Jin Qiuyue’s beautiful eyes froze, staring at Di Tian with trepidation.
This Di Tian wanted to touch the Lifire Empyrean’s position?
Isn’t that too audacious? In addition, did Di Tian really have such capabilities?
The Lifire Empyrean was, after all, an empyrean character, who’s at the half-step world overlord realm. It’s said that he has already gainedprehension over a hint of world energy. Although he hasn’t acted for many years, there was no need to doubt that his strength was extremely strong.
Di Tian wants to touch the Lifire Empyrean’s position? That’s nothing more than a foolish dream.
“What do you mean by that exactly?” Jin Qiuyue stared at Di Tian as she asked.
“Isn’t it true that your Jin n has always been against the Lifire Empyrean? Now, I know that the Lifire Empyrean will soon make a mistake. We can use this chance to deal him a heavy blow but naturally, I would need the Jin n to cooperate with me.” Di Tian exined.
“What kind of mistake.” Jin Qiuyue asked.
“You should know about Governor Qin, right?” Di Tian nced at her and continued, “Back then when the Jin Monarch had died, many people suspected him. Right now, the Lifire Empyrean wants to make an issue out of this, he is prepared to act first before reporting up to the Lifelong Saint Hall and is nning to kill Qin Wentian.”
“Qin Wentian has obtained the Realmlord’s favor in the grand banquet those years ago, performing admirably during thepetition between the world pces. Could it be that the Lifire Empyrean has obtained some evidence to prove that Qin Wentian really is the killer?” A cold light shed in Jin Qiuyue’s eyes. No matter what, the Jin Monarch was her uncle.
“I’m not sure about that. I only know that the Lifire Empyrean secretly gathered all the governors and is secretly plotting to lure Qin Wentian back to the Lifire Pce to kill him first before he reports it up to the Realmlord. The Lifire Empyrean doesn’t want Qin Wentian to be alive. From my spy, the Lifire Empyrean has no evidence at all. If the Realmlord knows how little regard the Lifire Empyrean has for him, what would he think?” Di Tian replied.
“You actually have spies beside the Lifire Empyrean? What are you nning exactly? Could it be that you acting against Yin Qiu is nothing but to pave the way forward?” Jin Qiuyue felt that Di Tian was growing more and more mysterious to her.
“How is my rtionship with you?” Di Tian nced at her. Although she could only see his eyes, Jin Qiuyue felt her heart pounding as a blush of shyness appeared on her face.
“How is my rtionship with the Jin n?” Di Tian continued. “The Lifire Empyrean has long been wary of me. Just because he suspects Qin Wentian, he is already prepared to finish him off without proof. In that case, what about me? I will be a second Qin Wentian the moment he finds an excuse to act against me. But things would be different if the Jin n can get the position of the Lifire Pce Lord. Given the rtionship between your n and me, I naturally would prefer Jin Jiangshan to be the Lifire Pce Lord.”
“Oh, so you know this? Why don’t you marry into my Jin n now, I can rmend a young miss of our n to you.” Jin Qiuyue giggled as she teased. Di Tian perspired cold sweat, to think that this Jin Qiuyue was still thinking about such things now. He hurriedly continued, “Qiuyue, this matter is considered as meying my cards out against the Lifire Empyrean. I also have no way to predict how the situation would go. You should inform your n members and if the Jin n has no wish to make use of this opportunity, just pretend that I didn’t say anything. I will simply be more low-profile in the future. As for Qin Wentian, since he dies, he dies.”
“Fine, I’ll go now.” Jin Qiuyue nodded and left the area. Upon seeing her departing back, Di Tian sighed. Since the Jin Monarch had died, in truth, he no longer had any grudge with the Jin n. But for this matter, he had no choice but to make use of the Jin n, and to make use of Jin Qiuyue’s feelings for him. He felt some guilt in doing so.
But when he thought of Ye Qianyu, as well as Beiming Youhuang being trapped in the Lifelong Saint Hall, he had no choice but to do this. He had to gain more power and status or he wouldn’t even be able to have the opportunity toe in contact with Ye Qianyu and Beiming Youhuang.
...
The Lifire Empyrean personally told the governors to check for their own wrong-doings and strictly enforced the rules of each city region. If they were guilty of using their own official positions for personal benefits in the past, as long as they admitted it, they would be given a light punishment. All the governors naturally understood the Lifire Empyrean’s intentions and all of them plead guilty to the Lifire Empyrean and this matter was simply brushed off just like that. At the very least, on paper, the Lifire Empyrean had already handled the matter. There was nothing Di Tian could do even if he wanted to try something.
When this news circted out, many people felt shocked in their hearts. Clearly, the Lifire Empyrean was opposing Di Tian by doing this. After Di Tian captured Yin Qiu, the Lifire Empyrean didn’t say anything and told his governors to check for their own wrongdoings and he will handle it. To a pce lord, this clearly was a humiliating matter but he still did so. From this, one could very well tell how bad the rtionship between the Lifire Empyrean and Grandmaster Di Tian was.
During these few days, Grandmaster Di frequently went to the Jin n as a guest. Jin Qiuyue would also go to the Emperor Pavilion to look for him regrly. Everyone understood that Di Tian, ultimately has chosen to side with the Jin n. He wanted to help the Jin n to deal with the Lifire Empyrean.
So, he finally couldn’t escape the beauty trap. Seems like Jin Qiuyue has finally taken down this outstanding supervisorymander and weaponsmithing grandmaster.
And during this sensitive period, Zhuge Xiong actually received Qin Wentian’s reply from his messaging crystal. ording to Qin Wentian, he had entered one of the mines to temper himself and had ced his interspatial ring and other belongings in a secret ce, including his messaging crystal. This was why he couldn’t reply until now. Qin Wentian asked if there was anything the matter that Zhuge Xiong was looking for him for?
There seemed to be no problem. Zhuge Xiong told Qin Wentian to make haste to return as many things had happened in the Lifire Pce. The pce lord wanted to summon him for a meeting many times but Qin Wentian was nowhere to be found. Qin Wentian then replied that he would rush back immediately. Zhuge Xiong also felt more at ease. Seems like there should not be much trouble with regards to getting Qin Wentian to return.
It’s just that even before they settled Qin Wentian’s matter, the problem of Di Tian and the Jin n had already jumped out. This made him felt somewhat gloomy.
After the Lifire Empyrean knew of this, he naturally told Qin Wentian toe to the Lifire Pce the moment he came back. After that, he nned to question him, take him down, and execute him on the spot, using the crime of killing the Jin Monarch as the excuse. The Lifire Empyrean felt that it was best to kill Qin Wentian now to prevent any future trouble.
Since he had already decided to do this, the Lifire Empyrean naturally would be extremely decisive. He would definitely not be soft-hearted.
Finally, Qin Wentian returned to the Lifire Pce’s territories today, back to the governor’s manor of the northern city regions.
“Wentian, Zhuge Xiong came by here many times personally, asking me about your location. I’ve transmitted the messages to you.” The Evil Emperor instantly spoke up when he saw Qin Wentian’s return.
“I know, I also know why he is looking for me, hence I didn’t reply you.” Xu Li, is everything fine during this period of time that I’ve been away? Any huge incidents that would disrupt the normal operations, etc?” Qin Wentian asked. In his northern city regions, he didn’t want to give his enemies any excuses to turn things to their advantages.
As long as his region had no problems, it wouldn’t be so easy for the Lifire Empyrean to touch him. If the Lifire Empyrean still chooses to do so, it would be the Lifire Empyrean’s problem then.
“No.” Xu Li shook his head. “Everything in the northern city regions has been running smoothly.”
“Good. I’m entering closed-door seclusion. If the grand governor or otherse by to ask, tell them I’m entering a life-and-death one because I’m about to breakthrough. Nobody is to disturb me. Remember, no matter who is it, or what is the reason, no one is to disturb me.” Qin Wentian instructed.
“About to breakthrough?” The eyes of the Evil Emperor and Xu Li shed with sharpness.
He was about to breakthrough so quickly?
The two of them exchanged mutual nces, both of them felt difficult to mask the shock in their hearts. They all knew what cultivation base Qin Wentian had those years ago. How many years has it only been then? Is he already about to enter the legendary empyrean realm?
If they knew that Qin Wentian had already broken through, it was unknown what they would think.
Qin Wentian instructed them like this because he wanted to tell them that when the people from the Lifire Pce came by, they better take their actions fast because he was about to break through to the empyrean realm. If the Lifire Pce dys, things would be extremely troublesome if they want to deal with him in the future.
Qin Wentian decisively entered closed-door seclusion. The Lifire Pce soon received news that Qin Wentian has returned.
As the northern city governor, how could Qin Wentian be so naive? He knew that the Lifire Pce would immediately know the moment he entered his governor’s manor. It was impossible that the northern governor’s manor didn’t have a few spies of the Lifire Pce mixed within his subordinates. If not, the Lifire Empyrean back then wouldn’t have not suspected him in the Jin Monarch’s death. Clearly, one of the spies had reported that he or she had seen him leaving the governor’s manor muchter after the Jin Monarch’s death.
Hence, during the second day, the Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong personally came to the western governor manor. The Evil Emperor and vice governor Xu Li personally weed him.
“Why? Did Governor Qin not hear my words? He hasn’t been to the Lifire Pce for so many years and actually chose to enter seclusion the instant he returned?” Zhuge Xiong was clearly extremely unhappy. He then continued speaking, “Tell him toe out immediately and return with me to the Lifire Pce.”
“Grand Governor, please calm your rage. Governor Qin has told us that none of us are to disturb him during this crucial time of his cultivation. No matter who it is, or what matter it is, we are not allowed to disturb his cultivation or we would all be guilty.” Xu Li respectfully replied.
“What crucial time during cultivation? Does he dare to disobey the pce lord’s orders?” Zhuge Xiong stared at Xu Li. “Are you nning to disobey it as well?”
“Governor Qin has never mentioned anything about the pce lord’s orders, he shouldn’t know anything about that. If he did, he would definitely have headed to the Lifire Pce first.” Xu Li exined. He then continued, “Also, before Governor Qin entered seclusion, he said that he was about to break through to the empyrean realm. At this time, no matter what matter is happening, this subordinate dares not be the one to disturb him. If I dyed Governor Qin’s breakthrough, I wouldn’t be able to answer for it.”
Zhuge Xiong’s eyes shed with sharpness after he heard that. “Governor Qin really said that?”
“This subordinate dares not lie to the grand governor. That’s what Governor Qin has said, he’s currently in a closed-door seclusion session that’s extremely crucial as he is about to break through. No matter who it is, or what is the matter, no one is to disturb him.” Xu Li solemnly replied. Zhuge Xiong narrowed his eyes as a look of contemtion appeared on his face.
Qin Wentian was actually about to breakthrough? What a fast cultivation speed he had.
“Since this is the case, I’ll return and report this to the Pce Lord first.” Zhuge Xiong left with his unhappiness. Xu Li watched as he vanished, before ncing to the Evil Emperor as he spoke, “Why do I feel that something big is about to happen?”
The Evil Emperor narrowed his eyes. Qin Wentian entered closed-door seclusion the moment he returned and Zhuge Xiong arrived here almost immediately, wanting him to go to the Lifire Pce. Not only that, Zhuge Xiong’s attitude was extremely domineering. This was something that has never happened before.
Also, from Qin Wentian’s reactions, it was like he already knew Zhuge Xiong woulde here, hence he gave the order that no one was to disturb him when he is in the closed-door seclusion. In that case, this means that Qin Wentian was intentionally avoiding Zhuge Xiong.
“Yes, a storm ising.” The Evil Emperor spoke, his eyes gleaming with an evil light.
