Lei Haoyan sat alone in the Dragon Vein. His eyes kept flashing, hiding his deep fear.
It was too fast!
He thought he had the upper hand this whole time, trying his best to force Leng Shiqi out and then get rid of him.
But now Leng Shiqi had suddenly appeared and caught him off guard!
Especially that powerful sword intent of death. It really made Lei Haoyan feel like he was facing death!
He was actually just a part of Leng Shiqi's soul. Strictly speaking, he wasn't a true living being. But he was used to the life of an emperor and was used to casually deciding the life and death of others.
So he was starting to fear death!
Before Leng Shiqi died, he had always been very shrewd. He had Leng Shiqi's strategy and part of Lei Haoyan's decisiveness. In the eyes of the officials, he was a very qualified emperor.
Ever since Leng Shiqi's body was destroyed, Lei Haoyan had been completely panicking!
He had been in a state of anxiety and panic for a long time. It was precisely because of this that he lost his calm. Every step he took was wrong, and every step he took was wrong, and every step he took was wrong.
At this time, even Old Man Qiao was forced to appear. It was clear that Leng Shiqi was coming. Lei Haoyan didn't have a Tongxuan cultivator to protect him. He was very worried.
Someone suddenly barged into the Dragon Vein. Lei Haoyan was shocked, but he immediately recognized that it was an expert from the Hall of Worship. He asked anxiously, "What's happening outside?"
"Your Majesty, a mysterious Tongxuan cultivator is threatening to massacre the imperial capital. Old Man Qiao is delaying it. Your Majesty, please activate the Heavenly Thunderfire Orb and activate the Heavenly Punishing Thunderfire Formation!"
"Heavenly Punishing Thunderfire Formation. Yes, the imperial capital still has the Heavenly Punishing Thunderfire Formation. I will definitely kill this bastard here!"
Lei Haoyan seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He took out the Heavenly Thunderfire Orb to activate the restriction on it.
However, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
The hand was shockingly blood-red. It didn't look like a human hand at all.
"You disappoint me," Leng Shiqi's voice sounded. "I caught you so easily. You don't deserve to be my doppelganger."
Lei Haoyan's arm trembled. His pupils contracted. He looked at the bloody figure and his eyes filled with killing intent. He said in disbelief, "How did you …"
He suddenly looked at Silverlight who had just come in to report. That person was standing in place with dazed eyes.
The Soul Avatar seemed to understand. He laughed self-deprecatingly. "So it was all your doing."
"It's not a clever trick, but it's enough to capture you."
There was indeed nothing brilliant about this. However, there was a prerequisite for this, and that was that Leng Shiqi had to be able to exert the strength of a Tongxuan realm expert!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to lure out Old Master Qiao, and they wouldn't have had to activate the Heaven Punishing Thunderflame Array.
"There are two Heavenly Thunderfire Orbs. Ever since you gave me one but didn't tell me how to use the restriction on it, I knew you started to have your own consciousness," Leng Shiqi's soul power surged and invaded Lei Haoyan's mental space. At the same time, he continued to speak.
"I didn't stop you. Last time, when you asked me to go to the Northern Wei Empire to participate in the Myriad Spirit Gathering, I wanted to get you a lightning-type mutant to help you break through to the Divine Origin Realm.
I didn't care about your existence. As long as our interests were intertwined, it didn't matter.
Even when I was about to die, you chose to protect yourself. I also thought it was human nature.
But your biggest mistake was to touch someone you shouldn't have! "
At this moment, Lei Haoyan's eyes and mouth were wide open. He could no longer control his body. He could clearly feel his consciousness fading rapidly.
It wasn't fading. It was returning to where he came from.
In just a few breaths' time, Leng Shiqi's bloody figure disappeared. The Soul Doppelganger also disappeared!
Leng Shiqi didn't give him any chance. He directly took back his soul power and this body that belonged to him!
"Lei Haoyan's" eyes glowed red, but quickly returned to normal.
He clenched his fists. "It feels good to have a complete physical body."
Lei Haoyan's body wasn't weak to begin with. While his Soul Doppelganger occupied it, he had been cultivating. Now, he was at the peak of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
With such a physical body, Leng Shiqi's soul power and Soul Doppelganger's recovery, he believed that in his current state, he could easily defeat Old Man Qiao!
Of course, he hadn't really fought against a Mystic Comprehending realm cultivator yet. He couldn't use Lei Haoyan's body to fight Old Man Qiao.
Thinking of this, he shot out a ray of rainbow light from his hand. Silverlight, who had come to report, immediately woke up.
"Your Majesty, there's no time to lose. Please hurry …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Leng Shiqi interrupted him, "There's no need. Zhen wants to make a trip there personally."
"Your Majesty!"
Silverlight shook her head. "You can't. That mysterious cultivator is too strong. Wind Spirit's Thousand Hands was killed in one move. Even Old Man Qiao isn't sure he can win.
Your Majesty is a dragon. You can't risk your life. "
"How could I not know what you're talking about?"
Leng Shiqi sighed softly and said, "But if I hide in the Dragon Vein alone while all of you fight to the death with the enemy outside, I can't bear it.
Moreover, once the Heaven-Destroying Thunderfire Formation is activated, a large number of civilians in the Imperial Capital will be affected. I can't bear to see that happen.
Besides, how could that person not notice you coming to the Dragon Vein to send a message?
He said he would bathe the Imperial Capital in blood, but he's still tangled with Old Man Qiao. All these signs indicate that the mysterious cultivator doesn't plan to bathe the Imperial Capital in blood.
Perhaps he's just here to see me. "
Silverlight's expression was full of admiration when she heard Leng Shiqi's words.
To these experts of the Imperial Hall of Worship, they rarely paid attention to the various matters of the Imperial Capital. They didn't even know much about the emperor.
As long as the Thunderfire Dynasty had people like them, they could sit back and relax. It didn't matter who became the emperor.
Therefore, this was the first time Silverlight came into contact with the emperor in front of her. At this time, she only felt that the emperor was someone who cared about the country and its people. He didn't fear death and was exceptionally shrewd.
Facing such a person, even a Heaven Origin Realm cultivator couldn't help but admire him.
What she didn't know was that the emperor standing in front of her had actually changed three times!
Leng Shiqi said resolutely, "Let's go. Take me there."
"This subject obeys."
Silverlight's speed was indeed extremely fast. A silver light streaked across the night sky and the two arrived at the Discipline Commission.
At this time, Old Man Qiao was still foolishly arguing with Leng Shiqi's past incarnation.
They were both stalling for time. No one was willing to make a move, so they were in a deadlock until now.
When Old Man Qiao saw Silverlight return, he thought the matter was settled. Who would've thought that the emperor would also come!
He immediately had a bad feeling!
Old Man Qiao was anxious. However, Leng Shiqi's past incarnation suddenly changed its arrogant attitude. "You're the emperor of the Thunderfire Dynasty, Lei Haoyan?
You know this seat is here, yet you still dare to come. You're extraordinarily courageous. "
Leng Shiqi started to act with himself again. "Didn't you want this seat to appear? This seat is here."
