"Who are you? Do you have the right to interfere in the matters of the Lifire Palace?" Zhuge Xiong berated. That person's gaze turned sharp as he stared at Zhuge Xiong and coldly laughed, "I'm from the Xuanyuan Clan of Lifelong City. What do you want?"
"Does everyone believe me?" Di Tian glanced at the people around him. Everyone shook their heads.
"Governor Qin was too careless. It's very normal." Zhuge Xiong spoke.
"Governor Qin, is this the case?" Di Tian asked Qin Wentian.
"Sun Qian, how many benefits did the Jialan Clan and Di Tian give you for you to dare to betray the Lifire Empyrean?" Zhuge Xiong's reaction was extremely fast. "Could it be that you don't know the crime of going against your superiors?"
As the sound of his voice faded, a figure walked over. This person was none other than Jialan Jiangshan. He stood arrogantly in the air, like a divinity. He stared at the Lifire Empyrean, "I didn't expect that after you became the Lifire Empyrean, you would act so recklessly, killing your own subordinates."
"Not only are there people from the Xuanyuan Clan here, there are also people from various powers in Lifelong City. They are all my good friends and came to the Lifire Palace to look for me. However, I received some news from the Lifire Empyrean, hence I brought all my friends here to take a look. As expected, I've seen how tyrannical the Lifire Empyrean is. There's no need to care about crimes, you can kill me directly. If the Lifire Empyrean says that I've committed a crime one day, would he kill me directly?"
Not long ago, he acted against Yin Qiu. Could it be that this was merely a premonition? Everything pointed to the Lifire Empyrean?
Qin Wentian stared at Zhuge Xiong, "If you wish to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext. I really want to know where this avatar of mine came from. Why is it that even I don't know about it?"
In addition, everyone in the Lifire Palace knew that this supervisory commander stood on the opposite side of him.
The Lifire Empyrean's eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent. This smiling tiger Sun Qian, he had always felt that he was very honest with him. But now, Sun Qian had actually betrayed him.
The Jialan Monarch must have been killed by Qin Wentian.
"In that case, I can't even enforce the law in the Lifire Palace anymore. I'm actually to to say that I'm being restricted by a supervisory commander."
"If there's no evidence, isn't it a little too tyrannical to execute a supervisory commander?"
"What are you going to do about it?" When the Lifire Empyrean heard Di Tian's voice, he let out another terrifying roar. After that, in the air, a bolt of blood-red lightning flashed as a figure appeared there. It was none other than the Lifire Empyrean. He was like the lord of this world, looking down at the masses with disdain. His eyes flickered with blazing flames as he stared at Di Tian.
"Palace Master, why do you need to change the topic? You didn't mention any crime and directly wanted to kill a commander. Could it be that as the supervising commander, I don't have the qualifications to interfere?" Di Tian spoke. "Or to put it in another way, Palace Lord is a marquis of a region. In your eyes, you basically have no respect for the supervisory commanders appointed by the Realmlord. You even dared to act so brazenly in front of me, killing a governor."
Even the Lifire Empyrean couldn't understand at this moment. Why would the situation be so out of control?
"Hahaha …" The Lifire Empyrean laughed uproariously, causing the entire space to tremble. The flames in the Lifire Empyrean's eyes grew even more intense as he spoke, "Get the person behind you to step out."
"Hehe." A lovable laughter rang out. Beauty Xiao's silhouette flashed as she appeared behind Di Tian. "Palace Lord, I've always felt that it's not appropriate to treat Governor Qin like this. Palace Lord, please retract your order!"
"Although we can't eliminate the suspicion of Qin Wentian, we don't have any evidence. We can't prove that Qin Wentian was the one who killed the Jialan Monarch." Jialan Jiangshan replied.
"Naturally, we managed to lure a bandit into our trap. He personally told us who it was that found them back then. It was none other than Governor Qin's portrait." Zhuge Xiong spoke.
"From what I know, back then when the Jialan Monarch was killed, Governor Qin was already in the governor's manor. Also, many people personally witnessed it. Palace Lord, aren't you lying to yourself by saying this?" Di Tian spoke.
"Does the Jialan Clan want to interfere in the matters of my Lifire Palace?" The Lifire Empyrean coldly spoke. He then glanced at Di Tian, "Supervisory commander, what crime do you have for colluding with the Jialan Clan?"
Di Tian's voice grew more and more domineering. When everyone heard that many major powers of Lifelong City had sent people here, they all felt an unusual aura.
Right now, out of the three governors of the Lifire Palace, Lin Ba, Sun Qian and Beauty Xiao, two of them had betrayed the Lifire Empyrean and admitted that he wanted to kill Qin Wentian!
"Senior Jialan, you are the elder of the Jialan Monarch. Do you believe the words of the palace lord?" Di Tian glanced at Jialan Jiangshan as he asked.
At this moment, the gazes of everyone froze.
The eyes of the Lifire Empyrean also flashed with a strange light. The people from the Xuanyuan Clan actually appeared.
"Since this is the case, I hope that Grand Governor Zhuge can hand over that bandit. My subordinate is the Evil Emperor and he can control others. He would know who is lying the moment he asks." Qin Wentian calmly spoke.
What did this Di Tian want exactly?
Right now, it was tough even if they didn't want to complicate matters. Things seemed to be developing in a direction that was out of their control.
"Grand Governor, do you think I'm a fool?" As Qin Wentian spoke, his countenance changed unceasingly. He then coldly continued, "Given my appearance changing arts, if I want to disguise myself as a bandit and kill the Jialan Monarch, do I even need to use my original appearance?"
"In that case, I really want to hear what news Governor Di Tian has obtained." The Lifire Empyrean asked.
"How terrifying." Many people felt fear in their hearts. Even the people from the Lifire Palace felt their hearts trembling.
This time around, even Zhuge Xiong and the people from the Lifire Palace felt fear in their hearts.
Qin Wentian was merely the fuse. Di Tian, this grandmaster weaponsmith, had long made arrangements in the dark. Even Governor Sun Qian was his subordinate.
"Story?" Di Tian coldly laughed. He turned his gaze in the direction of Zhuge Xiong only to see a figure flashing there, instantly appearing beside Di Tian.
"Lifelong City, Xuanyuan Clan." Zhuge Xiong's expression froze as he stared in a daze at the person beside Di Tian.
However, right now, it was no longer a question of who killed Qin Wentian. There was basically no way to explain this because they had no evidence at all.
Di Tian's domineering voice caused the atmosphere to grow even more tense. Right now, were these two supreme governors fighting against the Lifire Empyrean?
"Palace Lord, Sun Qian doesn't dare to kill a governor so brazenly. I can only report this to the supervisory commander." Sun Qian spoke, undoubtedly admitting to Di Tian's words. The Lifire Empyrean plotted to kill Qin Wentian.
His lips suddenly curled into a cold smile. It seemed like Di Tian had come prepared today.
"Colluding?" Jialan Jiangshan spoke. "I just can't stand your actions. Di Tian's relationship with my Jialan Clan isn't bad and he is also highly regarded by the Realmlord, allowing him to monitor the Lifire Palace. Now that you are acting so brazenly and Di Tian wants to stop you, why can't I help him? With the Realmlord above, even if he learns of this in the future, he would definitely understand. "
Di Tian stared at the Lifire Empyrean as he spoke.
What sort of character was he? His immortal sense was so powerful that it could cover a boundlessly vast area. How could he not know that his old rival had personally come here?
Could it be that Qin Wentian already knew everything and even colluded with Di Tian?
"I, Di, am highly regarded by the Realmlord. Since I encountered such a matter, even if I can't interfere, I have to do my best." Di Tian spoke, staring at the Lifire Empyrean. "If the Palace Lord wants to do this, Di Tian can only play along."
"This matter has to start from Governor Qin Wentian. Back then, Governor Qin once had an extraordinary relationship with the bandit Ye Qianyu. After that, the Lifire Empyrean captured Ye Qianyu and made use of Qin Wentian to become the northern governor. Everyone in Lifire City knows of his intentions. However, as Governor Qin displayed his brilliance at the Lifelong Banquet, the Lifire Empyrean started to fear his growth. This was because Governor Qin was no longer under the Lifire Empyrean's control. Hence, the Lifire Empyrean used the matter of the Jialan Monarch's death to frame Governor Qin, wanting him to head to the Lifire Palace and kill him on the spot. Dead people have no way to defend themselves. At that time, the Jialan Monarch could only be killed by Governor Qin. Am I right?"
"Zhuge Xiong, you were the one who came up with this idea, right? As expected of the brains of the Lifire Empyrean." Di Tian glanced at Zhuge Xiong. "People of the Lifire Palace, I hope you guys won't be foolish and become a sword in the hands of others. This matter implicates too much, I will definitely report this to the Realmlord. Is there anyone else who is willing to step out and tell the truth?"
"Sun Qian, what are you doing?" Zhuge Xiong stepped out as his gaze froze. The Lifire Empyrean's eyes flashed as he stared at Sun Qian.
"Your ability to fabricate stories isn't bad. The supervisory commander and the Jialan Clan joined forces, wanting to remove me from my position as the Lifire Empyrean?" The Lifire Empyrean laughed as he stared at Di Tian.
From the looks of it, it made sense why Di Tian was able to understand his movements so clearly and set up such a trap today.
Qin Wentian and Di Tian rose to fame at the same time, both at the Lifelong Realmlord's banquet. At this moment, they were facing the same character, the supreme character of Lifire City, the Lifire Empyrean.
But what was going on with this Di Tian exactly?
"Grand governor, do you have any proof for your words?" Di Tian asked Zhuge Xiong again.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Qin Wentian's methods. As for the Lifire Empyrean, his killing intent flashed, further confirming his guess.
Why did Jialan Jiangshan of the Jialan Clan come here today? There were also experts from the Xuanyuan Clan and the other major powers of Lifelong City. Could it be that everything was just a coincidence?
The hearts of everyone trembled. Right now, they already understood the situation before their eyes. This was a gamble between Di Tian and the Jialan Clan against the Lifire Empyrean. They made use of a mistake by the Lifire Empyrean and launched an attack. This time around, they wanted to pull the Lifire Empyrean down from his position.
"Since you all want to know so much, I'll tell you. Qin Wentian, as the Lifire Empyrean, killed the Jialan Monarch. Are you satisfied with this?" The Lifire Empyrean's voice was cold to the extreme. He was actually forced by an immortal emperor to give an account. This was simply a humiliation.
"This is naturally because of Qin Wentian's outstanding points. He has an avatar, using this to deceive everyone. His true body disguised himself as a bandit and killed the Jialan Monarch while his avatar appeared in the governor's manor, causing no one to suspect him." Grand governor Zhuge Xiong spoke. He naturally couldn't let the Lifire Empyrean speak to Di Tian personally.
"Enough." The Lifire Empyrean berated. His aura was terrifying to the extreme as he stared at Di Tian. "Right now, you should be clear about the crime. Qin Wentian assassinated the Jialan Monarch. Are you satisfied now?"
