"I don't agree."
An incomparably cold voice rang out. The Jialan Monarch's expression turned extremely heavy. He had been enduring it but he was about to reach the end of his patience. A bandit who killed his way into his emperor palace, killing his loved ones, as well as those bandits who killed his children, the Lifire Empyrean actually wanted to recruit them as his subordinates? What does this mean? What did they treat him, the Jialan Monarch, as?
He naturally wouldn't agree. He wanted nothing more than to kill Qin Wentian and the others on the spot.
That peak-stage immortal emperor coldly glanced at the Jialan Monarch. He then spoke, "Jialan Monarch, this matter isn't something you can decide even if you don't agree or not. I will personally seek the Lifire Empyrean's opinion. If the Lifire Empyrean is willing, if you dare to disobey, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."
As he spoke, that immortal emperor took out his messaging crystal and sent a strand of his immortal sense into it. Although the Jialan Monarch had already guessed the result, he still stared intently at that immortal emperor.
Not long after, that immortal emperor spoke, "The Lifire Empyrean has ordered me to bring my men to the Lifire Palace to meet with him."
Although the Jialan Monarch already knew the ending, his expression was still extremely heavy when he heard this. He nodded, "Fine, I will follow you all to meet with the Lifire Empyrean."
He truly wanted to see how the Lifire Empyrean would recruit the bandits who killed his family into his subordinates.
"Sure." The immortal emperor nodded. He glanced at Qin Wentian, "Release her first."
Qin Wentian waved his hand and released Molan Immortal Emperor. The Jialan Monarch's silhouette flashed as he appeared beside her, supporting her. Molan Immortal Emperor glanced at the Jialan Monarch. As an immortal emperor, she was extremely weak right now. Even in her wildest dreams, she didn't expect that she would end up like this.
Princess Kitamura remained by Qin Wentian's side. Although there were so many experts here and there was no need for them to lie to Qin Wentian, she still stood together with Qin Wentian. If the people from the Lifire Palace really wanted to act against Qin Wentian, she would accompany Qin Wentian.
Perhaps even Princess Kitamura herself did not realize that the person whom she once hated and even wanted to kill with her own hands had now unknowingly become so closely connected with her.
"Let's go." That protector spoke. After that, the group of them flew towards a certain direction at the back of the emperor palace. There was a teleportation array there that could directly lead them to where the Lifire Palace was located. In a world, the Realmlord was in charge of the nine world palaces and each world palace was in charge of a total of nine monarchs. These powers were all intertwined with each other and were tightly connected.
The subordinate powers had no way to command the superior powers to do anything. But as long as the superior powers gave an order, the subordinate powers would gather together in the shortest amount of time possible.
Lifire City was one of the ten main cities of the Lifelong Realm. Other than the place where the Realmlord was located, there were also the nine supreme cities where the nine world palaces were located. The Lifire City where the Lifire Palace was located was naturally one of them.
There were many teleportation arrays in Lifire City, allowing one to travel to and from the various regions. The one in the Jialan Emperor Palace directly led to the Lifire Region. After exiting, the group of them sped towards a certain direction. Naturally, they were heading in the direction of the Lifire Palace.
As one of the most authoritative places in the Lifelong Realm, the Lifire Palace was like a heavenly castle, towering above the earth, piercing through the clouds. Looking up from below, this heavenly castle was incomparably majestic. In addition, the surroundings were shimmering with crimson fiery light as well as traces of dark destructive light, causing this Lifire Palace to exude an incomparably terrifying might.
It was rumored that there was a supreme grand formation beneath the Lifire Palace. The Lifire Grand Formation had the power to destroy the heavens and earth. If someone invaded the Lifire Palace and activated the Lifire Grand Formation, the entire Lifire Palace would be engulfed in flames. However, no one had ever seen the scene of the grand formation being activated before. In the Lifelong Realm, who would dare to invade the Lifire Palace, one of the nine world palaces under the Lifelong Realmlord?
At the entrance of the Lifire Palace, there was a flight of 10,000 meters, ascending step by step like they were on a pilgrimage.
The palace entrance was incomparably imposing and there were experts guarding it. The guards were all immortal kings. When they saw Qin Wentian and the others arriving, they all bowed and greeted, "Protector Chen."
Protector Chen was none other than the peak-stage immortal emperor protector. As a protector of the Lifire Palace, his status was extremely high and he was someone who stood by the Lifire Palace's side. There was no need for him to report to the Lifire Palace if he wanted to bring people in.
The group of them entered the depths of the Lifire Palace and came to a majestic ancient hall. Outside the hall, there was actually a group of immortal emperors guarding it.
"The Palace Lord is currently waiting for Protector Chen in the great hall." That immortal emperor nodded to Protector Chen.
"Mhm." Protector Chen glanced at everyone. "Let's enter."
As they spoke, the group of them entered the ancient hall. Within the ancient hall, there were several experts present, but none of them exuded an imposing aura. They simply stood there casually, with the exception of a figure in the lead. This figure was clad in black robes and had a medium build. His features were ordinary as well, but his eyes were filled with spirit. He was currently chatting casually with the others in the great hall and upon seeing them entering, his gaze swept over them. With just a single glance, Qin Wentian felt as though a pair of terrifying eyes could pierce through him with a single glance.
"I pay my respects to the Palace Lord." Protector Chen bowed.
"Jialan pays my respects to the Palace Lord." Although the Jialan Monarch already hated the Lifire Empyrean in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect in front of the Lifire Empyrean. He still bowed respectfully.
"Darknorth pays my respects to the Palace Lord." Princess Kitamura and the others also paid their respects.
The Lifire Empyrean waved his hand and smiled, "Protector Chen has worked hard on this trip."
"This is the duty of this subordinate." Protector Chen calmly spoke. "Palace Lord, I've already brought everyone here. Other than those who resisted and were killed, the other bandits are all here."
"ROAR!" A low-sounding roar rang out from the prison behind him. The Evil Emperor's eyes were sinister to the extreme as he stared at the Lifire Empyrean. Back then, the Lifire Empyrean was one of the two palace lords who encircled and killed the Night Empyrean.
"Evil Emperor, the Night Empyrean has already died for many years. You have been a bandit for so long but I didn't expect you to still be so restless." The Lifire Empyrean smiled at the Evil Emperor, as though he didn't care about the existence of a peak-stage demon emperor at all.
"I heard from Protector Chen that the Evil Emperor is willing to submit to me. Is this true?" The Lifire Empyrean asked again. He naturally wouldn't say that he was the one who initiated this. After all, the Jialan Monarch was still here. Although there were some things that everyone had a tacit understanding about, he still had to put on a good show on the surface.
Qin Wentian turned and stared at the Evil Emperor. That pair of demonic eyes of the Evil Emperor flashed with a hint of struggle. The Evil Emperor seemed to have sensed Qin Wentian's gaze and also glanced over. He exchanged glances with Qin Wentian as he steeled his heart and made up his mind.
Even if he had to suffer humiliation, he had to accept it. He had to wait. Even if there was no chance, he had to wait for one. Ye Qianyu was still in the hands of the Evil Emperor, he couldn't allow them to die for nothing.
"Really." The Evil Emperor closed his eyes, as though he was extremely unwilling. The Lifire Empyrean naturally understood his reluctance but he didn't care. What he wanted was a conclusion. He naturally understood that the Evil Emperor and the others wouldn't truly submit to him but he didn't need the Evil Emperor to do so either. He only needed them to be useful to him.
"What about you guys?" The Lifire Empyrean glanced at the others in the prison. Everyone nodded, feeling extremely unwilling to submit.
"Protector Chen, release them." The Lifire Empyrean waved his hand. Protector Chen directly walked up and kept the treasures that imprisoned them, releasing the Evil Emperor and the others from the prison.
"Palace lord." At this moment, the Jialan Monarch spoke. He stared at the Lifire Empyrean and spoke, "They killed my loved ones and children. I hope palace lord can retract your order and kill these heinous bandits to serve as a warning to others, shocking the other bandits."
The Lifire Empyrean glanced at the Jialan Monarch and smiled, "Jialan, I know your mood isn't good. However, there are many bandits in my Lifire Palace and this time around, your side suffered heavy losses. My Lifire Palace is severely lacking capable people. Now that these bandits are willing to repent, we will naturally give them a chance to redeem themselves."
"Palace lord, if even bandits like this can submit, wouldn't the hearts of your subordinates be bitterly disappointed? The other monarchs and subordinates of the other Lifire Empyrean would also be bitterly disappointed." The Jialan Monarch bowed.
"Impudent!" A peak-stage immortal emperor beside the Lifire Empyrean angrily berated. He stared at the Jialan Monarch, "Jialan, you dare to speak to the palace lord like this? Are you trying to offend your superiors?"
"Your subordinate doesn't dare." The Jialan Monarch still lowered his head.
The Lifire Empyrean stared at the Jialan Monarch as he slowly spoke, "Jialan, from your words, it seems like you have a great prejudice against this seat."
This voice was incomparably calm, yet it caused the Jialan Monarch to feel a chill. He lowered his head even more, "Your subordinate doesn't dare."
"This seat knows that your losses this time around are heavy and you lost your loved ones. I can understand you and hence, I didn't punish you. However, don't forget who you are. As one of the nine monarchs, two of your main mines were plundered by bandits. This is simply tyrannical and you, a monarch, don't even have the slightest bit of strength. You still need this seat to send people to cooperate with you.
"This seat is very disappointed in your ability." The Lifire Empyrean coldly spoke, his words causing the Jialan Monarch's heart to tremble.
"This group of bandits are much more capable than you."
The Lifire Empyrean spoke again, causing the Jialan Monarch's heart to sink to the freezing point. His countenance turned pale as he felt agony in his heart. He knew that the Lifire Empyrean wouldn't change his mind because of his words.
The people in the great hall all stared at the Jialan Monarch with mockery in their eyes. They naturally knew why the Lifire Empyrean would do this.
The other monarchs weren't like the Jialan Monarch who had a powerful clan behind him and dared to oppose the Lifire Empyrean. How could the Lifire Empyrean tolerate them?
"Qin Wentian." At this moment, the Lifire Empyrean no longer looked at the Jialan Monarch. He directly stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the Lifire Empyrean. After that, the Lifire Empyrean stood up from his seat and walked down. He stared at Qin Wentian and smiled, "I long knew that your relationship with Youhuang isn't bad and you have such talent. This seat truly admires you. Although you are a bandit, from what I understand, you were forced by the daughter of the Jialan Monarch, Jialan Mingyue, to become a miner. You originally had no choice but to do so. Speaking of which, this can't be blamed on you. Since you are willing to turn over a new leaf and submit to this seat, you can directly tell me what position you want."
The Jialan Monarch's body trembled violently as he involuntarily clenched his fists!
