World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2017 - 930: The Traitor Moves! The Double-Faced Person!

Chapter 2017: Chapter 930: The Traitor Moves! The Double-Faced Person!

Two hours after Lanling set the trap!

Inside the Sky Holy Palace, an emergency meeting was convened.

Only four people attended the meeting: the first leader of the Sky Holy Palace, Shi Tian, Ning Wuya, E Yun, and Gu Ban.

"The Double-Faced Person just sent a message, suspecting that the Hell Knight Ashi Luo is in contact with Lanling. It’s still unclear whether the Hell Knight contacted proactively or was contacted," E Yun said. "After Lanling got caught in the Black Hole Vortex, the likelihood of seeking help from the Hell Knight is very high."

The other three people at the meeting didn’t speak, so E Yun continued: "Of course, the Double-Faced Person cannot confirm the authenticity of this intelligence; it could be a trap set by Lanling. Now the Double-Faced Person is asking whether to steal this secret letter to further confirm the situation."

The current situation is very clear: if this intelligence is real, it would be a rare opportunity, as the Dragon Temple has searched almost the entire world without finding the Hell Knight’s trace. If Lanling is meeting with the Hell Knight, it’s the perfect chance for a big capture.

But it could also be false information, a trap set by Lanling, which would expose the Double-Faced Person, the fourth secret weapon of the Dragon Temple. Once exposed, the Double-Faced Person would essentially lose their function.

"The Double-Faced Person reported that roughly a year ago, Lanling suspected there was a high-level traitor around and secretly searched for a while but found nothing," E Yun said. "This time, after being hit by the Black Hole Vortex, he will certainly suspect the existence of a traitor even more and will try to uncover this traitor. Of course, regarding this Black Hole Vortex, there’s a coincidental issue—another person tried to incriminate Lanling using Black Hole Energy, which can precisely distract Lanling."

Ning Wuya said, "Leader Shi Tian and fellow colleagues, only the four of us know the identity of the Double-Faced Person. So now, should we take the risk and activate the Double-Faced Person together and decide?"

E Yun remained silent for a long time before saying, "I feel it’s necessary to initiate because the Double-Faced Person has already completed their main task, successfully implanting the Black Hole Vortex in Lanling. Therefore, the person’s value is not as high as before, so it’s worth the risk. In comparison to capturing the Hell Knight, we think this risk is worth taking."

Gu Ban would never agree with E Yun’s opinion, but eliminating the Hell Knight is the second strategic goal of the Dragon Temple.

"I abstain," Gu Ban said.

Ning Wuya didn’t express an opinion but looked at Shi Tian.

"You decide," Shi Tian still refrained from making any opinion.

Ning Wuya still didn’t speak but looked toward Gu Ban, because on the surface, he was an absolute ally with Gu Ban, so he couldn’t cater to E Yun’s opinion even though his real ally was E Yun.

Thus, Gu Ban had to agree before Ning Wuya could concur.

In the Sky Holy Palace, everything was political, even in a meeting of only four people.

Seeing Ning Wuya looking over, Gu Ban sighed inwardly and said, "I also agree to once again activate the Double-Faced Person to steal the secret letter."

Thus, Ning Wuya raised his hand and said, "I also agree to once again activate the Double-Faced Person to steal the secret letter that the Hell Knight Ashi Luo sent to Lanling."

Thus, the Sky Holy Palace decided to once again activate the top spy of the Dragon Temple, the Double-Faced Person.

E Yun said, "Then I’ll send a signal to the Double-Faced Person."

...

Ning Wuya returned to his Demon Star Pavilion.

Suo Qinqin still sat quietly painting. Ning Wuya walked behind her.

She was painting Suo Lun holding a five-year-old girl, and that girl was Qin Qin herself.

Qin Qin painted very, very well, even surpassing Lanling’s skill because she poured all her emotions into it. The image of Suo Lun seemed to leap off the page, rivaling a photograph.

Moreover, she was using Suo Lun’s sketch portrait technique.

"Nannan, your father no longer looks like that; he has changed quite a bit," Ning Wuya said. "Want someone to draw you a new portrait so you can see your father’s new appearance?"

Qin Qin ignored him, continuing to paint.

She painted one picture every seven days, mostly of her dad, sometimes of Ashi Liren, or even Nai’er and Suo Ningbing.

"Today, someone has planned an action against your father," Ning Wuya said. "I can feel they’re making a mistake, but I didn’t stop it, serving as a test for your father."

Qin Qin stopped painting and perked her ears up.

"You’ve been captured for more than eight years and surprisingly haven’t uttered a single word. Remarkable, truly remarkable..." Ning Wuya said. "Keep painting, clever little girl."

Qin Qin pursed her lips, bit her teeth, and continued painting.

...

Flame Demon City.

Today was Empress Lan SiSi’s turn to attend to the bedchamber.

SiSi helped Lanling bathe and change clothes, and then the two lay naked on the large bed, gently caressing each other.

"Before, you were completely a seductress, charming and enchanting. How have you become so dignified and quiet now?" Lanling asked.

Lan SiSi said, "I used to be a carefree female demon, doing as I pleased. After Du Shu came and unveiled my identity, I had to take on certain responsibilities, so I can’t relax anymore."

SiSi turned over, gently laying on Lanling’s chest, looking at the Black Hole Vortex on his chest, reaching out with her jade hand to touch it.

"Don’t touch it; your skills are too low, you can’t handle it," Lanling said.

"It’s the vortex of Star Magic Power, isn’t it?" Lan SiSi said.

Lanling was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Fewer than four people knew about the Black Hole Vortex on Lanling’s chest: Tang Ren, the Witch Queen, Liren, and Di Nie.

Lan SiSi said, "Don’t forget my energy sense; I can detect it immediately."

Saying so, a tear rolled down and fell onto Lanling’s chest.

Then, more and more tears flowed.

She wanted to say how worried and scared she was, but in the end, she didn’t say it because such words were the privilege of Di Nie and the Witch Queen.

"Husband, I’m really having trouble finding my role. Am I a princess of the Demon Dragon Clan, or your wife?" Lan SiSi said. "They want me to take responsibility, yet they don’t tell me how to do it."

Lanling said, "That faceless one didn’t give you any plan?"

"Not at all. It just wants me to marry the Lord of Yao Xing, the World-Ending Demon Emperor," Lan SiSi said.

Lanling said, "Then just do what you should, like sleeping with me, living every moment well."

For today is the crucial moment to catch the Double-Faced Person spy.

Now, Lanling’s bait has been laid out; will this Double-Faced Person take the bait?

Throughout the process, Lanling and the Mirror Demon King had no communication.

The Mirror Demon King didn’t send any signal.

At three o’clock in the morning, the Mirror Demon King still hadn’t given any signal.

Lanling couldn’t help but gently close his eyes, staying highly alert, but also resting with eyes shut.

...

Tonight, the even more alert Mirror Demon King used its powerful spiritual power to monitor every inch of the secret chamber in the Flame Demon Great Hall.

If anyone entered or left, it would immediately notice, and even if any spiritual power intruded, it would be monitored.

Not only that, but the Witch Queen and Di Nie also monitored the entrance and exit of the secret chamber from afar.

The core high-level members of the Flame Demon Empire stayed awake all night, waiting for the possible appearance of the Double-Faced Person spy.

Since Lanling delivered the secret letter to the chamber, the Mirror Demon King had not missed a second, and the same was true for Di Nie and the Witch Queen.

Time ticked by second by second.

One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, five hours...

Dawn broke!

No movement at all!

No one, no energy, no spiritual power approached the secret chamber, let alone stole any intelligence.

...

The next day, Lanling got up and had breakfast with Lan SiSi, then returned to work at the Flame Demon Great Hall.

"Mirror Demon King, how was it? Why is there no report?" Lanling asked.

The Mirror Demon King said, "Because there was no situation, the spy did not act. No one passed by the chamber, and no spirit or energy approached."

Lanling frowned, could it be that his act didn’t catch this Double-Faced Person’s attention?

No, that’s impossible! This is the fourth experimental product of the Dragon Temple; it would definitely pay attention to the Hell Knight.

Others may not know Ashi Luo is a Hell Knight, but the Dragon Temple knows it very well.

Could it be that this Double-Faced Person is unwilling to take the risk?

Lanling was puzzled, opened one secret door after another, and entered the chamber.

Lanling had made marks on each door; if there were any signs of them being opened, they would certainly be noticed. However, all nine chamber doors showed no signs.

Upon entering the chamber, he opened the crystal stone box.

This crystal stone box was also filled with countless mechanisms, with many energy marks set. If it had been opened, it would definitely be noticed.

However, this crystal stone box showed no signs of being opened.

Opening the crystal stone box, that so-called Ashi Luo’s secret letter still lay there intact, without any signs of being disturbed.

Lanling felt a bit confused, did his trap fail to lure out the Double-Faced Person?

...

At the same time!

The Sky Holy Palace was holding an emergency meeting.

Priest E Yun of the Sky said, "The Double-Faced Person just sent over intelligence; the content of the secret letter is: Master, I request an audience, five days later, outside the world of the Eternal Curse!"

"Who wrote the secret letter?" Ning Wuya asked.

Priest E Yun of the Sky said, "It’s in Ashi Luo’s handwriting. Before approaching Lanling, the Double-Faced Person had researched all possible existing Hell Knights, focusing especially on Ashi Luo because he is the only exposed Hell Knight, Zhi Li is the second, and Lan Tu is the third. The Double-Faced Person confirmed this is definitely Ashi Luo’s handwriting. The Double-Faced Person said that the secret letter also carries the unique energy aura of the Hell Knight, that sort of energy aura from the Netherworld."

Then, E Yun said, "According to the intelligence, Ashi Luo and Lanling will meet four days later. Should we lay down a net near the world of the Eternal Curse and wait?"

Ning Wuya and Priest Gu Ban of the Sky exchanged a glance, then nodded and said, "Agreed, immediately set a net near the world of the Eternal Curse, and strive to catch all Hell Knights when Lanling and Ashi Luo meet."

Ning Wuya said, "E Yun, you will still lead the team, bringing thirty-one Sub-Kings to set up an energy array trap, including six Tomb Priests of the Sky-rank Sub-king level."

E Yun said, "Yes, sir!"

Then, Priest E Yun of the Sky led the top powerhouses of the Dragon Temple secretly into the territory of the Flame Demon Empire, flying towards the world of the Eternal Curse to set a trap to capture potential meeting Hell Knights.
