Qin Wentian also froze when he saw the smile on the Lifire Empyrean's face. At this moment, the Lifire Empyrean didn't exude any sense of imposingness at all. He was smiling at him, like an elder of the Lifire Empyrean's generation.
In the great hall, many immortal emperors stared at Qin Wentian as smiles appeared on their faces. Protector Chen laughed, "Qin Wentian, such treatment is truly rare. As a protector, I've never enjoyed such love from the Lifire Empyrean before."
"He's so young and has such outstanding talent. No wonder the Lifire Empyrean treats this junior so highly." Another immortal emperor laughed, as though he was very friendly to Qin Wentian. How was this treating Qin Wentian as a bandit? Qin Wentian was speechless but he soon recovered. He naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to ask for a seat. He politely replied, "Wentian thanks the Lifire Empyrean for your love. I know nothing about the Lifire Palace but I'll do as palace lord says. It's just that if Wentian is so bold, can I make a request?"
"As long as you don't request me to release Ye Qianyu, everything can be discussed." The Lifire Empyrean laughed, not bothering to hide anything at all. It was like this incident that caused a commotion in the Jialan Monarch's territory was insignificant in his eyes.
"I wish to meet with Ye Qianyu." Qin Wentian stared at the Lifire Empyrean, not knowing what his reaction would be. However, he only saw the Lifire Empyrean casually smiling, "No problem. I'll get Protector Chen to bring you to meet with Ye Qianyu later. It's just that Ye Qianyu is the leader of the bandits and is also the daughter of the Night Empyrean. It's impossible to release her. Naturally, if it isn't for you being able to make great contributions in the future, I might be able to give her better treatment. For example, as long as she obediently stays in Lifire City, it's fine."
Qin Wentian's eyes suddenly gleamed with light. However, the Lifire Empyrean smiled and returned to his seat. He then continued, "You just arrived here, it's not convenient for me to directly appoint you as one of the nine monarchs. Also, although your combat prowess is strong, you are still lacking. In the future, if you can break through to the mid-stage of the immortal king realm and make some contributions, you might have a chance to become a monarch, helping this seat to guard a region. Right now, you can temporarily take over the position of the governor of the northern regions of Lifire City."
Many people in the great hall had gleams of sharpness in their eyes. Back then, although the Lifire Empyrean regarded Princess Kitamura highly, he only allowed her to continue guarding the Jialan Monarch's territory and didn't give her any important tasks. But now, the moment Qin Wentian arrived, he who was only at the initial-stage of the immortal emperor realm was actually given the position of governor. However, very soon after, a meaningful look appeared on their faces. The Lifire Empyrean's actions were truly brilliant.
"In addition, since the Evil Emperor and the others are willing to submit and are familiar with you, I will hand them over to you. They will be your subordinates. Naturally, if these fellows still dare to act recklessly in the future and don't cherish this opportunity, this seat will definitely kill them." The Lifire Empyrean's voice suddenly grew more imposing. A powerful might bore down on the Evil Emperor, causing the Evil Emperor to lower his head. His large eyes flashed with a ferocious light but he could only endure it for now.
"Palace Lord." At this moment, Princess Kitamura who was at the side spoke. The Lifire Empyrean glanced at her and asked, "Youhuang, do you have something to say?"
"Palace Lord, Qin Wentian and I are old acquaintances. Can you arrange for me to go to Qin Wentian's territory as well?" Princess Kitamura spoke. Qin Wentian glanced at her when he heard this.
"Youhuang, I have other arrangements for you. There's no need for you to go to Jialan's territory in the future, just listen to my instructions. However, I know that your relationship with Qin Wentian isn't bad and both of you are in Lifire City. The two of you can meet and chat at any time, there's no need for you to stay together." The Lifire Empyrean smiled. Princess Kitamura naturally understood that this was a rejection. She knew that there was no need to mention it anymore. Hence, she nodded, "Sure."
"Alright, Protector Chen. You are the one who brought these people here, I will hand them over to you. First, get Qin Wentian to meet with Ye Qianyu. After that, get them to head to the northern city regions for the handover." The Lifire Empyrean instructed. Protector Chen nodded, "Your subordinate bids farewell."
After speaking, he glanced at Qin Wentian, "Brother Qin, let's go."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. Protector Chen's way of addressing him instantly changed to 'Brother Qin'.
Nodding his head, Qin Wentian coldly glanced at the Jialan Monarch. The Jialan Monarch's expression was extremely ugly to behold but he didn't say anything. What else could he say? The Lifire Empyrean has already arranged everything. There was no need for him to say anything.
How laughable. These bandits actually became governors in the blink of an eye. In addition, they were even assigned to the northern city regions. The schemes of the Lifire Empyrean were truly deep.
"Your subordinate will take my leave as well." The Jialan Monarch bowed. The Lifire Empyrean calmly nodded as he sat there and closed his eyes. The Jialan Monarch cast a deep glance at the Lifire Empyrean before he turned and departed. This time around, he was played by the Lifire Empyrean, borrowing the hands of the bandits. However, what else could he say? Most probably, his clan would only feel that he was useless. If not, how could he be in such a miserable state because of a bunch of bandits? The Lifire Empyrean was merely taking advantage of the situation. In the end, he even sent people to help him.
If this wasn't because he was useless, what else could it be? The Jialan Monarch's departing back was filled with desolation. But when he walked out of the emperor palace, his eyes flashed with an extremely cold light. The northern city regions? He would definitely make them die without a burial ground.
Even if this place was Lifire City and not the region he, the Jialan Monarch, was in control of, so what of it? His clan was everywhere. He would definitely take revenge for this.
Naturally, the Jialan Monarch understood that this was the result the Lifire Empyrean wanted. But even if he knew, how could he not take revenge?
If he had enough strength, he would definitely drag the Lifire Empyrean in for revenge. It was just that he was still too weak now. The Lifire Empyrean was one of the nine world palace lords, one of the nine empyreans under the Lifelong Realmlord. How could it be so easy to deal with him?
Protector Chen, Qin Wentian, Princess Kitamura and the Evil Emperor walked together. Protector Chen spoke to Qin Wentian, "Brother Qin, in the future, you and I will both serve the Lifire Empyrean. Let's get closer to each other."
"Protector Chen is too polite." Qin Wentian replied.
"Brother Qin, I've already witnessed your combat prowess. In the entire Lifire Palace, empyreans with such combat prowess are extremely rare. No wonder the Lifire Empyrean favors you and made an exception for you, directly conferring you the title of a governor. Such treatment has never been given to anyone before. Also, a governor has to be at least at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm." Protector Chen spoke.
Qin Wentian calmly nodded. He didn't say anything, he only wanted to see Ye Qianyu as soon as possible and see how she was doing.
Behind them, the Crow Emperor's expression was also extremely unsightly. He didn't expect the Lifire Empyrean to play such a trick. Although he knew that the Lifire Empyrean was making use of Qin Wentian, he still felt very uncomfortable. After all, he was the one who acted against Ye Qianyu and Qin Wentian this time around. Qin Wentian would definitely harbor hatred in his heart.
In addition, the Crow Emperor knew what the Lifire Empyrean wanted to do with Qin Wentian. In that case, the Crow Emperor would definitely support Qin Wentian, even allowing his cultivation base to improve and giving him authority. If that was the case, things would be extremely awkward for him.
However, he couldn't control the Lifire Empyrean's intentions. He knew very well what sort of character the Lifire Empyrean was. Hence, he didn't say anything earlier and only listened quietly, silently contemplating.
…
Ye Qianyu was a mid-stage immortal emperor with extremely powerful combat prowess. She was also the leader of the bandits and her imprisonment naturally wasn't ordinary. Right now, Ye Qianyu was treated as a serious criminal and was imprisoned in the Lifire Jail of the Lifire Palace.
The Lifire Jail was a supreme treasure that contained a dimension within. The atmosphere within was extremely sinister and terrifying. When Qin Wentian and the others came out, they immediately felt a terrifying sinister aura gushing over. Outside the jail, there were two guards. Their cultivation bases were only at the immortal king realm and were pitifully weak. However, there was no need for guards to guard the Lifire Jail. No one would be able to escape and no one would dare to break into the jail.
"You guys wait outside." Protector Chen spoke to the Evil Emperor and the others.
"Why can't we enter?" The Evil Emperor coldly spoke, not giving any face to Protector Chen at all.
Protector Chen coldly glanced at him, "The Lifire Empyrean only agreed to let Governor Qin meet with her. You guys remember this. Right now, you are working for the Lifire Empyrean and you have to follow his orders."
The eyes of the Evil Emperor were extremely cold. Qin Wentian glanced at him and spoke, "I'll go."
The Evil Emperor nodded and didn't say anything more. He watched as Protector Chen and Qin Wentian entered the Lifire Jail together.
The interior of the prison was extremely vast. It was pitch-black, sinister and damp. As he walked in step by step, numerous terrifying gazes landed on him. He saw many characters with disheveled hair staring at him. These people were all locked up in their own cells. Also, their cultivation bases were all extremely high, all of them were immortal emperors. Yet, they were all imprisoned here as death row prisoners.
"Protector Chen, how will the Lifire Empyrean deal with these people in the future?" Qin Wentian asked.
"That would have to depend on him. However, many of them would be refined into death puppets or trained as death warriors. Naturally, if there are people who are willing to work for him outside, there would naturally be exceptions." Protector Chen's words seemed to be hinting at something. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with an unsightly expression. Was he using Ye Qianyu to hint to him that he would work for the Lifire Empyrean outside?
Finally, Qin Wentian saw Ye Qianyu. She was locked up in an independent cell. Her aura was extremely weak and her cultivation base was sealed. When she saw Qin Wentian appearing, a look of shock appeared on her haggard face.
"Brother Qin, you guys can chat." Protector Chen left at the right time. Qin Wentian had a look of guilt on his face when he saw Ye Qianyu's appearance. He clenched his fists tightly.
However, he only saw Ye Qianyu smiling sweetly. Her smile was incomparably radiant and was as charming as ever. She spoke in a seductive tone, "Why? Are you so unhappy to see me?"
"I've implicated you." Qin Wentian walked to the side of the cell and stared at that beautiful silhouette.
Ye Qianyu walked to the side of Qin Wentian and smiled, "Not bad, you have already broken through to the immortal emperor realm. As expected of the man I fell in love with. My judgement is as good as ever."
Qin Wentian felt even more pain in his heart when he saw that she was the same as before. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her haggard face but he only saw Ye Qianyu retreating, evading his hand. "I gave you a chance in the past but you didn't want it. Now, you want to take advantage of me?"
