The sealing might in the air dissipated . The sky that was streaked with red lifire, also reverted to its normal color . The Lifire Grand Formation fell to silence, no longer providing bursts of energy, sending it over to here .
Under the sunlight, a cool breeze could be felt, alleviating the warm temperature, causing everyone's hair to flutter .
However, at this moment, Lifire City had completely changed . Countless people were gathered here at the northern city regions but there was only dead silence . Their gazes all turned to a certain direction, the direction where the Lifire Empyrean vanished, which was also the location where Qin Wentian stood arrogantly .
His long robes fluttered with the wind, Qin Wentian quietly stood in the air . His aura had dissipated but it did nothing to mask his absolute magnificence . After everyone saw this scene, they understood that even without Di Tian, Qin Wentian alone was sufficient to win against the Lifire Empyrean . Maybe, it might not be as easy for him to do so, but the final ending wouldn't change .
This domineering governor was the symbol of faith and conviction for the northern governor's manor . He was as glorious as he was in the past . He might only appear in the vision of the public rarely but every time he did so, he would definitely cause earth-shattering levels of commotion . The commotion this time would surely sweep over the boundlessly vast territories controlled by the Lifire Palace, in addition to rocking many places in the Lifelong Realm .
This battle would become a battle that proclaimed him as a god, far more impressive compared to the competition between the nine world palaces at the grand banquet years ago .
In this battle, he killed the Lifire Empyrean .
The troops of the northern governor's manor stared at the figure in white who was standing in the air and their gazes were filled with awe, like they were looking upon a god . They thought that this governor whom they respected, would surely die today . Who would have expected such a situation?
From this moment onwards, the reverence in their hearts towards Qin Wentian was like the reverence towards a divinity .
Jialan Jiangshan and the others of the Jialan Clan stared at the figure in white whose magnificence knew no bounds . The Jialan Clan had tried to sue for peace with Qin Wentian multiple times but it has always been rejected . They felt that Qin Wentian was far too proud and didn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth . However, what about now?
Their Jialan Clan used all sorts of methods, wanting to knock the Lifire Empyrean down from his position . Today, the Lifire Empyrean finally fell . Not only did he fall from his position, he was even killed in public and their Jialan Clan had participated in that . However, none of them felt any joy or excitement . Instead, they felt a sense of worry pressing down on their hearts .
Today, everyone thought that this would be a battle where Di Tian allied with the Jialan Clan to take down the Lifire Empyrean . However, the situation that occurred clearly surpassed everyone's imagination . What secrets were there within this exactly? Nobody knew anything . Even the Jialan Clan couldn't see through the murk .
They didn't know what would happen after the Lifire Empyrean had died . What attitude would the Realmlord have? Who would be the new Lifire Palace Lord?
Nobody could be sure but no matter what, there's no doubt that the possibility of Jialan Jiangshan becoming the new palace lord was extremely slim . Because, during the gambling battle, their Jialan Clan was being made use of like chess pieces and Jialan Jiangshan himself was even defeated . After being made use of in addition to being a loser, would he have the qualifications to become the Lifire Palace Lord? Would he have the qualifications to win the Realmlord's trust? Would the Realmlord use such a man and incur the ridicules and gossips of others?
The people of the Emperor Pavilion stared at Di Tian . To this pavilion lord of theirs, they were filled with adoration and worship . He and Qin Wentian could definitely stand alongside with each other as equals . Also, no matter what secrets were hidden in the situation today, there was no doubt that their pavilion lord Di Tian had guided everything . He was truly a spiritual character of their Emperor Pavilion .
Zhuge Xiong's arms were crippled . He stared at everything as he sighed in his heart . He had always been intelligent but had still fallen so low today . Everything, was because of a single person - Qin Wentian .
Who would have expected that he actually grew so strong to this extent in just the blink of an eye? If they could predict this, the Lifire Empyrean back then wouldn't have made use of Qin Wentian at all, he would directly finish him off .
However, no matter what everyone else thought, the Qin Wentian now didn't feel any joy from the victory . He turned his glance over to the location where Beauty Xiao vanished . It was a long time before he spoke again .
. . .
From the deactivation of the Lifire Grand Formation as well as the vanishing of the reddened sky, everyone in Lifire City knew that the battle had already ended . They just didn't know what the ending was like .
Who was it that could force the Lifire Empyrean to such an extent in Lifire City?
Right now, for those who dared to challenge the palace lord's prestige should have been dead already, right?
The Lifire Empyrean had personally acted, dying the sky red with the activation of the grand formation . How could his opponents still be alive?
At this moment, a voice rang out in the minds of quite a few people . After that, they took out their messaging crystal and started to converse . Swiftly after, a thunderbolt roared in their minds, causing their hearts to be filled with endless shock .
"The Emperor Pavilion Lord, Supervisory Commander Di Tian, had joined forces with Northern Governor Qin Wentian and killed the Lifire Empyrean in the airspace above the northern governor's manor!"
This news, once circulated around, shocked the entire world . The news spread at a terrifying speed, soon even travelling beyond the territories of the Lifire Palace .
An earthquake-level commotion shook the entire Lifire City as countless people obtained the news . The Lifire Empyrean led his troops under a circumstance where there were no proof, wanting to frame and kill Governor Qin Wentian . However, Di Tian and the Jialan Clan arrived to stop the Lifire Empyrean . Both sides started fighting and as the grand battle started, the Lifire Empyrean activated the Lifire Grand Formation and defeated Jialan Jiangshan .
At this moment, the northern governor Qin Wentian suddenly erupted forth with empyrean-level strength . At the end, he joined forces with Di Tian to finish the Lifire Empyrean off .
Everyone in Lifire City came to a realization . The skies of Lifire City were changing .
The people in the Lifire Palace naturally also received this news . When they learned that the Lifire Empyrean had fallen, their hearts were completely stunned before terror and despair appeared on their faces . This was especially so after they knew that the Lifire Empyrean had used Beauty Xiao to threaten Qin Wentian, which eventually led to this ending . They instantly contacted the Lifelong Saint Hall and many people rushed to the teleportation array inside the palace and teleported to Lifelong City directly .
. . .
The speed which the Lifelong Saint Hall received news wasn't any slower than the Lifire Palace . In the Lifelong Saint Hall, the Lifelong Realmlord was currently sitting inside a great hall as he heard the reports . He learned that both Qin Wentian and Di Tian had broken through to the empyrean realm and had even joined forces to easily crush the Lifire Empyrean . Even he couldn't help but feel startled . He, who was a world overlord, naturally had seen many geniuses before . But even so, he was shocked .
This time around, there were two extraordinary geniuses that actually appeared in Lifire City . Also, these two were individuals he met before . They had both displayed their brilliance in the grand banquet hosted those years ago . Who would have thought that in a mere tens of years, they were actually already capable of pulling the Lifire Empyrean down from his throne .
"What do you all think?" After hearing all the reports, the Realmlord glanced at the experts before him as he asked .
"This subordinate feels that everything is nothing but a scene directed by supervisory commander Di Tian . Realmlord, you personally conferred to him his position . He is truly an extraordinary character with formidable methods . Even that crafty old fox Jialan Jiangshang and the entire force of the Jialan Clan were used by him as chess pieces . What's even more ridiculous is that the Jialan Clan still thought this was an opportunity for them, feeling that Di Tian has fallen for their young miss, Jialan Qiuyue . The entire Jialan Clan was played for fools by Di Tian . " A person laughed .
"Not only the Jialan Clan, before Di Tian revealed his strength, everyone was ignorant about this . This move by him pulled the wool over everyone's eyes . They felt that he was helping the Jialan Clan to seize power, collaborating with them to deal with the Lifire Empyrean . Who would have thought that he had such ambitions, stirring up things on both sides, eventually allowing him to become the fisherman that benefits from the troubled waters . " Another person stated .
"In that case, what about Qin Wentian?" The Lifelong Realmlord asked . "Did Di Tian join forces with Qin Wentian? Is there some secret plot between them?"
"Maybe, but at the very least from the surface, we have no idea how strong Di Tian is exactly . If his strength alone wasn't sufficient to deal with the Lifire Empyrean, it's very possible that he had already made a secret arrangement with Qin Wentian . If not, after the Lifire Empyrean defeated Jialan Jiangshan, things would be extremely dire for them if they failed to deal with the Lifire Empyrean . "
"Logical . I also felt that Di Tian did so . He is the mastermind behind everything . What a character . " A person at the side nodded .
"Isn't he a little too scheming? His relationship with the Jialan Clan cannot be considered bad but he ruthlessly used them for the sake of ascension . He is a man that is determined to get what he seeks by fair or foul means . " Another person shook his head in disapproval .
"Isn't such a thing very normal? For someone of his abilities, intelligence and talent, how is he willing to serve under others?"
"That's true . For people like him, if we use him well, he can be a sword that kills our enemies . But if we don't use it well, he would turn into a sword that hurt ourselves . Di Tian is a double-edged sword . "
Everyone was deep in discussion, they didn't specifically state Di Tian's purpose as there was no need to do so as well . Such deep schemes and with so many arrangements . Other than obtaining the Lifire Palace Lord's position, what else could he want?
"Realmlord, what do you think?" Everyone turned their gazes to the Lifelong Realmlord only to see him laughing, "Let's wait for them to come here and seek forgiveness before making a decision . "
Everyone nodded . Very swiftly, someone came to report that there were people from the Lifire Palace who were begging for an audience . , The Lifelong Realmlord directly rejected it .
The winner becomes king while the losers were vilified . The Lifire Empyrean was the hegemon of a stretch of territories but was actually killed by his own subordinates . Can he expect the Lifelong Realmlord to clean up after him? What status did the Realmlord have? He naturally didn't have the time nor inclination to do such things .
Although the Lifire Empyrean was the hegemon of a boundlessly vast region and had a high status, to him, the Lifire Empyrean was nothing but a subordinate . If this subordinate died for him, he could make arrangements to clean things up . However, the Lifire Empyrean died so pathetically despite trying to frame and kill one of his own subordinates . Since this is the case, since he died, just let him be dead . He will simply find a more capable person to take over the Lifire Palace Lord's position .
Right right now, he did have candidates to choose from . The victors of this battle had clearly proven that they were more outstanding than the Lifire Empyrean .
Just like what the Lifelong Realmlord had predicted, Di Tian, the Jialan Clan, and Qin Wentian all quickly came to the Lifelong Saint Hall to beg for an audience with him . The purpose of their arrival was naturally to seek forgiveness for their crimes .
After killing one of the nine world palace lords that was his direct subordinate, they naturally had to give him an explanation!
