Chapter 220 The Fourth Holy Son (Three more updates, please subscribe)

When the incident happened, King Yin Qianqiu was away on an important business trip.

However, when he sensed something was wrong, he put down what he was doing and returned to the headquarters without hesitation.

When Yin Qianqiu arrived at the back garden of the main altar, at the altar used to enshrine the 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire', he saw that the top of this pyramid-shaped, majestic and imposing altar was releasing vast light and heat.

The ball of 'Holy Thunder Fire' that was emitting infinite light and was in the shape of a lotus once again fell into a state of extreme violence.

Not only are the three elemental forces of light, thunder, and fire extremely rich, but there is also an extremely powerful force from the abyss condensed here.

The rules of the surrounding heaven and earth have been distorted beyond recognition. Countless powerful lightning and fire, as well as beams of blazing red rays are released from the "Holy Thunder Fire", blasting all matter that comes into contact with it into slag.

Beneath the altar, the thousands of followers of the Holy Light Church who were worshipping and meditating there all had expressions of confusion and panic on their faces.

The several high priests and deputy high priests sitting here all had pale faces and solemn expressions.

The Holy Church of Light uses cultivators of the fourth realm as high priests, cultivators of the fifth realm as chief priests, cultivators of the sixth realm as great chief priests, cultivators of the seventh realm as capital chief priests, and cultivators of the eighth realm as red-robed chief priests.

There are also the 'Three Pillars, Five Envoys, and Seven Kings', all of whom are above the Eight Realms and each governs one side.

When the believers and the chief priests below the altar saw Yin Qianqiu's brilliant figure, they all put their hands on their shoulders and bowed their heads in worship.

"We pay our respects to the King of Light. May your highness's bright light illuminate the heavens and earth, and with boundless holy thunder and boundless calamity fire, split the earth and open the sky!"

Yin Qianqiu ignored the worship of the believers below. He hovered in the air next to the "Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire", trying his best to comfort it while concentrating on sensing it.

He then raised his head in surprise: "How could this happen?"

"King Ming!"

He was a chief priest of the Seventh Realm, approximately eighty years old. He frowned, his brows heavy with worry. "The Fifth Saint, Xu Zhe, died. At the same time, the Seventh Saint ascended to the Fourth Saint. I have reason to suspect that the Seventh Saint killed Xu Zhe and swallowed his essence."

At this moment, the three thousand believers below the altar were in an uproar and looked at each other in confusion.

They only knew that this 'Holy Thunder Fire' might have sensed something and that's why something unexpected happened, but they didn't know the details.

After hearing the words of the chief priest, my heart was even more shocked.

The Fifth Holy Son, Xu Zhe, was actually dead? And perhaps he was killed by the unidentified Seventh Holy Son?
"This is just our speculation. If this is indeed the case, Your Majesty, please expel this Fourth Holy Son from the ranks of Holy Sons!"

At this moment, another chief priest bowed down, his expression filled with anger, hatred, and sorrow. "This is fratricide, which is intolerable to the world. This evil precedent must never be set again!"

However, beside him, another young chief priest sneered, "What a joke! The Holy Thunder and Tribulation Fire is our sect's supreme sacred artifact. It possesses immense wisdom and can discern good from evil. If it were truly a case of fratricide, the Holy Thunder and Tribulation Fire would have expelled the Seventh Saint Son long ago. How could they have allowed him to ascend to the Fourth Saint Son? What do you mean by 'not tolerated by the light'? I see you're resentful because your own nephews died, and you're speaking such absurd words."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report!"

Among the chief priests, the oldest one also had a solemn expression. "The Seventh Holy Son is different from the other Holy Sons. All the other Holy Sons of our sect dripped their blood into the altar and, through our secret methods, obtained the permission of the Holy Thunder and Tribulation Fire to achieve the status of Holy Son. However, the Seventh Holy Son is different. He was found by the Holy Thunder and Tribulation Fire."

The chief priest, with his white beard, was extremely old and experienced, so his words were blunt. "I still remember the day when the Seventh Saint Son ascended to power. The Supreme Sacred Artifact reacted extremely violently. This person might be someone who could truly bear the Holy Thunder and Fire! It's the same today, which shows how much the Holy Thunder and Fire desire him. Therefore, Your Majesty, please make sure to understand the cause of today's matter and handle it properly."

Ming Wang Yin Qianqiu frowned: "I understand!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking southeast. "The most urgent thing is to get to the bottom of this! We need to investigate the identity of the Seventh—no! Fourth—Saint Son. We also need to investigate Xu Zhe's whereabouts. Where was he before, and where did he go before his death?"

Perhaps the identity and location of the Fourth Holy Son can be determined through Xu Zhe's whereabouts before his death.

At the Mingde University Martial Arts Club, Sima Lin was examining Lin Rui's body.

"——Physical index 819 points, Qi index 822 points, Mental index 1223 points!"

Sima Lin was amazed at the test data: "It seems that your physical fitness has improved a lot these days. The assimilation effect is so strong that you are getting closer and closer to the level of major.

Your mental strength index is growing particularly fast, only a little over 100 points away. I guess you'll be able to implant your golden elixir soon after school starts. Hmm? Your alien body has even awakened the 'Immortal Divine Sun'. Do you want to implant a colonization suit? This is an SSS-rated colonization suit. The intermediate version costs 2800 million, more expensive than the 'Blood Sun Heavenly Yuan'.

Lin Rui thought, of course he wanted colonial clothing!
This is the awakened blood talent of his alien body, and there is no additional mental burden after the colonization.

What's more, after he exchanged for the Divine Breath Technique, his mental strength has been greatly improved.

"I won't use the basic version this time, I'll just go for the full version. However, I checked the Sky Blue Group's colonial equipment warehouse, and it seems they don't have the full version of 'Immortal Sun'?"

Sima Lin raised the corners of his lips when he heard this, thinking that this child must be rich and can now be implanted with a complete version of the SSS-level colonization suit.

"This needs to be made on the spot. Generally, few cultivators in colonial suits come to buy the Sky Blue Group's top-tier colonial suits. However, Sky Blue Biological Group is authorized by the East Asian Academy of Biological Sciences and can share the manufacturing technology and process flow of the 34599 types of colonial suits researched by the East Asian Academy of Biological Sciences. They possess the ability to produce any imperial-grade and super-imperial-grade colonial suits, so there's no technical problem."

"You can open the customization page of the mall, or contact their sales department directly and pay a deposit of 5000 million first. I can personally supervise the manufacturing for you and make some special adjustments based on your body." Lin Rui felt a little uneasy when he heard Sima Lin say this.

Is Tianlan Group’s craftsmanship good enough?
However, he felt a little relieved when he heard that Sima Lin would personally supervise the adjustment.

In fact, he had no choice. Since he had signed a contract with the Tianlan Group, he could only choose this company's colonial clothing.

Moreover, judging from the 'Blood Sun Tian Yuan' implanted by the Blood Knife Princess, the colonial clothing manufacturing technology of the Sky Blue Group is actually quite good and there is no problem in using it.

Their colonial clothing manufacturing technology has reached a very high threshold, but their brand awareness is not enough to enter the high-end colonial clothing market.

Moreover, the discounts given to him by Tianlan Group were really great. He could buy it for 28000 million. If he changed to other companies, the starting price would be at least 4 million!
Lin Rui opened his personal account and found that there was only a little over 1550 million in it.

When he arrived at Tianji Star last night, he withdrew all his money. As a result, he only earned this little throughout the whole day. It can be seen that his popularity is getting lower and lower.

However, just as Lin Rui was about to apply for a loan, a cash sum of 180 million yuan came in.

Fenghuo Liancheng (Han Kedao): Lin Rui, I have already sold some of your things for you. This is the first income, but this money is not taxed. You can find an accounting firm to see if they can help you save money.

Lin Rui got a headache when he thought about paying taxes. He hadn't paid taxes on the more than 5 million federal coins before.

I really need to find an accounting firm.

Taxes must be paid, but you should save as much as possible within the legal and compliant scope.

The Ninth Base is a condominium-managed city, and the tax law applies to the Earth Federation system. The taxes on the rich seem very heavy, but in fact there are too many ways to avoid taxes, so the real tax burden is borne by the middle and lower classes of society.

The rich people in the East Asian Republic are in a miserable situation. There is no such thing as tax evasion, so the rich people there all run away, especially to the two condominium cities.

When Lin Rui paid the deposit, he received a message from Tianlan Biological Group.

Tianlan Biological Group: Hello, distinguished Diamond VIP member, our company has received your deposit of 5000 million federal coins. Your colonization suit 'Immortal Divine Sun' has entered the production process and is expected to be completed within 5 days. Please follow our group's official account to learn about the progress of your colonization suit production.

Next, Lin Rui transferred another 2000 million to Wang Sen, and Wang Sen immediately replied.

Weird Young Man (Wang Sen): Brother Rui, what’s going on with this money?

Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): What else could it be? You also contributed to Qin Yan's cave this time. This is my red envelope for you.

All of Professor Han’s students benefited from Qin Yan’s operation in the cave, gaining both fame and fortune, except for Wang Sen, who gained very little.

Weird Young Man (Wang Sen): Brother Rui, this isn't appropriate. I was just digging. I didn't take any risks, and I didn't put in any effort. How dare you accept a red envelope? I've already returned the money.

Lin Rui looked at the 2000 million funds that were transferred back and couldn't help but sigh. This little fat guy is quite stubborn.

The problem is that if he wants to go to Beijing next time, he must bring Wang Sen with him.

It is not easy to find a helper like Wang Sen who is both reliable and capable.

For example, it is impossible for Lin Rui to keep an eye on the public security in Wangcheng County every day, and because of her identity as a demon, Blood Knife Princess cannot help him command the many subordinates in Wangchengdu.

It would be much easier now with Wang Sen's help.

However, Wang Sen’s current combat power is not enough. Even Lin Rui would feel exhausted if he went there now, let alone Wang Sen?
Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): Take it! Build up your spiritual power and colonial equipment as quickly as possible, then find a way to hunt down the demons and return them to me. Instead of taking out a loan, why not borrow from me? At least it's interest-free.

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): From what I heard from Meng Weiyun's words just now, it should be almost certain that I will become the disciple of the Third Divine Envoy. In three to five months at the latest, I will be promoted and assigned to Luojing. You will come with me then.

Wang Guying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Wang Sen, you'd better pass the Tianmo test within half a year. The path you are taking now requires a lot of money. If it's not enough, ask me for more.

Only if Wang Sen passed the demon test, he could arrange a good position for him.
This time he transferred the money back, and Wang Sen never talked about returning the money to him.

Weird Young Man (Wang Sen): Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wang Sen's screen was filled with exclamation marks, thinking that Brother Rui was too awesome. Was he going to be promoted to the fifth rank, Mingwei Xiaowei?

Although he was also a captain, he was given the title of "Mingwei" and his rank was the fifth grade, officially entering the ranks of high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty.

In the East Asian republic, it is the difference between central-level cadres and provincial-level cadres.

Or just become the disciple of the third envoy of God!
They are the brothers of God, the direct descendants of the abyss!

It is conceivable that once Brother Rui comes to Beijing, his power and position will definitely be considerable.
