The top-floor monitoring room of the Yugong Tower.
" Xue Ji, it's just a minor fracture, no need for all that trouble." Yugong Youjing his hand, refusing Xue Ji's request to change her dressing.
"If Your Highness refuses to change the medicine, I will immediately commit suicide on the spot." Xue Ji's eyes were red, and she knelt on the ground, wishing she could take away Yugong Youjing's pain.
"Alright, alright."
Yugong Youjing had no choice but to let the other party do as they pleased.
" Great Tengu, who hurt the team leader like this?"
Outside the door, a young boy dressed in a blue kimono with two swords at his waist tilted his head and asked.
Great Tengu hesitated for a moment, then covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "[ Zashiki ], is it a guy named Exalted Emperor?"
[ Zashiki ] frowned slightly, "Is that the Captain of Sovereign Dominion, Exalted Emperor, who just won the title of Supreme King Title in the Clash of Kings?"
"Yes, that's him! No, wait!" The Great Tengu looked surprised, his gaze re-examining Zashiki. "You play King of Glory too?"
"Nonsense, I'm a ten-year veteran of King of Glory, the strongest jungler in the Huaxia server." Zashiki patted his chest proudly and said cutely, "Back then, it was the team leader who got me hooked on King of Glory of Glory."
"Wait a minute, are you the vice-captain of the Hundred Demons [ Zashiki-warashi ]?"
"Hold head high."
The Great Tengu's lips twitched violently. "I knew it."
Like a curious child, the Zashiki, "What do you know?"
Great Tengu pressed Zashiki's shoulder, his face serious, and said, " Zashiki, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you anymore. Just tell me the truth: how many people in our [ Hundred Demons Night Parade Group ] are actually members of the King of Glory of Hundred Demons Team?"
"All of them," Zashiki said with a strange look. "The predecessor of the Hyakki Yagyō (Hundred Demons Night Parade Group was the 100 elite members of the former King of Glory Hundred Demons Team. Aren't you one of them?"
Great Tengu felt as if the sky had fallen. His brothers and sisters were all core members of the Hundred Demons, while he was the only one among the core members of the Imperial Crown. What was this called? Infiltrating enemy territory alone to fight a battle?
"Oh, by the way, [ Hundred Demons, the chief vice-captain of the Hyakki Yagyō (Nurarihyon)] isn't a member of our Hundred Demons Night Parade Group," Zashiki said, Nurarihyon his Nurarihyon. "Nobody's ever seen him. I remember the group leader mentioning him briefly; Huaxia is supposedly Chinese."
You've certainly never seen Nurarihyon.
Because Nurarihyon's true identity is [ Zi Rat · Shejun ], one of the nine core members of the Imperial Crown, who has been lurking in our Imperial Crown for nine years, if it weren't for Xue Ji's help in deduction and analysis, I, Xu Dog · Hanlu, would still be kept in the dark.
These were the thoughts in the Great Tengu's mind, which he naturally didn't voice aloud.
"Fortunately, we secured Jueying's support at the crucial moment; otherwise, if Nurarihyon had succeeded in his scheme to wage war against the Three Champion Emperors, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Zashiki suddenly asked with great interest, " Great Tengu, do you want to avenge the group leader?"
The Great Tengu's heart raced as he asked, "To fight the Imperial Emperor?"
"What do you mean?" Zashiki frowned. "Are you referring to the King of Glory's Captain of the Imperial Crown, Imperial Emperor?"
The Great Tengu suddenly realized he had misunderstood the other party's meaning and quickly corrected himself, saying, "Gan Exalted Emperor?"
The Zashiki-warashi nodded, his smile seemingly harmless. "As long as you reimburse me for my round-trip airfare to Huaxia, accommodation, travel expenses... plus a reward of 1 yen, I'll bring you Exalted Emperor's head."
"Hiss--"
Great Tengu shuddered; he had no doubt that Zashiki's words were exaggerated in any way.
If Xue Ji, a former hardened criminal, was a slayer of a hundred men, then the adorable little boy Zashiki before us is a slayer of a thousand men.
After all, his former profession was a prison executioner.
"That won't be necessary. Lord Youjing has already killed Exalted Emperor."
Zashiki asked in a daze, "Killed him?"
The Great Tengu's expression was solemn as he whispered, " Exalted Emperor's martial prowess far exceeded Lord Youjing's expectations, ultimately forcing Lord Youjing to use the ultimate technique of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki, to kill him!"
" Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki?"
The Zashiki's mouth is shaped like an "O".
Yugong Youjing is a follower of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki, and in Japan history, only two swordsmen can use the ultimate technique, Himura Kenshin from 100 years ago.
The other is [ Yugong Youjing ], 100 years later.
Zashiki sighed, "No matter how powerful the opponent, facing the leader's Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki only leads to death. To become the first innocent soul under the leader's sword is a kind of honor for that Exalted Emperor."
Over there, Xue Ji changed Yugong Youjing's bandages.
"Your Highness, are there any security risks involved in allowing Young Master Nishang Chang to visit the Lizard Liuli Li?"
" Liuli's weakness is Nishang."
Yugong Youjing put on his coat, picked up his phone, and said, "Only when she sees Nishang will Liuli feel at ease waiting for the wedding. Besides, with 24/7 surveillance and electronic tracking leg irons, we can monitor Liuli's movements in real time."
"There won't be any problems."
"That's good."
Xue Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn't worried about Yugong Liuli's safety, but rather that if the latter fled to Huaxia again, Prince Youjing would inevitably lead another team to Huaxia to capture her.
If they were to encounter a troublesome opponent like Exalted Emperor, it would inevitably be another fierce battle of equal strength, and she did not want to see Youjing seriously injured.
Why isn't this being reported on the Chinese internet?
Yugong Youjing scrolled through his phone screen, frowning as he said, " Exalted Emperor is a super player with millions of followers and a huge influence in the King of Glory community. The news of his tragic murder should be trending on social media. Why isn't there a single trending topic about him?"
"Could it be that the police are deliberately suppressing and concealing the news?"
After much deliberation, Yugong Youjing still believed that the Huaxia police had deliberately concealed and blocked the news from media platforms.
After all, in Huaxia, every murder case is solved! Not to mention Exalted Emperor, a highly influential and well-known online figure. Under pressure from public opinion, the Huaxia police will only solve the case faster, not slower!
" The Huaxia police will be able to identify me as a criminal suspect very quickly."
Yugong Youjing held his chin up, because the killing of Exalted Emperor was a spur-of-the-moment act, a crime of passion, and there was no attempt to destroy the body. As long as the Huaxia police checked the surveillance footage along the way and the hotel check-in information, it would be easy to solve the problem.
He will naturally be identified as the murderer!
"However, Huaxia and Japan have not signed an extradition treaty, so I don't need to worry about my safety."
Extradition treaties are signed between countries. Just like if he murdered Exalted Emperor in Huaxia and returned to Japan, if the Huaxia police have solid evidence, they can apply to the Japan police to have him arrested and brought back to Huaxia for trial.
Without an extradition treaty, it is not possible.
"The likely outcome was that I was banned from entering Huaxia. To quell public opinion, the Huaxia police issued a global arrest warrant and lodged a formal protest with the Kyoto government through diplomatic channels, demanding my release. However, as time went on, nothing came of it."
Thinking of this, Yugong Youjing suddenly felt a pang of regret. He regretted that he should not have killed Exalted Emperor, but instead should have spared Exalted Emperor's life, taken him back to Kyoto, and kept him in the sword hall as a sparring partner.
"It's a pity that the Exalted Emperor such excellent sparring partners."
Yugong Youjing, still savoring last night's epic battle, said with lingering excitement, "If only Exalted Emperor were still alive."
