Traitor

There was almost no doubt about the culprit. The formation hadn't failed earlier, nor had it failed later. It had failed just when it was Ding Li'an's turn to take control of it.

With a Heavenly Body Tier elite standing guard, who could hope to damage the city protection formation?

Thus, it was abundantly clear that it was Ding Li'an who had betrayed them and damaged the city protection formation. He had opened the city gates to invite their enemies in!

However, why had he done this?

So be it if it were someone else. However, Ding Li'an was mesmerized by the empress so much that he still hadn't started a family yet, so how could he betray her?

It was because of this that the eight Heavenly Body Tier elites refused to believe that Ding Li'an was the traitor, even though every piece of evidence pointed toward it.
