Chapter 537 High Weight Rank (Subscribe)

PS: The previous chapter was written wrongly. The Great Heavenly Official is of the third rank.

Lin Rui was also very happy when he saw his senior sister Meng Weiyun. He bowed to Meng Weiyun and said, "Congratulations, senior sister, on your new position. You have great ambitions. I am so happy to hear about this."

Meng Weiyun smiled and waved her hand: "I should be the one thanking you. Like Lao Li, I owe it to you, Junior Brother."

Just six days ago, she was officially promoted to the commander of the 'Internal Affairs Bureau', and her rank was also raised from a fourth-rank Heavenly Official to a third-rank Great Heavenly Official.

This was all due to a case of blasphemy against gods. The heads of the Imperial City Department, including the Internal Affairs Bureau, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the Divine Supervision Bureau and other government offices, were all brought to justice by the court.

Especially the dozen or so people who were clearly derelict in their duties had already been arrested and imprisoned by the gods before the divine decree from the Eastern Abyss was issued.

Mainly the emperor, who advocated a thorough investigation after the blasphemy case broke out and acted extremely forcefully and cruelly.

This also left a large number of positions vacant within the Imperial City Bureau, including the Internal Affairs Bureau, which was responsible for monitoring local areas, spying on public sentiment, and supervising officials within the Song Dynasty.

It has been less than a year since Meng Weiyun was promoted to the fourth-rank celestial official. Originally, he would have to stay in the local area for a while before he had the possibility of promotion.

Moreover, there are only about a dozen key positions in the Imperial City Bureau that truly hold great power, so it can be said that there is only one position for each person.

So this time she really relied on Lin Rui.

Meng Weiyun had been promoted to the seventh level of the emperor rank at this time. With a little effort from her master Luo Wangshu, she was transferred to Luojing and appointed as the commander of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

She then looked around: "Are you sure? I think at least one-tenth of the imperial court's Dragon Transformation masters in Luojing are gathered here. Should we be more cautious?"

If anything unexpected happens, even with the foundation of the Song Dynasty, it will probably be seriously damaged.

The Abyss of the East will probably be disappointed too.

Lin Rui raised the corners of his lips slightly: "It depends on whether Purgatory is willing to confront the Song Dynasty at this time."

Meng Weiyun blinked, and then a look of enlightenment appeared in her eyes.

Xian Yuyan, who was standing behind Lin Rui, also had her eyes light up. She finally understood that although Lin Rui's strategy seemed risky, it was actually very sure.

Lin Rui did not hesitate at all. After he met up with the 832 dragon-transforming masters in the north of the city, he continued on his journey without any pause.

There are a total of 100 flying cars, 200 flying boats, carrying more than huge dragon boxes, and the momentum is quite magnificent.

Especially after the gathering, nearly 860 dragons turned into golden pillars of blood and energy formed by more than 800 war dragons soared into the sky, and huge waves of Yuanli spread all over the place.

There is still a lot of spare space on these flying cars and boats, and nearly half of them are empty.

However, when Lin Rui's fleet flew 3000 miles north, the space inside gradually became full.

As they journeyed north, more and more dragon-transforming masters joined them.

They were all masters that Lin Rui had previously assigned to hunt down the Demon Cult. They were all summoned at this time, waiting on the road in advance, and joined Lin Rui's team one after another.

An hour later, when Lin Rui arrived in the northern part of Jingzhou, above a small county town in the southern part of Tiantong County, the number of dragon-transforming masters under Lin Rui's command had increased to 1520.

At this time, the commander of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, Wang Chenghua, had also led 1003 dragon-transforming masters under his command to wait here.

Wang Chenghua looked from afar at more than 100 flying cars and 234 flying boats speeding from the distant sky, and then he looked intently at the big flag hanging on one of the flying boats.

The flag, embroidered with the character "Lin" on the front and "Zhenguo" on the back, fluttered in the air. "High in power and rank, obscuring the sun and clouds, imposing and menacing!"

Wang Chenghua felt the domineering, ruthless and courageous nature of this Marquis Zhenguo, and was also impressed by the fact that his status and authority had greatly increased in just a few days.

Now, with just one order from this marquis, he can mobilize more than 2,500 dragon-transforming masters, as well as six king-level and super-king-level Nine Realms 'Shen Zhao' in just a few hours!
You have to know that the Divine Palace’s Divine Guards only have 3000 people!

When Lin Rui's flying car came closer, Wang Chenghua's face was slightly solemn. He bowed to Lin Rui's car frame and said, "Wang Chenghua, the commander of the Demon Extermination Bureau, leads 1003 people of the Jingzhou Rebellion Suppression Army above the level of Hualong and is here to pay his respects to the Marquis of Zhenguo!"

He has reached the eighth level of imperial cultivation, but I am still a third-rank celestial official. I dare not act rudely in front of this cabinet minister, commander of the assassination bureau, and upstart of the imperial court who is favored by the gods.

"Military situation is urgent, no need for courtesy!"

Lin Rui was standing at the shaft of the carriage. He immediately raised his hand and waved it, using a stream of true energy to lift Wang Chenghua up from the air.

"Master Wang, please get in the car. We will talk on the way. The rest of you should follow as soon as possible."

Although these dragon-transforming masters brought by Wang Chenghua also brought some flying boats and spaceships, their speed was generally not fast.

The boats that Lin Rui used when he set out from Luojing City were obtained by him looting the entire city. Although Wang Chenghua's army also had 1300 flying boats, most of them had a speed of no more than 1000 miles per hour and were specially built for transporting food and supplies.

Fortunately, this place was not far from Tiantong County. About half an hour later, they arrived above Tiantong County.

When he was about 30 miles away, Lin Rui saw that the city wall over there was heavily fortified, with a large number of civilians wearing simple wooden and leather armor lined up on it, waiting in anticipation.

"Six days ago, the entire Demon Cult rebelled, attempting to encircle and annihilate our troops. Fortunately, thanks to the divine protection, most of our troops managed to break through, with only a loss of over ten thousand men. Afterwards, the Demon Cult members did not follow the trend and move south, or attack the outer counties. Instead, they retreated to the two county towns and held their ground."

Wang Chenghua glanced at Lin Rui and said, "The Demon Cult has very few Dragon Transformation experts. This is why my men were able to break through safely. However, according to the spies from the Internal Affairs Bureau, after the Demon Cult members retreated to the two county towns, they used some unknown method to continuously stimulate the demons. It is said that there are already over 600 demons above the sixth level."

The expression of the Tianxiang Divine Envoy who was trapped in the Emperor Type 8 Exoskeleton Armor changed when he heard this.

The reason why people turn into demons is either because they experience extreme physical pain or because they are triggered by extreme emotions.

There are actually more than 600 sixth-level demons. What on earth did those people do to her followers?
At this time, the Tianxiang Divine Envoy was extremely grateful to Lin Rui. If Lin Rui had come a little later, who knows how many people would be left in these two county towns.

Wang Chenghua then continued, "In addition, there are a large number of Purgatory masters observing nearby. The number is unknown, but I clearly sense that there are at least three Ninth Realm Super Emperor masters."

"Don't worry. According to the predetermined tactics, each unit will form teams of three and attack. Kill any demons you see! As for the rest of the bandits, as long as they don't have weapons and their cultivation level is lower than one realm, you don't need to pay attention to them."

Lin Rui then waved his sleeves, causing the chest armor and visor of the Emperor Type 8 exoskeleton armor to open, revealing the Tianxiang Divine Envoy inside.

He raised his hand and untied several of the restraints on the woman's body. He said in a serious voice, "Now it's your turn. If you want more people to survive, then please do your best!"

Divine Envoy Tianxiang didn't hesitate. She took a deep breath, gathering her true energy, and then let out a long roar: "I am Tianxiang, the Fifth Divine Envoy of the Holy Church of Light! I hereby warn all the elders and fellow villagers: Do not be deceived by the traitors and resist the imperial army again. If you still recognize me, Tianxiang, please lay down your weapons immediately! Lord Lin, the Marquis of Zhenguo and Commander of the Traitor Assassination Bureau of the imperial court, has guaranteed that your lives will be safe!"

Her voice instantly shook the entire city of Tiantong County, causing everyone in the city to look in the direction of the Tianxiang Divine Envoy.

At this time, on a small hill about 50 miles away from Tiantong County, three people were standing there, looking at Lin Rui and Tianxiang Divine Envoy from afar.

The one standing in the front is a humanoid figure with a dragon-like head; the one on the left is wearing an Emperor 9 exoskeleton armor and has the Shadow Killing Corps' unique mark on his chest. He is the mysterious leader of the Shadow Killing Corps.

The other person was a man wearing a mask, with a majestic and resolute aura and deep and sharp eyes.

——If Luo Wangshu were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize this man as Qi Wuji, the former candidate for the ninth divine envoy of the Song Dynasty who was supposed to die from divine punishment!

Qi Wuji stared at Lin Hao intently, his eyes complicated. "This guy's military strategy is truly sharp and bold. I'm confused now. Is he reckless or impulsive when he personally led 2500 Dragon Transformation masters to attack Tiantong? Or is he confident and deliberately luring the enemy? Or is he bluffing?"
