Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7228
Chapter 7141: A Melodrama
Soon, Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling arrived at the Little Divine Treasury Star System and stopped outside its Illusion God Array.
At this moment, the powerful members of the Illusion Heaven Emperor Clan suddenly sensed something and looked towards a certain place from their old capital.
“The fish are here…” someone sneered.
Buzz—
At this moment, colorful light flowed within the Illusion God Array, as if an Illusion God who controlled space was at work within it.
Soon, hundreds of powerful members of the Illusion Heaven Emperor Clan, led by six light-year-old experts, all teleported to Li Tianming’s front.
All the members of the Illusion Heaven Emperor Clan stared coldly at Li Tianming.
Upon seeing them, Li Tianming’s face turned icy as he said, “What are you doing? Wasn’t the agreed-upon decisive battle in the Great Divine Treasury Star System? How dare you resort to such despicable tactics, taking my people hostage? Is this the style of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan?”
At this moment, the woman in the red dress stepped forward, her expression mocking, “Li Tianming, you are truly naive to the point of being foolish. This is called ‘all’s fair in war’! As a governor, you don’t even have this much strategy, yet you’re praised to the skies by the world? I truly cannot understand. It seems most people are blinded. In reality, without a powerful backer, you are nothing at all.”
Jiang Feiling exchanged a glance with Li Tianming, then seemed to be consumed by rage, her golden hair flying wildly, her eyes blazing with golden light!
She said coldly, “Are you all completely disregarding me? If you have the guts, fight me fair and square. I’ll take you all on by myself. Don’t hurt the innocent!”
Although she was in the Guanzizai Realm, she was almost unleashing her full power, even causing some Saint Emperors to stumble back half a step, their faces turning pale.
“Do you want to make a move? Believe me, we can wipe out your husband’s imperial path in an instant!” a Saint Emperor shouted.
“You dare?” Jiang Feiling said coldly, “A dignified guardian imperial clan resorting to such despicable means. Aren’t you
afraid of becoming a laughingstock?” “Although we are not afraid of a head-on confrontation, there is an easier way. Why don’t we use it?” the blue-robed man said with a half-smile. “I admit, you are indeed very strong. We might even suffer some casualties if we want to take you down, but now we can achieve our goal without losing a single soldier. What can you do to me?”
“Despicable!” Jiang Feiling said, seemingly angry.
At this moment, facing the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan before him, Li Tianming closed his eyes in anguish, as if resigned to his fate.
He said in despair, “I’ve lost this game. I shouldn’t have thought of you as so righteous. Tell me, what do you want in return for sparing my people? I’m willing to bear all the consequences!”
At this, the several light-year-old experts on the other side didn’t respond immediately. Instead, they exchanged glances and huddled together, whispering
amongst themselves. They used their special Illusionary God power to block out sound, so Li Tianming couldn’t hear what they were discussing.
Soon, they fell silent, seemingly having received their answer, and turned to look at Li Tianming with varying expressions.
The black-robed elder, his gaze sharp as a hawk, fixed on Li Tianming and slowly said, “Our conditions are simple. If you unleash the Origin of the Cosmic God five times, and then we take it away, perhaps we can consider letting these lowly ants go. Anyway… their lives are worthless. We wouldn’t bother with them unless they were useful.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiling’s eyebrows shot up in anger. “We can’t let you do that! Unleashing the Origin of the Cosmic God five times will basically ruin his life. It’s even uncertain whether he can regenerate his Cosmic God body. This condition is no different from killing the Divine Treasure Clan and destroying his Emperor’s Path; he’ll be crippled anyway!”
“There’s no way around it. Who knows what method you, Li Tianming, will use to escape this time? Wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?” the white-robed old woman sneered.
Clearly, they were also worried about repeating the same mistake, having Li Tianming escape using the Boundary Planet again.
The almost crippled Origin of the Cosmic God would almost certainly prevent this.
“In short, I disagree!” Jiang Feiling said coldly.
“Fine, then let the Divine Treasure Clan be destroyed. You should ask your pathetic puppet king if he can bear to do it. Wasn’t he willing to oppose the Li Imperial Clan for the sake of the Divine Treasure Clan? It seems he doesn’t care about the Divine Treasure Clan that much after all…” The blue-robed man sneered.
“If you have the guts, then refine them all! I don’t care about anyone else. If the Imperial Path is lost, I can rebuild it. I just want my husband to live!” Jiang Feiling said angrily.
Whoosh!
As she spoke, she even directly unfurled her wings of light, and thousands of golden starlight and trillions of divine ruins shone in the Small Divine Treasure Star System, with the power of the Cosmic God surging like a deep sea.
The powerful members of the Illusionary Heaven Imperial Clan all tensed up upon seeing this, and the Illusionary God Array shone brightly, showing a defensive posture.
They clearly did not want to fight Jiang Feiling, otherwise they would not have chosen to launch a surprise attack on the Small Divine Treasure Star System, but would have gone directly to the Great Divine Treasure Star System to fight Jiang Feiling.
“Don’t think we’re afraid of you. We’re only negotiating to avoid unnecessary casualties. You can’t win a real fight!” the black-robed elder said coldly.
“Wait!”
At this moment, Li Tianming stepped forward, pulling back Jiang Feiling who was about to rush out, and shook his head slightly at her.
“What do you want to do?” Jiang Feiling frowned.
“Madam, I’ve decided to exchange my life for the peace of the Divine Treasure Clan!” Li Tianming said firmly.
“Are you crazy? You want to exchange your life for these ants?” Jiang Feiling’s eyes widened, seemingly incredulous.
At this moment, the hundreds of powerful members of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan relaxed their vigilance slightly and revealed cold smiles.
Even a Saint Emperor boldly mocked, “It seems your little husband doesn’t listen to you. Everything you’ve done for him has only resulted in disobedience. Is it all worth it?”
At this moment, Jiang Feiling turned to face Li Tianming, and the people of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan could only see her back.
At this moment, facing Li Tianming, she smiled but spoke seriously, “I need a reason. Why did you do this?”
“Be serious,” Li Tianming frowned and whispered, then said loudly, “My life is nothing. I care about all living beings. My life is worth it to exchange for the peace and well-being of the Shenzang tribe! So, please grant my decision, Madam. Let us be husband and wife again in the next life!”
Jiang Feiling seemed somewhat regretful upon hearing this. She shook her head and said, “Since you’ve put it this way, I won’t force you. It’s up to you. Perhaps our fate as husband and wife has run its course…”
The black-robed elder sneered, “Since you’ve made your decision, then hurry up and do it. We don’t have time to watch your melodramatic performance. How boring!”
