Charles Water originally wanted the Spiritual Superpower User in the team to undergo Spiritual Torture first, but Lu Heng objected, insisting that it start with him.

This displeased Charles Water.

"You're completely wasting time. We underwent Spiritual Torture just a few days ago and there was no issue,"

he said, pointing at Zhao Liwen, and demanded, "Ask her, has she or has she not conducted Spiritual Torture on us?"

Zhao Liwen had no fondness for Charles Water and the others, but as the person in charge of Spiritual Torture, she insisted on principle and nodded in response:

"Yes, Lu Heng, I have previously subjected them to Spiritual Torture, and it's possible to rule out their suspicion. I assure you I have been fair."

Lu Heng raised his hand with a strong tone, said, "I am now demanding that you perform Spiritual Torture on them again."

"Alright," Zhao Liwen nodded in agreement.

The female Spiritual Superpower User from the White Eagle team slammed the table in anger, and strode up to Zhao Liwen, berating her:

"Come on! Torture me!"

Zhao Liwen took a step back, intimidated by her assertiveness.

Su Muyu raised her hand to protect Zhao Liwen and looked at Allen Bella with a smile, "Intimidating her is useless. Actually, it's fine to start with you, I will perform Spirit Awakening on her. Then, it will be crystal clear whether you are human or a ghost."

Allen Bella's expression stiffened noticeably upon hearing this.

The atmosphere at the scene started to grow tense.

Charles Water's expression was also becoming increasingly ugly, he questioned, "First off, I'm not opposed to undergoing Spiritual Torture, but there's one thing, how can you be sure that this woman isn't the Traitor? If she is the Traitor, can she just point at someone and we have to kill that person? That would make the role of the Traitor far too easy."

This was indeed a problem, as there was currently no evidence to prove that Zhao Liwen was not the Traitor.

Although Lu Heng felt she probably wasn't the Traitor, that couldn't serve as evidence.

As long as Zhao Liwen could not completely clear herself of suspicion, then the identity of her targets of Spirit Check couldn't be completely confirmed either.

This formed an unsolvable vicious cycle.

Even though Lu Heng had his suspicions on the most likely candidate, he just couldn't find direct evidence right now.

If he were ruthless, he could just kill directly, but then the nature of the issue would change.

Xie Shi'en, who had been sitting in a corner, watched everyone's performance. Seeing that the game had reached a deadlock, he raised his hand and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, I also possess skills suitable for a Spirit Check. Alongside Miss Zhao Liwen, we could perform a cross Spirit Check."

While speaking, he stood up and looked at the blonde woman, chuckling:

"Allen Bella, right? We can start with you too. My Class is Spirit Mind Master, you can try to overwhelm me with your spiritual power."

Upon this statement,

Allen Bella's complexion turned extremely sour. Being a Spiritual Superpower User herself, she was acutely aware that being overpowered by a Spirit Mind Master was easy, but trying to overpower one was a death wish.

Lu Heng did not expect that with Xie Shi'en's mere words, the blonde woman named Allen Bella would be so pressured that her face contorted.

The blonde woman, Allen Bella, retreated to stand next to Charles Water.

The four from the White Eagle Team started to subtly move their hands, slowly closing in together, and two of them glanced at the doorway as well.

Lu Heng snapped his fingers, instructing the Black Iron Dwarf guards to close the doors of the great hall.

Charles Water narrowed his eyes in anger, lashing out, "You are deliberately targeting us, the White Eagle Federation, trying to set us up!"

Lu Heng leaned his hand on the back of a chair, sighed, and said, "Enough, no use in making excuses. The expressions on your faces have already betrayed you.

"But, you did guess one thing correctly.

"This whole setup was mainly prepared for you because you were the ones I suspected from the start."

At first, others might not have been too suspicious of Charles Water.

But now, the four from the White Eagle Federation stood back-to-back, an obvious readiness to fight.

This caused the surrounding Power Users to step back a bit and keep a close watch.

Even including Piao Xianzhen.

Piao Xianzhen's nation was used to playing the part of a lackey, but he wasn't actually keen on dying.

Charles Water, with a very ugly face, asked, "What reason do you have to suspect me?"

Lu Heng patted the chair back and replied, "Actually, you were too greedy. When the Bloodline Demon was defeated, you should have fled.

"The Molten Lava Plain is so vast, if you had fled during the battle, even if I wanted to find you, I wouldn't be able to.

"Unfortunately, you thought you were well hidden, confident you wouldn't be caught, and you also coveted the materials from the Purgatory Sub-Dragon.

"The moment you became greedy, you sealed your fate."

Lu Heng paused, then continued:

"As for why I suspect you, frankly, it was because your enthusiasm in the fight was too low initially.

"This also shows, you're somewhat foolish.

"As a Traitor, you should have been fiercer than anyone when it came to killing Demons, that's how you avoid suspicion.

"As for when I became certain it was you—when you had the Spiritual Superpower User on your team undergo Spiritual Torture first.

"A few days ago, it was the Spiritual Superpower User from your team who underwent Spiritual Torture first, and now it's happening again.

"This is too deliberate; it made me consider a possibility.

"During Zhao Liwen's first session of Spiritual Torture for your team, it must've been her who used her Spiritual Skill to manipulate Zhao Liwen, leading to Zhao Liwen's erroneous conclusion."
