Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7448

Chapter 7362: The Lord of the Stars

Just as Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi were about to leave one of the shops, a group of people in the distance noticed Li Tianming.

“Someone’s watching us,” Yin Chen suddenly communicated with Li Tianming.

Li Tianming’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked in his mind, “An acquaintance or someone else?”

“It’s Li Qianyang, and his relatives,” Yin Chen said with a slightly serious expression.

At this moment, Li Tianming hadn’t yet revealed his expression; Li Chaoxi was still holding Li Tianming’s hand, playing the role of his wife.

Following Yin Chen’s direction, Li Tianming glanced in a direction out of the corner of his eye.

There was a group of people in the distance, one of whom was Li Qianyang.

From Yin Chen’s information, Li Tianming knew the other two were his cousins.

“These two… if I’m not mistaken, they should be Li Yujiao and Li Yufeng,” Aurora whispered in Li Tianming’s ear.

These three were all from the Li Clan’s group of geniuses, and were close to Li Qianyang; Li Tianming wasn’t surprised that they were deliberately watching him.

At this moment, what concerned Li Tianming even more was a young man among the three, dressed in a black and gold outfit.

This man’s eyes were deep and unfathomable, his hands clasped behind his back, his hair simply tied back.

Although his attire wasn’t particularly striking, he possessed an innate air of nobility.

Li Qianyang and his two cousins, standing behind him, bowed slightly, showing respect.

“Is this the Li Tianming you speak of?” the young man in the black and gold outfit asked calmly.

“That’s right, Master Chen, it’s him. He appeared out of nowhere in the Heavenly Emperor’s Territory, causing chaos in our Heavenly Emperor Sect’s outer sect. And with his wife’s background, no one could touch him. Now he’s even faking a marriage to participate in the war—it’s utterly despicable!” Li Qianyang added fuel to the fire.

He completely forgot his past oppression and ruthlessness towards Li Tianming’s imperial path, instead portraying himself as the victim.

At this moment, Li Yufeng, standing to the side, added fuel to the fire, saying, “This person doesn’t respect the rules of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War at all, and his actions are extremely domineering. He’s a cancer within our Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

“Scum like him deserves to be killed by everyone; his death is no pity,” Li Yujiao added coldly.

Hearing their words, the Chen Master’s expression turned somewhat icy.

He said emotionlessly, “I understand what you mean. This is probably another self-righteous frog in a well. His ‘light-year wife’ thing can’t fool anyone. I’ll have someone strip Li Tianming bare, see what good things and secrets he has. Even if his ‘light-year wife’ really comes out, I’m not afraid.”

At this moment, all of this conversation reached Yin Chen’s ears.

After hearing Yin Chen’s retelling, Li Tianming couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

Yin Chen would naturally keep an eye on those who had grudges against Li Tianming to prevent them from continuing their misdeeds, so Li Qianyang’s every move was under Li Tianming’s watchful eye.

Yin Chen already knew Li Qianyang was nearby, so he promptly informed Li Tianming.

Sui Shenyao also knew everything and asked, “Little Li, what should we do now?”

Li Tianming hesitated, “If it were just me, it wouldn’t be a problem, but now Senior Sister Chaoxi is here, which is a bit troublesome.”

“Then what do you mean?” Sui Shenyao asked again.

“Find a chance to separate from her.” Li Tianming immediately made up his mind and said decisively.

Throughout the process of making these decisions, Li Tianming did not show any abnormality, but in fact, he had already planned everything out in his heart.

Li Chaoxi and Li Tianming were strolling along the Burning Heaven Universe Street when Li Tianming suddenly spoke up, “Senior Sister Chaoxi, I have some urgent business to attend to and must excuse myself for a moment. You can continue your stroll by yourself.”

“Perfect timing, I’ve finished shopping too. I’ve bought things for Father, and for Brother and Chaohui. Let’s just go back together.” Li Chaoxi showed off her Sumeru Ring and said with a smile.

Li Tianming looked into Li Chaoxi’s eyes and didn’t say a word.

Li Chaoxi sensed something was wrong and lowered her voice, “What’s wrong? Is something the problem?”

Li Tianming, noticing the four people following them, including Master Chen, lowered his voice and said, “I’ve run into some trouble here and need to deal with it alone, so you should go back first.”

“Ah? No, I can’t leave you behind. Tell me the truth, could it be related to me?” Li Chaoxi frowned, forcibly suppressing her emotions as she whispered.

“From what I can see, it seems to be targeting me, and has nothing to do with you,” Li Tianming said.

“Even so, I shouldn’t leave you behind. If we’re going to leave, we’ll leave together. You resolutely came to save me from the beast tide, I can’t abandon you.” Li Chaoxi frowned slightly, staring intently into Li Tianming’s eyes. “

Senior Sister Chaoxi, this is different from before. To be honest with you, I have a strong ability to protect myself. If you stay, you’ll only be implicated and won’t be able to help me at all, and you might even become a burden,” Li Tianming said earnestly, looking into her eyes.

Li Chaoxi had been hesitant, but upon hearing this, and recalling Li Tianming’s ability to survive several attacks at the Heavenly Emperor Sect, she relaxed slightly.

“Alright, in that case, be careful,” Li Chaoxi finally nodded and said.

Their conversation was like that of a young couple whispering sweet nothings,

so the ‘tails’ following Li Tianming and his group didn’t notice anything amiss.

Li Qianyang, however, was somewhat disdainful of their intimacy:

“It’s a disgrace to the Li imperial clan! To be so i*imate in broad daylight is truly a disgrace to their bloodline.”

If Li Chaoxi had heard these words, she probably would have rolled her eyes.

Although it was a fake marriage, they were still husband and wife; what business was it of this outsider if they were a little i*imate?

However, she was actually unaware of all this, only knowing that Li Tianming was in danger.

After reaching a complete consensus, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi parted ways quietly.

Before leaving, Li Tianming also reminded her to be careful.

“Where are those two going? They were so close just a moment ago, why did they suddenly separate?” Li Yujiao asked, puzzled.

“Never mind, it doesn’t matter anyway. As long as Li Tianming is here, we can’t exactly harm Uncle Xiao’s offspring, can we?” Li Yufeng sneered.

Faced with this situation, the Master Chen seemed to have no reaction.

He seemed only interested in Li Tianming.

At this moment, seeing where the two had separated, the Master Chen immediately waved his hand, and a dark figure suddenly appeared beside him.

The aura of this dark figure was as deep as an abyss, making it impossible to sense its depth.

“Go, follow him,” the Master Chen said calmly.

“Yes.”

After speaking, the shadowy figure vanished from the spot. At

this moment, Li Qianyang and the others wore expressions that were somewhat gloating.

Li Tianming, however, remained completely unperturbed.

He walked towards the Myriad Sects Battle Hall as if nothing had happened…
