When the three words "Tongxuan Realm" fell into the ears of the crowd, it was no doubt as shocking as a sudden clap of thunder!
It was the same for those civil officials in the hall who didn't have much cultivation base. They were all in high positions, and they knew some secrets that ordinary people didn't know.
The Sky Origin Realm was not the end of cultivation. There was an even higher realm that controlled the laws of heaven and earth, known as the Heaven and Earth Profound Realm!
It was also known as the Tongxuan Realm.
There were very few Sky Origin Stage cultivators in the world. One Sky Origin Stage cultivator was enough to support a top-tier sect.
There were only about fifty top sects in the world, and the difference between the top sects was huge.
The Thousand Illusions Sword Sect was at the bottom, with only the Thousand Illusions Sword Sovereign supporting it. The Mountain Sea Sect had two or three Sky Origin Realm experts, which was the norm.
The Blood Robe Pavilion, Imperial Beast House, and Blood Beast Sect all had several Sky Origin Realm experts and were considered to be at the front.
The top sects were at the top five sects. For example, the Ten Thousand Laws Mysterious Sect had nine Sky Origin Realm experts!
The Yin and Yang Halls, the Three Great Empires, and the Four Saint Spirit Realms were all Transcendent powers with more than ten Sky Origin Realm experts!
The Thunderfire Dynasty was a colossus, and their Sky Origin Realm experts were mainly concentrated in the Imperial Consecration Hall and the military. They had more than thirty Sky Origin Realm experts, which was terrifying!
Including the sects ranked on the World Sect Ranking and the lone cultivators, there were only a few hundred Heavenly Origin Stage cultivators on the entire Falling Star Continent.
The reason why the Thunderfire Dynasty was called a Transcendent power was not only because they had Sky Origin Realm experts, but also because they had Tongxuan experts!
The Tongxuan Realm was almost unknown to ordinary people. More than seventy percent of the cultivators in the world did not even know about this realm. This was because this realm was too far away, and those who had this level of cultivation could be counted with one's fingers.
There were only seven known Tongxuan Realm experts in the world!
They were from the Three Great Empires and the Four Saint Spirit Realms respectively. As for the Yin and Yang Halls, they were too mysterious. No one knew how many Tongxuan Realm experts they had.
Thus, when the Shoddy Prince mentioned that a Tongxuan Realm expert might have come to the capital and killed the Four Great Chief Stewards and the Crown Prince, the shock was too great!
When Leng Shiqi heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face, but he was laughing in his heart.
Someone actually mistook him for a Tongxuan realm expert. This way, no matter how they investigated, it would be impossible for them to trace it back to him.
In fact, in terms of the laws of heaven and earth, Leng Shiqi did indeed have the qualifications to reach the Tongxuan Realm. It could also be said that he had already paved the path to the Tongxuan Realm for himself!
As long as he didn't die prematurely, it was almost certain that he would break through to the Sky Origin Stage. It was even possible for him to reach the Sky Origin Stage!
While everyone was still immersed in shock, Heavenly Venerable Black Flames was puzzled. "There is indeed such a possibility, but why would that mysterious Mystic Comprehending realm cultivator want to kill Li Juecheng and His Highness the Crown Prince?
When he killed Li Juecheng, the Crown Prince was not yet the Crown Prince. Could it be that Li Juecheng and the Crown Prince have something in common? "
He immediately hit the nail on the head. It was impossible to kill someone for no reason. There must be a reason.
If Li Jue Cheng and the Crown Prince were both killed by the same person, it meant that the two of them had something in common.
For example, having a common enemy!
Those who could stand in the main hall were all smart people. They quickly thought of this point.
Leng Shiqi did not panic. He was indeed worried about the Crown Prince and Li Juecheng, but he believed that others would not suspect him.
First of all, Li Juecheng had dealt with Leng Shiqi secretly. No one knew about it except for Leng Shiqi and the Li Clan.
Now that the Li Clan had been destroyed, Li Juige and the Li Clan's Fourth Uncle, who knew the truth, were also dead. Therefore, no one knew about the grudge between Leng Shiqi and the Li Clan.
At most, it could only be said that Eunuch Gao and Li Juecheng had a grudge. As Eunuch Gao's disciple, Leng Shiqi naturally stood on the opposite side.
This point alone was not worthy of suspicion. If anyone wanted to suspect, they had to suspect Eunuch Gao.
As for the grudge between the Crown Prince and Leng Shiqi, it was actually not that big. Although He Deyi and a few others knew about it, the Crown Prince had offended many people and formed many grudges. One more Leng Shiqi would not make a difference.
Of course, Leng Shiqi was also someone who had a grudge against both Li Juecheng and the Crown Prince. Perhaps he would be suspected, but that grudge was far from enough to kill.
Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Leng Shiqi did not have the qualifications to kill Li Juecheng and the Crown Prince.
Unfortunately, they were all wrong!
Leng Shiqi not only dared to kill, but also had the strength to kill them!
Everyone was deep in thought, speculating about who the murderer was and whether or not he was hiding nearby.
Little did they know that the real murderer was standing right next to them!
Leng Shiqi looked at everyone with the intention of watching a good show.
During this time, Heavenly Master Hei Yan did glance at Leng Shiqi, but he quickly looked away. After a while, he said, "Now that Li Juecheng and the Crown Prince are dead, they might have angered someone in private, but we don't know."
"You're right."
The Humble Prince had not appeared for many years and did not know about the grudge between them. He agreed with Heavenly Master Hei Yan's opinion.
"I've already gone to see Old Master Qiao. He has already left the mountain. As long as that mysterious Metaphysical Realm cultivator appears again, he will definitely be discovered.
By then, no matter how strong he is, we must let him know the strength of the Thunderflame Dynasty! "At the end of his speech, the Humble Prince exuded a fierce and domineering aura.
The might of a king was fully displayed!
Leng Shiqi decided not to use the Power of Law so easily near the Imperial Capital in the future. If he was caught by that "Old Master Qiao", he would definitely die!
"The dignity of the Thunderflame Dynasty cannot be touched!"
Prime Minister Mo Linhui said, "However, I'm worried about something. The Crown Prince was supposed to ascend the throne next month, but he died in an accident. I'm very heartbroken.
However, the country can't be without a ruler. The throne of the Thunderflame Dynasty has been empty for almost a year. We should appoint another Crown Prince as soon as possible to reassure the people. "
"I summoned you here to discuss this matter." The Humble Prince also felt a headache when the Crown Prince was mentioned.
The late Emperor Lei Chengjun had long deprived Lei Haoyan and the other princes of the right to compete for the position of Crown Prince. Before he died, he could only give the position of Crown Prince to Lei Haoge, who was a general among dwarves.
However, Lei Haoge had died!
In this way, there seemed to be no suitable candidate among the remaining princes!
King Hui and King An were definitely not suitable. Lei Haoyan and Lei Haoran were not suitable either. Otherwise, they would be violating the late Emperor's decree.
What should they do?
"Do you have any candidates to recommend?" the Humble Prince asked.
The civil and military officials in the imperial court whispered to each other, but after a long time, no one stood out to say anything.
