Chapter 1201 Where Is Ling Xiao?
“Detected a faint thermal signal in the north-eastern direction,” (Belief) suddenly reminded Ling Xiao.

“Why would there be a thermal signal in an abandoned wormhole? This is interesting.” Ling Xiao smiled. “Let’s go and take a look.”

“Yes, general.” (Belief]’s mecha body disappeared as it moved silently towards the direction of the thermal signal.

While Ling Xiao was thinking of all the possible reasons for there to be a thermal signal in an abandoned wormhole, (Belief] suddenly stopped moving. Ling Xiao woke up from his daze and zoomed in on the floating object that was emitting heat.

“It looks like a metal fragment,” Ling Xiao said softly.

“The explosion of Planet Zuojing will result in such rubble.” (Belief) thought that it was normal.

“Well, what kind of rubble can emit thermal energy for almost 30 years without depleting?” Ling Xiao smiled as he asked (Belief]. To anyone else, (Belief] was just a mecha. However, to Ling Xiao, (Belief] was a member of his small family. It was a comrade he could trust with his entire life. He treated (Belief] like a brother of his.

(Belief] thought carefully before answering, “Nuclear energy…” It sounded hesitant.

“The explosion on Planet Zuojing was caused because I ignited all the energy on the planet.” Ling Xia immediately rejected (Belief]’s guess mercilessly.

“There’s nothing else then.” (Belief) was disappointed. It always lost to its master in arguments.

“Thus, this metal fragment must have been here after the destruction of Planet Zuojing,” Ling Xiao said. “Moreover, since I can enter the wormhole, the three great mecha lords of Twilight should have came here too.”

“What is it?” (Belief] was curious.

“Can you scan its internal structure?” Ling Xiao asked.

“No.” (Belief] tried to scan it but it came back with bad news.

“That means that it’s not a normal piece of rubble.” It would be best if they could scan the internal structure of the object. If they couldn’t, it meant that things were complicated.

“What do we do now? Shall we take it?” (Belief) was excited. It was very interested in the fragment.

“Of course not. It might be a trap.” Ling Xiao was in deep thought.

“Huh?” (Belief) was confused.

“Let’s go back. It looks like we need to go on a different path.” Ling Xiao decided to give up his original plan after much consideration.

“Why?” (Belief] asked as it retreated silently.

“Our plan was leaked.” Ling Xiao gave a cold smile. When they found the spy, he had the feeling that this person he caught wasn’t the most important spy in the Federation. Now, the most important and secretive spy was finally starting to create trouble. However, this wormhole wasn’t his only plan. He was using it to probe his enemy too.

He wondered who the spy was. Ling Xiao closed his eyes and considered all his options. He decided that he must find this spy. If not, there would be serious implications.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough information for him to deduce the identity of the spy. Ling Xiao sighed. He was given too little time. His intelligence network wasn’t as vast as some of the elite families who specialised in intelligence.

“General is back.” After some time, He Xuyang received news that Ling Xiao was back from the wormhole.

‘Did the general find a way through the wormhole?’ He Xuyang wondered as he saw Ling Xiao walking into the command center.
