The following night.
Residential buildings near Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.
"It is now certain that Xiang Yang is an undercover agent planted by the Emperor within the Imperial Emperor Imperial Crown, and his true purpose is to investigate the mastermind behind the Silver Dragon's usurpation of power."
Lin Ying leaned back in her gaming chair, holding a scrambled Rubik's Cube in her hand, her eyes gleaming with a maturity and strategy beyond her years.
" Xiang Yang is proficient in psychology and reasoning; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to find out that I am the real culprit who instigated the incident."
Lin Ying solved a 4x4 Rubik's Cube, "But I really didn't expect Xiang Yang to come and investigate my identity offline."
Not long ago, core members of the journalism club sent him photos of a dinner party. They had run into Zhou Keyu, a short drama actor who played the Imperial Emperor, at their school. The latter was not only approachable but also treated them to a big meal.
" Xiang Yang's real identity is undoubtedly Zhou Keyu. As for why he visited Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, he most likely discovered my close connection with the Hundred Demons Team, and may even have found out that my true identity is Hundred Demons Nurarihyon."
Lin Ying quickly solved the fourth-order Rubik's Cube, muttering to herself, "My supposedly flawless disguise has been completely seen through."
As long as Zhou Keyu contacts the Imperial Emperor and reports all the investigation results, the Imperial Emperor will surely follow the example of banishing the Three Champion Emperors back then and severely banish Noon Horse · Jueying, that Hundred Demons Nurarihyon who bewitched the Silver Dragon to seize power!
"Is nearly nine years of planning going to be ruined in an instant?"
Lin Ying's hand speed exploded, and the fourth-order Rubik's Cube was instantly solved. A slightly wicked smile appeared on his lips. "How is this possible? I haven't even played my ultimate trump card yet— the Imperial Emperor is the Exalted Emperor."
Some time ago, I visited my senior Su Hang and learned his true identity as a member of the Exalted Emperor. When I visited his live-streaming bedroom, I inadvertently saw an exquisite ring box on top of the wardrobe.
As a core member of the Imperial Crown, Jueying immediately recognized it as the ring box containing the Imperial Ring. After all, it was a symbolic gift that the twelve core members had raised funds to give to the Imperial Emperor.
"Without a doubt, Exalted Emperor is the Imperial Emperor!"
Lin Ying put down the 4x4 Rubik's Cube and looked at the table.
There is a chess set that has been played for ten years.
At this moment, under the command of the White King [ Imperial Emperor ].
The twelve chess pieces [ Silver Dragon ][ Phoenix ][ Mountain Lord ][ Huranlang ][ Yujingzi ][ Jueying ][ Wangsun ][ Yuejing ][ Shejun ][ Hanlu ][ Hai Pig ][ Chou Ox ] have all invaded the black camp.
The black pieces were completely wiped out, leaving only the black king piece [ Shura ].
" Your Imperial Emperor, Your Imperial Emperor, this time, it is not the betrayal of the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord, nor is it the betrayal of me, Jueying."
Lin Ying picked up the white king piece [ Imperial Emperor ] and swapped its position with the black king piece [ Shura ]. In an instant, the twelve white pieces changed their target from Shura to Imperial Emperor.
"It was—the betrayal of the entire Imperial Crown team!"
Buzzing.
The desktop phone emitted a notification tone for a high-level meeting at Imperial Crown.
Lin Ying's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Good show~ Let's begin!"
Group chat of core members of Imperial Crown.
Wangsun microphone fan whirred, and a completely emotionless voice rang out.
" Yuejing is now online, so I hereby announce that the third Imperial Crown high-level meeting will be held in the Imperial Crown core members' group chat to vote on whether to wage war against the Three Champion Emperors."
Sudden!
Just then, Hanlu's microphone flashed, and he solemnly said, " Your Wangsun, and all those in the Imperial Crown, I feel it is necessary to inform you of something that is outrageous to both gods and men."
Everyone was stunned.
Shejun asked, puzzled, "What is it?"
Suppressing his anger, Hanlu said, "Some of our Imperial Crown members have betrayed the Imperial Emperor!"
Everyone was startled.
Jueying was exasperated. " Hanlu, I told you not to talk nonsense. Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity. Don't frame any core member without solid evidence."
"I'm sorry, Jueying." Hanlu gritted his teeth in anger. "I knew I didn't have the patience to wait for your investigation results. Tonight, I must find the traitor who betrayed the Imperial Emperor!"
Jueying was extremely anxious. " Wangsun, quickly mute Hanlu's microphone! Don't listen to his nonsense!"
Wangsun's voice rarely showed emotion, " Hanlu, can you take responsibility for the words you've said?"
Hanlu blurted out, "Yes!"
Wangsun said sternly, "Very well, then tell me, which of us has betrayed the Imperial Emperor?"
Hanlu's words were filled with anger. " The Shejun has betrayed the Imperial Emperor!"
"Me?" Shejun was taken aback.
Yujingzi asked in confusion, "How could Shejun betray Captain Imperial Emperor?"
"The betrayal of the Shejun is a hundred times more thorough than the betrayal of the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord back then!" Hanlu took a deep breath. " The Shejun abandoned the Imperial Crown's principles of upholding justice; he was never truly loyal to the Imperial Emperor Imperial Crown."
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
The Shejun laughed in fury, his voice hoarse, " Hanlu! Stop twisting the truth and making baseless accusations! You say I betrayed the Imperial Emperor? Produce some evidence!"
"Don't be in such a hurry," Hanlu sneered. "You've been infiltrating our Imperial Crown's upper echelons for nine years, what's the rush?"
Upon hearing the word "undercover agent, "Shejun was speechless, because he was indeed an undercover agent who had infiltrated overseas fraud gangs for many years, assisting the police in dismantling overseas telecom fraud parks.
Everyone was incredulous.
"Is the Shejun an undercover agent?"
" Shejun! Is what Hanlu said true?"
"Are you an undercover agent, Shejun?!"
Faced with the crowd's relentless questioning, Shejun turned pale and stammered, "I... I'm an undercover agent, but I'm not..."
"See!" Hanlu interrupted abruptly, speaking coldly and sternly, "The mole has already jumped out on his own. He Shejun is the mole planted by the Hundred Demons Team in the upper echelons of our Imperial Crown!"
"What?"
Not only was the Wangsun stunned.
Yujingzi, Huranlang, and the others were all stunned.
The Hundred Demons are the Imperial Crown's mortal enemies, just like evil and justice can never coexist peacefully. Similarly, as long as the Hundred Demons exist, they will always be the Imperial Crown's number one enemy!
What makes you think I'm an undercover agent sent by the Hundred Demons?
Shejun panicked; he was genuinely terrified.
It's important to know that back then, Phoenix only had private contact with the Hundred Demons Team, yet Imperial Emperor banished them from the Imperial Crown Team on the grounds of betrayal.
If he is proven to be a spy for the Hundred Demons, the punishment he will receive will not be as simple as being expelled from the team, but rather a complete and utter disgrace.
Not only will he be infamous in the King of Glory community, but his real identity will also be exposed, impacting his work in the anti-fraud industry and tarnishing the police badge he once wore!
"Even now, you still want to argue!" Hanlu cursed the traitorous rat, "You filthy rat who betrayed the Imperial Crown, the Captain Imperial Emperor must have been blind to choose you as a core member of the Imperial Crown."
"Stop talking, Hanlu!" Jueying said, heartbroken. "The rumors you got may be unreliable, but there's no concrete evidence to prove that Shejun is Nurarihyon, the chief vice-captain of the Hundred Demons."
The moment the words "Nurarihyon" were uttered, the entire group fell silent.
" Hundred Demons Nurarihyon?"
Shejun looked completely bewildered, pointing to his own face, "Me?"
