Three minutes later, Lin Rui and Luo Wangshu arrived at the colossal underground base of the Heavenly Demon.
This place is located to the southeast of Luojing City, about seventy kilometers away from Lin Mansion.
When they reached this spot, the area was a mess.
From the traces inside the base, the battle that had erupted was extremely fierce, with the internal Heavenly Demons offering tenacious resistance.
Blood and scattered flesh were everywhere, and barely any intact Heavenly Demon corpses could be seen. Along the way, there were numerous broken turrets, as well as the remnants of Combat Robots and Mechas, with various scattered parts strewn across the path ahead.
These turrets and robots were not only densely arranged but also of very high types and ranks, yet they had all been destroyed by the Battle Dragons of the Dragon Guards,
...
However, the bodies of over a dozen Dragon Guards and Battle Dragons were also lying along the path.
Lin Rui saw deep dragon claw marks and sword traces on the walls inside, some reaching as deep as ten or even several dozen meters.
But these walls were extremely sturdy, built with the SS-grade military concrete of the Earth Federation, reaching an astonishing thickness of 56 meters, so that even the full-force combat of Sixth Realm and Seventh Realm experts inside did not affect the surface.
As Lin Rui was inspecting the situation along the way, he headed straight for the Magic Hall near the main courtyard of the base.
When he and Luo Wangshu arrived at the observation room of the Magic Hall, they found that the place was packed with dignitaries. Not only had the Son of Heaven and two Divine Envoys arrived, but also all the leading figures from around Luojing City had hurried over.
Lin Rui saw that the faces of several main and vice military leaders of the Imperial Guard were looking very bad, and several Red Priests and Capital Chief Priests from the Divine Palace who had heard the news appeared to be out of their wits.
This was because approximately 70% of the Heavenly Demon base was built beneath the former barracks of the Imperial Guard, whilst the remaining 30% was situated beneath the temples of the East Abyss.
As a ‘Divine Spirit’, the East Abyss has its own temples, and there are many of them, with almost every county in the East Continent having temples to this entity.
However, unlike the Bright Holy Sect, the priests of the East Abyss do not actively promote their faith.
According to those priests, their Divine Superior does not need indiscriminate beliefs, and for believers who wish to receive consolation or blessings from the gods,
He only requires those who truly believe in Him, trust Him, are loyal to Him, and identify with Him.
Thus the temples of the East Abyss usually lack presence, and the priests inside are rather casual, spreading their teachings as fate wills.
“Duke An?” Han Baxian couldn’t help but narrow his eyes; he had heard that recently Lin Hao had been using his authority to suppress the Duke An Mansion.
So much so that many nobles had gone directly to the Great Celestial Master.
Han Baxian knew that the Great Celestial Master also believed Lin Hao to be motivated by a personal vendetta, and during the loss of the Divine Tablet fragment, even seemed to be neglecting public affairs out of personal bias, somewhat losing sight of the bigger picture.
The Great Celestial Master turned a blind eye because he happened to have thoughts of admonishing the Emperor.
However, looking at the current situation, it is hard to say that Lin Hao was solely motivated by personal grudges against Duke An’s power.
At the very least, he managed to balance both public and private interests; he avenged his sworn sister, Zhou Yunxi, and also caught a worm for Great Song and for the Divine Above.
Nevertheless, Han Baxian still had one thing he couldn’t figure out.
He saw Lin Rui looking around the interior of the Magic Hall, and with a smile, gestured with his hand, beckoning Lin Rui to walk with him toward the already shattered glass of the observation room.
“Brother Lin, the achievements of this case can be said to be splendid, with the battle resulting in the deaths of Heavenly Demon mages, including six from the Eight Realms, eighteen from the Seventh Realm, and one mage from the Ninth Realm-although only at early-stage Cultivation, his bloodline was strong enough to reach Emperor Rank.
In addition, over 1300 people from the Fifth Realm and below, 800 people from the Fifth Realm, and 54 Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioners from the Sixth and Seventh Realms were slain! Furthermore, more than a thousand people from the base’s internal staff were captured.”
Due to Lin Rui’s advance deployment of the Heavenly Eye, the majority of Outer Heaven Demons in this Heavenly Demon base were unable to escape.
Once all passages were sealed and marked by the Heavenly Eye, they simply did not flee and defended the base to the death, causing massive casualties to both the Divine Guard army and the Spy Detection Bureau...
Han Baxian felt honored; he had taken a ten thousand Divine Gold banknote from Lin Hao and risked facilitating connections for Lin Hao, using the Heavenly Eye tonight.
Yet, this brought him an immense amount of merit, and even a great chance to receive a Divine Merit Order,
Such that Han Baxian felt somewhat remorseful, thinking it was not quite right to eat and take so much from someone?
However, it also didn’t seem right to just return the ten thousand Divine Gold to Lin Hao; Han Baxian could only decide to look out more for his good friend in the future.
Before that, though, there was one matter Han Baxian had to clarify.
Han Baxian’s voice paused, lowering his tone: “Brother Lin, I actually have something I don’t understand; if I’m not mistaken, the target of these mages was actually you and your Protective Demon, right? I would like to know how you broke their magic?”
—The key was that he not only broke the magic but also caused a total of twenty-five high-level mages to suffer backlash and die.
Even though Han Baxian deliberately kept his voice down, the many Ninth Realm experts surrounding them, including the Emperor, all moved their eyes slightly, straining their ears to listen.
