For the next period of time, things were very calm. No one came to look for Di Tian again and the Emperor Pavilion didn't encounter any trouble. Everything slowly returned to the right track.
Today, outside the Jialan Clan, there were endless carriages pulled by powerful servants or terrifying demon kings. Regardless of mid-stage immortal emperors or peak-stage immortal emperors, all of them would descend from the air and walk into the Jialan Clan to show their respect.
Di Tian felt some shock in his heart. There were many major powers here, including some from the central city regions. However, these people didn't even bother to hide their words. From this, one could very well imagine how terrifying the Jialan Clan's influence in the northern city regions was. This simply exceeded his imagination. In that case, the people who came here today should all be supporting the Jialan Clan.
One must know that for a transaction ground to flourish, it had to have a supporting set. Right now, all the transaction pavilions were closed, leaving only the Emperor Pavilion to support it. Instantly, the atmosphere became extremely dull as the number of people gradually decreased.
And just like what Di Tian had expected, several days later, there were people who came to pay a visit, bringing over a gift that Di Tian didn't accept back then. This time around, Di Tian accepted it.
"Di Tian, I'm afraid you must have offended someone." The Mo Clan Leader, Mo Ting, spoke.
"Mhm, I heard that the Jialan Clan is extremely influential in this region. The Lifire Empyrean arranged for Qin Wentian to come here because of this. Governor Qin once had a very deep conflict with the Jialan Monarch." Di Tian nodded and spoke honestly, he didn't intentionally act dumb.
After that, on the second day, the transaction pavilions in this region reopened. There were more people who came here to auction their treasures. After the people in the northern city regions learned of this, they seemed to have understood something and would often come here for a stroll.
"Sir, you are?" Di Tian asked.
Everyone laughed, they weren't angered by Di Tian's words. This was a normal reaction. After all, this matter implicated the Lifire Empyrean and the Jialan Clan. Who would dare to take sides so easily? After all, Di Tian came from the central city regions. His headquarters wasn't here and he wasn't restricted by this region. He naturally hoped that there would be no conflict and not participate in this matter. That was the best choice.
One could only say that these people weren't afraid that Qin Wentian would know their stance. Or to put it more accurately, their stance was already very clear, they clearly supported the Jialan Clan.
The governor's manor handed the Ancient River Auction House to Di Tian to manage. In that case, they would destroy this transaction point completely.
From the outside looking in, one could see numerous pavilions arranged in an orderly fashion, as well as towering ancient palaces. From the outside to the inside, the terrain continued to rise upwards, exuding a majestic and imposing aura. Even the entrance of the Jialan Clan was like an impregnable fortress.
"There's naturally a reason why the Jialan Clan can be so powerful to this extent. This time around, they did this to teach us a lesson and not to completely offend us. In addition, given how vast the transaction market is, there would naturally be a huge number of transactions happening every day. The Jialan Clan would definitely be responsible for the losses. If not, why would those people sacrifice their own benefits to cooperate with the Jialan Clan? If we really destroy this entire region, the Jialan Clan would have to pay a huge price. "Di Tian analyzed. Mo Junyi's beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light as she seriously nodded her head.
Until one day, an invitation was sent to the Emperor Pavilion, inviting him to attend the birthday banquet of a young miss from the Jialan Clan.
From this point, one could very well imagine how powerful the Jialan Clan was.
Di Tian stood in the air outside the Emperor Pavilion, staring at the increasingly deserted transaction market. Many transaction pavilions directly closed their doors. Although they knew that this would cause them great losses, they still seemed to have come to a tacit agreement, causing Di Tian to feel a chill in his heart. The number of people coming here grew fewer and fewer. The number of people in the crowd was decreasing, and when they saw Di Tian in the air, a look of pity flashed in their eyes.
For the next few days, the Emperor Pavilion was still as lively as ever. However, Mo Fei discovered a problem. Many transaction pavilions around the Emperor Pavilion closed their doors one after another, as though they had come to a tacit agreement. As time flowed by, more and more transaction pavilions closed.
Di Tian nodded, "If this is the case, I'm really curious. Please enter."
"Grandmaster Di, let's enter together. The host of the birthday banquet this time around is a famous young miss from the Jialan Clan. Although she rarely shows herself, she is a famous beauty. Grandmaster Di, you will be able to feast your eyes on her." That immortal emperor laughed.
For those who came, if they weren't powerful characters, they were all people with powerful backgrounds. Today, all of them were invited here by the Jialan Clan.
"Yes, the Jialan Clan's prestige in the northern city regions is extremely high. It can be said that they are the backbone of the major powers in the northern city regions and can completely replace the governor's manor. As for Governor Qin, the matter this time around caused all of us to feel panic in our hearts. We don't know what will happen in the future. Hence, we have to be prepared. If Governor Qin treats us well, everything will be fine. But if Governor Qin can't tolerate us, we definitely can't just sit here and wait for death."
Staring at the empty table before him, Di Tian's eyes gleamed with sharpness. The influence of the Jialan Clan was truly terrifying.
…
The two of them entered the Jialan Clan together and handed over their invitation cards. There were serving girls who came to lead the way. Each of the serving girls was dressed elegantly yet didn't lose their sexiness. They were all rare beauties, simply dazzling the eyes of those who saw them.
Di Tian stood outside the Jialan Clan and stared at this majestic place. He had a clearer understanding of how strong the Jialan Clan was. They actually invited so many experts to the birthday banquet of a young miss. Most probably, the Jialan Clan wanted to display their strength to the major powers in the northern city regions. Only by doing so would the other major powers be more loyal to them.
Even when compared to the Lifire Palace, the Jialan Clan wasn't inferior at all!
The opponents of the governor's manor had acted.
Both parties had a tacit understanding and didn't mention anything about what happened during these days. After exchanging some pleasantries, the other party bade farewell and departed.
Di Tian nodded, "Is the influence of the Jialan Clan in the northern city regions really so terrifying?"
Di Tian's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he stared at this person and laughed, "Prepare? What do you mean by that? "
"What should we do?" It was unknown when Mo Junyi appeared beside Di Tian as she asked. The Emperor Pavilion in the central city regions had already stabilized and was flourishing. They came to the northern city regions to expand their business and decided to stay here. Initially, they thought that they would be able to develop very quickly but who would have thought that the Jialan Clan would suddenly give them a head-on blow.
"All of us will bid our farewell as well." Everyone stood up and took their leave. Soon, the lively banquet was only left with the people from the central city. The people from the northern city had all left.
"I understand." Qin Wentian nodded.
Naturally, although this person's words were very direct, he didn't say anything overboard. He only said to prevent Qin Wentian from acting against them. Even if news of this circulated out, Qin Wentian wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
"Grandmaster Di has been in Lifire City for many years. I'm sure you should know some things regarding the situation in the northern city regions, right?" That person asked.
In the vast Lifire City, there was only a single place that could be mentioned in the same breath as the Jialan Clan. That place was none other than the Lifire Palace.
"Their roots are extremely deep. It has been so many years and the Jialan Clan has long established themselves here. There are simply too many powers involved." Mo Ting nodded. "This Qin Wentian is truly audacious, actually using such a tyrannical method to act. I believe that the Jialan Clan would definitely retaliate against him. As for you, although you rejected the Jialan Clan, you don't have any grudges with them. The Jialan Clan might act against you but they wouldn't be too ruthless. You have to be careful."
"Grandmaster Di, long time no see." Someone came over to greet Di Tian upon seeing him. It was none other than the person who attended the banquet back then. A deep smile could be seen in his eyes when he stared at Di Tian. The famous Grandmaster Di of Lifire City had no choice but to lower his head to the Jialan Clan after coming to the northern city regions. Unless you don't want to stay in the northern city regions anymore, the Jialan Clan would definitely make sure you can no longer stay here.
As he spoke, he passed the interspatial ring back to Little Bamboo. Little Bamboo brought it to He Lanchen, but He Lanchen casually smiled and kept it. "Since this is the case, I won't disturb Grandmaster Di any further."
"He Lanchen." That person smiled and nodded. After that, Di Tian's heart was as clear as a mirror. He received the interspatial ring and sent his immortal sense into it to take a look. After that, he spoke, "This gift is too valuable, I, Di, truly don't dare to accept it. I hope Brother Jialan won't blame me."
He followed the serving girl into the inner regions, witnessing how luxurious and powerful the Jialan Clan was. He couldn't help but to compare the Jialan Clan to the Lifire Palace. His original self had been to the Lifire Palace many times before, he naturally understood.
The Jialan Clan was located in the central region of the northern city regions. Their location was even better compared to the governor's manor, and the area they occupied was more than ten times that of the governor's manor. It was like an incomparably majestic city within a city.
However, what made Mo Fei even more shocked was that gradually, the number of people willing to send their treasures to the Emperor Pavilion to be auctioned decreased. They were already unable to support the normal operations of the auction house. If this continued on, unless Di Tian brought out his own treasures to be auctioned daily, the auction house would surely close down.
"The implications of this matter are too great. I came here from the central city regions and I'm sure everyone knows that I'm here for the sake of the Emperor Pavilion's operations. I'm not willing to be embroiled in this storm. After all, I also know that this matter doesn't merely concern the governor's manor, it concerns the upper echelons as well. If Governor Qin wants to collect tributes, I'll naturally pay them as well. I'm sure the governor's manor wouldn't do anything to me." Di Tian calmly replied.
"Grandmaster Di, we understand your intentions. This is a small token of my appreciation, I hope Grandmaster Di will kindly accept it." A figure stood up and took out an interspatial ring. Little Bamboo, who was beside Di Tian, received it and passed it to Di Tian.
"Just wait, there will naturally be people coming to look for us." Di Tian calmly spoke. A strange look flashed through the beautiful Mo Junyi's eyes as she asked, "How do you know?"
Borrowing the commotion caused by the governor's manor raiding the Ancient River Auction House, the popularity of the Emperor Pavilion was already at the peak. But in just a short span of a month, the popularity of the Emperor Pavilion plummeted to the freezing point. They naturally knew the reason, everyone in the northern city regions knew.
"Long time no see." Di Tian laughed.
