This space instantly became empty, and those experts all retreated far away, freeing up the battlefield.
Many immortal emperors and immortal kings erupted forth with might, suppressing everything. The army of the governor's manor was obstructed by the other major powers, unable to advance. The Evil Emperor and Xu Li roared as they charged forward.
Qin Wentian floated in the air, the light radiating from him grew increasingly resplendent. Has he gone mad?
Since he acted today, he wouldn't fail.
During the fifty years he was in charge, other than killing the three vice governors, he had never acted in Lifire City before. He had always been in seclusion or cultivating outside, even going to many mines to mine. Up until today, his cultivation base had already broken through to the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm. Those powers in the northern city regions who had connections with the Jialan Clan all looked down on his existence. In that case, it was time for him to settle the debt of fifty years.
A blinding light illuminated the area. Many people couldn't even open their eyes. The experts from the Ancient River Auction House, Crimson Moon Pavilion and Sky Incense Sect who participated in this battle only felt the intense light shooting towards them. They seemed to have become independent entities, isolated within a special domain of light.
A mid-stage immortal emperor from the Ancient River Auction House radiated terrifying emperor light as law energy danced wildly around him. However, he still involuntarily lifted his palms, wanting to block his eyes. The intense beam of light shot over, penetrating through his law energy and piercing into his body. The light radiating from him grew brighter and brighter. After that, his body gradually transformed into light, wanting to fuse as one with the light.
"NO!" He roared in rage. How can this be? How difficult was it for him to reach the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm? How many experiences did he have to go through before he could reach his current status? Was he going to be killed by a beam of light now? He was filled with reluctance.
However, as the light passed through him, his body seemed to have become a part of the light and completely disappeared. He was like a dot of light that disappeared without a trace.
Not only for him, for mid-stage and initial-stage immortal emperors, as long as they were hit by this beam of light, it was useless no matter how they tried to resist. All of their bodies vanished, becoming a part of the light. As for the spectators who were watching from afar, they felt that they couldn't see anything clearly.
The light was too bright, so bright that they could only see a patch of light. They couldn't see anyone, but they could hear voices coming from within the light. Every voice was filled with grief, indignation, and despair, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
The intense light finally dissipated. When everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky again, they felt their souls trembling. In an instant, their bodies were drenched in cold sweat. Looking at the handsome figure floating in the air, they all felt a heartfelt sense of awe.
A cowardly and useless governor who hid in the governor's manor, not daring to step out?
A commander who did not dare to collect tribute and was afraid of being assassinated?
Just a single beam of light was sufficient to destroy everything. The Ancient River Auction House, the Crimson Moon Pavilion, the Sky Incense Sect, as well as a few other powers who participated in this battle, blocking the path of the governor's army. There were many immortal emperors, over twenty of them. But right now, before Qin Wentian, only a few immortal emperors remained. All of them were peak-stage immortal emperors and they had already retreated very far away.
For those mid-stage and initial-stage immortal emperors below the peak-stage, they had all disappeared. The screams of agony and misery from the earlier beam of light still echoed in their ears. Clearly, they had all died within the light.
Those peak-stage immortal emperors who were still alive were all panting, staring fixedly at Qin Wentian. Terror could be seen in their eyes. How could this be possible? How could Qin Wentian be so powerful to such an extent? Just a single beam of light was enough to kill a group of immortal emperors. This was simply too terrifying. Didn't this mean that before him, even if there were immortal emperors attacking in groups, it would all be useless?
As for the army of the governor's manor below, when they stared at Qin Wentian, it was as though they were looking at a divinity. This was their lord governor, a god-like existence. Three months after he took office, he domineeringly killed three of his vice governors, surviving the Soul Slaying Formation. Now, with just a beam of light, he was able to kill so many immortal emperors. How imposing was this?
Weren't these people from the major powers very arrogant? They looked down on their governor's manor and actually dared to declare war against them. In the past, they also made things difficult for them. Now, they could finally hold their heads up high.
From afar, the managers of the transaction pavilions who had the support of the Ancient River Auction House were all so frightened that their countenances drastically changed. Sweat unceasingly flowed down their foreheads as they felt unease in their hearts. Before this, they had even mocked Qin Wentian. When they thought of this, they only felt their hearts burning with fear.
This time around, something major was going to happen.
Under the alliance of the major powers, even the governor's manor dared to declare war against them. It wasn't that they had never done such a thing before. The previous governors of the northern city regions had never been able to truly rise to power. However, today, they seemed to have realized that things were different. In the northern city regions, other than an existence whose cultivation base wasn't high but whose combat prowess was terrifying, there was no one else in the northern city regions.
Today, when he led his troops to deal with the Ancient River Auction House, he had already thought of all obstacles. He had already considered the possibility of other powers acting together to declare war against his governor's manor. In fact, he had even considered the possibility of these people taking the opportunity to kill him.
But so what of it? When he had absolute strength, all schemes and schemes would have to bow their heads before absolute strength.
Qin Wentian who had broken through to the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm undoubtedly had absolute strength. He could ignore the schemes of many major powers, as well as the encirclement of immortal emperors. For those who obstructed him, he would kill them.
"Qin Wentian, as the governor of the northern city regions, is this how you treat the major powers of the northern city regions?" The voice of the old man from the Ancient River Auction House was no longer as domineering and confident as before. There was even a slight tremor in his voice.
"There's no need to put a hat on this seat's head. Do you still know that this seat is the governor of the northern city regions? During these years, who has ever respected me, the governor? How did you all treat the people of my governor's manor? Making things difficult for me when collecting the tributes, even scheming to create trouble, using this as an excuse to refuse to pay the tributes. Just earlier, didn't you all want to declare war against my governor's manor, wanting to kill this seat? But now, why are you all acting like you are being bullied by this seat? "
Qin Wentian's voice was incomparably domineering. His gaze swept through the air, "Before this seat has already given the order. Whoever dares to do things in the governor's manor, they will be killed without mercy. Right now, the Ancient River Auction House refused to accept punishment, the Crimson Moon Pavilion and Sky Incense Sect have not paid any tributes for tens of years and even joined forces with the Ancient River Auction House to oppose the governor's manor. Their crimes are unpardonable. From this instant onwards, all the businesses of the Crimson Moon Pavilion and Sky Incense Sect in the northern city regions will be confiscated by the governor's manor.
As the sound of his voice faded, the hearts of countless people trembled violently. This was too crazy. This time around, not only the Ancient River Auction House, even the Crimson Moon Pavilion and Sky Incense Sect were implicated. All their businesses would be confiscated. This time around, the governor's manor wanted to use the Ancient River Auction House to establish their might. These two major powers were implicated and became the targets of the governor's manor.
"Yes, governor." The people of the governor's manor replied.
"Xu Li." Qin Wentian called out.
"Here." Xu Li replied.
"Other than these three major powers, there are a few other immortal emperors who participated in this earlier. Do you recognize them?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Yes." Xu Li nodded.
"Good. Since they obstructed the governor's manor from doing things, we will confiscate their businesses. Bring your men over now. For those who dare to obstruct us, kill them without mercy." Qin Wentian commanded.
"Yes." Xu Li nodded. "Follow me."
The governor's manor still had three vice governors. Each of them was in charge of a thousand people. In an instant, Xu Li's subordinates all stepped out and followed after him.
"Evil Emperor." Qin Wentian spoke again.
"Here." The Evil Emperor replied.
"Bring a thousand men to confiscate the businesses of the Crimson Moon Pavilion and Sky Incense Sect. If the other party has too many experts and dares to resist, just temporarily delay them and wait for me to arrive." Qin Wentian continued.
"Right." The Evil Emperor nodded. With a wave of his hand, another thousand men stepped out and followed him, slaughtering their way towards the businesses of the Crimson Moon Pavilion and Sky Incense Sect.
"Qin Wentian, don't go too overboard." The pavilion lord of the Crimson Moon Pavilion finally started to panic. His Crimson Moon Pavilion was a first-tier power and was extremely powerful. Once the Evil Emperor went to confiscate their businesses, they would definitely have to resist. But given how ruthless Qin Wentian was right now, as long as they resisted, it would be equivalent to publicly opposing the governor's manor.
"Overboard?" Qin Wentian laughed. "Earlier, why did your killing intent towards me disappear?"
"Let's go." The Crimson Moon Pavilion Lord spoke. The Sky Incense Sect Lord nodded. They retreated, actually wanting to leave. When facing against a mid-stage immortal emperor like Qin Wentian, they didn't dare to fight against several peak-stage immortal emperors.
Qin Wentian's combat prowess was too terrifying. Although it was just a single strike earlier, it still left an unforgettable impression in their hearts. Such strength made even peak-stage immortal emperors like them not dare to resist. There was no way for them to win.
"Since we've already started a war with the governor's manor, can we still leave now?" Qin Wentian laughed. The hearts of everyone trembled. Qin Wentian wanted all these peak-stage immortal emperors to stay behind.
Several experts stepped out, soaring through the air. However, they only saw Qin Wentian's eyes turning incomparably terrifying. A pair of demonic eyes floated in the air, staring downwards. With just a single glance, the space around them changed. The Crimson Moon Pavilion Lord and the other peak-stage immortal emperors directly entered the eye technique world, the illusory space Qin Wentian was in.
"I've said it before. Since the war has already started, all of you can stay behind." Qin Wentian's voice seemed to originate from the void. After that, he appeared in front of everyone. He was clad in white and had his hands clasped behind his back, exuding magnificence through the generations. Although his cultivation base was only at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm, he gave the peak-stage immortal emperors a feeling of invincibility.
As the sound of his voice faded, the power of light illuminated everything, blinding the eyes of everyone. Within the boundless light, a terrifying destructive might was contained within. Qin Wentian punched out, transforming into a divine fist of light that directly blasted towards the old man from the Tianhe Auction House. The old man frenziedly defended, yet the divine fist of light seemed to be able to penetrate through everything. An instant later, a hole appeared in the chest of the old man, penetrated by the power of light.
The old man lowered his head, staring at the hole in his chest. His eyes were filled with boundless despair!
