The Emperor Pavilion's auction house was gradually on the right track. Many experts came here because of its fame, willing to hand their treasures over to the Emperor Pavilion for auction. Although they didn't have too many good treasures, they were still gradually gaining popularity. In addition, the Emperor Pavilion's transaction market itself was able to attract more people to the auction house.
In addition, every month, Grandmaster Di Tian would take out an emperor-ranked weapon he personally forged to be auctioned. The crowd discovered that the treasures auctioned today were all extremely rare and extraordinary. This continued for several months and everyone came to a conclusion. Every month, when the emperor-ranked weapons created by Grandmaster Di Tian were being auctioned, there would be extremely valuable treasures appearing. Hence, the Emperor Pavilion would always be exceptionally lively on this day.
Although there weren't many people during normal days, Mo Fei wasn't worried. As long as this continued, he believed that the Emperor Pavilion's auction house would only get better and better. In addition, the transaction market was also expanding, more and more people were willing to come here to trade.
Everything was progressing in a good direction.
He and Mo Junyi would stay in the Emperor Pavilion for a hundred years. He believed that within this hundred years, the Emperor Pavilion would definitely become a major power in Lifire City that couldn't be underestimated.
Today, it was another auction day for the emperor-ranked weapon forged by Di Tian. It was a mid-grade emperor-ranked weapon, a stone tablet. This stone tablet was made from a miraculous material and was inscribed with terrifying runes. Once it unleashed its power, it would be able to directly seal and kill enemies. Right now, everyone in Lifire City knew that Grandmaster Di's weaponsmithing abilities were getting stronger and stronger. He could create many types of divine weapons and was an all-rounded genius.
It was just that no one knew how long Grandmaster Di had cultivated for and what his appearance was like. Up until now, no one had ever seen Di Tian's true appearance before. Even Mo Junyi and his serving girl, Little Zhu, had never seen Di Tian's true appearance before.
After the auction ended, everyone felt that it wasn't enough and they all left.
After the auction ended, Mo Fei and Mo Junyi heaved a sigh of relief. Mo Fei smiled, "It's time for the Emperor Pavilion to continue expanding. With our current manpower, we might not be able to make ends meet. Given our current development momentum, I believe there would be more people willing to join us."
"Mhm." Mo Junyi nodded lightly.
"Miss, it has been tough on you." Mo Fei glanced at Mo Junyi.
"I'm doing fine." Mo Junyi casually smiled. Mo Fei cast a deep glance at her and smiled, "Sadly, this Grandmaster Di is truly a rock."
"Grand supervisor." At this moment, a figure hurriedly walked over. It was none other than the immortal emperor that the Emperor Pavilion recruited.
"What's the matter?" Mo Fei couldn't help but ask when he saw how flustered the other party was.
"There's a problem. After the treasure forged by the pavilion lord was auctioned off, it was intercepted by someone on the way. Not only that, all the people who obtained treasures from the auction were robbed at the same time." That immortal emperor spoke. Mo Fei instantly sat up from his chair as his heart turned cold.
As an elder of the Mo Clan, Mo Fei had a peak-stage immortal emperor cultivation base and had experienced many things before. He instantly felt that something was amiss.
His eyes gleamed with a terrifying coldness as he clenched his fists, "Someone is targeting my Emperor Pavilion."
"Grand supervisor, you mean to say that they aren't here for the treasures but for our Emperor Pavilion?" That immortal emperor also had his suspicions.
"Such ruthlessness, capturing all the treasures in one fell swoop. This isn't something an ordinary power can accomplish. One must know that the people who won the auction are all extremely powerful, especially the immortal emperors who obtained the treasure forged by the pavilion lord. All of them were robbed at the same time and were even injured. Clearly, this has been planned for a very long time. Naturally, they are targeting our Emperor Pavilion."
Mo Fei's eyes were extremely cold. "After this news circulates out, I'm afraid many people would be suspicious. All the treasures auctioned by my Emperor Pavilion were stolen. Although no one would be foolish enough to suspect us of this, in the future, no one would dare to come to my Emperor Pavilion for auction."
"Pulling the firewood from under the cauldron." That immortal emperor understood when he heard this. Most probably, the guess of the grand supervisor was right.
"I've long been thinking that since the Emperor Pavilion's development is so good, why would those major powers sit by and watch? Now, they finally came. Not only that, the moment they acted, they were so ruthless, wanting to sever our path of retreat." Mo Fei's eyes flashed with coldness. Mo Junyi asked, "Who do you suspect?"
"Our Emperor Pavilion blocked someone's path. Naturally, it must be one of them." Mo Fei spoke. "Also, only those major powers would have such a grand plan."
"Immediately head to the governor's manor and report this matter. Let the governor's manor investigate this matter. We have to get to the bottom of this." Mo Fei spoke to the immortal emperor in front of him. That immortal emperor nodded and turned about, speeding towards the governor's manor.
After he left, Mo Fei's brows were still tightly furrowed.
"Miss, I'm a little worried." Mo Fei mumbled. Mo Junyi glanced at him and asked, "Worried about what?"
"I'm worried that the governor's manor might have tacitly agreed to this." Mo Fei glanced at Mo Junyi, his words causing Mo Junyi's expression to change. "The governor's manor is responsible for guarding a region. That shouldn't be the case, right?"
"You don't know this, Di Tian has offended Xia Hou before. Although there's nothing we can do about it, Xia Hou is arrogant and tyrannical. It's very possible that he would harbor hatred in his heart. If those major powers continue to sow discord between us, there's a high possibility that Xia Hou would tacitly agree to their actions. If that's the case, the momentum that our Emperor Pavilion built up after so much effort would be directly crushed." One couldn't help but say that Mo Fei's guess was basically correct.
"Since this is the case, we can only wait and see." Mo Junyi spoke.
"Mhm, we can only wait and see the governor's manor's attitude." Mo Fei nodded lightly.
Di Tian soon learned of this news and his mood was extremely unsightly. Just like what Mo Fei had guessed, the other party had planned this meticulously and they basically couldn't find any clues.
Also, the governor's manor sent a message saying that they were currently investigating this matter but there were no results for now.
In the great hall of the Emperor Pavilion, Di Tian sat there. Mo Fei, Mo Junyi and the others were all present.
"How's the Heaven Emperor Pavilion's auction house?" Di Tian asked.
"The number of people has decreased." Mo Fei replied.
"What about the governor's manor? Did the spies sent back any news?"
"Mhm, everything is as usual in the governor's manor. No one captured anyone for questioning and there are only a few spies sent out to investigate." Mo Fei replied. Di Tian fell silent. His fingers drummed on the armrest of the chair beside him as he slowly closed his eyes.
"Does everyone have any good plans?" Di Tian asked. No one replied. After a long time, Mo Fei spoke, "If the governor's manor pretended to be deaf and mute, leaving aside the fact that we wouldn't be able to find out anything, even if we did, it would be useless. The power of the other party is much greater than us."
"Let's leave it at that for now." Di Tian stood up and directly left the great hall. Mo Fei sighed silently in his heart. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, such things were very common. The other party didn't even need to clash head-on with you and they would be able to make you die without a burial ground, causing your many years of hard work to vanish in an instant.
The Emperor Pavilion continued its business as usual. After that, a few more incidents occurred. The people who came to the Emperor Pavilion to trade were all plotted against. In truth, Mo Fei had already sent people to monitor the situation but there were too many people who came to the Emperor Pavilion to trade. Could it be that they could protect everyone? Clearly, this wasn't realistic.
Gradually, some unfavorable rumors about the Emperor Pavilion appeared in Lifire City. The Emperor Pavilion had courted trouble. Regardless if one went to the Emperor Pavilion to trade or auction, it was best to be more careful. Such news was extremely destructive to the Emperor Pavilion, causing the number of people coming to the Emperor Pavilion to dwindle. Once again, a divine weapon personally forged by Di Tian was robbed after it was auctioned. The Emperor Pavilion was instantly plunged into a storm.
If this continued on, even if they knew that Grandmaster Di's divine weapon was very powerful, no one would dare to auction it off.
The number of people in the Emperor Pavilion grew fewer and fewer. If this continued on, the Emperor Pavilion would surely be destroyed.
Today, Di Tian walked out of the Emperor Pavilion. Even Xiao Zhu and Mo Fei had no idea where he went.
In the southern regions of Lifire City, the governor's manor. Today, a special guest came to pay a visit. This person was very famous and many people in Lifire City had heard of his name before. In fact, the southern governor even auctioned off a divine weapon forged by him.
Hence, Beauty Xiao naturally personally received this guest.
In an elegant and fragrant courtyard, the environment was extremely pleasant. Beauty Xiao was dressed even more boldly in her own home. She wore a dress that was as thin as muslin, revealing her devilish figure. Half of her snow-white skin was exposed to the air, causing people to feel like committing a crime.
"Grandmaster Di, why are you so free to come and visit me?" Beauty Xiao smiled charmingly. The two of them sat by the lake with delicacies and wine in the middle. The serving girls were all sent away by Beauty Xiao.
The pavilion by the lake, the fake mountains and peach blossoms, the beauty sitting cross-legged, this scene was extremely alluring. This was especially so when Beauty Xiao's mesmerizing eyes stared at him. Di Tian felt somewhat distracted but he still controlled himself very well. He then spoke, "Recently, I encountered a troublesome matter and wanted to seek Governor Xiao's guidance."
"Oh?" Beauty Xiao smiled. "Grandmaster Di, you can just address me as' Beauty '. I wonder what's the matter?"
Wanting people to address her as' Beauty ', this Beauty Xiao was truly narcissistic enough.
"A few days ago, Governor Xia Hou came to my Emperor Pavilion and told me a piece of news. He said that he recommended me to the Lifire Empyrean. Hence, the Lifire Empyrean asked me a few questions and ordered me to become a subordinate of Governor Xia Hou, immediately closing the Emperor Pavilion. In the future, I can only forge weapons for the governor's manor and I have to offer them to the Lifire Palace." Di Tian slowly spoke. "How can I agree to such a condition? The Emperor Pavilion was developed by me and I'm used to freedom. Hence, I risked offending the Lifire Empyrean and rejected Governor Xia Hou's request."
Beauty Xiao's expression didn't change as she smiled at Di Tian. This caused Di Tian to silently curse that this Beauty Xiao wasn't an ordinary character and was extremely shrewd. There was actually no change in her expression at all.
"Governor Xia Hou immediately spoke ruthlessly, telling me that if I don't obey the Lifire Empyrean's orders, the Emperor Pavilion will close its doors. I, Di, was speechless, I thought that the Lifire Empyrean wouldn't bother with a minor character like me. However, recently, my Emperor Pavilion suffered a destructive blow. Those who went to the Emperor Pavilion to auction off my divine weapons would all suffer a calamity, a few times in a row. Also, those who went to the Emperor Pavilion to trade with me also encountered all sorts of trouble. The governor's manor completely pretended to not know anything. My Emperor Pavilion is a first-tier power and we pay the most tributes yet we are treated like this. I, Di, feel a chill in my heart.
