It has already been three months since the new northern governor took up his position. During these three months, there were no movements at all.
The governor's manor became even more lazy. Before this, there were still some people who were extremely cautious and cautious. But after three months, the entire governor's manor was like scattered sand. This new governor would most probably be the same as the previous governors. He wouldn't care about anything and would just waste his time here until he was transferred away by the Lifire Empyrean.
In the inner residence of the governor's manor, a powerful law energy suddenly descended from the sky. This was emperor light. Many people in the governor's manor inclined their heads and glanced over. Who took out an emperor-ranked weapon?
In Qin Wentian's sleeping quarters, a figure flashed as he entered. This figure was a little lion. When he saw the situation inside, his gaze instantly froze. At this moment, Qin Wentian was standing on a cultivation platform and had activated the grand formation of the platform. The astral light radiating from the platform originated from this.
"This is the cultivation platform you created?" The Evil Emperor stared at the figure on the platform as he asked.
"Although the quality of this platform is a little inferior compared to the one created by Senior He Tu, at the very least, my cultivation isn't affected. Evil Emperor, I have to thank you for this." Qin Wentian nodded to the Evil Emperor.
"That cultivation platform was originally created by the Lifire Empyrean for you. It's only right for him to give it to you after he dismantled the materials." The Evil Emperor calmly spoke. "Seems like your talent isn't just limited to cultivation and combat. You actually have such a high level of proficiency in formations. With such proficiency in formations, you don't need to worry about cultivation resources at all. Even if you don't join any major powers and are just an unaffiliated cultivator."
"It's still far from enough. I still need to be stronger in this aspect." Qin Wentian didn't feel too much joy. He then asked, "Did any of the three vice governors answer the summons?"
The Evil Emperor shook his head. A faint smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. "Since this is the case, let's go to the outer residence for a walk."
"Right." The Evil Emperor nodded. After that, Qin Wentian walked out of his sleeping quarters. With a single step, he soared through the air and a moment later, he stood in the training grounds of the governor's manor. Before him, there was a training platform that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. There were nine war drums in the surroundings and he stood in the air. His robes fluttered in the wind and with a wave of his hand, a thunderous boom rang out, shaking the sky, transforming into terrifying sound waves that engulfed the governor's manor.
At this moment, many people in the governor's manor inclined their heads and glanced over. After that, several figures sped over, only to see Qin Wentian standing in the air with his hands behind his back. Exuding magnificence through the generations, he didn't even glance at them. In an instant, a formless pressure enveloped the entire training ground. Those who came here all stood on the platform and bowed, "We pay our respects to the governor."
Qin Wentian still stood in the air, not saying a word. More and more experts arrived and very swiftly, over a thousand people appeared on the platform. All of them bowed and paid their respects. The formless might of an immortal emperor radiating from Qin Wentian was sufficient to cause them to feel immense pressure.
His immortal sense swept out, enveloping the governor's manor. Everyone has arrived. However, out of the three thousand people in the governor's manor, only about a thousand or so appeared here.
"Where are Zhao Yichuan, Lu Tong and Zhong Zihua?" Qin Wentian calmly spoke, his voice devoid of emotions. The entire training ground was silent, no one replied.
These three were none other than the three vice governors of the governor's manor. It has been a very long time since they last appeared in the governor's manor.
The entire training ground was silent, the atmosphere was somewhat stifling.
"The three vice governors aren't here. In that case, the attendants under them can all step out." Qin Wentian spoke again. A moment later, more and more attendants stepped out. Each vice governor had ten attendants under them, for a total of thirty attendants. However, only twelve of them stepped out right now.
"I'll give you all the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. Zhao Yichuan's subordinates, stand in the center, the ten attendants and your subordinates, stand in a line respectively. Lu Tong's subordinates, stand on the left, Zhong Zihua's subordinates, stand on the right." Qin Wentian's voice was as calm as ever. There was basically no need for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. In just an instant, the thirty formations appeared on the training ground. However, the number of people in each formation was different.
"I believe that all of you have the means to send a message to your governors, attendants and subordinates, telling them to pass down my orders immediately. Within four hours, all of you have to appear here. If anyone of you dares to conceal anything and go against the governor's orders, you all should know what punishment you will receive." Qin Wentian flicked his sleeves as he sat down on the high seat and closed his eyes in meditation.
Everyone took out their messaging crystals and sent their immortal sense into them. Although messaging crystals were extremely valuable, those who could serve the governor's manor were all at least at the immortal king realm. They would all be equipped with messaging crystals to make it easier for them to carry out missions.
After the order was given, not long after, people hurriedly rushed back. The number of people gathered on the training ground grew more and more. After all, the vast majority of them didn't dare to go against the new governor's orders. If not, who knew if the new governor would use them to establish his dominance.
But even so, there were still many people who didn't show up. Four hours later, there were over 2,500 people gathered on the training ground but there were still over 400 people who didn't show up. Out of the thirty attendants, twenty-four of them showed up and six of them didn't show up. As for the three governors, not a single one of them showed up.
Qin Wentian glanced at the six attendants who were absent. With a wave of his hand, six beams of light landed on six of them as he spoke, "The six of you will take over the positions of the six attendants from now on."
The expressions of the six changed. One of them directly lowered his head and said, "Lord Governor, your subordinates are useless and don't dare to take on the position of an attendant."
"Reporting to Governor, the attendants might have been carrying out some missions outside and were delayed." Another person spoke in defense.
The other four didn't say anything. Qin Wentian nodded, "I respect your opinions."
After speaking, he waved his hand again as the beams of light landed on the other two. "I'll appoint the two of you as the new attendants. Are you willing?"
"I'm willing." One of them clenched his fists and nodded. The eyes of the other flashed with sharpness as he bowed, "Your subordinates will obey the governor's orders."
The two who spoke earlier all had pale expressions. Such an appointment was a little too decisive.
"After I took over, I've never given out any missions. No matter who it is, no one has a mission on them. Even if they are patrolling or doing some other things, four hours is more than enough for them to return. All attendants, count the people in your respective formations and report the names of those who didn't show up. I will erase their names from the governor's manor."
"Your subordinates came late, please forgive us, Lord Governor." A voice rang out as three figures sped over. The person in the lead had a dignified countenance and his cultivation base was at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm. He was one of the ten attendants under Lu Tong.
Qin Wentian glanced at him, "Before this, you have already been expelled from the governor's manor. Right now, you are no longer a member of the governor's manor. The three of you, leave immediately."
"Reporting to Governor, we do have urgent matters to attend to. This is a mission given to us by Governor Lu. There was a robbery incident at an auction house and we are heading there to handle it. Governor, you can ask Governor Lu about it." That peak-stage immortal king continued to bow. Although he seemed respectful, the fact that he mentioned Governor Lu's name made Qin Wentian's ears feel a little piercing to his ears. Was he talking about Lu Tong?
"This seat has given the order for the three of you to return within four hours. If you are carrying out a mission outside, you can report to Governor Lu and get him to report to me. I will naturally understand. However, this seat didn't receive any reports at all. Hence, let me repeat myself once more. There's no longer a position for the three of you in the governor's manor."
Qin Wentian glanced at the attendant as his gaze turned sharp. He then spat out a single word, "Scram."
That peak-stage attendant froze. When he saw the sharpness in Qin Wentian's eyes, he felt a little guilty. He was wondering why Governor Lu hadn't appeared yet.
"Subordinate Lu Tong pays my respects to Lord Governor." At this moment, a clear voice rang out. The three immortal kings instantly heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this voice.
An instant later, Vice Governor Lu Tong appeared in the air. He stood there and clasped his hands to Qin Wentian, "Ever since Governor Qin took office, I have been busy with missions and didn't have the time to come to the governor's manor. Today, I learned that Lord Governor has summoned me and immediately rushed over. I hope that Lord Governor won't blame me."
Qin Wentian sat there, inclined his head and stared at Lu Tong. His eyes were incomparably calm, he didn't reply and simply stared at Lu Tong.
Lu Tong was a mid-stage immortal emperor, he naturally wasn't an ordinary character. His expression was still filled with respect as he calmly clasped his hands.
"Are you talking to Lord Governor Qin?" The eyes of the Evil Emperor flashed with a demonic green light. He inclined his head and stared at Lu Tong. Lu Tong stood in the air, looking down from above. What attitude was this?
"Governor, please forgive me." Lu Tong had an awkward look on his face. After that, he landed in front of the platform and clasped his hands, "Lu Tong came here in a hurry and didn't think too much. I hope that Governor Qin won't blame me."
"Vice Governor Lu, can you help this seat to ask when Governor Zhao and Governor Zhong would be able to come?" Qin Wentian suddenly smiled as he asked. Lu Tong bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Governor Qin, right now, I have no way to contact Governor Zhao and Governor Zhong."
"Is that so? This seat still wanted to treat the three governors to a few cups of wine. I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find them." Qin Wentian stood up and helplessly shrugged. Lu Tong coldly laughed in his heart, was this Qin Wentian trying to rope them in? As for the immortal king subordinate of Lu Tong, a look of disdain could be seen on his face.
"Oh ya, I've tried to contact the three governors three months ago but there's no reply. Could it be that your subordinates didn't manage to relay my message to Vice Governor Lu? Since this is the case, what's the point of having these fellows around? "
"Governor, please don't blame them. This subordinate knew that Governor Lu wanted to meet you but because I had something important to do, I couldn't return. Please forgive me." Vice Governor Lu shook his head.
"In that case, they are still guilty. Since Governor Lu told them that you had something important to do, you should have reported it to me. Yet, they actually chose to conceal it, causing me to wait bitterly for three months. I can't forgive them so easily." Qin Wentian glanced at the attendants under Lu Tong.
"Lord Governor, at that time, this subordinate had something urgent to do and didn't have time to reply to them. This has nothing to do with them." Lu Tong replied.
"Is that so?" Qin Wentian suddenly laughed, a cold expression could be seen on his handsome face. When Lu Tong saw his smile, a hint of wariness flashed through his eyes as he hurriedly spoke, "Governor Qin, please forgive me."
"Forgive? In that case, does Governor Lu know that you are guilty? " Qin Wentian smiled. "Butler, according to the laws of the Lifire Palace, a vice governor failed to obey the governor's orders and didn't reply even after three months. What punishment do you have?"
