At this moment, the Imperial Crown fan section was in an uproar.
"Holy crap? All the core members have taken off their masks!"
" Yugong Nishang? Brothers, isn't Yuejing the young master of the Yugong Family in Kyoto? He recently went live across the internet and asked Huaxia netizens for help in supporting his sister, the Whale Overlord Liuli?"
"I feel like I've seen Shejun somewhere before," Wori thought. "He's been on CCTV's ' Legal Report' program; he was an undercover police officer in a telecom fraud industrial park in Myanmar."
" Wangsun's face looks so familiar! Holy crap, isn't he that legendary racer? The one who won the Jiangsu leg of the 2014 National Motorcycle Championship, almost making it to the national championship!"
"Hey guys, why does Chou Ox look so much like Fly from Wolves?"
"That's Fly!"
In the stands of the Imperial Crown Wolves, Xiaopang Fatty's hamburger and cola fell to the ground with a thud. His eyes widened, his chubby cheeks trembled, and he stammered incoherently, "Demon... Yaodao, is that Imperial Crown Chou Ox · Babaili Brother Niu?"
"It really is Brother Niu." Yao Dao's Yaodao clattered to the ground, his mind blank. "Holy crap, Brother Niu is the Imperial Crown's Chou Ox?"
The Wolves were utterly shocked.
"No wonder we haven't seen Brother Niu since Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor. Turns out he's the Chou Ox of the Imperial Crown, and he's been sitting in the core member seat of the Imperial Crown."
" Brother Niu is a ruthless guy. He's more secretive than anyone else. But then again, Chou Ox and Feiniu, only one character different. How come I never thought they were the same person before?"
"But something's off about Brother Niu. I just don't feel like he's the same Brother Niu we know."
At this moment, on the stage, Lin Ying's face was ashen. All the core members of the Imperial Crown had come up on stage and even removed their masks in front of the Imperial Emperor, showing their true selves. This action was enough to illustrate a serious problem.
The eight core members of the Imperial Crown, like the Three Champion Emperors, were merely feigning submission to him; in Nurarihyon, they remained loyal to the Imperial Emperor.
This can be seen from the death threat Hanlu just made.
Lin Ying's face was dark. Holding the microphone, she questioned sharply, "Leaders of the Imperial Alliance, do you know that by siding with the traitorous Imperial Emperor, you are betraying the Imperial Crown?"
"Who do you think you are, Nurarihyon?" Yuejing raised her fair chin and retorted, "What right do you have to accuse us of betraying the Imperial Crown?"
"I'm not qualified?"
Lin Ying glared angrily at the Imperial Crown members, raising her voice, "Until the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor competition ends, I, Nurarihyon, am still the Captain of the Imperial Crown, and I still have the right to expel traitors from the team and demand payment of breach of contract penalties!"
The Yuejing smiled and said, "No need for you to trouble yourself, we will leave the team ourselves."
Lin Ying was stunned. "What?"
Yuejing immediately raised her arm and said, " Yuejing, leader of the Mao Rabbit Alliance, withdraws from the Imperial Crown Team immediately."
With murderous intent in his eyes, the Great Tengu raised his hand and declared, " Hanlu, leader of the Xu Dog Alliance, shall immediately withdraw from the Imperial Crown Team."
Huranlang coldly raised his hand. " Huranlang, leader of the Wei Sheep Alliance, withdraws from the Imperial Crown Team immediately."
Yujingzi raised his hand, filled with hatred. " Yujingzi, leader of the Si She Alliance, withdraw from the Imperial Crown Team immediately!"
Wangsun raised his hand emotionlessly, " Wangsun, leader of the Shen Monkey Alliance, withdraws from the Imperial Crown Team immediately!"
Shejun coldly raised his hand, his voice hoarse, and said, " Shejun, leader of the Zi Rat Alliance, withdraws from the Imperial Crown Team immediately."
Ganglie glared angrily and raised his hand, saying, " Ganglie, leader of the Hai Pig Alliance, withdraws from the Imperial Crown Team immediately."
Baili proudly raised his hand, " Baili, leader of the Chou Ox Alliance, withdraws from the Imperial Crown Team immediately."
Lin Ying felt as if struck by lightning. His face turned pale, and he staggered back two steps before regaining his balance. His eyes were bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently. "You bunch of bastards! You actually betrayed the Imperial Crown for the sake of the Imperial Emperor! You betrayed the Captain of the Imperial Crown!"
"We have never been loyal to you, so how can you talk about betrayal?" Yuejing stood behind the Imperial Emperor and said, "From beginning to end, we have only been loyal to the Imperial Emperor, and we have only recognized the Imperial Emperor as the Captain of the Imperial Crown."
"That's right."
The core members of the Imperial Crown stood behind the Imperial Emperor, their eleven sharp gazes like eleven blades, piercing deeply into Lin Ying's heart.
Lin Ying's heart clenched violently, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Painful memories surfaced. Back then, the Hundred Demons Team was in the same state as now, with all the core members, including Captain Shura, leaving him Nurarihyon.
"Even now, you still don't understand that Imperial Emperor has lost is not just the position of Captain of the Imperial Crown, but the hearts of hundreds of millions of Imperial Crown fans."
Whether Imperial Emperor has lost the hearts of Imperial Crown fans is not for you to decide, but for every Imperial Crown fan to decide!
The Yuejing picked up the microphone and announced loudly, "The 50,000 Imperial Crown fans here today represent the Imperial Emperor founded the righteous Imperial Crown with loyalty, but now it has been completely overthrown by Nurarihyon and turned into an evil Imperial Crown that prioritizes profit above all else."
" The Imperial Emperor established the righteous Sovereign Dominion with loyalty. Some time ago, during a cross-border rescue of Sovereign Dominion's chief vice-captain, Liuli, Liuli swore absolute loyalty to the Imperial Emperor, and the Imperial Emperor responded with his life to the vice-captain's absolute loyalty."
"Just like ten years ago when we saved the Three Champion Emperors from Nurarihyon, as long as you are loyal to the Imperial Emperor, the Imperial Emperor will risk everything to protect you, even your life, even your death!"
The Imperial Crown at the scene were deeply moved.
Yuejing emotion, " The Imperial Emperor's desire to destroy the Imperial Crown was never the righteous Imperial Crown, but the evil Imperial Crown currently in power, which is controlled by Nurarihyon. Isn't Sovereign Dominion Yu also the embodiment of the righteous Imperial Crown?"
"If you all prefer the evil Imperial Crown ruled by Nurarihyon, then continue to sit in your seats and support him wholeheartedly!"
The Yuejing's voice suddenly rose in intensity, "But if everyone prefers the righteous Imperial Crown Sovereign Dominion by the Imperial Emperor, then please stand up and come to the East Side Sovereign Dominion fan section to support the Imperial Emperor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the western section of the Imperial Crown fan section fell into dead silence.
After a long while, no one moved.
"No wonder you were once the head of the Imperial Crown Propaganda Department; you're a master at distorting the truth and twisting concepts." Lin Ying clapped her hands, her eyes bloodshot. "But Imperial Crown's fans have discerning eyes; how could they be swayed by your few words?"
A barely perceptible look of disappointment flashed in Yuejing's eyes. She had thought that the Imperial Crown fans would suddenly realize the truth, but who would have thought that they were so deeply influenced by Nurarihyon that they couldn't change their minds at all.
" Your Imperial Emperor, look behind you. Besides the eleven core members of the Imperial Crown who are loyal to you, who else is there?" Lin Ying laughed maniacally. "And look behind me, fifty thousand Imperial Crown fans, representing hundreds of millions of Imperial Crown fans."
"You did win the bet, and you will reclaim the Imperial Crown as you wish. But you, who attempted to destroy the Imperial Crown with Sovereign Dominion, and who betrayed hundreds of millions of Imperial Crown fans, can you regain control of the Imperial Crown and become its Captain of the Imperial Crown?"
"No way."
Lin Ying, her eyes red with madness, cried out, "And I, Nurarihyon, have the support of hundreds of millions of Imperial Crown fans. I was able to rebuild Imperial Crown. Tonight I failed, but I will make a comeback. Then I will put your Imperial Emperor, and the eleven core members who are loyal to you, to trial!"
Su Hang remained expressionless. Behind him, the eleven core members of Imperial Crown showed a range of emotions: some were indignant, some were glaring angrily, some were filled with murderous intent, but most were experiencing a complex mix of feelings.
Lin Ying was about to continue her taunts.
From the west side of the Imperial Crown fan section, a crisp sound of a flag snapping rang out.
