From the figure of that otherworldly Heavenly Demon, she appeared to be a woman, about two meters tall, bound to a cross.
Her hair covered her face, making it difficult to see her features, yet her figure was graceful. The clothes on her body were torn and stained with large patches of blood. She had been tortured until her body was covered with wounds, and her clothing barely covered her.
The key is that after they stepped into this prison cell, their biological chips all started frantically signaling an alarm to them.
This was indeed their kinswoman; the woman’s biological chip was instinctively emitting an emergency SOS signal to the surrounding extraterrestrial travelers, calling for help.
Lin Rui, with hands clasped behind his back, glanced over the woman, then surveyed the surroundings, “Has this prison been fitted with Nullifying Stones?”
...
“Indeed!” At this time, Wen Tailai, the chief clerk from Wang City, hurried over and explained with a bow, “Sir, this prison was constructed at the founding of the nation. It is surrounded by walls ten feet thick made of Ironclad Stone, strong and unbreakable, and clenched within is a layer of Nullifying Stone, along with a complete suppression Array. Speaking solely of defensive capability, it is unique within Wang City Prefecture.”
Lin Rui thought it was no wonder they hadn’t received the SOS signal from their compatriot outside the prison cell; it had been disrupted by the Nullifying Stone.
Nullifying Stone is a material unique to the extremity star, capable not only of blocking electromagnetic signals but also of disrupting quantum communications.
Such a material is extremely expensive, and the Earth Federation considers it a strategic resource.@@@@
It would be quite impressive for a prison to have a few pieces of Nullifying Stone, yet the walls of this prison were inlaid with an entire layer of it.
Only during the prosperous early years of the Great Song dynasty could such a construction be afforded.
It made sense for the officials from the Torture and Inspection Division to place the Heavenly Demon here.

Torture Master Dou Ming also followed down, with a face full of smiles, handing over his waist badge, “Capital Commandant, may I ask you to step outside the prison to speak? Our inspection deputy envoy would like to pass a message to you.”
“No need!” Lin Rui thought that this was just a higher-up making a call, and he had no wish to take it.
Communicating would only bring trouble; the inspection envoy was a high-ranking third-grade official, overseeing criminal justice in a province, responsible for quelling rebellion and calming disputes, redressing grievances, wielding significant authority.
One couldn’t withstand such pressure from a lofty official.
With a slight sweep of his sleeves, he ordered the two leading Imperial Dragon Guards, “From today, you two are promoted to jailers, alternating on duty to guard the prison. Ensure all the inmates are secure, including this Inspector Zhang and the otherworldly Heavenly Demon!
Remember, until it is confirmed that they have no involvement in the bloodshed case in Wang City, no one is to remove these two from the prison. If you two feel confident, you may also try interrogating them, but be gentle, don’t let them perish, or you will be held accountable by me.”
Lin Rui saw that both Imperial Dragon Guards had decent strength, both possessing third realm cultivation, sufficient to be promoted to jailers.
In the future, with the addition of a fourth realm ‘prison chief,’ the security of the jail would be ensured.
As Lin Rui was reaching the end of his statement, his powerful perceptive abilities sharply noticed the ‘otherworldly Heavenly Demon’ suddenly shivering, and a glint of sharpness appeared in her originally lifeless eyes.
Lin Rui’s lips curved slightly upward, thinking she must have understood his words.
Lin Rui shook his head, “I haven’t thought it through for the time being; let’s take one step at a time. Our immediate priorities are to get our hands on those goods, recruit people, and complete the Blood Refinement as soon as possible. Everything else is secondary.”
In fact, there was a fourth priority, and that was to amass as much money as possible.
As for their fellow brethren, they would save them if possible; if not, then it couldn’t be helped.
Lin Rui didn’t mind lending a hand when he was capable, but if it compromised their own safety, Lin Rui couldn’t care less about her life or death.
Wang Sen nodded and stood up, “I’ll go disguise myself now and leave through the back later. I’ve checked earlier; our backyard is adjacent to a river channel, which is convenient and covert for entering and exiting. Of course, this also means others could come in, so we must be extra careful in the future, ensuring reliable personnel are watching over it.”
He needed to get to the different-kind management bureau’s branch as soon as possible to bring back those goods.
Wang Sen was looking forward to the strength enhancers he had ordered on loan, anticipating that these potions could raise his strength by a significant margin.
Blood Blade Ji would also see a substantial increase in combat power.
Lin Rui had invested heavily in Ji Xueying, pouring in millions, not only getting her DNA tested but also purchasing several types of strength enhancers.
She would be a Fourth Realm Sovereign enhanced by the federal biotech!
Just then, Wen Tailai hurriedly walked in and called out at the door, “Sir, the Prefectural Governor of our province has come for a visit!”
The Prefectural Governor?
Lin Rui’s eyes narrowed, knowing that this governor must have come because of the inspection officer incident.
According to Zhuang Mingyue, the Prefectural Governor of this province was surnamed Li, named Li Changguo, born of a distinguished family from the imperial line, with cultivation in the fifth realm, and possessing profound and unfathomable combat strength, more formidable than Zhu Tianmao.
Before he could react further, a figure dressed in a crimson official robe appeared at the entrance of the inner court.
In the system of the dynasty, the fifth and sixth ranks wore blue, while ranks from the fourth to the first wore crimson.
And the rank of the Prefectural Governor of Wang City was indeed just below the fourth rank; he strode in like a dragon and a tiger, calling as he walked, “Where is Capital Commandant Lin? I, Li Changguo, am here on official business and have come for a visit.”
His voice was like a mighty bell, and it actually vibrated all the buildings in the inner court, causing dust to fall from above with a ‘buzzing’ sound.
Upon entering the courtyard, Li Changguo saw Lin Rui seated in the hall. A hint of a smirk flashed in his eyes as he took a step towards Lin Rui and reached for his shoulder.
“I have heard that Capital Commandant Lin has arrested my subordinate Inspector Zhang. May I ask what’s the reason behind this?”
Not only did he suppress Lin Rui’s Divine Sense with an overpowering one, but his palm also emitted a great absorbing force, immobilizing Lin Rui’s body!
Being just a mere third realm, how dare he act so recklessly under his governance, with only a fourth realm Blood Blade Ji to rely on?
It was at that moment, Li Changguo saw a cluster of thunderous light explode violently before him.
And next to him, Blood Blade Ji also swung her blade fearlessly, aiming at his neck.
Li Changguo’s pupils shrank slightly, revealing a trace of surprise, “Hmm?”
