Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 706 - 660: Furious Rage_2

So, the assassination attempt on Thunder and the takeover of the Sky Extreme Star trade monitoring center should only be their first step. With Forest Trading Company holding 160 cargo transportation licenses, it might also be one of their targets. We must take preemptive action first."

She told herself that there would be plenty of time to grieve in the future, but even one second’s delay in vengeance was unacceptable.

Lin Rui nodded slightly, and once Xue Lingxue finished touching up her makeup, he immediately convened a video meeting.

This virtual video strategy meeting was notified two hours earlier by Lin Rui, who also instructed Lin Xi and the Heart of Light No. 9 to prepare several encrypted channels to ensure confidentiality.

Moments later, Fang Ranran, Xianyu Yan, Lin Yi, Ji Shenyan, Shi Yan, Wang Tianwu, Lu Hanyuan, Lin Guangming, Lin Xi, Fei Yunlai, Gong Hengdao, Li Yuehua, Hou Yuting, Ji Xueying, Shangguan Tianyi, and Wang Sen—the core members of the "Forest·Rui Fang" Group—all appeared inside the virtual conference room.

After Fang Ranran appeared, she noticed Xue Lingxue with a glance and saw obvious traces of makeup repair around her assistant’s eyes, which were visibly red and swollen.

Fang Ranran then cast a sidelong look at the area around Lin Rui’s chest and noticed it was particularly dry with some faint, almost undetectable salt grains.

This guy must have used True Yuan to evaporate, but failed to ensure his clothing was uniformly dry.

Fang Ranran let out a soft snort, said nothing further, and began attentively listening to Xue Lingxue’s explanation.

A moment later, Fang Ranran raised her eyebrows: "You really miscalculated. You should’ve anticipated Longevity Association’s likely move to instigate external wars to shift internal conflicts. But it’s not too late now; Xiaoxue’s ’Purity Plan’ must be implemented immediately."

The so-called ’Purity Plan’ referred to purging all Longevity Association’s pawns within the Ninth Base City’s bureaucratic system to turn the city into the fortress of the "Forest·Rui Fang" Group.

Though the Longevity Association’s strength remained profound and immeasurable, the current "Forest·Rui Fang" Group was no weakling either.

Lin Rui now controlled Xianyu Yan, Ji Shenyan, Wang Tianwu, and Lu Hanyuan—three and a half quasi-members of Congress—and possessed Lin Yi and Shi Yan, two combatants with the enigmatic 7th Realm Abyss Weapons.

Adding doubtful ally Zhu Youheng, the "Forest·Rui Fang" Group boasted seven Super Emperor-level combatants of the Eighth Realm.

Even Lin Rui himself wielded the Supreme Divine Artifact ’Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire.’

Fang Ranran had learned from Linghu Mingde’s mouth that her boyfriend had gained another title—’King Ming’ of the Light God Sect!

Even Wang Sen was revealing increasingly ambitious prospects; once he succeeded in Dragon Transformation, he could contribute the ’Ice Blood Fiend,’ another Super Emperor-level powerhouse of the Eighth Realm.

Adding Linghu Mingde’s power and the Linghu Family’s operations within the Ninth Base City,

the Longevity Association would no longer be able to leverage governmental forces to counterbalance or strike at the "Forest·Rui Fang" Group, thereby eliminating their two-front vulnerabilities within the city.

Lu Hanyuan reflected with a bitter smile: "I predicted Longevity Association might attempt to shift their internal problems externally, but I kept thinking about waiting a little longer. The group’s strength is rapidly swelling; every minute we delay war, our power grows another increment."

Lin Rui was about to speak when he suddenly exclaimed in alarm, his face turning grave.

Everyone in the conference room turned their gaze toward him; Lin Rui furrowed his brows: "Zhou Yunfei in the Ninth Division office has been ambushed, critically injured, and near death! If he hadn’t recently upgraded his armament with a new bloodline ability and received a secret 9SS-grade Red Spider 8PRO self-defense unit from the Second Commander, allowing him to counter-kill the attacker, he’d be dead by now."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions subtly shifting.

"And that’s not all!" Lin Rui checked the Security Bureau’s backend for updates: "Good heavens, in just this past hour, six Commanders and two Marshals of the Security Bureau have been ambushed; six of them are dead—all of them former subordinates of the Second Commander. This attack isn’t just targeting Thunder; it’s aimed squarely at the Second Commander."

"Longevity Association clearly predicts the Second Commander is declining and incapable of retaliating."

Fang Ranran narrowed her eyes: "This is also a provocation against the First Commander, Li Xianglong—no! This is outright war. Recent moves by the Security Bureau must’ve struck a nerve for them. The deliberate targeting of Commander Lin Tianchen’s direct lineage aims to divide alliances, distinguishing treatment of the third and fourth commanders’ factions. But this misstep will bring disaster upon themselves."

She knew Lin Rui was prepared to deploy the ’Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire’ to resolve Lin Tianchen’s True Spirit predicament.

She also knew the Second Commander had invested heavily in Rui Fang’s bio-armament research for new surgical implants.

Unlike Li Xianglong, who spread resources thinly across political parties and King Kou Xuan’s costly ventures, Lin Tianchen had ample funding reserves.

This trajectory of entering Divine Envoy-level status was already set in stone.

At that moment, Lin Rui received both Li Xianglong’s top-level security order and Lin Tianchen’s urgent communications.

Lin Tianchen: Xiao Rui, you must expedite my transaction with King Ming. No matter what terms the Light God Sect demands, they are negotiable.

Lin Tianchen: Also, arrange for my surgical armament implantation via Rui Fang Research Institute immediately.

From Lin Tianchen’s words, Lin Rui sensed urgency and anger emanating from the commander.

Xu Mengran, Li Xianglong, and Kou Xuanwang’s own armament developments were nearly complete, yet these three individuals hesitated about undergoing implantation due to their own concerns. However, the Second Commander seemed indifferent to the risks, desperate for a swift increase in combat strength.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Commander, rest assured, I will make it happen.

"We need to alleviate some of the pressure on our two superiors as well."

Lin Rui swept his gaze across the conference table’s attendees: "The operational plans have been distributed to you all. In simple terms, we must collaborate over the next few days with the Children’s Song Killer, Lin Yi, and Shi Yan to eliminate everyone on the blacklist. Simultaneously, enhance defensive capabilities across all fronts to prevent any vulnerabilities."

Shi Yan silently studied the list Lin Rui handed her.

A total of 37 names—all high-ranking officials within the Ninth Base City.

Over the next three days, she had to execute—no, this was forcible liquidation, a purge! Each name on this list must be eliminated one by one!

Shi Yan thought briefly about how the King Ming of the Light God Sect was treating her entirely like an assassin. But considering Lin Rui had saved her life before and continued to sustain her by providing various equipment, this exchange of loyalty felt justified.

Shi Yan’s main concern was whether all the targets on this blacklist truly belonged to the Longevity Association.

She promptly suppressed her thoughts. Whoever they were, they had to die!

Lin Rui must have sufficient evidence. Under such circumstances, the approach would undeniably be "better safe than sorry." None would be spared.

Lin Rui spoke with concern as he looked at Lin Yi: "Xiao Yi, how are you feeling? If you find yourself emotionally resistant to this, then let it go."

Lin Yi, having just regained her physical form, surprised Lin Rui as her consciousness couldn’t retrieve her memories upon return.

Lin Rui had studied Lin Yi’s brain and discovered her memory cells’ neurons were disconnected.

Biologically, Lin Yi was rejecting integration with her memory cells, even spiritually as well.

Lin Rui understood this stemmed from the overwhelming pain of her past memories; Lin Yi was unwilling to recall or recover them.

Lin Yi replied with a shake of her head and an excited expression: "I’m fine! Leave it to me."

Strangely, Lin Yi grew uncontrollably excited at the prospect of personally killing people.

Lin Rui wondered if his sister still had some mental issues. He nodded: "During the operation, if you encounter danger, you can use the Painful Heavenly Dragon. Your safety takes top priority."

Lin Rui then turned his attention to Fang Ranran: "Ranran?"

"No problems here."

Fang Ranran nodded affirmatively: "I’ll keep an eye on Congress for you. My father-in-law mentioned that Sky Fox Group will fully support your plans. But the mayor, Huo Bangguo—what about him? He definitely won’t sit idly by."

The implementation of the "Forest·Rui Fang" Group’s clearance operation would encounter its biggest hurdle in Huo Bangguo. This obstacle had to be forcibly removed.

"Two hours ago, Lin Hao already sent an invitation to Mayor Huo, inviting him to attend the opening ceremony of Star Port while discussing increased pharmaceutical supplies for the Ninth Base City."

As Lin Rui said this, he sheepishly rubbed his forehead. He couldn’t help but feel some guilt for constantly maneuvering the mayor into unfavorable positions.
