Lei Muyan and Eunuch Gao, these two are not only the higher-ups of the Discipline Commission and the Dark Thunder Guards, they also have very high statuses.
Lei Muyan is a Junzhu, while Eunuch Gao is one of His Majesty's personal attendants!
It can be said that these two are deeply imprinted with the mark of the Thunderflame Dynasty, engraved with the mark of the imperial family!
The moment the two of them appear, a slight noise immediately resounds in the hall.
Whether it's the Dark Thunder Guards or the Discipline Commission, Lei Muyan and Eunuch Gao are the superiors of superiors.
It's rare for everyone to see them on a daily basis. Their appearance here at the same time naturally causes a commotion.
However, these two have grave expressions on their faces, especially Eunuch Gao, whose eyes reveal a bit of gloominess.
Wherever his gaze passes, everyone lowers their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Eunuch Gao looks around at everyone. Only when he sees Leng Shiqi, his expression slightly pauses.
He and Lei Muyan walk to the top of the hall. After they sit down, everyone stands up and says in unison: "Greetings Steward Gao, greetings Punishment Envoy Lei."
Eunuch Gao sits expressionlessly, without any intention of opening his mouth to speak.
Lei Muyan smiles sweetly and says: "Everyone is too courteous, please sit."
After everyone sits down, Lei Muyan continues: "Since everyone is able to sit here, you must be the young elites of various provinces and counties, and will be the pillars of my Thunderflame Dynasty in the future.
According to the usual practice of previous years, there will be a test after the Elite Meeting begins. I believe you all know about this. "
Speaking to here, Lei Muyan changes the topic, "But this year is different from the past."
Hearing this, everyone shows a puzzled expression, but they don't ask any questions.
"In the past, it was called a test, but this year, to be more precise, it should be a mission!"
Lei Muyan's eyes faintly reveal traces of cold light, "The mission this time must be completed. There is only success, no failure!
And those who perform outstandingly in the mission can enter the next round of the Elite Meeting. As for the others, they can go back to where they came from. "
Leng Shiqi also frowns slightly. They actually came here to complete a mission, and it's a mission that must be completed!
Hearing Lei Muyan's tone, that mission is probably not simple.
At this moment, Lei Muyan hinted to City Lord Feng Lun. Feng Lun took two steps forward and waved his arm, shooting out a ball of green light.
The green light condensed into three lines of words in the air, each of which was ten feet away from the other.
Everyone who saw these words secretly sucked in a breath of cold air, including Leng Shiqi!
The three lines read, "Destroy the second-rate sect, the Great Righteousness Sect."
"Destroy the second-rate sect, the Salt Clan."
"Destroy the second-rate sect, Extreme Fire Manor!"
Their mission was to destroy these spirit cultivator forces?
And all of them were second-rate sects?!
Feng Lun said, "There are three missions here. You can freely choose one of them. Those who choose the same mission will form a team.
From now on, you can't rely on the power and help behind you. You'll have to rely on your own abilities to complete the mission. "
As soon as this was said, many people looked at each other.
These three missions were to destroy second-rate forces. Although more than ninety percent of the people present had the cultivation of the Spirit Aperture Realm, if they all attacked together, it was indeed possible to destroy a second-rate sect.
But now, they had to be separated into three groups. This way, it would be very difficult to destroy a second-rate sect!
Assuming that the number of people in each group was about the same, there would only be a little over twenty people. Theoretically speaking, it was impossible to complete the mission with so few people!
Of course, if the mission was simple, there would be no need for these elites gathered from all over the empire to do it.
Leng Shiqi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the three missions. He had stayed in Donglin County for a period of time, so he was quite clear about the forces here.
The Great Righteousness Sect was a rather interesting sect. This sect didn't accept disciples based on aptitude or talent, but based on whether or not you had the code of brotherhood!
In the Great Righteousness Sect, brotherhood was the most important!
The Great Righteousness Sect walked the world with the code of brotherhood, eliminating violence and bringing peace to the people.
But the Thunderfire Empire actually wanted to destroy such a sect?
Leng Shiqi's thoughts turned rapidly. He could only think of one possibility, and that was that the Great Righteousness Sect was a vassal sect of the Mountain Sea Sect!
It could also be said that the Great Righteousness Sect was a pawn of the Mountain Sea Sect.
The Thunderfire Empire saw the Mountain Sea Sect as a thorn in their side, so they wanted to get rid of their pawn first!
Leng Shiqi's thoughts weren't without reason, because it wasn't just the Great Righteousness Sect, but also the Salt Gang!
The Salt Gang was a sect that made a fortune in the salt transportation business. The Salt Gang controlled more than half of the salt transportation business in Donglin County, so they were simply overflowing with wealth.
Such a sect would be coveted by many people, but the Salt Gang was very smart. They took the initiative to become a vassal of the Mountain Sea Sect. Every year, they would hand over 50% of their profits to the Mountain Sea Sect in order to protect themselves.
Therefore, the Salt Gang could be considered the Mountain Sea Sect's money bag!
Whether it was the Great Righteousness Sect or the Salt Gang, it was understandable that they were on the Thunderfire Empire's blacklist, but Leng Shiqi felt that it was a little strange that the Extreme Fire Manor was also on the list.
The Extreme Fire Manor was originally far away from the Mountain Sea Sect, and it also didn't have any connections with the Mountain Sea Sect, so why was it also on the Thunderfire Empire's blacklist?
Looking at the three missions, Leng Shiqi began to think about which one to choose.
Not only him, but the others were also whispering in low voices. Some of the people who were familiar with each other also gathered in groups of three to five to discuss.
Leng Shiqi and Delta Aurigae silently looked at each other, wanting to seek her opinion. Delta Aurigae slightly shrugged her shoulders, indicating that it didn't matter what she chose.
Leng Shiqi wasn't in a hurry to choose, so he decided to see what the others chose first.
Not long after, a group of people walked forward and stood in front of the different missions.
Time slowly passed, and Leng Shiqi realized that the number of people for the three missions was about the same.
Although it was said that the more people there were, the easier it would be to complete the mission, don't forget that the mission this time still depended on your performance and contribution!
The more people there were, the lower the chances of you being able to stand out!
Therefore, everyone tacitly agreed to split up so that the number of people for each mission was about the same. This was the best choice.
In the end, there were only a few people left who hadn't made their choice. Leng Shiqi had thought about it for a long time. He stepped forward and stood in front of the mission to destroy the Extreme Fire Manor!
There were three reasons why he chose the Extreme Fire Manor.
First, the Extreme Fire Manor wasn't close to the Mountain Sea Sect, so he didn't need to worry about the Mountain Sea Sect's support when dealing with the Extreme Fire Manor.
Second, the Extreme Fire Manor's location was close to the Shadowwind Ridge. If he really couldn't do it, he could ask for help from the branch's assassins.
As for the third reason, Leng Shiqi still remembered that Nine Leave had said that the Extreme Fire Manor had a very precious treasure!
A treasure that even a Rank Seven Great Demon like Nine Leave coveted was definitely something good!
