Leng Shiqi did not expect Li Juecheng's trump card to be so strong. In fact, Hua Liuyue's sneak attack almost killed Li Juecheng at the beginning.
With Nine Leave here, as long as Li Juecheng was not abnormally strong, Leng Shiqi only needed to be a bystander.
But the result was still a little beyond his expectations. Although he had killed Li Juecheng, it was very troublesome to deal with the scene.
If he left it alone, with the Dark Thunder Guards' ability, they would definitely find out a lot of information, which might lead to him being exposed.
Moreover, when he killed Li Juening, he also used the Buddha's Palm. Li Juige and Li Family's Fourth Uncle were not dead yet.
If they came to the scene, they would be able to tell at a glance that it was done by the same person!
A thought flashed through Leng Shiqi's mind. Next, he half-knelt and pressed his hands against the ground. His mind had already become one with the ground and he instantly connected with the mysterious power of the earth.
He closed his eyes and with a thought, the nearby ground slowly returned to normal!
About a quarter of an hour later, the dazzling huge palm shadow no longer existed. However, it had not completely returned to its original state. The ground could be considered flat now, but it was completely bare. There was not the slightest bit of grass or trees.
Leng Shiqi's face was even paler, as if he was terminally ill. The ground under him was covered in sweat, but he looked very excited.
Not only did he have a preliminary grasp of the power of the earth, but he also erased the most important traces of the battle. What made him even happier was that he found Li Juecheng's mustard bracelet underground!
He was afraid that there was a restriction inside, so he did not open it directly. Instead, he threw it into the System Space.
Leng Shiqi stood up and found that Hua Liuyue and Nine Leave were staring at him with a strange gaze.
However, the two of them did not ask much. At this time, Nine Leave's expression suddenly changed. She said anxiously, "Someone is approaching."
Their assassination of Li Juecheng was very noisy. Fortunately, this place was remote and there were not many people nearby.
Hua Liuyue said bluntly, "It's done. I will return to the Blood Garment Pavilion first."
After that, he turned into a phantom and left.
"Let's go. By the way, why does this Hua Liuyue look familiar to me?" Nine Leave asked curiously.
Leng Shiqi secretly smiled. Nine Leave and Hua Liuyue were colleagues. They had worked together for a period of time, but Nine Leave did not notice anything special about Hua Liuyue. It was clear that Hua Liuyue's concealment methods were indeed amazing.
In fact, after Hua Liuyue saw Nine Leave, he was also surprised for a while because he did not realize that Nine Leave was actually a transformed Great Demon!
Leng Shiqi told the two of them that the other party was a helper he had invited, and they didn't pursue the matter.
Then, in order to make it easier for him to go back without being noticed, Nine Leave's soul entered the Leng Shiqi's Galaxy Space as usual, while his physical body was placed in the System Space.
Leng Shiqi immediately activated Fate and teleported back to Xingzhi Pavilion's secret cultivation room.
As soon as he returned, he prepared to meditate to recover his strength. However, Nine Leave could not help but ask curiously, "Leng Shiqi, what have you been through these days?
Why did your strength increase so quickly!
Just now, when you killed that mysterious shadow, even I had to retreat. How many secrets do you have that I don't know? "
Leng Shiqi certainly could not answer this question truthfully. However, just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Nine Leave, "Alright, you don't have to explain. Anyway, there is no truth in your words."
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi was relieved because he really did not have a good reason or excuse. At the same time, he said a little resentfully, "Thank you for your understanding, Senior Nine Leave."
"Since you are so capable that you can even kill Li Juecheng, then the position of the Four Great Managers is probably not far from yours." Nine Leave's voice was a little teasing.
And this sentence happened to speak to Leng Shiqi's heart. The reason why he went through so much trouble to kill Li Juecheng, other than for revenge, was also for the position of the Four Great Managers!
If he had to wait for one of the Four Great Managers to abdicate or die in an accident before he had a chance, how long would he have to wait?
Even the oldest Manager Hai was said to have just started to deteriorate. As long as he controlled himself and did not take action, it would not be a problem for him to live for another 20 or 30 years.
It had only been a few years since Leng Shiqi left Blood Mist Island. He did not have the patience to wait for another 20 or 30 years!
Previously, he had strived hard to obtain the position of Deputy Manager in order to have the qualifications to compete for the position of Four Great Managers!
Only the 36 Deputy Managers had this qualification. The others could not even think about it.
And among these 36 people, a portion of the competitors could be eliminated first.
Now that Li Juecheng was dead, the Li Family still had Li Jue Ge and Li Family's Fourth Uncle, two Oneness of Heaven realm experts. There were also several Deputy Managers under them. It seemed that their power was still quite strong.
However, without the deterrence of the position of Four Great Managers, how many people would be willing to continue to be loyal to the Li Family?
Moreover, one should not forget that the Li Family had offended many people. Now that Li Juecheng was dead, the first to make trouble would probably be Eunuch Gao. As for the others, most of them would hit them when they were down.
In particular, the Great Commander, Heavenly Venerable Black Flame, had long disliked the Li Family. As long as he acquiesced, the Li Family would not survive for long.
At that time, everyone in the Li Family would naturally lose the qualifications to compete for the position of Four Great Managers. In total, Leng Shiqi's competitors were only about 20 people.
Of course, none of those 20 people were simple people!
They had been Deputy Managers for many years. Whether it was strength, experience, ability, influence, or all kinds of connections, they were all very strong. It was impossible for Leng Shiqi to compete with them directly. It could be said that he was beaten in all aspects.
Leng Shiqi intended to find another way. The only thing he lacked was an opportunity.
Now that Li Juecheng was dead, the opportunity had come!
His eyes moved, and he said to Nine Leave, "Senior, if I become one of the Four Great Managers of the Dark Thunder Guards, I don't dare to say anything else, but I can definitely help you recover your cultivation in the shortest time possible!"
"Oh, you're already painting a big picture for me?" Nine Leave said.
Leng Shiqi knew that Nine Leave would not agree to help him if he did not take out some practical benefits. He directly took out a mustard seed bag and said, "Senior, these are the treasures I obtained in Void Scar Sky two days ago. I'll give them all to you as a token of my sincerity."
Nine Leave's spiritual power swept across the mustard seed bag, and he immediately laughed. "You're really rich now. Don't worry, as long as the resources are in place, just call me when it's time to help."
Immediately, Leng Shiqi felt relieved. With Nine Leave around, it could be considered a form of protection for him.
Then he began to meditate and recuperate. When dawn broke the next day, he could hear the noise outside even from the secret room.
He Feichen anxiously shouted outside, "Master, something big has happened. Manager Li is dead!"
