Chapter 1656: Head-on Opposition

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian floated in the air, staring at the experts of the Lifire Empyrean. He then turned his gaze to Zhuge Xiong and coldly spoke, “Governor Zhuge, what crime did I commit?”

His voice was extremely calm but Zhuge Xiong felt his heart shaking. For some reason, Qin Wentian actually gave off an unknown sense of pressure, an extremely powerful pressure.

“We will talk about this matter after we return to the Lifire Palace. The Palace Lord commands you to bring all your vice governors and attendants and return with me. Governor Qin, it’s best to obey the order.” Zhuge Xiong’s voice was no longer as domineering as before. The calm Qin Wentian actually made him feel even more terrified. If Qin Wentian suddenly erupted, it was unknown whether he would be in danger or not.

“Today, leaving aside the fact whether I, Qin, have committed any crimes, why is Governor Zhuge humiliating my men and destroying my property so blatantly? I’m afraid if I return there with you, I will never be able to exit.” Qin Wentian stood with his hands behind his back. His white robes fluttered in the wind, projecting a majestic aura, causing the eyes of everyone to gleam. This was as expected of the governor of the northern city regions, Qin Wentian.

Even if they had numerous experts with them and Zhuge Xiong was here to capture him to the Lifire Palace, all these didn’t cause Qin Wentian’s expression to fluctuate at all. Instead, it felt like if Zhuge Xiong was unable to give him a proper reply, there was no need for him and the experts he brought here to leave.

“In that case, does this mean the Palace Lord’s commands are useless against you?” Zhuge Xiong’s voice turned cold after being threatened.

“If I’m not guilty of any crime, even the Palace Lord cannot humiliate me like this and destroy my property.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke.

“Oh?” A tyrannical voice rang out from the void, its might shaking the sky. In an instant, the vast northern city region was subjected to a stifling pressure. Countless people were shocked, they all stared up at the sky but couldn’t see anything. Even their immortal sense was unable to discover anyone at all. They could only feel that terrifying pressure.

At this moment, all of them understood that the Lifire Empyrean had personally come.

What did the northern governor Qin Wentian do exactly? Why was the Lifire Empyrean personally here?

Zhuge Xiong’s expression was ice-like. A beautiful figure behind him, Beauty Xiao, her face was painted with worry. Could it be that this fellow wanted to clash head-on with the Palace Lord? Didn’t he know that this was simply courting death?

Qin Wentian also inclined his head, his eyes peering into the void. He naturally knew who had come. He had long expected that the Lifire Empyrean would surely personally come by. Because, other than Lifire Empyrean, none of his other subordinates would be able to capture him, Qin Wentian.

“Qin Wentian, I’m commanding you to go to the Lifire Palace right now. Are you going to obey or not?” The Lifire Empyrean coldly spoke as the might rolling off from him bore down on Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian stood up straight and proud. He replied arrogantly, “Palace lord, please make things clear then. What crime has this subordinate committed exactly? Why are you humiliating me like this?”

“You just have to reply, are you going to obey, or not?” The Lifire Empyrean domineering replied, not wanting to waste words.

Qin Wentian stood there, “I regret that I cannot comply.”

“The vice governors and attendants of the northern governor manor, are you guys going to obey my command or not?” The Lifire Empyrean asked. A moment later, other than a few of those who had been following Qin Wentian since the time of Ye Qianyu being captured, the other vice governors and attendants were all trembling with fear.

Do they need to make a choice?

Although their governor was the magnificent Qin Wentian, the person asking them was none other than the Lifire Empyrean, the hegemon over this boundlessly vast region, the Palace Lord of the Lifire Palace.

“Your subordinates will obey Palace Lord’s command.”

“We are all willing to head to the Lifire Palace.” An instant later, more and more people spoke out as their silhouettes flashed, moving towards Zhuge Xiong’s side. Qin Wentian’s other subordinates stared at this scene dumbfoundedly, they glanced at Qin Wentian again. They had always treated this imposing lord governor like a God. However, was this existence akin to a divinity to them, about to collapse today?

Qin Wentian had done something that enraged the Lifire Empyrean.

The atmosphere was incomparably tense. The hearts of Qin Wentian’s subordinates pounded rapidly. During these years, Qin Wentian was their belief and conviction. No one had expected that such a thing would occur.

“Qin Wentian, this seat is going to ask you for the last time. Will you obey or not?” The domineering voice of the Lifire Empyrean thundered through the air. Qin Wentian was still as calm as ever. He stared into the void and replied, “I’d rather die than to be humiliated.”

“Since this is the case, I’ll grant you your wish.” At the next instant, an even heavier pressure enveloped the surroundings. Flames filled the air, bolts of red lightning rained down. This was like a scene of the apocalypse, shaking the hearts of everyone.

After that, a thunderous rumble shook the sky, threatening to rend one’s eardrums. In the air, a blazing giant palm descended from the sky. At this moment, it seemed that the entire world was about to be destroyed.

Below on the ground, countless people trembled in fear as they started to retreat in a frenzy. Zhuge Xiong and the others evaded. This giant palm was like a natural calamity, shooting right towards Qin Wentian, controlled by the Lifire Empyrean’s law will.

A brilliant radiance radiated from Qin Wentian, creating a domain where buddhic light flared. A countless number of arms manifested, brimming with power as they welcomed the arrival of the giant palm attack. A sense of sorrow seem to tinge the atmosphere. It was clear that he should have just obeyed, but Qin Wentian chose death over humiliation.

The luxurious governor’s manor laid in ruins. Qin Wentian’s attacks all blasted towards the palm strike. Everyone watched in a dumbstruck manner at this scene before them. The Lifire Empyrean actually wanted to destroy Qin Wentian in a single strike, not giving him any chance at all.

When that apocalyptic palm landed, a fearsome explosion rang out. Everyone felt the ground trembling as a huge crater opened up. This crater still wanted a sense of fiery destruction. The ground turned red from the heat of the flaming palm. Lines and cracks could be seen on the ground as everyone waited for the dust to settle. Was the magnificent Qin Wentian really going to die so easily just like that?

If he really died, wouldn’t it seem like a joke?

Also, this was extremely cruel. Such an outstanding and extraordinary governor but he died just like this. Before absolute strength, no matter how outstanding your talent is, it’s nothing but floating clouds. No wonder those supreme monstrous geniuses who have yet to grown were no different from commoners before those of the older generations. So what if your talent is very high? I can kill you easily the moment you offend me. You won’t even have a chance to grow and mature.

But at this moment, a light sound rang out. After that, a figure walked out from the deep crater in the ground. The white robes of the figure were stained red by his blood. He cut a sorry figure but his demeanor was as imposing as ever as he stared arrogantly up the sky.

This strike actually failed to kill him.

In the air, the stifling pressure once again enveloped the surroundings, in preparation for the second killing strike.

“Palace lord, what are you doing?” At this moment, a voice drifted from afar. After that, terrifying sonic booms sounded out as a group of figures appeared in the air.

The one in the lead was a figure robed in black. He had a mask on his face and was someone of equal fame with Qin Wentian. He was none other than the weaponsmith grandmaster, genius of the martial path, supervisory commander, Emperor Pavilion’s pavilion lord, Di Tian.

Not only has Di Tian arrived, he also brought many experts with him, over tens of immortal emperors. The strength of their group actually wasn’t in anyway inferior to the group from the Lifire Palace. Upon thinking of the latest rumor that Di Tian had decided to fall out with the Lifire Empyrean, all the spectators in the surroundings had an intrigued look on their faces.

Was Di Tian planning to ally with the Jialan Clan to clash against the Lifire Empyrean head-on?

Di Tian actually appeared at this moment. For a period of time, more and more experts appeared from various directions, rushing towards here. Other than the experts, the citizens of the city also came here, they wanted to see the eventual ending of this incident.

Zhuge Xiong frowned when he saw Di Tian’s appearance. This fellow actually appeared here at this moment.

“Di Tian, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave quickly.” Zhuge Xiong stared at Di Tian as he spoke.

“What crime did Governor Qin commit. Why must Palace Lord kill him on the spot?” Di Tian stared at the air as he directly questioned.

“Do I need to answer to you?” An imposing voice rang out from the void. The Lifire Empyrean was already extremely unhappy towards Di Tian. Right now, Di Tian even dared to question him.

“The Palace Lord naturally needs not answer to me. It’s just that I received news saying that Palace Lord wants to frame and kill Governor Qin. I initially assumed that this news is false. What sort of character is the Palace Lord, how would he make a move against Governor Qin? But now, I’ve seen it with my own eyes that this is true. Hence, I have to ask that question.” Di Tian calmly replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

“Qin Wentian disobeyed the Palace Lord. This crime alone is already sufficient.” Zhuge Xiong coldly spoke. “Governor Qin also dared to sully the Palace Lord by speaking untruth. This is a major crime.”

“Disobedience?” Di Tian glanced at Qin Wentian and asked, “Governor Qin, is this true?”

“If the Palace Lords wants to kill me, just say it directly. Why is there a need for so much excuses? I entered close-door seclusion upon my return and grand governor Zhuge Xiong immediately killed his way over the next day and destroyed my manor, forcing me to awake from my seclusion and followed up by saying that I commited a great crime yet he refused to say what it is. He wants to bring me back to the Lifire Palace. I really want to ask the Palace Lord how can this be considered disobedience?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke.

“Shut up.” The Lifire Empyrean berated. After that, he turned to Di Tian. “Commander Di, I know you are exercising your duty as the supervisory commander. However, Qin Wentian had committed an unpardonable crime. I naturally will report this up to the Lifelong Saint Hall. There’s no need for you to worry about this. You can retreat for now.”

“I initially thought the news was fake. However, since Palace Lord can’t even give a name to the supposed crime governor Qin has committed, I, as the supervisory commander, naturally cannot stand aside. I hope Palace Lord will show mercy and allow me to report this up to the Lifelong Saint Hall for further investigation.” Di Tian came here precisely for this matter. He had also waited for a very long time. How could he leave here just like that?

“This seat controls the Lifire Palace and is apprehending a guilty subordinate here. Do I even need your approval?” The pressure in the air intensified, terrifying to the extreme. The fearsome aura bore down on Di Tian. It was like the Lifire Empyrean was on the verge of an explosion. If his anger erupted, he might even act against Di Tian.

“Palace lord, you can’t even name the crime he has committed. Seems like the news I received was real. In order to kill Governor Qin, you actually misused your power to such an extent. I, Di, am loved by the Realmlord and will naturally follow his orders and do my job well as the supervisory commander of the Lifire Palace. This matter is too serious. I have no choice but to interfere.”

After being threatened by the Lifire Empyrean, Di Tian’s voice actually became even more tyrannical, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. They felt that the situation was getting more and more unclear!
