Leng Shiqi was not the only one who came here. Before him, there were already three groups of people here.
Leng Shiqi looked over. One side was led by the Fourth Prince, Lei Haoran, and had a total of more than twenty people.
The other side was led by the Ninth Prince, Lei Haoqing, and there were only a dozen people behind him.
As for the third side, rather than calling it a group of people, it was better to call it a group of people. There were Spirit Cultivators from all sides in this group.
The Discipline Division, the Dark Thunder Guards, the military, the marquis, and individual Spirit Cultivator Sects were all present. They had the largest number of people, about forty of them.
However, these people did not gather together. Instead, they were scattered in twos and threes.
Among this group of people, Leng Shiqi only recognized two or three people, and one of them was Delta Aurigae!
Delta Aurigae was dressed in a red dress and stood proudly, like an incomparably gorgeous blood-colored rose with sharp thorns.
From time to time, some gazes would fall on her, especially the white-faced scholar standing beside her, who was saying something with a face full of eagerness.
Other than Delta Aurigae, there were also two Spirit Cultivators dressed in the Dark Thunder Guards' uniform. Leng Shiqi could only say that he had some impression of them. He had seen them a few times, but he could not remember their names. He could only vaguely remember that they seemed to be Manager Hai's subordinates.
However, the two of them recognized Leng Shiqi. The older middle-aged man shouted, "Lord Liu, I am the Eunuch Li Gang. This is Gong Liang Hui. Greetings, Lord."
Leng Shiqi had already become the Deputy Director. Although Eunuch Gao did not announce this matter in public, the appointment of the Deputy Director of the Dark Thunder Guards headquarters could not be hidden. Basically, all the Dark Thunder Guards already knew about it.
Not to mention whether or not others were dissatisfied or had some criticism in their hearts, in front of outsiders, they still had to give face.
Leng Shiqi walked towards Li Gang and Gong Liang Hui. Most of the others also looked at Leng Shiqi.
Not many of them knew the Leng Shiqi, but Li Gang and Gong Lianghui were both supervisors. The only person who could be addressed as' Lord 'by the supervisors was the Deputy Chief.
Everyone felt it a little incredible that this unknown guy in the middle stage of Gang Spirit Realm should be one of the 36 deputy directors of the Dark Thunder Guard.
In other people's impression, not to mention the Deputy Supervisor, even most of the Inner Supervisor's cultivation base was at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm!
Only those with great potential and background could become the Inner Supervisor in Gang Spirit Realm.
But they had never heard of a deputy director in Gang Spirit Realm!
The Fourth Prince, Lei Haoran, turned and asked, "Who is this Liu Xingzhi?"
The man in a long gown behind him replied, "Your Highness, this man is Manager Gao's disciple. He has great potential and strength. A year ago, he was the one who attacked the Thunder Destruction Alliance and the Sky Crane Gang in Shantai County.
Some time ago, he also escorted the envoys of the Starfall Dynasty and the six countries of the Western Region to the imperial capital. During the period, there were no accidents and accidents, so he won the trust of Manager Gao.
I just got the news that he has been promoted to the Deputy Chief. But he only has the title of Deputy Chief, and has no relative rights. Presumably, Manager Gao doesn't want him to be too conspicuous. "
Lei Haoran's eyes showed that he was thinking. He sneered softly and said, "So it was him. He helped Lei Haoge, that good-for-nothing, so that he could make a name for himself in Shantai County.
Speaking of which, Lei Haoge was self-aware and didn't come to father's birthday banquet this time. Otherwise, with his little power, he would have been eliminated long ago!
But since Liu Xingzhi can be the Deputy Chief, it means that he has some real skills. We can try to win him over. If he doesn't know how to appreciate our kindness, humph. "
Before Lei Haoge was driven out of the imperial capital, the two of them were not on good terms. Later on, Lei Haoge hid in Shantai County and had a hard time, which made Lei Haoran very happy.
But Leng Shiqi's trip to Shantai County had made Lei Haoge's reputation soar. He had also made a good show in front of Lei Chengjun, and his power grew stronger and stronger.
Therefore, Lei Haoran and Leng Shiqi were not happy with each other.
As for Lei Haoqing, he would never have thought that the assassin who tried to assassinate him would walk past him right in front of his eyes.
When Leng Shiqi passed by Delta Aurigae, he glanced at the pale-faced scholar and quietly transmitted his voice to Delta Aurigae, "Pursuer?"
"Yes."
Delta Aurigae's proud voice also transmitted its voice, "He is the disciple of the Discipline Commission's Grand Commander, Yun Xingsheng. He is already half a step into the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Man. His future is limitless."
"There's nothing good about a pretty boy."
"But he's still better than some people with special hobbies."
Leng Shiqi, "......"
Fine, he couldn't explain what happened between him and Hua Liuyue.
He walked over to Li Gang and Gong Lianghui. The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while. Leng Shiqi then asked, "You two, do you know what is in the sky?
The two princes are not looking for the Heavenly Thunderfire Pearl but are staying here. Could it be that the Heavenly Thunderfire Pearl is here? "
Li Gang said flatteringly, "Lord Liu, you may not know, but the Castle in the Clouds here is the ruins of the Cloudhouse Demon Palace, one of the Six Demonic Realms from a thousand years ago.
When the Thunderfire Dynasty was first established, the Cloudhouse Demon Palace did not know what was good for them and stood against the dynasty. In the end, it was destroyed.
The ruins of the Cloudhouse Demon Palace were placed in Void Scar Sky for future generations to slowly explore.
Now, no one knows where the Heavenly Thunderfire Pearl is. The Cloudhouse Demon Palace could be said to be one of the most precious places in Void Scar Sky. The Heavenly Thunderfire Pearl might be placed here.
Unfortunately, the Cloudhouse Demon Palace is not a place that anyone can easily enter. Lord Liu, you can see that the black fog around the castle is irregular. Only when the black fog is at its weakest can you force your way in.
Of course, if you have the key, you can enter at any time. "
"Key?" Leng Shiqi asked in confusion.
"That's right. Although it's called a key, it's actually the token of a high-grade disciple of the Cloudhouse Demon Palace. More accurately, it's a key as long as it's made of the same material.
After all, the Cloudhouse Demon Palace has been destroyed for more than a thousand years. Those tokens have long been lost. Some of them have been taken away and refined into other things.
I heard that the Thirteenth Prince obtained a key not long ago. "
Leng Shiqi nodded. No wonder Lei Haoran and Lei Haoqing were here. It was possible that the Heavenly Thunderfire Pearl was in the Cloudhouse Demon Palace.
However, the latter half of Li Gang's words reminded him of something. Not long after he arrived in the Imperial Capital, he had participated in an auction held by the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion.
It was at that auction that he obtained the wondrous Fish and Water Pleasure Technique and met his Senior Sister Suluan.
He remembered that the last item of that auction was a sixth-level spiritual weapon, the Life-Reaping Demon Spear!
At that time, everyone was puzzled as to why the Thirteenth Prince, Lei Haoyun, would spend so many spiritual stones to buy a sixth-level spiritual weapon. It turned out that the Life-Reaping Demon Spear was the key to entering the Cloudhouse Demon Palace!
It seemed that Lei Haoyun had been prepared since then.
As the saying goes, people can't be nagged.
At this moment, Lei Haoyun walked over with more than twenty Gang Spirit Realm experts. "Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother, what a coincidence."
