“Strange, wasn’t Shangguan Tianyi dismissed?

How come she was chosen?”

“I heard that as she was being sent out of the imperial city, Shangguan Tianyi blocked the carriage of the commander of the intelligence bureau.”

“That actually worked?

Didn’t they clearly explain to the commander that Shangguan Tianyi has flaws in her martial constitution and might already be contaminated?”

“It seems they did explain the situation clearly, and several instructors also advised against it bitterly, but for some reason, he insisted on her and even spent over thirty thousand divine gold for top-quality dragon transformation materials.”

“He must covet Shangguan Tianyi’s Sword Dao cultivation, right?

The problem is, for us Dragon Guards, the deeper the contact with the abyssal will, the greater the danger.

Once the Primordial Spirit is branded by the abyss, dragon transformation is doomed to failure, and this commander will inevitably regret his decision.”

“The emperor and several Divine Envoys have sent messengers to check her condition; all shook their heads incessantly.

Could this commander be an exception?”

With his keen six senses, Lin Rui overheard all these comments.

...

He glanced sidelong at Shangguan Tianyi and thought that this girl seemed to be rather lacking in how she handled her relations.

Apart from the overseer and her teacher, there were hardly a few in the entire Dragon Guards who spoke well of her.

Lin Rui then looked back at the steps behind him, where Fei Yunlai was seeing him off with due ceremony.

It was a pity, this third-ranked Dragon Guard with the authority to carry a sword had declined his recruitment, citing loyalty to his former master and the lack of additional quotas as reasons.

In truth, quotas were a trivial matter.

Backed by the Third Divine Envoy Luo Wangshu and in charge of the intelligence bureau, Lin Rui could easily procure another Dragon Guard qualification.

However, he saw that Fei Yunlai’s intentions seemed firm.

Even if he obtained the quota, he might not be able to make her comply, so he prepared to first investigate the situation.

Why would the emperor and several Divine Envoys neglect Fei Yunlai’s formidable combat strength, letting her serve as an instructor among the Dragon Guards?

Lin Rui was determined to recruit this woman; compared to those Dragon Guard candidates in need of significant resources to be developed, he preferred someone like Fei Yunlai, with abundant experience and strong immediate combat power.

As Lin Rui returned, he even hummed a song, not a nursery rhyme but a minor tune from the people of the Polar Star.

Ji Xueying looked at him with a peculiar expression, “Master seems quite happy?”

“Not bad,” Lin Rui replied, with a slight smile on his lips.

“Today, good fortunes came knocking, so naturally I’m in high spirits.”

Ji Xueying glanced back at Shangguan Tianyi.

This fair-complexioned girl in white was holding her sword with both hands, also following behind with a smile on her face.

Ji Xueying thought to herself that the ‘joy’ Lin Rui mentioned must include this candidate for the Dragon Guards.

Ji Xueying was certain, without doubt, that this woman’s martial arts and bloodline talent were what the Earth Federation would call ‘legendary’ level, likely second only to her master, with immeasurable future achievements.

The premise was that Shangguan Tianyi had to get through the upcoming challenge, successfully transform into a dragon at the closing of her fontanelle, and that too, under the precondition of excluding any abyssal will.

If Shangguan Tianyi became the vessel for the Ten Thousand Thunder Venerable’s resurrection, even if Lin Rui did not use his dragon seal to kill her, the three Divine Envoys would immediately eradicate her.

However, this girl’s temperament was quite optimistic.

From Shangguan Tianyi’s words, it seemed she was aware of her low probability of successful dragon transformation, but she did not care for her own life or death in the slightest.

This girl only sought an opportunity to transform, to have once again the chance to defy fate and continue on the path of the Sword Dao.

Ji Xueying chuckled and shook her head, thinking that perhaps it was exactly this indifferent attitude towards life and death and the determination to cut through all hindrances with her sword that allowed her to condense such a powerful Sword Intent.

But meeting Lin Rui was indeed Shangguan Tianyi’s good fortune.

In this world, aside from those few deities, nobody else could possibly help Shangguan Tianyi overcome this ordeal.

Yet her master might have a way.

Ji Xueying hoped she could successfully transform into a dragon.

On one hand, because her master truly lacked high-end combat power at his side.

Lu Hanyuan and Gong Hengdao, despite their powerful alien bodies, could arrive in Luojing within ten to fifteen days, riding their protective starships at great speeds.

They did not need to travel by boat upriver like they did.

The problem was that both of their identities were problematic and could not directly appear beside Lin Rui.

On the other hand, Ji Xueying truly did not wish to see this blossoming girl die just like that.

She had once been trapped in a desperate situation with no help in sight, so she empathized with her.

By this time, the group had already walked out of the imperial city and headed towards the western street when Shangguan Tianyi suddenly lifted her head with an ‘ei’ and looked around in all directions.

“Sir, I feel like someone is watching us nearby.”

Lin Rui couldn’t help but utter a ‘hmm’ and also glanced around.

He knew that Shangguan Tianyi’s Primordial Spirit power surpassed many of the Sixth Realm, at least reaching 15,000 points, several times his own, and her sensory abilities must be extraordinary.

Lin Rui’s gaze failed to find anything nearby, but he still issued a word of light praise, “Very good!

Keep on guard.”

He was also highly alert in his heart.

Long before Lin Rui entered the capital, he had already been marked by various forces, and the number of people wanting to kill him was countless.

The battle outside the city at the Luo family estate, where they broke up a massive smuggling research base, only made the security situation around Lin Rui take a sharp turn for the worse.

Lin Rui knew he was a thorn in many people’s sides, and if he was not extra careful, he might indeed fulfill Yuan Chengkai’s wish of dying without a place to be buried within a month.

Luckily, as long as he got through tonight, the forces at his side would be greatly strengthened.

Lin Rui’s eyes burned with eagerness, looking forward even more to tonight’s prosthesis surgery.

※※※※

What Lin Rui didn’t know was that at the same time Shangguan Tianyi was vigilantly looking around, about five kilometers away from the Imperial Path, inside a tower, Jin Tianchen’s brow was deeply furrowed as he quickly put away the Type 7 sniper rifle in his hands and shrank back into the corner of the room.

His uncle, Jin Bolong’s clone, was sitting at a square table inside the tower, playing chess with the white-robed elder opposite him—Lu Hanyuan, the group’s independent director.

Jin Bolong glanced disapprovingly at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I was just watching that Espionage and Assassination Bureau Commander Lin Hao.”

Jin Tianchen, hugging the rifle, said with a solemn face, “There’s a young girl by his side with extremely sharp spiritual perception.

I only glanced at her once with the digital scope of this sniper rifle, and she detected me.”

He wasn’t a professional sniper, but he used this sniper rifle to take advantage of its concealed yet powerful sighting equipment.

“A young girl?” Jin Bolong looked at his think tank opposite him with a puzzled expression.

Eventually, he shook his head disinterestedly, “These few days, we should avoid any contact with Lin Hao as much as possible and need not concern ourselves with him.”

“Why is that, Uncle?” Jin Tianchen’s face showed confusion, “This morning, Fang Ranran visited Lin’s residence, and with Linghu Mingde’s temperament, he is likely to leak our group’s intelligence to Lin Hao, to set us up against each other!

And once the Espionage and Assassination Bureau acts against us, the consequences are unimaginable.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Bolong smiled with satisfaction, yet he also felt a regretful.

It was a pity this child was his nephew, not his own son.

“Tianchen, it’s good that you’ve thought of this, however—”

Jin Bolong turned to look out the window, his eyes filled with an icy chill that couldn’t be dissolved, “Do you know who owned that base?

The Longevity Association!”

Jin Tianchen’s pupils suddenly constricted, having grown up in a top commercial family in the Ninth District Metropolis, he was well-acquainted with the Longevity Association.

“According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, that base should belong to one of the moguls of the Longevity Association.”

Lu Hanyuan also said with a calm demeanor, “The boy probably won’t live long.”

Understanding dawned on Jin Tianchen’s face, so they needed to distance themselves from this boy to avoid suspicion, didn’t they?

Since the boy’s death was imminent, then no matter how strong the people around him were, it had nothing to do with the Jin family.

He still asked, puzzled, “The Longevity Association is very powerful, but in Luojiang, can they kill Lin Hao right under the eyes of the Third Divine Envoy?”

At this, Jin Bolong smiled again and continued to play chess, “You don’t need to worry about that.

The power of the Longevity Association on Tianji Star far exceeds your imagination.

Several of their particularly powerful figures are no less potent than the Divine Envoys.

They have their own ways to dispose of Lin Hao.

As for you, Tianchen, the Heavenly Demon Test is in two days’ time.

You’ll be taking up the post of captain in the Imperial Guards, so you should focus more on resting.”

Since this child couldn’t continue down the path of martial stardom, he would have to follow his (Jin Bolong’s) will, becoming a reliable piece for the Jin family.

Of course, given Jin Tianchen’s status and talents, he would be a very important piece among all their chessmen.

Once Espionage and Assassination Bureau Commander Lin Hao died, there would inevitably be a period of chaos within the Imperial Guards, which would present the best opportunity for Jin Tianchen to advance.

As long as Jin Tianchen could rise to one of the twenty-four overseers of the Espionage and Assassination Bureau in the future, serving as any one of the overseers, it would greatly benefit the Jin family.
