He had personally witnessed Qin Wentian and Di Tian's combat prowess back then. Let alone today, even back then when the Lifelong Grand Banquet was held, Qin Wentian and Di Tian used their mid-stage immortal emperor cultivation bases to challenge the various monarchs of the nine world palaces. One of them was undefeatable while the other obtained the number one position in the martial competition, causing his name to shake Lifelong City and was rewarded by the Realmlord.
Right now, Qin Wentian's strength had grown even stronger. Just that gaze alone caused him to feel a deep sense of trepidation. Other than the Lifire Empyrean, no one else would be able to kill him.
"Governor Qin, there are still variables. If you listen to the Lifire Empyrean's orders now and stand together with us to suppress the traitor, you might still have a chance to redeem yourself. Don't forget that the Realmlord once said that he would only spare Ye Qianyu if you make great contributions." Zhuge Xiong spoke to Qin Wentian. He then continued, "Don't be made use of by others."
"You directly tried to kill me yet you still have the face to say such words now. Grand Governor Zhuge, your ability to obey the orders of the Lifire Empyrean is truly admirable." Qin Wentian spoke.
"Since you are so stubborn, there's only death for you. Everyone listen up, capture and kill the traitor." Zhuge Xiong waved his hand. After that, the immortal emperors unleashed terrifying law attacks, directly blasting down from the sky towards Qin Wentian.
"KILL!" Di Tian's people and the Jialan Clan's people also launched their attacks. The battle instantly erupted.
A fearsome defensive might gushed forth from Qin Wentian. His entire body seemed to be covered in a sword-shaped armor, allowing the destructive law attacks to land on him. However, he remained unmoved.
"Puchi …" A sword slashed out from the darkness, radiating black light. In the darkness, a terrifying destructive might actually manifested. The black-colored sword of destruction directly slammed into Qin Wentian's back, causing many in the crowd to break out in cold sweat.
From the darkness, people actually walked out. They were like assassins hiding in the void and there were quite a few of them who were the Lifire Empyrean's trusted subordinates. The moment they acted, their attacks were as swift as lightning.
However, when the terrifying dark sword struck Qin Wentian's body with astonishing destructive power, it was unable to pierce through Qin Wentian's body. Bit by bit, the sword sank into the sword shield protecting Qin Wentian's body. A terrifying vortex appeared inside. The dark expert tried to pull his sword out, but found that he couldn't move it.
"So strong." Everyone stared at Qin Wentian. Although Qin Wentian was almost killed by the Lifire Empyrean earlier, that was only because his opponent was the Lifire Empyrean. Facing against an immortal emperor, Qin Wentian instantly displayed his strength, allowing the Lifire Empyrean to attack him without suffering any injuries at all.
The Lifire Empyrean wanted to retreat but he only saw Qin Wentian slamming out with a palm strike. A terrifying palm imprint slammed into the air and a moment later, a figure silently fell from the sky. The terrifying immortal emperor assassin was killed in a single strike.
"Ever since I became the northern governor of the Lifire Empyrean, I have always abided by my duties, reorganizing the northern city regions and collecting the tributes on time. However, I didn't expect that I would end up in such a miserable state. The Lifire Empyrean and Grand Governor personally plotted to kill me and the assassins in the dark also showed no mercy. Since all of you want me to die, I can only retaliate."
Qin Wentian stood in the air, his white robes fluttered in the wind as his black hair danced in the wind. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to everyone else.
His voice seemed to contain a magical power, deeply attracting everyone's attention. It made people feel that if he were to act, the heavens would surely be earth-shattering.
It was like before, Qin Wentian had always been suppressing himself, enduring the urge to act. It was only until now, when the Lifire Empyrean personally acted, directly killing his guards. He finally could no longer endure it.
A fearsome aura gushed forth from Qin Wentian, causing countless gazes to land on him.
The northern governor, Qin Wentian. Before this, everyone felt that he would definitely die today. Even his subordinates, the vice governors and attendants of the northern governor's manor had all betrayed him, listening to the Lifire Empyrean's orders. Because, it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker with a single glance.
However, the truth wasn't like what everyone had imagined. Qin Wentian was domineeringly killed by the Lifire Empyrean. Instead, Di Tian appeared, stirring up this storm.
As for the main character, Qin Wentian, he was like a foil. However, was he really willing to be a foil?
Qin Wentian was finally going to take the initiative to retaliate.
What would his retaliation be like?
Terrifying rumbling sounds rang out as a fearsome law energy gushed forth from Qin Wentian. In fact, it directly penetrated through space. Qin Wentian turned his gaze to Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong. Just a single glance from him caused Zhuge Xiong to feel as though his eyes were about to be pierced blind, he had no way to open them. In the next instant, countless sharp swords coiled around him, instantly locking down the space around him. In this space, a torrential sword river could be seen flowing around him.
Qin Wentian stood there unmoving, calmly staring at Zhuge Xiong. Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong was already locked down by the sword river. It felt like as long as Qin Wentian willed it, Zhuge Xiong would die without a burial ground.
An expert from the Lifire Palace launched an attack at the sword river. However, the sword river continued to flow, directly engulfing the attacker. In an instant, beams of sword intent pierced through his body as a scream of misery rang out. That immortal emperor was directly penetrated by the sword intent. His body was dyed red with blood as he fell from the air.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhuge Xiong's body trembled as terror appeared on his face. The him right now, his life was hanging by a thread.
"Is this the counterattack of the northern governor, Qin Wentian?" The hearts of everyone trembled. With a single thought, Qin Wentian, the Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong, was placed in a desperate situation.
"Grand Governor Zhuge, let me ask you. How have I, Qin Wentian, offended you? Why would you instigate the Lifire Palace Lord to kill me?" Qin Wentian's voice was as sharp as a sword. Zhuge Xiong paled, he could feel how powerful the sword intent enveloping him was. It seemed like this was no longer something he could resist.
"Qin Wentian, do you really want to be consigned to eternal damnation?" Zhuge Xiong still had a trace of hope in him.
Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light. His sword intent flowed as a piercing sound rang out. Zhuge Xiong screamed in agony. He stretched out his right hand and clutched his left arm. Fresh blood flowed unceasingly from the wound. Zhuge Xiong's face was ashen, he only felt the sky turning dark.
How could he be so powerful? So powerful that he, the Lifire Palace's grand governor, didn't even have the slightest ability to resist.
"I'll ask you one last time. What crime have I, Qin, committed? Why are you doing this?" Qin Wentian spoke. Zhuge Xiong trembled with fear. He glanced at the battle between the Lifire Empyrean and Jialan Jiangshan and knew that Qin Wentian had no time to care about his life. A look of despair appeared on his face. If he knew this would happen, why would he want to be implicated, causing Qin Wentian to blame this debt on him? At this moment, Zhuge Xiong only felt incomparable regret.
He had always been intelligent, yet he was muddle-headed. It's just that who would have thought that such a thing would happen today? The Lifire Empyrean was the king of this vast region.
Right now, this position of the Lifire Empyrean was being challenged.
Zhuge Xiong naturally knew what Qin Wentian wanted to hear. His body trembled, he stared at Qin Wentian and finally spoke, "This wasn't my intention. The Lifire Empyrean wanted your life and as his subordinate, I could only cooperate. I had no choice but to do so. Now, the death of the Jialan Monarch is a perfect opportunity to eliminate you, the threat that you are."
"Zhuge Xiong has also admitted to it …" The hearts of the crowd trembled when they heard this. Although Zhuge Xiong was forced to say this under the threat of death, it was still meaningful. Currently, among all the governors of the Lifire Palace, only Lin Ba had yet to speak.
With a piercing sound, Zhuge Xiong screamed in agony. His other arm had been severed. Fresh blood flowed unceasingly, he was in an extremely miserable state.
"You bullied me like this, wanting my life. By right, I should have killed you. However, although you work for the Lifire Palace, you are also someone from the Lifelong Realm. Since you have already admitted to your crimes, as the governor of the Lifire Palace, I have no authority to take your life. Crippling your arms is to take revenge for what you did to me." Qin Wentian spoke in a clear voice, sounding righteous. He then turned his gaze to Lin Ba and asked, "Governor Lin, what about you? The Lifire Empyrean has already spared no expense to eliminate dissidents, defying the Realmlord's rules. Do you still want to continue with your mistakes? "
"As the supervisory commander, I will naturally report everything that happened today to the Realmlord. For those who have confessed to their crimes, I have no authority to punish them." Di Tian spoke. Lin Ba glanced at the situation and understood that the situation was already hopeless.
Qin Wentian was too powerful. There was basically no one who could obstruct him.
Although as long as the Lifire Empyrean defeated Jialan Jiangshan, there would still be a chance for him to turn the situation around. However, if he didn't speak now, even before the Lifire Empyrean could determine the victor, Qin Wentian would take his life.
It seemed like he had a choice, but in truth, he had no choice at all. Unless, he wanted to die.
"Governor Qin, I'm only acting on orders. There's no other way." Lin Ba had always felt that Qin Wentian was extraordinary and his relationship with Qin Wentian couldn't be considered as enemies. But since the Lifire Empyrean wanted to deal with him, he had no choice but to cooperate. Lin Ba had never expected that Qin Wentian would oppose the Lifire Empyrean so quickly.
"You guys are so rebellious against the Lifire Empyrean. When the Lifire Empyrean kills Jialan Jiangshan, all of you would be considered traitors and die for sure." A cold voice rang out. It was the Crow Emperor. He knew what would happen if he landed in the hands of Qin Wentian. When he saw that the other experts were prepared to give up, he immediately stood at the back and tried to persuade them, causing the hearts of many to waver.
"You are courting death." A voice rang out in the mind of the Crow Emperor. In the next instant, he saw Qin Wentian's silhouette vanishing. With a swishing sound, the Crow Emperor's body was directly destroyed by a beam of resplendent light. At his location, Qin Wentian appeared, exuding an air of disdain and disdain.
"This man is none other than the person who ignored the deaths of the Jialan Monarch's family members back then in the Jialan Emperor Palace. Although this seat has a grudge with the Jialan Monarch, I can't tolerate such a person's existence." Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
"How did he do it?" Everyone stared at Qin Wentian's silhouette. They couldn't see through him at all. What level has Qin Wentian's current strength reached exactly?
The battles continued but there were also many battlefields that gradually calmed down. Qin Wentian's strength made it so that there was no suspense at all. The outcome was already set. Everything now depended on the battle between the Lifire Empyrean and Jialan Jiangshan!
