Volume 11: The Crown Prince Chapter 90: Corrupt Forces
When Tong Qi left the bloody space, he only saw that the bloody space was finally folded into the size of a gem.
Lian Xiao inside was completely "squeezed" into a part of the bloody space under that folding.
"He is not the real master of the Bloody Space. There is someone else who has higher authority over the Bloody Space."
"No wonder I failed to fully control it in the end." Tong Qi realized it belatedly.
His control over time and space has now reached an extremely strong level. If the bloody space is just an interlayer world separated from the real time and space, then he can completely control it and become its master.
Even Lian Lian Xiao was bound by him in space, and at that moment, he still could not fully control the entire space.
The problem here is very serious.
Afterwards, the matter was kept secret, and even Hezhi rushed over and examined the two of them.
Coming with Hezhi was the third knight, a girl named Li Ke. Both of her parents died because of events related to the Cult of Hades and she herself was almost contaminated by the Cult of Hades' beliefs.
Fortunately, hatred supported her and prevented her from forgetting that the suffering itself came from the Cult of Hades.
Finally she was chosen and became the third knight - Knight of Revenge.
She not only symbolizes her own hatred for the Cult of Hades, but also symbolizes the kingdom 's hatred for the Black Mist and Hades, and declares that revenge is about to begin.
After a series of inquiries and inspections, Tong Qi finally had time to take a look at what had happened.
It has now been confirmed that it was Lian Xiao, the ninth-level guard, who embezzled the three void crystals from the defogger, creating the illusion that the void crystals had disappeared.
After that, after Lian Xiao was sent to the villa for recuperation, he directly killed all the servants and maids around him and took their blood for a blood sacrifice ceremony.
Then he went to the other side of the royal city and hid there.
They searched the scene for some things and, based on some witnesses and physical evidence, determined that Lian Xiao was planning to forge a new identity there and then appear in front of the world with the new identity.
But he didn't expect that Tong Qi would come to his door with people at that time.
So he had no choice but to take action and trap them all in the bloody space, and eventually they ended up like that.
"Lian Xiao must have accomplices." This is something that everyone can confirm.
But no one can tell who this accomplice is.
Some people believe it is the Cult of Hades, because the nature of the power of the two is actually similar.
Some people think that it was the guy behind the black fog, because his main purpose before was to steal the defogger, and the defogger itself is used to restrain the black fog.
Some people even said that it was a new natural disaster. In addition to the black fog and the underworld, there were other forces involved, such as the one who captured King Lilina.
This statement was met with awe-inspiring looks from the gods.
This claim was thoroughly investigated, and a surprising and awe-inspiring piece of news was revealed.
That was when Lilina fought against an unknown enemy, and the energy used by the opponent was very similar to the bloody energy this time.
However, those who witnessed all this at the time thought that the users of the blood-colored energy were just some cultists and were not a big threat.
Now that the bloody energy has reappeared and caused the corruption of a ninth-level guard, it has attracted attention.
Since then, most of the evil cults have suffered bad luck. Shenwei once again took action himself and swept through many evil cults, hoping to find the trace of Lilina among them, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end.
On the other hand, Tong Qi had some thoughts about the bloody energy.
Long before the Black Mist appeared, King Lilina encountered the user of blood energy.
Then the forces that use blood energy may have been entrenched in the kingdom for a long time.
“Look in the direction of importance, then…” Tong Qi turned around and looked towards Wang Cheng, the doubts in his heart grew.
After the disaster, Lilina suddenly gave up the throne and passed it to Shenwei, then disappeared again. She had a battle with a guy and then disappeared again.
This means that Lilina at least knows something.
"This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Lian Xiao's words flashed in Tong Qi's mind again.
Then Tong Qi couldn't help but look at Lu Bai, hoping that Lu Bai could give some instructions.
"What kind of person do you think Lilina is? Is she a qualified king?" Lu Bai gave a hint while standing aside.
"Apart from the fact that she suddenly passed the throne to Shenwei, she is definitely a qualified king." Tong Qi said immediately. Although there were still various problems during Lilina's reign, he, Tong Qi, was also treated unfairly.
However, there is no big problem with Lilina herself. She is a qualified king and can treat most things fairly.
And many of her orders and policies are oriented towards the people and justice.
However, in the later period, the government orders were increasingly not being correctly implemented, and problems arose among the people below...
"The people below." Tong Qi shuddered and thought of something.
King Lilina was definitely a wise king. She established the entire kingdom single-handedly and carried out many timely reforms in the early days.
Tong Qi immediately went to look through the history book. To him, the story of Lilina in the early and middle periods had become history.
Soon, Tong Qi discovered the problem.
In the early and middle stages, Lilina was a wise ruler, and her policies always changed with the times.
Moreover, when problems arise with the people below her, she can punish them quickly and then replace them.
It can be said that if Tong Qi traveled back to that period, he might not be able to do as well as Lilina.
The person he wants to be is actually the person that Lilina was in her early days.
However, in the later period, although Lilina was still considered a qualified king, the replacement of personnel had become less and less frequent.
"The class structure has become rigid." Tong Qi gradually discovered the problem. Many important positions have been occupied by different families.
Even if these families had dirty tricks, they were not cleaned up in a timely manner.
In other words, Lilina was like two different people in the later period of her rule compared to the early and middle period.
"But judging from some policies, it's not that she doesn't want to clean up these parasites in the country, but that she has no choice. She has been sidelined." Tong Qi understood it instantly, and then felt goose bumps all over his body at this moment.
"Or maybe... she has also changed." Tong Qi suddenly thought of something, which is the issue of lifespan.
He could probably guess why Lian Xiao fell.
In that bloody space, Lian Xiao seemed extremely proud of his own "life". Based on this point alone, the motive for Lian Xiao's depravity was very clear.
"If that's the case, then why hasn't King Lilina, who has lived for a thousand years, degenerated? Why has he been able to live for a thousand years?" Tong Qi had this thought for a long time.
Shen Wei can live for a thousand years because he is unreasonably strong. Since he is so much stronger than everyone else, it is normal for him to live so long.
As for Lilina, although she is also very strong, she is only at the level of a senior ninth-level guard. Maybe she would be stronger if she mastered some secret techniques, but that's all.
At this moment, Tong Qi couldn't help but wonder whether Lilina also used the blood sacrifice method.
The corrupt class of this kingdom, this so-called man-made disaster itself started with Lilina.
However, Tong Qi later changed his thought process and continued to think from the point that Lilina was sidelined.
"If that's the case, then there must be something wrong with the several families that have existed in the kingdom for a long time."
"Ninth-level guards have been replaced one after another for about three hundred years. However, if those families themselves have no ninth-level personnel and have no moral ability, but still steal high positions, there must be something wrong."
Tong Qi immediately wanted to start investigating, but he didn't expect to see He Zhi when he opened the door.
"Come with me." He Zhi smiled very kindly, but Tong Qi felt something was wrong.
But there was no other way, Tong Qi could only follow He Zhi.
"Learning history is a good thing, but remember that history is just history, not our life." He Zhi said as he walked in front.
In an instant, Tong Qi realized that his thoughts had been exposed.
But this is not surprising. He Zhi is recognized as the smartest person in the kingdom. His intelligence is not only reflected in his research ability, but also in his wisdom.
It is not surprising that he knew the secrets of the kingdom, and it is not surprising that he discovered through clues that Tong Qi was investigating this matter.
"However, history is our past life." Tong Qi also retorted at this time.
“So, if you want to pursue history with your current life, then those people will turn you into history.” He Zhi said with a smile.
These words actually made Tong Qi relax. Judging from the word "they", He Zhi was not one of those people after all.
"Are they very strong?" Tong Qi asked. He knew that they were very strong, but these people should not be above the country and control the country in secret.
His question was more about how strong these people are and what confidence they have to do this.
"They have gradually come into existence since the emergence of level nine ability users in the middle period of the kingdom."
"Over the years, they have come into contact with ninth-level magic enhancers who are afraid of death."
"And as far as I know, in recent years, there are very few people who are not afraid of death." He Zhi opened the door of his room, then made a gesture of invitation and invited Tong Qi into his room.
"If that's the case, then if they want the Void Crystal, they can just take it directly. Why bother with the theft and make such a big fuss?" This is also what Tong Qi doesn't understand.
"That's because they are testing the Black Mist, testing the king, and testing the various forces that are paying attention to the kingdom."
