Chapter 1156: Uncover the Traitor

Casalt:

Hearing this, Casalt instinctively turned his gaze toward the others beside him.

After a moment of thought,

finally, his eyes landed on a middle-aged man dressed in black.

Seeing this middle-aged man, he spoke quietly to Li Yue: "By the way, my lord, Lord Chenxi, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of it, but now that you bring it up, I really recall something strange."

Li Yue was as if injected with energy; instantly, he became excited.

"What is it?"

Regarding Casalt's words, Li Yue felt a certain curiosity.

Casalt did not hesitate at all; he raised his hand and pointed toward the middle-aged man.

"Here is what happened: some time ago, we were surrounded by the Demon Clan. To escape, we left a squad behind to block them."

"Under such circumstances, everyone knew that once left behind, it was practically a declaration of death. Yet unexpectedly, afterward, he returned alone, and bore no injuries whatsoever."

"I too had some doubts about this matter: so many died, yet only he survived. At the time, I did not think much of it. But now, my lord, Lord Chenxi, since you have spoken these words, I have noticed that the situation seems slightly different from what we assumed."

As Casalt spoke, he turned his gaze toward the middle-aged man beside him.

Li Yue followed his gaze and looked over.

He saw the man's face clearly.

His face was very thin; his complexion was as pale as paper. His entire face displayed a sickly pallor.

His eyes were as black as ink.

Upon seeing such a sight, Li Yue thought of several words.

Guilt! Panic!

Li Yue guessed in his heart.

However, he did not reveal it; instead, speaking in a calm tone, he said: "Is it acceptable if I handle this person myself?"

Hearing this, Casalt nodded, agreeing to Li Yue's proposal, then spoke: "No problem. As long as you are willing, I can help you deal with this issue. Of course, do you need to take this person with you?"

Casalt asked.

Li Yue shook his head: "No need. I will personally dispose of him."

Hearing these words, a flicker of surprise flashed deep in Casalt's eyes.

What matter could be so serious that Li Yue would act personally?

At this moment, Casalt's heart was filled with endless curiosity.

However, since Li Yue showed no intention of explaining, he did not dare to ask further.

"Very well." Casalt nodded.

Then his gaze turned toward the middle-aged man beside him, and he called out: "You, boy, come here. My lord, Lord Chenxi, wishes to ask you something."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man rose from his seat and immediately walked toward where Casalt stood.

When he reached Casalt, he bowed respectfully and said: "My lord, what are your orders?"

Casalt did not beat around the bush; instead, he said: "My lord, Lord Chenxi, has some matters requiring your cooperation. Whatever my lord, Lord Chenxi, tells you to do, you shall do it. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately nodded and said: "My lord, I understand. I will do everything exactly as you say."

Casalt hummed in acknowledgment, then looked toward Li Yue.

"My lord, Lord Chenxi, I shall take my leave for now. If you need anything, just call me."

"Mm."

Li Yue nodded.
