Chapter 562: Chapter 535: Quick Battle (Please Subscribe)
Lin Rui looked up and down at Xianyu Yan with a mix of astonishnt and envy: “Is this what the late Crown Prince left for you? Did you go to the Sky Pond Passage these past few days to retrieve these things?”
At this mont, Xianyu Yan was not only wearing a magnificent and splendid set of Battle Armor but also had a five-foot-long Battle Saber hanging at her waist. Even sheathed, its presence was so sharp that it made one’s scalp tingle at a re glance.
——Clearly, these were two Ninth Realm Super Emperor Magic Artifacts!
Behind Xianyu Yan, a Dharma Wheel floated, with nine Treasure Beads embedded on it—each a Magic Artifact of the Eighth Realm of Super Emperor, including the Thunder Soul Pearl and others that represented the nine forces of tal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, yin, and yang.
Lin Rui’s face couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
It seed that the late Crown Prince really had so foundation; the Magic Artifacts on Xianyu Yan’s person were even more luxurious and more powerful than his own as the master.
...
It should be noted that the current Magic Artifacts used by Shangguan Tianyi and Ji Xueying were only of the Seventh Realm.
The Thunder Soul Pearl used by Shangguan Tianyi was not even on par with a single bead on Xianyu Yan’s Dharma Wheel.
It was unknown what specific abilities this Dharma Wheel possessed, but just by looking at the Spiritual Power radiance it emitted and the etheric fluctuations it triggered, one could tell that it must possess trendous Divine Power—perhaps it was a Ninth Realm Emperor Rank Magic Artifact.
“Your Highness is astute!” Xianyu Yan nodded: “Indeed, these Magic Artifacts are the relics left to by the late Crown Prince. I had hidden them within a Sky Pond Passage and did not bring them back.”
Xianyu Yan gently caressed the Battle Armor on her body, with a gaze that seed filled with reminiscence yet was utmost cold.
She knew that if she had brought these Magic Artifacts back then, they would definitely not have been kept safe.
Xianyu Yan never thought that she would see these Magic Artifacts again; she believed that her future was destined to be one of destituteness and decadence, dying amidst regret.
“There is also another Ninth Realm Super Emperor Magic Artifact, specifically forged for use with Battle Dragons, and it is now embedded within my Battle Dragon’s body. It grants my Battle Dragon so abilities related to space and ti, greatly enhancing its combat strength.”
Xianyu Yan looked at Lin Rui with an odd expression: “I heard that your excellency has advocated before God to place the Heavenly Demon’s smuggling trade under court regulation—a matter the late Crown Prince longed to do, yet hesitated and feared to take action on, and now, it’s accomplished by your hands.”
She also knew that Lin Rui now had not only the right to establish his own authority and subordinates but could also enter the Cabinet for discussions and political decisions, his power even surpassing that of the late Crown Prince.
“However, why did Divine Above send you to Jingzhou to suppress the rebellion?”
The East Abyss should not have intended for Lin Hao to go to his death, yet this God was by no ans a feeble-minded God—how could it be unaware of the great risks Lin Hao would face leaving the capital now?
Lin Rui smiled and pointed to the center of his brow: “Divine Above is still quite kind to , bestowing upon a life-saving cultivation thod. However, I only have a short 15 days; after that, the power of this thod will gradually weaken.”
Xianyu Yan’s expression shifted at these words: “Does He intend to draw the snake out of its hole, to lure it and then annihilate it?”
Using her liege as bait?
“Does Divine Above possess such intention?” Lin Rui smiled faintly, “My task is to suppress the rebellion, and I won’t consider anything else—”
It was at this mont that Lu Hanyuan ca in, carrying a tal object shaped like the ancient Western torture device ‘Iron Maiden’: “Lord Hou, the Divine Prison Departnt has brought the prisoner Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy here.”
As Lu Hanyuan spoke, he set down the object in his hand with a ‘thunk’.
Lin Rui knew this object was called the ‘Soul Suppressing Coffin,’ specially used to detain and bind high-level Martial Cultivators; it was extrely effective at suppressing the Primordial Spirits of Martial Cultivators.
When Lin Rui opened the Soul Suppressing Coffin, the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy lay inside, chained all over, her complexion pale, and her body was blood-stained and covered in wounds—a sight of extre misery.
The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy, a great master of the Ninth Realm Super Emperor Rank, was now incapable of healing her own flesh wounds, which indicated the severity of her injuries.
“Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy!” Lin Rui saw the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy open her eyes and gaze deeply at him; he continued to ask, “I am now headed to the north of Jingzhou to quell the rebellion and dissolve this catastrophe. Are you willing to cooperate with ?”
The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy waited for Lin Rui to take out the Sound Suppressing Ball from her mouth before speaking: “Can you guarantee the lives of these disciples of my faith? Will the court no longer pursue them?”
“I can assure you their lives are safe. You might not be aware that I am now a mber of the Cabinet, and any disposition of the court towards you cannot bypass .”
Lin Rui’s gaze then grew colder: “Though the death penalty may be spared, other punishnts are unavoidable. These nine million sinners must be relocated elsewhere.”
The Great Song Court could not possibly allow these walking ti bombs to remain north of Luojing.
“`
——The distance between the two locations is less than ten thousand miles, which is still quite dangerous.
“`
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy pondered briefly, then nodded.
“`
“You are sensible to the tis. Once the suppression of the uprising is settled, I will have the Divine Prison Departnt improve your treatnt,” Lin Rui smiled with satisfaction. He then swept his gaze over the people present: Lin Xi, Ji Xueying, Shangguan Tianyi, and the three Seventh Realm Super Kings of the Dragon Guard, as well as Lu Hanyuan standing solemnly beside them.
“`
——These were the visible high-level experts under Lin Hao’s command.
“`
Besides, there were 24 Sixth Realm Dragon Transformation experts in his residence, but their origins were complicated. So were from Lin Rui’s workshop, so were Alien Walkers who had revealed their identities on Sky Extre Star, so were high-level cultivators recruited by Lu Hanyuan, and so had suspicious origins, possibly deliberately planted in his residence by soone.
“`
Elder Martial Brother Li Li must help him keep an eye on the Spy Detection Bureau and cannot leave lightly.
“`
Wang Sen’s combat power has improved and continues to grow stronger day by day. Besides patrolling the entire city and dealing with outdoor affairs that do not require Lin Rui’s personal involvent, he also has the responsibility of overseeing several businesses.
“`
“Not long ago I had ordered all high-level Martial Cultivators above Sixth Realm who were not on official duty to gather in the northern city within two hours.”
“`
Lin Rui raised his eyebrows slightly: “In quelling the Jingzhou rebellion, the benefit lies in quick battles and decisive victories. Steward Lv Jingwei shall remain to hold down the fort at the residence! The rest will follow to Jingzhou shortly.”
“`
Xianyu Yan was startled upon hearing this: “Your Majesty intends to strike against the rebellion in Jingzhou now? If the Jingzhou rebellion is truly the work of Purgatory, they will certainly be watching you. Since you have been granted full authority by the Divine, you can certainly call up troops and gather experts from the surrounding areas of Luojing.”
“`
She believed this to be the safest thod.
“`
With Lin Rui’s current power, given three to five days, he could summon fifteen to twenty-five Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators, five to six thousand Dragon Transformation Masters, and an army of one to two hundred and thirty thousand. When the ti ca, the army would encircle and sweep the rebels clean.
“`
Lu Hanyuan smiled appreciatively upon hearing this.
“`
He knew that Lin Rui did not want to cause too much destruction, which was where he fell short compared to Jin Bolong. However, Lin Rui’s strategy, decisiveness, and sharpness far exceeded Jin Bolong’s.
“`
“If even you suspect that the Divine Above is drawing out the snake, what about those Purgatory forces?”
“`
Lin Rui laughed casually, resting his hand on his saber: “Today, let’s employ a feint with an empty city. Having fewer people also has its advantages: more convenience and agility in movent. Of course, we must prepare for both possibilities. We still need to mobilize troops and gather more Dragon Transformation Masters, preparing for the army to crush the rebels.
“`
Xue Ying, you take Tian Xiang with you to change into a different outfit. Give her that set of Exoskeleton Armor gifted by the Heavenly Demon Pri Minister, it’s more convenient for movent—”
“`
Just then, Lu Hanyuan’s expression shifted and he drifted outside.
“`
Shortly after, he returned with a Flying Book that traveled a hundred thousand miles, handing it over to Lin Rui.
“`
“Your Majesty, I recognize this Flying Book; it should be the response from those two.”
“`
Lin Rui took it into his hands, pulled out the letter inside, glanced at it, and then chuckled.
“`
Indeed, it was sent by ‘Fairy Qin Yue’ Li Yuehua, with ‘Ice King of the Snowy Night’ Hou Yuting also on her super lightspeed Flying Boat. They were forced together to escape pursuit.
“`
That Hou Yuting was especially miserable, having had his super lightspeed Flying Boat destroyed and having no choice but to seek refuge with Li Yuehua.
“`
This ti, their tone was much more submissive, not daring to propose any conditions and willing to sign a Divine Contract.
“`
Lin Rui wrote a reply letter and sent back the Dragon Skin Paper that already contained the written contract terms and had been witnessed by three gods. Now, those two had to leave their nas, both main and Alien identities, and drop their Essence Blood of both identities, before forwarding it back to Lin Rui for his signature and seal to activate the Divine Contract.
“`
The Ten Realm Dragon Skin Paper still had so lingering aura of the East Abyss, but with the Concepts Divine Power of Retribution, Divine Law, and Verdant Blood, there wasn’t much left.
“`
Besides, the Divine Contract they were signing was nothing more than a normal master-servant pact, containing nothing sensitive.
“`
Alas, these two could not participate in the upcoming rebellion suppression.
“`
Lin Rui acted swiftly. In about five minutes, he led the group and took his Flying Car out of the north gate of Luojing.
“`
They converged there with an entire battalion of Divine Guards, along with a large number of experts from the Imperial City Departnt, Divine Strategy Guard, and Imperial Guard, as well as Luo Wangshu’s entire team of Dragon Guard Captains, both principal and deputy.
“`
There were over eight hundred Dragon Transformation Masters, seven of them at Eight Realms, and two Ninth Realm Super Kings from the Divine Eye Bureau. Utilizing the fastest Flying Cars and Flying Boats, they expected to reach the northern part of Jingzhou within an hour.
“`
What surprised Xianyu Yan was that ng Weiyun, another disciple of Luo Wangshu, also hurried to join them.
“`
She had already changed into the robe of a Second Rank Heavenly Official, her face beaming with vigor.
