Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7508
Chapter 7422: Venting!
Meanwhile, outside the Super Star Battlefield.
“How is this possible? He even defeated a genius of the fourth-tier Saint Emperor level?” Li Zhaotang’s eyes widened, almost in disbelief.
She had witnessed and marveled at some of Li Tianming’s strength, but she still hadn’t imagined that Li Tianming could actually defeat Jiang Wuqi!
After all, that was a genius on whom the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect placed high hopes!
And now, the facts were laid bare before everyone.
Jiang Wuqi had even used a treasure like the Divine Ruins Emperor Sword, yet Li Tianming defeated him head-on, without any controversy!
Li Xuanyin, who had initially been watching with a detached attitude, saw Jiang Hao’s expression gradually change, and then looked at Li Tianming in the image, and couldn’t help but sneer inwardly: “This battle shouldn’t have been fought at all. Regardless of whether you could win or not, your ability to escape is not bad either, but you obviously didn’t realize this… Winning would offend the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect, losing would mean losing the Emperor Star, it would be better not to fight at all, that’s the best choice…”
At this moment, on the platform where the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect was located.
*Whoosh—*
As a golden light flashed through the air, the space in front of the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect members seemed to be torn open by some force, creating a golden rift!
Suddenly!
*Thud!*
A white-robed youth fell out of the rift, kneeling on the ground, clutching his mutilated cheek.
Jiang Wuqi, having been countered by Li Tianming’s ever-changing and skillful ‘Transformation,’ was instead injured by his own battle technique; half his body was almost destroyed, making him look rather pitiful.
However, since he hadn’t revealed his Cosmic God Origin, using some Origin Spirit Spring wouldn’t be a big deal.
After landing, Jiang Wuqi seemed somewhat silent, quietly using the Origin Spirit Spring to repair his body.
The surrounding atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Seeing Jiang Wuqi in such a sorry state, the dozen or so powerful members of the Divine Ruins Clan all darkened their faces.
“This mere Li Imperial Clan actually has such a person hidden away.”
“It’s understandable for a small, remote sect to want to compete for rankings, but without understanding human relationships, they won’t go far…”
“The Li Imperial Clan… Heh!”
At this moment, the one with the ugliest expression was Jiang Hao, standing beside the Li Imperial Clan’s platform.
Li Zhaotang, seeing his expression gradually darken, suddenly paled.
“Jiang… Senior Brother Jiang, perhaps Wu Qi underestimated his opponent, and our Tianming just had some luck.” Li Zhaotang said somewhat cautiously.
“You mean, Wu Qi is arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone?” Jiang Hao said coldly.
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. It’s… it’s just that there are always unexpected things on the battlefield.” Li Zhaotang was almost incoherent.
This wasn’t just about Jiang Hao personally, but also the pressure from the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect, making it impossible for her not to be nervous.
Before this, almost none of the three members of the Li Imperial Clan thought Li Tianming could win, and they were all trying to elevate Jiang Wu Qi and make a good impression.
But who could have imagined that Li Tianming would defeat Jiang Wuqi so unexpectedly?
If Li Tianming had lost, and Li Dixiao and the other two had offered some flattery, perhaps nothing would have happened, and Li Tianming’s current Emperor Star would have been considered a success.
But now the result was completely opposite. Every word Li Zhaotang and the others said to praise Jiang Wuqi seemed to have become a mockery.
“Your Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect has struck gold. You’re quite something. You know your people are incredibly powerful, yet you still pretend to be humble and dishonest. Now you’re satisfied. Not only have you captured Wuqi’s Emperor Star, but you’ve also slapped the face of the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect.” Jiang Hao’s expression was cold, completely different from his relaxed demeanor not long ago.
“Senior Brother Jiang, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. We don’t know him…” Li Dixiao stepped forward and clasped his hands, seemingly wanting to explain.
However, Jiang Hao seemed completely unmoved.
“Alright.” Jiang Hao looked at Li Dixiao, a hint of coldness in his eyes. “This is your son-in-law, right? You certainly have good taste, finding a ‘good’ son-in-law!”
Li Dixiao’s scalp tightened, the pressure immense, as this matter had indeed caused the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect to lose face.
Moreover, Li Tianming had indeed cut off the chance for their highly anticipated genius to advance further in the Ten Thousand Sect Emperor Battle.
Some sect disciples would risk their lives to improve their sect’s ranking, demonstrating the importance of participation qualifications.
However, just as the people of the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect were extremely cold-faced, and Jiang Hao was about to leave…
on the platform where the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect was located, Jiang Wuqi, having recovered from his injuries, suddenly looked up with a smile.
He seemed somewhat excited, asking, “Where is the platform of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect where Li Tianming is located?”
The dozen or so powerful figures of the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect, who had been shrouded in gloom, were suddenly stunned upon seeing this, seemingly somewhat bewildered.
“Wuqi, if you’re still resentful, we shouldn’t rush to find them. We’ll arrange for you to vent your anger later,” an old man in gray robes advised.
However, Jiang Wuqi shook his head upon hearing this, “No, the outcome is already decided, there’s nothing to say. I won’t cause them any trouble. I want to see what kind of sect can cultivate such an outstanding disciple, and it would be best if I could get to know them. Grandpa Shuoyuan, please tell me where they are.”
“The Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect… is actually just an unknown little sect. What’s the point of befriending them? Besides, they ruined your Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War,” Jiang Shuoyuan said slowly.
It seemed he wanted to dissuade Jiang Wuqi from his idea.
However, Jiang Wuqi became even more excited upon hearing this. His eyes lit up, “Then I’m even more determined to get to know them! To cultivate to such strength in a resource-scarce place, his talent and ability are simply astonishing!”
At this moment, his gaze swept across the platform of tens of thousands of sects, seemingly actively seeking them out.
Finally, he saw Jiang Hao not far away.
*Whoosh!*
Jiang Wuqi immediately leaped over, landing slowly on the platform area of the Li Clan.
“So you are the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect?” Jiang Wuqi glanced at Li Dixiao and the others.
Seeing this incredibly familiar young man, Li Dixiao and the others felt a chill, even more unsure how to react.
“It is we,” Li Dixiao stepped forward first, hesitating slightly. “Young friend, if you still have doubts about the outcome of this match, I can have Tianming finish the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War and then have another match with you. The stakes… you can decide, how about it?”
This was the biggest concession he could make, aiming to make Li Tianming lose a match and resolve this conflict.
As long as Li Tianming’s performance in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War improved, minor losses would be insignificant and could naturally be won back through the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.
Jiang Hao, seeing this, couldn’t help but sneer, completely waiting to see the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect make a fool of themselves.
However, Jiang Wuqi smiled warmly and immediately handed over a communication star tower, saying, “When Li Tianming comes out, give him this communication star tower. If there’s an opportunity, I can spar with him again, but there’s no need for any stakes; it’s purely for mutual improvement.”
Li Dixiao and the others, as well as Jiang Hao standing to the side, were all stunned upon hearing this.
“Wuqi, what are you doing…” Jiang Hao’s eyes widened slightly, somewhat confused.
“It’s better to have more friends than more opponents. Perhaps his background is indeed ordinary, but someone with such talent has reached the grand stage of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle; there are plenty of opportunities for him to soar to great heights.” Jiang Wuqi glanced at Jiang Hao, his meaning self-evident.
Li Xuanyin was speechless at this moment. He never expected the outcome to be like this. Not only had Li Tianming not made any enemies, but they even wanted to befriend him.
At this moment, the coldness that the experts of the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect originally felt had nowhere to vent; it was as if a fist full of power had been pressed back before it could be thrown.
“Since this is your decision, Wuqi, then so be it.” Jiang Hao had no choice but to take a slight step back.
Li Dixiao stepped forward and accepted the communication star tower, bowing slightly and saying, “Thank you, I will pass it on to Tianming.”
At this time, Jiang Wuqi not only didn’t leave, but also lingered on the Li Clan’s platform with great interest, asking about everything concerning Li Tianming.
His eyes lit up when he learned that Li Dixiao was actually Li Tianming’s father-in-law.
“Since the two of you can see eye to eye, then your daughter must also have extraordinary talent, right?” Jiang Wuqi looked at Li Dixiao, as if he wanted to meet another young genius.
However, Li Dixiao smiled helplessly, “I’m ashamed to say that my daughter is quite good in my Li Clan’s Heavenly Emperor Sect, but compared to you, young Daoist, and Tianming, her talent is far inferior.”
“What a pity.” Jiang Wuqi seemed somewhat regretful about losing an opponent, but he also smiled, “However, since her talent is not high, her cultivation and appearance must be excellent? Otherwise, how could the two of them have taken a liking to each other?”
“This…” Li Dixiao hesitated slightly, then smiled and said, “It’s their business as young people do; as long as they are willing, that’s fine. Sometimes, fate is inexplicable.”
At this time, Li Zhaotang also smiled in accompaniment.
Originally, the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect was very likely to retaliate, but now that a turn of events had occurred, they naturally had to be more polite to Jiang Wuqi to avoid bringing trouble upon themselves.
Although Li Xuanyin was originally somewhat gloating over Li Tianming’s entanglement with the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect, he now adhered to the principle of “better to avoid trouble.”
After talking for a while, Jiang Wuqi turned to leave, saying as he departed, “Remember to tell him to contact me when he comes out. I’ll be waiting for him.”
“We will, we’ll tell him,” Li Zhaotang quickly replied.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Wuqi and Jiang Hao left the platform of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect and drifted away.
Li Dixiao and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This battle was a tiny ripple in the grand scheme of the Myriad Sects Emperor War.
After all, there were hundreds of millions of participants, with geniuses from tens of thousands of sects vying for supremacy, creating countless exciting moments. With such a large number of participants, very few people paid attention.
However, the sects surrounding the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect and the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect did notice the near-conflict between the two.
“This Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect is truly formidable; they actually managed to defeat a genius from the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect.”
“However, excessive arrogance won’t last long. When encountering a truly powerful sect, even if their strengths are roughly equal, it’s better to yield.”
“It seems they’re not going to pursue this further, but who knows if the other participants from the opposing sect will come looking for an explanation?”
