Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 336: The Truth (Please Subscribe) Chapter 355: Chapter 336: The Truth (Please Subscribe) Lin Rui looked toward the solemnly standing prison guard at his side, “What is the meaning of this?”

“Reporting to your lordship!”

The prison guard bowed and said, “The warden Luo has ordered Yuan Chengkai to be moved to the lower Ant Pit prison cell, claiming that it was necessary to lock up this rebel for a day or two to break his spirit, before subjecting him to severe interrogation!”

Lin Rui nodded slightly upon hearing this, as it was a very typical interrogation technique.

Some prisoners start with high spirits, and at such times one must wear them down.

Once they’re drained and their spirits have faded, they are much easier to interrogate.

The Ant Pit is the lowest dungeon of the Divine Prison, inherently constituting a very cruel punishment.

It was not only eternally dark inside but also inhabited by a multitude of Heart-eating Poison Ants.

These ants of the Heavenly Extreme Star possessed a special venom in their fangs that caused excruciating pain when they bit.

The pain of being bitten by thousands of ants was said to be ten times worse than that of being dismembered!

...

The venom was also said to induce hallucinations that could lead to the prisoners’ demonic transformation.

The warden in charge was the twentieth prison warden, Luo Tianman.

Lin Rui thought to himself that this subordinate was very capable and acted to his satisfaction, deserving of further cultivation.

Yuan Chengkai, hearing this, grew even more furious: “Lin the Twelfth!

The dynasty has laws; the Great Founder enumerated seventeen tortures that must not be applied to scholars and officials, and the punishment of the Heart-eating Poison Ants is one of them.

You dare!”

Lin Rui smiled upon hearing this and looked down at Yuan Chengkai, “You probably don’t know that just two hours ago, your beloved Yue Tianqing died by my hand!”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chengkai first let out a snort of derision, regarding it with disdain.

Yue Tianqing, a mighty seventh realm overlord, had mostly recovered from his soul injuries; how could he possibly fall so easily?

It wasn’t until he saw Lin Rui take a pair of earrings from his sleeve and toss them in front of Yuan Chengkai, “I took these from Yue Tianqing’s person, casually.

You should recognize them.

At that time she had already transformed into a demon, and her death was quite ugly.”

Yuan Chengkai’s mind went blank, and then he let out a roar of rage from his throat, pouncing toward Lin Rui like a mad dog.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins around his eyes bulged, “I’ll kill you!

You bastard, I’ll slaughter you!

You better not let me out; otherwise, I’ll tear you to pieces!”

The prison guards all changed color, with twenty-four of them desperately pulling on the chains to prevent Yuan Chengkai from gripping Lin Rui and bringing him down.

This guy was incredibly strong; even though he had been subdued with soul-suppressing nails, wore the Pipa Bone to bind him, and had his Golden Core sealed, his physical strength was still unbelievably immense.

All twenty-four prison guards were nearly unable to hold him back as Yuan Chengkai pulled them all over the place.

Ji Xueying saw this and frowned deeply.

Her figure flashed to the front, grabbing one of the chains and pulling hard, instantly rendering Yuan Chengkai unable to move.

“Get out?

I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult.”

Lin Rui couldn’t help but chuckle: “The Divine Envoy has issued a decree to obliterate all the writings associated with Yuan Chengkai since his birth, treating him as a traitorous rebel for swift interrogation by the Bureau of Judicial Review.

If you don’t wish to suffer in the Ant Pit, you had better confess, and disclose all that you know.”

The so-called ‘obliteration of all writings since birth’ meant revoking his official status, canceling all his titles and scholarly honors, and stripping him of political rights for life.

This fellow in front of him couldn’t be considered a scholar or official any longer.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chengkai was utterly dumbfounded, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How could this be?

How could the Emperor strip him of his official status?

How could he be declared a traitorous rebel?

What on earth happened today?

Yuan Chengkai suddenly came back to his senses, recalling that from the start of the day, the prison guard who was supposed to be in contact with him and keep him informed of the outside world, had not shown up at all.

Lin Rui was no longer interested in Yuan Chengkai and, following the lead of the prison guard, moved to another cell.

This cell held a certain eighth realm mage by the surname Zhu, whom Lin Rui already knew to be named Zhu Tiantang.

This person, after hearing Lin Rui’s question, let out a bitter laugh: “It wasn’t that we wanted to assassinate you, to take the life of you, the dog official.

It’s just that I was coerced by that foolish woman Yue Tianqing, who had a hold on me, and I had no choice but to carry out this foolish deed.”

“`

His words were filled with rage and hatred as he gnashed his teeth, “Yue Tianqing, that foolish woman, was not only stupid but also insane!

I told her to plan for the long term, and even if we did need to make a move, we shouldn’t do so hastily but rather with a foolproof plan.

Yet she refused to listen, so her death was well deserved!

She should be torn to pieces and left with no grave to rest in!”

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Do you mean to say that the assassination attempt was actually carried out by you and Yue Tianqing in private?”

He found this answer a bit absurd and suspected that the other party might be trying to pull the wool over his eyes.

“If we truly intended to strike at you with our strength, would you even have had a chance to survive?

Just the experts in the manor alone, with a proper plan, would guarantee your death, Lin Rui!”

Zhu Tiantang first snorted coldly and then let out a light sigh, “That woman was worried about Yuan Chengkai being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and feared he wouldn’t be able to escape, which is why she pressed me to act.

Now I regret it immensely; first, for being coerced by her and not standing firm to silence her once and for all; second, for not planning thoroughly when we acted, failing to fully commit to assassinating you; and third, for deciding on my own to shelter Yue Tianqing in the manor to recover from her injuries.

The reason you were able to find your way here must be because of the poison in her body, right?”

Lin Rui couldn’t judge the truthfulness of Zhu Tiantang’s words, as he sized up the Martial Cultivator in a sorry state.

He then asked, “So who was it that directed you, and who are your accomplices?”

This was a late-stage Eighth Realm Martial Cultivator, equivalent to a two-star Marshal of the Earth Federation.

From this, it was evident that the forces behind Zhu Tiantang were far from ordinary.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tiantang let out a cold laugh, looked up at the sky, and fell silent.

The reason he had answered Lin Rui’s questions earlier was because they were of no consequence, and with his heart filled with rage and hatred, he wanted to vent his emotions.

But now Lin Rui wanted to know his accomplices and master?

That was simply a pipe dream.

Zhu Tiantang regretted the foolish act he was forced into with Yue Tianqing, which implicated so many of his comrades and caused a heavy loss to his master.

How could he make another mistake?

Seeing this, Lin Rui didn’t bother to press further and directly left the Divine Envoy’s Office with the Blood Blade, Ji Xueying.

This man was clearly a die-hard, with an unusual willpower.

Lin Rui guessed that he wouldn’t be able to get anything more out of him.

This man was also a high-level practitioner of Eighth Realm martial arts, with powerful Soul Power, capable of separating from his physical body.

Therefore, his self-made truth serum had no effect, and it was better to leave him to the interrogation experts of the Divine Envoy’s Office.

It was at this moment that Zhou Yunfei sent him a message.

Zhou Yunfei: Lin Rui, I’ve tried all sorts of ways to inquire around and I can almost confirm that the smuggling research base you exposed today doesn’t belong to any governmental agency, and it probably doesn’t belong to any major company or private research institution either.

Lin Rui was slightly taken aback after reading the message.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Impossible?

Such a large smuggling research base can’t be operated by just anyone.

Could they not be claiming it because it involves illegal human experiments and they fear repercussions?

Zhou Yunfei: That’s highly possible, but I’m more inclined to believe it’s the work of an anti-government force like the ‘Longevity Society’.

You should investigate thoroughly.

Zhou Yunfei: Legally speaking, the problem isn’t too big.

The Earth Federation not only strictly prohibits illegal human experimentation but also forbids military trade with the Infernal World.

The Light of Inferno is terrifying.

If leaked on a large scale, not only would the people of Tianji Star suffer, but it would also be a huge hassle for us.

Zhou Yunfei: Right now, be careful about your personal safety.

You’ve really stepped on their toes, and the amount of Sixth and Seventh Realm Martial Cultivators lost is substantial.

It’s highly likely they’ll seek revenge on you.

Xue Lingxue’s 5S Squad might not be able to withstand it.

I’ll see if I can arrange one or two more experts to aid you.

Zhou Yunfei had just sent this message when he saw a ‘self-destruct after reading’ video from Lin Rui.

Zhou Yunfei: ??

Lin Rui, what’s this video you sent?

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): It’s the case file about the Heavenly Demon case at our Division Nine.

I’ve managed to get my hands on the file from the archives library.

Do you want to take a look, director?

Zhou Yunfei’s expression became solemn in an instant.

Of course, he wanted to see it, very much so.

Who was that traitorous devil who betrayed his subordinates and left them to die?
