In a dark room deep within the Dark Thunder Manor of the Imperial Capital, a figure was sitting there. Threads of chilling air permeated the entire room.
This person was one of the four managers, Li Zhangtao!
Suddenly, an ethereal voice sounded in the room, "My lord, everything has been arranged. The area within a hundred miles of the teleportation formation is under our control. As long as Liu Xingzhi shows up, he will definitely die!"
Li Jue Cheng didn't say anything. He nodded silently. The killing intent in his eyes was chilling!
Leng Shiqi dared to take his Ningyang County, so he must pay the price, the price of death!
On the other side, Leng Shiqi knew that Li Jue Cheng was very narrow-minded. It was very likely that Li Jue Cheng would obstruct him or even kill him halfway, so he decided not to use the teleportation formation.
Anyway, his "Fate" skill could teleport him two thousand miles. The Gu King's flying ability was also very fast. He could travel several hundred miles in a day in a straight line. So even if he didn't use the teleportation formation, he could still return to the imperial capital within a month!
This way, no matter what Li Jue Cheng did, he wouldn't be able to stop him from reaching the imperial capital.
Hongzhou City was a famous transportation route in the Thunder Flame Dynasty. It connected four or five counties around it. It was very prosperous. At the same time, a teleportation formation was secretly built in the city.
Half a month later, Feng Shamo and Suluan arrived at Hongzhou City. As soon as they entered the city, Feng Shamo frowned. He transmitted his voice to Suluan, "We are being watched."
Suluan nodded secretly. As a blood-clothed assassin, she also sensed the danger. She was sure that there were at least several Spirit Astral Realm masters watching them!
Feng Shamo continued, "Humph, Leng Shiqi is indeed very cunning. He probably already predicted this situation, so he returned to the imperial capital alone."
Suluan still couldn't condense her voice into a line. She secretly made two gestures, meaning what should they do now?
"Don't worry, their target is Leng Shiqi, not us. As long as Leng Shiqi doesn't show up, they won't act rashly. We can just go to the teleportation formation."
Two people were standing in a tall building in the center of Hongzhou City. At this moment, a Gang Spirit Realm expert bowed and said, "Lords, Liu Xingzhi's two slaves have just entered the city. Should we …"
Since they could be called Lords by Gang Spirit Realm experts, their cultivation could be imagined. They must be in the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Men!
In order to kill Leng Shiqi, Li Juecheng had sent two Oneness of Heaven Realm and several Gang Spirit Realm experts. This force was comparable to the top force of a first-class force!
It could be seen that Li Juecheng really hated Leng Shiqi to the core and wanted to get rid of him.
The elegant man with the flute said, "Liu Xingzhi didn't show up?"
"In response to Lord Li's question, no."
"Hmph, that brat is quite smart. Perhaps he has already sensed something. Pass down the order to expand the search area. We must find Liu Xingzhi."
"Understood, but what about his two servants?"
"Those two people might be the bait Liu Xingzhi released. We can't touch them, or we'll be alerting the enemy."
"Got it."
After that person left, another older man said, "Li Jue Ning, if we really kill Liu Xingzhi, then the Li family will completely fall out with Eunuch Gao."
Leng Shiqi was the leader of the Elite Association, and he was also Eunuch Gao's personal disciple. Eunuch Gao valued him greatly, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Eunuch Gao intended to nurture Leng Shiqi as his successor.
If they really assassinated Leng Shiqi this time, it was conceivable that Eunuch Gao would be furious, and the Li Family would also have to bear Eunuch Gao's anger.
Li Juening snorted, "Fourth Uncle, if we fall out with Eunuch Gao, so be it. That damn eunuch should have thought of this step when he was preparing to take away Ningyang County.
Besides, do you think we're afraid of him? "
"Alas."
Fourth Uncle sighed slightly, "After all, Eunuch Gao is His Majesty's man. As long as His Majesty is still alive, Eunuch Gao will be his biggest backer. It won't do us any good to fight him to the death.
Do you think His Majesty will allow the Li Family to hold two positions of the four directors? "
Li Juening sneered, "Fourth Uncle, you worry too much. To be honest, how many years can His Majesty live?
I've inquired that His Majesty is still working day and night, and his health is getting worse and worse. Even if he has the most precious medicine in the world, he can only force himself to hang on.
If nothing goes wrong, the Thunderstorm Dynasty will be ruled by someone else in one or two years at most, so we don't have to be too afraid of that old eunuch.
Killing Liu Xingzhi this time is a warning to him. His Majesty is very clear that the Dark Thunder Guard can't be in chaos at such a critical moment.
What's more, we just killed an Inner Supervisor at the early stage of Gang Spirit Realm. His Majesty won't offend us just because of an insignificant Inner Supervisor. "
Fourth Uncle opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. He could only think to himself, "What His Majesty doesn't want to see is the Li Family dominating the Dark Thunder Guard. His Majesty will definitely use this as an excuse to weaken the power of the Li Family.
Alas, our Li Family has been in the limelight for too long, so these juniors are too arrogant. "
At this time, Feng Shabo and Suluan finally stepped into the inter-domain transmission formation and directly teleported to the imperial capital. They had just arrived at the Xingzhi Pavilion in the headquarters of the Dark Thunder Guard when someone handed the news to Li Juecheng.
Seeing this news, Li Juecheng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "If I see news of Liu Xingzhi's return, I'll kill him!"
At this time, Eunuch Gao was still in the imperial palace. Recently, Lei Chengjun was planning something, so Eunuch Gao was always by his side, so he didn't know that Li Juecheng was preparing to assassinate Leng Shiqi.
It wasn't until he learned that Feng Shabo and Suluan came back, but Leng Shiqi didn't, that he knew something was wrong!
He hurriedly sent a large number of masters to the vicinity of Hongzhou City, hoping to receive Leng Shiqi. However, to his disappointment, there was no trace of Leng Shiqi at all!
He originally thought that he was a step too late, but he found that Li Juecheng also didn't find Leng Shiqi?
Eunuch Gao smiled inwardly. He knew that Leng Shiqi must have guessed all of this, and now he was hiding somewhere, returning to the imperial capital in another way.
Thus, Eunuch Gao was relieved, but this matter couldn't be let go so easily!
Time passed day by day, and after more than ten days, Li Juecheng became more and more irritable!
After more than ten days, he still couldn't find Leng Shiqi. This made him very angry!
"Sir." At this time, someone ran in with a hesitant expression.
Li Juecheng was already in a bad mood, so he directly shouted, "If you have something to say, say it!"
"That, that Liu Xingzhi, he's already returned."
"Bang!"
As soon as that person finished speaking, Li Juecheng fiercely waved his hand, and a terrifying force smashed that person into a pile of minced meat!
