Chapter 7215: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tigers Fight

After a long pause, Li Tianming smiled.

He said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll trouble the three vice generals to keep it safe.”

Everyone was somewhat taken aback, especially Wei Qingyu, who didn’t understand what Li Tianming was up to.

This behavior of refusing to return the Dao Array Core even after being questioned face-to-face was already extremely disobedient.

Therefore, Wei Qingyu was even more puzzled as to why Li Tianming didn’t confront him and could even smile.

However, in reality, Li Tianming was communicating telepathically with Yin Chen.

“Yin Chen, have you recorded everything?” Li Tianming asked.

“Yes, I have,” Yin Chen replied.

“These are all their own words; taking responsibility for their words and actions is the most basic thing,” Aurora said meaningfully.

On the surface, Li Tianming’s compromise seemed like extreme resentment.

But in reality, no one else knew that Li Tianming was secretly communicating with Yin Chen and Aurora.

Through the image sphere, he recorded everything.

Wei Qingyu’s smile faded slightly as he respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Li Tianming, saying, “Contributing to the strength of the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall defense is what we should do. It’s best if War God Li understands.”

After his earlier words, everyone knew his attitude and thoughts.

However, no one present said anything, each playing dumb.

Li Tianming nodded slightly to him, then looked at the group before him, his gaze indifferent, and said, “With several deputy generals working diligently, I can rest assured. However, the defense plan for the Eighth Heavenly Division hasn’t been changed for at least a thousand years. Now that I am the War God, are there any areas where the defense work of the Eighth Heavenly Division needs improvement? If you have any suggestions, please

feel free to bring them up.” At this moment, Yu Mo, who had been silent for a long time, actually spoke up.

She slowly said, “The Eighth Heavenly Demon Army has been honing its skills for thousands of years without any changes, and it has defended the line very well, showing perfect teamwork. Therefore, I believe no changes are needed. If any changes are made suddenly, and any unforeseen events occur, the Eighth Heavenly Demon Army will be unable to bear the consequences.”

Everyone was also observing Li Tianming’s reaction.

They refused to hand over the Dao Array Core, and even refused to let Li Tianming get involved in the defensive works.

This attitude was the ultimate provocation to Li Tianming, a great war god, essentially meaning he hadn’t participated in the Heavenly Eight Absolute Demon Army’s decision-making at all.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Li Tianming remained calm.

“Alright, that’s how it’s arranged for now. This inauguration ceremony is over. Please return,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

The three people below the stage were somewhat surprised, not expecting this outcome.

In fact, Li Tianming’s words seemed rather sudden.

They still had some arguments they hadn’t used, waiting for Li Tianming to ask further questions.

However, since Li Tianming had accepted, there was no need for them to say anything more.

The more they said, the more mistakes they would make. Since Li Tianming didn’t care about other issues, there was no need for them to continue lying through their teeth.

The three of them asked in unison, “War God Li, since that’s the case, we’ll take our leave first.”

Li Tianming waved his hand dismissively and said, “Let’s go.”

They turned and left together, and after a while, their figures disappeared, and the War God Palace returned to silence, the strange atmosphere gone.

However, after leaving the War God Palace, their expressions changed, becoming somewhat cold.

Jiang Liu, who represented Vice General Jiu Yang, said nothing and left directly. After all, given her status, she dared not discuss too much or express her opinions.

Her presence was primarily to relay Jiu Yang’s message and to test Li Tianming’s attitude.

After she left, only Wei Qingyu and Yu Mo remained not far from the Heavenly Eight War God Palace.

The two exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Wei Qingyu spoke first, saying calmly, “What do you think of this Li Tianming?”

“So-so,” Yu Mo replied flatly. “This genius is hyped up outside, but I feel he’s undeserving of the praise. He’s too cowardly; he doesn’t even dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction.”

Wei Qingyu remained silent. He glanced back at Li Tianming’s direction in the Heavenly Eight War God Palace, said nothing, and turned to leave.

At that moment, a burly middle-aged man who had been waiting in front of the Heavenly Eight War God Palace hurriedly followed.

After the two had traveled a certain distance from the War God Palace, the burly middle-aged man cautiously spoke.

“Vice General Wei, Li Tianming only summoned you to witness his inauguration. What is his purpose? Does he not want to subdue the demons and secure his position as the Great War God?” the burly middle-aged man asked quietly.

Wei Qingyu was walking along when she slightly turned her head to look at the middle-aged man and said calmly, “This Li Tianming has no fundamental feelings towards the Primordial Demons, and he probably doesn’t really want any power above all others.”

“Then what does he want?” the burly middle-aged man asked, puzzled.

“This kid is only interested in the cultivation opportunities at the Star Palace,” Wei Qingyu said indifferently.

The burly middle-aged man was somewhat surprised and asked again, “How did you figure that out?”

“He gave up everything, except when I mentioned the Emperor Heaven Plan, he kept emphasizing the Demon Extermination Plan, which shows that he still doesn’t want to be completely taken away, but he can give up everything. The only answer is this: the Star Palace!” Wei Qingyu said, her eyes flashing.

Upon hearing this, the burly middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “Then what should we do next? Even if it’s the Star Palace, we can’t just give it to him for nothing. Having military power but not getting the benefits of the Star Palace is ultimately not our goal.”

“What does the Star Palace have to do with you? Why are you so concerned about it?” Wei Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

“Hehe, Vice General Wei has become a War God. The more his strength improves, the higher the brothers’ status rises. The struggle of the past thousand years can be considered settled.” The burly middle-aged man chuckled.

“Hehe, wanting to cultivate at the Star Palace for free isn’t so easy. The Supreme Emperor has appointed Li Tianming, and of course we can’t change that. But if Li Tianming wants to leave, then there’s nothing we can do.” Wei Qingyu said with a smile.

“You mean…” The burly middle-aged man hesitated.

“I’m giving you a task.” Wei Qingyu said with a smile, “Tell the people of Jiuyang about Li Tianming’s desire to return to the Star Palace to cultivate as soon as possible. Go quickly, the sooner the better.”

“Yes, sir.” The burly middle-aged man’s expression turned serious, then he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, “What about us? What should we do?”

“We? We’ll hold back for now. If they want to do anything, let them do it first.” Wei Qingyu said with a slight smile, “We’ll just sit back and watch the tigers fight…”
