In the imperial palace, Lei Haoyan paced back and forth anxiously.
The Delta Aurigae had hidden in the Mansion of the Dead. Although he had sent people to secretly guard them, there was nothing he could do if the Delta Aurigae did not come out!
Those in the Oneness of Heaven and Man realm could already abstain from eating. The Delta Aurigae could also slowly cultivate inside. As long as Leng Shiqi recovered, it would be the time of Lei Haoyan's death!
He could not just sit and wait for death!
He still had a chance, and that was the Western Wasteland Mansion.
Once Xiahou Ba took action, the mansion would definitely be destroyed. He believed that Leng Shiqi must be related to the Western Wasteland Mansion. The mansion was the force that Leng Shiqi had painstakingly cultivated. When the time came, it would definitely not be able to hide.
However, two days had passed, and he still did not receive any information about the Western Wasteland Prefecture!
Lei Haoyan was so anxious that he did not even ask about the imperial court anymore. He had been waiting for the result.
At this time, the little eunuch Zuo Ying walked in with a slightly panicked look. "Your Majesty, there is no movement from the Western Wasteland Mansion."
"What's going on?!"
Lei Haoyan was shocked and angry. He had already ordered Xiahou Ba to take action. It was reasonable to say that the Western Wasteland Mansion should have been turned into ruins. He did not believe that Leng Shiqi could still find someone strong enough to fight against Xiahou Ba.
Zuo Ying wanted to say something but stopped. Under Lei Haoyan's furious gaze, he lowered his head and said, "According to the news, General Xiahou has gone into seclusion and did not receive the imperial edict."
"Xiahou Ba, how dare he defy the imperial edict!"
Lei Haoyan did not roar. Instead, he suppressed his voice. However, the more he did so, the more it meant that he was extremely angry!
Lei Haoyan was also an expert in the Oneness of Heaven and Man realm. In his anger, a layer of Purple Crystal Frost Flame ignited all over his body. Zuo Ying was so scared that he rolled and crawled.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. General Xiahou is a man of his word in the army. No one dares to disturb him when he is in seclusion, so he still does not know that the imperial edict has been issued."
"How dare you!" Lei Haoyan was so angry that his hands trembled.... and then he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
He had been sitting on the throne for two years now, and the officials from top to bottom were quite convinced of him as the Emperor, at least in the Imperial City.
However, he had forgotten about the generals who controlled the armies at the border!
In the eyes of those people, he was just a brat.
It would take a long time and a lot of methods to make those people completely obedient.
The plan to deal with the Western Wasteland Royal Residence had failed once again!
In order to completely destroy the Western Wasteland Imperial Mansion, they would either need a peak-level Sky Origin Stage cultivator or a few late-stage Sky Origin Stage cultivators.
Xuan Haoying would definitely not destroy the Western Wasteland Royal Residence.
Aside from Xuan Haoying, there was another Heaven Origin Pinnacle Stage existence in the Royal Hall of Worship. However, that person had been wandering around for a long time and wasn't very close to the Thunderflame Dynasty. It would be difficult to mobilize him.
The only thing they could do now was to send another two or three experts on the same level as Monarch Cloud Shuttle.
However, he had been delayed for a few days. This was definitely the best time for Leng Shiqi!
Even Lei Haoyan himself could not guarantee to what extent Leng Shiqi had recovered. After all, Leng Shiqi had the System and could create miracles!
If Leng Shiqi's soul power was strong enough, Lei Haoyan would not be able to avoid the fate of being devoured even with Old Man Qiao's protection.
The feeling of not being in control of one's own life was too terrifying!
It was so terrifying that it made one go crazy!
Lei Haoyan's initiative was gradually slipping away, but he could not think of a better way. He had a lot of power in his hands and dozens of Sky Origin Stage cultivators under his command, but he still panicked.
Just as he was at a loss, a terrifying sword intent suddenly exploded in the Royal Capital. The sword's cry tore through the sky and a boundless silence filled the entire Royal Capital!
Lei Haoyan was shocked. He turned into a stream of fire and rushed out. He saw that the sky above the Royal Capital was already shining with six different colors. The Royal Capital's array had been activated in an instant.
"Ah!!"
Then, a miserable howl echoed through the sky.
Lei Haoyan's expression changed when he heard the sound.
What made him even more terrified was that he could clearly sense Leng Shiqi's soul power in the Royal Capital!
He had come.
He had come so quickly!
Lei Haoyan's figure flashed as he rushed toward the Dragon Vein.
Just a moment ago, the Discipline Commission's courtyard where Delta Aurigae lived had been repaired and was almost exactly the same as it was before it was destroyed.
Those who passed by could not help but sigh. It was a pity that the people inside were no longer there.
Other than the people from the Discipline Commission, there was another person standing high in the sky, looking down at the courtyard.
This person was dressed in a green and white robe, giving people a feeling of elegance and grace.
He was one of the Sky Origin Stage cultivators of the Hall of Worship, Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit.
He cultivated the power of wind and could blend in with the wind between heaven and earth. Even the current Discipline Commission's Grand Commander Ge Xiao could not detect this person.
Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit had come on Lei Haoyan's orders to keep an eye on things. In truth, he was also very confused. Logically speaking, Delta Aurigae should have fled long ago. How could they come back so easily?
Even if they came back, the first thing they would do would be to seek protection from Ge Xiao. There was no way they would directly return to their own courtyard.
He did not know what Lei Haoyan's intentions were, but since it was His Majesty's order, he could only follow it.
Thousand Wind Spirit Hands stared at this place from high up in the sky without blinking. Sure enough, a beautiful figure strangely appeared in the originally empty courtyard.
It was Delta Aurigae!
"His Majesty is indeed brilliant." Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit admired Lei Haoyan in his heart and then prepared to capture Delta Aurigae.
However, what surprised Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit was that Delta Aurigae raised her head and looked at the sky. Although there was a thick layer of white clouds between them, Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit actually felt that Delta Aurigae was looking at him!
He had been discovered!
Even Ge Xiao could not detect his existence, but he was discovered by Delta Aurigae, a junior who had just entered the realm of One with the World?
Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit felt that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and the energy of heaven and earth gathered like a gale, instantly condensing into a huge vortex of wind spirits in the air.
Delta Aurigae's red lips moved slightly. "You guessed right. There really is someone hiding in the dark."
"Swoosh."
Leng Shiqi appeared beside her in the form of a blood shadow. His entire body was filled with killing intent as he coldly said, "You're courting death."
Immediately after, Leng Shiqi's eyes became pitch black, without a trace of white in his eyes. His entire person seemed to have transformed into the King of Hell, emitting a terrifying aura of death.
He gently clenched his hand and a long sword condensed in his hand. He pointed the sword at the sky and in an instant, an endless sword intent of death tore apart the vortex of wind spirits in the sky.
The sword intent of death continued to explode. The gates of hell opened and thousands of ghosts howled. This sword that wielded the power of death to the extreme should not exist in this world!
Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit was extremely frightened. At this moment, it was as if the God of Death was standing in front of him and could take his life with just a hook of his finger.
That was indeed the case. The terrifying sword of death pierced through the heavens and the earth, turning the fearsome world into a purgatory.
Thousand Hands of the Wind Spirit did not even have the qualifications to resist and was directly annihilated!
