As the Crown Prince, Lei Haoge naturally had some experts under him. The three of them formed a triangle around Leng Shiqi.
"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"
Leng Shiqi's expression also darkened. In fact, there was already a faint killing intent in his heart.
"Liu Xingzhi, if you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me.
Now, this consort will ask you one last time, are you going to pledge allegiance to this consort or not!? "Lei Haoge finally revealed his true intentions and roared fiercely.
However, the more he acted like this, the more disappointed Leng Shiqi was in him. Perhaps Lei Haoge had been suppressed for too long, and suddenly a throne fell from the sky, causing some mental problems.
At the same time, Leng Shiqi became more confident because he could see that Lei Haoge needed his support and strength!
The Dark Thunder Guards were in charge of the world's intelligence. As the Crown Prince, Lei Haoge naturally couldn't take over the Dark Thunder Guards, so he needed the Dark Thunder Guards' intelligence to help him do things.
Among the Dark Thunder Guards, Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan wouldn't pay attention to him, and it would be difficult for the other three directors to submit to him.
Director Hai's seniority was too high. His prestige in the Dark Thunder Guards was only second to the Grand Commander. Moreover, he was already old. How many years could he be one of the four directors?
He wouldn't stand in line.
Shentu Zhen had a strong military background. Lei Haoge didn't have any military power in his hands, so it was impossible for him to order Shentu Zhen around.
As for Eunuch Gao, he was the previous Emperor's personal attendant. He had followed the previous Emperor for decades, and now his status was even higher. Even Lei Haoge, the Crown Prince, couldn't move him.
Therefore, among the Dark Thunder Guards, only Leng Shiqi was the most suitable.
As one of the four directors, his cultivation and power weren't high, so he was the most worthy person to be roped in.
In fact, if Lei Haoge was polite and offered some practical benefits, Leng Shiqi might consider it.
However, Lei Haoge was about to make a move, so it was impossible.
"Lei Haoge, you really can't change your nature. Even if you become the Crown Prince or even the Emperor, you're still trash." Leng Shiqi couldn't be bothered to feign civility.
"You!"
Lei Haoge was stunned at first, then immediately flew into a rage. "Liu Xingzhi, how dare you! Men, seize him!"
The three Unity of Heaven Realm cultivators moved their spirit power, and waves of powerful spirit pressure rushed over.
However, Leng Shiqi's expression didn't change. He turned to Eunuch He and said, "Eunuch He, you are a smart man. Lei Haoge has become the Crown Prince, but he hasn't made any progress. Instead, he is narrow-minded, arrogant, and unworthy of the position. Is this what you want to see?
Also, do you really think that the three of them can keep me here? "
A spirit sword that emitted a faint rainbow-colored radiance suddenly appeared. The sword did not move, but that terrifying sword intent filled the entire side hall!
The sharp Sword Qi instantly caused the three Unity of Heaven realm experts to retreat!
"Eight, Level Eight Earth Soldier!" One of them shouted in shock.
"How is this possible?"
"That is the treasure of the Thousand Illusion Sword Sect, the Thousand Illusion Sword!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch He walked to Lei Haoge and said, "Your Highness, Liu Xingzhi's strength is very strong, and he has the Thousand Illusion Sword. I'm afraid that the three of them really can't take him down.
Your Highness, don't be impulsive. Think about it. Last time when he was in Shantai County, he was only at the late stage of the Spiritual Aperture Realm, and he was just a Supervisor.
Now he is at the late stage of the Gang Spirit Realm, and he is one of the four directors of the Dark Thunder Guards!
His terrifying growth speed is too amazing. We'd better rope him in rather than make him an enemy.
And we also need his strength to make Your Highness sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Prince, so that you can make some achievements within a year.
When Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, you can do whatever you want with him! "
He secretly transmitted the last sentence and didn't say it out loud. It was also the last sentence that finally calmed Lei Haoge down.
"Liu Xingzhi, I won't force you. Go back and think about it. I'm waiting for your answer." After saying that, Lei Haoge directly flicked his sleeves and left.
Eunuch He secretly sighed. The current Lei Haoge was indeed very different from before, but as a servant, he could only persuade him a little.
He waved his hand to let the three masters leave, and turned to Leng Shiqi and said,
"Lord Liu, His Highness is young and impetuous after all. Please don't take it to heart.
Lord Liu, you can also think about what His Highness said. His Highness will never treat you badly. "
Leng Shiqi didn't believe it. He said a few perfunctory words and turned to leave.
After returning to Xingzhi Pavilion, he arranged all kinds of things and prepared for seclusion. As for the matter that Lei Haoge asked him to think about, he didn't take it to heart.
Among the various forces controlled by the Thunderflame Dynasty, there were three that were outside the imperial power.
The first was the Imperial Hall of Worship, where there were countless experts. These people had always been elusive. As long as something extremely important didn't happen in the Thunderflame Dynasty, they wouldn't show up.
Naturally, the imperial power couldn't control them.
In addition, there were the Dark Thunder Guards and the Discipline Commission. These two forces were directly under the emperor. However, the Thunderflame Dynasty didn't have an emperor now, so they were also in a situation where no one could control them.
Therefore, Leng Shiqi concluded that Lei Haoge couldn't reach the Dark Thunder Guards, so he prepared to ignore him and go into seclusion.
However, when he was about to enter the secret chamber, two people found him. They were Feng Shamo and Suluan, who hadn't shown up for a long time.
After returning from the Western Wilderness Prefecture, they also went into seclusion. Now, Feng Shamo's cultivation was the same as Leng Shiqi's, at the eighth level of Gang Spirit Realm.
And Suluan also broke through to Gang Spirit Realm.
They also knew about Leng Shiqi's recent achievements. Feng Shamo's eyes flashed with undisguised dissatisfaction and strong fighting spirit. He said, "I heard that you killed Thousand Illusion Sword Master."
"Senior Brother Feng, you must be joking. It's just luck."
Suluan didn't want to complicate things, so she continued, "Your speed of improvement is incredible. No wonder Master and the others value you so much. You didn't disappoint them.
Since you are now one of the four directors and have enough strength, we plan to go back to the Blood-Robed Pavilion. "
Leng Shiqi also felt that they should go. After all, their identities were still not perfect. Going back to the Blood-Robed Pavilion would save them from being exposed.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you."
"The next time we meet, I'll definitely beat you." Feng Shamo left these words before leaving.
Looking at Feng Shamo's back, Leng Shiqi suddenly thought that Feng Shamo might be a good choice to recruit into the Underworld.
With Feng Shamo's talent, it wasn't a big problem to obtain the inheritance of the Ten Kings of Hell. But the key was that Feng Shamo's identity was too sensitive, and he was arrogant and ambitious.
Unless he could guarantee that Feng Shamo wouldn't reveal the Underworld, he still had to consider carefully.
Keeping this matter in mind, Leng Shiqi announced to the outside world that he would completely enter seclusion. Unless there was something urgent, no one was to disturb him!
