Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

The following day at dawn, Jin Tianchen got together with numerous colleagues in the courtyard of the Ninth Realm of the Spy Detection Bureau and headed towards the Divine Prison Department. By the time they arrived at the entrance of the Divine Prison Department, a large crowd had already gathered. The team escorting the Heavenly Demons was formidable. To ensure the safe transport of these Outer Heaven Demons to the Demon Suppression Forest, the Imperial City Department, aside from mobilizing a large number of personnel from within the Spy Detection Bureau and the Imperial City Department itself, had also commanded the three major imperial guard forces of Luojing to bring out a large number of elites, who were arranged in a military formation in the plaza in front of the gates of the Divine Prison Department. This military formation consisted of exactly two thousand warriors from the Fourth Realm, six hundred from the Fifth Realm, nearly twenty-four from the Sixth Realm, and eight from the Seventh Realm overseeing the formation. Their Spirit Mechanisms gathered together, forming an immense Ether Spirit Tide. Their Commander from the Spy Detection Bureau, Lin Hao, along with two imperial guard Generals of the Second Rank responsible for providing support, only arrived leisurely at the hour of Chen. Jin Tianchen's expression shifted as he looked towards the 'Dragon Boxes' being pulled by horse carriages following behind Lin Hao's carriage. Among these 'Dragon Boxes,' four belonged to temporary Dragon Guard instructors dispatched to accompany them, and two were Lin Hao's own. These two Dragon Boxes had been with Lin Hao for several days and had attracted a lot of attention within the Spy Detection Bureau. Today, they also caught the attention of many people around Jin Tianchen. "Whose Battle Dragons could those be? Could it be that our Commander has ascended to the Sixth Realm and transformed into a dragon?" "How is that possible? If the Commander had transformed into a dragon, why would he need two Dragon Armors? Besides, it hasn't been long since the Commander advanced to the Fifth Realm and underwent Dragon Shedding, how could it be so fast? That seems to be his accompanying Dragon Guard's. Do you see? That young girl next to him." "But that's only one; who does the other one belong to? It couldn't be his sworn sister's, right? Mr. Zhou has to guard the city gates and didn't come along this time." "I'm not sure, but the Dragon Boxes have been with the Commander for several days." "I wonder what Grade are they, but I've heard through the grapevine that the Dragon Guard accompanying him isn't very impressive, so the Battle Dragon's strength must be average." Jin Tianchen was also very interested in these Dragon Boxes. Today, he had received early notice from his uncle that there would definitely be complications during the transport of the Heavenly Demons and that he must be attentive to his own safety. Moreover, his uncle was very concerned about the two Dragon Boxes that had suddenly appeared by Lin Hao's side, wanting to know whether there were Battle Dragons inside, and if so, what kind. Regrettably, no one from the Spy Detection Bureau had been able to see inside the Dragon Boxes to date. Just less than twenty breaths after Lin Hao arrived, the heavy steel gate of the Divine Prison Department slowly opened with a rumbling sound. Following that, a large number of prison carts emerged from inside and joined the military formation. At Lin Hao's command, this elite military formation escorting the convoy started moving in single file toward the south of the city. Riding a royal-blooded Iron-Scaled Horse provided by the court, Lin Rui positioned himself at the very center of the procession, right next to the prison cart containing the Eighth Realm mage Zhu Tiantang. As they grandly exited the southern gate of Luojing, Lin Rui thoughtfully observed Zhu Tiantang inside the prison cart. "You seem relaxed," Lin Rui studied the man carefully. "It almost feels like you're expecting something." The man indeed appeared relaxed, sitting lazily inside the prison cart, maintaining a posture of meditation throughout, seemingly unconcerned about the imminent torture. Upon hearing this, Zhu Tiantang opened his eyes, his gaze filled with irony as he looked at Lin Rui. "I'm not expecting anything, but Commander Lin, you seem very vigilant. Are you afraid of something? Afraid of an ambush? Afraid that we'll escape?" "You actually got it right; I am naturally timid." Lin Rui chuckled mischievously, "Pass the order, halt the march. Luo Tianman, arrange for someone to check their Primordial Restraints and Vein-Sealing Needles, and see if their scapula hooks are secure, if the Primordial Spirits are firmly detained, and whether the prison carts and chains are strong." Upon hearing this, Luo Tianman, who was in charge of surveillance for the Twenty-second Realm, immediately assigned trusted people to check inside the carts. Many people within the formation felt this was unnecessary, and even the two Second Rank imperial guard Generals slightly furrowed their brows. Actually, when they had taken over custody from the Divine Prison Department earlier, the Spy Detection Bureau had already checked thoroughly, with multiple witnesses present at the scene. However, since Lin Hao had issued the order, no matter how unwarranted or inconvenient they felt it was, they could only stop and quietly await the results of Luo Tianman and others' inspection. Although the generals were discontent in their hearts, they dared not openly question the decision. They could only shake their heads slightly in inward dissent, feeling Lin Hao was making a big deal out of a small issue. They were merely escorting a group of Outer Heaven Demons; what could possibly go wrong? It wasn't as if they were going to another place but merely to the Demon Suppression Forest on the south bank of the Sky Suspension River, and even including the route within the city, the entire journey was only a bit over 360 miles. Moreover, not only were the Outer Heaven Demons' Alien forms captured, but their Battle Dragons were also suppressed within the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower. How could these people possibly escape? The last problem during the transport of Heavenly Demons occurred years ago when an Outer Heaven Demon named Huangfu caused trouble. However, although several tens of Ninth Realm Outer Heaven Demons arrived, there were six Divine Envoy candidates overseeing, with the First Divine Envoy personally in charge. With the deities watching from the skies, those Ninth Realm Outer Heaven Demons dared not make any careless moves. However, in the next instant, the crowd heard exclamations coming from the prisoner carts. "Problem with prisoner cart number seven, the Demon Suppression Nail and the Pulse Interception Needle have mostly failed, and the hooks on the scapula have also broken nearly in half. They come off with just a struggle." "Prisoner cart number three is the same, but the iron chains are intact!" "Problem with prisoner cart number twelve, the Demon Suppression Nail and the Pulse Interception Needle have failed, this Heavenly Demon bastard is almost free!" At that moment, everyone's expression changed, and they all turned to look at the Colonels of the Imperial City Department who were responsible for inspecting the prisoner carts. These Colonels of Sixth Rank were all seasoned experts within the Imperial City Department. How could such errors occur? They too were pale-faced and anxious. They hadn't expected that there really would be problems with the prisoner carts, and they also didn't know the reason. Lin Rui then walked up to prisoner cart number three with a cool expression and started to check the condition of the Outer Heaven Demon. He immediately flicked his sleeve, "It's not our fault! This appears to be some kind of delayed action Secret Technique. Someone had injected some kind of medicine into their bloodstream beforehand, which activated after the handover, dissolving the Demon Suppression Nail and the Pulse Interception Needle inside them. Send orders back immediately, lock down the Divine Prison Department, inspect the entire prison. Those problematic prison guards probably haven't had the chance to escape!" Lin Rui then moved to several other prisoner carts, personally checking the various restraints on these Heavenly Demons. He noticed that the problems all involved those of the Sixth Realm, a few Outer Heaven Demons of the Seventh Realm and the Eighth Realm mage, Zhu Tiantang. Apparently, the opponent knew that the 'Mingwei Colonels' who were conducting the checks were ranked just below the Fifth Rank in the Imperial City Department, with higher cultivation and more experience, and dared not act recklessly. However, just as Lin Rui was inspecting an Outer Heaven Demon of the Seventh Realm, his gaze suddenly sharpened. There was also something wrong with these Seventh Realm Heavenly Demons, but unlike those of the Sixth Realm, their issues were in their stomachs. It seemed to be some sort of enteric capsule, containing a small amount of radioactivity that caused slight abnormalities in their gastrointestinal tissues. —Was it 'Purgatory Light'? No, that couldn't be right. If it were actual 'Purgatory Light,' the radioactivity would be detectable even from several steps away. This must be some kind of Bloodline Mutation Medicine crafted using 'Purgatory Light'. Once the capsule completely dissolved, these individuals would rapidly mutate into Demons. This was truly ingenious! Once mutated into Demons, both the Demon Suppression Nail and the Pulse Interception Needle would be useless. Lin Rui, without changing his expression, allowed the '300,000 Li Flying Book' hidden in his sleeve to quietly slip out and fly towards the distant horizon. Lin Rui then stepped down from the prisoner cart, "Reinforce the Demon Suppression Nail and the Pulse Interception Needle, repair the restraints before moving forward! Also, get a few strong men to break the legs and feet of these Heavenly Demons for me." After issuing the orders, he gave a mocking bow to the Eighth Realm mage, Zhu Tiantang, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for the reminder which helped me notice these anomalies, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Zhu Tiantang's face was as dark as iron, thinking to himself, did I really remind him? Was it just because of what I said earlier? Could it be that I messed up the Marshal's big plan again? At that moment, a General in golden armor holding two octagonal purple-gold hammers stepped onto the prisoner cart. —This was one of the Second Rank generals of the imperial guard, the Colonel of the 'Feathered Forest' guards, Song Yingwu, who personally stepped onto the prisoner cart and shattered the bones of Zhu Tiantang's hands and feet. This man's face was stern, mood heavy. Luckily, he had not spoken out earlier, otherwise, he would have embarrassed himself. Embarrassment alone would not have been a problem, but if it led to issues, they could not bear the consequences. And the situation clearly seemed to be unusual this time; they must be more cautious and careful! Soon after, the military formation escorting the prisoner carts moved on. At this time, not only was Colonel Song Yingwu more vigilant, but everyone else also took extra precautions. Jin Tianchen walked among the formation, softly sighing to himself. He thought, truly worthy of being 'King Yama's Blade' Lin Hao, indeed not so easily dealt with, Uncle and the others might be disappointed this time. They continued on their way until reaching the northern bank of the Sky Suspension River without further incidents. And just as they were lining up to board the ship, ready to head to the southern bank, Lin Rui suddenly uttered a 'hmm', his eyes unusually fixed on the river waters below. Just then, Xue Lingxue had sent him a video, showing the scene captured by the 'Detection Buoy' they had placed in the water. This was a high-tech underwater remote sensing detector, equipped with ether scanning, electromagnetic scanning, and sonar among other detection sensors. They had now scanned several stealth submarines shuttling underwater. "Interesting!" Lin Rui's eyes turned cold and calculating, pondering that these folks were really going all out, still unwilling to give up. After realizing something was amiss and becoming alert, were these people still not willing to give up?
