Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7588

Chapter 7502: Cognition

At this moment, Wan Yao, Huangfu Yu, and Xiang Qin, the three geniuses who had also advanced on the Star Ranking, had to look at Li Tianming with a completely new perspective.

Jiang Feiling’s golden figure, spanning thirty light-years, was still lingering in everyone’s minds.

The appearance of such a powerful figure was shocking, but even more shocking was that this powerful figure was actually married to a junior under the age of ten thousand!

This fact almost shattered the understanding of everyone present.

At this moment, Wan Cangyuan and the elders from various sects exchanged glances and slowly sat down again.

They all waved, signaling their brought geniuses to take their seats.

Li Tianming’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

He hadn’t expected these sect members to stay instead of leaving.

Of course, besides these elders, everyone else, including the several genius youths and Li Dixiao, was also somewhat surprised.

Their decision meant that there was still room for discussion!

The atmosphere in the private room shifted from the initial harmony of the future Illusion Star Cave to the later tension, and now fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Xiang Yan, dressed in white robes, looked at Li Dixiao and the others and slowly said, “We have a few questions to ask, which will determine whether our discussion can continue. I hope you can answer truthfully.”

“Brother Xiang, please speak,” Li Dixiao said with a slight bow.

At this moment, Xiang Yan glanced at Wan Cangyuan and Huangfu Qi beside him, then turned to the people of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect.

He said in a deep voice, “What is your Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s opinion on the things that the Illusionary Heavenly Ancestor wanted to do but failed to accomplish, and the annihilation of the Illusionary Heavenly Ancestor and the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan within the Heavenly Emperor Sect?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuanyin and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

In their eyes, they seemed to understand each other’s confusion; it turned out they were all unaware of the situation.

“Brother Xiang, to be honest, we knew nothing about the destruction of the Huan Tian Ancestor before this. At most, we only knew that a large number of Huan Tian Imperial Clan experts had ‘disappeared,’” Li Xuanyin said, cupping his hands.

Xiang Yan and the others fell into deep thought, seemingly weighing something.

At this moment, Li Xuanyin, with his back to Jiang Feiling, was already sweating profusely. He dared not look directly at Jiang Feiling.

In this private room, if Jiang Feiling had wanted to, she could have even killed Huan Yuan on the spot. And with Li Xuanyin’s strength, he was far weaker than Jiang Feiling.

There were many traces of his interference in the feud between Li Tianming and the Huan Tian Imperial Clan. He even orchestrated the luring of Li Tianming to the Huan Tian Imperial Mausoleum.

Given the difference in their strength, if Jiang Feiling had disregarded everything, she could have easily crushed him here.

Li Dixiao was also extremely surprised by Li Tianming at this moment, but apart from being somewhat amazed by Jiang Feiling’s strength, he didn’t have many concerns. He was just curious about how Li Tianming had managed to do all this.

At this moment, Li Dixiao looked at Li Tianming and said calmly, “Tianming, now that everything has come to light, would you like to tell me the whole story?”

“Yes, Father-in-law.” Li Tianming nodded decisively, then said with a slightly cold gaze, “Actually, the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan has been eyeing me ever since I began to show my talent. My two masters have been trying to make me a vessel for the Illusionary Heavenly Ancestor to possess, even going so far as to besiege my territory in the Divine Treasury Star System. They have used every means to achieve their goal of resurrecting their ancestor. Fortunately, I have a virtuous wife to protect me, which is why I have come this far. I have only done this to protect myself and have never thought of destroying the foundation of the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

“Such a thing has happened within the Heavenly Emperor Sect that harms a genius. If anything happens to my husband, don’t blame me for declaring war on the Heavenly Emperor Sect. But considering that the grievances should have been settled, and that this series of events should have come to an end, yet someone still comes to seek revenge, I have no choice but to teach them a lesson.” Jiang Feiling suddenly said lightly at this moment.

Although the words seemed light in tone, they actually struck Li Xuanyin hard on the head, leaving him drenched in sweat.

Li Dixiao was somewhat helpless, but could only speak apologetically, “Miss Jiang, it is indeed the Heavenly Emperor Sect that wronged you first, which led to these events. On behalf of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, I apologize to you.”

“Alright, if I wanted to do something, I would have done it already. Now you should discuss my husband’s participation in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.” Jiang Feiling, holding Li Tianming’s hand, spoke calmly.

At this moment, Li Xuanyin faced Xiang Yan and the others again, speaking with a slightly serious tone, “As you all have heard, although the Illusion Star Cave and the Heavenly Emperor Sect have a very deep relationship, this matter was actually orchestrated by the Illusion Heavenly Emperor Clan against Heavenly Mandate from the very beginning. The Illusion Heavenly Ancestor’s desire to possess is also true, as confirmed by Huan Yuan. The causes of this matter are complex, and its essence is indeed not honorable. The Eternal Heavenly Emperor did not mention it openly, and even rewarded Heavenly Mandate’s advancement on the Star Ranking, which can also be considered as a way of helping him by bestowing the Ancient Star Palace…”

His implication was that the fault did not lie with Li Tianming, and that the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, though not explicitly stating it, was secretly supporting Li Tianming.

At this moment, Wan Cangyuan and the others’ eyes flickered slightly; after hearing these words, they already understood the whole situation.

Amidst the exchange of glances, Huangfu Qi, his gaze cold and stern, slowly spoke, “I think… for this second round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle, these four youngsters should join forces. The opponents in this second round are too strong; they should indeed support each other.”

“I agree. After all, our sects have maintained close ties for so many years; we shouldn’t break our unity at this crucial moment,” Xiang Yan said gravely.

“The Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan was at fault first. If we have to choose between the Heavenly Emperor Sect and the Illusionary Star Cave, why should we choose the one who is at fault?” Wan Cangyuan’s gaze was profound. “

Everyone, is this truly the case?” Li Xuanyin’s eyes widened slightly, still somewhat incredulous. “

Of course, I, Huangfu Qi, always keep my word and never go back on my word,” Huangfu Qi said calmly, placing his thick hands on his chest.

At this moment, Li Dixiao and Li Zhaotang, among others, were somewhat surprised.

Li Tianming hadn’t expected the other side to side with the Heavenly Emperor Sect. After all,

given the Illusionary Star Cave incident, it wasn’t just a matter of whether the two sects were allied or not; a major war between the sects was even possible.

Therefore, when Huan Yuan appeared, Li Dixiao and the others were already prepared to be ostracized, and basically had no hope of a successful alliance.

Their final defense could only be said to be to prevent Huan Xing Cave from distorting the facts and judging the Heavenly Emperor Sect from a moral high ground.

Seeing the reaction of the Li Clan’s Heavenly Emperor Sect, Wan Cangyuan suddenly smiled, “What? Could it be that you’re unwilling now that things have come to this?”

“Not so, it’s just… this really took us by surprise. You actually chose our sect’s genius and gave up the opportunity to unite with their two geniuses.” Li Dixiao voiced his doubts.

At this moment, Wan Cangyuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he also spoke frankly, “This Miss Jiang is indeed very strong, and this child named Tianming was able to advance to the Star Ranking, so his talent is naturally beyond question. But how strong they are is irrelevant to us. I didn’t choose Li Tianming, but I chose the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

“But… the strength of the Illusion Star Cave is not weaker than that of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, so this explanation seems a bit far-fetched.” Li Xuanyin was also puzzled.

“No! No!” Xiang Yan denied it several times, then said meaningfully, “The root cause is that the Illusion Star Cave itself has done unscrupulous things. They also have the same bloodline of Illusion God cultivators as your sect, which is similar to our sect’s. This group of people, relying on their control of many sect’s Dao formations, are showing signs of becoming increasingly uncontrollable, arrogant, and unable to distinguish between primary and secondary matters.”
