Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 353
Chapter 353: Chapter 334: Oppression (Third update, please subscribe) Chapter 353: Chapter 334: Oppression (Third update, please subscribe) Linghu Mingde was in the middle of a video call with Xie Yong, the chairman of Dragon Ascending Alien Body Company based in the Ninth Base City, when he received the news that Lin Hao had cracked a major Heavenly Demon smuggling case.
This person was also a two-star cybernetic marshal and considered a second-generation alien body walker, quite strong in ability.
In Ninth Base City, this man amassed a great deal of wealth.
Apart from Dragon Ascending Alien Body Company, Xie Yong also ran an interstellar trading company, twelve martial arts fitness clubs, and seven nightclubs.
But Linghu Mingde sat with his arms crossed, looking down at Xie Yong with a commanding tone, “That’s enough, Old Xie, I know your lease contract with Jinhao Real Estate Group is renewed every two years, and there are only two months left until it ends, so canceling it shouldn’t be an issue for you.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw a message from his granddaughter, Fang Ranran, along with a screenshot of the collapsed manor on the outskirts of Luojing.
Linghu Mingde was surprised but showed no change in expression as he continued to stare at Xie Yong through the video projection.
Xie Yong looked quite displeased, “You make it sound easy, but we spent so much on renovation, and relocating will definitely affect the customer flow to my companies.”
“I don’t care about that!

Right now, I will not allow any company operating with alien bodies within the Great Song territory to have any business cooperation with the Jin family.”
Linghu Mingde tapped his fingers on the table, showing his impatience, “Just like this, if I don’t hear any news about the termination of your cooperations within two months, then both Dragon Ascending Alien Body Company and your trading company will have to cease all business within the Great Song territory.
You know I have the ability to wipe out most of your alien body walkers.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the breaking news just now, but there’s a massive Heavenly Demon case about to break out in Great Song’s Luojing.
The style of the Imperial Censor in charge is even more fierce than everyone imagines, and just like the rumors, he hates demons like enemies.”

A massive purge is bound to happen soon within both the court and beyond.
As an Imperial Censor, Zhao Yang has the power to decide the life and death of many alien body and trading companies.
Xie Yong frowned deeply, “Linghu Brother, this is a bit unreasonable and overbearing.”
“Jin Bolong didn’t talk to me about rules either,” Linghu Mingde said with a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes, “I’m about to die, Old Xie!”
Xie Yong quickly grasped his meaning.
Why wouldn’t Linghu Mingde take advantage of his remaining life and power to deal with the Jin family now rather than leaving them to besiege and oppress his descendants later?
At this time, Linghu Mingde would not allow anyone to stand in his way.
Xie Yong murmured thoughtfully, “So, is that notorious Imperial Censor of the Great Song, Zhao Yang, really you, Brother Linghu?”
Linghu Mingde neither confirmed nor denied but just looked coldly at the other party, “That depends on your choice.”
Whether to face the ruthless crackdown of Imperial Censor Zhao Yang or to continue calling him brother.
Linghu Mingde was no longer concerned about concealing his identity, thanks to Lin Hao’s favor, today’s Heavenly Demon Test at the Imperial Censorate had granted him half an invulnerable body.
For some time, Linghu Mingde wouldn’t have to worry about someone exposing his identity.
“I understand!” exclaimed Xie Yong with a sigh, “I’ll end all business ties with the Jin family.
In no more than a month, you’ll see the press releases from several of my companies.
That settles it.”
Having vented his frustration, he then ended the video call.
Linghu Mingde finally had a moment of peace to view the images and videos sent by Fang Ranran, as well as the press releases provided by the intelligence department of his own alien body company.
Shortly after, Linghu Mingde replied to Fang Ranran’s messages.
Linghu Mingde: Ranran, make contact with him as soon as possible, handing over the information I gave you.
Make it clear to Lord Lin that if he needs any assistance, whether in court or personal matters, the Zhao family will be his strongest ally.
Linghu Mingde: Ensure to be courteous, I have a feeling that Lord Lin is no simple character.
It’s likely his intervention in today’s Heavenly Demon Test that saved me.
Rain Falling on the Heart’s Dust (Fang Ranran): Really?
But Grandfather, how is that possible?
He has no reason to do so.
Linghu Mingde: I’m not sure, but apart from him, who else could tamper with the Heavenly Demon Test right under the nose of the Jinhao family, the Emperor, and the three Divine Envoys?
Ranran, you must trust an old fellow’s intuition.
At this moment, Fang Ranran inside the Celestial Star Alien Body became lost in thought as she read the message from her grandfather.
※※※※
Lin Rui had already been brought by his master to the Divine Envoy’s prison to listen to the sacred pronouncements of the Emperor and the three Divine Envoys.
Here, one could indeed only hear voices but could not see the speakers.
The Divine Envoy’s prison was a colossal hall spanning fifty acres, only second in grandeur to the ‘Divine Dragon Hall’.
The Emperor resided at the center, with the three Divine Envoys and the candidate Divine Envoys on both sides.
In front of them hung heavy curtains that only showed their blurry figures and hid their faces.
In fact, there wasn’t much to ask, as the mansion was only about 80 kilometers away from Luo Jing City.
With the powerful divine consciousness of these individuals, a simple probe in that direction would reveal the truth.
Luo Wangshu brought him here to use this case as leverage, forcing the Divine Envoy’s prison to grant Lin Rui greater authority.
Finally, the Emperor issued a solemn decree, “This case is of grave importance, not only related to the Heavenly Demon but also to the communication with purgatory, an unforgivable crime!
I hereby order Commander Lin Hao of the Bureau of Investigation to lead all his subordinates to quickly uncover the truth and eradicate the traitors!”
When the Emperor reached this point, his authoritative voice paused, “Any officials in the court who are suspects, up to and including second rank, may be summoned, interrogated, and arrested without solid evidence for the investigation; if involving a first-rank official, the Divine Envoy’s prison should be consulted for a decision.”
After receiving the decree, Lin Rui respectfully retreated.
However, just as he was about to return to the Bureau of Investigation, he saw two long swords, each one zhang and two chi in length, suddenly fly from within the hall and land before him.
The Emperor’s voice once again emanated from within, “This is the Imperial Dragon-Slaying Saber.
From this day forth, if anyone within or outside the court dares to obstruct the investigation of this case by the Bureau of Investigation, you may use this sword to execute first and report later!”
Lin Rui felt a surge of excitement; he was missing a weapon for his dragon armor, and he hadn’t expected the Emperor to bestow upon him a pair of 7S+ grade divine weapons.
It was a pity there was only one pair; Ji Xueying was still in need.
She had just damaged her swords from the clash with Yue Tianqing’s war dragon.
Ji Xueying’s ‘Astonishing Snow’ and ‘Thunder God’ were both strong but not suitable for use with Heavenly Demon armor.
This left him feeling slightly uneasy.
Lin Rui had been planning to make a move against King Han, but the Emperor’s gift of the precious swords left him a bit embarrassed.
Lin Rui bowed respectfully towards the hall and then returned to the Bureau of Investigation.
He needed to quickly summon the deputy commanders to set up a special case team and delegate the task of solving the case.
But as he entered the door, Lin Rui saw a group of Imperial Dragon officers carrying various kinds of Heavenly Demon equipment towards the Bureau of Investigation.
These devices were all high-end, including the latest models of surgery pods, top-grade sleep chambers, ether observatories, smart maid robots, 3D alloy printers, high-precision machining tools, and small-scale nuclear fusion generators, among many others.

After scanning the items, Lin Rui placed his hands behind his back and asked, “These things—are they all evidence found in that demon’s lair?”
Hearing his question, the Imperial Dragon officers all solemnly saluted, and one of them reverently replied, “Yes!
These objects of the Heavenly Demon were found at the scene and are still in relatively good condition.
We are ordered by the guardian commander to deliver them to the Verification Department for preservation and registry.”
Lin Rui nodded, “Good, when you send these items over, please also give a message to the head of the Verification Department for me.
Tell him to select some of the best objects of the Heavenly Demon and deliver them to my residence, particularly these Heavenly Demon instruments.
If there are any fine items, send them all to me.
As the Commander of the Bureau of Investigation, I need to fully understand the secrets of the Heavenly Demon.”
Seeing them solemnly agreeing to his request, Lin Rui continued inside with a satisfied expression.
By the time Lin Rui returned to his office in the main hall of the Bureau of Investigation, the three deputy commanders had already been waiting for him for quite some time.
