesn't follow normal legal procedures but chooses to take matters into his own hands, and without any evidence, he's just guessing?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant... I meant that Yue Sheng had a small team with him at the time, all of them his trusted confidants. If they were all moles, their destructive power would be extremely..."

"Oh, and there was another squad. I don't know if they were the mole, but they all got killed. They were really ruthless."

"I, I..."

Shi Ji was speechless.

How come things are getting worse the more they try to explain?

Oh no, I'm doomed.

Song Gua held a remote control in his hand and pressed a button.

The images on the big screen switched to several photos.

These are all photos taken by the photographer at the time, showing the scene of Yue Sheng's first death.

Song Gua had already arrived by then, and the photographer jumped off Song Gua and snapped a few pictures.

The photos show bandits clearing away the abyssal creatures around Yue Sheng and his team, and giving them potions, clearly intending to save them.

Yue Sheng's squad was almost entirely wiped out. The sight of them bound together, their unwavering loyalty to each other in the face of death, was truly moving.

"Look everyone, Yue Sheng, Captain Yue, the informant Zhang Erhe mentioned, the one who forced him and his squad into a bloody battle outside the city to prevent him from entering and seeking refuge! Where did he die?!"

Died in the wild.

There are no guard cities nearby.

Isolated and helpless, surrounded by abyssal creatures.

"Until the very end, Yue Sheng and his squad chose to fight to the death among the abyssal creatures, rather than breach the city's defenses and break into the city for safety! Is this what they call a traitor? He was incredibly stupid!"

From the perspective of the Song hexagram.

Yue Sheng does indeed have problems.

He must be connected to the celestial beings.

However, for those who do not have full knowledge of the inside story, this is all they see and hear at this moment.

The claim that Yue Sheng was an inside man for the Heavenly People is clearly untenable.

In other words, Shi Qi's initial statement that Zhang Erhe told the people of the Third Guard City not to let Yue Sheng and his group into the city for safety, and the reason he gave that "he is an inside man and therefore cannot be let in," is completely illogical!

The audience's conclusion was that Zhang Erhe wanted Yue Sheng dead, regardless of whether there was any mole or not.

Zhang Erhe not only launched sneak attacks from the shadows, but also used others to commit murder.

Even if Yue Sheng's death were to be brought up again someday, he could still claim it was Shi Jiaqian's doing.

After all, those people in the city were all silenced.

What he says goes.

"Heh, as expected of the commander, your plan is truly brilliant."

"This is the commander of our Federation's Ten Allied Armies. What nonsense about protecting the planet and our compatriots. It's all bullshit."

"So why is Zhang Erhe so obsessed with killing Yue Sheng? What threat does Yue Sheng pose to him?"

"Who knows! Maybe they killed Yue Sheng to frame the bandits!"

"This guy's insane! Insaner than bandits! He finds traitors through mere suspicion without any evidence, and he massacres entire cities at the drop of a hat. What a joke! How can I sleep at night with someone like this as a commander?"

"He deserved to have his statue on Ten Marshals Mountain blown up by those bandits! He doesn't deserve to be celebrated!"

"The most hateful are the Shi family, aiding and abetting evil! Their own people were all killed by Zhang Erhe, yet they still cooperated with Zhang Erhe in his charade! What treacherous people!"

The live stream chat has exploded.

The barrage of comments just wouldn't stop.

They were all questioning and insulting Zhang Erhe.

Where is Zhang Erhe at this time?

He was over the Pacific Ocean.

There was a gap of several hours between the bandits bombing Shishuai Mountain and the Xichuan City concert.

Upon learning of the news about Shishuai Mountain, Zhang Erhe immediately flew there on his mount.

When his subordinates called him and told him to watch the live stream, he realized that the bandits were using a diversionary tactic to try and transfer him away from the Huaxia region.

This will make it easier to organize this live stream.

"Damn bandits!"

Enraged, Zhang Erhe caused the seawater below to explode.

As expected of a clergyman, what an imposing presence!

Now, the question is whether to stop the bandits from replacing their statue with dice, or to go to Xichuan City to stop them from continuing to leak information and distort the facts.

This is a really tough choice.
