After Qin Wentian returned to Lifire City, it seemed as calm as ever on the surface. However, in truth, undercurrents were already surging in the dark.
The Jialan Clan was silently making their move. In fact, the core character of the Jialan Clan, Jialan Jiangshan, who had once contended against the Lifire Empyrean for the position of palace lord, personally came to Lifire City and gathered many experts. Not only so, the Jialan Clan in Lifelong City was also making preparations in case of any unexpected situations.
The Emperor Pavilion also gathered their core members. Unknowingly, the experts of the Emperor Pavilion were all stationed in the northern city regions of Lifire City. The Emperor Pavilion had many businesses in this region and it was easy for many experts to stay here to deal with any sudden changes.
Just like what the Evil Emperor and Xu Li had guessed, right now, a storm was brewing in Lifire City. It was just that it was temporarily invisible.
After Zhuge Xiong returned to Lifire City, he told the Lifire Empyrean about the news of Qin Wentian breaking through. After the Lifire Empyrean heard this, he asked, "Could Qin Wentian be doing this intentionally? In truth, he already received the news and knows that we are going to deal with him?"
"That shouldn't be the case. If he received the news, he wouldn't have returned to Lifire City." Zhuge Xiong spoke with certainty. If he knew, Qin Wentian should understand that returning to Lifire City would only mean death. How could he still come back to send himself to death?
"Does this mean that he might really be about to break through and is at the most crucial moment?" The Lifire Empyrean's eyes flashed with terrifying flames. Although he has been in the empyrean realm for many years and even if Qin Wentian really broke through, he was confident that he would be able to kill him easily. However, he had seen Qin Wentian's combat prowess before. He was worried that something might go wrong if Qin Wentian really broke through.
"That might be the case. Most probably, he wouldn't come out of seclusion before he breaks through. Palace lord, are we still going to wait for him?" Zhuge Xiong asked. The Lifire Empyrean was naturally the most suitable place to deal with Qin Wentian because this was the Lifire Empyrean's territory. Everything here would be decided by the Lifire Empyrean and there wouldn't be any leaks at all. No matter how they deal with Qin Wentian here, outsiders wouldn't know.
But now, Qin Wentian was in closed-door seclusion, wanting to break through before exiting. This became a question of choice. Should they wait for Qin Wentian to exit seclusion to summon the Lifire Palace or should they directly head to the northern governor's manor?
"We can't wait any longer." The Lifire Empyrean's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Palace lord, the Jialan Clan is located in the northern city regions. Over there, their power is extremely great. Wouldn't there be more complications?" Zhuge Xiong spoke with some trepidation.
"Jialan Jiangshan isn't here, what can the Jialan Clan do? In any case, no matter how strong the Jialan Clan is, this place is still Lifire City." The Lifire Empyrean domineeringly spoke. "Also, if the Jialan Clan knew that Qin Wentian was the one who killed the Jialan Monarch, the Jialan Clan would also hope for Qin Wentian's death. If I act personally, there wouldn't be any accidents."
"Your subordinates are useless, it has been hard on palace lord." Zhuge Xiong bowed. This matter should have been handled by him. The governors of the various regions in Lifire City were all his direct subordinates.
But now, a governor of the northern city regions actually needed the Lifire Empyrean to act personally. This naturally meant that his capabilities weren't enough.
"Qin Wentian is too demonic, you can't be blamed for this. Immediately gather all the governors for a discussion." The Lifire Empyrean commanded. Zhuge Xiong nodded and took out his messaging crystal, summoning all the governors to the Lifire Palace. Naturally, there weren't many governors he could summon now. Only the governor of the central city regions, Sun Qian, the governor of the eastern city regions, Lin Ba, and the governor of the southern city regions, Beauty Xiao, were left. Yin Qiu was already crippled and the governor of the northern city regions was Qin Wentian.
The three governors received the order and brought their vice governors to the Lifire Palace. Beauty Xiao kept cursing in her heart. That bastard actually returned?
She had already told him that the Lifire Empyrean wanted to kill him, yet he still dared to return? Could it be that the Lifire Empyrean didn't dare to take his life?
Right now, the Lifire Empyrean personally summoned all the governors and vice governors. Clearly, he wanted to act against her. What was even more infuriating was that when she sent a message to him, Qin Wentian actually didn't reply to her. This bastard didn't know the immensity of death …
When the three governors arrived at the Lifire Palace, they discovered that there were already many people here. Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong's subordinates, as well as some protectors and attendants of the Lifire Palace. There were over ten immortal emperors gathered here. Such a powerful formation, the Lifire Empyrean must have personally made a move.
However, the Lifire Empyrean didn't appear. The person leading these experts was none other than Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong, as well as two other masked figures. These two had always been the Lifire Empyrean's left and right arms and were extremely mysterious. Behind them, there were also many immortal emperors wearing similar masks. They were none other than the secret guards of the Lifire Palace.
"Grand Governor, is there a need for such a powerful formation just to deal with a single Qin Wentian?" Beauty Xiao smiled.
"Right now, there are many experts in the northern governor's manor. We have to capture the Evil Emperor and the others first. If they dare to resist, kill them on the spot. No accidents are allowed to happen." Zhuge Xiong coldly spoke. After that, he waved his hands, "Move out."
As the sound of his voice faded, this group of people directly moved towards the northern governor's manor. The Left and Right Messengers led the secret guards and moved alone, not together with Zhuge Xiong and the others. One in the open, one in the dark. This was clearly a ruthless move.
Beauty Xiao understood what sort of character the Lifire Empyrean was. Someone who could sit in this position would surely be extremely ruthless and decisive. Since he wanted to do something, he wouldn't leave behind any hidden dangers for himself. Qin Wentian was someone whom the Realmlord had singled out before. Under the situation where there was no evidence, if they wanted to kill Qin Wentian and make sure that he was guilty, they couldn't leave behind any hidden dangers. If not, if the Realmlord was unhappy, it wouldn't be beneficial to the Lifire Empyrean.
This group of people moved in an imposing manner, all of them were immortal emperors. There wasn't a single immortal king among them.
At this moment, the people of Lifire City had no idea what would happen to Lifire City today. They were living their lives as per usual, cultivating alone, trading for treasures, drinking wine and chatting idly, or enjoying the pleasures of the flowers.
It was the same for the northern governor's manor as well. Everything was in order. In fact, there were no abnormalities at all in the governor's manor.
"Do you guys know that the governor has already returned?" Some people in the governor's manor whispered.
"We know. Lord Governor has always been elusive. This time after he returned, he has been staying in the governor's manor, not appearing at all."
"I heard that on the second day after Lord Governor returned, Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong came by as well. He seemed to have something to look for Lord Governor but was obstructed by Vice Governor Xu. I wonder if something would happen."
"What can happen? Don't you know what sort of character our Governor Qin is? Although Zhuge Xiong is the grand governor, so what? In front of Lord Governor Qin, he still doesn't have the qualifications to be arrogant." That person spoke with arrogance, feeling an intense reverence for Qin Wentian in his heart.
Although Qin Wentian was very low-profile during these years, he was simply too special. Every single thing he did would cause a huge commotion.
Just as they were speaking, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly appeared in the air. The clouds churned and after that, a stifling pressure bore down from the sky.
"What's going on?" The crowd frowned.
"What happened?" They inclined their heads, only to feel the pressure growing stronger and stronger. In a short instant, the entire governor's manor was enveloped by it. After that, numerous figures descended from the sky. Each of them was an immortal emperor.
Also, the person in the lead was actually Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong.
At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the governor's manor trembled. They understood that something major was about to happen.
The entire governor's manor was instantly in a state of chaos. In fact, even the people in the surroundings of the governor's manor could feel the pressure. When they saw the experts descending from the sky, all of their gazes were filled with shock. Was the sky changing?
The experts in the air descended, standing in different locations. Zhuge Xiong stepped out as he spoke in a clear voice, "Northern Governor Qin Wentian, come out."
No one replied. In the inner regions of the governor's manor, the Evil Emperor, Xu Li and the others appeared. They soared into the air and stared at the experts descending from the sky. Although they knew that a storm was brewing and that something major might happen, they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"Governor Qin is currently in closed-door seclusion. Grand Governor, what do you mean by this?" Xu Li asked.
Zhuge Xiong's expression was cold to the extreme. He then spoke, "Qin Wentian has violated the iron rules of the Lifire Palace. His crime is unpardonable. Palace Lord is summoning him to the Lifire Palace for questioning. Also, all the vice governors and attendants of the northern governor's manor are to follow me there."
Even now, Zhuge Xiong still wanted to bring Qin Wentian back to the Lifire Palace to deal with him in secret.
The gazes of the Evil Emperor and Xu Li froze. Was he planning to capture them all in one fell swoop? He wanted to bring the vice governors and attendants away? Could it be that the Lifire Empyrean wanted all the core characters of the northern governor's manor to disappear?
Countless people felt their hearts trembling. The Lifire Empyrean wanted to capture the northern governor's manor, Qin Wentian? What was going on exactly?
"I don't understand Grand Governor's meaning." The Evil Emperor's eyes flashed with a green light as he coldly spoke.
"You will know after you go to the Lifire Palace." Zhuge Xiong's immortal sense gushed out, enveloping the governor's manor. His gaze landed on the courtyard Qin Wentian was in and he punched out. In an instant, a beam of fist light pierced through the sky, directly penetrating through everything. Thunderous rumbling sounds rang out as the buildings collapsed, causing dust to fly up into the air. An extremely sturdy cultivation formation could be seen in the midst of the ruins. A white-robed figure sat cross-legged there, as though he was cultivating inside.
This white-robed figure was none other than Qin Wentian.
At this moment, Qin Wentian inclined his head. His eyes were like sharp swords, shooting straight up into the clouds, incomparably resplendent and terrifying to the extreme. With a single glance, Zhuge Xiong's eyes trembled. At this instant, he actually felt like he was facing a divinity. It was like this person was someone he couldn't defeat.
"Finally, it has come." Qin Wentian's eyes were terrifying. He slowly soared into the air, waiting for this moment for a very long time!
