Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7344

Chapter 7258: A Grand Gift!

“But…she’s already submitted to War God Li, so she’s probably being protected.”

“Sigh…I didn’t expect that besides those two deputy generals, there’s another deputy general escaping justice. It’s truly miserable. The thought of possibly associating with our enemy in the future is just awful.”

Li Tianming and Yu Mo, of course, heard this large-scale discussion.

At this moment, before Li Tianming could speak, Yu Mo became anxious.

Facing the group of Demon Slayers, she said coldly, “Although I, Yu Mo, have participated in the power struggle, I have never thought of using this method to seek profit. I also know that the Demon Slayers are the foundation of the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall, and I am utterly ashamed to be associated with such people!”

At this moment, the way everyone looked at Yu Mo conveyed a sense of ‘I don’t trust you, but I can’t do anything about it, so I’ll let you be.’

However, Li Tianming stepped forward, smiling at the crowd. “Gentlemen, there’s no need to doubt Vice General Yu Mo. She truly has no prior record. I can assure you of that. You’ve all seen how much I abhor such behavior, and you’ve all witnessed my strength. To say something perhaps disrespectful to Vice General Yu Mo, even if she weren’t in the Heavenly Eight Demon Army, she wouldn’t affect our overall combat strength. I have no reason to protect her.”

His words brought clarity to the hearts of everyone in the Demon Army.

“That’s right! War God Li has no reason to protect her. To War God Li, it’s not like he’s missing another combatant.”

“Perhaps he genuinely believes Vice General Yu Mo has repented, and that’s why he’s giving her a chance to atone.”

“We really shouldn’t doubt Vice General Yu Mo; she’s the most conscientious of the three vice generals.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean Yu Mo has never made a mistake, but none of them were serious enough to warrant severe punishment or even the death penalty.

At this moment, after hearing Li Tianming’s words and the Demon Army’s discussions, Yu Mo gripped her sleeves.

She felt a mix of emotions, unsure whether to be happy or unhappy.

After all, didn’t this mean that her existence was now dispensable within the Heavenly Eight Demon Army?

Li Tianming looked at her and smiled slightly, “Deputy General Yu Mo, that’s what I said in battle, but in reality, there are many military affairs, and the scale of the battlefield is too large for me to manage alone. Therefore, I actually need you to share the burden in commanding operations and handling military affairs.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Mo’s eyes regained their light, and she bowed deeply to Li Tianming, saying,

“Thank you for your appreciation, War God Li. This humble general will spare no effort to assist War God Li!”

Her words were very sincere, her head almost touching her toes.

After all, the current structure of the Heavenly Eight Demon Army was already set, and cultivating a good relationship with Li Tianming was the best course of action.

If she could secure this position, she might be able to become the second-in-command within the Heavenly Eight Demon Army!

And at this moment, Wei Qingyu’s ‘little gift’ for Li Tianming finally came to an end.

Tens of millions of members of the Demon Extinction Army cheered, celebrating this victory that also belonged to them.

“The struggle between the three vice-generals over the past millennium has finally ended with the Demon Extinction Army

‘s victory!!” “This victory isn’t just about any vice-general who used or threatened us to cooperate in the power struggle; it belongs to the entire Demon Extinction Army, and to War God Li!”

“We’re finally free from internal strife; this struggle has ended under War God Li’s leadership!”

The entire Demon Extinction Army erupted in jubilation…

Amidst this noisy scene, Li Tianming’s eyes were deep, a cold smile playing on his lips.

“Trying to make me follow your lead? Heh!” he said meaningfully.

“This little Li’s former ‘adoptive mother’ is certainly causing more and more trouble…” Sui Shenyao added.

If Sui Shenyao hadn’t mentioned it, Li Tianming would have almost forgotten about this relationship.

Originally, Wei Shendao claimed it was to facilitate Li Tianming, and he made this claim to outsiders as well, but neither of them truly believed it.

And now, the adopted son and adoptive mother in the eyes of outsiders might finally be coming to an end!

Meanwhile, this ‘adoptive mother’ was within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, seemingly communicating with someone…

…

Heavenly Emperor Sect, Di Tian Pavilion.

Before Wei Shendao lay a communication star tower, within which a golden figure shone, its features obscured.

“Holy Emperor, news has come back from the front lines that Wei Qingyu has been killed by Li Tianming, executed publicly…” Wei Shendao said, her face grim.

The mission failure was a factor, and besides, Wei Qingyu was a rising star in the clan, even having the potential to reach the Saint Emperor level; his death was a pity!

At this moment, Wei Shendao lowered her head, daring not to utter another word.

She didn’t know how the Holy Emperor would react to this.

But unexpectedly, the Holy Emperor smiled, saying, “The little gift is gone just like that? It seems this game can’t be played lightly.”

Even though the other party wasn’t angry, Wei Shendao dared not speak rashly.

Such a powerful figure is merely not yet fully consumed by rage. He appears calm now, but when his anger truly erupts, it will be devastating!

Therefore, Wei Shendao carefully considered her words and cautiously said, “This Li Tianming seems to possess a strange intelligence-gathering ability. This is the root cause of Wei Qingyu and Jiuyang’s failure. At least we’ve discovered this, which means we’ve uncovered some of his secrets, so it’s not entirely without gain.” “

Of course I know that, you don’t need to tell me,” the Holy Emperor’s voice deepened, seemingly slightly displeased. “

Yes, yes, I spoke out of turn,” Wei Shendao said with a smile, slapping herself twice apologetically.

The Holy Emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said to Wei Shendao, “I’ll prepare another big gift for Li Tianming. You will personally take charge…”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao immediately opened the Dao array barrier and leaned close to the communication star tower to listen intently.

“…”

Her expression gradually became serious. After a long while, the other party ended the communication.

Wei Shendao, completely at ease, sat down to one side.

At this moment, her mind was heavy; she was caught entirely in the middle! Having gone

too far in her attack on Li Tianming, it would be difficult to escape unscathed, but because of the Holy Emperor, she had no

choice but to intervene! Therefore, Wei Shendao could only sigh slightly, helpless. Should she disobey orders?

She knew in her heart that once she got involved in such matters, she would either be completely committed, working for the Li imperial family, or she would become a dead person guarding the secret…

In a secluded space within the Jingtang of the Ditian Pavilion, Wei Shendao sighed in front of the mirror, filled with melancholy.
