Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7376

Chapter 7290: Sweating Profusely

Whether a new Demon Queen is born within a race or this region is invaded by a foreign Demon Queen, it will take time for power to change hands.

Therefore, the beast tide will not return in a very short time.

Li Tianming, of course, understands that if anything unusual happens, the probability of exposing his secret will increase dramatically.

So during this period, he did not rush to plan for the next beast tide.

He stepped onto the Line Source Plank Road and went to the Heaven and Earth Star Palace, to cultivate in his own gray star palace…

Time slowly passed, and he was almost absorbed in his cultivation.

However, after advancing his realm several times, even with the star palace containing the light and shadow of the Stealing Heaven Clan, the effect on Li Tianming was not as good as at the beginning.

This further strengthened Li Tianming’s determination to gain battle merits and advance to the Ten-Star War God…

…

At the same time!

Heavenly Emperor Sect, inside the Emperor Heaven Pavilion.

Just as Li Tianming was immersed in his cultivation in the star palace, Wei Shendao was bowing her head to the communication star tower.

On that communication star tower was a golden figure that she called ‘Holy Emperor Venerable’.

And the atmosphere in this room was very solemn.

This pressure seemed to have brought the entire universe to a standstill.

“Have you been ignoring my orders? Why haven’t you gone to deliver the gifts to Li Tianming after all this time?” the Holy Emperor said, his tone displeased.

Wei Shendao, her head bowed low, dared not look at the golden figure before her.

“Your subject dares not disobey the Holy Emperor’s orders, but… this Li Tianming is indeed cunning and has a special identity. I’m simply waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop,” Wei Shendao said, her voice trembling slightly as she suppressed her fear.

“Heh! An opportunity? How many opportunities have you used just to cripple him?” the Holy Emperor said with a hint of contempt. “I see you’re afraid, but if you’re afraid of him, aren’t you afraid of me?”

Wei Shendao trembled, sweat pouring down her back, unsure how to respond.

The pressure the Holy Emperor exerted on Wei Shendao was immense!

But the pressure of attacking Li Tianming was equally considerable!

As the one who made the move, if she were to face a backlash from those behind Li Tianming, she might be the first to be targeted!

Seeing Wei Shendao remain silent, the Holy Emperor continued slowly, “I know what you’re worried about. Are you afraid that Li Chaoxi, who is now too close to him, will become dissatisfied with you? Or are you wary of the powerful Daoist partners behind Li Tianming? To put it bluntly, you’re afraid that the cost of your action won’t be proportional to the benefits you gain, making it a losing proposition.”

Wei Shendao trembled slightly, and forced herself to speak, “Please understand, Holy Emperor, the vortex of your clash with those behind Li Tianming will have far too great a repercussions. I am merely a lowly Holy Governor, and it’s simply too much for me to bear…”

“You have no right to mention these things!” the Holy Emperor suddenly said coldly.

Wei Shendao fell silent, no longer daring to utter any words of excuse.

However, from her hesitant expression, it was clear that she still didn’t want to act, but perhaps she was forced into it.

Her silence at this moment was, in fact, her answer.

“I can roughly understand your thoughts. After all, who isn’t afraid of death? You really are just a bird that anyone can crush.” Seeing Wei Shendao’s expression, the Holy Emperor said calmly, “However, I must tell you that you will absolutely not die. Don’t worry, I’m not the only one who made this decision; there are other members of the Li Imperial Clan as well.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao solemnly raised her head, her green eyes widening.

Her pupils dilated violently, and she exclaimed in shock, “Holy Emperor, you mean…”

However, at this moment, the Holy Emperor did not directly answer Wei Shendao’s question, but instead spoke without a trace of emotion.

“Li Xuanshu.”

He directly and slowly uttered a name.

“Wh…what?” Wei Shendao’s voice trembled, doubting whether she had heard correctly.

Her eyes widened even more.

“Li Zhenyuan.”

The Holy Emperor ignored her reaction and continued to calmly pronounce the name. As soon as

this name appeared, Wei Shendao’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her red lips parted slightly, “Even he…”

The Holy Emperor continued coldly, “And Li Qiongji.”

Thump!

Wei Shendao was immediately terrified, her body going limp, and she collapsed to the ground, utterly disheveled.

It wasn’t that she was weak-willed; each name felt like a boulder crashing into her heart!

Each of these individuals wielded terrifying power within the Heavenly Emperor Sect!

Ordinary people had never even heard of them; only Wei Shendao, as the Holy Governor, knew of their terrifying power!

However, just when Wei Shendao thought the Holy Emperor had finished speaking, his voice rang out again!

“Furthermore, there are Li Tianjun and Li Shouyi.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao’s face drained of color, turning ashen, and she was drenched in sweat, unable to utter a single word.

The Holy Emperor, ignoring the limp Wei Shendao, continued, “So, this was actually a decision made jointly by them and myself. You can proceed with complete confidence; we are not afraid of the consequences! Whether it’s Li Chaoxi or the people behind Li Tianming, it’s all the same.”

Wei Shendao was plunged into a genuine internal struggle.

If she was merely wary of Li Tianming’s background and Li Chaoxi before, then after the Holy Emperor invoked those names, she certainly felt more confident in taking action.

When one vortex is powerful enough to swallow another smaller vortex, the ripples from their collision become negligible.
