Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui captured Wang Tianwu's alternate form. With the support of "Guang Ming Heart No. 9," he anonymously sent a friend request to him.

To his surprise, his friend request was actually rejected!

Lin Rui furrowed his brows, speculating that this guy must not really understand the situation.

So, he composed another message and sent the friend request again.

This message should remind the person of his predicament and exert some pressure on him.

As a result, Wang Tianwu actually shut down the quantum communication network.

Lin Rui saw this notification and couldn't help but click his tongue, not in anger, but with a laugh.

This Wang Tianwu was really tough and intelligent, a formidable opponent indeed.

His conveyed message was "I don't want to talk to you right now. What you do to my alternate self is up to you."

However, upon thinking it over, Lin Rui felt that this was quite normal.

Alternate form walkers who could blend into the seventh or eighth realm were rare talents within the Earth Federation, not to mention Wang Tianwu, who was an eighth realm royal mage and a disciple of Ling Huan.

From Wang Tianwu's life story, one could tell that he was not only ambitious and proud but also very independent.

Subduing him would certainly not be an easy task.

Take it slow—

Lin Rui was in no hurry; he had already refined the Royal Flame Battle Dragon, and the combat capability of Xue Lingxue's alternate form special forces had been significantly enhanced.

Soon, several experts contacted by Gong Hengdao were about to be in place, and he would not be short of manpower for the time being.

Besides, his alternate form was already under his control. Where could it run?

Lin Rui, along with Ji Xueying, walked leisurely towards the imperial city, planning to meet his master to do his daily practice and have his master continue to strengthen him.

Right then, he received a message from Lin Xi.

Lin Xi (Summer's Shallow Thought): Brother, I have passed the Heavenly Demon Test, met the first Divine Envoy, and received the official appointment and seal from the first Divine Envoy.

Lin Rui's reaction was very calm, as this was within his expectations.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Good. You mustn't be careless or inattentive, especially after taking office. Be very careful; the imperial faction will definitely do everything possible to find fault with you. If you have anything unclear or unresolved, you can come to your brother anytime.

Lin Rui then received another piece of news.

Cold Light Bamboo Shadow (Li Li): Junior brother, Xie Yong and Pan Dongfan seem to be making their move tonight.

Lin Rui: Tonight? Senior brother, do you have any basis for this?

Cold Light Bamboo Shadow (Li Li): Just now, the Supervisor of Jia Ku Ge asked me for leave, saying his elderly mother fell ill and he needed to tend to her at home. When he asked for leave, he reminded me to be wary of Xie Yong and Pan Dongfan, claiming his mother, who is just a hundred years old and has always been healthy, suddenly becoming ill felt very unusual.

Lin Rui couldn't help but raise his brows and smile.

This Supervisor is indeed dedicated, tasked with guarding books and documents in Jia Ku Ge; it's really a bit of an underuse of his talents.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Since the fish has taken the bait, let's proceed according to plan.

Lin Rui hadn't expected that, under his relentless pressure, these two would actually target Jia Ku Ge.

This was a pleasant surprise, hitting him right where he wanted.

Lin Rui called upon his spirit guard again.

"Spirit Guard, help me elevate my high-tier Illusion Technique to Great Grandmaster level!"
Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

Notice: You possess an advanced high-tier Illusion Technique; upgrading to Great Grandmaster level will cost 6000 Soul Power points.

Lin Rui agreed; his ability in Illusion Technique had been copied from Battle Spirit No. 2, originating from Yue Tianqing's second Primordial Spirit.

He would need to use this ability tonight, and of course, the higher and more perfect, the better.

※※※※

That night, the guardians of the ninth and tenth monitors, Xie Yong and Pan Dongfan, met in the corridor thirty feet south of Jia Ku Ge.

Xie Yong gazed at the distant building that had all its lights out, his face cold as iron and his eyes gleaming with a wolf-like ferocity: "Old Pan, are you sure your men can delay them till tomorrow morning?"

Pan Dongfan pressed his hand on his long sword and sneered, "Miss Li from Qinghua Building is famous in Luo Capital. She owes me a favor and has agreed to help me once. Those clerks at the archive building have never seen such a spectacle, and they definitely won't be returning tonight, but there are still three people guarding inside—"

Before he could finish, Xie Yong interrupted, "They have been taken by my men to record their testimony. Within two hours, they won't be able to free themselves."

Xie Yong then pointed forward and said, "You can sense it, there is no one inside now!"

The breathing of both men began to grow heavy, and Pan Dongfan's voice became strained, "Should we really change it? Perhaps we could ask Prince Han for help."

"Ask for help?" Xie Yong scoffed coldly, "Haven't you seen the momentum of the Imperial Censor and Lin Hao? They can't do anything to Prince Han, so they turn to us, determined to kill us. Prince Han might save our lives but not our current positions."

Xie Yong pulled a fire striker and a bag of flammable oil from his waist, shaking them in front of Pan Dongfan, "Even altering it would be useless. The cases handled by Prince Han are poorly done, they cannot be altered perfectly without flaws. As for new ink versus old ink, it can be recognized at a glance. The only solution now is to leave no evidence behind."

Pan Dongfan took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, "Your point is valid, but all documents in the archive have backups hidden in the Golden Coffer Stone Chamber, which we can't access."

Xie Yong's face was expressionless, "So what? They can't get those out! If they could retrieve those case documents, Prince Han would have already lost his power."

The Golden Coffer Stone Chamber is also where the royal secret documents are stored, controlled by the emperor and the palace eunuchs.

Pan Dongfan thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it!"

He thought burning them would be better, to rid themselves of future problems forever.

After the fire, there would be no evidence, and the Imperial Censor could not start trouble.

Pan Dongfan tightened his grip on the sword at his waist, suddenly feeling a surge of ruthless energy within him, pondering that he must make Lin Hao pay once this hurdle was passed.

That bastard, he should not think he can securely hold the position of chief commander of the spy agency!

The two exchanged glances and then silently walked toward the archive building, moving through the darkness without a sound.

Indeed, there was no one inside the archive building, and they easily climbed in through a window on the third floor.

At that moment, Pan Dongfan paused briefly, sniffing the air, "How strange, why do I smell flammable oil here?"

The archive building was filled with important documents, and the use of flammable oil lamps was strictly controlled. Even at night, lighting was forbidden, and they used a type of Spirit Stone called 'Glow White Stone' for illumination.

Smelling the odor of the flammable oil, which was actually a high flammability version used for fiery projectiles on Heavenly Demon dragon armors, with power comparable to mini missiles from Heavenly Demons.

They had brought this type of oil too, but it hadn't been spread yet!

Xie Yong looked around, his face instantly turning deathly pale, "Something is definitely wrong!"

He noticed that several bookshelves on this floor of the archive were empty!

Xie Yong's scalp tingled, and without hesitation, he flew out the window.

However, as soon as he exited, he saw flames roaring behind him, the fierce blaze instantly engulfing the entire third floor of the archive.

The intensity of the flames was extremely fierce; the high temperature was scorching. Even from a distance of thirty feet, Xie Yong felt unbearably hot.

Inside the third floor of the archive, the bookshelves and many remaining books turned to ash in an instant.

Xie Yong's pupils contracted sharply, realizing instantly that someone had entered the archive before them and, after taking the documents, had set up this incriminating trap.

At that moment, Lin Hao, wearing dragon armor, burst forth from the main hall, unleashing a thunderous roar, "Who dares to burn the spy agency's records? You are courting death! Squad Twenty-Seven!"

Wang Sen also dashed out following Lin Rui's figure, and immediately turned to signal Zhu Yuanhan beside him.

Zhu Yuanhan promptly placed a hand to her lips and blew gently forward, sending an immensely powerful burst of cold sweeping toward the archive, significantly reducing the fire and stopping it from spreading to the upper and lower floors.

Lin Rui and Ji Xueying split up, each intercepting a fast-moving figure in the sky.

Xie Yong's eyes reddened, knowing he must not be caught by Lin Hao, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

His body's veins bulged nearly to bursting, releasing all his energy in an instant.

"Die!"

Just as Xie Yong drew his sword, he saw a burst of bright cold light before him.

"Clang!"

Xie Yong had no time to react before he found his arms and legs severed from his body,

Filled with an overwhelming sense of dread, Xie Yong thought, is this the combat power of a sixth realm emperor?

—Such a fast sword!
