When Leng Shiqi returned to Xingzhi Pavilion, a man had been waiting for him for a long time. This man was Eunuch Gao!
Knowing that Eunuch Gao was here, Leng Shiqi knew that what should come would come sooner or later.
Gao Yi died in Dark Thunder Mansion in Western Wilderness City. Eunuch Gao did not blame Yu Ruifeng, which meant that he began to suspect Leng Shiqi!
However, since Leng Shiqi had done it, he was prepared. He walked into the hall calmly and saw Eunuch Gao.
At this moment, Eunuch Gao's eyes were closed, and there was no expression on his face. Even his aura was faintly discernible. If it weren't for the fact that he was sitting right in front of Leng Shiqi, Leng Shiqi wouldn't even know that Eunuch Gao was here.
He could not help thinking, "Eunuch Gao's cultivation seems to have improved again!"
"Master, I pay my respects to you." Leng Shiqi still saluted respectfully on the surface.
Eunuch Gao still had his eyes closed. After a short while, he said, "You killed Gao Yi, right?"
Leng Shiqi immediately showed a look of surprise and said, "Master, I am also very sad that Eunuch Gao Yi died an unnatural death. But his death has nothing to do with me. Why do you say that?"
At this time, Eunuch Gao narrowed his eyes and looked at Leng Shiqi with two turbid eyes.
There was no emotion in his eyes, but Leng Shiqi felt a sense of fear.
However, Leng Shiqi still looked straight at Eunuch Gao without any fear.
"I want an explanation." Eunuch Gao said in a hoarse voice.
Leng Shiqi thought quickly and raised his head, "First of all, when Eunuch Gao Yi died, I was not in Western Wilderness Prefecture, but in the six countries of the Western Region. In terms of time, it is impossible to kill Gao Yi.
Besides, Eunuch Gao Yi was a master at the late stage of Gang Spirit Realm. Although I think my strength is good and I may have a chance to fight him head-on, it is absolutely impossible for me to kill Gao Yi in an instant. "
He stopped here. He did not say too much or too little. He thought that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. That was enough for him.
Eunuch Gao closed his eyes again. Leng Shiqi could not see any of his emotions, nor could he figure out what he was thinking.
However, Leng Shiqi wasn't too worried because what he said just now was the truth.
Judging from the time, he was not in Western Desolated City at that time. Of course, it could also be said that he had deliberately hidden himself, but no one had any evidence to prove this point.
Moreover, the spiritual technique he used to kill Gao Yi was the Vajra Finger. This was something that Leng Shiqi had never used in front of outsiders. It could be said that no one in this world other than Tu Deng would recognize it.
The result now was that there was no proof!
No matter how suspicious Eunuch Gao was, it was only a suspicion!
Leng Shiqi was confident that Eunuch Gao would not make things difficult for him based on this suspicion alone. After Gao Yi died, Leng Shiqi was the most outstanding of the young disciples under Eunuch Gao.
If Eunuch Gao made things difficult for Leng Shiqi, it would be the same as cutting off one of his arms. Leng Shiqi believed that Eunuch Gao would make the wisest choice.
Sure enough, not long after, Eunuch Gao said, "I don't want to look into this matter. Since Gao Yi is dead, then let him be. I will leave the missing power in my hands to you."
His intention was none other than to make Leng Shiqi work even harder. Leng Shiqi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This hurdle could be considered to have passed for now. He said, "Sharing Master's burdens is a disciple's responsibility."
"In that case, there is still a task for me tomorrow." Eunuch Gao took the opportunity to say.
Leng Shiqi thought that this task came too quickly. "Master, please instruct me."
"Do you know how many top sects there are in the Thunderfire Dynasty?" Eunuch Gao suddenly asked a strange question.
Leng Shiqi gave it some thought. More than half of the 36 provinces of the Thunderflame Dynasty had top sects, and as far as he knew, there were as many as 19 of them.
Eunuch Gao nodded. "That's right. Do you know which ones are the strongest?"
Of course, there were differences in strength between the top sects. For example, the Blood Cloak Pavilion was stronger than the Mountain Sea Sect. Both of them were stronger than the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect.
However, it was hard to say which ones were the strongest!
If one looked at the ranking of sects, the strongest was undoubtedly the Six Directions Spiritual Region of the Four Saint Spiritual Regions. However, the Six Directions Spiritual Region was in a semi-secluded state and rarely had disciples appear.
Next would be the Five Extreme Sects and the Six Daos Devil Realms. Of the Five Extreme Sects, the Ten Thousand Laws Mysterious Sect and the Liuhuo Palace were both in the Thunderflame Dynasty. The Six Daos Devil Realms only had the Inferno Devil Sect.
However, why did Eunuch Gao ask this?
Just as Leng Shiqi spoke his thoughts, Eunuch Gao asked again, "Then which of these top sects do you think poses the greatest threat to the Thunderfire Dynasty?"
Eunuch Gao's continuous questions made Leng Shiqi even more confused. However, he knew that Eunuch Gao wouldn't ask questions for no reason. It must have something to do with the next task.
"From the surface, the Ten Thousand Laws Sect and the Liuhuo Palace pose the greatest threat!" Leng Shiqi answered.
"You're only half right. Actually, the Thunderfire Dynasty's greatest threat is the Ten Thousand Laws Sect!
The Ten Thousand Laws Sect's people will enter the Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, you'll welcome them on behalf of me. "Eunuch Gao finally said.
"Ten Thousand Laws Sect." Leng Shiqi thought about this name and quickly found information about it in his mind.
The Ten Thousand Laws Sect was one of the Five Extreme Sects in the World Sect Ranking. This sect was very extreme. All the disciples inside were spirit casters!
In other words, only spirit casters had the qualifications to join the Ten Thousand Laws Sect!
The Ten Thousand Laws Sect had a long history and had a foundation of at least ten thousand years. However, the number of disciples in the sect wasn't many. Every generation would maintain around five to six hundred. After all, spirit casters were very rare.
Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Laws Sect didn't accept all spirit casters. They still had to go through layers of screening. It was better to have nothing than to have something substandard.
Although the Ten Thousand Laws Sect didn't have many disciples, every disciple that left the mountain was an existence that could hold their own!
If it was a top sect, this wasn't what the Thunderfire Dynasty was most afraid of. In any case, the Thunderfire Dynasty had more than ten top sects in their territory and they weren't afraid of anyone.
The only thing that the Thunderfire Dynasty was very afraid of was the Ten Thousand Laws Sect. This was because the deterrence of spirit casters in war was simply too strong!
If the Ten Thousand Laws Sect participated in a certain chaos, those few hundred spirit casters would be enough to destroy an entire army!
It was rumored that the inheritors of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect had a large number of terrifying spirit skill, especially some combined formations that had the power to destroy heaven and earth!
Therefore, the Thunderfire Dynasty had always kept a close eye on the Ten Thousand Laws Sect. This time, the Ten Thousand Laws Sect had also sent people to participate in Lei Chengjun's birthday banquet. However, for some reason, they were the last to arrive, even later than the other diplomatic groups.
However, the Ten Thousand Laws Sect's weight was stronger than the six kingdoms of the Western Region. Eunuch Gao and several other important figures had to go together to welcome them.
This wasn't a difficult matter. Leng Shiqi cupped his hands and said, "This disciple understands."
