Chapter 96: Transformation into a Dragon (Three more updates, please subscribe)

Lin Rui's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there would be a war spirit in such a small place as Yinyue County.

He is actually at the rank of Lieutenant General, which is equivalent to the late stage of the sixth realm of Tianjixing's martial arts, 'Dragon Transformation', and he already has his own 'dragon'!
Lin Rui did not rush to grab it, but asked in his mind.

"Ringwraith, can I know the training direction of this war spirit?"

If the war spirit he captured is not compatible with the nature of his own martial arts, wouldn’t he be at a loss?
Another message appeared in his mind.

Tip: The Battle Spirit Ring is not powerful enough and identification failed.

Lin Rui suddenly understood that this was the Ringwraith reminding him that it was time to recharge.

"Ring Spirit, help me use 5850 soul points to repair the Battle Spirit Ring and continue to query the direction of the Battle Spirit's skills."

Previously, the completeness of the Battle Spirit Ring was 14.15%. By investing another 5850 points, it can be restored to 20%.

Following Lin Rui's thoughts, the Battle Spirit Ring first heated up slightly, and the surface of the ring also emitted a strange red light, especially the eye sockets of the skull, the luster was particularly creepy.

Lin Rui knew that others could not see the skull ring on his hand, but he still subconsciously put his hand into his sleeve to cover his fingers.

Then two more pieces of information came into his mind.

Tip: Identification is successful. This war spirit possesses dragon-level fire-attribute martial arts, dragon-level light-attribute martial arts, high-level thunder-attribute martial arts, and high-level body-refining techniques.

Tip: The repair of the Battle Spirit Ring has entered the third stage, requiring 30000 soul points to repair it to 30%.

Lin Rui couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Dragon-grade fire attributes and high-grade thunder attributes? There's also a body refining method and light attributes? So, it seems this war spirit is barely usable.

But the next stage of repairing the Battle Spirit Ring actually requires 30000 soul points? It doesn't seem like much. Clearing two or three more Blood Lizard Gang strongholds will be enough.

As soon as this thought popped up in Lin Rui's mind, he quickly shook his head.

He thought that he must have been led astray by War Spirit No. 1 to come up with such a terrible idea. He hoped that the next War Spirit No. 2 would not be as crazy as Xue Bogao.

"Ringwraith, help me catch this war spirit."

Tip: Failed to capture the war spirit, the war spirit ring is not powerful enough, your distance is too far, the war spirit is 1.3 kilometers below you, and there is strong radiation interference. Please approach within meters and eliminate the radiation before capturing it.

Lin Rui couldn't help but frown and looked at the pit in front of him.

1.3 kilometers below? And there's strong radiation interference? Could this war spirit also be related to what happened today?

His communication with the Ringwraiths was only a moment, while everyone was still investigating and sensing the situation in the pit.

The pit is not big, only five meters wide and long. You can see that the four walls of the pit are paved with strips of green stone.

They couldn't see anything further down, mainly because there was a dazzling purple light inside the pit, which prevented them from seeing the bottom.

And just a breath later, the faces of Cao Jun and several other captains and deputy captains flushed, revealing expressions of pain.

Only Wang Sen and Ximen Shou, a captain of the police who practiced ice-based magic, were safe and sound.

Zhang Tianchang only took one look and knew that it was the purple crystal below the pit that caused the purple crystal dust accumulated in the bodies of Cao Jun and others to react violently.

He himself felt unbearable, and his internal organs felt like they were on fire.

Zhang Tianchang flicked his sleeves and said, "Stand back!"

He felt gloomy, thinking that Cao Jun's men were of no help.

At this moment, a white figure suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the pit.

Everyone's expressions were startled when they saw this, and they all looked alert and cautious.

Lin Rui's grip on the knife tightened suddenly, and lightning flashed on the blade.

He then raised his eyebrows: "It's you?"

He recognized the white figure as Li Qiufeng, the high priest of the fourth realm of the Demon Cult.

Li Qiufeng also sensed them. She didn't rush up, but stopped 20 meters below the pit, holding onto the rock wall with one hand. This position was perfect for avoiding attacks from Zhang Tianchang and others.

She looked up and said, "Captain Zhang, Captain Lin? Are you also here regarding the incident at the Yuanjing mine?"

Zhang Tianchang's gaze was sharp as a knife as he examined Li Qiufeng from head to toe. "You are Li Qiufeng, the High Priestess of the Fourth Realm of the Demon Cult. Why are you here? Did you collude with County Lieutenant Zhu Lingshi to orchestrate today's events?"

He was mindful of time and spoke rapidly, almost without pausing.

"I'm a complete stranger to your county lieutenant, so how could I be colluding with him? Quite the contrary. I noticed that the city was covered in crystal dust and the fire element was raging, potentially causing the deaths of thousands of my followers. So I followed the trail and came here to investigate."

Li Qiufeng flew up without any precautions and landed opposite Zhang Tianchang. "You want to go down here? I don't recommend it. The purple crystal vein beneath this cave is enormous, and the Yang Fire Energy it releases is vast and overwhelming. Even someone like me who specializes in Thunder and Fire would feel uncomfortable inside."

Master Du sneered when he heard this: "Who knows whether what you said is true or not?"

The Church of Light is the mortal enemy of the Imperial City Bureau.

The real identity of Master Du is the magician hired by Zhuang Mingyue. He can only be regarded as a retainer of the seventh-rank inspector and is not part of the Imperial City Administration. However, he is also full of malice and vigilance towards the Church of Light.

Previously, Li Qiufeng led the followers of the Church of Light to patrol the city, and Master Du and his servants wanted to disperse and suppress them, but unfortunately they did not have enough power at the time and could only choose to endure.

Lin Rui raised his hand and said, "Mr. Du, let's first listen to what Priest Li has to say."

Lin Rui judged that it was unlikely that the high priest was colluding with the county lieutenant. This would not be good for the Church of Light. What was the point of sacrificing thousands of believers?
The key is his superhuman perception, which enabled him to sense some traces of battle remaining on Li Qiufeng's body.

This woman had experienced a fierce battle before rushing out of the pit.

He looked at Li Qiufeng: "Priest Li, I want to know what's going on down there now? Have you seen my Blood Blade Princess?"

"I just met your Blood Blade Princess. She's in a very awkward situation right now. Her parents and siblings are all held hostage by the county lieutenant. She doesn't dare to fight or escape, so she can only run around down there, waiting for an opportunity."

Li Qiufeng gave a bitter laugh: "As for the specific situation below, I will directly map it out for you to see."

She raised her hand and formed a magical spell, using her magical power to distort the surrounding light, projecting several illusory images around her. "Look carefully! This is what I saw when I entered the deepest part of the mine a hundred breaths ago. It's what you see in the image. There are a large number of demons and devil cultivators inside. This is just what I saw. Your county's Dianshi Jiang Hanzhang and that county lieutenant are among them. The key is this person."

Li Qiufeng nodded in the center of an illusory image: "If my perception is correct, this sixth-rank eunuch should be a fifth-level master!"

Everyone present couldn't help but look at the person that Li Qiufeng pointed at when they heard this.

The man was about thirty years old, wearing the official uniform of a sixth-rank eunuch, with a jade belt around his waist. He had a fair face and no beard, and handsome eyes and brows. Perhaps out of habit, his waist was naturally slightly bent.

Zhang Tianchang's face turned even paler. The fifth realm, 'Dragon Shedding', was an overwhelming force in their Yinyue County.

Master Du's voice also became hoarse. "This man should be called Zhu Tianmao. He is the uncle of the county lieutenant. He entered the palace when he was young and is currently a trusted eunuch of His Royal Highness the King of Han."

When he saw this man, he knew that there was no hope for the Yinyue County before him.

I didn't expect that Eunuch Zhu would come here in person.

This meant that they had completely lost hope of turning the situation around, and that everyone in Silver Moon County was doomed to die—

Lin Rui was secretly shocked when he heard this. He then noticed that in front of this sixth-rank eunuch, there was a crystal coffin made entirely of purple Yao Yuan crystal.

Inside the crystal coffin lay a young woman wearing a bright red robe and bone armor, whose appearance and figure were somewhat similar to those of Blood Knife Princess.

"Who is this woman?" Zhang Tianchang also noticed her. He raised his hand and pointed at the purple crystal coffin, asking in a serious tone, "Judging from her appearance, she seems to be a Blood Blade Princess as well?"

Lin Rui couldn't help but turn his head and look at Wang Sen next to him.

A guess emerged in their minds - this woman was most likely the general named Ji Shenyan who caused the fire in Yinyue County 6700 years ago.

According to the local historical materials of Shazhou collected by the Earth Federation, there is a 90% chance that Ji Shenyan was a female, and her cultivation level during her lifetime was at the peak of the Sixth Realm!

In order to defend Yinyue County, this person took the initiative to transform into a powerful demon. However, the history books do not mention its type, but only speculate that it was ultimately transformed into a seventh-level fire demon! This caused a fire in Yinyue County.

Lin Rui also understood in an instant the origin of the lieutenant general-level war spirit sensed by the war spirit ring.

The peak of the Sixth Realm, isn't that the Federation's Lieutenant General rank? This war spirit is most likely Ji Shenyan!

However, its fighting spirit has survived for 6700 years. Isn't that too long?
