Ancient Godly Monarch

Qin Wentian and Di Tian’s combat prowess were something he had personally witnessed those years ago at the grand banquet. Let alone today, even if it was in the past, he wouldn’t be their match. Di Tian and Qin Wentian only depended on their mid-stage immortal emperor cultivation bases then to challenge the other geniuses and experts from the other world palaces in the competition, suppressing all their opponents. Their names shook Lifelong City and the Realmlord heavily rewarded them.

Right now, Qin Wentian’s strength was even stronger. Just that gaze gave him a deep sense of fear. Other than the Lifire Empyrean, no one would be able to kill Qin Wentian.

“Governor Qin, everything is still changing. If you listen to the Palace Lord’s orders now and stand with us, helping us to rout the traitors, you might even have a chance to gain merit and erase your crimes. Don’t forget that the Realmlord once said that as long as you can accumulate a certain amount of merit, he would release Ye Qianyu.” Zhuge Xiong spoke to Qin Wentian. He then continued, “Do not be used by others.”

“You guys directly acted against me, seeking to kill me yet you still have the face to say such things now? Grand Governor Zhuge, your ability to pay lip service is really worthy of admiration.” Qin Wentian spoke.

“Since you remain so stubborn, you only have a path of death before you. Everyone hear my commands, kill the rebels!” Zhuge Xiong waved his hands and spoke. After that, the immortal emperors on his side all launched terrifying law attacks, aiming for Qin Wentian.

“Kill!” The subordinates of Di Tian and Jialan Clan also attacked, as the great battle instantly occurred.

Qin Wentian’s body shimmered with light. A sword-shaped shield manifested around him, allowing the law attacks to blast into it as he remained unmoving.

“Puchi…” A sword emerged from the darkness, gleaming with dark light, radiating a fearsome destructive might. This sword actually directly appeared behind Qin Wentian, aiming to pierce through his back. The suddenness of this attack caused many of the spectators to perspire cold sweat.

There was actually someone in the darkness, hiding in the void. There wasn’t just a single person, but a small group of them. These assassins were all special guards of the Lifire Palace. The moment they acted, they would act like explosive thunder, holding nothing back.

However, when the terrifying sword of darkness brimming with a fearsome destructive might struck Qin Wentian, it had completely no way to pierce into Qin Wentian’s body. The sword pierced into the shield, sinking in bit by bit. There seemed to be a terrifying vortex there, absorbing the sword into it. The assassin tried to pull out the sword but he discovered that he was unable to do so.

“How powerful.” Everyone stared at Qin Wentian. Although Qin Wentian almost died to the Lifire Empyrean’s attack earlier, it was only because his opponent was the Lifire Empyrean. When facing immortal emperors, his dominance could instantly be felt. He allowed his enemies to attack freely but he wasn’t injured at all.

The assassin wanted to retreat. However, Qin Wentian merely tossed a palm out, manifesting a giant palm strike that completely crushed that assassin in a single attack.

“I’ve always done my duty and ensure that the northern city regions are governed by law and disciple, paying their taxes on time. However, I didn’t expect that such a pitiful thing would happen to me. The Palace Lord and Grand Governor actually plotted secretly for my death. You guys even sent out the secret guards to assassinate me. Since you guys want my death so badly, I have no choice but to retaliate.”

Qin Wentian stood in the air, his long robes fluttering in the wind. He seemed to be mumbling to himself, but also seemed to be speaking to everyone.

His voice seemed to contain a magical power, deeply drawing the attention of others. It gave the feeling that if he acted, the moment he retaliated, that moment would be heaven-shattering.

It felt like Qin Wentian had been suppressing himself before this, enduring everything, not wanting to retaliate. But since things came to this now, he finally could endure it no longer.

A fearsome aura radiated from Qin Wentian, causing countless eyes to turn to him.

The northern governor Qin Wentian. Before this, everyone felt that his fate would be death today. Even the other vice governors and attendants of his northern governor’s manor chose to side with the Lifire Empyrean.

However, the reality wasn’t like what everyone had expected. Qin Wentian suffered an attack of overwhelming power by the Lifire Empyrean that was supposed to kill him. Despite so, he survived. Not only that, even Di Tian appeared along with the Jialan Clan.

And as for the main lead that sparked the fuse to this entire situation, Qin Wentian, had now seemingly become nothing but a foil to enhance others. However, would he be willing to become a foil?

Qin Wentian finally wanted to take the initiative to retaliate.

What would the end result be?

Terrifying rumbling sounds rang out. Startling law energy radiated from Qin Wentian, directly permeating the area around him. Qin Wentian stared at Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong. With just a single look, Zhuge Xiong felt like his eyes were about to be pierced from the sharpness of Qin Wentian’s gaze. In the next instant, boundless sword intent enveloped Zhuge Xiong, trapping him in the midst of a sword qi river.

Qin Wentian stood where he was, not moving from his original location. He calmly stared at Zhuge Xiong in the air. At this moment, Zhuge Xiong was completely trapped. It was like as long as Qin Wentian willed it, he would die immediately right here and now.

There were experts from the Lifire Palace that launched attacks at the sword qi river. However, the attack sparked a retaliation that sent out a wave of sword might that drowned the attackers within, instantly killing them all. Immortal emperors actually couldn’t resist the power of his sword intent? All the attackers fell from the air, their corpses slamming upon the ground.

On seeing this scene, Zhuge Xiong trembled as a look of terror appeared on his face. He could sense that right now, he was on the dividing line of life and death.

Was this the retaliation by the northern governor Qin Wentian? In an instant, he forced the Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong into a dead end.

“Grand Governor Zhuge. Let me ask you this. When have I, Qin Wentian, ever offended you, why must you instigate the Palace Lord to frame and kill me?” Qin Wentian’s voice was as sharp as swords. Zhuge Xiong turned pale, he could sense how powerful the sword intent surrounding him was. It seemed that that, wasn’t something he could defend against.

“Qin Wentian, do you really want to head down this path that leads to eternal condemnation?” Zhuge Xiong still harbored some hope in his heart.

Qin Wentian’s eyes shone with a terrifying light. The sword intent flowed, a slashing sound echoed as Zhuge Xiong screamed in pain. His right hand shot out, clutching his left arm. Blood pooled around the area he was in, falling from the air. Zhuge Xiong’s expression was like dead ashes, he felt a bout of dizziness striking him.

How could Qin Wentian be so strong? So strong to the extent that he, the Grand Governor, couldn’t even resist at all.

“Let me ask you again, what crime did I, Qin, commit? Why must you do this to me?” Qin Wentian’s voice rang out, causing Zhuge Xiong to tremble with trepidation. He glanced at the battle between the Lifire Empyrean and Jialan Jiangshan and knew that it was impossible for the Lifire Empyrean to save him. He had a look of despair on his face. If he knew this was the ending, he would never have stepped into this muddy pool of water. Right now, Zhuge Xiong only felt endless regret.

He had always been intelligent but he actually made such a wrong choice then. But, who would have thought that something like this would happen today? The Lifire Palace Lord was the sovereign of this boundlessly vast stretch of territories!

Right now, the position of the Lifire Palace Lord, encountered a challenge.

Zhuge Xiong naturally knew what Qin Wentian wanted to hear. His body shivered, staring at Qin Wentian before he finally spoke, “This has never been my intent. Palace Lord wanted your life. Me, as his subordinate, could only do my best to aid my lord. The death of the Jialan Monarch was a perfect excuse to remove a threat like you.”

“Zhuge Xiong has admitted it…” The hearts of everyone trembled when they heard this. Although he was forced to say this under threat of his life, there was a significance in his words. Right now, out of all the governors of the Lifire Palace, only Lin Ba has not spoken yet.

With a slashing sound, Zhuge Xiong screamed again. His other hand flew through the air as blood splashed onto the ground. He appeared extremely pitiful.

“You bullied me, wanting to kill me. By right, I should kill you but although you are a subordinate of the Lifire Palace, you are still ultimately the Realmlord’s man. As a governor of the Lifire Palace myself, I do not have the authority to take your life. Hence, I’ll cripple both your arms for the sake of my revenge.” Qin Wentian spoke bluntly, like he was acting in the name of justice. He then turned his gaze towards Lin Ba as he asked, “Governor Lin, what about you? The Lifire Empyrean has defied the rules set by the Realmlord, are you going to continue to be in the wrong?”

“As the supervisory commander of the Lifire Palace, I will report this matter to the Realmlord. All those who are guilty will be handed over to his eminence, the Realmlord, to decide the punishment. I don’t have the authority to punish them.” Di Tian spoke out. Lin Ba glanced at the situation before him and understood that everything was already set.

Qin Wentian was too powerful. There was basically no one who could obstruct him.

Although as long as the Lifire Empyrean defeats Jialan Jiangshan, there would still be a chance for everything, he knew that if he didn’t speak out now, Qin Wentian would take his life before the Lifire Empyrean could win against his opponent.

There seemed to be a choice for him but in truth, there was no choice at all. Unless he wished to die.

“Governor Qin, I’m merely following orders, I have no choice.” Lin Ba had always felt that Qin Wentian was extraordinary, and his relationship with Qin Wentian couldn’t be considered bad. But since the Palace Lord wanted to deal with Qin Wentian, he had no choice but to comply. Lin Ba also didn’t expect Qin Wentian would clash against the Lifire Empyrean so quickly.

“You guys all dared to betray the Palace Lord. After he kills Jialan Jiangshan, all of you will become traitors, death is the only path remaining to all of you.” A cold voice rang out. The speaker was none other than the Crow Immortal Emperor. He knew what his fate would be if he landed in Qin Wentian’s hand. When he saw the experts on their side preparing to give up, he immediately shouted out, causing the hearts of many people on his side to waver again.

“You are courting death!” A voice rang out in the Crow Immortal Emperor’s mind. At the next moment, he only saw Qin Wentian’s figure vanishing. With a piercing sound, the Crow Immortal Emperor was directly slain by a beam of radiance. In the next moment, Qin Wentian appeared at the place where he was standing in, projecting an aura of staring down on everything with tyrannical arrogance.

“This man was none other than the Lifire Palace’s expert who was in the Jialan Emperor Palace back then. He ignored the plights of the Jialan Monarch’s family. Although this seat had a grudge with the Jialan Monarch, I cannot stand for the existence of such a man.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke.

“How did he do that?” Everyone stared at Qin Wentian in shock, this man before their eyes grew more and more inscrutable. What level of strength has Qin Wentian reached exactly?

The battle continued, but experts who were fighting, had gradually ceased to do so. Qin Wentian’s dominance made it so that the battles in his surroundings had no suspense. The situation was already set. Everything now depended on the battle between the Lifire Empyrean and Jialan Jiangshan!
