In the secret chamber, Feng Shamo was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. Now his whole body was as black as charcoal, and there were many burns on his face. He looked very scary.
Suluan's mouth was also slightly open. She had thought that Leng Shiqi would suffer a little, but now it was Feng Shamo who had made a mess of him!
Leng Shiqi angrily cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Great Pavilion Leader."
"I'm no longer the Great Pavilion Leader. My name is Feng Mo now. I'm here to help you on behalf of the Deputy Pavilion Leader." Feng Shamo stared at Leng Shiqi with shining eyes, and his tone was emotionless.
But in fact, Feng Shamo's heart was still a little shaken.
Back then, he had stepped into the Gang Spirit Realm at a young age and was promoted to Great Pavilion Leader. He had destroyed two third-rate sects in a row and shocked Donglin County.
He was in high spirits!
This also made his ambition grow. He began to gather people to fight for the position of the next Pavilion Leader.
But not long ago, Ink Frost Ghost Man personally came to him and told him about the Blood Seed Project. He also told him that as long as he could help Leng Shiqi carry out the Blood Seed Project smoothly, Ink Frost Ghost Man would secretly support him!
So Feng Shamo came. If he could get Ink Frost Ghost Man's support, his qualification to be the Pavilion Leader's successor would basically be secured.
Leng Shiqi, on the other hand, was just an outstanding back-up in his impression.
When Feng Shamo first met Leng Shiqi, he was still a little Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, not even in the Celestial Realm. He was indeed a weakling.
Even though Feng Shamo knew that he was the winner of the Blood Fog Island, he still didn't pay much attention to him.
So Feng Shamo gave Leng Shiqi a task, which was to break through to the Spiritual Pulse Realm as soon as possible. He wanted to see how talented Leng Shiqi was.
Reality proved that Leng Shiqi had broken through to the Spiritual Pulse Realm within three months, and was indeed worthy of Feng Shamo's attention. Unfortunately, after the Illusory Spirit Secret Realm, Leng Shiqi returned to the Blood Garment Pavilion and started the Blood Seed Project. The two had not met since.
In the previous battle in the courtyard, the more Feng Sha Mo fought, the more frightened he became. This was because he realized that if he didn't use his full strength, he would really be injured by the Leng Shiqi!
Unknowingly, the huge gap between them had shrunk to such an extent!
Even Feng Shamo was a little scared. Would he be surpassed by Leng Shiqi in the future?!
Therefore, Feng Shamo's emotions were very complicated. He could only use indifference to hide his true thoughts.
Suluan noticed that the atmosphere in the room was about to drop to freezing point. She spoke up in a timely manner, "Leng Shiqi, do you have any plans after this? What do we need to do?"
Leng Shiqi thought for a moment, then said, "According to the rules of the Dark Lightning Guard headquarters, every guard unit often has missions. It's just that my twenty-ninth guard unit has just been reorganized and hasn't received a mission yet.
I plan to take the initiative to accept a mission in a few days. With our strength, we can complete a large number of missions and obtain a large amount of merits and experience, which will allow us to advance faster. "
"You're following the prescribed order too closely."
Feng Sha Mo continued, "As far as I know, there are more than one or two senior inspectors in the Dark Lightning Guard headquarters. When will it be your turn?"
"Senior Brother Feng, don't be impatient. Look."
Leng Shiqi took out the Inner Supervisor token and said, "Actually, Eunuch Gao has already given me the Inner Supervisor token. I just need to wait for my cultivation and experience to reach a certain level before I can be promoted on my own!"
Whoosh!
Suluan and Feng Sha Mo's gazes immediately locked onto the token. Their eyes were more or less filled with surprise. Their evaluation of Leng Shiqi had unknowingly increased.
Feng Sha Mo said in a low voice, "Since you've already paved the way, let's do as you say."
Leng Shiqi nodded. He thought of something else and asked, "Senior Brother Feng, Senior Sister Suluan, when will the third person appear? I need to be prepared."
Feng Sha Mo and Suluan looked at each other and shook their heads, "We don't know who the third person is either. The vice pavilion master only said that he would appear at an appropriate time."
This sentence again?
Leng Shiqi had heard enough. This Ink Frost Ghost Man was too good at keeping people in suspense.
Leng Shiqi could only say, "The two of you can cultivate in the secret room for the night. I'll go arrange your accommodations."
After leaving the secret room, Leng Shiqi called He Feichen over and told him that he wanted to accept a mission as soon as possible.
He Feichen said that there was no problem. As long as the courtyard was repaired, everything would be easy to arrange.
Leng Shiqi looked at the ruined courtyard and felt a wave of helplessness. He also realized that no matter where he went recently, he would wreak havoc.
He Feichen was just about to turn and leave when he suddenly stopped. He scratched his head and said, "Sir, we can't accept any missions for the next two days. The day after tomorrow is the regular meeting. You have to attend."
Regular meeting?
Leng Shiqi was confused.
He Feichen slapped his head again, "This subordinate almost forgot. Sir, you don't know about the regular meeting.
The Dark Lightning Guard's headquarters holds this meeting at the end of every month. Anyone with a position higher than the Envoy Inspector has to attend.
This includes the Four Great Stewards. As for whether or not the Commander will be there, that's not certain. "
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi guessed that even if he attended the meeting, he would just be sitting around. Even the Four Great Stewards were there, so where would he get the chance to speak?
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the courtyard had been renovated. Moreover, a few Array Masters had come to set up the Array Formation.
On this day, Leng Shiqi was led by He Feichen to the meeting hall of the Dark Lightning Guard's headquarters.
When he walked in, he found that the place was not small. There were hundreds of seats arranged in a circle.
Leng Shiqi consciously found a corner and sat down. After a while, people came in one after another. Seeing Leng Shiqi, Wu Deyao also sat down.
He said excitedly, "Brother Xingzhi, I've heard about that. You captured a master in the middle stage of Gang Spirit Realm alive.
You're awesome! Some people who were dissatisfied with you before have stopped. Instead, they all regard you as a competitor for the promotion of the Envoy Inspector. "
Leng Shiqi smiled gently. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he chatted with Wu Deyao.
He often locked himself up to practice, so he was not very familiar with other people in the Dark Lightning Guard's headquarters. Under Wu Deyao's introduction, he got to know many people.
At this time, four people came in, which made the meeting hall silent instantly.
They were the four directors!
Leng Shiqi had seen Eunuch Gao and Eunuch Hai. At this moment, he finally saw the other two directors.
Wu Deyao leaned over and said in a low voice, "Brother Xingzhi, that scrawny man with sinister eyes is Chief Steward Li. Li Jue Cheng, you might not know, but there are still factions within the Dark Thunder Guards. The Li family is the most powerful one.
Do you know that a quarter of all the people here are surnamed Li?
Director Li is the most deeply rooted in the Dark Lightning Guard, so it's not easy to provoke him.
As for the burly man on the side, he is Director Shentu, Shentu Zhen. He has practiced martial arts and is invincible in close combat.
He was born in the military and has a close relationship with many generals in the imperial capital.
It's an eye-opener for me to see the four directors at once. "
Leng Shiqi looked at the four chief stewards and realized that among the four of them, Eunuch Gao had a background in the palace. Chief Steward Hai had the most seniority and was highly respected. Chief Steward Li's family faction was deeply rooted.
Sure enough, the position of one of the Four Great Chiefs wasn't something that an ordinary person could sit on!
