Chapter 7439: Threat of the Ancestral Ancestor

She continued, “I’ve already abandoned everything and chosen to join your side. If you betray the Heavenly Emperor Sect, I’m doomed too… And if things escalate, Li Dixiao and the others won’t fare any better. Everyone connected to you will be affected. There are too many innocent people in the Heavenly Emperor Sect…”

“Governor Wei, you can rest assured. I won’t provoke any conflict.” Li Tianming looked into her green eyes and said sincerely, “The reason the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan’s experts died is because they wanted to kill me, and they even chased me to my headquarters. I was just retaliating. I never cause trouble, nor am I afraid of trouble. If they really think I’m a pushover, I won’t be polite. So, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about whether the other side will do something foolish.”

“I… understand,” Wei Shendao said blankly.

Li Tianming smiled and continued, “The Heavenly Emperor Sect is vast, and there are many friendly people. I’ve made quite a few friends, and I remember everyone who’s been kind to me. Of course, I’ll reciprocate with the same kindness. But if anyone tries to kill me, I have no choice but to fight back, and if faced with their relentless pursuit, I may have no choice but to annihilate them. So, whether I stand against some members of the Li Imperial Clan, or even the Heavenly Emperor Sect, actually doesn’t depend on me.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao’s green eyes trembled slightly, as if a chord within him had been touched.

Indeed, when had Li Tianming ever actively provoked anyone?

Those he crippled or killed—weren’t their fates sealed by his opposition?

Did maintaining peace necessarily require endless concessions from one side?

At this moment, Li Tianming lowered his hand and slowly said, “Actually, I am grateful to be able to enjoy the resources within the Star Palace, the Divine Pillar Listening to the Dao, and the Young Emperor Tower. The Heavenly Emperor Sect’s provision of these resources has also improved my cultivation. This is genuine training. If it weren’t for protecting my own life, I wouldn’t want to turn against the Li Clan. Moreover, I have many friends in the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Unless absolutely necessary, I would never act rashly. Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the other party doesn’t take the initiative to overturn the table.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Before this, she actually understood that Li Tianming’s personality wouldn’t involve the innocent; otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to abandon the Li Clan and join Li Tianming’s camp.

However, the pressure from the Li Clan’s experts was simply too great, and their initiative in letting her into the negotiation territory clearly meant they wanted to keep her on board, which made her panic!

Now, having received Li Tianming’s assurance, Wei Shendao was indeed much more at ease.

Then, she forced a smile and said, “Actually, regardless of what they think, if you want to prevent the conflict from escalating, you still have one chance.”

“What is it?” Li Tianming asked, slightly surprised.

“It’s the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War you’re currently participating in,” Wei Shendao continued. “If you continue to perform well in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War and achieve even better results, you have a chance to erase the matter of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, and it will also make it even less likely that these Li Clan Emperors will have a chance to attack you.”

The reason for her forced smile was that she also knew how difficult it was to advance further in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.

Li Tianming’s advancement was already an extremely low probability event, and no one could guarantee whether he could create another miracle.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely do my best in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War. Even if it weren’t for this, I would do my best to climb higher,” Li Tianming nodded, his eyes burning.

“Well, I wish you success. If you can continue to create miracles, you will be a legend in the entire history of the Heavenly Emperor Sect,” Wei Shendao said with a smile.

…

After finishing the conversation with Li Zhenyuan and the other Li Clan Emperor spies, Li Tianming quickly left the Quiet Hall.

After leaving Wei Shendao’s side, he walked out of the Emperor Heaven Pavilion.

At this moment, he sneered inwardly, “Ancestor Huantian? Possessing me? Next time I go to the Ancestor Emperor’s Mausoleum, it won’t be to find secrets, but to take your life.”

This Ancestor Huantian shouldn’t have been interested in Li Tianming’s body.

Now that he knows the other party’s conspiracy, even if Li Tianming didn’t enter the Ancestor Emperor’s Mausoleum, he knows the secret.

However, as soon as Li Tianming came out of the Emperor Heaven Pavilion, Xiao Jiu in his companion space seemed to be clamoring to eat more.

“Xiao Jiu, you’ve digested so quickly?” Li Tianming asked with a thought.

“No!” Xiao Jiu said matter-of-factly, and then said, “Every time I call you, you take so long to come. I have to tell you in advance so as not to delay my eating!”

Li Tianming was a little speechless and said, “Then why are you in such a hurry? Just tell me, how much longer?”

“Three hundred years. I will have finished digesting these Divine Treasure Stones in three hundred years. When will you go again?”

“We will go again, ‘we’ together.” Li Tianming corrected.

“I’m too lazy to argue with you, answer me!” Xiao Jiu’s black mist body surged continuously within the companion space.

At this moment, Li Tianming’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and said, “Don’t rush, we still have some things to do. It won’t delay you from eating the Divine Treasure Stones. We’ll talk about digesting them in three hundred years.”

“What other nonsense is there? I’m busy, I want to eat! Take me there!” Xiao Jiu was so anxious that she ran around the companion space.

“What’s the rush? Those Divine Treasure Stones aren’t going to grow legs and run away. Just listen to me, I absolutely won’t break my promise. After you’ve digested them, come with me to take care of something.” Li Tianming’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“I give up! Just say what nonsense it is!” Xiao Jiu cursed.

Li Tianming smiled and said, “After digesting the stockpile for three hundred years, you must have become even stronger, right? With your strength, a Dark Matter Demon like you should be able to do me a small favor, right? You heard what happened earlier; let’s go see what this old corpse of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan is capable of.”

“Tsk!” Little Nine scoffed, seemingly weighing its options. After a long while, it reluctantly said, “Alright, alright, seeing how sincere you are, I can agree. But after I’m done, I want to eat lots and lots of Divine Treasure Stones!”

“Of course, I guarantee you’ll have your fill. Your business is my business. As long as it’s within my power, how could I let you go hungry? Have I ever broken my promise to find you Divine Treasure Stones?” Li Tianming said with a smile.

At this moment, all the companion beasts in the companion space exclaimed in amazement.

Yinghuo said speechlessly, “Sure enough, only food can bribe this Xiao Jiu, just like when he traded sleeping time for battle time with Meow Meow.”

“But Little Li really knows how to manipulate everyone’s thoughts; he can make any brother or sister happy, meow,” Meow Meow said, licking her paw.

At that moment, Li Tianming slightly raised his head, looking towards the direction of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan. His eyes were intense… Now

that he was truly prepared, he would surely sever this sin of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan!
