"Many thanks, Palace Lord." Di Tian clasped his hands to the Lifire Empyrean, laughing silently in his heart. The Lifire Empyrean and his original self, Qin Wentian, had a grudge because of Ye Qianyu. He would naturally be on guard against Qin Wentian but towards him, the Lifire Empyrean would definitely pull him back from the Jialan Clan.
"Seniors, you two are too serious." Qin Wentian had a sincere smile on his face. He didn't expect that he would meet someone from the Battle Saint Tribe here.
"Ancient Emperor?" The two palace lords started. They exchanged mutual glances and laughed involuntarily, "Maybe it's because of the time difference. Right now, do you guys refer to him as Ancient Emperor Yi?"
Di Tian originally had the identity of an unaffiliated cultivator. But because he was already appointed as the supervisory commander of the Lifire Palace by the Realmlord, he could be considered an official of the Lifelong Realm. Since the Lifire Empyrean personally invited him, Di Tian naturally wouldn't reject. The people of the Jialan Clan glanced at Di Tian with some worry in their hearts, worried that the friendship they spent so much effort to establish with Di Tian would be destroyed by the Lifire Empyrean. Before they left, Jialan Qiuyue stared at Di Tian with a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
"Palace lords, how are you related to Ancient Emperor Yi?" Qin Wentian asked. He stared at the two before him. Could it be that one of them was Ancient Emperor Yi?
Everything pointed to a single place, the Battle Saint Tribe.
"I'm asking about your roots." That palace lord continued. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a strange light but he quickly concealed it, "Junior doesn't understand what Palace Lord White means by this."
"Mhm." The two palace lords nodded. After that, the two serving girls retreated. One of the palace lords waved her hand as a formless energy enveloped this courtyard, isolating it from the probing of immortal senses.
The Gemini Palace Lord smiled and nodded, "However, the rumors outside are all mixed. Ancient Emperor Yi might not be a good friend of the Lifelong Realmlord. Oh right, I saw that the palm imprint Di Tian used also contained a trace of the intent of God's Hand but I don't dare to confirm if that was the manifestation of God's Hand.
Qin Wentian abruptly stood up as a flash of lightning flashed in his eyes. Their surname was Qi. This surname wasn't strange at all. But if one connected Ancient Emperor Yi and God's Hand with this surname, there would be a deeper meaning to it.
"In that case, you are indeed the successor of Ancient Emperor Yi?" The two palace lords asked.
"This is what I should do." Qin Wentian was still humble.
Ancient Emperor Yi of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?
"I'm from the Gemini Temple, and I'm the Palace Master's maid. My Palace Master has invited you over." The maid smiled, her words causing Qin Wentian to be even more puzzled. He stared at her and asked, "Gemini Palace Lord, what did you invite me for?"
"I've been to a place with three bronze gates. I went in." Qin Wentian still didn't dare to reveal it easily. He was still a little alert, but his words had already hinted very clearly.
"Governor Qin, please." The Immortal Emperor maidservant smiled and gestured. After that, the two of them walked forward and arrived at the Gemini Palace within the Longevity Hall.
Surnamed Qi, God's Hand, Ancient Emperor Yi.
"Ancient Emperor Yi?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed as he asked.
The two palace lords continued to place their chess pieces. After some time, one of them asked, "Qin Wentian, where did you come from?"
Qin Wentian started. He stared at the other party and replied, "Junior comes from Lifire City."
"Have you heard of Ancient Emperor Yi?" The two palace lords of the Gemini Palace put down their chess pieces and turned their gazes to Qin Wentian. At this moment, Qin Wentian only felt a huge pressure bearing down on him. At the same time, his heart pounded violently as he stared in shock at the two palace lords.
Qin Wentian initially wanted to look for Ye Qianyu. However, Ye Qianyu had already left with the people from the Red Dust Immortal Palace. They still needed to wait for the Realmlord to deal with them. Although the Realmlord spared Ye Qianyu from jail, she was forced to become a servant in the Lifelong Saint Hall. As for the fact that there were bandits in the Red Dust Immortal Palace, they naturally had to give the Realmlord an explanation.
"Mhm, I heard that the two of you are subordinates of a world overlord. It's rumored that he is a friend of the Lifelong Realmlord. In that case, Senior Ancient Emperor Yi must be that Realmlord?" Qin Wentian asked.
However, he had no other choice. The Gemini Palace Lord had already given the order. He could only speak to Di Tian, "Grandmaster Di, I, Xia Hou, have offended you in the past. If there's a chance, I, Xia Hou, will definitely hold a banquet to apologize. I hope that Grandmaster Di can forgive me."
"Right. Fairy, please lead the way." Qin Wentian nodded.
"In that case, should the two of us pay our respects to the Saint Lord?" The two of them exchanged glances and smiled. At the same time, they stared at Qin Wentian, causing great waves of shock to rise in Qin Wentian's heart.
"Our surnames are Qi." The two of them spoke at the same time.
"Have you heard of the two of us?" The Gemini Palace Lord asked.
Lifelong City arranged lodgings for the nine world palace lords and their subordinates. Every hundred years, the nine world palace lords would stay in the same location. The various governors and monarchs would naturally stay together with their world palace lords. As for the people from the other major and minor powers, they could only head to Lifelong City to look for inns or hotels to stay in.
"The Lifelong Realm is boundlessly vast, there are many experts with authority. The nine world palaces have their own territories. All of you came from my Lifire City. In the future, no matter where you go, my Lifire Palace will always be your backing." The Lifire Empyrean spoke. "It's the same for the others as well. All of you have the imprint of Lifire City on you."
Ancient Emperor Yi, they actually asked him if he had heard of Ancient Emperor Yi before.
"Governor Qin." This maiden smiled as she called out to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian asked in puzzlement, "Fairy, you are?"
"Di Tian, I've heard of the matters in the past. Xia Hou acted on his own and made things difficult for your Emperor Pavilion. After that, I sent Violet Moon to the central regions to settle this matter. Violet Moon should have gone to the Emperor Pavilion before, right?" The Lifire Empyrean asked Di Tian. Di Tian glanced at Violet Moon who was beside the Lifire Empyrean and smiled as he nodded, "Mhm, thank you palace lord for interfering in this matter."
Qin Wentian started as well. That's right, in this era, they naturally referred to him as Ancient Emperor Yi. But what if this Gemini Palace Lord was someone from the same era as Ancient Emperor Yi? It would be impossible for him to refer to himself as Ancient Emperor Yi.
As he spoke, he quickened his pace and departed. The Jialan Monarch's expression froze. He stared at the back view of Qin Wentian as his expression grew extremely ugly. This was a blatant threat to him.
"Since palace lord has already spoken, I naturally won't be calculative with you. As for the banquet, let's forget about it." Di Tian calmly spoke, not giving any face to Xia Hou at all. Right now, he also didn't need to give face to Xia Hou. The Lifelong Realmlord had personally appointed him as the supervisory commander and he had the authority to do so. Only the governors and monarchs would beg him for help, he didn't need to submit to any of them. Even the Lifire Empyrean wouldn't be able to control him.
After the banquet, the music would eventually come to an end.
"This is what I should do. Xia Hou, in the future, you and Di Tian will be comrades. Apologize for what happened in the past." The Lifire Empyrean instructed. Xia Hou's expression froze. Before this, he had already submitted to Qin Wentian. Now, he was ordered to apologize to Di Tian again. This could be considered a complete loss of face.
"Maybe the Lifire Empyrean admires Governor Qin because of your outstanding talent. In any case, my Lifire Empyrean naturally wouldn't harm Governor Qin." The serving girl smiled. Qin Wentian nodded. This place was the Lifelong Saint Hall. No matter what, there was no harm in making a trip there.
"How did you all know?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Sit." The two palace lords of the Gemini Palace were still playing chess, but they spoke to Qin Wentian.
Some things should be stopped when the time is right. The Lifire Empyrean naturally wouldn't lower his status too much. After exchanging some pleasantries with Di Tian and Qin Wentian, he allowed everyone to depart.
When they exited, Qin Wentian intentionally walked together with the Jialan Monarch. He spoke in a low voice, "Jialan Monarch, you have to be more careful in the future."
Qin Wentian walked up and came to the side of the chessboard. He glanced at it and saw that both sides were evenly matched. After that, he sat down quietly and didn't interrupt.
"Mhm, junior was fortunate enough to cultivate God's Hand and entered the Battle Saint Tribe. I'm the Saint Lord of this generation of the Battle Saint Tribe." Qin Wentian spoke. He then continued, "Where is senior Ancient Emperor Yi?"
"Palace Lord is too serious." Di Tian calmly replied, neither servile nor overbearing.
Xia Hou was extremely arrogant. This point could be seen from his domineering attitude towards Di Tian back then. But now, the two people he offended back then, he couldn't afford to offend either of them. Both of them had to apologize. From this, one could very well imagine how uncomfortable he felt in his heart.
In a courtyard, in a pavilion under the moonlight, two figures were currently playing chess. Other than them, there was also a beautiful immortal-emperor serving girl. Upon seeing Qin Wentian walking over, that serving girl smiled, "Palace Lord, Governor Qin has arrived. We will take our leave first."
Xia Hou's expression stiffened. The Lifire Empyrean acted like he didn't understand Di Tian's words. He calmly nodded, "Di Tian, in the future when your Emperor Pavilion expands in Lifire City. If you need anything, just come to the Lifire Palace directly to look for me. I will naturally protect you."
The world palace lords of the nine world palaces still had matters to handle and naturally had to stay in the Lifelong Saint Hall. They still needed to hand over the tributes for the past hundred years.
"That final giant palm imprint, was it a manifestation of God's Hand?" A world palace lord asked. At this moment, Qin Wentian no longer had any doubts. Seems like the two world palace lords have already seen through it.
In the great hall, the Lifire Empyrean sat on the main seat. He swept his gaze over everyone before smiling at Di Tian and Qin Wentian, "In the battle today, Governor Di and Qin Wentian, the two of you have displayed your brilliance and brought glory to our Lifire City. As the palace lord, I also feel that I've gained a lot of face."
"Yes, Palace Lord." Everyone nodded. This Lifire Empyrean was trying to win over the hearts of the people. However, what he said was also the truth. There would definitely be countless connections between the various powers. In the future, even if they took up a position in the Lifelong Saint Hall, they would still have the mark of the Lifire Palace on them. Unless one day, they became the trusted aides of the Realmlord. Only then would they be able to completely discard the mark of the past.
The Lifelong Saint Hall was very vast. Each of the nine world palaces had their own residences here. That night, the Lifire Empyrean ordered the governors and monarchs of Lifire City to give a speech and even invited Di Tian.
