Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 511

Chapter 511: Chapter 484: Authority (Three more for subscription) Chapter 511: Chapter 484: Authority (Three more for subscription) After sending Han Yuanba away, Lin Rui sat in the main hall of his mansion, silently staring at several photos sent by Wang Tianwu.

He wondered why the East Abyss would engage in astrology.

He clearly had no intention of dealing with this hot potato, yet East Abyss forced him to take it in hand.

This item was somewhat useful to Lin Rui, but not extremely so.

He was already a person of the Abyss, having grasped the concept of Abyss Power, and he was not eager about the idea of conceptualizing Martial Intent.

“What has happened?”

Lin Xi sat beside him, her expression filled with suspicion as she asked, “Brother, how did you get hurt so badly?

And why is the entire city under martial law today?”

Ever since Luo Wangshu brought Lin Rui home, she had been inquiring about the cause and details of the incident.

...

However, due to a gag order from above, Lin Xi was still unclear and suspected it might involve the Outer Heaven Demon and the Demon Sect, given several battles had occurred outside the city and there was also martial law within.

The others present, including Shangguan Tianyi, Ji Xueying, Lu Hanyuan, Wang Sen, and others, also looked at Lin Rui with puzzled eyes.

They were extremely anxious and very curious.

Lin Rui rubbed his forehead, his mind slowly settling.

He couldn’t just hand over this item but would need to devise a strategy with his master.

Even if he were to hand it over, it couldn’t be done directly; he would need to find a scapegoat.

Now, this responsibility could only be shouldered by the Bright Holy Sect.

“I’m alright, my injuries are severe but they don’t harm the essentials.”

Lin Rui shook his head and sighed, “As for the cause and reason behind this incident, I can’t disclose it yet.

Perhaps later, when there’s a chance to leave the city, you will naturally understand.

Right now, I’m not sure whether I’m unlucky or fortunate—”

The people before him were undoubtedly trustworthy, including Lu Hanyuan, who were aware of Lin Rui’s identity as an Alien Walker and even knew he had mastered the Abyss Concept.

Their fates were intertwined with Lin Rui’s, sharing both honor and loss, their lives bound together.

Next, he needed to properly handle this fragment of the Divine Tablet, relying heavily on his friends and family present.

The people present, upon hearing his words, had different thoughts.

Lu Hanyuan speculated that this Director Lin, was certainly not just the simple commander of Spy Detection Bureau Lin Hao; he must hold some astonishing secrets.

Ji Xueying clenched her swords tightly, thinking she must achieve Dragon Transformation as soon as possible!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be much help during her master’s time of peril.

Shangguan Tianyi was filled with regret; she should have followed earlier.

Even if reprimanded by the Third Divine Envoy, she should have stayed close to her master.

She must take this as a lesson and never be careless again.

Moreover, it would be great if teacher Xianyu could also join their master’s side.

With her and her disciple around, no one could threaten their master’s life.

At this moment, Lin Rui received a message from Li Xianglong.

Li Xianglong: Lin Rui, how are you now?

Is your injury severe?

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): I’m alright, protected by the Sky-covering Umbrella, it didn’t hit my vitals.

He was just overwhelmed by a force far beyond his own realm, his body couldn’t withstand it, but he wasn’t directly harmed by the power or Martial Intent of Elder Wan Xin.

Li Xianglong: Good to hear that it didn’t damage the vitals.

This time you were implicated by our actions; consider it a workplace injury.

You can go to our Security Bureau’s special supply center and claim ‘Two Level 8 High-Concentration Recovery Nutrition Solutions’.

Li Xianglong: Also, the Divine Palace’s Great Celestial Master recently used ‘Astrology’ for the Abyss Divine Tablet fragments.

We want to know the details, try to keep an eye on it.

Lin Rui thought to himself that he knew about this, but should he disclose it?

After pondering for a moment, he replied: I just heard about it.

It’s said that the Great Celestial Master not only used Astrology but also attempted to rewind time at the Divine Arrival Palace.

Supposedly, it was interfered by an unknown abyssal force and was unsuccessful.

They divined that these fragments are still within the Great Song’s territory, within ten thousand li of Luojing City.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): However, as far as I know, very few people are aware of this divination result.

Please be cautious, General.

Li Xianglong: Excellent!

This information is very important; I’ll record an SSS+ level merit for you!

At that moment, at a secret base of the Security Bureau, twenty thousand li away, Li Xianglong gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes showing a sharp gleam.

He wished he could gather his troops immediately and root out all the upper echelon of the Demon Sect within 5000 kilometers of Luojing City.

However, to prevent the identity of Lin Rui from being exposed, he needed to change his explanation.

Li Xianglong glanced around at the numerous Ninth Realm representatives of the Federation present: “Elder Wan Xin died 2800 kilometers east of Luojing City.

He probably didn’t have time to send away the fragments of the Abyss Divine Tablet.

We will use this location as the center to start our search, and we must not overlook any suspicious characters or the slightest clue within a 5000-kilometer radius.”

——This was the conclusion they had reached earlier, and the intelligence provided by Lin Rui corroborated this.

The decree from the Divine Envoy indeed arrived shortly after, delivered to Lin Rui’s residence by a Second-rank Inner Eunuch.

The wording in the decree from the Divine Envoy’s was stern, ordering him to cooperate with the Third Divine Envoy, Luo Wangshu, in recovering all fragments of the Divine Tablet within six months, otherwise he would face severe punishment.

The decree not only authorized him to command the Divine Guard and the Imperial Guard, as well as all departments in the Imperial City Department and local County and State Soldiers, but within the Great Song territories, he could execute first and report later anyone who dared obstruct his investigation from ranks below Third-rank; those of and above Third-rank could be suspended and detained.

If the matter involved Purgatory, then Lin Rui could also mobilize the “Prison Suppressing Army,” “Sky Pond Army,” “Demon Refining Army,” and the “Sin Army,” the four armies of Sky Pond!

The Divine Envoy’s even granted him command over one battalion of the Divine Army.

The Divine Army consisted of ten battalions with three hundred Divine Guards each, all Sixth Realm Dragon Transformation, plus numerous masters from the Seventh and Eight Realms.

——They were talented orphans selected from various places in the Great Song Dynasty and cultivated by East Abyss using its Abyss Power, forming a formidable divine army.

The selection process for the Divine Guard appeared similar to the Dragon Guard’s and hardly had any elimination; in truth, it was even more ruthless.

According to Lin Rui, these Divine Guards virtually lacked free will, appearing dull and wooden, like wooden figures.

Along with the decree were also various Tiger Talismans and authority seals, totaling more than twenty.

Lin Rui thought no wonder the decree from the Divine Envoy took so long; preparing these items indeed took some time.

It showed how extremely infuriated the Divine was about the theft of the Divine Tablet, granting so many authorities for the investigation of this case was unprecedented.

At least as far as Lin Rui knew, there had never been such a case since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

By this time, after two hours of recuperation, Lin Rui’s injuries had only just begun to improve.

After receiving the decree, he had no choice but to drag his “sick body” to the Imperial City Department to begin arranging the search for fragments of the Abyss Divine Tablet.

Lin Rui thought to himself he was searching for an Immortal Plate!

The thing was right in his hands.

How should he investigate this case?

He didn’t know either.

Nevertheless, he still put on a stern and severe expression and summoned all the heads of the Spy Detection Bureau, the Imperial City Department, the Imperial Guard, and the Divine Guard to the main hall of his office.

At this time, there were over a dozen First-rank and Second-rank officials in the hall, along with several dozens of Ninth and Eight Realm Martial Cultivators, all maintaining a solemn and respectful demeanor without any sign of disrespect.

Nearly everyone in the hall knew about Lin Hao’s promotion to Fourth-rank ‘General of Aggression,’ and the fact that the Divine had granted him a Fourth-rank divine office, so no one dared to act rashly.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Few of them were aware of the incident where the First Divine Envoy and the Emperor were publicly flogged in front of numerous Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators by East Abyss, and the Third Divine Envoy Luo Wangshu was also punished to face the wall.

Yet after the Divine’s fury, Lin Hao’s rank actually increased rather than decreased, which was even rarer.

This clearly showed the increased trust from the Divine towards this Supervisor of the Spy Detection Bureau, and Lin Hao had evidently moved further up in the line of succession for the Divine Envoy—

Despite the decree stating that Lin Hao was to assist Luo Wangshu, since the Third Divine Envoy needed to stay in Capital to manage the administrative affairs of both the Divine Envoy and the Imperial City Department, which kept him busy with numerous matters.

Therefore, ultimately, the sole person in charge of annihilating the Bright Holy Sect and the Outer Heaven Demon was Lin Hao, who was currently managing them.

Since the matter of the Divine Tablet was confidential, the decree these people received was to assist Lin Hao in investigating the Bright Holy Sect and Outer Heaven Demons.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was solemn, causing Lin Rui’s mood to turn heavy.

Holding the tea cup handed to him by Shangguan Tianyi, he spoke in a chilling voice: “Our primary focus is on investigating the Demon Sect, but we must not overlook the Outer Heaven Demons either.

You all should know by now, these remnants of the Demon Sect have colluded with Outer Heaven Demons to attack the emissaries from four nations just outside our Luojing City, showing utter disrespect to our Great Song Dynasty!”

“Starting from now, within a 15,000-kilometer radius around Luojing City, we must establish checkpoints every ten kilometers and guard posts every hundred steps.

We must thoroughly check all passing individuals and materials, interrogate every suspicious person thoroughly, and anyone related to the Bright Holy Sect and the Heavenly Demons must be sent to Capital City—”

Lin Rui took a sip of his tea, thinking to himself that this was truly never-ending.

When would the prices of major materials from the base city on Sky Extreme Star come down?

Lin Rui sighed quietly, his voice growing even more stern: “Especially pay attention to passing materials.

The Ministry of Industry and the Divine Affairs Office are urgently crafting a batch of tokens.

These tokens will be used for detection; as soon as they sense something, you must notify me and the Third Divine Envoy immediately.

This matter is of great significance, anyone who dares neglect their duties, allowing any demonic entities of the Demon Sect to escape, will find no place for their burial by my hand!”

“Additionally, we must enforce a no-fly zone.

All flying artifacts inside and outside Luojing City must be activated to block a 12,000-kilometer area in the sky, no Heavenly Demon ships or artifacts should be allowed to pass through from above, the Divine Palace will also cooperate with us—”

As Lin Rui was speaking, he saw two graceful women walking towards the hall from outside.

They glanced inside from the doorway and then stood waiting outside.

Those were Luo Wangshu’s Dragon Guard Captain Jing Yuefang and Deputy Captain Su Xinmei.

Lin Rui immediately understood that these two were likely worried about Luo Wangshu and had come to inquire about the situation.

Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind, thinking about Luo Wangshu’s Eight Dragon Chariot, which was to transport the three fragments of the Abyss Divine Tablet to the Capital.

Indeed, Luo Wangshu’s chariot was the most suitable vehicle for the task.
