Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1667: The New Palace Lord

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

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.

“This subordinate Qin Wentian, humbly thanks the Realmlord for his gratitude. I’ll do my best to manage the Lifire Palace’s territories on behalf of his eminence.” Qin Wentian bowed and respectfully spoke. He felt very surprised, he initially thought that the position of the Lifire Palace Lord wouldn’t be his but Di Tian’s instead. Although that didn’t matter because they were both the same person, this still caught him by surprise.

The Lifelong Realmlord actually gave him this World Palace Lord’s position. Could it be that his attitude has changed?

“Palace Lord Qin, three days later, you should organize a ceremony. We will come here again then. Also, over at the Realmlord’s side, he has prepared a surprise for you.” That person smiled, changing his salutation of Qin Wentian, calling him Palace Lord Qin instead of Governor Qin now.

“This subordinate has no way to repay the Realmlord for his kindness.” Qin Wentian was as courteous as ever. No matter what considerations or intents the Realmlord has, Qin Wentian couldn’t act too arrogantly. On the contrary, he had to proceed even more cautiously now.

“Farewell then, you should settle the remnant matters here in Lifire City. See you three days later.” That person bade farewell and led his men back to the teleportation array as they departed the Lifire Palace.

After the people from the Lifelong Saint Hall left, everyone inclined their heads and stared at the figure in white. That figure exuding boundless magnificence seemed to be even more imposing now. The him now not only has extraordinary strength, at the same time, he also had a transcendent status as well as immense authority.

“Your subordinates pays respect to Palace Lord.”

“We pay respect to Palace Lord.”

Only to see the subordinates of the northern governor’s manor all kneeling with one knee as their eyes were filled with respect and reverence while they paid their respect to Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian had always been the source of their faith and conviction. Now, this governor of theirs had become the new Lifire Palace Lord.

After that, more and more experts knelt. Out of the massive crowd inside the Lifire Palace, over half knelt to pay their respects in sincerity.

“Your subordinates pay our respects to Palace Lord.”

At this moment, even the nine monarchs were bowing as they paid their respects. Although they didn’t kneel, they still bowed low in an incomparably respectful manner. Even if they might have dissent in their hearts, none of them dared to express it. After all, from now onwards, Qin Wentian would be the one who controls their fate.

“The nine monarchs, hear my commands.” Qin Wentian swept his gaze at them and spoke.

“We are here.” The nine monarchs respectively replied, staring at Qin Wentian. They didn’t expect Qin Wentian would give a command so soon after he became the Lifire Palace Lord.

“During these few days, there has been a bunch of people in the Lifire Palace conspiring against me, attempting to plot a rebellion. The nine of you go and investigate who this group of people is. After that, split them up into smaller groups and send them to excavate in the mines under your control.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. The close aides and family of the Lifire Empyrean all paled. They naturally understood that they were the group of people Qin Wentian was talking about.

The victor becomes king while the losers would be vilified. Now that Qin Wentian had became the Lifire Palace Lord, how would he show mercy to them? Let alone the fact that everyone knew how Beauty Xiao had died.

“We hear and obey.” The nine monarchs instantly led their forces and acted. The group of people naturally tried to resist, wanting to flee. However, under the encirclement of the monarchs forces, their resistance was like ants trying to shake a tree. Many of them were instantly crippled with several dead and injured. Qin Wentian watched on calmly, not feeling the slightest bit of pity at all. His heart was as hard as granite.

Humans ultimately have to pay the price for their actions.

A wave of commotion enveloped everything as the news of Qin Wentian becoming the Lifire Palace Lord soon spread to all corners of Lifire City.

Today, every topic of discussion in the city was about Qin Wentian becoming the Lifire Palace Lord.

Three days later, sunlight cascaded down on the majestic buildings of the Lifire Palace. The buildings stood there quietly, shining with a holy-looking light. Right now, the atmosphere inside the Lifire Palace was filled with silence yet the outside was filled with commotions. Countless people stood outside the Lifire Palace, long queues for a thousand miles, all of them waiting to spectate the official moment where Qin Wentian became the Lifire Palace Lord.

Since today was the day of Qin Wentian’s official appointment, other than the normal citizens, the major powers of Lifire City would naturally lead their forces here to offer their congratulations.

The entrance of the Lifire Palace had a glorious stairway leading up to it. From the ground, everyone stepped onto the stairway, ascending step by step, none of them dared to soar through the air as a mark of respect. These people were all from the major powers who came here to congratulate Qin Wentian.

The nine monarchs were also here, including the various governors. The Xuanyuan Clan and other various powers of Lifelong City also came here as well. There was no need to mention about the minor and major powers of Lifire City themselves. Even the Jialan Clan had came.

Jialan Jiangshan personally led Jialan Yuntian, Jialan Qiuyue and the others of their clan here. As they walked on the stairway, they inclined their heads and saw the vast amount of experts in front of them, as well as the countless number of people behind them, all here to pay respects to the new Lifire Palace Lord. At this moment, everyone in the Jialan Clan couldn’t help but to sigh ruefully.

Once, that nameless young man that was bullied by the Jialan Monarch is now already the Lifire Palace Lord, enjoying respect from all his subjects as they came from all over his territories to congratulate him.

Before this, Qin Wentian was merely a nobody. But now, he was the new lord of the Lifire Palace!
