Zhuge Xiong and the others understood that Xia Hou was the mastermind behind this. The others naturally knew this as well. In addition, other than Governor Xia Hou, there might be a few other major powers involved in this matter.
Hence, many people narrowed their eyes. For a period of time, the lively banquet turned silent. If they spoke now, it would be easy for them to offend others. Although they didn't know who exactly they would offend, they knew that it was definitely not an ordinary character.
When Di Tian saw this scene, he played around with the wine cup in his hand as he smiled, "It's fine if everyone doesn't want to express their opinions. We can't leave the debt of the past unresolved. The Emperor Pavilion will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. It's just that right now, our Emperor Pavilion is still developing and our strength is still a little weak. Hence, we might need to borrow some strength. Is there anyone who is willing to support my Emperor Pavilion?"
"They want to form an alliance." Many people sighed in their hearts. To many people, this was an opportunity. As long as they nodded, although they might offend others, they would gain the friendship of the Emperor Pavilion. Now, it all depended on how they would choose.
"My Mo Clan will naturally do our best to support the Emperor Pavilion. Back then, our Mo Clan was also involved in this matter and we are extremely angry. Now that Grandmaster Di wants to investigate, I, Mo Ting, will naturally support you." The clan leader of the Mo Clan, Mo Ting, directly expressed his stance.
"If Grandmaster Di has any needs, my Jialan Clan is also willing to provide some help." Jialan Qiuyue's father, Jialan Cheng, spoke. Their Jialan Clan definitely had to maintain a good relationship with Di Tian. Di Tian might be a crucial character for their Jialan Clan to deal with the Lifire Empyrean.
"I'm also willing to do my best to help." Another person spoke. This person was from a major power. After that, more and more people expressed their stance. Even for those spectators, when they saw so many major powers expressing their stance, they couldn't help but to speak as well. Almost half of the people here directly expressed their willingness to support Di Tian.
Staring at everyone, a smile appeared in Di Tian's eyes. After that, he turned to Zhuge Xiong and the other governors as he spoke, "Grand Governor Zhuge, I'm sure you also know that this matter implicates our governor's manor. Hence, we might need your help. I wonder what the governors think?"
Zhuge Xiong stared at Di Tian's dark eyes as his heart trembled. Honestly speaking, although he was a grand governor, Di Tian didn't need to care about him at all.
Di Tian had already expressed his stance. He would definitely investigate this matter no matter what. Right now, he was asking for their opinions because he wanted them to choose a side. Would they stand on his side, or would they stand with Xia Hou?
If it was just Di Tian and Xia Hou, it would still be easy to choose. But the most crucial thing was that the Lifire Empyrean was here as well.
Although the Lifire Empyrean didn't say it clearly, he already made Xia Hou apologize in the Lifelong Saint Hall. Evidently, he hoped that the matter back then would be forgotten. Right now, Di Tian seemed to be unwilling and wanted to investigate this matter no matter what.
"Governor Di, I agree with this matter. It's just that Xia Hou is after all the governor of Lifire City. I wonder what the Lifire Empyrean's attitude would be. If you don't target Xia Hou, I can directly tell you." Di Tian transmitted his voice to Di Tian, his words causing sharpness to flash through Di Tian's eyes. This old fox. "
Di Tian ignored Zhuge Xiong's voice transmission and directly spoke, "Grand Governor, I'm under the orders of the Lifelong Realmlord to be the Supervisory Commander. Even if this matter didn't happen to my Emperor Pavilion, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly. Our Lifire City cannot allow such vermin to exist. Since I know about this matter, if I don't investigate it, how can I face the Realmlord's love for me?"
Zhuge Xiong cursed in his heart. This bastard, he directly bypassed the Lifire Empyrean and directly talked about the Realmlord. He truly knew how to use his connections to intimidate others.
In addition, this Di Tian truly wasn't afraid of the Lifire Empyrean. Before he headed to the Lifelong Realm, his relationship with the Jialan Clan was already very close. Clearly, he was roped in by the Jialan Clan. Right now, the people of the Jialan Clan were also present at this banquet. How would this Di Tian care about the Lifire Empyrean's opinion?
The Realmlord has personally spoken. As long as Di Tian doesn't do anything disgraceful, he can do whatever he wants in Lifire City. No one would dare to touch him, including the Lifire Empyrean.
Right now, he said that he wanted to investigate Xia Hou and even brought out the Lifelong Realmlord's name. Even the Lifire Empyrean couldn't say anything. Could it be that he would really offend Di Tian to death and drive him to the Jialan Clan?
Zhuge Xiong guessed that the Lifire Empyrean would most probably allow Di Tian and Xia Hou to fight, he wouldn't interfere.
"What do you guys think?" Zhuge Xiong glanced at Lin Ba, Beauty Xiao and Yin Qiu. This caused Lin Ba and Yin Qiu to silently curse in their hearts.
"I feel that we should support Grandmaster Di. Since Grandmaster Di is the Supervisory Commander, he does have the authority to investigate this matter. Also, there's nothing in the governor's manor of our Lifire City that can't be revealed." Lin Ba spoke with a strong sense of righteousness, causing Zhuge Xiong to feel somewhat taken aback. Lin Ba actually directly supported Di Tian.
However, he understood after thinking about it. Among the five governors of Lifire City, Qin Wentian was a special existence. He was already very unhappy with Xia Hou. Other than Qin Wentian, Xia Hou was the strongest and Lin Ba was second. If Xia Hou fell, Lin Ba's status would naturally be even higher. Also, if he could obtain Di Tian's friendship, why not? As for Xia Hou, both Di Tian and Qin Wentian wanted to deal with him at the same time. Xia Hou wouldn't be able to continue jumping around for long.
"I also support Grandmaster Di." Beauty Xiao giggled, expressing her support with no hesitation. Her charming eyes stared at Di Tian. Zhuge Xiong thought that she wanted to seduce Di Tian and didn't feel strange.
"The matters of the past have already been investigated. Governor Di, there's no need to investigate anymore." Yin Qiu calmly spoke, his voice could be considered friendly. Di Tian's gaze landed on Yin Qiu as he spoke, "Since Governor Yin Qiu thinks this way, please do as you please. Since we walk different paths, we can't make plans together."
Yin Qiu's expression instantly froze. He didn't expect Di Tian to be so domineering. His tone was already extremely calm, but just because he didn't agree with Di Tian's opinion, Di Tian directly chased him away?
Zhuge Xiong and the others here were all shocked. What a domineering Grandmaster Di.
Lin Ba and Beauty Xiao smiled at Yin Qiu, traces of sympathy could be seen in their eyes. This fellow didn't seem to be able to see the situation clearly.
"Governor Di, I only …" Yin Qiu faintly felt regret.
"Governor Yin Qiu, please." Di Tian waved his hands, showing no mercy at all. Yin Qiu's lips twitched. After that, he stood up and left with a heavy expression on his face. Being chased away like this, one could very well imagine how terrible his mood was right now.
"Although Governor Qin didn't come, I believe that he would definitely agree with my opinion." Di Tian slowly spoke. Zhuge Xiong's eyes flashed. If Di Tian wanted to deal with Xia Hou, Qin Wentian would naturally agree.
"Since this is the case, if Governor Di has any needs, I will do my best to cooperate." Zhuge Xiong slowly spoke.
"In that case, I will have to thank Governor Zhuge then." Di Tian smiled and nodded. After that, he raised his cup and spoke to everyone, "Since everyone is willing to do their best to help me, let me toast to all of you."
The eyes of the experts flashed, each of them had their own worries in their hearts. Next, there would surely be a storm in the central city regions of Lifire City.
…
Not long after the banquet ended, the news of what happened at the Emperor Pavilion was already circulated to the central governor's manor.
A thunderous boom rang out in the great hall. The table beside Xia Hou directly shattered into pieces. The veins on his face bulged as his killing intent gushed forth.
"What a good Di Tian. Zhuge Xiong, Lin Ba, Beauty Xiao." Xia Hou's body trembled. One could very well imagine the anger he was feeling right now. Other than anger, there was also a hint of trepidation. Di Tian held a banquet in front of everyone and even asked the governors to express their stance. This meant that Di Tian was determined to act against him. Given Di Tian's current strength, he, Xia Hou, might really die in Di Tian's hands.
"Lord governor, what should we do?" A vice governor asked. Back then, this vice governor had gone to the Emperor Pavilion several times. At that time, he felt that Di Tian was courting death by not giving face to Xia Hou. But now, they actually started to fear Di Tian. This was truly ironic.
"We didn't do anything. So what if Di Tian investigates?" Xia Hou coldly glanced at him. His cold eyes flickered with a hint of threat. Clearly, he wanted the vice governor to pay attention to his words in the future and not leak any information.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake." That vice governor bowed.
"Go down and warn your subordinates not to speak recklessly. I will report this to the Lifire Empyrean. This Di Tian is truly lawless." Xia Hou calmly spoke. After that, that vice governor bade farewell and left, preparing to issue a gag order to those who knew the truth.
Not only for Xia Hou's governor's manor, the Yan Clan, Han Clan and Wei Clan were also holding an emergency meeting. The current Di Tian was no longer the Emperor Pavilion Lord Di Tian of the past. The him now was extremely domineering and truly had the power to destroy them. If he really wanted to investigate, no one knew what would happen if they were implicated.
After several days, many people came to the central governor's manor. These people were none other than Di Tian and the people from the Emperor Pavilion. Other than them, there were also people from Zhuge Xiong's faction.
"Governor Di, what do you mean by this?" The moment Di Tian arrived, Xia Hou personally walked out, blocking Di Tian outside. His expression was heavy, he went to the Lifire Empyrean to look for him but he was rejected. The Violet Moon Immortal transmitted a message to him, telling him that he would be responsible for what he did. This meant that the Lifire Empyrean wasn't planning to interfere and he could only depend on himself to deal with Di Tian.
"Governor Xia Hou, I still have some doubts regarding what happened to my Emperor Pavilion in the past. I need to look for people from the governor's manor to understand the situation." Di Tian spoke.
"Fine, I can call them over. If Governor Di wants to understand the situation, I can get them to cooperate." Xia Hou stared at Di Tian.
"I want to bring them to the Emperor Pavilion. I've already reported this to the Empyrean. There's no need for me to establish a new supervisory governor's manor, it's set to be in the Emperor Pavilion." Di Tian spoke.
"This won't do. They all have important matters to attend to and don't have so much time." Xia Hou rejected.
"This is the supervisory commander's command token." Di Tian took out a command token. There were large golden words engraved on it, similar to the governor's command token. However, the word 'supervisory' was engraved on it.
"If there's anyone who dares to obstruct me from carrying out my supervisory duties, that would be considered a form of disrespect to the Lifelong Saint Hall. I can act first and report later." Di Tian calmly spoke. For a moment, a terrifying might bore down on him. His immortal sense enveloped the governor's manor as he spoke, "I, Di Tian, the supervisory commander, summon all the vice governors and attendants of the northern city regions. For those who hear this, come over immediately. If not, you will be treated as a crime of disrespect and be killed without mercy."
His voice was like thunder, reverberating through the air, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble!
