Chapter 452: [451] A Well-Deserved Reputation

Crimson Flame Lotus Island.

At this moment.

The words "the precious treasure has a slight sense of induction" spoken by Cheng Han instantly stirred up everyone's hearts.

Deputy General Xu Peng was both shocked and angry, unable to resist retorting, "Commander Cheng, based on unconfirmed empty words, do you dare to accuse me of being a spy?"

The others had different expressions.

General Jian Wanli glanced at Xu Peng, then at Cheng Han, remaining silent.

Although this Xuan Inspector did not explicitly state his position, from his expression, it seemed that he was more inclined to provide corresponding evidence.

After all, the possibility of a deputy general in the war zone being a spy was no small matter.

Deputy Commander Lan Jiayao quickly glanced at Xu Peng, becoming highly vigilant.

As a female Xuan Master, she had witnessed various means used by superiors, so she was more willing to believe Cheng Han's judgment.

Sima Nanshan, who had just arrived, had a stunned expression.

This Xuan Scholar never expected that before he even understood the basic situation of the war zone, he would encounter such an exciting scene.

The reputation of "the most stirring person in Qinghan Xuan Palace's history" is truly well-deserved!

Even in a different world, he can still stir things up vigorously.

As for the rest of the people in the war zone, their expressions were also varied.

Cheng Han's gaze fell on a shrimp pond in the distance, calmly saying, "The precious treasure I obtained has a very strong sense of extraordinary aura."

Just as he finished speaking.

A dark wave surged within him, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

The original platform where the Xuan Boat was docked disappeared, replaced by a vibrant giant flower, carrying everyone.

The group of people were immediately shocked.

As a Xuan Inspector-level powerhouse, Jian Wanli was the first to perceive the giant flower beneath his feet, which actually possessed real attributes.

In other words, this was a real illusion.

"Clap!"

Cheng Han snapped his fingers again.

The enormous Heavenly Leaf Lotus and the vast ocean in the distance all became blurry.

When they became clear again, this world had already turned into an ocean of flowers.

The air was filled with a strong floral fragrance.

This was the illusion of "Ocean of Flowers" that Cheng Han had previously used on his female secretary, Xie You.

Jian Wanli looked around and his expression became even more astonished.

Because this Xuan Inspector truly and distinctly sensed a trace of extremely faint divine power.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

The scale of such a grand illusion was not something an ordinary illusionist could achieve.

Cheng Han stood still, his voice reaching everyone's ears: "The precious gift bestowed by the Divine City happens to have an extraordinary sensitivity to floral scents."

Jian Wanli suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "Could it be the Ten Thousand Marvelous Spirit Orchid?"

This exclamation undoubtedly served as an endorsement of Cheng Han's words, affirming his identity as the leader.

Everyone instantly understood that there was indeed something to the "precious gift" and "floral scent" mentioned.

Cheng Han nodded and said, "You have a keen eye, my leader!"

The news of the precious gift would eventually spread; there was no need to hide it.

Jian Wanli suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes filled with envy. "So that's how it is!"

This attitude caused a group of people to look at him with surprise.

Not because they were looking at the leader.

But because they were looking at Cheng Han.

Even if they didn't understand what the Ten Thousand Marvelous Spirit Orchid was, they knew it was something that had shaken the leader.

Xu Peng finally seized the opportunity to interject and assumed a tough stance. "Commander Cheng, forgive me for speaking frankly, but just because you have gained the favor of the Divine City does not mean you can slander others at will."

This statement was very impolite.

Cheng Han, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. "Vice Commander Xu, please calm down!"

Xu Peng had intended to retort.

But when his gaze met Cheng Han's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a green light, and his mind was violently shaken, rendering him unable to utter a word.

This was the divine power aura contained within the Ten Thousand Marvelous Spirit Orchid bud, quietly released in a faint trace.

Although Xu Peng was a vice commander, his strength was only that of a high-level illusionist. How could he withstand the intimidation of divine power?

Cheng Han began to speak confidently, "When I was still in the war zone, I ordered the construction of three Qingmi Shrimp farms to study an important substance that had attracted the attention of a group of divine generals and divine lords - highly efficient kinetic matter."

Since then, the farms had been fully deployed in the Eastern Li war zone.

Now, on the six Tianye Lotuses, there were no less than three hundred large artificial breeding lakes, supporting tens of thousands of people in related industries.

Cheng Han continued, "I remember one day, there was an accident on a floating wood boat that was salvaging ball algae around Lian Island."

"A worker was accidentally caught in the salvage net and tragically torn into dozens of pieces."

Jian Wanli's expression was quite subtle.

In the eyes of the leader, the death of a worker was just a trivial matter.

Because in the Eastern Li war zone, there was not a single day without deaths, and there had even been tragedies where thousands of people died in a single day, more than once.

The leader never expected that Commander Cheng would remember such a small incident.

Cheng Han's tone became cold and stern, "The salvage boat was a special vessel designed by me. There was no need for any contact during the normal deployment and retrieval of the salvage net."

"So I found it quite strange that such an accident occurred, and I took the liberty to conduct an examination of the body."

As the story reached this point, there was a slight pause.

"Hu!"

The fragrant breeze blowing from the sea of flowers carried a hint of sea salt.

The scene of the ocean of fresh flowers immediately became blurry.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of imaginary waves surged.

The surrounding scenery quickly changed.

Only to see the sky pouring rain, a wet wooden raft was docked on the shore of a lotus island, swaying with the waves.

This scene.

It felt incredibly real.

Even Jian Zhu, as a "newcomer," instantly gained a fairly intuitive understanding of the harsh environment of the Yu Miao realm.

Even the Lord himself found it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, let alone others.

And this practice of "mentioning something and then displaying a corresponding protective scene" was truly impressive.

Cheng Han's voice, clear through the pouring rain: "At that time, I vaguely felt that something was not quite right with the corpse, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was."

As soon as the words fell.

"Whoosh~"

A particularly large wave surged.

The small wooden raft violently shook.

Figures of crew members appeared on the boat, their faces filled with panic.

"Someone is dead!"

"Somebody was strangled by the fishing net!"

A large bundle of fishing net hanging at the bow of the boat could be seen enveloping a blurry mass of flesh and blood.

The pouring rain washed down, and large amounts of blood flowed onto the deck.

This scene was both horrifying and disgusting to watch.

Cheng Han suddenly sighed: "Today, I saw Xu Peng again, using the powerful sensing ability of the precious treasure to sense the aura."

"I discovered that the aura of Deputy General Xu seems to have some similarities with the aura of this deceased worker."

Xu Peng instinctively shouted, "You're talking nonsense! I have never seen this worker before."

No one else spoke.

The Lord was the same.

From the expressions of the crowd, this "speak and the image follows" performance seemed to make them more inclined to believe these words.

After all, Commander Cheng presented evidence, although they couldn't comprehend the so-called aura, at least there was something.

However, Xu Peng's words were empty and lacked persuasiveness.

Cheng Han didn't care about Xu Peng's anger and continued speaking to himself, "Now that I think about it, when I saw the body, I felt something was off. It should have been a premonition from the soul, a warning that the mastermind was trying to harm me."

Xu Peng sternly rebuked, "This is completely absurd speculation. What kind of evidence is this?"

Cheng Han snorted, "Vice General Xu, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you so eager to draw conclusions?"

He immediately continued, "As I mentioned earlier, I am extremely sensitive to extraordinary auras. There should be a pot of 'Seven Star Drunken Butterfly Flowers' from the Void Wind Realm in Vice General Xu's residence, right?"

Xu Peng paused and did not answer.

Lan Jiayao decisively chimed in, "Commander Cheng, I visited Vice General Xu's residence last month and indeed saw a pot of Seven Star Drunken Butterfly Flowers."

The female mysticist was not afraid of offending the vice general, especially since she had already decided to closely follow her superior and would not knowingly withhold information.

Cheng Han then explained the reason, "The miraculous power of the Wondrous Spirit Banyan Blossom reminded me of this aura, which was once found on a worker's body."

This was actually a way of "shooting an arrow first and then drawing the target."

Since the Underworld had discovered that Xu Peng had a problem, he would search for issues in every detail and always find something amiss.

Xu Peng rudely refuted, "A lingering aura from a few months ago, and you, just a mere mysticist, how could you sense it..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a cough.

"Cough!"

It was the cough of the master.

Everyone's gaze immediately locked onto this powerful mysticist.

Jian Wanli didn't beat around the bush and directly expressed his opinion, "As far as I know, the Wondrous Spirit Banyan Blossom is known as the 'Master of Ten Thousand Flowers.' It is a treasure born from the core of the Divine Banyan. If one fully masters the power of the Wondrous Spirit Banyan Blossom, they can even sense an aura left behind two years ago."

The mention of being "born from the core of the Divine Banyan" caused everyone to show astonishment.

The statement of "sensing an aura from years ago" also made everyone find it hard to believe, and their gaze towards Cheng Han changed as well.

The master's attitude revealed through this statement undoubtedly showed clear support for Cheng Han.

Xu Peng's face turned pale and he refused to admit this fact, "This is impossible!"

He gritted his teeth and made a public oath, "I swear in the name of the Divine Banyan, I have never seen the murdered worker, nor have I plotted against him. If I speak a single false word, I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Cheng Han chuckled lightly, "Vice General Xu, why do you have to make it sound so serious?"

He suddenly changed the topic, "I'm just saying that the mastermind is highly likely to have some connection with you, but it doesn't mean you are the spy in this war zone."

Xu Peng was confused.

Everyone else was also bewildered.

This series of evidence clearly indicated that Vice General Xu had a significant suspicion. Why did Commander Cheng say that he had no problem?

What was Commander Cheng up to?

Was he playing a guessing game with everyone?
