Lin Rui’s expression remained calm, and he spoke indifferently, “Last month, my tenth Supervisor, Ruan Guoqiu, discovered that Duke An, Du Xinran, was collecting what he called the genetic information of my Blood Saber Lady.

At that time, due to the tragic death of my sworn sister, Zhou Yunxi and her family, I had been having my private subordinates investigate and collect various intelligence and evidence of crimes regarding Duke An, Du Xinran. It was already known then that Du Xinran was involved with the Heavenly Demon, and when I handle such cases, I always assume the worst intentions in these demons and traitors. From this, I inferred that Duke An, Du Xinran, must have sought to harm my Protective Demon, undoubtedly by drawing upon the powers of the Outer Heaven Demons.”

At this point, Lin Rui let out a cold laugh, “If I am aware of their schemes in advance, how could I be without countermeasures? I have been lying low these past days precisely to lure the snake out of its hole, to conclusively prove this Duke An’s crime of collusion with demons and incidentally catch this group of Outer Heaven Demons who still dare to shelter within the Capital.”

The several Ninth Realm experts on site exchanged glances, thinking that Lin Hao was managing this case with both public and private interests in mind.

What kind of luring the snake out of the hole strategy is this? It should be more like stirring the grass to scare the snake and forcing it out, right?

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Indeed, this Du Xinran is colluding with the Heavenly Demon, an unforgivable crime.

...

However, from the current information gathered from all sides, it appears that Du Xinran’s initial target was most likely Lin Hao’s Protective Demon. It was Lin Hao’s brutal retaliation that pushed Du Xinran to the brink of desperation, forcing him to join forces with the local Outer Heaven Demons in a fight to the death!

Now, it remains unknown what has become of this man. According to reports from various places, he clearly led a large group of experts back to the Capital, yet disappeared without a trace on the eve of battle.

Could it be that he had foreseen his own defeat, or did he develop a fear of battle and thus chose to flee in fear of his crimes?

At this time, the twentieth Supervisor, Luo Tianman, was also standing by with a look of dejection and envy in his eyes.

He had previously been responsible for investigating the Heavenly Demon case related to the Jinhao trade association under the care of the Commander, earning great merit.

Recently feeling that his experience and merits were sufficient, he wanted to seek an appointment outside the capital, to leap directly from Supervisor to garrison commander of a remote province.

Although the Spy Detection Bureau wielded great authority, there is a saying among the people: it’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Luo Tianman believed that with his age, he probably could not climb to the position of Deputy Commander, so being transferred to garrison commander would be an excellent choice, at least allowing him to amass enough wealth to ascend to a high rank.

Thus, in recent times, Luo Tianman had been less efficient in handling matters for the Commander, which gave Ruan Guoqiu of the tenth Supervisor an opportunity to step in and claim a great achievement.

Luo Tianman felt extremely regretful and thought to himself that he should get closer to Lin Rui in the future.

At this moment, Lin Rui had already walked to the window to observe the situation inside.

The scene was a mess, with holes everywhere on the walls, some as deep as tens of meters, nearly penetrating the high-strength concrete walls of the base.

On the ground lay over a hundred corpses scattered haphazardly, including those of the Outer Heaven Demons as well as Divine Guards and Spy Detection Bureau agents.

At the central position, an electronic altar displayed a simple sleeping cabin, where Ji Xueying’s clone was supposed to be placed.

However, inside the cabin now was nothing but a jumble of scattered flesh and blood, which seemed to have disintegrated due to backlash from magical forces.

Lin Rui glanced over without any particular concern and had no intention of retrieving Ji Xueying’s genetic material.

The Longevity Association would surely have backed up Ji Xueying’s genetic blueprint, so there was no need; moreover, if others wanted to steal Ji Xueying’s genetic samples, there were plenty of ways to do so.

To guard against such curses, in the end, one must rely on Ji Xueying herself. As long as her Divine Thought is strong enough and her will is steadfast, she can keep all evils at bay.

Moreover, when a Martial Cultivator’s cultivation reaches an advanced stage and enters the ultimate unity of spirit and body, they can always maintain their true self, making such curse techniques difficult to execute.

Lin Rui’s eyes brightened as he noticed that most of the electronic altar was still intact.

Although the surface of the altar was pitted and probably blasted by the flesh and brains of Seventh and Eighth Realm experts, the material used was extremely resilient, leaving the internal structure undamaged.

While observing, Lin Rui continued to explain, “However, Duke An has a strong foundation, and the strength of these Outer Heaven Demons is unfathomable. Therefore, I didn’t just set up a Reverse Yin Yang Array at home in advance to transfer any curse to myself; early on, I had also summoned the projection of the Spiritual Sky Dragon to my mansion.

Of course, that alone wouldn’t be sufficient. To be absolutely sure, I also had my master expend some Primordial Qi to leave a Sword Qi at my residence, preserved within an Array!”

Lin Rui lifted his chin slightly, looking disdainfully at the remains of the high-level mages in the Magic Hall.

Most of them were headless, lying silently on the electronic altar.

“With such preparations by Lin, even if they had Divine Envoy Level experts personally casting spells, they could only retreat with their own lives. However, under the scrutiny of the Heavenly Observation Divine Mirror, these people may not be able to escape.”

These words were a rationale Lin Rui had well prepared in advance; he was actually quite afraid of death, so he had made thorough preparations for everything.

If it were just an ordinary heart-piercing curse, Lin Rui could manage it with the Spiritual Sky Dragon.

However, with Duke An driven to such extremes by him, a dog driven to jump over a wall was a likely development, and it could not be overlooked.

Conveniently, Luo Wangshu had already expended a great deal of Primordial Qi to enhance Ji Xueying’s Bloodline Talent and her Divine Soul and Spirit, so he simply used this as an excuse to fabricate a reason for the Divine Palace and the court.

In truth, if Luo Wangshu had really left a Sword Qi in advance, it would be possible to annihilate the spirits of all these mages, but Lin Rui was reluctant to do so.

The master had already exhausted a great deal by aiding Ji Xueying’s Dragon Transformation; there was no need to further weary the master.

Besides, Lin Rui had set his sights on the Soul Power of these Magicians and their various Skills.

“So that’s how it is!”

Han Baxian showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, yet a hint of a different color flashed in his eyes.

He thought that this new friend he had made was both cunning and venomous, truly worthy of the name King Yama’s Blade.

According to the words of those Outer Heaven Demons, this should be so-called annihilating the wolf, best to admire from a distance.

Since a relationship has already been established, then one can only be a friend, not an enemy.

Han Baxian’s eyes were full of admiration: “Lin Rui is truly worthy of being called a thorough strategist. I’m sure the Great Celestial Master will also be very pleased upon hearing this news. Lin Rui is truly deserving of the Divine’s trust. On my return to the palace, I will definitely strive to secure honors for Lin Rui. Today’s Heavenly Demon case is of an enormous scale, involving a wide reach, and the level of demons involved is also extremely high. The Divine Palace will certainly have commendations!”

Although he still had some doubts about Lin Hao’s explanation, on the whole, he was quite satisfied, especially after carefully considering it and not discovering any major issues.

In fact, even if he weren’t satisfied, what could he do? It’s not like he could search Lin Hao’s residence, could he?

Not to mention that they had no evidence, and Lin Hao didn’t have any suspicious points, even if there were, they would need to act cautiously, and they must seek the God’s guidance.

This was someone in possession of the Divine Merit Order and the Divine Dragon Slayer Saber, only with the personal decree from the Divine could others have the authority to investigate and handle the matter.

Moreover, he also had to consider the Third Divine Envoy, Luo Wangshu.

Han Baxian thought that in the coming time, it would be best to find a way to send one or two people into Lin Mansion.

The best method would be to arrange for a few strong Dragon Guards, which would be both a reward for Lin Hao and a way to restrain him.

He didn’t believe that this went against the way of friends; this was for Lin Hao’s own good.

This was the rule in the Divine Palace; the more one is trusted by the Divine Palace, the closer they need to be watched.

“Indeed, he deserves considerable commendations!” At this moment, the First Divine Envoy also smiled and turned his gaze towards Lin Rui: “Commander Lin indeed possesses remarkable abilities, both literary and martial. Today, I do not take joy in the demise of these Heavenly Demons, but in Commander Lin’s success in rooting out Duke An, Du Xinran, the traitor, and removing a major threat from the court!”

Then shaking his head with a sigh: “I truly did not anticipate that the infiltration capability of these Outer Heaven Demons was so strong, even a grand duke of our court and the deputy marshal of royal guards were corrupted. What is it that they can’t do?”

The mood of the First Divine Envoy was extremely cheerful.

Today, Lin Hao indeed gave him a pleasant surprise; by eliminating Duke An, Du Xinran, it was as if he had removed an arm of the emperor!

The First Divine Envoy was initially very displeased with Lin Hao taking over the position of the Spy Detection Bureau Deputy Commander, but first, his preferred candidate was blocked from advancing, secondly, in order to win over Luo Wangshu, he had to hold his nose and support him, and also repeatedly show favor and protect the young man.

Now it seems that not only is the young man extremely capable, but he may also be more suitable for this position than the person he previously favored.

The emperor’s expression was calm, hands clasped behind his back as he said: “He indeed merits substantial commendation to highlight his contributions! Since the few of us are here, let’s quickly discuss and formulate a policy on how to reward him for his merits.”

But there was not only a lack of displeasure on his face, but it even curved into a hint of a smile.

Du Xinran was utterly to blame for his own misfortune.

Had this fool not been so foolish as to provoke Lin Hao, he would not have ended up in a situation of being targeted and suppressed by Lin Hao with full force.

Furthermore, had he possessed enough patience, enough perseverance, and waited until the Great Song royal family had the resources to spare, the Du Family would not have faced extinction.

They could have retained their noble titles, and some of the family’s legitimate descendants could have survived, but Du Xinran insisted on acting on his own accord, staking everything on one throw and taking reckless risks.

Moreover, Du Xinran, the principal offender, was insincere, guilty of deceiving the monarch! This scoundrel had kept him in the dark and colluded with Outer Heaven Demons to this extent!

Thus, the emperor was actually pleased with Lin Hao, for removing these parasitic worms hidden within the Great Song dynasty, cutting off the rotting flesh.

People like Du Xinran, who are supposedly arms and henchmen, better off dead.

With these people gone, it not only allows the fate of Great Song to persevere longer but also clears space for him to recruit new henchmen—more loyal, more devoted, and more powerful.

The only regret for the emperor was that the schemes of these Outer Heaven Demons did not succeed.

The emperor’s mind wandered to the sky above within his thoughts.

These Outer Heaven Demons must also believe that the frequent awakenings of the Abyss cause great damage to it, right?

Furthermore, they were very eager to provoke a war between the surface and Purgatory!

Besides, this time the Divine had not awakened, although the situation was not out of control at the moment, such a big disturbance within the city, yet the Divine had no intention of awakening.

The corners of the emperor’s lips lifted slightly, his thoughts becoming settled.

Although the loss of the traitor Du Xinran today, it allowed the emperor to further discern the situation.

— That is to endure! He and the Great Song dynasty must persevere to the end. Our future will certainly be bright and boundless!

As for Lin Hao, his original plan was also to use him like a knife to cure the decayed flesh of Great Song and remove the filth.

The problem is that this young man’s talent is simply too high, and his potential is surprisingly great; the emperor is not afraid of the sharpness of the knife, but rather the inability to control it.

From recent observations, there doesn’t seem to be any possibility of winning this young man over.

A trace of extraordinary light flashed in the emperor’s eyes.

He would not personally take action against Lin Hao, but if any Outer Heaven Demon wished to eliminate Lin Hao, he would be pleased to see it succeed and might even provide some convenience.

Before that, let this young man continue to wield his knife, to trim the decay of Great Song.
