In the Azure Thunder Army's fortress at the border of the Western Desert Prefecture.
Pang Ju, the person in charge of collecting intelligence, had just received the imperial edict from the imperial capital. His face was filled with embarrassment.
The imperial edict was for Xiahou Ba and Monarch Cloud Shuttle to launch a sneak attack on the Western Desert Prefecture!
The news about the Western Desert Prefecture had already spread. This imperial edict was meant to mobilize Xiahou Ba, a powerful expert, to completely crush the Western Desert Prefecture.
But the problem was that Xiahou Ba had gone into seclusion!
Before he went into seclusion, he had specifically instructed that unless the Six Nations of the Western Region or the Starfall Dynasty attacked, no one should disturb him. Otherwise, only death awaited!
Xiahou Ba was a man of his word in the borderlands. If he said he wanted someone to die, then they definitely wouldn't live.
Anyway, no one dared to disobey him.
Pang Ju held the imperial edict in his hands and was a little overwhelmed. He couldn't afford to offend Xiahou Ba, but he couldn't afford to offend His Majesty even more!
If he didn't give the imperial edict to Xiahou Ba, he would still be dead.
So he quickly called a few of his close friends and explained the matter to the Azure Thunder Army's deputy generals.
Everyone also felt that this matter was very troublesome. They discussed it for an entire afternoon before finally coming to a decision.
That was to place the imperial edict outside Xiahou Ba's seclusion room!
They had indeed given the imperial edict to Xiahou Ba. As for whether Xiahou Ba saw it or not, it was none of their business.
They weren't being perfunctory. Xiahou Ba's prestige in the Azure Thunder Army was much higher than Lei Haoyan's, who had just ascended the throne less than two years ago.
To put it bluntly, even if Xiahou Ba disobeyed the imperial edict, Lei Haoyan wouldn't dare to do anything!
Pang Ju held the imperial edict and placed it outside the secret room. He even muttered softly, "General, I'm here to announce the imperial edict."
He read the contents of the imperial edict in a low voice, then quietly left the place.
In the imperial palace, Lei Haoyan's soul doppelganger's face was gloomy. A person was kneeling in front of him. It was Jiang Yongbo, who had failed to capture Delta Aurigae.
"With your strength, you actually let them escape?" Lei Haoyan said hatefully.
Jiang Yongbo braced himself and explained, "Your Majesty, that Blood Moon used some method to disappear in front of my eyes. I think it's most likely some kind of secret technique or treasure that can teleport.
"Disappear directly …" Lei Haoyan repeated. His eyes widened as he suddenly thought of a possibility!
That is, the Underworld can be upgraded!
Presumably, after the subsequent upgrades, the members of Underworld would be able to teleport in at any time, making them invincible!
Delta Aurigae must have entered the Underworld.
"I miscalculated!"
Lei Haoyan cursed inwardly. He had never considered this point. However, he also knew that even if he was teleported into the Underworld, the location of his body would not change.
If the Delta Aurigae wanted to come out, it would only appear in the distance. Therefore, as long as they sent someone to guard the area, they would still have a chance!
But that was the Discipline Commission, where there were many masters, and Jiang Yongbo had already been exposed once, so he could not go there again.
Lei Haoyan waved his hand and said, "You can leave for now. Have Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit come and see Us."
Jiang Yongbo knew that Lei Haoyan wanted someone else to do the job, so he hurriedly excused himself. He was already very satisfied that Lei Haoyan did not punish him.
"Leng Shiqi, Delta Aurigae, neither of you can live!" Lei Haoyan's face instantly became distorted.
Delta Aurigae naturally did not die. After she destroyed the first ray of black light, she instantly entered the Underworld.
However, she did not expect that a Sky Origin Realm master would actually try to assassinate her in the Imperial Capital!
If she had not broken through to Unity of Heaven and Man at the last moment in the Wei Capital, she probably would not even have had the chance to escape into the Underworld before dying.
She did not realize that the other party wanted to capture her. After all, she had never fought with a Sky Origin Realm master before, so she could not tell if the other party had used his full strength.
Delta Aurigae calmed the boiling blood in her body. She was very lucky that she did not suffer any injuries this time.
She looked around and discovered that the Imperial Palace of Fengdu was surging with endless strange power. Waves of power that seemed to be able to destroy the world were constantly overflowing!
This was the spiritual technique that Leng Shiqi had comprehended in the Imperial Palace of Fengdu that was suitable for himself.
He now controlled the power of destruction, the law of reincarnation, and the law of earth. These powers of law had to be transformed into actual combat strength.
He had to create the spiritual techniques and secret techniques that were most suitable for himself.
Moreover, even if it was the same power of law, in the hands of different people, it might have a completely different performance.
Leng Shiqi was relatively good at this. He had only been in seclusion for a few days, and he had already begun to see results.
He was also a little opportunistic because he had used the power of law to remodel the spiritual technique that he was most familiar with in the past. Although he could not completely unleash the power of law's full power, this was the fastest way.
After all, he did not have much time!
After all, he had to obtain power that was stronger than a Mystic Comprehending realm master in the shortest time possible.
He also had to surpass a normal Mystic Comprehending realm master without a physical body!
Leng Shiqi sensed that Delta Aurigae had entered the Underworld.
At first, he did not pay too much attention to it. However, he noticed that Delta Aurigae's blood was surging. It was obvious that she had just fought with him.
She had entered the Underworld after fighting with him. It was very likely that she was being hunted down!
Leng Shiqi hurriedly stopped and stepped in front of Delta Aurigae.
"What happened?"
Delta Aurigae's expression changed. At this moment, she felt that Leng Shiqi was even stronger than he had been a few days ago.
"I … was assassinated in the Discipline Commission. The assassin was a Sky Origin realm master." Delta Aurigae told him what had happened not long ago.
Leng Shiqi was truly shocked!
Delta Aurigae did not have many friends in the Discipline Commission, but she also did not have many enemies. Who would assassinate her?
Moreover, she was in the Discipline Commission, in the imperial capital of the Thunderblaze Dynasty.
This was simply a slap to the Discipline Commission's face!
Most importantly, the assassin was a Sky Origin realm master!
After all, ever since Six Directions Spirit Sovereign had brought many Sky Origin realm masters into the imperial capital, he had already set up a large number of formations around the imperial capital. As long as a Sky Origin realm master approached, he would be discovered.
Where did that Sky Origin realm master come from?
Leng Shiqi's eyes narrowed. There was only one possibility. That person had always been in the imperial capital!
There were not many Sky Origin realm masters in the imperial capital. Moreover, most of them were in the imperial family's Hall of Worship and the Dragon Vein. Other than that, there were only the three commanders of the Discipline Commission, the Dark Lightning Guards, and the Patrol Guards.
What reason did they have to assassinate Delta Aurigae?
Suddenly, Leng Shiqi thought of a person. He was very likely to be the mastermind behind this.
All the Sky Origin realm masters in the imperial capital would listen to the same person. That was the emperor of the Thunderblaze Dynasty, Lei Haoyan.
In other words, it was Leng Shiqi's soul clone!
Ou Ziyu had already told him about the matter at the Western Wasteland Imperial Residence. Leng Shiqi originally thought that this was the best time for him to go into seclusion. However, he really did not expect that the soul clone would attack Delta Aurigae!
The soul clone was right. Delta Aurigae was indeed Leng Shiqi's reverse scale.
This was also the reason why Leng Shiqi did not dare to interact too much with Delta Aurigae. He did not want to implicate Delta Aurigae.
However, even if he could fool everyone, he could not fool his soul avatar!
Leng Shiqi's eyes were filled with killing intent. "Some things should be taken back."
