Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7223

Chapter 7135: Defense

At this moment, Jiang Feiling leaned on Li Tianming’s shoulder, and the two of them gazed at the endless starry sky of the universe, quietly awaiting the arrival of the powerful members of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan.

With communication shut down, the surroundings became much quieter; the Great Divine Treasury Star System, devoid of other inhabitants, seemed desolate.

“Indeed, it needs some people to truly define a territory. Even if it possesses abundant resources, what difference is there between this and a dead star system?” Li Tianming chuckled, shaking his head.

Just then, Jiang Feiling suddenly raised her head, gazing at Li Tianming’s profile, and asked, “Brother, they should have already left the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Could we find out their location in advance? That way, we can make thorough preparations.”

Li Tianming shook his head slightly, saying, “These people’s daily activities are restricted, and they rarely leave their homes, so Yin Chen had no chance to touch their clothes before, making it difficult to locate them.”

“Then… what about Illusionary Annihilation?” Jiang Feiling blinked, asking again.

“That won’t work either.” Li Tianming shook his head helplessly. “Obviously, there are cautious and intelligent people among them. Even though Huanmie seems to have no chance of tipping them off, they are still on guard against her. So she doesn’t know where this group of powerful Huantian Emperors went and can only go with the flow until the real answer comes to light…”

“Damn it, it seems that when these old fogies come up with ideas together, they can still come up with some clever schemes.” Sui Shenyao chimed in, gritting his teeth.

“Since we can’t know their movements… what if this Huantian Emperors are truly insidious and don’t come to our Great Divine Treasury Star System at all, but instead all go to the Small Divine Treasury Star System to capture people? Wouldn’t we lose the initiative and become too passive?” Jiang Feiling suddenly asked with some worry.

Sui Shenyao widened his eyes and said, “That’s right. When they attack, these Illusion God cultivators will have a huge killing range, and with so many powerful figures, they can almost take the entire Divine Treasure Clan and the Heavenly Mandate Army prisoner. If we just wait here, isn’t that like gambling?”

Jiang Feiling nodded solemnly and said, “Yaoyao is right. If they acquire a large number of prisoners in advance and we are put on the defensive, they can even use them to force you to submit. If it comes to that, how should we deal with it? This is something I haven’t fully considered.”

“Ling’er, if you rush back at full speed, will you make it in time?” At this moment, Sui Shenyao looked at Jiang Feiling and blinked.

“That’s… possible.” Jiang Feiling hesitated, then frowned. “However, even if we rush back, we can only guarantee to protect the Little Divine Treasury Star System, not everyone. There might be some casualties…”

She knew in her heart that Li Tianming didn’t want any casualties, otherwise he wouldn’t have lured people to the Great Divine Treasury Star System.

But at the moment, it was really difficult to guard against the other party’s insidious and unethical methods.

“Don’t worry, Ling’er, Yao Yao, the choice I make will never be reckless.” Li Tianming suddenly smiled slightly.

“Brother, do you have another plan?” Jiang Feiling blinked and asked curiously.

Sui Shenyao’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing this, realizing that Li Tianming also had another plan, and he was also very curious.

She said, “Faced with such a powerful army, the only one on our side who can truly confront them head-on should be Ling’er… Little Li, do you have a

powerful backer that even I don’t know about?” Upon hearing this, Li Tianming laughed and cried, “You’ve been acting with me all along, don’t you know whether I know any other powerful backers?”

“Then how do you plan to deal with it? Tell me!” Sui Shenyao’s curiosity was like a kitten scratching at her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.

“Don’t rush,” Li Tianming smiled slightly, then continued, “First, Silver Dust has already covered the outer ring of the entire Little Divine Treasure Star System. As soon as these Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan members appear, we’ll receive the fastest news, and it won’t take too long to get back. Second, if they really do go to the Little Divine Treasure Star System, I’ll have another expectation: is their ‘smart’ choice truly ‘smart’? I don’t think so…”

“Indeed, with Silver Dust’s advance planning, casualties can be minimized or even prevented to the greatest extent possible, but… what exactly is your backup plan!” Sui Shenyao still hadn’t received an answer and said dejectedly.

“The key to the Little Divine Treasure Star System lies with Silver Dust,” Li Tianming said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“Silver Dust? It’s very strong at intelligence gathering, but how can it contend with a powerful army?” Sui Shenyao felt his brain wasn’t working properly.

“It’s not that it’s directly helping me, but indirectly. I’m currently arranging for Silver Dust to carry out a special mission; that’s my backup plan,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

At this moment, Jiang Feiling couldn’t help but raise her eyes and ask, “What kind of mission is it?”

Li Tianming, however, smiled without saying a word…

…

At this moment, in the Little Divine Treasure Star System.

In the deepest part of the star system, the gluttonous Xiao Jiu was still engrossed in eating Divine Treasure Stones, its gigantic shadow spanning tens of light-years covering a large area of space.

Its enormous mouth, which it transformed into, was like an abyss, and the Divine Treasure Stones it attracted poured into its mouth continuously, like a rushing river!

Having received the nourishment of Divine Treasure Stones, Xiao Jiu should have been in a good mood, but at this moment, it seemed somewhat impatient…

At this moment!

Beside it, at a glance, there seemed to be many silver dust particles, like clouds of mist, floating around Xiao Jiu.

This was simply because the individual silver dust particles were so small compared to Xiao Jiu, creating such a visual contrast.

And these individual silver dust particles were not simply watching Xiao Jiu eat; if one observed and listened carefully, one could know what it was doing…

At this moment, the silver dust particles were talking about their birth, starting from the first time they saw Xiao Jiu’s egg, all the way to their speculations about the birth of the universe.

He then talked about how his brothers and sisters thought of it, and how much effort Li Tianming had put into finding the Divine Treasure Stone for it.

They chatted about everything under the sun, from creation to destruction.

Of course, the most important thing was the various everyday matters, introducing Xiao Jiu to the current state of his companion beast brothers and sisters, and all of Li Tianming’s women.

At this moment, Yin Chen, in his characteristic way, relentlessly rambled on to Xiao Jiu, trying to communicate with her and reach some kind of consensus, or rather, a sense of agreement.

But these words were like the incessant buzzing of mosquitoes, irritating Xiao Jiu to no end!

“So annoying, get lost!” Xiao Jiu shouted angrily through her divine sense while swallowing the Divine Treasure Stone.
