The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Not just that.

The video also includes testimony from the human side; nearly everyone in the tavern believes that the battle was not solely due to the weather or General Hamoldon's divine weaponry but more because of supernatural assistance.

This footage was sent back to the Demon City through the Teleportation Array of the Demon King Management Department, the entire video was intact and it could be verified that no parts had been modified.

Earlier, Lumier's identity had already been reported at the Demon King's debriefing meeting as one of the achievements of the "Corrupted Campbell Duchy," and the chain of evidence could be considered complete.

Some of the Judgers' faces grew increasingly unsightly, while others stared at the Crystal Ball with an elusive gaze, trying to discern more details from the mist-like veil.

"There is no doubt... General Sebes has betrayed the Demon God."

"The only uncertainty is whether he traded with the human officers or sold his soul to the humans' false god."

"I think it makes no difference, it's betrayal! He has failed the Extraordinary Power bestowed upon him by the Demon God! We should immediately arrest him and shatter his soul!" A Judger born of Horror Demon gritted his teeth in hatred, emitting an angry low growl from his throat.

As their superior, the senior Judger draped in a dark red robe stood silently, seeming to be pondering something.

After a moment, he spoke up.

"From Duke's testimony and Lumier's footage, there is no doubt that General Sebes is suspected of major betrayal. Next, we just need to find traces of the cursed erosion on this goblin's body, and the truth should come to light."

Luo Yan nodded gently: "Exactly."

Any Magic will leave traces, and for the experts in the Truth Department, they have ten thousand ways to extract every secret from this goblin's body.

They are experts in this Domain.

The Minister of Religion, Gaolige Sorren, in charge of the Truth Department, is a Demigod Witch Demon whose strength is not inferior to Principal Allen; the long ages have endowed him with unparalleled knowledge.

The senior Judger paused for a moment and continued, speaking slowly.

"This can prove part of your accusations, however, merely because General Sebes was once Zakro Dragon's subordinate, is not sufficient to prove that the Dragon family is also involved. After all, Zakro retired a long time ago, passing the position of Family Head to Reggie Dragon a century ago."

Luo Yan chuckled slightly, his expression calm and confident: "Zakro has not relinquished his power; he has always been controlling everything behind the scenes, which is no secret in the upper echelons of the Demon City, and General Sebes is following his orders."

These facts he actually learned at Mia's birthday banquet.

Not just that.

He also verified a long-suspected conjecture—

There is no Demon in Hell issuing orders by the name "Demon God Bayele," rather, it's a group of families skeptical of the Demon God ruling over the majority of Demons who truly believe in the Demon God, in the name of the Demon God.

Among them, there are disputes, cooperation, times when interests align, and times when interests conflict. In this dynamic balance, they each make their own decisions, eventually reflecting on the grand scale of Hell as the will of Demon God Bayele.

As for the Cabinet, Parliament, and departments… those are mere ruling tools.

They have rules on the surface.

And also beneath the water.

In other words—

For an oversight department like the Truth Department, when it comes to core rights, it is impossible for them to be absolutely impartial.

Only relatively.

"Do you have evidence?" The senior Judger's eyes moved slightly, his gaze in the pupils unpredictable.

He seemed to be probing, but the probing wasn't too obvious.

Luo Yan put away his smile, his expression still calm: "I do, but I need some time."

He paused slightly here and looked at the senior Judger in front of him.

"Before I manage to organize the evidence, I hope you can hold your troops back, and temporarily don't alarm General Sebes."

The Judger draped in a dark red robe pondered for a moment, finally nodding: "Alright, but don't make us wait too long."

Luo Yan's face showed a smile.

"Thank you for understanding."

The senior Judger said nothing further, merely casting his gaze on the nearby Crystal Ball.

That was the footage taken by Lumier, the servant of the Demon King.

At this moment, he suddenly asked again.

"In the Crystal Ball, two captives appeared, but you only brought one... where is the other?"

Luo Yan smiled lightly, his tone indifferent: "At Black Wind Castle."

The Judger frowned slightly: "Why did you separate them?"

Luo Yan's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket, how's that for a reason?"

The senior Judger, upon hearing this, gazed at Luo Yan for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Understood."

...

As night fell, crimson lava churned in the darkness, illuminating the somber outline of the Dragon Manor.

Inside the manor's council hall, the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

Kamu Dragon sat at the round table, clasping a sealed letter tightly with both hands, the flickering candlelight reflecting his ghastly complexion and the pale knuckles exposing his inner shock and anger.

"... I didn't expect the Demon King to be so cunning!"

His voice was low, his eyes seeming to blaze with fire.

The sealed letter was secretly sent by the Dragon family's informants in the Truth Department.
