After Lin Rui sent Han Yuanba away, he sat in the lobby of the mansion, looking silently at the photos sent to him by Wang Tianwu.

He wondered what the Eastern Abyss was doing with his horoscope. He clearly had no intention of getting involved in this hot potato, but the Eastern Abyss forced him to hold it in his hands.

This thing is somewhat useful to Lin Rui, but not very useful.

He has already reached the abyss and has mastered the concept of the abyss, so he is not very anxious to conceptualize martial arts.

"What happened?"

Lin Xi sat beside him and asked suspiciously, "Brother, how did you get injured? And it's so serious. Also, why is the city under martial law today?"

Ever since Lin Rui was sent back to their home by Luo Wangshu, she has been asking about the cause and details of the incident.

However, due to the gag order from above, Lin Xi is still confused. It may involve extraterritorial demons and the Demon Cult. Several battles have taken place outside the city, and martial law has been imposed inside the city.

The others present, including Shangguan Tianyi, Ji Xueying, Lu Hanyuan, Wang Sen and others, also looked at Lin Rui with puzzled eyes.

They were equally worried and extremely curious.

Lin Rui rubbed his forehead and gradually calmed down.

This thing cannot be handed over like this, but I have to think of a solution with Master.

Lin Rui thought that even if he had to hand it over, he couldn't do it directly. He had to find someone to die in his place.

Now, the blame can only be borne by the Holy Church of Light.

"I'm fine. Although my injury is a bit serious, it's not a major injury."

Lin Rui shook his head and sighed: "As for the cause of this matter, it is not convenient for me to tell you now. When I have a chance to leave the city later, you will naturally know the truth. Now I don’t know whether I am unlucky or lucky——"

The people in front of him were undoubtedly trustworthy people. Including Lu Hanyuan, they all knew Lin Rui's identity as an alien traveler, and even knew that Lin Rui had mastered the concept of the abyss.

They and Lin Rui share the same fate, and their lives are linked together.

Next, he needs to properly dispose of the fragments of the divine monument, and he still has to rely on the help of his relatives and friends.

When the people present heard this, they had different thoughts.

Lu Hanyuan thought that this General Lin was not just Lin Hao, the commander of the Assassination Bureau. He must be hiding some very shocking secrets.

Ji Xueying clenched her two swords tightly, thinking that she must transform into a dragon as soon as possible!

Otherwise, she would be unable to help when her master is in danger.

Shangguan Tianyi was filled with regret. She should have followed him at that time. Even if she was scolded by the third divine messenger, she would still stay close to her master.

I must take this as a warning and never be careless again.

Also, it would be great if Teacher Xianyu could join the master's team. With the two of them around, no one can endanger the master's life.

At this time, Lin Rui received another message from Li Jianglong.

Li Jianglong: Lin Rui, how are you now? Are your injuries serious?
Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): I’m fine, I was protected by the Sky-Shaping Umbrella and wasn’t hurt at all.

He was simply hit by a huge force that far exceeded his own realm, and his body could not withstand it. He was not directly harmed by the power and martial spirit of Elder Wanxin.

Li Jianglong: It's good that you are not injured. This time you have been implicated by our actions. This is considered a work-related injury. You can go to the special supply center of our Safety Bureau to receive "two bottles of level 8 highly concentrated repair nutrient solution."

Li Jianglong: Also, your Grand Astrologer of the Divine Palace recently used 'astrology' on the fragments of the Abyss Divine Monument. We want to know the specific content, so you can try to pay attention to it.

Lin Rui thought, I know this, should I tell him?
He thought about it carefully and replied: I just heard about this. It is said that the Great Astronomical Master not only used astrology, but also went back in time in the Palace of the Gods. It is said that he was interfered with by the unknown power of the abyss and failed. He only divined that the fragments of the divine stele were still in the territory of the Song Dynasty, within ten thousand miles of Luojing City.

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): However, as far as I know, very few people know the result of this divination. Please pay attention to this, Commander-in-Chief.

Li Jianglong: Very good! This news is very important. I'll record your SSS+ level merit!
At this moment, in the secret base of the Security Bureau 20,000 miles away, Li Jianglong gripped the hilt of the sword, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He wished he could mobilize his troops right now and wipe out all the high-ranking members of the Demon Sect within 5000 kilometers of Luojing City.

However, in order to prevent Lin Rui's identity from being revealed, he had to change his statement.

Li Jianglong glanced around at the numerous members of the Nine Realms Federation present. "Old Man Wanxin died 2800 kilometers east of Luojing City. He probably didn't have time to send the fragment of the Abyssal Divine Monument away. We will search from this location as the center. We must not miss any suspicious individuals or any clues within a 5000-mile radius."

——They had previously made this judgment, and the information provided by Lin Rui confirmed this.

As expected, the decree from the Divine Envoy Supervisor was issued shortly afterwards and delivered to Lin Rui's residence by a second-rank eunuch.

The God's Supervisor spoke sternly and ordered him to cooperate with the third God's Envoy Luo Wangshu to recover all the fragments of the God's Stele within six months, otherwise he would be severely punished.

Not only was he authorized to mobilize the Shen Ce Guard and Jin Wu Guard, all departments of the Imperial City Administration, and all local county and state troops, but anyone below the third rank in the Song Dynasty who dared to obstruct his investigation would be executed first and reported later, and anyone above the third rank would be suspended and detained.

If purgatory is involved, then Lin Rui can also mobilize the four armies of the sky and the abyss: the 'Prison Army', the 'Sky and the Abyss Army', the 'Demon Army' and the 'Sin Army'!

The Divine Envoy even gave him the command of a battalion of Divine Guards.

The Divine Guard Army consisted of ten battalions, each with three hundred Divine Guards, all of whom were at the Sixth Realm Dragon Transformation! There were also many Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm masters.

——That is the powerful divine army that the Divine Palace selected talented young men who had lost their homes from all over the Song Dynasty, and then cultivated by the Abyss of the East with the power of the abyss.

The selection of Divine Guards seems to be similar to that of Dragon Guards, and there are almost no eliminated candidates, but it is actually more cruel.

As far as Lin Rui knew, these divine guards had almost no self-thinking and were dull and wooden.

Along with the imperial edict, there were also various tiger seals, tokens and seals, totaling more than twenty pieces.

Lin Rui thought that it was no wonder that the decree from the Divine Envoy Prison took so long. It really took some time to prepare these things.

It can be seen that the God was extremely furious about the theft of the divine tablet. In order to investigate the case of the theft of the divine tablet, he actually gave so much power, which is simply unheard of.

At least as far as Lin Rui knows, there has never been such a case since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, after two hours of breathing exercises and recuperation, Lin Rui's injuries had just begun to improve.

After receiving the imperial edict, he had to drag his "sick body" to the Imperial City Office and begin arranging the search for the fragments of the Abyss Divine Stele.

Lin Rui thought to himself, what the hell is this? This thing is in his hands.

How should I investigate this case? I don't know.

However, he still put on a stern and cold expression and summoned the supervisors of the twenty-four prisons of the Divine Envoy Prison, all the leaders of the Imperial City Bureau, and all the officers of the Jinwu Guard and the Divine Strategy Guard to the main hall of the Traitor Investigation Bureau where he worked.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen first- and second-grade cultivators in the hall, as well as dozens of ninth- and eighth-level martial artists. However, they all had solemn expressions and did not dare to show any disrespect.

Almost everyone in the hall knew that Lin Hao had been promoted to the fourth-rank "Rampant General" and was granted a fourth-rank priesthood by God, so no one dared to be presumptuous.

A very small number of them knew that the First Divine Envoy and the Emperor were whipped by the Eastern Abyss in front of many Ninth Realm Martial Artists, and that the Third Divine Envoy Luo Wangshu was also punished to face the wall.

However, after Lin Hao angered the gods, his official position was promoted instead of demoted, which was even more rare.

This shows that the God has become more trusting of the Commander of the Assassination Bureau, and Lin Hao has also clearly taken a step forward in the succession order of the God's Envoys.

Moreover, although the imperial edict stated that Lin Hao was to cooperate with Luo Wangshu in assisting the Divine Envoy, Luo Wangshu, the third Divine Envoy, had to stay in the capital to handle all government affairs of the Divine Envoy and the Imperial City Administration, and he was usually very busy.

Therefore, the person who will ultimately be in charge of clearing out the Holy Church of Light and the Heavenly Demon can only be Lin Hao, as they are currently being managed by this person.

Since the matter of the divine tablet could not be leaked, the order these people received was to cooperate with Lin Hao in searching for the Holy Church of Light and the extraterritorial demons.

The atmosphere in the main hall was solemn, and Lin Rui's mood also became heavy. He held the teacup handed to him by Shangguan Tianyi and said in a cold voice: "The main purpose is to search for the Demon Cult, but the extraterritorial demons must not be spared either. You should know that these remnants of the Demon Cult colluded with the extraterritorial demons and attacked and killed the envoys of four countries outside my Luojing City. They simply do not take my Great Song Dynasty seriously!"

"From now on, within the 15,000-li radius around Luojing City, there must be a checkpoint every ten miles and a sentry every hundred steps. Passing people and supplies must be strictly inspected. All suspicious individuals must be questioned thoroughly. Anyone with any connection to the Holy Church of Light or the Heavenly Demons must be sent to the capital—"

Lin Rui took a sip of tea and thought to himself that this was really endless. When would the prices of Tianjixing bulk materials in the base city come down?

Lin Rui sighed secretly, his voice becoming even more stern. "Pay special attention to the passing supplies. The Ministry of Industry and the Divine Affairs Palace are urgently crafting a batch of talismans. They will be used for induction and detection. As soon as the talismans sense anything, you must notify me and the Third Divine Envoy immediately. This matter is of great importance. Anyone who dares to neglect it and let the evil cult's evildoers escape will be killed without a burial place!"

"In addition, we must impose a no-fly zone. All flying instruments within and outside Luojing City must be mobilized to seal off the sky within a 12000-li radius. No demonic vessels or instruments are allowed to pass through the sky. The Divine Palace above will also cooperate with us—"

As Lin Rui was speaking here, he saw two slim women walking in from outside the hall. They looked inside from the doorway and then stood outside the hall waiting.

They were actually Luo Wangshu's Dragon Guard Captain Jing Yuefang and Deputy Captain Su Xinmei.

Lin Rui immediately understood that these two people must be worried about Luo Wangshu and came to him to inquire about the situation.

He suddenly had an idea and thought of Luo Wangshu's eight-dragon chariot. If he wanted to send the three fragments of the Abyss Divine Stele to the capital, then Luo Wangshu's eight-dragon chariot would be the most suitable vehicle.
