Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7238

Chapter 7151: Silently

, tears streamed down her face as she sobbed, “Illusory Destruction has committed a grave crime, and I have no face to face Governor Li and his wife. I can only atone with my death; I beg

you to grant me this!” Li Tianming remained expressionless, not even glancing at the kneeling Illusory Destruction, but

instead asked, “Tell me first, what crime have you committed?” “It was all because I introduced Governor Li to my second aunt and uncle. Although much time has passed, I cannot escape blame for this outcome. If it weren’t for me, none of this would have happened…” Illusory Destruction cried.

“Then let me ask you, did you introduce me to the Grand Tutor with the intention of harming me?” Li Tianming turned to face Illusory Destruction, looking directly into her eyes.

At this moment, Illusory Destruction fell silent, only sobbing.

“It seems you already have your answer. So this matter isn’t your fault. Even if it wasn’t you, those who had ulterior motives towards me would have approached me through other means and methods. This was an inevitable outcome,” Li Tianming said coldly. “And now, I’ve apprehended those who truly attacked me and harbored ulterior motives. That’s enough. You are innocent!”

After saying this, Li Tianming glanced at Aurora, who helped Huanmie, who had fallen to the ground, to her feet.

Through the Line of All Beings, Huanmie had a basic understanding of what had happened during the battle.

At this moment, she asked softly, “Governor Li, how do you intend to deal with these powerful members of the Huantian Emperor Clan who attacked me?”

“To attack me so openly, disregarding the laws of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, I naturally won’t let them off easily. I believe you are innocent, but they are absolutely guilty of serious crimes, and they deserve their punishment,” Li Tianming said, his gaze slightly narrowed.

“In that case… very well…” Huanmie pursed her lips and slowly nodded.

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised. “You don’t seem surprised at all?”

“As you said, they deserved it. These elders now feel incredibly unfamiliar to me. I don’t know what they wanted to do with Governor Li, but when people seek power externally instead of internally, that’s when they’re truly sick,” Huanmie said wistfully.

“However, my decision is very likely to destroy the foundation of the Huantian Imperial Clan. This is a top-tier enmity for your clan. By joining my Tianming Army now, you can avoid many future troubles.” Li Tianming looked at Huanmie, paused, and said, “Of course, the choice is yours.”

“My choice is… to continue following!” Huanmie looked up, his eyes burning.

“You need to think carefully. The Huansheng incident in the past has already made you the target of gossip, and now it’s escalated to the entire Huantian Imperial Clan. Choosing my Tianming Army almost means you’re severing all ties with the Huantian Imperial Clan,” Li Tianming said solemnly.

“I’ve thought it through. This terminally ill Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan is no longer worth my lingering attachment. From now on, the Heavenly Mandate Army is my home,” Huanmie said firmly.

Li Tianming’s eyes flickered slightly, somewhat surprised.

But after a moment of silence, he smiled with relief, “Alright, Senior Sister Huanmie, since you’ve firmly chosen me, I won’t let you down. The Divine Treasury Star System is just the beginning for us. Follow me, and one day I’ll show you a true golden age!”

“Yes! I believe you!” Huanmie nodded emphatically.

In fact, Li Tianming had also considered whether such a matter would sever Huanmie’s ties to all living beings.

But in reality, perhaps it was the unfair treatment she received upon returning to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and the ruthless methods these people used to achieve their goals, that made her feel no attachment to the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, ultimately strengthening Huanmie’s resolve.

After speaking frankly, Huanmie knew this wasn’t the place for her, so she asked for permission and returned to the old capital.

Li Tianming then had the ‘Illusionary Whale’ automatically hide.

After all, this cosmic starship was simply enormous; even the old capital was probably smaller than it.

Outside the old capital, Li Tianming looked at the cosmic starship and smiled with satisfaction, saying, “Aside from the Sumeru Ring we captured, this should be considered the most valuable item we’ve obtained this time.”

This super cosmic starship, the size of an entire star system city, would definitely be a great asset to Li Tianming’s future conquests of star systems.

Of course, he couldn’t use it now.

At his current level of understanding, his former Heavenly Venerable-level ‘Heavenly Destiny’ was clearly insufficient; this new cosmic starship was just right!

The commotion that had occurred in the Little Divine Treasure Star System had alarmed almost all the surrounding star systems, who were all trying to gather more detailed information.

But unfortunately, not only now, but even before, Yin Chen had always been present.

Ever since Li Tianming defeated the Young Emperor, those surrounding star systems had sometimes sent spies to infiltrate the Little Divine Treasure Star System, but of course, they were all met with silence.

Any infiltrators were discovered by Yin Chen, accurately located, interrogated, and then killed.

At this moment, the surrounding star systems, curious about the situation in the Little Divine Treasury Star System, could only strain their eyes to see clearly.

“Have you… seen what happened there?”

“It seems that terrifying phantom god was torn apart by a beastly shadow!”

“Could it be that the beastly shadow is also from Li Tianming’s camp?”

Thinking of this, countless people were horrified.

“A wife five light-years away, plus a beastly shadow no weaker than her, Li Tianming’s background must be incredibly powerful!”

“How far can we go with such a terrifying existence?”

After receiving this speculation, everyone in the surrounding star systems was on edge.

Most of these star systems were level nine, but facing the Little Divine Treasury Star System, this former level nine star system now posed a threat far exceeding that of a level seven star system, falling somewhere between level six and level seven!

To them, it was as if a terrifying behemoth was sleeping beside them, ready to devour them whole when it awoke!

Meanwhile, Li Tianming had already returned to the Burning Spirit Realm via the Boundary Planet, and then returned to the Heavenly Emperor Sect via the Fixed Sky Butterfly.

He reappeared at the Heavenly Fate Palace!

Not long ago, he had been ambushed and killed here, and now, returning, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion.

Now that his ties to the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan were gone, this Heavenly Fate Palace, once a precious old palace of his two masters, seemed to hold little meaning anymore.

“To be on the safe side, let’s observe the situation first,” Li Tianming said coldly.

So, he directly entered the Void Universe Starscape, using this state to walk within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

“It seems the disappearance of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan’s experts hasn’t fully taken hold yet…” Sui Shenyao said with surprise, watching the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan members coming and going.

“These experts often live in seclusion, and given their inherently secretive nature, and considering the incident hasn’t been long, it’s normal that they haven’t reacted yet,” Aurora explained.
