The next morning, a travel-worn disciple of the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect rushed to the mountain gate. Several disciples guarding the mountain immediately stopped him.
One of them asked, "Senior Brother Ji Guang, didn't you go to the capital? Why are you back?"
Ji Guang hugged the person's shoulder and said excitedly, "Good news, good news!
The Ninth Prince has obtained the position of Crown Prince and will soon ascend the throne. At that time, our Thousand Illusions Sword Sect will be conferred as the state religion! "
"What?
Is this true? "
A few of the disciples nearby also gathered around, and a burst of joy appeared on their faces.
The sect had long since submitted to the Ninth Prince, Lei Haoqing. This was something everyone knew, so the disciples all hoped that the sect would make the right bet.
This way, not only would the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect obtain a huge amount of resources, after becoming the state religion, they would be able to ignore the Dark Thunder Guards and the Discipline Commission and wantonly steal talented disciples.
Then, the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect's predicament of lacking manpower would naturally no longer exist!
Now that they heard Ji Guang's words, they were unable to contain their joy. Although they were still asking if it was true, they already believed it in their hearts.
"Of course it's true!" Ji Guang said firmly, "Quickly take me to see the sect master. I want to report this good news to him."
"Okay, but Senior Brother Ji Guang, as long as you enter the sect, you still have to be checked. Please forgive me."
"This is the sect's rule. Take it."
Ji Guang said as he handed over a white jade stone. This was the unique identity token of the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect disciples.
The disciple guarding the mountain took out a palm-sized disk and placed the jade stone inside. Immediately, Ji Guang's name appeared on the disk.
"Senior Brother Ji Guang, please take the token. We will go see the sect master now."
"Let's go, let's go."
The two immediately walked through the mountain gate and quickly walked towards the peak of the sect.
This' Ji Guang 'also secretly let out a sigh of relief. He was also secretly glad that he had met Ou Ziyu. Otherwise, no matter how exquisite his disguise was, he would have been discovered as a fake at the mountain gate!
That's right, in reality, this' Ji Guang 'was the Leng Shiqi after changing his appearance and cultivation!
At first, he thought of a way to get the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect to call back all their disciples, which was to pretend to be disciples of the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect and give them false information.
However, after communicating with Ou Ziyu, he found out that all the disciples of the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect had to be inspected before entering the mountain gate. Even the elders had to be inspected.
Leng Shiqi immediately contacted the headquarters of the Dark Thunder Guards and sent over the identity token of the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect's accompanying disciple, which led to this scene.
In order not to be discovered by the experts of the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect, he had specially learned the first few levels of the Thousand Illusions Sword Technique from Ou Ziyu. At this moment, he was circulating this technique in his body.
Unless it was someone very familiar with him, no one would be able to tell that he was not Ji Guang at all.
Soon, Leng Shiqi met the current sect leader of the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect, Wei Chiyan.
Wei Chiyan was a great master at the peak of the Oneness of Heaven and Man realm. It was said that he was only 60 or 70 years old this year, which was considered very young for someone in the Oneness of Heaven and Man realm.
However, when Leng Shiqi saw him, most of Wei Chiyan's hair had already turned white, and even his face had many wrinkles!
To be able to make a dignified Unity of Heaven cultivator like this, it could be seen that Wei Chiyan was really mentally and physically exhausted for the Thousand Illusions Sword Sect.
As soon as Leng Shiqi walked in, he happily recounted the matter. At first, Wei Chiyan was not as happy as the disciples guarding the mountain. Instead, he did not dare to believe it.
"Is what you said true?
What evidence do you have?
Why didn't Yan Mu send the message through the sound transmission formation, and instead let you come all the way here to report? "Wei Chiyan asked three important questions in a row.
Leng Shiqi was naturally prepared. He replied, "Sect Leader, Elder Yan displayed his might in Void Scar Sky and snatched the Heavenly Thunderfire Pearl that symbolizes the position of the crown prince. He seized the position of the Eastern Palace for the Ninth Prince!
However, because of this, he was seriously injured and is still unconscious. Everyone in the imperial capital knows about this. However, the Ninth Prince has not been officially conferred the position of Eastern Palace, so the news has not spread.
If Sect Leader does not believe me, you can ask around for news from the imperial capital. It is absolutely true. I believe this news will spread throughout the Thunderfire Dynasty in a few days. "
Speaking of this, Wei Chi Yan showed a bit of joy, and also a bit of relief.
"Good, you have all done well!"
Wei Chiyan praised, "I will immediately report this matter to the Grand Elder. You can go and rest first. You will definitely be rewarded."
Leng Shiqi's face lit up with joy, "Many thanks, Sect Leader. This disciple will take his leave first."
He walked out of the hall and thought to himself, "The first step has finally been successful."
Leng Shiqi was not worried that Wei Chiyan would not rush all the disciples back. It had to be known that the more powerful a sect was, the more they cared about their reputation.
The Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect had been weak for decades, and their days were getting worse and worse. The first-rate sects in Ping Hui Prefecture were no longer as respectful to them as before.
Therefore, the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect finally had a chance to turn things around. They would definitely not give up this opportunity to increase their reputation.
Leng Shiqi was sure that the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect would definitely rush all the disciples to celebrate. They would also tell all the sects in Ping Hui Prefecture about this matter and show off.
Right now, the most important thing for Leng Shiqi was another matter, and that was the Thousand Illusionary Nine Pavilions Sword Formation!
After leaving Wei Chiyan's hall, Leng Shiqi found Ji Guang's residence by beating around the bush. Then, he disguised himself and secretly snuck out.
Soon, he arrived at an inconspicuous hill in the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect. He looked at the bottomless pool in front of him and muttered, "Is this the place?"
Then, he opened his hand and a person suddenly appeared beside him. It was Ou Ziyu!
Ou Ziyu didn't come from anywhere else, nor did he hide. He came from Leng Shiqi's Underworld!
After Ou Ziyu agreed to join forces with Leng Shiqi, Leng Shiqi invited him to join the Underworld.
This Ou Ziyu was originally a one-in-a-million genius. Later on, he even obtained the inheritance of the Divine Dream Palace. In the future, he would definitely become an expert who could intimidate a region. He was definitely qualified to join the Underworld.
Moreover, Leng Shiqi had some friendship with him back then. Now that they were on the same side, Leng Shiqi decided to invite him to join the Underworld.
And the inheritance and title that Ou Ziyu obtained from the Underworld was the Ten Halls Yama Lun Huan Wang!
It was worth mentioning that after Leng Shiqi killed Zhang Hesu in Ping Hui City, he also met the conditions for the Underworld to level up.
However, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape when the Underworld leveled up. Seeing that a great battle was about to happen, he planned to level up the Underworld after destroying the Thousand Illusionary Sword Sect just in case.
Ou Ziyu walked to the edge of the deep pool and gently stirred it a few times. He said, "That's right. This is one of the nine array cores of the Thousand Illusionary Nine Pavilions Sword Formation!"
