Jialan Yuntian naturally knew who Jialan Qiuyue was referring to. In truth, they brought Ye Qianyu here from the Lifire Palace precisely because of that person. Although the Lifire Palace wanted to conceal the news of Ye Qianyu, it was impossible to do so. After these people returned to Lifire City, the news would surely be circulated to that person's ears.
Jialan Yuntian naturally knew how strong that person who was stopped by Lifire City was. He was only at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm, yet he managed to kill so many immortal emperors at the Ancient River Auction House, including several peak-stage immortal emperors. This caused a huge commotion in Lifire City, exuding boundless magnificence. Given his talent, even in such a battlefield, he should still be able to fight.
Jialan Yuntian couldn't help but to compare Di Tian with that governor. Di Tian was a peak-stage weaponsmith grandmaster, his combat prowess was also at the peak. It seemed that he was even more outstanding compared to that governor.
"Even that person wouldn't be able to do this. Back then at the Ancient River Auction House, even if there were peak-stage immortal emperors among them, they were still ordinary ones. What sort of existences are these people? They are all supreme emperors from the nine world palaces, each of them has peak-stage combat prowess. Xia Hou is the central governor, how strong is he? However, in that battle, he only managed to obtain the fifth ranking. From this, one can very well imagine how terrifying this battlefield is. "
Jialan Yuntian spoke in a low voice. The battle between the nine world palaces was much more intense compared to the martial competition earlier. All of them were elites.
"Big brother, who are you guys talking about?" Jialan Yunhai who was at the side laughed.
"A governor under the Lifire Empyrean. He captured the daughter of the Night Empyrean and imprisoned her in the Lifire Jail because he wanted to control that governor to deal with us. This time around, we brought Ye Qianyu to Lifelong City because we want to create a rift between them." Jialan Yuntian transmitted his voice over.
"So it's because of a governor. Is he really so powerful?" Jialan Yunhai curiously asked. Lifire City already had a Grandmaster Di, how could a governor be so powerful as well?
"Very powerful. He is also a mid-stage immortal emperor and killed over ten immortal emperors in a single battle. All of them were mid-stage or peak-stage immortal emperors. As for how strong he is exactly, we have no idea. He basically didn't unleash his true strength."
"Interesting." Jialan Yunhai laughed, "In the competition between the nine world palaces, which world palace do you think will have the best ranking?"
"If there are no unexpected accidents, the Desolate Heaven Palace's overall ranking should be the best. After all, they have been the best for three hundred years now." Jialan Yuntian spoke in a low voice.
"That's right. The Desolate Heaven Palace is simply too powerful. It's one thing for the Palace Lord to be powerful, but he's also extremely strict with his subordinates. The people he selects to be commanders and Emperors have to be the strongest in terms of combat power. He personally selects them, and if someone stronger than them appears, they can replace them at any time. Under such competition, the commanders and Emperors under him are all the strongest."
"However, that disciple of the Realmlord seems to be unwilling to accept this. This time around, he came prepared and seems to be targeting the Desolate Heaven Palace." Jialan Yunhai laughed.
"The Skyair Palace's performance this time around is truly eye-catching. The Xuanyuan Palace isn't weak either."
"The Gemini Palace and Dragonsaddle Palace aren't here to play around. Look at the commanders and monarchs they sent out, all of them are very powerful. Seems like the Lifire Palace, Kanwater Palace and Gengmetal Palace are going to be ranked last again." Jialan Yuntian laughed. The foundations of these three world palaces had always been the weakest. The positions of their palace lords weren't that stable.
Their Jialan Clan has always been eyeing the position of the Lifire Empyrean. However, they didn't even dare to think about the Desolate Heaven Palace and Skyair Palace. Even for the Dragonsaddle Palace, Gemini Palace and Scarlet Origin Palace, they didn't dare to think about it.
…
The battles continued, round after round, extremely intense.
For the competition between the nine world palaces, each world palace would choose fourteen people to participate. Without exception, all of them were governors and monarchs. Hence, there were a total of fourteen rounds of battles.
When the battles reached the ninth round, the Desolate Heaven Palace had already obtained three first rankers, two second rankers, one third ranker, one fourth ranker and one fifth ranker. Such a terrifying ranking undoubtedly indicated that the Desolate Heaven Palace was the strongest among the nine world palaces. Next was the Skyair Palace, followed by the Xuanyuan Palace, Gemini Palace and Dragonsaddle Palace.
The Skyair Palace obtained two first rankers, the Xuanyuan Palace, Gemini Palace and Dragonsaddle Palace each obtained one. The other four world palaces didn't manage to obtain a single first ranker. For the ninth round of battles, it seemed that they still didn't have much hope.
The Lifire Empyrean's expression was extremely heavy and unsightly to behold. Although he knew that the situation wasn't optimistic for the nine world palaces, he didn't expect it to be so miserable. In such a situation, with the Realmlord watching from above, how could he smile? He could only maintain a heavy expression.
In addition, Di Tian's dazzling performance earlier, obtaining the first ranker with a mid-stage immortal emperor cultivation. It would be strange if the Lifire Empyrean was in a good mood.
"Zhuge Xiong, go out for the next battle and see if you can obtain the first ranker." The Lifire Empyrean spoke in a low voice to the grand governor beside him. As the grand governor of the Lifire City, Zhuge Xiong's strength was naturally extremely powerful.
"Your subordinate will definitely do his best." Zhuge Xiong replied.
The Lifire Empyrean nodded, glancing at the Realmlord. The Realmlord's expression didn't change at all. He still had a faint smile on his face as he watched the battles of his subordinates. The battle between the nine world palaces could be considered a military parade for the Lifelong Realm. It was much more important compared to the martial competition earlier. These people were all his subordinates. The nine world palaces of the Lifelong Realm and their subordinates were all his subordinates.
For the ninth round of battles, the first ranker was the Gemini Palace. The governor that walked out from the Gemini Palace was extremely powerful. Right now, the Gemini Palace obtained two first rankers, equal to the Skyair Palace. This caused many to feel surprised.
After nine people came down, another nine went up. For the Lifire Empyrean's side, Zhuge Xiong stepped out.
The reason why the Lifire Empyrean arranged for Zhuge Xiong to fight at the end was because he wanted to catch his opponents off guard. The other world palaces were all doing their best to obtain the first ranker. For the tenth round, the characters they sent out should be weaker. However, he actually sent out his most powerful grand governor.
But as the battles erupted, the Lifire Empyrean's expression swiftly changed. Evidently, for the other four world palaces that didn't obtain the first ranker, three of them sent out powerful characters with the same thoughts, wanting to obtain the first ranker. Finally, Zhuge Xiong was defeated by a supreme immortal emperor from the Scarlet Origin Palace. That immortal emperor was extremely powerful, he was the strongest character in the Scarlet Origin Palace.
And as expected, the first ranker of the tenth round was obtained by the Scarlet Origin Palace.
Right now, only the Lifire Palace, Kanwater Palace and Gengmetal Palace were left. The expressions of the three palace lords were all extremely unsightly. There were a total of four rounds of battles left. If they couldn't obtain the first ranker in the fourteen rounds, it would be extremely embarrassing no matter how they looked at it. As long as they obtained the first ranker, they would be able to maintain some face.
Zhuge Xiong walked down the platform and came to the side of the Lifire Empyrean. He bowed, "Your subordinate has failed palace lord's expectations."
The Lifire Empyrean waved his hands, "You can't be blamed. Just sit down."
Zhuge Xiong nodded but he still felt somewhat dispirited. He was actually defeated. This time around, he was aiming for the first ranker.
"Palace lord." The two beauties beside the Lifire Empyrean, the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor, also stared at him with a frown. From now on, it would be extremely difficult for the Lifire Palace to obtain the first ranker.
"Yin Qiu, you can go." The Lifire Empyrean waved his hand. For the eleventh round, Yin Qiu only obtained the sixth rank, a very poor ranking. As for the first ranker, it was already taken by the Kanwater Palace. The Lifire Empyrean glanced at the Kanwater Palace Lord. The gloominess on the Kanwater Empyrean's face instantly vanished as a radiant smile appeared on his face. He was currently happily welcoming his subordinates back in victory. They finally obtained the first ranker.
The expressions of the Lifire Empyrean and Gengmetal Empyrean grew increasingly unsightly. Only their two world palaces remained.
The twelfth and thirteenth round of battles continued. The Lifire Empyrean sent out two powerful monarchs but without exception, both of them returned in defeat. What made the Lifire Empyrean even more embarrassed was that in the thirteenth round, the Gengmetal Palace obtained the first ranker. Right now, among the nine world palaces, only his Lifire Palace didn't obtain the first ranker.
As for the final round, as the climax of the grand show, those powerful world palaces would definitely fight for it. Hence, they would definitely send out a powerful character to battle. Even the Lifire Empyrean himself understood that the Lifire Palace had no hope at all.
The Lifire Empyrean could already sense that many people were looking at him with pity in their eyes, as well as a few hints of mockery. This was especially so for those world palace lords, they didn't even bother to mask the mockery in their eyes.
"Ye Kong, do your best to win this battle." The Skyair Empyrean calmly spoke. "You only have a few opponents. After all, some of them are just here to make up the numbers."
As the sound of his voice faded, the Lifire Empyrean's expression grew even uglier to the extreme. But facing the Skyair Empyrean, he had no way to retort.
"Ye Kong is going to fight. A hundred years ago, he was already an extremely dazzling character. The Lifire Palace is truly just here to make up the numbers." A peak power spoke in a low voice.
"I remember that in the previous batch, the Lifire Palace didn't manage to obtain the first ranker. Who would have thought that it would be the same this time around." Jialan Jiangshan from the Jialan Clan mocked. The Lifire Empyrean's eyes turned sinister.
In the direction of the nine world palaces, numerous figures flew towards the central platform. These figures all exuded a transcendent aura. Not only did the Skyair Empyrean send out Ye Kong, the Desolate Heaven Palace and Xuanyuan Palace also sent out their peak characters. The Lifire Empyrean glanced at Beauty Xiao who hasn't fought yet. He sighed helplessly in his heart as he spoke in a low voice, "Beauty Xiao, go ahead."
"Yes, palace lord." Beauty Xiao bowed slightly as she smiled. She didn't really care about making up the numbers. Being able to fight against the peak characters of the nine world palaces was also a form of experience.
Many people glanced at Beauty Xiao. Someone laughed, "Is the Lifire Empyrean planning to use a honey trap to get the first ranker?"
"Haha." Many people laughed, their gazes roaming up and down Beauty Xiao's alluring figure. Beauty Xiao's expression also changed. She snorted lightly but didn't say anything and continued moving forward.
"Beauty Xiao, wait a minute." At this moment, a voice rang out, causing Beauty Xiao to pause in her steps. Her beautiful eyes turned over and stared at the person who spoke. After that, her beautiful eyes flashed with an extremely mesmerizing light.
