The starlight illuminated the world. Although it was just a flash, it still attracted some people's attention!
The Huangchuan Tribe immediately took action and tried their best to block the news. Anyone who saw it was either killed or given a lot of benefits to keep their mouths shut.
However, this news was still leaked out!
At this moment, in Ningyang County's Dark Thunder Manor, Li Zhangtao was furious!
Because three days had passed and he still hadn't found any trace of Leng Shiqi. It was as if this person had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Not only Leng Shiqi, but the two people he brought with him were also the same!
"Trash, a bunch of trash!"
Li Zhangtao scolded the few senior supervisors under his command, "How could you just watch three living people disappear right in front of your eyes?
Who are you?
You are the Dark Thunder Guards!
You can't even find traces of three people. What else can you do? Do you still deserve to be the Dark Thunder Guards? "
Li Zhangtao was anxious. Leng Shiqi had been in Ningyang County for several days, but he couldn't find any trace of Leng Shiqi. It was even more impossible for him to know what Leng Shiqi was doing.
Why did Leng Shiqi come to Ningyang County?
He was here to seize power!
Since he was here to seize power, of course he couldn't just hide. Li Zhangtao thought that Leng Shiqi must be hiding in the dark and planning something!
As the saying goes, it's easier to dodge an open spear than an arrow in the dark. Li Zhangtao was now in the dark. He didn't know when Leng Shiqi would make a move, and he didn't know what methods Leng Shiqi would use.
Therefore, he was really anxious. He no longer had the confidence that he had on the first day that he had everything under control.
The four inspectors, including Lin Jiegui, all kept their mouths shut. They didn't even dare to breathe. They had indeed messed up this matter and deserved to be scolded.
But they couldn't really be blamed.
Leng Shiqi and the other two people's cultivations were too high. To be honest, only the four inspectors and Li Zhangtao himself could keep up with their speed.
But they couldn't possibly do it themselves. But other than them, it was impossible for their subordinates to track down Leng Shiqi and the other two!
Lin Jiegui and the other three were well aware of this, but none of them dared to say it out loud. If anyone said it out loud, it was very likely that they would be sent by Li Zhangtao to find the whereabouts of Leng Shiqi.
This was a tough job, and no one was willing to do it.
Therefore, they obediently waited for Li Zhangtao to finish scolding and cool down. Lin Jiegui then took the opportunity to change the topic. "Sir Li, I heard that the Huangchuan Tribe has made a lot of movements in the past two days. They even destroyed the Wasteland Tribe."
"Hmph."
How could Li Zhangtao not see through Lin Jiegui's thoughts? But he still said, "I know about this. Hopper doesn't know how to appreciate favors. But we can't do anything about it. The people of the Discipline Commission will look for him."
On the other hand, Lin Jiegui chuckled and said mysteriously, "Sir, actually, your humble servant has also found a piece of shocking good news."
"Don't keep me in suspense. If you have something to say, just say it," Li Zhangtao said impatiently.
Lin Jiegui lowered his voice and said, "Your humble servant has just received a report that the Starpoint Mine of the Huangchuan Tribe shone with starlight yesterday. It seems that a rare treasure has appeared."
"Oh?
The Huangchuan Tribe again? "Recently, Li Zhangtao had often heard news about this tribe. This was too strange.
There must be something fishy about this. The recent series of movements of the Huangchuan Tribe must be fishy!
Could it be that all of this had something to do with this so-called rare treasure?
Li Zhangtao asked, "Tell me the details."
As soon as he asked, Lin Jiegui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally succeeded in changing the topic. He hurriedly said, "It's strange. There were no signs of the Starpoint Mine. Right after Hopper attacked the Wasteland Tribe, a mysterious starlight suddenly erupted!
After that, Hopper even sealed off the news. Hmph, but there's no secret in front of my Dark Thunder Guards. My spies still found out.
It's said that there's a treasure hidden thousands of feet deep in the Starpoint Mine! "
"Really?" Li Zhangtao revealed an expression of interest when he heard this.
It wasn't rare for there to be a rare treasure beneath the Starpoint Mine. For example, the Wasteland Gem that the Wasteland Tribe was so proud of was dug out from the depths of the Starpoint Mine.
"There's definitely a treasure, but I can't say for sure what kind of treasure it is." Lin Jiegui didn't give a definite answer.
Li Zhangtao waved his hand. "Who cares what kind of treasure it is? Go and inform Hopper that the Dark Thunder Guards want it."
However, Lin Jiegui was somewhat hesitant. "Your Excellency, there's something that I don't know if I should say."
"Enough, hurry up and say it." Li Zhangtao was somewhat impatient.
"The Huangchuan Tribe has just destroyed the Wasteland Tribe. It's reasonable to say that the people of the Discipline Commission will hold them accountable. If news of this treasure reaches the Discipline Commission, it won't be our turn."
Li Zhangtao slammed the table. "You're right. Those people from the Discipline Commission have always been jealous of us. If they really know about the treasure, they won't let it go.
How about this? Go and negotiate with Hopper immediately. Tell him that as long as they give the treasure to us, I'll help them block the Discipline Commission and save them a lot of trouble.
I'll personally make a trip to the Discipline Commission. "
"Your humble servant understands." Lin Jiegui hurried to the Starpoint Mine as quickly as possible.
When he arrived, he saw Hopper personally standing guard here!
Lin Jiegui was even more convinced after seeing Hopper. He went straight to the point. "Hopper, I'll tell you the truth. Lord Li already knows about the phenomenon at the Starpoint Mine.
If the Huangchuan Tribe doesn't want the mine to be seized, hand over the treasure obediently. "
Hopper was puzzled. "What are you talking about, Lord Lin? Why don't I understand?"
"Hmph!
Stop pretending. "
Lin Jiegui sneered. "In the Thunderflame Dynasty, who can compare to the Dark Thunder Guards in terms of intelligence?
Do you think you're foolproof just because you shut some people's mouths? You're underestimating the Dark Thunder Guards too much! "
Hopper's expression changed. "As expected, I can't hide from you."
Lin Jiegui laughed. "Hahaha, Hopper, you better know your limits. You won't have a good ending if you make an enemy of the Dark Thunder Guards.
Besides, Lord Li said that as long as you're willing to hand over the treasure, we can help you solve the Discipline Commission's problem. The Huangchuan Tribe won't lose out at all. "
Hopper fell silent, but Lin Jiegui was very confident. He was sure that Hopper would give in under the carrot and stick.
As expected, Hopper said before long, "I can agree, but I have a condition."
Lin Jiegui was delighted, but he didn't show it on his face. On the contrary, he said with a straight face, "Hopper, you don't seem to have the right to make conditions."
"Sigh."
Hopper sighed deeply. "Then, Lord Lin, do you know why I didn't go down despite knowing that there are treasures below?
It's because it's dangerous down there, and the Huangchuan Tribe alone isn't enough to take the treasure. "
