The likelihood of uncovering all Heavenly Demons is actually quite small.

After all, individuals have different personalities, and their ability to handle situations varies, such as intimidation just now. Some can’t help but reveal themselves, while others do not.

The fact that Ye Lin is a spy is actually known intelligence early on. Old Liu kept this intel for a crucial moment, and it turns out it was used at just that time.

Ali indeed hasn’t used its ability even once, merely bluffing.

The first time it dealt heavily with the traitor who defected to the Four Heavenly King’s Army, Chen Qing did not hesitate to use force to intimidate them, though everything seemed contradictory, in a crisis, not everyone can remain calm.

The second choice was Ye Lin. He is highly positioned, very representative, and his channels are extremely secretive. Old Liu only noticed something wrong with him by chance. Using this intel now sets an example to deter others. Even if it can’t directly bluff out everybody, it might reveal most.

But unexpectedly, he confessed, which makes things easier.

However, the act still has to be thorough.

Chen Qing sneered, "Do you think we need your confession? Directly reading your memory would be more reliable, wouldn’t it?"

"Not reliable!" Ye Lin panicked, "Elder Long planted something inside my body just to capture her, if you use abilities on me, the Thousand-Faced Fox will definitely have problems!"

"Since you have such abilities, why mention it? Wouldn’t it be better to wait for Ali to fall into the trap?" Chen Qing looked incredulous.

"I want to live!!" Ye Lin said fiercely, "Once I die, I can’t live again, I don’t want to die. Elder Long is a madman who dares to use anything, but I am different, I was forced, I also don’t want to betray humanity, but I... I really..."

"Fine!" Chen Qing nodded directly, "First, tell me who they are, I warn you, I also have some intel on this, if you fail to say even one, whether you know it or not, I will kill you!"

"No, I won’t!" Ye Lin quickly said, "The Heavenly Demons have mutual sensing, allowing them to secretly communicate. This is a special gift before coming, the price is sharing each other’s location, possibly exposing together; this was set from the start."

Chen Qing nodded at his words, "Then speak."

Ye Lin did not hesitate to reveal all the names, those mentioned glared at him with jet-black eyes, filled with ruthless resentment.

"You traitor!!" Those Heavenly Demons spoke in an incredibly eerie yet extremely faint voice, deafeningly dire, like a drumbeat in the heart.

"You will surely die miserably, your Spiritual Body will be made into a vessel by our kind, tortured out of the last bit of Spiritual Power, you will never reincarnate, no... it should be your family that will suffer this fate, our kind will definitely make you pay!"

This voice filled with malice made Ye Lin shudder involuntarily, but he continued to recite the remaining names, having decided to fight to the death this time, regardless of Chen Qing’s odds, he resolved to take action.

As for eternal fate, he thought of granting permissions to shut this wretched place down in Digital City!

With this thought, he hesitated no longer.

He revealed all the names.

Following the full exposure, Chen Qing decisively killed those whose names were mentioned.

Even if some feigned innocence, death would immediately reveal Heavenly Demon traits. There were fourteen in total, even Ali was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Heavenly Demons had infiltrated to such an extent, even high-level top tier of Digital City had been brainwashed into Vassals of the Heavenly Demons, distant things millions of light years away. If fully transported here, this world would be utterly defenseless.

But then again, their scale is a universe, whereas ours is a planet.

Chen Qing glanced at Old Liu, who nodded slightly.

Old Liu secretly held more intel, and obviously, none of it was excluded from Ye Lin’s confession, proving indeed, Heavenly Demons sensed each other without omission.

Chen Qing nodded, smiling, besides still detaining Ye Lin, he directly revoked the Rune restraints on others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don’t panic. It truly cannot be helped restraining you like this. The situation is urgent, and you wouldn’t want such monsters infiltrating Digital City, right?"

All members of Congress felt lingering fears, patting their chests and nodding.

Fourteen people... and not of low status, if they return, they could even directly authorize shutting down the world, truly unexpected the Federation had been penetrated to such depth. That so-called Elder Long is likely one of the rumored orchestrators?

These congressional members more or less knew something.

Just didn’t expect such madness from the opponent!

"Mister Chen, having such an incident, it’s also the Federation’s responsibility. Now, as you said, the urgent task is to quickly close the channel." One congress member spoke directly, "Please, sir, contact the higher-ups, we grant immediate authorization, let them directly close the channel."

"Can authority be granted verbally?" Chen Qing frowned.

"No..." All congressional members shook their heads, "It must be done as a National Congress Member, with over thirteen people, certified together by name, meaning we must return."

"I see..." Chen Qing sighed, then said, "Time is pressing, if so, let’s set off now."

All congressional members nodded, Chen Qing directly lifted Rune restraints, then turned to Ziyue, "Activate the Spatial Array, return directly to Jiangnan, inform them to activate Digital City’s channel!"

Ziyue nodded, complex Runes forming seals in her hands, Spatial Runes instantly glowing, a massive Spatial Array appeared.

Old Liu also looked over, while everyone’s attention was on the Transmission Array, nobody noticed a flicker of icy intent deep in one congress member’s eyes.

Simultaneously, far away, the Prophet smiled slightly.

"Predictably, just as you thought, through your idea, I successfully predicted all their intel, that secretly hidden person will surely act at this crucial time."

Elder Long nodded, "Control that Thousand-Faced Fox, obtain authority from Digital City, there will no longer be shutdown risks, and regarding the Queen losing control, with the Thousand-Faced Fox card, there’s an opportunity, right?"

The Prophet nodded slightly, his Spiritual Ability being of the same level as the Queen.

Once obtaining the Thousand-Faced Fox’s ability, he could control the Queen.

Ali, who can alter memories, represents the best way to control the Queen, and once all this succeeds, the Heavenly Demon World will have complete victory!
