Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7348

Chapter 7262: A Secret Known to All

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming clasped his hands in a fist and smiled slightly, saying, “You flatter me. Without Governor Wei’s guidance, I wouldn’t have reached this point.”

At this moment, Sui Shenyao couldn’t help but complain, “If you two keep acting like this, I’m going to throw up. Wei Shendao is really good at holding back; she hasn’t given herself away.”

Wei Shendao, of course, was unaware of Sui Shenyao’s existence. She then smiled at Li Tianming, seemingly unaffected, and said, “Alright, I won’t banter with you anymore. I heard that you’ve returned this time for an important matter. Is that Li Moumou going to come out of seclusion to fight you?”

Li Tianming nodded slightly upon hearing this, “Yes, I didn’t expect Governor Wei to be so well-informed, even knowing this?”

“It’s not that I’m well-informed; it’s just that so many people are paying attention to this matter. Almost the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect is watching. After all… this is your second time fighting against the Li Imperial Clan.” Wei Shendao smiled and quietly looked at Li Tianming, seemingly waiting for his reaction.

Li Tianming, however, calmly nodded and said, “While staying at the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall, I haven’t really paid much attention to the public opinion within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and I don’t know what everyone is focusing on.”

“You don’t seem surprised at all that she’s from the Li Imperial Clan?” Wei Shendao blinked and said, “Could it be that you even investigated this?”

“What’s so surprising about that? This speculation has already circulated among the disciples; it’s a so-called ‘well-known secret,’ but no one has actively exposed it.” Li Tianming smiled slightly and said, “Think about it, even after I revealed a certain background, I’ve been tested by so many people, while this Li Moumou has been famous for so many years, yet no one has discovered her background. So the answer is obvious: those in high positions who might have tested her already know who she is.”

“You’re as intelligent as ever. I knew I hadn’t misjudged you,” Wei Shendao praised with a smile, then asked curiously, “So, are you confident about this battle? This person’s strength is on a completely different level from the young Emperor Li Qianyang; he’s a formidable opponent.”

Li Tianming shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, “This Li is so mysterious, and he’s been in seclusion for so many years. I have absolutely no information about his strength. How can I guarantee anything? I can only say I’ll do my best and unleash my true power.”

“Indeed, I was a bit too hasty. But if you really defeat him, it will be a major event that will shake the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect,” Wei Shendao smiled slightly and winked, “Then… I wish you success.” “Mm

.” Li Tianming nodded slightly, “In that case, I won’t bother Governor Wei any longer. Time is running out; it’s time for me to go to the Myriad Emperors Palace to participate in the battle.”

After saying this, Li Tianming clasped his hands in a fist salute and prepared to turn and leave the Quiet Hall.

“Wait.” Wei Shendao suddenly called out to his retreating figure. Before Li Tianming could react, she smiled and said, “Perfect timing. The Emperor Heaven Pavilion isn’t too busy lately. I’ll go with you to the Myriad Emperors Palace to witness this highly anticipated battle. Besides… in such a grand spectacle, sometimes it’s easy to dodge open attacks but hard to guard against hidden ones. With me here, it’ll be better for you.”

There seemed to be some concern in her words, but Li Tianming knew that her feelings for him weren’t entirely genuine, so he didn’t believe her at all.

Li Tianming turned around upon hearing this, looking somewhat surprised.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble Governor Wei.”

Immediately afterward, the two walked out of the Emperor Heaven Pavilion together and embarked on the route to the Myriad Emperors Palace.

Li Tianming walked behind Wei Shendao.

Of course, the journey to the Myriad Emperors Palace required using the Line Source Plank Road within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

On the way, Wei Shendao suddenly asked with some surprise, “Why haven’t I heard of your two masters appearing in this battle against the number one on the Myriad Emperors Ranking? Aren’t they coming?”

Li Tianming remained calm, appearing somewhat puzzled, and replied, “I don’t know why either. I haven’t been able to contact them at all. I don’t know where they’ve gone.”

“Even I, their superior, couldn’t help but temporarily leave the Emperor Heaven Pavilion to watch over things. How can they, as your masters, be so indifferent?” Wei Shendao seemed to complain a little, then sighed slightly, “If I had a disciple vying for the number one spot on the Myriad Emperors Ranking, I would definitely be the first to go to the Myriad Emperors Palace to guard him. It’s a pity you’re not my disciple…”

“I belong to the Divine Path Alliance, so isn’t that also bringing glory to Governor Wei?” Li Tianming smiled and looked at Wei Shendao, saying, “As for my masters… perhaps they are indeed very busy lately and can’t get away. Once you reach a certain position, many things are beyond your control. If it weren’t for the fact that they happened to be free today, Governor Wei wouldn’t have been able to leave the Emperor Heaven Pavilion, would he?”

“That’s true, but it can actually be handled on a case-by-case basis.” Wei Shendao frowned, then let out a long sigh. “Forget it, I won’t interfere too much in your master-disciple affairs.”

Li Tianming smiled upon hearing this, said nothing more, and continued walking.

Soon, the two of them emerged from the Line Source Plank Road and arrived in front of the Myriad Emperors Palace.

At this time, the countless battle platforms surrounding the Myriad Emperors Palace were all empty.

“It seems that these people aren’t even bothering to climb the rankings themselves, just to watch Tianming and Li Moumou’s battle,” Aurora said with some surprise.

Although the platforms were empty, many people were already coming and going below, surging into the Myriad Emperors Palace like a tidal wave.

Li Tianming was somewhat surprised by this scene. It seemed that the number of people gathered here was already surpassing the number when Li Tianming recruited the Tianming Army at the Myriad Emperors Palace.

Moreover, the number was still increasing!

It could be said that this was the most bustling time Li Tianming had ever seen the Myriad Emperors Palace.

The vast majority of people were now rushing in with their heads down, and some were even running in.

They seemed afraid of arriving late and missing out on good spots to watch the battle.

Even when Li Tianming appeared outside the Myriad Emperors Palace, few noticed him.

So, Li Tianming and Wei Shendao pushed through the crowd and entered the palace.

The atmosphere inside was completely different from outside. Everyone had already secured the best viewing spots they could find.

Most of the Heavenly Emperor Sect disciples were whispering amongst themselves, discussing their opinions on the battle, their eyes darting left and right, seemingly anticipating and searching for someone.

Finally, someone’s gaze fell on the figure of a white-haired youth.

“It’s War God Li! War God Li arrived first!”
