Even after Elder Shao had completely disappeared, the spirit cultivators in the palace still hadn't recovered.
Leng Shiqi had actually defeated Elder Shao of the Six Directions Spiritual Region!
If it was in other realms, it wasn't particularly rare for the weak to defeat the strong, especially those spirit cultivators from the large sects who could occasionally do it.
But that was the Sky Origin Realm!
It was a powerful existence that had already surpassed the four realms of Heaven!
How could this realm be crossed just because one wanted to?
Moreover, Elder Shao was not a rogue cultivator. He was an expert from the Four Sacred Spiritual Regions. Whether it was his strength or cultivation method, he was naturally the best.
Even so, he was still defeated by Leng Shiqi in one move!
Just how strong was Leng Shiqi?
Many people couldn't help but gasp!
The only person present who was still clear-headed was the commander of the Azure Thunder Army, Xiahou Ba. At this moment, he was staring at Leng Shiqi with burning eyes, wishing that he could see through him.
"Everyone, there was an outsider who disturbed us just now. Now, I will give you one more chance. If you miss it, you will really miss it."
Leng Shiqi's cold voice spread to every corner of the palace, causing everyone's hearts to tremble!
Immediately, thirty to forty percent of the people knelt down to express their submission.
In addition to those who had already submitted, the number of people who were willing to recognize Leng Shiqi as their king was now as high as eighty percent!
The remaining twenty percent were people from a few first-rate sects and the Discipline Commission.
The Discipline Commission was difficult to make.
They were originally here to suppress the various spirit cultivators in the Western Desolate Province. If they all submitted to Leng Shiqi, then was there still a need for the Discipline Commission to exist?
However, Leng Shiqi's ferocity was too strong. Not only was his strength extraordinary, but he also seemed to be somewhat disregarding the reaction of the Imperial Capital. It seemed that he had something to rely on, so the Discipline Commission also had the intention to bow their heads, but they really couldn't open their mouths.
Leng Shiqi swept his gaze around and found a familiar face in the crowd of the Discipline Commission. He said, "Brother Wang, we haven't seen each other for a few years. I wonder if you still remember that you once owed me a favor."
The person he was talking about was the Grand Commissioner of the Discipline Commission, Wang Tai.
Leng Shiqi had spoken up for King Tai during the Monster Extermination Conference in the Wind and Thunder Watchtower, which earned him a favor.
King Tai was called out. He looked at Leng Shiqi who was standing high above and felt a little absent-minded.
When they were in the Wind and Thunder Tower, Wang Tai was in the Gang Spirit Realm, and Leng Shiqi was in the Spiritual Aperture Realm.
However, he was still in the Gang Spirit Realm, while Leng Shiqi had already reached the Oneness of Heaven and Men Realm.
A Sky Origin Stage cultivator who could defeat a Sky Origin Stage cultivator!
He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect Your Highness to still remember me. My cultivation is low, and my words carry little weight. I don't know how to repay this favor."
"You should know very well what I want." Leng Shiqi said with a smile.
King Tai's expression became even more bitter. He naturally knew that Leng Shiqi wanted him to persuade the people of the Discipline Commission to lower their heads, but he was not the person in charge of the Discipline Commission in the Western Wilderness Commandery, so he could not make the decision.
He turned his head and glanced at Cao Qingyuan, the Discipline Commissioner beside him. Cao Qingyuan did not say anything, but gave him a look.
King Tai immediately understood that Cao Qingyuan had already prepared to lower his head. At this moment, he only needed a way out, and King Tai was the way out!
He spoke in a low voice, but the people around could hear him clearly. "Lord Cao, I have an old friendship with His Highness, and he never does anything unprepared.
Besides, everyone has seen his strength. We have no room to resist. As the saying goes, a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. We'd better … "
King Tai shut his mouth after he finished speaking. Instead, he transmitted his voice, "My Lord, let's lower our heads for the time being and muddle our way through. I believe that the Imperial Capital will make a move soon. So, even if something happens, it won't be our fault."
Cao Qingyuan pretended to ponder, then half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head deeply.
The Discipline Suppression Commission had also submitted!
Now, only a few first-class sects had not made a choice. Seeing that the Discipline Commission, which had been suppressing them, had surrendered, they felt a little better.
"We are willing to obey Your Highness!"
In the end, the people of those sects had no choice but to make a decision.
At this moment, a large number of people in the prince's mansion had knelt down, which meant that the situation in the Western Desolation Prefecture had completely changed!
"Very good. I've prepared songs and dances for everyone. Drink to your heart's content and don't stop until you're drunk!"
Leng Shiqi clapped his hands and immediately, beautiful music started to play. Rows of beautiful female dancers started to dance gracefully, and the Prince's Mansion was instantly filled with singing and dancing.
Xiahou Ba stretched his body and stood up. "I'm tired of drinking this jar of wine. It's tasteless. I wonder if Your Highness has been here for a long time."
Leng Shiqi's nose twitched. The smell of this jar of wine was very strong. Even he, who was in the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, felt the smell of wine assailed his nostrils.
He knew that Xiahou Ba was not here for the wine, but for the purpose of his visit.
"Although the prince's mansion has just been built, it still has good wine. Brother Xiahou, please follow me." Leng Shiqi led Xiahou Ba to the main hall of the prince's mansion.
"Brother Xiahou, please take a seat."
"Hehe, Liu … Should I call you Liu Xingzhi or Leng Shiqi?"
"Since I've said it in front of everyone, you can call me Leng Shiqi." He did not care that Xiahou Ba suddenly called him by his name.
Xiahou Ba leaned back in his chair and said casually, "Well, Leng Shiqi, oh Leng Shiqi, I've heard of you by chance. It's better to meet you in person than to hear about you. Let's not talk about other things first. Your current strength is probably comparable to the middle stage of the Sky Origin Realm. I admire you!
It just so happens that I have a tricky problem in my hands. I need Your Highness's help. "
Finally, he got to the point.
Leng Shiqi looked puzzled. "I'm still a junior in front of Brother Xiahou. If you have any orders, just say it. I'll do it as long as I can."
Today, Xiahou Ba had given Leng Shiqi enough face from the beginning. Naturally, he would not be careless.
The reason why he dared to agree was that he had his considerations. The most important thing was that Xiahou Ba did not know his strength when he came!
In other words, Xiahou Ba originally planned to ask Leng Shiqi, who was in the Unity of Heaven and Man Stage, for help. Therefore, this problem should not be too troublesome.
When Xiahou Ba saw that Leng Shiqi agreed so readily, he was first stunned, then he clapped his hands. "Hahaha, Brother Leng is so forthright. You're definitely my friend.
In fact, it's not a big problem. It's just that there's something in Beiliu Country that I've been coveting for a long time. Due to my identity, I can't easily leave the Western Wilderness Prefecture.
However, Brother Leng is different. You're the King of the Western Wilderness. You can go to the six countries of the Western Regions openly. They'll open their doors to welcome you. "
At this point, Leng Shiqi finally understood that Xiahou Ba wanted to borrow Leng Shiqi's hand to get something from Beiliu Country.
This thing must be extraordinary if it could catch the eye of Xiahou Ba, who was at the peak of the Sky Origin Realm.
"May I ask what that thing is?"
Xiahou Ba said with a mysterious expression, "It's an eighth rank martial art called 'Three Talents Control Art'!"
