Chapter 1635: 1635
Zhuge Xiong and the others understood that Xia Hou was the mastermind . The others here naturally knew it as well . In addition, other than Governor Xia Hou, quite a few other major powers were involved in this as well and they might be among the crowd currently .
At this moment, many people narrowed their eyes . The lively atmosphere at the banquet abruptly fell silent . It was easy to offend people if one spoke out now . Although no one knew who they would offend, it was certain that those powers involved in the matter, were definitely people with powerful backgrounds .
Di Tian played with his wine cup when he saw this scene . He then smiled, "It's fine that nobody wants to express their stances . It's impossible for me to allow this incident of the past to fade away just like this, I'll definitely get to the very bottom of it . It's only that my Emperor Pavilion is still at its development phase and the forces I can muster are still weak . Hence, I might need to borrow some help from all of you . Is there anyone who is willing to support me and my Emperor Pavilion for this matter?"
"How forceful . " Many people silently mused . However, to many people here, this was an opportunity for them to build relations with Di Tian . Hence, although they might offend some people, many people were tempted as they would be able to gain Di Tian's friendship . Now, it would depend on how they would choose .
"My Mo Clan would naturally throw in our full support behind the Emperor Pavilion . Back then, my Mo Clan was also affected by that matter and I feel extremely enraged . Now that Grandmaster Di wants to investigate, I, Mo Ting, will naturally help him out . " The Mo Clan Leader directly expressed his stance .
"If Grandmaster Di needs help, my Jialan Clan is also willing to assist . " Jialan Qiuyue's father, Jialan Cheng, spoke out . Their Jialan Clan definitely had to maintain their good relationship with Di Tian . Di Tian might very well become the most critical person that would help them in their struggle with the Lifire Empyrean for the position of the Lifire Palace Lord .
"I'm also willing to help . " Another person from a major power spoke . After that, more and more people spoke . Even some of those with more ordinary backgrounds in the crowd couldn't help but to give their support when they saw so many major powers speaking up . Almost half of the crowd today directly expressed that they are willing to support Di Tian . "
Di Tian had a smile on his face as he looked at everyone . After that, he turned his gaze towards Zhuge Xiong and the other governors as he stated, "Grand Governor Zhuge, I believe you also know that this matter would impact the various governor manors . Hence, I will need your help . I wonder what you all feel about this?"
Zhuge Xiong stared at Di Tian's dark eyes as he felt his heart shuddered . Truthfully, although he was the Grand Governor, he couldn't compare with Di Tian in terms of status . Di Tian basically didn't even need to care about him .
Di Tian has already domineeringly expressed his stance . He will definitely investigate this matter to the end . As for him now asking for their opinions, it was Di Tian wanting them to choose which side to stand on . Would they choose to stand with him, or would they choose to stand with Xia Hou .
If it was just between Di Tian and Xia Hou, it would be easy to make a choice . The critical thing was that they had to consider the Lifire Empyrean's attitude about this too .
Although the Lifire Empyrean didn't publicly express his stance, he did get Xia Hou to apologize when they were back in the Lifelong Saint Hall . Clearly, he wanted everyone to forget about all these unpleasant matters . But now, Di Tian seemed reluctant to forgive and forget and wanted to investigate this to the end . Since this is the case, things are truly troublesome now .
"Commander Di Tian, I personally agree with you . It's just that Xia Hou is ultimately a governor of our Lifire City . I have no idea about the palace lord's attitude . But if you choose not to intentionally target Xia Hou, I can give you information about the other major powers involved . " Zhuge Xiong transmitted his voice to Di Tian . Di Tian's eyes gleamed sharply as he mused silently at what a crafty old fox Zhuge Xiong was .
Di Tian didn't care about the voice transmission . He directly opened his mouth and spoke, "Grand Governor, I became the supervisory commander of Lifire City on Realmlord's order . I naturally have to execute my duties . Even if this past incident didn't happen to my Emperor Pavilion but some other businesses instead, I would also definitely investigate clearly . Our Lifire City cannot be allowed to have cancerous cells festering within us . Since I already know about this matter, not investigating it would mean that I have let down the Realmlord's love for me . "
Zhuge Xiong silently cursed in his heart . This bastard directly skipped past the Lifire Empyrean and brought out the Realmlord's name once again . Di Tian was truly good at using powerful connections to intimidate people .
In any case, this Di Tian was truly not afraid of the Lifire Empyrean . Back then at the Lifelong Saint Hall's grand banquet, he had already shown how close he was with the Jialan Clan and it was clear that he was now already on their side . Why would Di Tian care about what the Lifire Empyrean thought? The Lifire Empyrean was the one trying to pull Di Tian closer to him instead .
The Realmlord has personally said that as long as Di Tian didn't partake in any act of rebellion, he can do what he wanted to in Lifire City . Nobody would dare to move against him . Not even the Lifire Empyrean would do so .
Right now, he said he wanted to investigate Xia Hou and even brought up the name of the Realmlord, acting in the name of justice . Even if the Lifire Empyrean was here, what could he say? It was impossible that he would choose to offend Di Tian to the death and push him to the Jialan Clan, right?
Zhuge Xiong guessed that most probably, the Lifire Empyrean would allow Di Tian and Xia Hou to do what they want and he wouldn't interfere .
"What do you all think?" Zhuge Xiong glanced at Lin Ba, Beauty Xiao and Yin Qiu . This made Lin Ba and Yin Qiu to curse silently in their hearts . The ball was now in their court .
"I feel that we ought to support Grandmaster Di Tian . Since Grandmaster Di Tian is the supervisory commander, he does have the authority to investigate this matter . In any case, why would us governors of Lifire City have anything to hide?" Lin Ba spoke in a manner that exuded righteousness, causing Zhuge Xiong to feel somewhat surprised . This Lin Ba actually supported Di Tian so much?
However, he understood after thinking deeper into it . Out of the five governors of Lifire City, Qin Wentian was a special existence who already immensely disliked Xia Hou . Other than Qin Wentian, Xia Hou was very powerful, while Lin Ba was slightly below . If Xia Hou falls, Lin Ba's position would instantly be elevated and could also gain Di Tian's friendship . Why would he not support Di Tian? As for Xia Hou, both Di Tian and Qin Wentian wanted to deal with him . He wouldn't last for too long . It didn't matter if he offends him now .
"I also support Grandmaster Di Tian . " Beauty Xiao giggled, expressing her stance with no hesitations, shooting glances filled with charm at Di Tian . Zhuge Xiong thought she wanted to seduce Di Tian and didn't feel anything strange about it .
