Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 116 Limitless Saber Venerable (Requesting Subscriptions)

Lin Rui felt incredibly surprised and utterly confused.

Wasn't this County Magistrate being overly generous with him?

He speculated that his appointment must be related to Zhuang Mingyue.

Without the power of this deep and unmeasurable County Magistrate, how could that high-ranking protector of the region even think of letting him, a newly appointed 'Martial Cultivist Capital Commandant' with no background, take over Wang City?

Since his arrival just over twenty days ago, Zhuang Mingyue had promoted him several ranks in quick succession, not only appointing him as a seventh-grade Martial Cultivist Capital Commandant but also temporarily placing him as the deputy defender of Wang City, and even the acting defender.

The question was, why did Zhuang Mingyue favor him so much? On what basis?

If it weren't for the fact that Zhuang Mingyue's gaze had shown no signs of strangeness, Lin Rui might even suspect that the County Magistrate had taken a liking to him.

However, he showed a face of shocked gratitude, his voice full of emotional vigor, "Your subordinate obeys the command! I am deeply grateful for your mentorship, heavier than a mountain, and as deep as the sea, beyond words. I am profoundly grateful and shall engrave this in my heart every single day!"

This County Magistrate could be considered his patron, the old leader who promoted him, and he must make her feel the emotional value.

After receiving the official document from Zhuang Mingyue, Lin Rui quickly scanned it.

The content was as Zhuang Mingyue had stated, the regional protector instructed him to promptly go to the county city to suppress the local demons and martial forces to prevent the law and order in Wang City county from further deterioration, and also to monitor whether the officials in Wang City had engaged in any unlawful activities during its destruction.

The regional protector, a fourth-rank official under the Imperial City Division, was the head of all 'Imperial Dragon Guards' in the region, and also Lin Rui's future immediate superior.

This official also authorized him to recruit a hundred Imperial Dragon Guards after taking office, to rebuild the structure of Wang City.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lin Rui felt very conflicted, musing that he had initially come to slack off and steal a salary, yet in less than a month, he ended up as a high official of the great Song Dynasty.

If Manager Yu and others asked him how he was doing here, Lin Rui really didn't know what to answer.

Zhuang Mingyue was very satisfied with Lin Rui's reaction. She smiled and swept her sleeve gently, "Why thank me? It's all because of your own efforts, impressively managing the case of Zhu cousins, earning the regional protector's favor. If you really want to thank me, just do your duties well and don't disgrace me."

Zhuang Mingyue then turned to the Imperial Censor, Lin Tianda, "Lord Lin, our county office also has a young hero, who stepped into the third realm only after a few months of cultivation, nearly reaching two-tenths proficiency in blood control, and is both intelligent and brave; Zhuang also intends to recruit him into the Imperial City Division for key training.

Today just happens to be a good opportunity; why not test him as well?"

Upon hearing Zhuang Mingyue's words, Wang Sen almost lost his composure.

As long as Zhuang Mingyue's requests did not contradict his conscience, Lin Rui would do his best to fulfill them.

A smile flickered across Zhuang Mingyue's eyes, thinking to herself that he indeed was the person she had valued, "To be honest, the Governor of Shazhou is my senior brother. This time he appointed you to take over Wang City because he had no other choice. My sect operates some businesses in the Wang City County, which require supervision. Moreover, it relates to a matter that occurred recently.

My senior brother must have a person strong in martial arts and reliable in character to help him manage Wang City."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui's spirit was stirred.

The County Magistrate's senior brother was the Governor of Shazhou?

His guess was correct, Zhuang Mingyue indeed came from a powerful faction within the imperial department.

Lin Rui then listened to Zhuang Mingyue saying, "Twelve, have you ever heard of the Mad Saber Gentleman Qin Yan?"

"Mad Saber Gentleman Qin Yan?" Lin Rui looked puzzled.

He only had a vague understanding of the martial folklore of the Sky Extreme Islands, though he found the name very familiar; where had he heard it before?

Before Lin Rui could even start to search online, Zhuang Mingyue laughed softly, thinking it was normal for Twelve of his age and experience to not have heard of him.

She continued, "This person was a seventh realm Martial Cultivator from three thousand years ago, once listed within the top thirty on our Great Song's imperial wanted list. That's not too impressive itself, but what's crucial is his other identity; he was the direct disciple of Du Zunlong."

"Du Zunlong? The Limitless Saber Venerable Du Zunlong?" Lin Rui finally remembered, his pupils dilating as he thought, isn't that the project that Professor Han and his team are working on?

"Exactly, the Limitless Saber Venerable! You've actually heard of his title!" Zhuang Mingyue felt a bit surprised, then nodded, "Du Zunlong was the undisputed number one master known beneath 'The Abyss' at the time, in his later years he was infinitely close to The Abyss, and was the most likely entity to break through The Abyss in the last ten thousand years.

He ultimately failed and perished in the Sky Extreme Islands overseas. Afterward, the fragments of his war dragon were divided among the ten disciples he had taken during his lifetime. Mad Saber Gentleman Qin Yan was one of them.

Half a year ago, there were rumors suddenly on the rivers and lakes that Qin Yan might have lived in Wang City County for the last 100 years of his life, and his hideout was near Wang City County.

This news created an uproar at the time, drawing many masters to Wang City, turning the county upside down until it calmed down two months ago. However, recently Wang City stirred up again, as new clues about the hideout of Mad Saber Gentleman Qin Yan were discovered—"

Hearing this, Lin Rui squinted his eyes.

He remembered the message Fei Yunlai had them relay to Professor Han.

—The situation is not right; pause the plan; it's a trap!
