Chapter 256: Speculating on the Traitor

Han Luoling ran to the lake behind the Wanhua Pavilion and sobbed beside the reflection of the moonlight.

Her shoulders kept shaking, and it could be seen that she was experiencing great pain in her heart.

Han Xu stood behind her silently, not knowing how to comfort her.

His closest elder, the King of Wei, suddenly became Han Luoling, no, it should be the enemy who killed Luo Ling's father.

He knew the contradiction in Luo Ling's heart. On the one hand, he wanted revenge, but on the other hand, he didn't want to hurt Han Xu.

During the days trapped in Weiyang Palace, Han Xu had told Luo Ling about the King of Wei and Mu Yao, so she knew what position the King of Wei had in Han Xu's heart.

The night was as beautiful as water, but sometimes such a beautiful scenery could easily double the sadness in people's hearts.

"What should I do?" Han Xu thought to himself, but he didn't dare to take that step.

He recalled the whole story that the King of Wei said in his mind. In addition to Han Li, there was another doubt.

The traitor of the Demon Palace seemed to have never appeared again in the description of King Wei, and his identity was not explained.

In Han Xu's view, the traitor of the Demon Palace was the culprit who killed Luo Tianhao. He was the one who informed Emperor Wu that Luo Tianhao had the intention of rebellion and leaked the secret that Luo Tianhao wanted to impact the Holy Realm. This led to Emperor Wu gathering the masters of the world and destroying the Demon Palace and killing Luo Tianhao at all costs.

However, now is not the time to go forward and reason with Luo Ling. What Luo Ling needs now is to vent her emotions.

I don't know how long it took, when Luo Ling's sobbing gradually stopped, Han Xu walked out from behind and gently hugged her.

"Han Xu, what do you think I should do?" Luo Ling asked without looking back.

Han Xu thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely find the traitor who betrayed your father. As for the rest, it's up to you. I think since Uncle Wei has decided to tell you the truth, he has already thought about the consequences."

"In fact, I also know that he was also acting on orders back then. The real murderer should be that traitor and Wu Lie. If it weren't for that traitor, Wu Lie wouldn't know my father's secret and take action. If it weren't for Wu Lie's order, the others wouldn't have followed him into the Demon Palace."

"I will help you kill them. I have a hunch that the traitor in the Demon Palace will soon show up on his own." Han Xu said, "After things are over here, I will take you to the upper realm to see it, change your environment and live, and forget all the unpleasantness in the past."

Luo Ling nodded and hummed in a very light voice.

What Han Xu said about leaving here and living in the upper realm is indeed the best way, but the premise is to take revenge first.

Otherwise, the thorn in Luo Ling's heart will always be there.

After finally coaxing Luo Ling to sleep, Han Xu couldn't fall asleep himself. He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open.

Qing'er came in with a bowl of ginseng soup and brought it to Han Xu's bedside.

"How do you know I can't sleep?" Han Xu asked Qing'er.

"Master and Miss were by the lake just now, I saw it all." Qing'er lowered her head and said, "Master, Miss will figure it out."

"I know." Han Xu finished speaking, took a sip of soup, and said, "Qing'er, thank you."

"Master, these are what Qing'er should do."

"It's late, go to rest."

"Then Qing'er will go out first."

After speaking, Qing'er went out with the empty bowl. I don't know if it was because the ginseng soup refreshed him, Han Xu suddenly had a bold guess.

Thinking of this, he didn't care that it was already late, and he put on his clothes and went to the place where King Wei lived.

"Uncle Wei, I have a question, please think about it."

"You say." King Wei hadn't slept yet, and it was obvious that he was also worried.

"When did you four start following the Emperor?"

"The first to follow the Emperor was Xia Tao. According to him, he had been practicing with the Emperor since he was a child."

"No wonder the Emperor trusted him." Han Xu said. Even the Crown Prince could be entrusted to Xia Tao, which was enough to show the Emperor's trust in Xia Tao.

"The second one was Long Xuan. He was the most famous genius in the East Territory. When he met the Emperor who was out for training, the two of them got to know each other."

"Then it was me. When I went down the mountain with my junior sister, my master asked me to assist the Emperor."

"Finally, it was Han Li." After King Wei finished speaking, Han Xu asked, "What did Han Li do before he followed the Emperor."

"Before that, Han Li was not famous. He seemed to be a hermit cultivator. Even in his hometown of the North Territory, no one had heard of his name. It was like a person who appeared out of thin air."

"Then do you think he had a good reputation? Maybe it has something to do with the Demon Palace?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, I suspect he was the traitor of the Demon Palace, otherwise he wouldn't know the direction Luo Ling escaped, and he wouldn't be able to adopt Luo Ling."

Han Xu said: "Do you know that Luo Ling practiced the Demon Palace's sect technique, Mirror Flower and Water Moon? If Han Li has nothing to do with the Demon Palace, how did this technique come from? You should know that when the Demon Palace was in trouble, Luo Ling was just a baby. Such an important technique could not be placed on her."

In the final analysis, it was Mirror Flower and Water Moon that made Han Xu make such a guess.

He had traveled all over the northern border, but the system did not find the Mirror Flower and Water Moon technique, and it was not found in the royal city.

If it was obtained from the spoils of the Demon Palace, it is impossible that no one practiced this level of technique, and if the Martial Emperor found it, he would definitely go to the palace later.

Before coming to the Royal City, Luo Ling had never left the Northern Territory. Han Xu could never figure out where she had cultivated the Mirror Flower and Water Moon.

But if this technique was originally in Han Li's hands, if he was the traitor of the Demon Palace, then everything could be explained.

The people who knew Luo Tianhao's secret were naturally the top leaders of the Demon Palace. In those days, the strength of the Demon Palace was even stronger than that of the Holy Dao Palace today, so the top leaders of the Demon Palace were definitely the best in the world, and Han Li fits this definition.

Han Li had not followed the Martial Emperor before, and he was named the King of the Northern Territory just because of the battle in the Demon Palace. His merits were not enough, unless, before that, he had made great contributions and told the Martial Emperor the news about Luo Tianhao, which was also a great contribution.

In addition, the fact that the Martial Emperor allowed him to take charge of the Northern Territory showed that Han Li was very familiar with the Northern Territory. If he was a master who had always been practicing in seclusion, he would never be so familiar with the Northern Territory, and the Martial Emperor would not be at ease letting a hermit who was devoted to cultivation take charge of such a large place as the Northern Territory.

The more he thought about it, the more Han Xu felt that it was Han Li.

"If it is really him, then he must have already arrived near the royal city." Han Xu thought, and then thought of what Zhu Weitong had told him not long ago that there was a powerful force sealed in Luo Ling's body, and Han Xu suddenly shuddered.

"Uncle Wei, I have to go out for a while."
