Qin Wentian floated in the air, staring at the Lifire Empyrean and his subordinates. He then turned his gaze to Zhuge Xiong as he coldly spoke, "Governor Zhuge, may I ask what crime I've committed?"
His voice was very calm, but Zhuge Xiong felt his heart trembling. For some reason, Qin Wentian actually gave him an indescribable sense of pressure, an extremely intense pressure.
"We'll talk about this matter after we head to the Lifire Palace. The Empyrean wants you to bring the northern vice governor and attendants back with me. Governor Qin, just do as he's told." Zhuge Xiong's voice was no longer as domineering as before. The calm Qin Wentian actually caused him to feel fear. If Qin Wentian suddenly acted up, he might really be in danger.
"If you don't explain clearly what crime I, Qin, have committed, I won't go to the Lifire Palace. Governor Zhuge bullied me and humiliated me, even destroying my residence. I'm afraid I won't be able to return." Qin Wentian stood with his hands behind his back. His white robes fluttered in the wind, exuding a ruthless aura, causing the eyes of everyone to gleam with sharpness. As expected of the magnificent northern governor, Qin Wentian.
Despite the fact that experts were as common as clouds and the Lifire Palace wanted to interrogate him, his expression didn't change at all. In fact, he even directly threatened Zhuge Xiong, saying that if Zhuge Xiong couldn't give him an explanation, there was no need for him to leave.
"In that case, the Empyrean's orders are already useless to you?" Zhuge Xiong's voice turned cold after being threatened by Qin Wentian.
"If I'm innocent, the Empyrean wouldn't dare to humiliate me like this, destroying my governor's residence." Qin Wentian calmly spoke.
"Is that so?" A domineering voice drifted over from the void, exuding an overwhelming might. In an instant, this vast region felt a stifling pressure. Countless people were shocked as they inclined their heads and stared at the sky. However, they couldn't see any silhouettes. In fact, even with their immortal senses, they couldn't sense the presence of anyone. They could only sense the terrifying pressure.
At this moment, they all knew that the Lifire Empyrean had arrived.
What did the northern governor, Qin Wentian, do exactly? Why would the Lifire Empyrean personally make a trip here?
Zhuge Xiong's expression was cold. However, the beautiful silhouette behind him, Beauty Xiao, had a look of worry on her face. Could it be that this fellow wanted to go head-on against the Empyrean? Did he really not know that he was courting death?
Qin Wentian also inclined his head and stared at the void. He naturally knew who had arrived. He had long predicted that the Lifire Empyrean would definitely come here personally because other than the Lifire Empyrean, none of his subordinates would be able to capture him. He could only do it himself.
"Qin Wentian, I told you to go to the Lifire Palace. Are you going or not?" The Lifire Empyrean coldly spoke, exuding a towering pressure.
Qin Wentian stared at the void, his body still straight as he said proudly, "Palace Lord, please tell me, what crime have I committed to deserve such humiliation?"
"You only need to answer me. Are you going to leave or not?" The Lifire Empyrean domineeringly spoke, not bothering to waste words with him.
Qin Wentian stood there and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm unable to comply."
"Where are the vice governors and attendants of the northern governor's manor? Are you going to listen to my orders or are you going to disobey?" The Lifire Empyrean asked. After a moment, other than a few vice governors who had been following Qin Wentian, the other vice governors and attendants were all trembling with fear.
Was there a need to choose?
Although their governor was the exuberant Qin Wentian, the person who spoke was none other than the supreme existence of the Lifire Palace, the Lifire Empyrean.
"Your subordinates obey palace lord's orders."
"We're willing to follow the grand governor." In an instant, more and more people spoke. After that, their silhouettes flashed as they flew towards Zhuge Xiong. The people of the northern governor's manor all had dumbfounded looks on their faces when they saw this scene. They then turned their gazes to Qin Wentian. This exuberant governor was someone they had always revered like a god. But today, was this god-like existence about to crumble?
He had angered the Lifire Empyrean.
The atmosphere was incomparably heavy. The hearts of the people in the governor's manor pounded unceasingly. During these years, Qin Wentian was their faith. No one would have thought that such a thing would happen.
"Qin Wentian, this seat will ask you one last time. Are you going or not?" The Lifire Empyrean's imposing voice rang out once more. Qin Wentian still quietly stared at the air, "A warrior can be killed but cannot be humiliated."
"Since this is the case, I'll grant you your wish." A voice rang out, and in the next moment, an even more terrifying pressure enveloped the world. The void seemed to have been branded red, and there was an extremely terrifying pressure in the world. Flames covered the sky, and blood-red lightning descended from the sky. It was as if doomsday had arrived, flashing in the void.
After that, deafening rumbling sounds rang out. In the air, a gigantic blood-colored palm imprint descended from the sky. At this moment, it was like the end of the world had arrived, it was about to be destroyed.
Below, countless people trembled. They frenziedly retreated. Zhuge Xiong and the others also evaded. That giant palm imprint seemed to have a spirit of its own and directly shot towards Qin Wentian, controlled by his law intent.
An incomparably resplendent light radiated from Qin Wentian, radiating the might of light. Buddhic light shone resplendently as countless arms blasted out, welcoming the incoming blood-colored palm imprint. There was a sense of tragedy in it, it was like he knew it was impossible but he still chose to do it. He would rather die than to be humiliated.
The luxurious governor's manor was now filled with the magnificence of an apocalypse. All of Qin Wentian's attacks were destroyed by that palm imprint. Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at this scene. The Lifire Empyrean wanted to directly destroy Qin Wentian, not giving Qin Wentian any chance at all.
When that apocalyptic palm imprint slammed down, an incomparably intense boom rang out. After which, the spectators only saw the earth trembling as a gigantic crater appeared, emitting an aura of scorching destruction. The entire ground was dyed red as a series of fiery fissures appeared. The gazes of the crowd turned over. Qin Wentian, who exuded magnificence throughout the generations, was he killed so easily?
He died just like that? Wasn't this a little too childish?
Furthermore, it was extremely cruel. Such an extraordinary and outstanding commander was easily killed. In front of absolute power, no matter how outstanding one's talent was, it was all just like floating clouds. No wonder those peerless monstrous geniuses were no different from ordinary people in front of those in the upper echelons. So what if your talent is high? If you anger me, I can easily kill you. You won't even have the chance to grow.
At this moment, a light sound rang out. After that, a figure walked out from the crater. His white robes were stained with blood and he looked extremely disheveled. However, his aura was still the same, exuding boundless magnificence as he stared disdainfully at this space.
This strike actually failed to kill him.
In the air, a stifling pressure enveloped this space once more, as though a second killing technique was being prepared.
"Empyrean, what are you doing?" A voice drifted over from afar. After that, a terrifying whistling sound rang out as resplendent beams of light shot through the air. In just an instant, another group of figures appeared in the air.
The person standing at the very front was clad in black robes and had a mask on his face. He was actually a character on the same level of fame as Qin Wentian, a grandmaster weaponsmith of Lifire City, a genius of the martial path, the supervisory commander, the lord of the Emperor Pavilion, Di Tian.
Not only did Di Tian arrive, he even brought many experts with him. There were over ten immortal emperors, their lineup actually didn't lose out to the Lifire Empyrean at all. When they thought of the recent rumors about Di Tian falling out with the Lifire Empyrean, a strange expression appeared on the faces of everyone.
Was Di Tian preparing to join forces with the Jialan Clan and clash head-on against the Lifire Empyrean?
Di Tian actually appeared at this moment. For a period of time, the scene was even more spectacular. Experts were as common as clouds, more and more experts gathered here. There were also experts from the various powers in Lifire City, all of them rushing over here with extreme speed. Many people received a piece of news that something major was about to happen in the northern governor's manor.
Zhuge Xiong frowned when he saw Di Tian's appearance. This fellow's appearance was truly timely, he actually came here at this moment.
"Di Tian, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please leave." Zhuge Xiong spoke to Di Tian.
"What crime did Governor Qin commit? Palace Lord wants to kill him on the spot?" Di Tian's gaze was still fixed on the air as he directly asked.
"Do I need to answer to you?" An imposing voice rang out. The Lifire Empyrean was already extremely unhappy with Di Tian. Now, Di Tian actually dared to ask him about his matters.
"Palace Lord naturally doesn't need to answer to me for your actions. It's just that I received news that Palace Lord wanted to kill Governor Qin under false pretenses. I initially thought that the news was fake. What sort of character is Palace Lord? Why would he act against a subordinate governor? But now, I actually saw Palace Lord killing Governor Qin. Hence, I wanted to ask you something." Di Tian calmly spoke, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Qin Wentian was disobedient and disobeyed Palace Lord's orders. This crime alone is sufficient." Zhuge Xiong coldly spoke. "Governor Di actually dared to slander Palace Lord? This is a great crime."
"Disobedient?" Di Tian glanced at Qin Wentian. "Governor Qin, is there such a thing?"
"Palace Lord, if you want to kill me, just say so. Why is there a need to find excuses? I returned to my governor's manor for closed-door seclusion but Zhuge Xiong directly killed his way here and destroyed my governor's manor, waking me up from my seclusion. After that, he said that I've committed a great crime yet he didn't say what the crime was and wanted to bring me back to the Lifire Palace. I want to ask Palace Lord, is this the crime of disobedience?" Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
"Shut up." The Lifire Empyrean berated. After that, he turned to Di Tian, "Governor Di, I know you are the supervisory commander. However, the crimes Qin Wentian has committed cannot be pardoned. I will personally report this to the Lifelong Saint Hall, there's no need for you to worry about this. You can leave now."
"I initially thought that the news was fake. However, Palace Lord didn't even say what the crime was and wanted Governor Qin to die. As the supervisory commander, I have no choice but to act cautiously. I hope that Palace Lord will show mercy and allow me to report this to the Lifelong Saint Hall." Di Tian came here precisely for this matter. He had waited for a very long time, how could he leave now?
"This seat is in charge of the Lifire Palace. Do I still need you, the supervisory commander, to agree to arrest a criminal?" The pressure in the air grew even more intense, terrifying to the extreme. A terrifying aura bore down on Di Tian. It was like if he was angered, he might even act against Di Tian.
"Palace Lord doesn't dare to say what the crime is. Seems like the news I received might really be true. For the sake of killing Governor Qin, Palace Lord actually arranged such a grand formation, abusing his authority to eliminate dissidents. I, Di, am under the Realmlord's orders to supervise the Lifire Palace. Since this matter is so serious, I have to do something about it."
After Di Tian was threatened by the Lifire Empyrean, his voice grew even more domineering. This caused everyone to feel fear in their hearts, they felt that this matter was getting more and more difficult to see through!
