Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7720

Chapter 7635: Left Arm

He would never abandon these people from the Heavenly Emperor Sect!!!

As for the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s intentions, Li Tianming still couldn’t understand them.

Why did the other party do this?

Or rather, what exactly did the Eternal Heavenly Emperor want from Li Tianming?

Now, Li Tianming was already a candidate for the Martial Immortal Group’s assessment, with a promising future. At this time, befriending him was more appropriate than making enemies, and many inner-region member states wanted to recruit him.

In comparison, the outer regions had lower cultivation talent, fewer strong individuals, and weaker overall strength.

But none of this mattered to Li Tianming; he could already beat up geniuses from third-level member states.

For some inner-region member states, geniuses of this level from the outer regions were highly sought after!

And now, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, while Li Tianming was shining brightly in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, chose to antagonize him…

This left Li Tianming completely baffled!

Because of this choice, he and the Eternal Heavenly Emperor had suddenly become adversaries, reaching a point of irreconcilable enmity.

He knew there was absolutely no way for things to end amicably between the two.

Faced with Li Tianming’s questioning, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor didn’t respond, but instead smiled faintly at Li Tianming, Jiang Feiling, and the others.

He seemed to be waiting for something; he wouldn’t answer Li Tianming’s questions until a certain outcome was revealed.

Finally, a communication star tower in the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s hand seemed to light up.

However, he merely glanced at it and didn’t take it.

The lighting of this communication star tower essentially meant only one thing: Li Xuanyin, Li Zhenyuan, Li Tianjun, and the rest of the Li imperial family had finished their business.

Everyone connected to Li Tianming had been controlled, some even facing life-threatening dangers, and could perish at any moment!

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s message arrived later than Yin Chen’s; he only received it now.

“I guess you’ve received the news by now, haven’t you? Everyone connected to you is in danger of dying at any moment; it all depends on your choice.” The Eternal Heavenly Emperor slowly descended from the high platform, smiling at Li Tianming.

At this moment, he completely dropped the pretense, no longer concealing his intentions or what he knew.

He knew many of Li Tianming’s secrets, including Yin Chen’s extraordinary intelligence-gathering abilities!

This wasn’t particularly surprising to Li Tianming.

After all, those who walk by the river are bound to get their shoes wet; the other party even knew about Li Tianming’s time in the Demon Nest. Based on certain circumstances, it wasn’t difficult to deduce that Li Tianming possessed some kind of extraordinary intelligence-gathering ability.

“What exactly do you want?” Li Tianming’s tone was now somewhat cold.

Everyone who had contact with him was now under the control of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s men, and their situations were all extremely dangerous.

“It’s not me who decides life and death, it’s you.” The Eternal Emperor still didn’t directly answer Li Tianming’s question, but instead smiled and said to himself, “A person as loyal and righteous as you, if your elders and friends died because of you, wouldn’t you feel extremely guilty? At that time, how would you face yourself, how would you continue on your imperial path?”

“All of this has nothing to do with you, but you’ve gone to such lengths, even taking certain risks to target me. What exactly do you want from me?” Li Tianming’s tone turned completely cold.

The two had already reached this point, and there was no need for politeness anymore, so he questioned again with a more forceful tone.

If it were about money, there would be no need for such a large-scale operation; he could simply rob them.

If it were about murder, it seemed even less necessary. Li Tianming certainly didn’t want others to die innocently, but he wouldn’t easily exchange his own life for someone else’s. So, if someone really wanted Li Tianming to exchange his life for another’s, it wouldn’t work.

The Eternal Emperor now held human lives as bargaining chips, and seemed in no hurry at all.

In fact, this feeling of controlling everything was incredibly satisfying.

“Don’t rush.” The Eternal Heavenly Emperor smiled, seemingly relaxed. His gaze shifted slightly to Li Tianming’s side, and he slowly said, “I don’t want anything, just your left arm, and all the secrets of that arm!”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming’s eyes instantly changed.

All his confusion and bewilderment vanished at this moment. He completely understood the other party’s motive for orchestrating this whole affair!

“So this old bastard had suspected Little Li’s identity all along, just waiting for this day. How despicable, how insidious!” Sui Shenyao was furious. “

What he’s after is Tianming’s ability to steal the Heavenly Stealer Clan? Just how much does this person know about the Heavenly Stealer Clan?” Aurora seemed somewhat grave.

Li Tianming was also perfectly clear in his heart at this moment. Since the Eternal Heavenly Emperor knew about the extermination of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan and the major events that occurred in the Demon Nest, he must also know about the process of him taking down the Illusionary Heavenly Ancestor and using the Heavenly Stealer Hand!

At least regarding his ability to break the Dao Formation, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor was fully aware of it.

Revealing this purpose is enough to prove that he has been watching Li Tianming ever since Li Tianming first showed his talent!

In the stalemate, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor smiled at Li Tianming again and said, “I know you can run away at any time. Your planet has saved you from danger countless times, but now, can you ‘have the heart’ to run? Can you abandon those innocent people? They will all die because of you…”

Controlling Li Tianming’s close associates was the ultimate method the Eternal Heavenly Emperor used.

He was certain that Li Tianming valued relationships and wouldn’t let others die innocently.

“You know the origin of this arm? How can you be so sure I will hand it over to you?” Li Tianming suddenly sneered.

“You have no choice now. You only have one choice: hand over this arm and the secret about it. Hand over these two things, and I will release you.” The Eternal Heavenly Emperor said cheerfully.

“Aren’t you worried that I will become stronger in the future and come back to take revenge?” Li Tianming sneered.

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s smile faded slightly, as if he had lost some patience. He said calmly, “That’s none of your concern. You just need to tell me the secrets related to this arm clearly and plainly now.”

Among the captured members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect were also members of the Heavenly Fate Universe Dynasty, which belonged to Li Tianming.

But most importantly, some of them had relationships with him that couldn’t be measured as ordinary friends or elders.

People like Li Muyun, the Tower Master of Moyu, and Jiu Huang had all helped Li Tianming to some extent.

Li Tianming truly couldn’t bear to put these people in danger.
