Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate
Chapter 374: The Truth (Subscription Request)
"The assassination case involving Master Wei?"
Luo Wangshu was startled and scanned the numerous Imperial Guards in front of her again.
She then opened two leather pouches and examined the contents one by one.
Luo Wangshu's face gradually became solemn, and finally, a layer of cyan spread across it.
Yue Tianqing was not only the main contact between Thunder Killing Sword Sect and the Federal Military, but she had also personally participated in several clandestine missions. She was well-informed about the collusion between the inferno, the military, and the Ninth Candidate Divine Envoy.
She might have been worried about being silenced because she had preserved a large amount of physical evidence and had also written a document detailing the events.
The contents of Fei Yunlai's pouch were mainly a video pen, a small pencil-shaped device that could project and play various high-definition three-dimensional videos when activated.
He not only recorded the process of the mission but also, while being pursued, he released the Heavenly Demon, using its special abilities to hide high in the sky and follow and photograph key individuals he suspected.
The videos included the locations of two secret military bases and a covert passage that seemingly led to the Abyss.
Fei Yunlai, out of caution, did not dare to enter the passage but suspected that his case was related to the Prison Military.
He discovered that his mission intermediary frequented the Prison Military camps and military bases. So, taking a risk, he captured and interrogated several members of the Prison Military, and found that many of the camps housed demons disguised as soldiers.
These demons were bizarre, their brains were severely malformed, making it impossible to think normally, but their brains had been implanted with biological and quantum chips that allowed them to remain rational.
Fei Yunlai not only captured the dissection videos of these demons but also preserved the various chips and organic tissues extracted from their bodies.
Lastly, he made a short video narrating the circumstances of his own framing, his expression extremely aggrieved.
Luo Wangshu took a long time to finish watching the videos. Afterward, she took a deep breath, suppressing the irritability and malice in her heart, "When Master Wei died, I was very puzzled. His cultivation was not only at the eighth Imperial rank, but he also had some secretive techniques unknown to others. Even if he was injured, how could Fei Yunlai have dealt with him?
The espionage department investigated for half a month and claimed that Fei Yunlai was extremely cunning and malicious. Not only did he trigger Master Wei's injuries with a Secret Technique beforehand, but he also used two Type-8 Heavenly Demon Mechas to aid him. Due to Master Wei's complacency, he fell into Fei Yunlai's trap.
I was dissatisfied and had Wei Tianxiong and Yan Zhe look into it, but these two fools couldn't figure anything out. They said that based on the available evidence, the judgment of the espionage department was correct. It's like being played with by someone behind the scenes."
Wei Tianxiong is Luo Wangshu's senior disciple, currently an eighth-rank Imperial sage, holding the office of a third-rank Grand Celestial, and just a few steps away from becoming a second-rank candidate Divine Envoy.
Such a person couldn't possibly be a fool.
It's just that the case was executed perfectly and cleanly, leaving no loopholes for Wei Tianxiong and others to exploit.
Luo Wangshu then clenched her fists tightly, unleashing a powerful surge of Qi: "I have suspected several forces afterward but never thought it would be Qi Wuji, that scum!"
Mainly because there were no conflicts of interest between her and Qi Wuji. The relationship between Major General Wei Jian and Qi Wuji was also quite good. Although the two were colleagues, Wei Jian was nearing the end of his career and posed no threat to Qi Wuji.
Luo Wangshu then stared fixedly at Lin Rui, feeling both grateful and relieved.
She thought it was fortunate that heaven had sent this disciple to her side; otherwise, they would have struggled to find the real culprit, and Master Wei could not have rested in peace.
However, she still had some doubts: "Little Hao Hao, are all these pieces of evidence from Fei Yunlai? How did you come into contact with him? And why bring it out only now?"
Lin Rui replied calmly, "Previously in Wang City, didn't Sister Meng encounter Fei Yunlai? They both were injured in the confrontation. After Sister Meng's injuries somewhat improved, she searched around Wang City for his whereabouts but ultimately couldn't find him.
She thought Fei Yunlai had fled Wang City, but just as I was about to go to Luo Capital for my appointment, Fei Yunlai sought me out privately and handed these pieces of evidence to me. He believed I had enough authority to help him and, possessing an iron bone, feared no power and might be able to clear his name."
Lin Rui's face showed a hint of guilt: "I guess he was driven to desperation by being on the imperial wanted list. He turned to me for help. Unfortunately, at that time, I lacked the power to apprehend him. As for why I'm only bringing it out now—"
He glanced at Luo Wangshu, smiling sheepishly, "I wasn't aware of the relationship between Major General Wei Jian and Master. I also wasn't sure if Master was involved in Fei Yunlai's case. I couldn't possibly harm my own people over an external Heavenly Demon, so I thought I'd suppress this case for a while, head to the capital to see the situation, and then decide what to do."
Luo Wangshu couldn't help but laugh silently, extending a hand to touch Lin Rui's delicately handsome face: "Good boy!"
This child has strategies, decisiveness, abilities, luck, adaptability—and is also very reliable!
Her expression then became stern, "So where is Yuan Chengkai?"
"In the ninth level Black Prison of the Divine Prison Department," Lin Rui's expression was somber. "I have already instructed the Divine Prison Department to enhance his protection. Master, I previously took the initiative to get these evidences and have promised Yuan Chengkai to let him join the Sin Army to atone for his crimes."
It must be mentioned that although the environment of the ninth level Black Prison is harsh, it is indeed safe.
"This scoundrel committed such heinous crimes, knowing that the ninth Divine Envoy candidate colluded with the Purgatory and the Heavenly Demons beyond the realm, yet consistently pretended ignorance without reporting to the divine spirits. Such a betrayer of the gods, he still thinks he can live?"
Luo Wangshu first scoffed coldly, then soon thought, this might be good. With this man, the gods could understand who these so-called 'Empire Party' members really are.
With this incident, how could the gods not harbor doubts towards the Emperor?
Of course, whether this man could live or not depends on how the gods decide, and if those offended by Yuan Chengkai are willing.
Luo Wangshu turned to the Dragon Guard Captain Jing Yuefang and Deputy Captain Su Xinmei and said, "Jing Yuefang, take people to the Divine Prison Department again, bring this scoundrel over, and accompany me to meet the gods in the Divine Palace. Xinmei, you are in charge of summoning the Third Divine Guard Army to stand by."
Besides wielding significant power in the Divine Envoy Watch and Imperial City Department, Luo Wangshu also directly controlled the Third Divine Guard Army.
Each of the three Divine Guard armies has only three thousand people but all transformed into dragons, with strong combat capabilities and a status above all other armies!
Lou Wangshu then sighed lightly, "It's a pity, you investigated this case a bit too late. If it had happened before the Divine Merit Order, perhaps the gods would have granted you two more drops of 'Divine Gifted Blood'."
But it is also good, this case cleared up the issues, perfectly verifying the gods' wisdom in judging people.
It's amusing that she was even ready today to advise her disciple to somewhat restrain his sharp edges.
Luo Wangshu had prepared his reasons: although the Heavenly Demons outside the realm certainly needed to be eradicated, one must also pay attention to the methods, guard one's own safety, and have a far-sighted vision.
Yet when they met that evening, Luo Wangshu couldn't help but start a massacre.
This was not merely because of hatred. The 'Prison Suppressing Army' was crucial for the Great Song Dynasty and could not afford any mishaps.
If there were issues with the Prison Suppressing Army, the Purgatory Army might advance directly to the surface, bringing disaster to all peoples of the vast Eastern Zhou of the heavens.
So, as one can imagine, the gods would definitely place more importance on Lin Hao even without rewards.
In terms of the vocabulary brought by the Heavenly Demons, it would be 'Valued in the Minds of Gods'.
Lin Rui, curious about the gods' decrees, asked with a puzzled expression, "Master, why did the gods suddenly grant me the Divine Merit Order and Divine Gifted Blood today? This isn't quite the same as what you mentioned before."
"I am not very clear about this matter either,"
Luo Wangshu shook his head slightly, "I can only roughly guess that it might be related to the changing situation in West State. It seems something big has occurred there; two Divine Envoy candidates fell at Tianyuan, dying mysteriously.
And given the current situation, it seems that the three Deeps of Purgatory are starting to stir, and a Purgatory Demon Tide is likely to erupt soon. Thus, the great god has taken precautionary measures, wishing to elevate some capable individuals. Little Hao Hao, since you entered the capital, your actions have been decisive and sharp, coincidentally catching the great god's eye, and it happened that the god awoke from slumber today."
Lin Rui, upon hearing this, was moved and recalled the papers by Professor Han and some other big names in the humanities and historical academia.
They speculated that the current three Deeps of Purgatory might all be native to the surface.
These three Deeps achieved enlightenment tens of thousands of years ago, oppressed by the five Great Deeps, and were forced to hide in the Deeps, repeatedly inciting Demon Tides to challenge the five Great Deeps of the surface world.
This might also be the process of Deep replacement across generations.
Unfortunately, the history of these three Deeps has long been erased by some of the gods on the surface, so the truth has long been untraceable.
