Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7220

Chapter 7132: The Wrath of the Daughter-in-Law

At this moment!

The six ancestors of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan and the two Grand Masters, Tai Su and Hong Yan, were planning to attack the Lesser Divine Treasury Star System.

Meanwhile, Li Tianming had already been taken by the boundary planet of the Eternal Purgatory Realm, and with the dissipation of the Purgatory Fire, returned to the Burning Spirit Realm.

Jiang Feiling frequently traveled between the old capital of the Lesser Divine Treasury Star System and the Burning Spirit Realm, and happened to be in the Burning Spirit Realm at this time.

When she saw Li Tianming appear with a cold expression, she was somewhat surprised and frowned slightly, asking, “Brother? What happened?”

The situation was sudden; even Yin Chen hadn’t had time to tell Jiang Feiling what was going on. Seeing Li Tianming’s expression, she could guess that he might have encountered a crisis!

Li Tianming’s gaze turned icy as he said, “I went to the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan to see my two masters, intending to clear things up. Everything seemed fine at first, but they actually set a trap for me at my residence, the ‘Heavenly Fate Palace,’ and even had six light-year-level beings attack!”

“What? How dare they! Do they think I don’t exist?” Jiang Feiling’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, her beauty instantly contorted with rage.

Time and space around her teetered on the brink of chaos, the entire Burning Spirit Realm trembled, and golden light blazed forth, as if tearing through the void!

She even felt an overwhelming urge to leave the Burning Spirit Realm immediately and confront the Heavenly Emperor Sect!

And at that moment!

Li Tianming, however, composed himself, smiling as he reached out to stop Jiang Feiling. He said, “Don’t rush. I’m still safe. We can’t afford to lose our composure in this situation.”

Jiang Feiling glared at him with her golden eyes, angrily saying, “But you treated them sincerely, yet they wanted to kill you… They must pay the price for their actions!”

Li Tianming’s gaze deepened as he said, “This debt must be settled. I’m not so magnanimous as to forgive someone who intends to kill me. They’re currently struggling to find me. If we take the initiative now, we’ll only be playing into their hands, suffering more than we gain.”

Hearing this, Jiang Feiling calmed down from her anger at almost harming Li Tianming, though she was still furious.

Her golden eyes flashed, and she said coldly, “Then what do we need to do now? With me by your side, we can’t let them bully us for nothing. They must pay the price!”

Li Tianming’s lips curled slightly as he said, “Use stillness to control movement!”

“What’s the solution?” Jiang Feiling asked in surprise.

Li Tianming’s gaze suddenly turned cold as he said, “They came prepared to capture me, which further demonstrates their inability to bear the consequences of failure. However, they didn’t expect me to escape under such circumstances… This time, they are the ones who should be anxious after this defeat, so we must not panic.”

Aurora, now transformed into the Chaos Sword Maiden, frowned and said, “However, this incident occurred within the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor City, and they handled it extremely discreetly, without causing any sensation. Not even anyone outside the parties involved knows about it. If we remain silent, it seems they won’t be greatly affected.”

At this moment, Wei Sheng Mo Ran, who had been listening silently, suddenly raised his eyes and asked, “Should we proactively spread the news of their betrayal, publish it throughout the Heavenly Emperor Sect and even the Heavenly Emperor’s territory, and condemn their behavior? This way, at least we can tarnish their reputation and make them feel bad, which can be considered as collecting some interest first, so they don’t act for nothing.”

Li Tianming pondered for a moment and then smiled slightly, “We don’t need to take that step yet; it’s not the right time.”

“Why?” Wei Sheng Mo Ran asked, somewhat puzzled.

“To cast a long line to catch a big fish.” Li Tianming paused, then said with a deep gaze, “I want to understand why they did this, not just to vent their anger. Their actions are clearly very strange. Normally, the Huantian Imperial Clan wouldn’t have any motive to attack me unless it was instructed by someone of higher status…”

“You mean… the Li Imperial Clan?” Aurora’s eyes widened slightly.

“I initially thought so too, but that’s obviously unlikely, so I’ve turned to another possibility… They’ve been so secretive about attacking me. If it were the Li Imperial Clan’s own doing, they wouldn’t need to let more people know; they could just send someone from their own clan. So, in my guess, it was ultimately the Huantian Imperial Clan’s own idea, and they even did it behind the Li Imperial Clan’s back, to keep them in the dark!” Li Tianming’s gaze sharpened. Sui

Shenyao, standing to the side, followed Li Tianming’s train of thought, his black eyes also darting around for a while.

Finally, she asked blankly, “So, all this going around in circles, it’s probably actually a conspiracy by the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan that no one knows about?”

“That’s right, and judging from their actions, they most likely want to capture me alive. Otherwise, they could have unleashed their killing move when I entered the Heavenly Fate Palace instead of trapping me.” Li Tianming’s eyes were burning as he continued, “So, they are probably more anxious than we are, because they are now at risk of being exposed, while we already hold a card in our hands, which is to make their actions known to everyone. But I think winning this is not enough. I want more than this!”

Jiang Feiling said with a slightly solemn expression, “However, if they fail, they will be afraid that you will reveal the information, so they will most likely resort to desperate measures, and the target of their desperate measures will most likely be…”

“The Divine Treasury Star System!”

An Ning, Aurora, Sui Shenyao, and Wei Sheng Mo Ran all widened their eyes slightly at the same time.

Li Tianming smiled slightly and said, “That’s right. Normally, they would guess that after I escaped the assassination attempt, I would return there, because from the outside world’s perspective, my strong backer, Ling’er, is also there, making it the safest place for me.”

At this moment, Wei Shengmo asked doubtfully, “Even if we want to remain still and wait for the right moment, we need to be certain that we can withstand the attack of a powerful enemy, right? What is the specific strength of those six light-year-old experts?”

“They are all about one light-year each,” Li Tianming said calmly.

“One light-year?” Wei Shengmo Ran asked with slight surprise. “Ling’er is clearly five light-years away. Wouldn’t they be throwing their lives away by coming to the Divine Treasury Star System? Would they really make a move?”

Li Tianming frowned and pondered for a moment.

“I think there’s a very high chance they will still come.”

“First, they might be very eager to do something with me and can’t afford to delay.”

“Second, they might not be going to capture me by brute force. They might have other methods. Currently, Ling’er’s avatars above the Ten Heavenly Venerables and her five-light-year-old main body cannot actually maintain their full strength at the same time, but from the outside, it doesn’t appear that way. Instead, they are seen as independent individuals, which is an extremely terrifying combat power. Under such circumstances, a direct confrontation would be a foolish act.”
