Chapter 517 Demon Slayer Order (Subscription Request)
At dusk the next day, Lin Rui led a group of people from the Honglu Temple and followed the second divine envoy's carriage to Huishenpo outside the city.

The arrival of the Second Divine Envoy was completely unexpected by the Honglu Temple. He had never expressed his intention to participate in welcoming the Demon President before. It was when they were preparing to leave the city today that the Second Divine Envoy suddenly decided to attend, which caught the staff of the Honglu Temple somewhat off guard.

Cao Xi, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, guessed that this was most likely the will of the gods, and temporarily instructed the second envoy to come.

The Second Divine Envoy has an extremely high status in the presence of the gods, second only to the Emperor, the Grand Astrologer and the First Divine Envoy. This reception standard will not overly humiliate the Demon King, but it will not include too much courtesy either.

It can be seen that although the gods are extremely angry with these demons, they are unwilling to lose their courtesy and composure.

Cao Xi admired Lin Hao even more in his heart, thinking that it was thanks to this Lord Lin that he was able to obtain the third-rank priesthood in just half a year, and he understood the will of God even better.

At this time, Lin Rui was sitting in a flying car that was recently awarded by the God's Messenger, studying a document that Li Li sent to him using his Ten Thousand Miles Flying Book.

The document came from Wang Chenghua, the commander of the Demon Extermination Bureau who was in charge of the demon suppression affairs in the northern part of Jingzhou.

He first apologized to him, saying that his 70,000 demon-suppressing troops had encountered obstacles and some minor setbacks in Xuanhua County and Tiantong County.

Wang Chenghua also asked Lin Rui for help, requesting Lin Rui to send more experts and military forces, preferably to mobilize a battalion of the Divine Guards, and to issue a "Demon Slaying Order" at the same time.

He believed that these two counties had been deeply demonized, and almost all the people in the counties had become demons and defected to the Bright Demon Cult.

In order to completely purify Xuanhua County and Tiantong County and eradicate the remaining poison of the Demon Cult, it is necessary to massacre the people of these two counties.

After receiving the document from Wang Chenghua, Li Li did not dare to act on his own and immediately passed the document to Lin Rui for review.

Lin Rui also had to deal with this urgent official business on the way to Huishenpo.

He thought that Wang Chenghua was really cruel. Could he just issue the "Demon Slaying Order" casually?

It was a highest-level massacre order specifically aimed at areas that were severely demonized, or deeply infected by the power of Purgatory, and where the situation was completely out of control.

Once this "Demon Slaying Order" is issued, everyone in this area, regardless of age, will be slaughtered.

By then, there will be more than 9 million people in these two counties, and I am afraid that few will survive.

Lin Rui directly turned on the quantum communication and checked the relevant information in the internal database of the Federal Security Bureau.

The reason why he was fearless and not afraid of the second envoy of God in the car in front was because of the flying car he was riding in.

This flying car bestowed by the Divine Envoy Supervisor was built by the Internal Manufacturing Supervisor under the Divine Affairs Office. It has extremely high defensive capabilities and is considered a large-scale magical weapon of the eighth-level super-emperor level.

However, given Lin Rui's cautious nature, he wouldn't be so stupid as to not be on guard against the things given by the higher-ups.

A few days ago, Lin Rui sent the Holy Maiden of the Machine God Temple to Tianji Star and asked Wang Yinyue to disassemble and modify the flying car according to the formation drawings he designed.

During this period, we actually discovered many problems inside this large magical weapon.

This also made Lin Rui worried about his own Demon Dragon Armor 'Tian Zhi', so he asked Wang Yinyue to check it for him as well.

Coincidentally, Wang Yinyue was also involved in the production of "Tianzhi". She checked the inside of "Tianzhi" and found no problems, but one of the most critical functions was locked.

This item was specially made as a tribute for the Eastern Abyss. Although it was only at the seventh level, the Mecha Temple still incorporated their research on the abyss into it.

They embedded a 'divine will' device within 'divine command', which could strengthen the concept of abyss to the utmost extent. According to their own estimates, it should be able to increase the power of various complete abyss concepts by another 30%.

Unfortunately, Wang Yinyue’s body is sealed now, and his alien body’s cultivation is insufficient and his strength is not enough, so he is temporarily unable to unlock the device.

Lin Rui felt regretful but also very much looking forward to it. If he could possess a more powerful concept of purity, he would even be able to lift the divine ban on the two Dragon Guard captains around Luo Wangshu!
In short, with the defensive strength of this flying car, as long as Lin Rui does not tinker with powers and tools above the ninth level in it, no matter what he does in it, he does not have to worry about being discovered.

Lin Rui was looking up various intelligence information about Xuanhua County and Tiantong County. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly and he answered Xue Lingxue's video call, so that Xue Lingxue's figure was projected directly in front of him.

The traffic charges of the Alien Management Bureau are very expensive, and video calls are even more expensive. However, as a general in the Security Bureau, Lin Rui can enjoy a certain amount of free traffic every month.

Lin Rui rubbed his forehead. "Xiaoxue, I need you to quickly dispatch some personnel to Xuanhua and Tiantong counties in northern Jingzhou to conduct a detailed investigation. I want to know the details of the rebellion there, as well as the situation of the Holy Church of Light there." "I'll arrange it right away," Xue Lingxue agreed, then looked suspicious. "Boss, the Eight Heluo States have always been the focus of our Security Bureau's surveillance. The information in our database regarding this area should be very reliable."

So why another detailed investigation?

"It's just a little unbelievable." Lin Rui shook his head: "Wang Chenghua led his army to wipe out the Holy Bright Church. The entire Xuanhua and Tiantong counties rebelled, and the entire population mobilized to fight. Remember, this was near Luojing, less than 9000 miles away.

How could the Holy Church of Light have such a high reputation here? These people should have known the consequences of defying the imperial court: they would surely perish! Even so, they were still determined to raise their flags, and millions of them rose up simultaneously.

Wang Chenghua was a capable man. He led an army of 70,000 to suppress the rebellion. Initially, the local people were completely unprepared. It was not until they entered the city of Xuanhua County that millions of believers in the Light in the two counties suddenly raised the banner of rebellion, and the entire county and city rebelled.

Despite being caught off guard and surrounded by enemies on all sides, Wang Chenghua was able to withdraw nearly 80% of his 70,000 troops.

The reason why this person applied for the Demon-Slaying Order was probably not just to vent his anger due to the heavy casualties among his subordinates, but also because he felt that the situation in the two counties was indeed too bad and he wanted to solve the problem once and for all and prevent the Holy Church of Light from continuing to spread to the surrounding areas.

What is surprising is that in the past three years, the taxes paid by Xuanhua and Tiantong counties each year have exceeded the quota of the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court, and only one medium-sized "demon disaster" has been reported. As a result, the Ministry of Personnel's evaluation of the performance of officials in the two places is unanimously "excellent" or "upper middle", and the captain stationed in the local area by the Imperial City Bureau has always reported that the local area is peaceful.

——This is exactly why Wang Chenghua was caught off guard.

"I see!" Xue Lingxue said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "Actually, I have some knowledge of what's happening in the north of Jingzhou. Two people in my team just returned from there. They said that the reason the Holy Church of Light has been so prevalent in the two counties is, on the one hand, because the previous local officials were too abusive and exploited the local people too harshly; on the other hand, it is because the 'Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy' who is in charge of local religious affairs is very skilled and compassionate.

This woman took over religious affairs in the northern part of Jingzhou five years ago. In just a few years, she has greatly improved the lives of local believers, especially in Xuanhua and Tiantong counties. For three consecutive years, no one has died of starvation, and there have been few cases of demonic invasions. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are prosperous and safe. Therefore, this woman has won the deep trust and love of the local people. According to our Federation, she is a Buddha to all families.

Lin Rui looked up the information about the 'Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy' again, then nodded slightly: "This woman is indeed a character."

Judging from her actions, she first expanded her cult on a large scale, and then used millions of followers to force local officials to cooperate. She obtained local autonomy on the condition that they paid taxes in full every year. She also joined forces with some officials to eliminate local tyrants and distribute land equally in the local area.

These things sound simple, but in fact, to accomplish them, a certain amount of skill and wisdom is required.

The business talent of this 'Heavenly Fragrance Envoy' is incomparable to those officials who only know how to exploit the people.

According to intelligence from the Security Bureau, this woman cooperated with several federal trading companies, planted various cash crops locally, and operated a large number of businesses, raising the taxes to be paid to the court solely through commercial means.

"So, the people of these two counties are probably worried that after the imperial court resumes rule, their lives will return to the state they were in a few years ago, a state worse than death. And those who received land from the Holy Church of Light are also afraid of being liquidated by the government."

Xue Lingxue's eyes showed a hint of sympathy. "Boss, just check the situation in the two counties five years ago and you'll know. It was no different from hell on earth."

"The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?"

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes: "But this matter is still very wrong! Send a few capable people to investigate."

"Yes! I understand!" Xue Lingxue's face became serious.

She also realized the problem. If the Tianxiang God Envoy really cared about his believers, he would not let the people rush to the blades of the imperial troops to die.

If she were really smart, she would know that inciting the people of these two counties to raise flags would do no good to the Holy Church of Light.

If Xue Lingxue was the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy, he would have ordered all the high-ranking members of the sect to evacuate the area as soon as possible and find a place to hide.

The court's crackdown was essentially a gust of wind. Once this gust of wind had passed, the Holy Church of Light could easily revive in the local area with the reputation built up by the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy.

After Lin Rui finished his correspondence with Xue Lingxue, he also wrote a reply to Wang Chenghua personally.

It is impossible to issue this "Demon Slaying Order" and we must be very cautious. However, given the situation in these two counties, we do need to increase our military strength.

Lin Rui promised to mobilize 200,000 soldiers from the surrounding states and 50,000 soldiers from the left army of the Yulin Guard to provide reinforcements. In addition, he would also mobilize at least 200 dragon transformation masters to come to Wang Chenghua's seat to receive orders.

Just when Lin Rui sent the letter using his 300,000-mile flying book, the flying car he was riding in had already stopped.

Lin Rui lifted the curtain and looked out, and found that the convoy had arrived at Huishenpo. From here, a huge Tianmo warship could be seen hovering to the south of Huishenpo.

That was none other than the Federation President's flagship - the 'Common Destiny', a converted Stellar-class battleship!
