The matter of the Emperor Pavilion continued to ferment, spreading unceasingly. Now that the three months deadline was approaching, the Emperor Pavilion might very well move away from Lifire City. Many people were extremely unhappy. The strength of a city depended on whether there was an endless supply of fresh blood. If everyone followed Governor Xia Hou's example, who would dare to establish a power in Lifire City in the future?
In addition, Grandmaster Di's capabilities were clear to everyone. Many people were still thinking of auctioning off the treasures Grandmaster Di personally forged. But now, Grandmaster Di was actually forced away by Governor Xia Hou. This was naturally something many people weren't willing to see. Hence, the rumors spread even more ferociously.
However, everything seemed to be irreversible. The three months deadline was approaching and the Emperor Pavilion most probably wouldn't be able to turn the tables. The governor's manor's authority was too great, it was basically impossible to affect them with just public opinion. The arrogant Governor Xia Hou didn't care. In this world where cultivation reigned supreme, as long as you were strong enough, there was no need to care about the opinions of others or the curses of the outside world. He, Xia Hou, was the king of this region.
If Xia Hou wanted the Emperor Pavilion to disappear, the Emperor Pavilion would naturally disappear. Many people who were acquainted with Di Tian even came to the Emperor Pavilion to console him. There were also some major powers who invited Di Tian to be a guest elder. Even if the Emperor Pavilion that he founded couldn't continue to exist, a grandmaster weaponsmith like Di Tian was still extremely popular.
But at this moment, the governor's manor acted. Using iron-blooded methods, they directly captured a group of people. After that, they announced to the central city regions that they had already captured all the people who caused trouble for the Emperor Pavilion and sent them to jail, telling the Emperor Pavilion to open its doors to the outside world. There was no need to worry about people causing trouble.
When the governor's manor released this news, countless people in the central city regions were stunned. This sudden reversal of the situation caused them to have no idea what was going on.
Did the governor's manor compromise?
Amidst all the curses and curses, the governor's manor actually captured the mastermind, allowing the Emperor Pavilion to open its doors to the outside world. What was going on exactly?
Also, the governor's manor was extremely secretive about this matter. They didn't tell anyone who the mastermind was. This point caused many people to speculate. Seems like the waters behind this were extremely deep.
But at least, this matter was temporarily resolved.
The time limit of three months was up and the Emperor Pavilion reconvened. Because of the scandal caused by a single announcement, Grandmaster Di took out three emperor-ranked weapons to be auctioned. This caused the Emperor Pavilion to be filled to the brim with people today. It was unknown how many people came to the Emperor Pavilion, the number was ten times more compared to when the Emperor Pavilion was at its peak. Those who came to the Emperor Pavilion for trading were all extremely happy.
The grand supervisor of the Emperor Pavilion, Mo Fei and Mo Junyi, were extremely busy. The entire Emperor Pavilion was bustling with activity, causing many people to laugh. So it turned out that the governor's manor was intentionally helping the Emperor Pavilion. If Governor Xia Hou heard this, it was unknown if he would cough out blood or not.
Xia Hou's mood wasn't too good. Compared to the flourishing atmosphere of the Emperor Pavilion, the great hall of the governor's manor was extremely quiet. Other than Governor Xia Hou, only the clan leaders of the Yan Clan, Han Clan and Wei Clan were here.
"Governor Xia Hou, didn't you say that Di Tian has offended the Lifire Empyrean? Why are you still capturing our people?" The Han Clan Leader asked, his tone filled with unhappiness. Back then, all of them had sent gifts to Xia Hou and this matter was something that Xia Hou had tacitly agreed to. Now, Xia Hou suddenly wanted to capture several of their immortal emperors? What did this mean?
"That's right, Governor Xia Hou. Back then, it was you who tacitly agreed to this. Aren't you going a little overboard by doing this today?" The people from the Wei Clan were also extremely unhappy. They came here to demand their people back but Xia Hou actually wasn't prepared to hand them over. Hence, their tone naturally changed. Although Xia Hou was a governor and had great authority, they were all aristocratic clans with deep roots. They wouldn't allow Xia Hou to bully them as he wished.
One must know that in the northern city regions, there was a Jialan Clan. Even the Lifire Empyrean couldn't do anything to them, let alone a mere governor. Although they were far from being as powerful as the Jialan Clan, they were still a powerful aristocratic clan. If they joined forces, Xia Hou wouldn't have an easy time.
"When did this governor agree to anything?" Xia Hou's expression turned black. Being questioned like this, his eyes were extremely cold as he swept his gaze over to the three clan leaders.
The three clan heads seemed to have sensed Commander Xia Hou's anger. Their eyes flashed, and when they heard Xia Hou's words, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood. They remembered that Xia Hou had been talking nonsense to them all this time, and indeed, he didn't say a single word clearly. It was only when they left that the deputy commander gave them a hint. But it wasn't Xia Hou who said it, and it was a hint.
"The tone of the three clan leaders is so overbearing. If this seat doesn't release our people today, are you going to act against me?" Xia Hou's expression turned heavy.
"Lord Governor, you misunderstood. We are only anxious." The Han Clan Leader started for a moment before his tone eased a little.
"Governor Xia Hou, the people you captured are all immortal emperors. We naturally hope that they will be safe and sound, but we have no intentions of forcing you." The Wei Clan Leader spoke.
"Hmph." Xia Hou coldly snorted. "Since you guys want an answer so much, this seat will tell you. Because this matter caused such a commotion, the Lifire Empyrean's side is somewhat unhappy and wanted me to shut everyone's mouths. I can only do this. I will naturally think of a way to capture your people but if you guys force me, I might have to investigate all the way to the end."
"This …" The Yan Clan Leader started. This was clearly a threat. The three clan leaders felt somewhat awkward but they still admitted defeat, "Lord Governor, there's no need to be anxious. We naturally know that Lord Governor will settle this matter. Since this is the case, we will hand this matter over to Governor Xia Hou to handle."
Xia Hou didn't say anything. After that, the three clan leaders bid their farewell and departed. After they exited the governor's manor, their expressions instantly turned extremely heavy. Similarly, Xia Hou who was in the governor's manor, his eyes flashed with coldness, feeling extremely unhappy.
How did Di Tian manage to turn the tables exactly?
Why did the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor come down to investigate this matter?
Was it really because of public opinion? Also, why did the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor's questions directly hit the crux of the matter? She asked him if he had followed the Lifire Empyrean's words and promised Di Tian a position equivalent to a governor.
This matter definitely wouldn't happen for no reason.
…
After the Emperor Pavilion reopened, it grew more and more prosperous. It was much more popular compared to before, like it had experienced a rebirth. The three aristocratic clans no longer dared to act recklessly. Right now, they were all at the heart of the storm and the governor's manor kept delaying the release of the captives. How would they dare to cause trouble again? Only until many days later, Governor Xia Hou made a trip to the Lifire Palace to scout the situation and after he returned, he understood that the Lifire Empyrean wouldn't care about this matter anymore. Only then did he secretly release the captives.
This matter didn't attract the attention of anyone. The Emperor Pavilion also didn't publicize this matter, as though it had already forgotten about it. The Emperor Pavilion naturally understood that at this moment, it was best for them to quietly expand their strength.
In addition, after this matter, the Emperor Pavilion expanded once again, recruiting guest elders and even sparing no expense. Di Tian and Mo Fei both believed that as long as they continued to expand, the people they nurtured would definitely be rewarded. To Di Tian, it didn't matter even if he temporarily earned less. What he pursued wasn't just short-term benefits.
Hence, Di Tian once again came to the southern governor's manor to pay a visit to Beauty Xiao. This time around, it was naturally to express his thanks. He didn't believe that the Lifire Empyrean's woman would only appear in his Emperor Pavilion because of the rumors of the outside world. Clearly, Beauty Xiao had helped him in the shadows.
Di Tian was brought to an elegant room. A moment later, an incomparably beautiful figure walked over. It was none other than the southern governor, Beauty Xiao.
At this moment, she was only clad in a bathrobe. The bathrobe wrapped around her body, concealing her figure that would cause one's imagination to run wild. She was barefooted, her beautiful legs were completely exposed to Di Tian. Clearly, she had just finished bathing.
Beauty Xiao who had just finished bathing still exuded a faint fragrance. Her wet hair cascaded down her shoulders, extremely alluring. Di Tian sweated, "Should I leave first?"
"You've already seen me, what's the point of leaving?" Beauty Xiao's beautiful eyes giggled as she stared at Di Tian. "Why? Has the matter with the Emperor Pavilion been resolved?"
"Mhm, I specially came here to thank you." Di Tian nodded.
"Oh, how do you want to thank me? Why don't you help me change?" Beauty Xiao laughed. Di Tian replied, "Beauty Xiao, could it be that you don't know that doing this will cause people to make mistakes?"
"Oh? In that case, I really want to see how you will make mistakes." Beauty Xiao's smile grew even more charming.
"As long as Beauty Xiao doesn't mind, I will definitely profit." Di Tian slowly walked up. Beauty Xiao smiled, "I'll say it again. Take off your mask first and let me take a look. If not, you will see me naked but I don't even know what you look like. Wouldn't that be too disadvantageous?"
"In that case, forget it." Di Tian shook his head. "Beauty, this time around, the Emperor Pavilion's crisis has been resolved. Many thanks. In the future, if you need me to do anything, just directly send a message to me. This is my messaging crystal."
Beauty Xiao smiled. After that, she sent a strand of her immortal sense into it as well as her own messaging crystal, exchanging strands of immortal sense with each other.
"I'll bid my farewell first. If I keep looking at you like this, I might make a mistake." Di Tian laughed. After that, he turned and left, holding the messaging crystal in his hands. The smile on Beauty Xiao's face grew even more charming. She has never met such an interesting person before. What does this fellow look like exactly?
"Qin Wentian of the northern city regions, Di Tian of the central regions. These two people both have the word 'Tian' in their names. How interesting. Before this, I was still very interested in Qin Wentian but now, this fellow is so low-profile that it's terrifying. On the other hand, an interesting person like Di Tian actually appeared in Xia Hou's territory. Seems like things are going to get lively in Lifire City."
Beauty Xiao mumbled to herself, subconsciously comparing Qin Wentian and Di Tian. Di Tian was famous for his combat prowess, he killed his way into the emperor palace of the Jialan Monarch and could even fight against peak-stage immortal emperors.
As for Di Tian, he was famous for his formations and weaponsmithing. He could even forge high-grade emperor-ranked weapons.
Out of these two, who would be more interesting?
