Chapter 184: Chapter 177: Unexpected Changes in the Sky (Subscription Requested) Chapter 184: Chapter 177: Unexpected Changes in the Sky (Subscription Requested) Lin Rui furrowed his brow deeply as soon as he finished reading the content of the letter.
He clasped his hands towards the three people in front of him, “Gentlemen, Lin has an urgent matter to attend to and must take his leave first.
Farewell!”
Prefectural Governor Dong Linghui had already noticed the uneasy expression on his face and immediately replied, “Master Lin, please proceed with your affairs, leave the finishing up to us three.”
However, Prefectural Governor Li Changguo’s brow furrowed slightly, “Master Lin, regarding the security and defense of the city, I will hand it over to you tomorrow morning.
I will try my best to accommodate the conditions you mentioned earlier.”
This was because he noticed that after Lin Rui mounted the iron-scale horse, he did not head towards Wang City, but instead dashed northwards towards Tianyue County.
Lin Rui knew that Li Changguo was reminding him to prioritize the city’s security.
Riding on the horse, he turned back smiling and clasped his fists, “Rest assured, Your Excellency.
Lin has everything under control and will surely rush back to Wang City by noon tomorrow.”
Worried that the demon dragon might overhear, he used a spell to transmit his voice directly into Li Changguo’s ears.
...
The three people behind him exchanged glances.
In their eyes, young Lin Rui was somewhat astute, having remained calm and composed even when previously facing a siege by a horde of demons.
Yet, after reading the letter, he had shown a look of horror.

It was clear that something urgent had arisen, and it was unknown if this would impact Wang City.
Lin Rui’s face turned pale as he spurred his horse into a mad dash northwards for hundreds of miles, then switched to another iron-scale horse provided by Ji Xueying.
Ji Xueying stood behind him the entire time.
She was light as drifting snow, standing on the saddle behind Lin Rui, exerting no pressure on her feet.
Her expression questioned, “Master, what exactly has happened?”
“A big disaster, a huge trouble!”
Lin Rui sighed, “You’ll know when we get there.
Indeed, one can only rely on oneself.
Relying on the mountain, the mountain collapses; relying on people, people fall.
None can be relied upon.”
After hearing this, Ji Xueying was confused, but she curbed her curiosity.
He continued his frantic rush northwards, covering over 500 miles.
By midnight, Lin Rui entered the territory of Tianyue County and arrived at the top of a hill, looking out in all directions.
“Qu Luo County, one hundred thirty miles east of Taoyuan Township, a piece of forest, a small hill shaped like a crouching tiger—”
Lin Rui’s gaze immediately locked onto a small mountain about two hundred zhang high, astonishingly, the surrounding primeval forest looked as if it had been struck by a meteor.
Not only were there large swathes of broken, fallen trees, but there also appeared several massive pits spanning several miles.
Clearly, a fierce battle had taken place here, with both parties having cultivation levels of at least sixth realm, each possessing battle dragons, powerful enough to shoulder mountains and seas!
By this time, the two iron-scale horses he brought were foaming at the mouth, so the two of them had to proceed on foot.
However, with Ji Xueying leading the way, their speed was even faster.
The location mentioned in the letter was nestled within a hollow in the southern foothills of Wo Hu Mountain.
As Lin Rui approached, he sensed shouts emanating from within.
“We’ve found someone.
They are in this hollow.”
“Elders inside!

We are from Burning Saber Sect, bearing no ill intentions.
We came to check the situation as we heard the fierce fighting earlier!”
“She seems to be injured, covered in blood!”
“That’s her battle dragon next to her!
It looks severely damaged and can’t move.”
“This is it!
The girl was extremely disappointed, as these healing elixirs were of little use to her.
But then again, having them was better than nothing.
She directly picked up the elixir bottles and poured all the pills into her mouth.
“Lin Twelve, do you have any meat with you?
I can smell the blood.”
Lin Rui signaled to Ji Xueying behind him, and she immediately nodded, her figure vanishing in a flash.
Soon after, she returned carrying two iron scale horses and threw them in front of the battle dragon.
These were brought by the people of the Burning Saber Sect, totaling twenty-four.
The battle dragon then opened a pair of dark golden eyes, grabbed an iron scale horse, gutted it, and then threw it into its mouth to eat raw, making crunching noises.
It swiftly devoured two horses, showing a look of unfulfilled craving.
Blood Blade Ji then brought in two more iron scale horses and dropped them in front of the battle dragon.
‘Battle dragons’ are essentially no different from demons.
The only difference is that demons transform themselves, while battle dragons are demonic entities separated from a human body.
Lin Rui, however, noticed that after the girl took the elixir, not only did her aura not improve, but her face turned even paler, covered in cold sweat.
This was because the injuries that the girl had suppressed were now fully erupting.
Lin Rui was secretly alarmed, thinking that this was not a good sign, hoping that the woman would not die in front of him.
He hesitated, “Heavenly official, I have something that might help you recover some of your injuries; however, it originated from the Heavenly Demon and was previously owned by Yuan Ji.
I’m not sure if you—”
It was a type 5 regenerative injection, indeed from Yuan Ji.
It was that night Lin Rui had assimilated Yuan Ji’s Primordial Spirit and gained a part of his memories.
Afterwards, he found it in a hidden cellar in this guy’s estate.
There were six injections in total, and he had specifically shown them to the Prefectural Governor and others to prove his innocence.
The girl’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, “Oh?
A demon injection, is it?
I have no qualms, let me see it!”
Lin Rui no longer feigned ignorance and immediately took out an injection from his bosom and held it in his hand.
After the girl took the injection and glanced at it, her face immediately lit up with joy, “A type 5 repair solution?
Heaven has not abandoned me.”
Although the injection could not help her recover much, it could stop her condition from worsening.
She skilfully injected the liquid from the syringe into her neck.
“You really saved my life this time!”
As soon as the injection entered, a flush appeared on the girl’s face, “I thought I was surely doomed this time, only hoping that my remains wouldn’t fall into others’ hands.”
She then became alert, her eyes sharply focused as she said, “Lin Twelve, now go quickly to the north, eighty li away, and search the area.
The rogue who fought me earlier is also gravely injured, and his injuries won’t be much lighter than mine.
He is very likely in a coma now!”
Lin Rui was actually quite curious.
As far as he knew, this Dream Heavenly Official was a Sixth Realm Super Emperor!
Stronger than many in the Seventh Realm!
What kind of opponent had he encountered today to be injured to such an extent, nearly dying?
The girl’s next words, however, sent a huge shock through him, almost causing his face to drastically change.
“If you find him, see if there’s a chance to kill him, but be very careful, prioritize your safety.”
The girl furrowed her brows and looked towards the north, “That rogue’s name is Fei Yunlai!
He is an extremely ferocious extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, a notorious criminal listed on the Great Song Imperial List, so you must be cautious!
Especially be wary of his protector demon, which might still have some mobility.”
Lin Rui’s mood at the moment was indescribable.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that it was indeed a case of misfortune raining down upon him.
The two powerful reinforcements he had long awaited, how did they end up here clashing and both being severely injured!
