At this moment, Leng Shiqi was sitting in the main hall of Xingzhi Pavilion. His face was filled with exhaustion, but there was a cold smile on his face.
Beside him, Feng Sha Mo, Suluan, Elder Huang, He Fei Chen, and the other inspectors were all present. Others might not know that Leng Shiqi had been assassinated, but they knew.
So for the past half a month, they had been very worried.
Although Leng Shiqi hadn't been promoted for long, he was able to distribute his power and resources to his subordinates. This treatment wasn't just good.
Especially those who were originally part of the 29 Guards. Ever since they followed Leng Shiqi, not only were they able to hold their heads high, they were also able to receive endless resources.
So of course they didn't want to lose this boss.
Leng Shiqi finished listening to He Fei Chen's report. In the past half a month, Eunuch Gao and Li Jue Cheng had been fighting openly and covertly. One wanted to kill him, the other wanted to save him. They had already clashed several times in the dark.
But after fighting for so long, they couldn't even find Leng Shiqi's shadow. They also didn't expect Leng Shiqi to silently return to the capital!
He Fei Chen's head was full of doubts. He asked, "Sir, how did you come back during this time?
We mobilized all the information we could, but we still couldn't find you.
And that Li Jue Cheng, he definitely has his own methods of gathering information. This is the same as two senior managers going all out to find you, but they still couldn't find you!
Sir, could it be that you flew back? "
Leng Shiqi laughed inwardly. He Fei Chen really did say it. He really did fly back.
Ning Yang County was tens of thousands of li away from the capital. He had used the "Fate" skill to teleport two thousand li away. During the skill's cooldown, he had the Gu King transform into wings and fly ten thousand zhang in the air!
With his incomparably deep spiritual energy, he could fly for several days without stopping. When his spiritual energy ran out, he would hide and recover. So his feet didn't touch the ground at all. It would be strange if others could find him.
Leng Shiqi was about to speak to He Fei Chen, but suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall!
Everyone was startled, but they immediately lowered their heads respectfully. Because the person who came was Eunuch Gao!
Eunuch Gao had also received news that Leng Shiqi had returned. He immediately rushed over as fast as he could. He looked at Leng Shiqi with a complicated expression. He waved his hand, and the others consciously bowed and left.
"Disciple greets master."
Leng Shiqi also bowed, but Eunuch Gao still didn't say anything. His eyes stared straight at Leng Shiqi, and finally landed on the blood-stained demonic blade on Leng Shiqi's back.
There didn't seem to be anything strange with him. with him didn't seem to be in any way.
"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, Eunuch Gao threw his head back and laughed loudly!
His laughter was filled with delight. This was the first time Leng Shiqi had seen Eunuch Gao laugh so heartily. Eunuch Gao laughed for a few breaths before he stopped.
He patted Leng Shiqi's shoulder and praised, "Good, good, good!
You did very well!
Not only did you help me take back Dark Thunder Manor in Ningyang County, but you also killed Li Zhangtao. You even avoided Li Jue Cheng's assassination and successfully returned. I really didn't misjudge you!
I can imagine Li Jue Cheng's expression when he knows you're back. Hehe, I haven't been so happy in a long time. "
Leng Shiqi said modestly, "This is what disciple should do. Master, please take a seat."
Eunuch Gao sat in the main seat in the hall. He said with a smile, "Xingzhi, I won't be long-winded. Just tell me what reward you want."
"Oh." Leng Shiqi was slightly surprised. Eunuch Gao even said this. It seemed he was really happy.
He thought for a moment, then said, "I'll leave it to master."
"You're still so cautious."
Eunuch Gao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, you don't lack resources. I'll give you 100,000 merit points. You can get whatever resources you need."
Eunuch Gao gave him 100,000 merit points. This was a huge amount that an ordinary War Thunder Guard might not be able to save up in their lifetime. Leng Shiqi couldn't help but be moved.
"Also, do you remember that you all have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Tomb after the Elite Meeting?"
Eunuch Gao continued, "The Heavenly Tomb can't be opened at will. Every time it opens, a part of the spiritual power will leak out. This kind of spiritual power must be sealed for many years to replenish.
Therefore, generally speaking, the Heavenly Tomb will only open once every three years. According to this time, you will only be able to enter after a year. I can let the five of you enter the Heavenly Tomb in advance.
And I can let you stay in there for one more day! "
Leng Shiqi also specially went to the Heavenly Tomb to learn about it. Since the establishment of the Thunderfire Dynasty, it was the place where the Sky Origin Realm experts died. Now, there were probably hundreds of Sky Origin Realm experts who died in there!
It was filled with the insights and understanding of the Spirit Cultivation Dao of those experts. Even if he could comprehend a little bit, it would be enough to benefit him for a lifetime!
Unfortunately, since they came to the Imperial Capital, the matter of entering the Heavenly Tomb seemed to have disappeared. Now that they could enter in advance and have one more day, even if Leng Shiqi had a strong will, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "In addition to the 100,000 merit points and entering the Heavenly Tomb in advance, I also promised you that as long as you take back the Dark Thunder Manor in Ningyang County, I will give you the position of Deputy General Manager.
I have already left the position of Deputy General Manager in charge of Ningyang County for you. However, your strength and merits are not enough for you to be the Deputy General Manager. Otherwise, you will be ostracized by the other three General Managers. "
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi agreed. After all, the Deputy General Manager was an existence second only to the four General Managers. Normally, the position was held by a great expert in the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm.
However, in the Dark Thunder Guard headquarters, there were many Unity of Heaven and Man Realm experts, but there were only 36 Deputy General Managers!
This meant that if one wanted to be the Deputy General Manager, not only did they need strength, but they also needed qualifications, merits, and connections!
Leng Shiqi's current connections were sufficient. With Eunuch Gao as his backer, Eunuch Gao had already vacated the position of Deputy General Manager for him. The path had already been paved. Unfortunately, his strength and contributions were far from enough.
Seeing Leng Shiqi's normal expression, Eunuch Gao was even more satisfied. He said, "In terms of strength, you can only rely on yourself. Entering the Heavenly Tomb is an excellent opportunity. You have to grasp it well.
In addition, I will also arrange some missions for you to increase your reputation and merits so that you can sit in the Deputy General Manager's position as soon as possible. "
As long as Leng Shiqi became the Deputy General Manager, Eunuch Gao's authority in the Dark Thunder Guard would be increased. After Lei Chengjun passed away, the possibility of him keeping his current position would be higher!
"I see that you are very tired. Rest well for a few days. When you come out of the Heavenly Tomb, we will settle the score with Li Juecheng!" Eunuch Gao's eyes were full of bone-chilling coldness when he said this.
