Although the Ming Lei Kingdom was at the forefront among the 137 vassal states of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, as its capital, the architecture of Lei Emperor City was the same as that of most cities in the ghost world, simple and primitive.
After just entering the city, Shi Chishang saw all the houses along the way made of mud and sand mixed with a small amount of iron. It was not until he passed through the two sub-city walls that the surrounding buildings gradually became more refined and gorgeous, and the closer to the palace in the center, the more beautiful the buildings became. Gorgeous, even the surrounding streets have obvious planning classifications.
The headquarters of the Dulei Chamber of Commerce is located in the west of Lei Emperor City, which is exactly the direction that everyone entered the city. They were walking on the Chi Road, so in less than a quarter of an hour, they had arrived at the headquarters of the Dulei Chamber of Commerce.
They had already contacted the headquarters after entering the city, so before they even approached the gate of the headquarters, Shi Chishang could already see a group of men and women standing at the door in the distance. Nearly 70% of them were beautiful young women, with tears on their faces and pear blossoms in their eyes. Yu, more than 30% of the remaining people are middle-aged people, both male and female. They are all dressed in beautiful robes and full of luxury. At first glance, they are not ordinary people.
The shuttle had just stopped and Du Anxian had just stepped off. The young women had already rushed over crying and rushing towards Du Anxian, shouting and asking whether he was okay.
Seeing Du Anxian being surrounded by a large group of beautiful women, Shi Chishang's lips twitched slightly, but Mr. Xin was obviously not surprised. While ordering his subordinates to hand over the goods, he led Shi Chishang towards the middle-aged men and women at the door.
"Mr. Xin, it's great that you are safe and sound!" Seeing Mr. Xin coming over, a burly man grinned and laughed.
Mr. Xin greeted them with a smile, and a middle-aged woman suddenly asked: "Old Xin, I heard that when we entered the city earlier, there was one person in the entourage who fought with Jian Lie for hundreds of rounds without losing. I wonder who it was?"
At first, Mr. Xin was still wondering. The senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce had always been unwilling to leave early. It would do no harm or good to them to come back safely. How could they suddenly come to the door to welcome him? Only now did he understand that they were the ones who dared to love him. After receiving this news, I came to the door to "recruit talents".
Mr. Xin thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said calmly: "That's the one."
Several senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce looked at Shi Chishang, their expressions changed. The middle-aged woman who asked the question before laughed angrily and said, "Just forget it if you don't want to introduce me. Why do you need to fool us? This person is only at the peak of Pluto, how can he be so capable?" Fight with that Jian Lie?"
Seeing that several people had hesitant expressions on their faces, Mr. Xin twisted his beard and smiled and said softly: "If you don't believe me when I tell you, then it has nothing to do with me. Okay, okay, don't block the door." As he spoke, he had already Pushing a few people aside, he led Shi Chishang towards the headquarters.
After entering the headquarters, Mr. Xin introduced the history of the Chamber of Commerce to Chi Shang as he walked, and soon came to a courtyard.
Reaching out to push open the gate, Mr. Xin smiled and said, "This is the Second Young Master's villa, but it's rare for him to come over. There is someone dedicated to cleaning it on weekdays. During this time, I have to worry about little friend Hun Ting staying here first."
Shi Chishang put his hands in his pockets and looked around leisurely, but in fact his soul consciousness had already spread out quietly. After confirming that there were no surveillance restrictions in the other courtyard, he nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, little friend," Mr. Xin chuckled, "Second Young Master should wait a while before coming over. You go inside and rest first, and I'll go get the three thunder diamonds for you."
When mentioning Thunder Diamond, Shi Chishang looked a little more serious, cupped his fists and said, "Okay."
Mr. Xin's efficiency was extremely fast. He had only been away for half a quarter of an hour and had already returned with three thunder drills. From this, it can be seen that this person's status in the chamber of commerce is not low, and he is on par with the senior officials at the door.
As for those three thunder diamonds, they were exactly the grade Shi Chishang needed, but he only needed one to refine the clone. He thought about the remaining two when he returned to the Yin Yang Sect and then looked for opportunities to sell them or exchange them for other things.
In the next few days, Shi Chishang stayed in another courtyard to practice every day, constantly sorting out the thunder path he had understood so that he could refine the clone in the best possible condition.
But every day, Anxian would come to him once, either complaining about the "enthusiasm" of the concubines, or chatting with him about other people who participated in the Lei Chi Dian.
There are 360 invitations for each Leichi Ceremony, and about forty of them will be assigned to the top powers in Shengtang, such as the Shengtang royal family, the six major ministers, the Shura clan, the three major sects, etc.
The remaining invitations will be distributed through auctions.
The combination of gifts and auctions not only helps Ming Lei Kingdom make friends with other forces, but also earns resources for the royal family.
What made Shi Chishang quite relaxed was that among the people who participated in the Thunder Pond Ceremony this time, there were only a few people who were at the peak of the Hades Emperor. Most of them were in the early stage of the Hades Emperor and the middle stage of the Hades Emperor, and there were also a certain number of people in the stage of the Hades Emperor.
This is because the Lei Pond is, after all, a paradise for thunder monks. The monks who practice other avenues can only rely on the power of thunder to temper their bodies. When they reach the peak of the Underworld, their foundations have already been rounded and there is no need to temper them again.
On the contrary, those monks who have not yet reached the peak of the Underworld Emperor need to enter the Thunder Pond because they need to further strengthen their foundation.
After several battles, Shi Chishang had a certain assessment of his own combat power.
If he no longer uses the three most powerful trump cards of the Styx Death Sword Technique, Nether Sword Wings, and the Light of Life and Death, Shi Chishang can at most rely on his soul power, which is comparable in magnitude to the Emperor of Hades, and his ability to naturally surpass the two realms of ghosts and underworld. His soul path surpassed the early stage of the Underworld Emperor.
If combined with the three clones currently condensed, his combat power can crush the mid-stage Pluto Emperor.
And once you use your three trump cards, no matter how many avenues you have gathered on your throne, as long as you are still in the stage of Queen of Hades, Shi Chishang will be confident that you can suppress them with force.
Only at the peak of the Underworld Emperor, although Shi Chi Shang could easily escape due to his speed, it was absolutely impossible to defeat or even kill the opponent.
According to Shi Chishang's estimation, if he wanted to truly fight against the Peak Pluto Emperor, he would have to condense at least the tenth clone.
But if you want to truly surpass the peak of the Underworld Emperor, you can only refine all the thirteen avenues into clones.
Of course, these are still too far away from Shi Chishang, and at this stage, he is not qualified to fight in a life-or-death duel with these young supremes.

"Sure enough, the tide of evil beasts continues, and the old guy can't sit still anymore."
"Nearly half of the defenders of Thunder Emperor City have been mobilized, and the seven major families have also sent out their best troops..."
"Now the city's defense is at least 60% empty!"
In the luxurious mansion, three figures in red robes sat together. These people all had red hair and red eyes, and were filled with uncontrollable hot and violent thoughts. Moreover, their facial features were very similar, and they were obviously of the same race. brother.
The two people talking were one of them, one with a majestic appearance, the other with a fierce aura. The man with a majestic appearance glanced around and caught a glimpse of the remaining third person sitting alone in the corner, hunched over, as if whispering something, and he couldn't help but frown. Wrinkle: "Lie Lu, what are you doing?"
Fierce deer! That third person turned out to be the culprit who caused the tide of Yin beasts outside Zi Lei City that day.
Seeing that Lielu was still hunched over without raising his head, the man who was speaking was about to speak when his face suddenly turned cold. He stood up together with the man next to him and looked towards the door with cold eyes.
With a creak, the door of the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man who was also wearing a red robe but looked obviously a generation older strode in, followed by a slender man wrapped in a black cloak. figure.
Seeing the middle-aged man, the faces of everyone in the room relaxed.
Several people in the room were all members of the Lieshan Kingdom's royal family. The man with a mighty bearing was named Lie Zhen, the eldest prince of the Lieshan Kingdom. The powerful person was called Lie Huang, the fifth prince of the Lieshan Kingdom. As for Lielu, he was the Lieshan Kingdom's fifth prince. The eighth prince.
The person who had just walked into the house was Liejiang, an older member of Lieshan Kingdom's royal family and the contemporary General of Lieshan Kingdom.
Glancing at Lie Lu in the corner, Lie Jiang walked to the front seat and sat down. The cloaked man followed and stood beside him.
After looking at Lie Zhen and Lie Huang, Lie Jiang said in a deep voice: "The spies reported that the city lords of Bing Lei, Huan Lei, and Ding Lei have all led their troops to fight against the beast tide. Without them, Ming Zun in Lei Emperor City is now Only that old guy Lei Zhen and Du Zhengting from Du Lei Chamber of Commerce."
"It's just the two of them?" Lie Zhen looked happy, "Then when the matter is completed, it will be easier for us to evacuate."
Lie Jiang shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the king is worried about Shengtang. Otherwise, according to my wishes, I would lead several Ming Lords from the country to come together at this time. There would be no need to use stratagems to plot the Lei Chi. I would directly take the Lei Chi by force." Yes."
After hearing his words, the cloaked man who had been silent since entering the room slightly raised his head and said with a chuckle: "Lord Liejiang is joking, Mingzun is so powerful. Once he takes action, he will definitely attract the attention of others, and the plan will go smoothly. It’s harmful and useless.”
Lie Jiang snorted when he heard this and glanced at him slowly, with disdain in his eyes: "You are a clever bitch. If the king hadn't trusted you, I would have slapped you to death."
Seeing that the man in the cloak did not answer, Lie Jiang snorted heavily and said in a deep voice: "In two days' time, the opening of the Thunder Pond Code will be held. You should prepare well and don't miss the important event of the king!"
Facing this powerful and domineering clan uncle, Lie Zhen and Lie Huang could only put away their arrogance and let the other party give orders here.
*——*——*
"interesting."
In the Thunder Palace, in the king's bedroom, a handsome man sat cross-legged in front of the table. His pure purple hair was floating in the wind, and wisps of lightning flowed from time to time. If you look carefully, you can also find that there are three feet above the man's head. There is a faint black cloud, and every ray of lightning comes from it.
"This tide of Yin beasts came out of nowhere, without any warning in advance. This weirdness is too obvious," the handsome man chuckled softly, his peach blossom eyes slightly bent like a fox with a light of joy, "Just as the Lei Chi Code is approaching, they The target should be Lei Chi Dian, but I don’t know whether it is to destroy Lei Chi Dian or to plot something in Lei Chi Dian.”
"Which one do you think it's for?"
In addition to the handsome man, there is actually a strong silver-haired man in this palace. However, this man has been standing behind the window sill, his figure half hidden by the curtains. If he hadn't suddenly spoken, it would be difficult to realize that there was someone else here. other people.
Seeing the strong man asking, the handsome man pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "There are too few clues, it is difficult to judge, but since they are for Lei Chidian, then we will do what they want, mobilize the forbidden army, and mobilize the masters of the seven major families. Call out the elites of the three great cities and give them sufficient defense."
"Aren't you afraid of being naked?" The silver-haired man turned around and frowned.
The handsome man reached out to his neck, grabbed a ray of lightning, and said with a leisurely smile: "That's your thunder pool, not mine. Even if there is a loss, I have nothing to lose!"
With a snort, the silver-haired man crossed his arms and said coldly: "Anyway, something happened to Lei Chi. I will crush that little brat of yours to death."
Rolling his eyes, the handsome man stretched his arms leisurely and stretched: "Okay! It's up to you. Anyway, at that time, you kissed your nephew and killed him. Later, you can explain to our parents why. Their grandson suddenly disappeared."
The silver-haired man looked at the man's laziness, his eyes twitching slightly, but he stopped talking. He just turned to face the window with a sullen face.
