"Yes, it's me."
"I am Nurarihyon, the vice-captain of the Hundred Demons!"
Seeing that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room reached 1 million, Nurarihyon was overjoyed. He had thought that revealing Silver Dragon's hidden identity would generate a lot of buzz, but he did not expect it to reach such an astonishing level!
At this very moment.
A QQ message notification sounded on another phone on the desktop.
This is news from the Imperial Crown Nine Core Members Group.
All members of the team led by Imperial Crown [ Shen Monkey · Wangsun ] have been tagged!
[ Shen Monkey · Wangsun ]: Urgent notice! At 12:00 tonight, the top management of Imperial Crown will hold a voice decision-making meeting on a particularly important matter concerning the life and death of Imperial Crown. All core members of Imperial Crown must be present!
Group messages scrolled rapidly.
"Receive!"
"Learn!"
"Clear!"
Nurarihyon chuckled twice.
Now that all Three Champion Emperors have joined Sovereign Dominion, they have already crossed the red line set by their Imperial Crown. If he is not mistaken, this emergency meeting will definitely be to discuss going to war with the Three Champion Emperors.
"I, Nurarihyon, have transformed myself and infiltrated the core decision-making body of the Imperial Crown for nine years. Now, with the right time, place, and people, the opportunity to overthrow the Imperial Crown has arrived."
"I, Nurarihyon, must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Not only must I bring the Imperial Emperor down from his pedestal, but I must also drain everyone in the Imperial Crown dry and transform the Imperial Crown Team into the second Hundred Demons Team!"
"Haha, heaven helps those who help themselves; with perseverance and determination, three thousand Yue soldiers can conquer Wu!"
Nurarihyon's laughter was cunning and maniacal. " Your Imperial Emperor, Your Imperial Emperor, you would never have imagined that Nurarihyon, the vice-captain of the Hyakki Yagyō (Hundred Demons ) whom you once despised, has already infiltrated the Imperial Crown and become one of your most trusted core members!"
The group messages are still scrolling.
Nurarihyon typed a reply: Received.
A wicked smile bloomed on his lips.
"Let's make a bet, Imperial Emperor! Can you guess which core member I am?"
"It's [ Shen Monkey Wangsun ]!"
In the Sovereign Dominion's lounge, Yin Long stood up and slammed his fist on the table, gritting his teeth as he said, "It was that bastard Wangsun who instigated me to seize Imperial Emperor!"
" Wangsun?"
Su Hang frowned slightly.
Wangsun is the Imperial Crown's chief steward and god of wealth.
Holding the financial power of the Imperial Crown, they can freely transfer and dispose of funds below one million, while the transfer of funds above one million requires reporting to the captain or the three vice captains for approval!
"What the hell are you talking about?" Hu Xiao's eyes widened like copper bells. "Would Wangsun bewitch you into seizing the Imperial Emperor?"
"Not a single word of truth comes out of your mouth, it seems the beating wasn't lenient!" Huyan Lan rolled up his sleeves and said viciously, "Of all people to frame, you had to frame Shen Monkey · Wangsun! Who doesn't know he's loyal to the Imperial Emperor?"
Su Hang's eyes flickered.
He wasn't surprised by Hu Xiao Huyan Lan's agitated reaction.
Wangsun was one of the first people to join the Imperial Crown Imperial Crown and also its first core member. However, because his gaming skills were average and he was not good at speaking, he did not obtain the high-ranking positions of vice-captain and captain.
It wasn't until the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord rebelled and left the team, and the core members took over their positions in turn, that Wangsun was able to become the leader of the Imperial Crown Team.
But the Wangsun's loyalty is as clear as day. While others merely talk about loyalty, he silently takes concrete actions to prove it.
"Could it be that because I appointed Silver Dragon as the Captain of the Imperial Crown, the Wangsun resentment and thus instigated Silver Dragon to seize power prematurely?"
Su Hang frowned deeply. "But that doesn't make sense either. I spoke with him before, and he politely declined to serve as the second-generation Captain of the Imperial Crown, citing his physical disability."
Wangsun revealed that he was a professional motorcycle racer in his early years. An accident left him with a single arm and a level three disability. He believes that regardless of his gaming skills, the Captain of the Imperial Crown should at least be a "complete person."
Otherwise, appearing in public in the future would damage the image of the Imperial Crown.
"It was that Wangsun who bewitched me!"
Yin Long blushed and his neck thickened, insisting that he was Wangsun.
"I think you've been eating too many red beans and you're lovesick!"
"Wait a minute before you act!" Su Hang stopped him, his voice deep. "Do you have any evidence to prove that Wangsun instigated you to seize power from the Imperial Emperor?"
Do chat logs count?
"Just mentioning the chat history makes me furious!" Huyan Lan said with deep resentment. "Back then, the vice-captain of the Hundred Demons team, Nurarihyon, came to me and asked if I wanted to rejoin the Hundred Demons Team. I said [no]... scrawls"
"A few days later, Nurarihyon exposed our chat history. Good heavens, it was maliciously pieced together beyond recognition. He swapped my answer to the first question, 'Yes,' and replaced it with 'Would you like to rejoin the Hundred Demons Team?'"
"The subsequent questions were handled in the same way, with maliciously pieced-together chat logs portraying Phoenix as a traitor who betrayed the Imperial Crown!"
Su Hang remained silent.
When the chat logs between Nurarihyon and Phoenix were exposed online, he immediately sought out a Photoshop expert in the industry for verification. Although he learned that it was a malicious splicing, he still expelled Phoenix from the team in accordance with the team rules.
On one hand, Phoenix's private contact with the Hundred Demons Team Nurarihyon violated the team rules, and the evidence of their betrayal is conclusive!
On the other hand, he gave Phoenix a chance to explain publicly, but Phoenix remained silent in the face of criticism from core members.
"Chat logs are not reliable," Su Hang said sharply. "Are you sure the person you're chatting with is Wangsun?"
"This..." Yin Long hesitated for a moment before saying, " Wangsun contacted me using a secondary account, but both the unchanging automated voice and his text chat habits were exactly the same as Wangsun's!"
"Most importantly, he knows many things that only core members of the Imperial Crown know, and he even reminds me of internal meeting times."
"So I'm sure he's Wangsun!"
Hu Xiao Huyan Lan was stunned on the spot.
"Damn it, they even managed to notify Silver Dragon of internal meeting times." Hu Xiao said, half-believing, half-doubting, "Could the person who instigated Silver Dragon to seize Imperial Emperor really be Wangsun?"
Huyan Lan Yanlan frowned and said slowly, "It can't be Wangsun. The Imperial Emperor once told me that no one could betray him except Wangsun. He is a trustworthy person."
Hu Xiao said with a dark face, "Then Silver Dragon is lying."
Yin Long was about to retort.
" The Wangsun did not betray the Imperial Emperor, and the Silver Dragon did not lie!"
Everyone turned to look at Su Hang.
"What's the meaning?"
Su Hang pondered for a moment and said, " Wangsun is the Imperial Emperor's capable Gan. Just as Huyan Lan said, no one could betray the Imperial Emperor, and Wangsun would never betray him. Silver Dragon was not lying either; it was indeed Wangsun who instigated him to seize power."
Everyone was completely confused.
Hu Xiao scratched the back of his head.
"Brother Su, you've confused me. On one hand, you say that Wangsun did not betray the Imperial Emperor, but on the other hand, you conclude that Wangsun bewitched the Silver Dragon. So, did Wangsun betray the Imperial Emperor and bewitch the Silver Dragon to seize power?"
Su Hang smiled and said, "It's simple. What if someone had used a fake account to impersonate the Wangsun and secretly contacted and misled the Silver Dragon?"
Everyone stood there, stunned.
Hu Xiao frowned. "If someone is deliberately impersonating Wangsun, how would they know about the affairs of the Imperial Crown's upper echelons, and even accurately state the time of their meetings?"
Su Hang's eyes flashed sharply. "There's only one truth!"
