1667 The New Palace Lord (1/2)
Di Tian was only punished slightly, Qin Wentian wasn't even punished and was temporarily granted the post of the grand governor, he now had the authority to manage everything in the Lifire Palace, causing shock to countless people. They were all speculating that it was highly possible for the new Lifire Palace Lord to be Qin Wentian.
After all, Qin Wentian originally was already the northern governor and his talent was extraordinary, able to fight against the Lifire Empyrean solo.
Naturally, the possibility for Di Tian to take over was similarly high. Everything would be dependent on this two. Sometimes, everyone felt that maybe Grandmaster Di Tian didn't ally with Qin Wentian because if Qin Wentian didn't appear, Di Tian would definitely be the new Palace Lord.
Jialan Jiangshan was completely ignored and forgotten. Everyone understood that it was impossible for him to become the new Lifire Palace Lord.
At this moment, at the headquarters of Jialan Clan located in the northern city regions, the atmosphere was somewhat tense. Many people of the Jialan Clan gathered here. Jialan Yuntian sat in the lead seat and asked, ”Any news from the Lifelong Saint Hall?”
”Not yet, everyone is still waiting.” A subordinate replied. ”However, Qin Wentian's possibility of becoming the new Palace Lord is extremely high along with Di Tian. Many people feel that the Realmlord won't directly send his people from the Lifelong Saint Hall to take over but would choose a candidate from the two of them.”
”Hmph.” A cold snort rang out. An elder of the Jialan Clan smashed a table before him and he had an ugly look on his face. ”This time around, our Jialan Clan has been completely played by Di Tian. What a joke, during these ten years of the Emperor Pavilion's development, we put in so much efforts but all of that was for nothing. All our sacrifices and effort turned out to benefit someone else instead.”
Everyone had heavy expressions on their faces. Many people glanced in Jialan Qiuyue's direction only to see her standing up and speaking in a low voice, ”I'm to blame for this matter. I must have been blinded and had implicated the clan.”
”Qiuyue, this matter has nothing to do with you. Before this, it was I who gave the order to befriend and recruit Di Tian.” Jialan Yuntian sighed. ”Actually back then during the grand banquet, I've already sensed that something was amiss. At that time, I was already shocked and filled with wariness. It was just that despite my overestimation, I have still underestimated him. His growth is simply too fast, so fast to the extent that it's unimaginable.”
”That's right, who would have expected for him to breakthrough to the empyrean realm within a mere tens of years? If we knew about it, we would definitely have been more cautious during that last battle. Di Tian hid things too well.” Another person spoke. He then continued, ”What should our attitude be when interacting with him in the future?”
Upon hearing these words, everyone fell silent. That's right, what attitude should they have when interacting with Di Tian in the future?
Although they were used by Di Tian, Di Tian's current status now was extraordinary. Just his strength alone was sufficient to set him apart from everyone. In addition, the Emperor Pavilion's influence now wouldn't be inferior to their Jialan Clan. If they became enemies with Di Tian, they would surely make an extremely terrifying enemy.
”Let's wait for more news first.” Jialan Yuntian sighed softly. Right now, the matters about the Emperor Pavilion already weren't at a level where he could decide things. Only his father, Jialan Jiangshan, could make the decisions.
Other than the Jialan Clan, the experts of the Emperor Pavilion were waiting for news as well. After the battle against the Lifire Empyrean, Di Tian's fame surged to an unprecedented high. Right now, everyone viewed Di Tian like how they would view a god.
Not only them, everyone in Lifire City was waiting. A single thought of the Realmlord would decide who the new Lifire Palace Lord was. This decision would affect the future of the Lifire Palace.
Today, the various governor manor's troops were still stationed around the Lifire Palace. Everyone in the palace couldn't calm down, all extremely nervous. There were also people who were filled with anticipation as they waited for the news. However, for the close aides and relatives of the Lifire Empyrean, they only felt terror and panic. They understood that regardless if it was Qin Wentian or Di Tian who assumed the position of the Lifire Palace Lord, their fates wouldn't be good.
At this moment, a teleportation array within the Lifire Palace suddenly lit up. Resplendent light gleamed, illuminating its surroundings, attracting countless gazes over. Only people from the Lifelong Saint Hall could use this particular teleportation array that was located directly at the center of the Lifire Palace and it was very rare for them to do so. But now, the light from the teleportation array flashed brilliantly, attracting countless gazes over.
From within the teleportation array, a group of figures appeared. They directly soared up into the air as they radiated a sense of majesty. The person in the lead took out a command scroll and slowly opened it, emitting a brilliant radiance that cascaded down on everyone.
Each and every character on the command scroll was incomparably clear, manifesting themselves to be visible to everyone. Next, a person's voice rang out after the characters manifested.
”By command of his eminence, the Lifelong Realmlord, the position of the Lifire Palace Lord will taken by the northern city governor, Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian, accept your orders.” The imposing voice read out the words in the air, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble, pounding wildly.
”Three days later, there will be people from the Lifelong Saint Hall coming here to officiate the ceremony and congratulate Palace Lord Qin. At the same time, the Realmlord has also commanded that a new position would be opened up. The position of the Vice Palace Lord will be given to Grandmaster Di Tian. At the same time, Di Tian shall hold the position of the grand governor as well as supervisory commander.”
As the sound of his voice faded, the entire Lifire Palace was so quiet that it was terrifying. Even a pin falling on the ground could be heard at this moment.
The new Palace Lord was none other than Qin Wentian while Di Tian was the Vice Palace Lord.
Finally, between Qin Wentian and Di Tian, the Lifelong Realmlord had chosen Qin Wentian. But for some reason, he had set up a new position, allowing Di Tian to become the Vice Palace Lord. The meaning behind this was unclear.
But in any case, from today onwards, Qin Wentian would become the Lifire Palace Lord, controlling a boundless stretch of territories with the governors and monarchs under him.
From today onwards, nobody would dare to pursue an investigation about the death of the Jialan Monarch any longer. Even if Qin Wentian really was the killer, no one would dare to say anything. This case has also officially came to an end.
From today onwards, Qin Wentian no longer needed to keep a low profile. He was number one in the Lifire Palace from now on.
”Qin Wentian, any objections?” The person in the lead reading out the royal edict gazed down at the figure in white who was none other than Qin Wentian.
