Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7387
Chapter 7301: Interrogation
“You did indeed achieve remarkable feats in this city defense battle. Perhaps you did find these Demon Queens, but you couldn’t have killed them all at once, could you?” Huangfu Sheng asked calmly from behind the colorful clouds.
“Of course not,” Li Tianming shook his head decisively and said slowly, “Those were more than ten Demon Queens at the Ninth Heavenly Reincarnation level, each with combat power comparable to a Saint Emperor. I couldn’t even handle one of them, let alone eliminate them instantly.”
Behind the clouds, Huangfu Sheng nodded slightly, seemingly acknowledging Li Tianming’s frankness.
Then, Huangfu Sheng continued, “I think you know what we’re going to ask next. Since you didn’t act yourself, who appeared on the front lines and resolved everything? We need to know the truth.”
Li Tianming almost without hesitation, cupping his hands and saying, “I have quite a few wives, a dozen or twenty in total, each far stronger than I am now. I couldn’t bear to see the soldiers on the front lines suffer, so I asked them to resolve the crisis. If this has caused any difficulty for you Holy War Gods, please state the consequences directly; I am willing to bear them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight Holy War Gods behind Huangfu Sheng seemed to exchange glances.
Li Tianming saw all of this, but he remained calm and composed.
Wei Gu smiled and said, “What you’re doing does skirt the rules a bit, but ultimately it’s people-oriented. Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”
Huangfu Sheng smiled slightly and said, “To be honest, your answer does match our guess. The fact that you can attract so many powerful women to accompany you is quite a unique skill. I saw them in the images once; they all seem quite young. This strength can’t be built up by just age; they must have extremely high talent, right?”
Upon hearing this, Li Tianming instantly understood the other party’s meaning and… Suddenly, he said, “Please rest assured, fellow Holy War Gods, my wives are all very sensible and obedient. Regardless of their cultivation level, they will always prioritize their husbands. Furthermore, they have never harbored any intention of being enemies with the Heavenly Emperor Sect; otherwise, they would never have felt comfortable letting me cultivate here and become a member of the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”
Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances, and then Wei Gu smiled and said, “That’s perfect. As long as you consider the Heavenly Emperor Sect your home, we are very willing to provide you with a platform for cultivation, and the Heavenly Emperor Sect will also become stronger because of you. This is a win-win situation, and we hope that both sides can always get along like this.”
“That’s natural. My wives have witnessed my growth in the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and they are also happy for us to develop amicably under such a relationship,” Li Tianming said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, the other Holy War Gods looked at each other, seemingly nodding in agreement.
However, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi could not hear clearly or see their expressions, so they could only wait silently.
At this moment, Wei Gu slowly said, “Regarding your wife’s actions this time, we actually had some discussions about whether to give you a full share of the credit. Our final conclusion was completely unanimous; we all think you should. Would you like to know why?”
Li Tianming’s eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately cooperated, saying, “Of course this disciple is curious and would like to hear the details.”
Huangfu Sheng then slowly spoke, “The matter of the Demon Extermination Army is different from the Emperor Tian Plan. The fundamental purpose of the Demon Extermination Army is to exterminate the ancient demons. Therefore, whether it’s your wife or anyone else, as long as the Demon Extermination Army’s goal is achieved, the credit that is rightfully yours is yours. As long as you don’t make a big fuss about it, we are willing to turn a blind eye.” “After all, when other young War Gods first started out, some elders from the Heavenly Emperor Sect would secretly help them get promoted quickly,”
Wei Gu continued. “We did have some hesitation about your battle achievements before, but it wasn’t that we were unwilling to give you those achievements; your contributions were entirely worthy of them. It’s just that your actions in this battle were a bit too obvious, and we were worried that it might affect your reputation. After careful consideration, we decided to issue you the appointment document as soon as possible. After obtaining the ten-light-year star palace belonging to a ten-star War God, your cultivation will naturally improve faster, and you will soon reach the ‘Saint Emperor level’ combat power. At that time, it will be more reasonable for people to investigate this matter.” “
In short, it’s about letting Junior Brother Li shut everyone up with his strength, letting those who are not convinced come and fight him personally. Only after winning will they have the right to call him ‘Saint Emperor,’ right?” Li Chaoxi listened from the side and pondered for a moment.
“Hehe, Your Majesty’s words are rough but the principle is sound. That’s roughly the idea,” Wei Gu nodded, his head behind the clouds, and smiled.
They all knew that Li Tianming possessed the combat power of a peak Heavenly Venerable and was preparing to suppress public opinion through a roundabout approach.
Although Li Tianming, who had just entered the Saint Emperor level, wasn’t strong enough to defeat more than a dozen Demon Queens, he was at least passable and had more room to manipulate public opinion.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianming immediately cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Thank you all for your concern, Holy War Gods. This disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to your painstaking efforts.”
At this moment, Li Tianming understood that, regardless of his true attitude, at least on this matter, the people of the Holy War God Temple were on his side and had planned the follow-up for him.
Therefore, he sincerely thanked them.
“It’s good that you have this idea.” Wei Gu nodded approvingly at Li Tianming’s attitude, then continued, “However… because you’ve received so much attention this time, it’s best to avoid relying on others’ support once you reach the position of a Ten-Star War God. Prioritize your own abilities from now on; this is better for your own situation. We may acknowledge your contributions, but other members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect might not, which would be quite troublesome.” “
Disciple understands and will certainly remember your teachings. I will pay close attention in the future,” Li Tianming nodded and smiled.
At this moment, Li Chaoxi suddenly laughed and said, “That’s true, but Junior Brother Li, you don’t need to be so serious. Actually, when I was promoted to the position of Ten-Star War God, I also asked my elders for help, but I didn’t advance as quickly as you. To put it bluntly, if such behavior is serious, most other War Gods would not escape punishment.”
“Yes, thank you, Senior Sister Chaoxi.” Li Tianming smiled slightly and nodded, “What happened before was, after all, a helpless act under duress. I couldn’t watch Senior Sister Chaoxi be in danger, nor could I stand by and watch the brothers of the Demon Extinction Army be in danger. I will definitely avoid it in the future.”
