Chapter 795 Find out the truth
She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice steady. "These magical instruments were originally stored in a secret room in Yama Palace. If someone hadn't deliberately leaked them, they wouldn't have appeared in the Ghost Market."
After hearing this, King Pingdeng frowned and looked uneasy.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a low sound.
"Could it be that there really is a problem within our Yama Palace?"
"It's very likely." Chen Yile said with a firm gaze and an unquestionable tone.
"According to our investigation in the Ghost Market, these magical instruments were used to help Xiao Guangjun maintain his magic circle. And Xiao Guangjun is Ling Xuzi's subordinate. Therefore, it can be seen that the purpose of the inner traitor is likely to help Ling Xuzi."
His words were like a sharp blade, piercing everyone's heart, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became more depressing.
At this moment, the Ten Kings of Hell whispered in unison, discussing countermeasures and decided to launch a comprehensive investigation.
King Qin Guang's voice resonated powerfully in the quiet air: "The task of finding the traitor is now up to you."
His eyes were as sharp as torches, revealing a resolute attitude, "No matter who he is, he must be brought to justice."
Chen Yile and the other two accepted the order and pledged to complete the mission and find the traitor.
The three of them gathered in a dimly lit room, with several documents and materials scattered on the table, and the air was filled with tension.
As his fingers slid across the document, Chen Yile's brows furrowed slightly. "There's a man named Zhang Ming who's been frequently entering and leaving the secret room recently."
"Zhang Ming?" Li Xixi's voice was filled with doubt. Her eyes darted among the crowd, trying hard to recall the name. "He has always been the most capable assistant to the King of Pingdeng. How could he..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Yile decisively interrupted her thoughts: "Although Zhang Ming appears loyal, we cannot rule out the possibility that he might be a mole."
Yan Zhen also frowned and thought: "We can test him first and see his true reaction."
In such an atmosphere, the three decided to test Zhang Ming first, pretending to accidentally mention the magic weapon stolen in the Ghost Market, waiting for an opportunity to observe his reaction.
An hour later, Zhang Ming was called by three people.
His face looked a little tired under the light, but he still maintained his usual politeness.
Chen Yile pretended to be relaxed and casually mentioned, "I heard that some stolen magical instruments appeared in the Ghost Market recently. I wonder if you have heard about it?"
Zhang Ming's reaction was like ripples. His expression changed slightly for a moment, then returned to calm, like a still lake. "Oh, I haven't heard of that."
"Really?" Li Xixi smiled, a shrewd glint in her eyes, "It seems you don't care about this matter."
Zhang Ming forced a smile and said, "Yes, I have been busy dealing with the matters assigned by King Pingdeng recently."
Yan Zhen was secretly alert, observing every subtle change of Zhang Ming. He kept thinking in his mind that Zhang Ming's behavior was indeed suspicious.
"Zhang Ming, we know you recently bought a luxury house."
Li Xixi's voice was like a thunder, echoing in the room.
She raised her head, her eyes firm and sharp, as if piercing straight into the heart.
"And you often go to some high-end places." She added, with a slight smile on her lips.
She described Zhang Ming in those gorgeous banquet halls, surrounded by a group of well-dressed people.
Chen Yile continued in a deep voice, "This is very suspicious. How could an ordinary subordinate of Lord Yan have so much money? What secrets are you hiding?"
There was silence for a moment.
"Zhang Ming, we know you are the traitor."
Chen Yile's voice was like a knife cutting through the night sky. As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were like sharp arrows, shooting straight at Zhang Ming.
At this moment, Zhang Ming was like a captured animal. His face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly. "How...how did you know?"
His voice was tinged with fear and unease.
"It's simple." Li Xixi's tone became calm and firm. "Your lifestyle has changed a lot, and you've been going in and out of the secret room frequently recently."
Every word she said seemed to push Zhang Ming into the abyss, making it impossible for him to struggle any longer.
Zhang Ming lowered his head, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes: "Okay, I admit it. I am the traitor."
His words were like a bombshell, exploding in the silence and bringing endless shock.
Immediately, the three began questioning him about his motives. Zhang Ming's expression grew increasingly heavy, as if burdened with unspeakable pain, his panting revealing helplessness and despair.
"Zhang Ming, you must be responsible for your actions."
Zhang Ming lowered his head, his fingers tightly clenching his clothes, his knuckles turning pale from the strain. His tone was filled with helplessness and despair: "I know I am not qualified to ask for forgiveness, but I am willing to atone for my sins with my life."
His voice was like a faint candle, flickering but unwilling to go out.
At this moment, he was like a bird trapped in the darkness, longing to see the light again but with nowhere to escape.
Li Xixi felt Zhang Ming's inner struggle, and a complex mix of emotions filled her heart.
"It's easy for you to atone for your sins. We need your help."
After a while.
Under the leadership of Zhang Ming, they walked quietly and silently into the secret stronghold hidden in the Palace of King Yan.
Finally, they came to an old warehouse hidden in a dark corner.
The heavy iron door looked shabby and hideous. Zhang Ming held the door handle with trembling hands, his heart filled with fear and despair.
"Take us in."
Zhang Ming nodded, a trace of courage ignited in his heart, and then he pushed open the iron door.
The warehouse was dark and damp, and there was a pungent musty smell all around.
Precious magical weapons were piled up randomly in dark corners, waiting to be sold to the ghost market by Zhang Ming, the soul merchant.
Some of the magical instruments flickered with blue light, like stars in the dark, while others were ancient and mottled, as if telling a thousand-year-old story.
The space was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, like a mixture of death and greed. Zhang Ming's heart was filled with the desire for wealth, completely ignoring the potential danger.
At this point, the traitor has been found out and the loss of the magic weapon in the Yama Palace has also been found.
As the operation to eliminate the internal traitors gradually unfolded, the Ten Kings of Hell also began to conduct a comprehensive internal cleanup.
All those who colluded with Ling Xuzi were brought to justice, and the dark forces of the past quickly dissipated like fallen leaves in the wind under the pursuit of justice.
At the last moment, Zhang Ming stood in the sun, raised his head, closed his eyes, and felt the warm glow.
He knew that he might not be able to completely redeem his past mistakes, but at least, every step in the future would be to protect the light that he cherished.
