Leng Shiqi stretched out his hands and said indifferently: "Everyone is a guest from afar, please take a seat."
Everyone immediately sat down. Of course, not everyone had the qualifications to sit down. In fact, 70% of the spirit cultivators were still standing.
They also wanted to know what Leng Shiqi wanted to do.
He was the King of the Western Desolation, so it was normal for everyone to visit him. However, it was rare for Leng Shiqi to make such a big fuss.
Now that the King's Mansion had not been completed, he must have some plans for gathering everyone in such a hurry.
In private, everyone was secretly guessing Leng Shiqi's purpose, but they were not certain.
Leng Shiqi paused for a moment and said: "Today, I have invited everyone here to announce one thing."
Everyone held their breaths, wanting to know what he would announce.
"From today onwards, I am the King of the Western Desolation Province!"
Hearing this, most people were puzzled. Leng Shiqi was originally the King of the Western Desolation. Didn't he just announce the imperial edict?
But the more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that there was something wrong with this sentence. Then, many people immediately shivered!
Leng Shiqi said to become the King of the Western Desolation Province, not the King of the Western Desolation!
King of the Western Desolation, this was an extremely high status. There were not many people in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
But then again, the status of the Prince was high, but he did not have any real power.
You could have the power to cultivate your own power, but you could not command the big shots in the Western Desolation Province.
For example, Xia Hou Ba, the Dark Thunder Guards, and the people in charge of the Discipline Division.
And Leng Shiqi's words just now were to completely control the entire Western Desolation Province!
If it was just his own thoughts, then so be it. Who would be so ambitious?
He actually dared to say such words in front of all the influential people in the West Desolate Prefecture!
He was not afraid of provoking public anger, not afraid of being condemned in speech and writing, not afraid of being punished by His Majesty?
Even if Leng Shiqi was also one of the four directors of the Dark Thunder Guards, he was in charge of the Eastern Nine Counties, and his hands could not reach the Western Desolation Province.
How audacious of him!
The commander of the Azure Thunder Army, Xiahou Ba, was sitting right there. If he angered Leng Shiqi, he would not be kind to Leng Shiqi.
Everyone quietly glanced at Xiahou Ba. Everyone knew that this person had a fiery temper. How could he be as insolent as Leng Shiqi?
However, they saw that Xiahou Ba was drinking as if nothing had happened, as if he had not heard Leng Shiqi's words at all.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
He even thought that he had seen wrongly.
"This is Xiahou Ba?"
Leng Shiqi was also secretly observing Xiahou Ba. Among the people present, only Xiahou Ba was worthy of his attention.
Xiahou Ba's reaction was beyond Leng Shiqi's expectations. The more Xiahou Ba reacted this way, the more suspicious Leng Shiqi became. He wondered what Xiahou Ba's purpose in coming to Spirit Sealing Bizarre Valley was.
Xiahou Ba was the strongest and had the highest status among all of them. Now that he pretended not to hear, who would say something?
At this time, Yu Ruifeng, the inspector of the Dark Thunder Guards of the Western Wilderness Prefecture, stood up. The others thought that he would refute, but who would have thought that he would say, "Your Highness has been appointed to the Western Wilderness Prefecture. Naturally, you have to take over everything here. I don't care about others, but everyone in the Dark Thunder Guards of the Western Wilderness Prefecture is at your disposal!"
As early as a month ago, Eunuch Gao had already contacted Yu Ruifeng. He only told him that seeing Leng Shiqi was like seeing Eunuch Gao himself. No matter what Leng Shiqi did, he had to obey him.
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked!
Yu Ruifeng's decision made everyone feel like they had betrayed him!
At this time, they realized that something was wrong. Just now, they subconsciously thought that no one here would yield to Leng Shiqi. There were even a few masters of the Oneness of Heaven and Men realm who were eager to make a move.
However, the situation did not develop in the direction they expected.
First, Xiahou Ba did not care. Then, Yu Ruifeng surrendered. The rest of the people suddenly felt like they were scattered sand.
Then, the major sects, families, and city lords of the Northern County all stood up and said, "We are willing to follow Your Highness!"
The others could not help but widen their eyes. If the word "follow" spread to the Imperial Capital, it would be a serious crime!
This could not be blamed. The main reason was that Leng Shiqi's influence in the Northern County was too great, or it could be said that it was too terrifying!
Last time, when Leng Shiqi came to welcome the envoy, he had already bribed the major forces in the Northern County. Now, it came in handy.
The only ones who did not speak were the Discipline Commission and the forces of the Eastern, Western, and Southern Counties.
Until now, they still couldn't understand. Were those people who defected all crazy?
When the people in the Imperial Capital and His Majesty knew about this, they would definitely be furious. At that time, all those who surrendered would not have a good ending!
When Leng Shiqi saw that these people were still hesitating, his face immediately turned cold. "I advise everyone to be more open-minded. You won't be at a disadvantage if you follow me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this Western Desolate Province will become a bloodbath.
Unfortunately, I don't know how long it will take for the Western Wilderness County to return to its current prosperity. "
When everyone heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. Leng Shiqi dared to threaten them so blatantly. He really did not care about them, nor did he care about His Majesty!
"The King of the Western Wilderness is so powerful."
Just when everyone did not know what to do, a figure broke through the air and said sarcastically.
"Who is that?"
"He must be an expert of the Sky Origin Stage."
"I have some impression. He seems to be an expert of the Liuhe Spiritual Region!"
"Why is someone from the Liuhe Spiritual Region here?"
When Leng Shiqi saw the person, he narrowed his eyes and recognized him. This person was Elder Shao, who had brought the disciples of the Liuhe Spiritual Region to the Blood Cloak Pavilion to participate in the gambling match!
What was he doing here?
"It's only been a few years since we parted. I didn't expect you to be so famous. I wonder if the King of the Western Wilderness still recognizes me?" Elder Shao asked with a cold smile.
In the eyes of others, Elder Shao seemed to be an old friend of Leng Shiqi. However, these words were undoubtedly a threat to Leng Shiqi!
In the world, the only people who knew his true identity, other than the Blood Cloak Pavilion, were those who had participated in the gambling match.
However, Leng Shiqi's appearance had changed greatly after the gambling match. He even hid his identity and joined the Dark Thunder Guards. How did Elder Shao know that he was the King of the Western Wilderness?
Leng Shiqi immediately thought of a possibility, and it was very likely.
This news was leaked by the Blood Cloak Pavilion!
When Six Direction Spirit Sovereign broke into the palace, Leng Shiqi had delayed him for a short period of time. Presumably, Six Direction Spirit Sovereign had already held a grudge against him.
The Blood Cloak Pavilion leaked his identity to the Six Direction Spirit Region because they wanted to use the Six Direction Spirit Region to threaten him!
Leng Shiqi thought to himself, 'It seems that the words that Master brought back are useless. However, the Blood Cloak Pavilion is really bold. Aren't they afraid that the people of the Six Direction Spirit Region will really expose my identity?'
The Six Direction Spirit Region and the Blood Cloak Pavilion had secretly reached some kind of agreement. Therefore, it was almost impossible for the Six Direction Spirit Region to expose Leng Shiqi's identity. However, they could use this information to threaten and control Leng Shiqi!
Seeing that Leng Shiqi did not speak, Elder Shao snorted coldly and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. What should I call you now?
The King of the Western Wilderness, Liu Xingzhi, or Leng Shiqi! "
The crowd immediately buzzed with discussion. If Elder Shao was not speaking without thinking, then the King of the Western Wilderness's identity did not seem to be that simple.
Leng Shiqi turned his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The crowd instantly fell silent.
He suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Very well, this King wants to announce the second thing.
From today onwards, my name is Leng Shiqi! "
