Looking at the masters kneeling in front of him, it was impossible for Leng Shiqi to be calm. But he didn't become arrogant and tried to control his emotions.
"Please get up. We are all on the same side. You don't have to be so polite in the future."
An old man standing at the front cupped his hands and said, "This humble one is Ren Ye. We congratulate Chief Steward Liu on his appointment. We finally have a pillar of support."
Two days ago, the headquarters of Dark Thunder Guards purged the forces of the Li family. Including Li Juige and the fourth uncle of the Li family, a total of six deputy directors and more than 20 eunuchs were killed!
The people who could still stand here were somewhat special. They were either people who had been hidden away by Li Jue Cheng, or some old guys who didn't have many days left, or people who had just entered the headquarters of the Dark Thunder Guards and hadn't completely submitted to Li Jue Cheng.
For example, the three deputy directors in front of Leng Shiqi were all grey-haired old men. Their Qi and blood began to decline, and their combat effectiveness was getting worse and worse.
There were also several old men among the 14 eunuchs. Basically, these people could only deal with things.
Leng Shiqi couldn't help but feel a little headache. It seemed that he didn't have many real top fighting forces in his hands!
In addition to these old men, there were only eight masters in the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Men. Because two of the eunuchs were in the realm of Gang Spirit, who had just entered the headquarters of Dark Thunder Guards and had good potential.
Most of the eight masters in the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Men were in the early stage of Oneness of Heaven and Men, and only two of them were in the middle stage.
In fact, this kind of strength was very strong in any place in the world. But compared with the other three directors, it was too weak.
The strength in one's hands determined the right to speak in Dark Thunder Guards. At present, Leng Shiqi was only a little stronger than the deputy directors, but he was still too weak in front of Eunuch Gao and others.
Therefore, Leng Shiqi had two priorities. One was to accumulate great merits and cultivate a team as soon as possible, and completely gain a foothold in Dark Thunder Guards.
The other was to improve his cultivation and strength!
Only when he became stronger could he be truly powerful!
Leng Shiqi said to Ren Ye and the others, "I will be setting off for Ping Hui County tomorrow. I will need two Oneness of Heaven realm experts to accompany me. I wonder who is willing to go."
At that moment, other than the few old men who had lost their vigor, the other eight Unity of Heaven Realm cultivators all stood out. "Your humble servant is willing to go!"
They all knew that the Eastern Suppression Thunderflame Army and the Imperial Family's Hall of Worship were the main forces in the destruction of the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect. The Dark Lightning Guards were, at most, responsible for providing intelligence and sealing off information.
It could be said that they were there to gain merits and experience. Of course, anyone would want to go there.
Leng Shiqi had expected this. He said, "I don't know much about you, but time is tight. How about this, the two with the highest cultivation will follow me."
"Subordinate Yan Ming, accept the order."
"Subordinate Deng Xinlei accepts the order."
The two of them were overjoyed and immediately bowed to receive their orders. As for the others, they couldn't say anything. Cultivation was their biggest advantage, and they couldn't blame others for their cultivation being inferior to theirs.
On the surface, Yan Ming didn't look old and was quite handsome. However, he had a full beard, which made him look somewhat melancholic.
As for Deng Xinlei, he looked like a carefree person.
Leng Shiqi turned his head and ordered, "During this period of time when I'm not at the headquarters, Deputy Chief Ren Ye will be in charge of managing everything in the Xingzhi Pavilion."
"Rest assured, my lord. Your humble servant will definitely manage the Xingzhi Pavilion well." Ren Ye knew that his strength was deteriorating, but he was still very confident in managing things.
Leng Shiqi nodded and dismissed everyone, telling them to do what they needed to do.
In fact, it was extremely disadvantageous for him to be away from the Imperial Capital right after he was promoted to Chief Ren. This was equivalent to losing the best opportunity to cultivate his trusted subordinates.
However, he had already accepted the mission to destroy the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect. Moreover, he really did want to make a trip to the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect and take back the authority to supervise Ping Hui County. Thus, this trip was unavoidable.
Fortunately, even if he left, the Xingzhi Pavilion still had a group of people he brought over. Above him, there was also Eunuch Gao at the headquarters to help him take care of things, so there shouldn't be any problems.
After dealing with all this, Leng Shiqi locked himself in the secret chamber. After becoming one of the Four Great Chiefs, he realized that his cultivation was far from matching his current status. It was imperative that he improve his strength.
Then, with a thought, he was teleported into the Underworld and took out a mustard seed bracelet. This was Li Juecheng's mustard seed bracelet!
Previously, he was afraid that there was a restriction in this mustard seed bracelet, so he didn't dare to open it. Now that he was in the Underworld, he wasn't afraid even if there was a restriction.
Leng Shiqi's mental power probed inside. As expected, it was blocked by a layer of power. He snorted coldly, and the Sword of Primordial Spirit appeared and directly broke the restriction.
However, the contents of the mustard seed bracelet immediately made Leng Shiqi lose his mind!
It wasn't that he had never seen a huge amount of resources. When he found the Star Clan's secret treasure in Ningyang County, he also saw resources that were enough to shock the world.
However, the resources in Li Juecheng's mustard seed bracelet could no longer be described as huge. It could be described as a moving treasure trove!
The Star Clan's secret treasure trove only contained ores and materials. However, this mustard seed bracelet contained all kinds of resources. As long as one could think of it, it had it all. They were even piled up into small mountains!
Spiritual Stones, Elixirs, Spiritual Weapons, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Formations, Mystical Items, and even Cultivation Methods and Spiritual Skills were all piled up in piles. Leng Shiqi was dazzled and overwhelmed.
These resources were enough to support a top Sect. It was obvious how much resources Li Juecheng had gathered over the years!
After a long while, Leng Shiqi came back to his senses. Now that these resources were all his, he could confidently say that he didn't have to worry about resources anymore!
Leng Shiqi collected his thoughts and first looked at the various Cultivation Methods and Spiritual Skills inside. Most of them were Level Five Cultivation Methods and above. There were even a few Level Seven Cultivation Methods. There was even a Level Eight Cultivation Method!
Leng Shiqi's face lit up with joy. He took it out and wrote the words "Sixteen Days Transformation Method" on it.
Seeing these words, Leng Shiqi's expression changed. He had heard of this Cultivation Method before.
This was the Cultivation Method that the Li Family's Patriarch had created back then!
The Li Family's Patriarch did not have a teacher. After joining the Dark Thunder Guards, he cultivated many Cultivation Methods. Later, he took a different path and created an extremely profound Cultivation Method, which was the "Sixteen Days Transformation Method".
The "Sixteen Days Transformation Method" was both a Cultivation Method and a Spiritual Skill. It was all-encompassing. The Li Family's Patriarch had combined all kinds of Spiritual Skills into one extremely powerful move. They were Fist, Palm, Finger, Leg, Saber, Sword, Staff, Spear, Halberd, Axe, Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Defense, and Demon.
Moreover, each of these Spiritual Skills was a Rank 7 Spiritual Skill!
Among them, Leng Shiqi had seen the "Mountain Suppression", "Blade Array", "Calling the Wind", "Turning the Cloud", and "Demon Transformation".
The Li Family's Patriarch's method was somewhat similar to Leng Shiqi's. However, Leng Shiqi relied on the system while the Li Family's Patriarch did not. From this, it could be seen that the Li Family's Patriarch was indeed an extremely talented person.
Unfortunately, the Li Family's descendants were not much. Even though there were a few experts, even Li Jue Cheng had only cultivated a few Spiritual Skills from the "Sixteen Days Transformation Method".
In Leng Shiqi's hands, this Cultivation Method was actually used to its fullest potential. He simply used his unlimited skill points to cultivate all sixteen Spiritual Skills to Great Perfection!
Mastering sixteen Rank 7 Spiritual Skills caused Leng Shiqi's strength to soar. It also increased his chances of participating in the destruction of the Thousand Illusion Sword Sect and seizing Ping Hui County!
