"Governor Di Tian must be joking. What crime have I committed?" Yin Qiu had an awkward expression on his face. He coldly glanced at the experts from the He Clan, causing the atmosphere of the banquet to turn silent. How could they still not understand what was going on?
Governor Di Tian came here for a banquet, it was clear that he had ulterior motives.
Before this, Di Tian was still laughing and chatting with the experts from the various major powers. But in the blink of an eye, he invited Governor Yin Qiu over and directly questioned him. The feeling he gave off was like a sinister plot. The He Clan had fallen headfirst into this trap. Naturally, there were also people who rejoiced in their misfortune. They had long realized what Di Tian wanted to do by coming here. It was just that the experts from the He Clan didn't understand.
"Earlier, the people from the He Clan personally told me that their He Clan has the strength of a first-tier power and the scale of a first-tier power. However, they were only classified as a third-tier power. In addition, they said that Governor Yin Qiu often visited their He Clan and their relationship is very good. Everyone here can testify to this." Di Tian stared at Yin Qiu as he spoke.
"I misspoke and bragged. Grandmaster Di, please don't take it seriously." That expert from the He Clan stood up and lifted his wine cup. "Grandmaster Di, I misspoke after I drank too much. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, he drained the cup in a single gulp. Di Tian coldly stared at him, "After you finished speaking, I already sent people to investigate. The reports I received are indeed like what you said. I believe that the Lifire Empyrean would be able to easily investigate this matter. There's no meaning for you to continue lying."
That expert from the He Clan was drenched in cold sweat. Di Tian slowly stood up and stared at Yin Qiu, "Governor Yin, what else do you have to say?"
"Governor Di, even if there's such a thing, it might be my fault for being negligent. I will investigate this matter properly." Yin Qiu spoke.
"Governor Yin Qiu often visits the He Clan, what else is there to investigate?" Di Tian coldly laughed. "As the governor of the western city regions of the Lifire Palace, Yin Qiu, you ignored the rules of Lifire City and even helped the He Clan to exempt the He Clan from paying taxes. How vast is the difference between a first-tier and a third-tier power? With your actions, how would the other major powers in Lifire City submit to you? I received the Realmlord's orders to take on the position of the supervisory commander. Since I've investigated this matter, I will definitely not let this matter rest. "
"Bastard." Yin Qiu cursed silently in his heart. This bastard is trying to use the name of the Lifelong Realmlord to act against him.
"Commander Di Tian, it was just a small conflict in the past. There's no need for you to use your official position to avenge your personal grudges, right?" Yin Qiu's voice turned sinister. Such a small matter to a governor was basically nothing. Just like what everyone said earlier, this was merely an unwritten rule. If he really wanted to investigate, all five governors of Lifire City wouldn't have any problems. All of them would definitely be in trouble.
Di Tian was clearly taking revenge on Huo Yuhao for siding with Xia Hou back then.
Yin Qiu naturally wouldn't expect that Di Tian wanted to deal with him. It wasn't because of the minor conflict between them back then. It was because when the Lifire Empyrean summoned all the governors, Yin Qiu wanted to kill Qin Wentian. At that time, he strongly believed in Zhuge Xiong's words. Since this was the case, it was time for the governors of Lifire City to be reorganized.
Today, he would start with Yin Qiu of the western city regions.
"This seat has always been impartial when doing things. This is my responsibility as the supervisory commander. You actually dare to slander this seat? Men, Governor Yin doesn't care about the rules of our Lifire Palace. Capture him." Di Tian coldly spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, two immortal emperors stepped out, walking towards Yin Qiu.
"Impudent!" Another person walked out from behind Yin Qiu. It was one of the vice governors of the governor's manor, Yin Qiu's subordinate.
"This seat is acting on the Realmlord's orders to exercise the supervisory authority. Those who obstruct me will be treated as disobeying the Realmlord. They will be killed without mercy." Di Tian coldly spoke. A moment later, the bodies of the two vice governors stiffened as they felt cold sweat dripping down their backs. This Di Tian had already steeled his heart to deal with their Vice Governor Yin. He kept bringing out the Realmlord's name and even said the words' kill without mercy '. If they were really killed by Di Tian, it would truly be an injustice.
This bastard, he was truly a bastard.
"Di Tian, if you want revenge, just say it clearly. There's no need to keep bringing out the Realmlord's name. If the Realmlord knows that you are using his name, he would definitely be unhappy." Yin Qiu coldly glanced at the two of them. "I'm the western city governor of the Lifire Palace, personally appointed by the Lifire Empyrean. Which of you dares to touch me?"
"Capture him. If he resists, it would be a crime of disobedience. I will personally act against him." Di Tian lifted his wine cup and drank a mouthful of wine. In an instant, the atmosphere of the banquet froze. It was too stifling.
Everyone was trembling with fear as they stared at Di Tian and Yin Qiu. The two of them had directly shed all pretense of cordiality.
The two immortal emperors continued walking towards Yin Qiu. Their law energy flashed, wrapping around Yin Qiu.
"You guys are truly impudent." Yin Qiu's expression turned dark to the extreme. His law energy erupted forth, causing the two immortal emperors to shiver as frost started to form on their bodies.
It was impossible for Yin Qiu to sit still and wait for death. He didn't dare to imagine how Di Tian would deal with him after bringing him away. Hence, even if he didn't resist, he had no choice.
"Truly impudent." Di Tian spoke. He stood up and took a step forward. His eyes flickered with a terrifying sealing light, like the eyes of a seal. In an instant, resplendent law energy shot out from his eyes, raining down on Yin Qiu, wanting to seal the law energy in Yin Qiu's body.
"Scram!" Yin Qiu coldly roared. He punched out with his fist, causing cracking sounds to ring out. The sealing light in Yin Qiu's eyes grew even more terrifying. The sealing light flowed unceasingly, gushing into Yin Qiu's body. Yin Qiu actually felt that he had no way to suppress this sealing energy.
Di Tian stretched his hand out towards Yin Qiu and abruptly clenched his fist. In an instant, the boundless sealing law energy transformed into a formless sealing energy within Yin Qiu's body. Yin Qiu groaned in misery, he felt that the circulation of the law energy in his body was no longer smooth. He stared at Di Tian with a sinister look in his eyes, "You actually broke through to the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm."
Di Tian basically ignored Yin Qiu. The sealing law energy in his eyes was boundless as he clenched his fist again. The formless sealing energy ravaged Yin Qiu's body. Di Tian walked towards him step by step and spoke, "Western governor Yin Qiu, you violated the rules of the Lifire Palace, abusing your authority for personal gain. You even dared to resist this seat's supervision. Your crimes are unforgivable."
After Di Tian spoke, he directly slammed his palm onto Yin Qiu's body. Yin Qiu let out a scream of agony as a terrifying transformation occurred in his body. Yin Qiu was drenched in cold sweat, his originally white countenance turned as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. He stared at Di Tian with fear in his eyes, as well as a terrifying curse. Di Tian actually dared to act so ruthlessly against him.
"How dare you act so arrogantly? The Lifire Empyrean will never spare you." Yin Qiu's voice was low and hoarse. The people in the surroundings all felt their hearts trembling. This was crazy. Ever since Di Tian was appointed as the supervisory commander, he alone crippled two of the Lifire Palace's governors. Back then, Governor Xia Hou had a deep grudge with Di Tian. But now, Di Tian wanted to cripple Yin Qiu as well.
One must know that these two were governors appointed by the Lifire Empyrean. It was fine if Xia Hou didn't say anything, but now, Di Tian wanted to cripple Yin Qiu as well. How could the Lifire Empyrean not have any reaction?
What did this Di Tian want to do exactly?
The countenance of that expert from the He Clan was already as pale as paper. His body was trembling. This time around, he had created a disaster, a great disaster.
"I, Di, am ashamed that such a thing happened here today. I won't hold all of you back any longer. Everyone, please feel free to do as you please." Di Tian clasped his hands to everyone. The crowd naturally understood that Di Tian was telling them to leave. All of them bid their farewells, but their hearts were unable to calm down even after a long time.
This matter was circulated to the Lifire Palace in the shortest time possible. Yin Qiu's two vice governors also left. They weren't vegetarians, they naturally knew what they should do at this moment.
But almost at the same time, Di Tian also sent someone to the Lifire Palace to report this matter.
After Zhuge Xiong heard of this, his expression turned extremely ugly. He stared at the person who came to report, "Governor Di Tian, what nonsense is this?"
After speaking, he took out his messaging crystal and sent a strand of immortal sense into it, "Governor Di Tian, how did Governor Yin Qiu offend you?"
"Grand Governor, Yin Qiu didn't offend me. It's just that he abused his authority for personal gain, messing up the distribution of power, causing many powers in the western city regions to complain and report this matter to me. I specially came here to investigate and as expected, I acted. Right now, I've already sent someone to the Lifire Empyrean to report this matter." Di Tian's voice rang out, filled with righteousness.
Zhuge Xiong coldly laughed in his heart. Was there a need to send someone to report this matter? Wouldn't it be enough to just use the messaging crystal? This Di Tian was clearly being perfunctory, he wanted to deal with Yin Qiu.
"Governor Di Tian, Yin Qiu is after all a subordinate of the Lifire Empyrean. Can you listen to me and investigate this matter clearly? Maybe you have made a mistake." Zhuge Xiong pleaded for Yin Qiu.
"Grand Governor, I'll naturally send someone to investigate this matter. But it's impossible for me to make a mistake." Di Tian replied. He had already steeled his heart to deal with Yin Qiu. Zhuge Xiong even brought out the Lifire Empyrean but Di Tian still didn't give him any face.
"Governor Di, there's no way to explain things clearly here. I'll go look for you." Zhuge Xiong kept his messaging crystal. He turned and entered the Lifire Palace. He didn't say anything more and came to the place where the Lifire Empyrean was at, outside a supreme grand formation.
"What did he say?" The Lifire Empyrean sat there cultivating as he asked.
"Palace Lord, I'm preparing to look for him personally." Zhuge Xiong spoke. Upon hearing this, the Lifire Empyrean's eyes flashed with a terrifying fiery light, causing Zhuge Xiong to feel a stifling pressure, terrifying to the extreme. He understood that the Lifire Empyrean was angered.
"Fine. Make a trip personally and probe this Di Tian. What does he want exactly? Does he also want my position as the Lifire Empyrean?" The Lifire Empyrean sinisterly spoke. Di Tian consecutively made a move against two of his governors. This was already not giving him face at all. In fact, it could be said that this was a provocation to his authority.
Could it be that this Di Tian really wanted to challenge his position?
Maybe, Di Tian really had such ambitions. Upon thinking of this, the Lifire Empyrean's gaze grew even more terrifying!
