Chapter 7149: The Disillusionment Between Master and Disciple

Throughout the entire Little Divine Treasury Star System, people knelt and kowtowed incessantly.

After capturing these people and sealing them in the City of Eternal Life, Li Tianming separately extracted the Cosmic God Origins of Tai Su and Hong Yan.

In fact, they had been carried with him the whole time and had just witnessed the entire annihilation of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan’s powerful figures.

Li Tianming smiled and said, “Didn’t you say that your Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan could kill my people? Didn’t you want to threaten me with my people? How come your Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan’s powerful figures are so useless?”

At this moment, Tai Su and Hong Yan were stunned by the crushing defeat and did not speak immediately in response to Li Tianming’s words.

After a long pause, Hongyan exclaimed in disbelief, “How is this possible! Our Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan sent out all its strongest warriors, yet we couldn’t even take down a small Divine Treasure Star System?”

“Our Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan has been completely wiped out like this?”

“Li Tianming! Do you know what you’re doing? You’ll definitely regret destroying my Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan. It’s not too late to release them now, don’t make a mistake!”

“I know very well what I’m doing. I was first ambushed, and when the assassins failed, they continued to hunt me down, even trying to force me into submission with treacherous schemes.” Li Tianming said with a half-smile, “However, I didn’t obediently follow the assassins’ script, I went beyond their control, so some people got anxious.”

“Don’t be so smug, you, Li Tianming, were just lucky. You just happened to encounter the Eternal Emperor Beast, which allowed you to turn the tide. Without it, you would have already lost!” Taisu said coldly.

“Without the Eternal Emperor Beast’s intervention, you are nothing! We lost, but only because of luck, not because of you, Li Tianming!” Hongyan also retorted sharply.

Li Tianming chuckled and said, “If you want to comfort yourselves and excuse your defeat like this, I can’t stop you. But now you are the losers, and your lives are in my hands. You need to think this through.” “

Are you threatening us?” Tai Su asked incredulously.

“This is just a reminder, but you can interpret it as a threat if you want. Anyway, the initiative is now in my hands. Don’t misunderstand your situation.” Li Tianming said with a cold smile.

“From the moment we embarked on our mission to the Great Divine Treasury Star System, we never intended to live. But you can’t touch the other Illusionary Heavenly Emperors. You don’t have the right!” Tai Su said coldly.

“The right? I’m protecting my territory and my own life. What right do I need?” Li Tianming sneered.

“So many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, so many Holy Emperors, the Supreme Emperor Ancestor, and the Light-Year Ancestor—you have no right to deal with them. You, a mere Grand Governor, want to scheme against your superiors and decide our lives? You’re not qualified!” Hong Yan said coldly.

“If what you say is true, then I, Li Tianming, deserve to be humiliated by you? I am alive now, but if I were really dead, would the Heavenly Emperor Sect still uphold justice for me? In the end, your powerful and wealthy Huantian Imperial Clan operates on the logic of robbers. You think you deserve what you gain, and when your interests are harmed, you use so-called justice to oppress others. It’s truly disgusting,” Li Tianming said, frowning. “

In any case, you must return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect and leave everything to the Li Clan to decide. If you recklessly kill someone, you will be showing no respect for the hierarchy within the Heavenly Emperor Sect and disrespecting the laws of the Heavenly Emperor Sect!” Tai Su coldly retorted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiling sneered. She slowly said, “So this is the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan. You simply want to escalate the foolish deeds of your own clan to the sect and the Li Clan. Do you really expect to get outside help?”

“You are merely an outsider to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and Li Tianming is nothing more than a puppet controlled by an outsider. My Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan has followed the Li Clan and made countless contributions. The Li Clan’s choice between you and us is obvious. If you really want to oppose the Heavenly Emperor Sect, then try it!” Hongyan said coldly.

Tai Su shouted angrily at Li Tianming, “If you don’t release him, the Li Clan will definitely take action, and the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect will condemn you. Relying on external forces to defeat the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, injuring all the strong members of my clan, and damaging the very foundation of my clan is tantamount to damaging the cornerstone of the Heavenly Emperor. This is an absolutely heinous crime that you cannot bear!”

Faced with these threats, Li Tianming’s expression remained almost unchanged.

Finally, he said calmly, “Rest now. There’s nothing to say to someone who’s lost their mind.”

With that, the two Cosmic God Essences were tossed into the Eternal World City by Jiang Feiling like trash.

The original master-disciple relationship had unexpectedly deteriorated to this hysterical state, a truly lamentable situation.

However, who was right and who was wrong was already quite clear. From the beginning, Tai Su and Hong Yan hadn’t come with the intention of taking Li Tianming as a disciple.

The two Grand Emperors, who had no children and had never taken disciples before, naturally cherished and enjoyed being close to a genius disciple.

This development aligned with everyone’s expectations and wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.

Therefore, the two were merely tools chosen from within the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan to get close to Li Tianming.

After the Cosmic God Essences were collected, the surroundings quieted down slightly.

Jiang Feiling looked at Li Tianming and smiled slightly, “So what now? Should we send all these powerful members of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan to Xiaoyu?”

Li Tianming pondered for a moment, then said, “I do have that plan, but nothing is urgent. We have to wait a bit.”

“What’s wrong? Is there anything else going on?” Sui Shenyao, transformed into the Chaos Sword Maiden, asked curiously.

“I’m not sure if the Eternal Heavenly Emperor already knows what happened in the Little Divine Treasury Star System.” Li Tianming hesitated for a moment, then continued, “He hasn’t shown himself yet. I previously deduced that he came to the Divine Treasury Star System, but he’s nowhere to be seen. I even suspect that he’s hiding in the shadows and witnessed everything…” “

Would the old man that Xiao Jiu mentioned really go to such lengths? And even Yin Chen didn’t notice. Maybe he didn’t even come at all.” Sui Shenyao pondered.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say. After all, the other side has extremely strong strength, and we don’t know if the so-called ‘Little Thief of Heaven’ clan has any other special abilities. It’s best to be cautious. If I kill these people from the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan now, the Li Clan will definitely not sit idly by.”

At this moment, Aurora also came out. She nodded seriously and said, “What Tai Su and Hong Yan said is actually partly true. In the end, the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan are their own people in the Li Clan, while Tianming is an outsider.”

“An outsider? But Little Li is a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and he even holds the position of Grand Governor.” Sui Shenyao asked, puzzled.

“It’s different. To the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Tianming’s roots are not there, so no matter what position he holds, it’s useless. And in their eyes, Tianming’s background, namely Ling’er, does not belong to the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Killing people from their Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan now could be interpreted as Ling’er weakening the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s high-end combat power. If someone with ulterior motives hypes it up, it could become a real rebellion!” Aurora said solemnly.

“Treason? That serious?” Sui Shenyao exclaimed, his mouth slightly agape in shock.

Li Tianming, however, nodded and said, “Aunt is right. That’s what I’m worried about too. Ultimately, it comes down to my stance. If I don’t have a background, I can’t establish myself in the Heavenly Emperor Sect. But if I do have a background, and that background doesn’t come from the Heavenly Emperor Sect, I’ll be in an awkward situation. In that case, even if I have the strength and talent to fight for some position, I won’t be able to squeeze into the real upper echelons.”
