Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7719

Chapter 7634: The Great Contributor

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming’s gaze sharpened slightly, his heart filled with extreme vigilance.

The other party was constantly watching him, even aware of his major accomplishments!

This Eternal Heavenly Emperor had been secretly observing Li Tianming in a unique way, knowing almost everything he did.

However, logically speaking, Li Tianming had already achieved so much within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, not only leaving behind a record of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War but also significantly elevating the sect’s ranking.

This was a truly substantial achievement!

Moreover, this achievement surpassed any contribution to conquering star systems or resisting ancient demons!

Although young, Li Tianming had already made immense contributions.

He was only not of the Li imperial bloodline and therefore not considered a true core figure in their dynasty’s sect; otherwise, his status would likely be even more unique and higher.

Furthermore, Li Tianming would most likely leave the Heavenly Emperor Sect in the future.

He had no enmity with the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, and there was virtually no reason for them to be hostile.

Although the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan had been wiped out in the past, times had changed, and they had long since become a scourge on various sects.

Sects that also possessed this race even wanted to eliminate them as soon as possible!

The entire incident, seemingly a loss for the Heavenly Emperor Sect, actually saw Li Tianming indirectly help them resolve some troubles.

Considering the benefits Li Tianming had brought to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, his existence should have been advantageous.

Therefore, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s change of attitude made no sense at all.

Thinking this, Li Tianming raised his head, his slightly narrowed gaze fixed on the golden-haired figure in the white robe with gold thread, seemingly trying to discern something from his attitude.

However, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor simply watched Li Tianming with a faint smile.

Even knowing many of Li Tianming’s secrets, this powerful young man with golden hair didn’t seem to turn hostile on the spot.

A strange feeling rose in Li Tianming’s heart, a feeling that was almost impossible to shake off!

“Surprised? Even in war, there are spies. It’s normal for me to build the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall and plant spies in the Demon Nest to gather information and minimize casualties, isn’t it?” The Eternal Heavenly Emperor spoke slowly with a smile.

“It is normal, but… you’re spying on me. What are you after?” Li Tianming, holding Jiang Feiling’s hand, looked coldly at the Eternal Heavenly Emperor. The

Eternal Heavenly Emperor watched Li Tianming’s reaction and smiled without answering his question.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu, in its symbiotic space, seemed to sense the strange atmosphere.

It slowly opened its illusory eyes, its gaze fixed on something, its dark energy-formed body surging with undercurrents.

Its previously undulating, beast-like black mist body slowly calmed down…

This posture was like a wild beast sensing the slightest disturbance, holding its breath and crouching!

This meant it was either hunting or had encountered a threat!

In this extremely tense atmosphere, Yin Chen suddenly brought new information!

Its tone was unusually urgent!

“Little Li, something’s happened!” Yin Chen’s voice rang out.

“What’s wrong with me, Yin Chen? Explain clearly what happened?” Li Tianming frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.

“Aunt, tell him!” Yin Chen was also anxious, not wanting to waste a moment.

“Tianming, something’s happened outside!” Aurora, after fully understanding the news, was also incredibly shocked. She quickly said, “Your father-in-law’s family, Li Muyun and her daughter, those young people related to you from the Imperial Clan, Wei Shendao, Jiu Huang, all the people from the Heavenly Emperor Sect related to you, have all been arrested!”

“What? Even my father-in-law?” Li Tianming was somewhat shocked.

After all, Li Dixiao was one of the top ten strongest members of the Li Clan. If even he could be captured, the opponent was definitely not simple!

“How long has it been? How come so many people have been arrested?” Sui Shenyao was somewhat shocked.

“These things happened in an instant!” Aurora’s tone was cold and stern. She continued, “It happened so suddenly. It seems some people were already preparing during our time at the Lingxiao Imperial Palace. This was premeditated, and the ones who made the move were Li Xuanyin and his group!”

To be able to make such a big move within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, even capturing members of the Li Imperial Clan, who were these people acting on their orders? Li Tianming didn’t even need to guess!

He instantly understood that this being before him wanted to put him in a difficult position, and had orchestrated all of this!

Moreover, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s methods were similar to Li Qianyang’s, both targeting Li Tianming’s true weaknesses!

The young Emperor Li Qianyang, during his conflict with Li Tianming’s Imperial Dao, knew that Li Tianming wouldn’t abandon his Divine Treasure Clan people, and thus used the safety of the Divine Treasure Clan people to coerce Li Tianming into submission.

But the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s methods were even more sophisticated!

Even though Li Tianming cared deeply about the Divine Treasure Clan and his Imperial Primordial Dao, his connections with these Divine Treasure Clan members were actually limited, far less than those with his friends and elders within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

During Li Tianming’s time with the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor allowed him to develop relationships with some members of the sect—a carefully orchestrated conspiracy.

From the moment Li Tianming arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Sect and befriended various people, including elders and relatives, his connections with these individuals were already deeper than those with the Divine Treasure Clan.

Most importantly, without Li Tianming’s intervention, the Divine Treasure Clan would have been doomed!

Li Tianming saved them first, and only then did the crisis arise. Even if he ultimately failed to save the Divine Treasure Clan, he could remain at peace with himself.

As for Li Muyun, Li Tianming’s in-laws, and Li Chaoxi, they wouldn’t have suffered this calamity without Li Tianming’s influence!

In other words, the Divine Treasure Clan’s calamity was inevitable, but those in the Heavenly Emperor Sect might have been put in danger because of Li Tianming’s presence!

These are completely different concepts, thus binding Li Tianming even more deeply.

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor had remained silent until now, even after Li Tianming’s annihilation of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan. He knew Li Tianming possessed many methods and had powerful backers, so even if he intervened, he couldn’t harm him.

He allowed Li Tianming to grow within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, building relationships with others, only now preparing to reap the rewards of these connections to manipulate Li Tianming!

This deeper connection held far greater leverage than the Divine Treasure Clan members!

Therefore, Li Tianming was caught in a dilemma.

Should he flee using the World Planet, abandoning Li Muyun and her group, or should he compromise with the Eternal Heavenly Emperor?

In truth, the answer to this question had already been conceived in Li Tianming’s mind the moment it arose.
