Chapter 531: The Young Are To Be Feared (Subscribe)

The Temple of the Eastern Abyss is a floating island in the sky, covering an extremely large area of ​​more than 1,900 square kilometers, almost covering nearly half of the area of ​​Luojing City.

What is surprising is that most people in Luojing City cannot see the shrine, and this huge structure does not affect the sunlight.

The surrounding sunlight was distorted, a bit like the Federation's optical stealth system.

Luo Wangshu's eight-dragon flying chariot drove straight in and stopped in front of a giant temple built on a pyramid.

The shape of this building is very similar to the so-called "platform" in ancient East Asia. Stones and earth are piled up to form the "platform", and pavilions are built on it.

Lin Rui also withdrew his gaze from all around at this time.

He had just been admiring the scenery of the temple, and felt that it was truly magnificent and beautiful.

After the flying chariot came to a steady stop, Lin Rui discovered that the carriages of the Emperor and the other two divine messengers had also arrived, along with the third candidate divine messenger who was in charge of the divine messenger supervisory duty this month.

These people all had solemn expressions as they waited at the steps of the temple.

Lin Rui also saw the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Xi, who was holding his hands, half-bowed, and looked extremely respectful and terrified.

Lin Rui was slightly surprised when he saw this: "Master Cao, have you also been summoned by the gods?"

Cao Xi looked up at Lin Rui. He smiled bitterly inwardly, but with a look of honor on his face, he said, "Marquis Zhenguo, how could this humble official be qualified to be summoned by the God? I am here at the behest of the Grand Astronomical Master of the Divine Palace, in anticipation of the God's inquiry."

The second divine envoy stood in front and chuckled when he heard this: "The Marquis of Zhenguo is still unfamiliar with the rules of our dynasty. Currently, in the entire Song Dynasty, only the Son of Heaven, the Grand Astronomical Master, the three divine envoys, the twelve divine envoy candidates, and a group of Ninth Realm Emperors are qualified to come here to meet the God. The rest of the people, even those with cultivation as high as the Ninth Realm Super King, can only wait outside the palace. By the way—"

The second divine envoy said this, as if he suddenly remembered something, and looked back at Lin Rui behind him: "There are also princes of all generations, but now there is an exception, you, the Marquis of Zhenguo."

The expressions of the people present suddenly changed. The emperor's expression was cold and indifferent, while the first divine envoy had a strange look in his eyes.

Cao Xi bent over and lowered his eyes, hiding the shock and suspicion in his eyes.

The third candidate for divine envoy's expression changed at this moment, and he looked at Lin Rui: "Marquis Zhenguo, have you broken through the fifth realm and successfully transformed into a dragon?"

Lin Rui bowed towards him and said, "Indeed, I was lucky enough to successfully transform into a dragon at noon today."

Even after he turned into a dragon, he couldn't conceal his aura and couldn't hide it from others.

The third candidate for the divine envoy looked at Lin Hao intently, but found that he could not tell the true strength of this boy.

He really wanted to ask what level Lin Hao's bloodline talent had reached. However, this was presumptuous, and he himself would not answer this question.

The third candidate for divine envoy could only nod: "Young people are formidable!"

Just from the reactions of the Emperor and the first and second divine envoys beside him, it can be known that Lin Hao's bloodline power must be extraordinary.

Even though he was the only one asking questions here, in fact, the spiritual thoughts of these three people were scanning around Lin Hao.

However, with the third divine envoy standing nearby, and Lin Hao's own spiritual power and martial will were also quite formidable, it was estimated that these people would not be able to see through him.

Soon after, the sound of bells was heard from the temple above the pyramid-shaped stone platform.

Several people, including the emperor, looked solemn and walked up the stairs one by one.

Lin Rui thought that this was simply a waste of time. With their level of cultivation, they could climb these hundreds of steps in one step, but they had to walk inside step by step.

When he entered the temple, Lin Rui found that this huge hall was extremely empty, with only a cloud platform inside.

There were nine layers of pearl curtains and gauze curtains hanging in front of the platform. There seemed to be a person sitting inside, but the figure was too vague to be seen clearly.

Lin Rui finally knew who the Emperor and the envoys of God learned their behavior in the Prison of Gods from.

The difference is that the emperor and the gods' messengers are deliberately being mysterious, intending to give their subjects a sense of mystery, but this god really cannot be looked at for too long.

Lin Rui only took a glance inside and felt a sharp pain in his eyeballs, as if they were about to explode.

And the infinite divine power forced Lin Rui's soul to shrink together, shaking violently and almost breaking apart.

This should be because he did not bring the Abyss Source Core with him, otherwise the confrontation between gods would not be so unbearable.

In addition, he also saw a person sitting on a chair on the right side in front of the platform. The person was very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing an extremely luxurious and majestic robe of a first-grade priest, but his eyebrows and features were picturesque, his skin was as white as cream, and his demeanor was gentle and elegant. His eyes were exceptionally clear and pure, as if without a trace of impurities.

The man was looking at him, and after his eyes met his, he smiled and nodded in a friendly manner.

Lin Rui thought this must be the Grand Astronomical Master. He looked so young and full of vitality. It seemed that his good friend Han Baxian would have a hard time making a name for himself, and he would probably reach the pinnacle of his career by becoming the Red-robed High Priest.

After everyone had an audience with the emperor, the difference in their status became apparent. The emperor had a seat, which was on the left side of the Yuntai.

But just as the emperor was about to walk towards his seat, a voice rang out from within the platform: "Emperor, is Anguogong Du Xinran your trusted confidant?"

The voice of this god is difficult to describe. It is like the sound of a bell or the melody of nature. It is incomparably profound and majestic, and contains infinite power.

The emperor was startled, realizing the consequences of the blasphemy case.

The emperor knew that it was pointless to deny or prevaricate before the gods, so he bowed solemnly and said, "This man is my concubine's brother, so I used to trust him more!"

"As the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how could you fail to judge people and employ them with caution? Go outside and receive eighty lashes! The Grand Astronomical Master will preside over the punishment."

The emperor's face was already pale, and now it was even paler than paper.

However, although he was in a very bad mood, he also felt a little relieved.

The punishment bestowed by God rarely exceeds forty lashes, and eighty lashes is already a very severe punishment, which shows that the case of blasphemy has indeed touched the bottom line of God.

However, the gods still gave him some face and did not summon the nine realms of the Song Dynasty to punish him in public, which also showed that his divine favor had not diminished.

Just as the emperor took the initiative to walk out of the hall and the Grand Astrologer stood up and followed him, the voice of the god continued to be heard: "All those involved in the case of the demon blasphemy must be severely punished!

Furthermore, the eight commanders of the Internal Affairs Bureau and the External Affairs Bureau, the seven commanders of the Divine Supervision Bureau, and the six commanders of the Traitor Assassination Bureau before Lin Hao have all been dismissed. They will be marked by the Heavenly Eyes and sent to the Purgatory Sin Army to serve their crimes and make meritorious contributions! If they survive for 30 years, they will be reappointed by the court at their original rank."

The second envoy's face was as white as paper.

The divine decree from the Eastern Abyss made all his decades of work in the court go down the drain.

His subordinates, who originally had promising futures, were also completely ruined. He said that if they survived for 30 years, they would be re-employed by the court at their original ranks. But would the court dare to use them by then?

Lin Rui was also slightly startled. Could the gods be so angry? They didn't even mention any evidence, and they just beat a whole group of people with one blow.

In fact, judging from the results of the investigation by the Divine Supervision Bureau, these people were at most not diligent in their duties and might have purchased some injections from the demons, but they definitely did not have the courage to collude with the demons and allow them to dig out such a large underground palace under the temple.

At this time, the god continued to ask: "The King of Heavenly Demons came to my Dongzhou to seek peace. What progress has been made?"

Before Lin Rui could say anything, the second divine envoy stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the peace talks have made no progress. Those demons remain unwilling to yield and show no sincerity at all."

Regarding this peace negotiation, the Second Divine Envoy was actually just a nominal supervisor, responsible only for receiving the federal president and not taking care of anything else.

But when the God asked this question, the second envoy not only answered first, but also told the details of the peace talks in the past few days.

Finally, the second divine envoy said expressionlessly, "The Grand Astronomical Master appointed Lin Hao to oversee the peace talks. However, ever since Lin Hao secretly discussed this with the Heavenly Demon's inner minister that day, the Heavenly Demon has, for some reason, refused to back down. Furthermore, Lin Hao has remained silent on the peace talks for the past few days."

The god's gaze immediately turned towards Lin Rui: "Why is this happening?"

Lin Rui suddenly felt a mountain-like pressure falling on him, almost causing his blood and qi to solidify.

He thought that this second messenger of God was really sinister, actually doing this to him in front of the God.

This man was the Vice Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Was he really willing to personally criticize a mere fourth-rank military officer? He had absolutely no dignity at all!
Lin Rui immediately realized that he might not be a small figure in the eyes of this messenger of God.

He was a dignified Marquis of the State, a high priest of the Third Rank! His rank was even higher than that of some candidate divine envoys.

Lin Rui's face was calm and composed. He also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I did have a secret meeting with the Heavenly Demon's Inner Minister. I used my own assassination incident to question and threaten him, but I still failed to force the Heavenly Demon's Inner Minister to give in.

This person said that they were willing to ban and destroy the Changsheng Society, punish the Xinghai White Wolf Zang Shaochen severely, and hand over all the blasphemous materials related to the God in their hands to the God. However, the Internal Minister of the Heavenly Demon was absolutely unwilling to hand them over to the Song Dynasty, believing that this matter would damage their national system and national dignity, and that the national law would no longer exist, which was the bottom line of the Heavenly Demon side.

However, they are willing to compensate the God and our dynasty, and have offered some additional conditions. The reason I no longer pay attention to the peace talks is, firstly, because I was attacked by Purgatory and was seriously injured at the time; secondly, I believe that further negotiations are meaningless. If I pay too much attention, it will only make the Heavenly Demons feel emboldened. I have also been waiting for the God to wake up so that I can hand over the data pen given by the Heavenly Demon's inner minister to the God.

He was halfway through his words when he pulled out a data pen as thick as a finger from his sleeve and held it in front of him.

Lin Rui originally planned to give this thing to Luo Wangshu and ask her to pass it on. At that time, Lin Rui never expected that the God would actually invite him to the Palace of God to meet him.

"Your Majesty, this data has been encrypted. Even I cannot know its secret. However, the demon inside has promised me that the contents inside will definitely satisfy Your Majesty."

At this moment, Lin Rui felt the data pen in his hand flying into the air.
