Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7785

Chapter 7702: Proclaiming to the World

“Now that you have this status, that insignificant Illusion Star Cave isn’t even a first-level subordinate sect of the Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms. They have no right to attack you. As for the Thousand Illusions of No Life Sect, it should be on the same level as you, but since they are both subordinate to the Eternal Empire of Qianfeng and the Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms, they wouldn’t dare to touch you without a legitimate reason. My father has resolved your safety issue in a relatively tactful way, avoiding direct conflict,” Ji Qingyue said with some joy.

Although Li Tianming had already taken action against the Thousand Illusions of No Life Sect, he had only assassinated some of its high-ranking members.

Because of the existence of the Dark Universe, he hadn’t left any evidence for them, so he wasn’t afraid of being held accountable.

Because of Emperor Qianfeng’s decision, several sects, including the Heavenly Emperor Sect, were elevated to a status equal to the Thousand Illusions of No Life Sect, which undoubtedly gave Li Tianming a great deal of face!

Li Tianming smiled and said again, “Your Majesty has given me such great help, I will remember it forever, and I will repay you if I have the opportunity!”

Emperor Qianfeng smiled and said, “Seize the opportunity to join the Martial Immortal Group, develop yourself well, and you will have the confidence to repay him.”

“Understood.” Li Tianming nodded, then smiled and cupped his hands, saying, “If I achieve something in the future, Tianming will never forget Your Majesty’s kindness.”

Emperor Qianfeng smiled and nodded slightly, then beckoned Ji Ziling to come closer.

“Father, what are your orders?” Ji Ziling bowed and asked.

“Go, draft an edict, convey my order, and announce this matter to the world.” Emperor Qianfeng said calmly.

“Yes.” Ji Ziling bowed slightly and then withdrew.

Emperor Qianfeng looked at Li Tianming and smiled slightly, “You’ve come to the palace again. Don’t rush off. Why don’t you spend some time with Yue’er?”

Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling exchanged a glance, then bowed and said, “It’s our honor.”

Thus, Emperor Qianfeng stayed for a while in the Lingyue Palace, while Li Tianming, Jiang Feiling, and Ji Qingyue stayed a little longer.

In reality, this was also a temporary protection for Li Tianming!

After all, the news of incorporating the Heavenly Emperor Sect and other sects into the first-level subordinate sects hadn’t truly spread yet, and Li Tianming himself still faced some danger.

Once the news had fully spread, he could walk the world almost without fear.

Of course, this was Emperor Qianfeng’s consideration. With the Boundary Planet around, this wasn’t necessary for Li Tianming, but Li Tianming wouldn’t reveal his secret trump card, so he waited patiently.

Time slowly passed…

In the Beacon Ruins.

The imperial city was in the very center, surrounded and patrolled by a large number of troops.

Outside the imperial city, the surrounding areas were filled with high-ranking officials, merchants, ordinary locals from the beacon towers, and a few travelers from beyond the borders.

Everything proceeded smoothly, as usual.

Suddenly

, a crack appeared above the imperial city!

From within this crack, a scroll-like object appeared!

“That’s…an imperial edict!”

Someone noticed this and instantly recognized it.

Thump, thump, thump!

Within the beacon towers, whether high-ranking officials, members of powerful clans, or passersby from beyond the borders, everyone instantly knelt down!

The scroll, radiating golden light, was almost as wide as the imperial city itself, exuding an aura of imperial authority!

After a long while, the scroll slowly unfurled, revealing its contents.

At the same time, a shrill voice rang out:

“By His Majesty’s decree, the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, the Chaotic Dao Ruins, the Myriad Stars Emperor Gate, and the Myriad Phases Battle Sect, a total of four sects, have guarded the borders for millennia, cultivating many outstanding disciples and effectively limiting the expansion of the Primordial Demons. They have rendered meritorious service

in eradicating demons!” “After careful consideration, His Majesty hereby bestows upon each sect the title of ‘First-Class Subordinate Sect.’ From this day forward, they shall pay taxes to the Empire and receive the Empire’s protection. No sect from the outer borders shall dare to invade the subordinate sects of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire without cause. So be it—!!!” *

Crack!

* As the huge golden scroll shattered into countless starlight points, dissipating throughout the entire Fengxu region, this passage instantly traveled throughout Fengxu!

Within Fengxu, regardless of their status, everyone was somewhat stunned by this scene.

“Where did these wild sects come from? How could His Majesty have included them as first-level subordinate sects without any warning?”

“First-level subordinate sects, that’s a status that sects from the outer regions would fight tooth and nail for, and His Majesty just casually included four of them this time?”

For a moment, everyone was bewildered; they couldn’t recall these unfamiliar names.

Until, a voice emerged from among the crowd.

“The Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect… that seems to be the sect of that monstrous genius from the outer regions, Li Tianming! As for the others… they seem to be the sects of those who formed a team with the little princess to participate in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War!”

This voice instantly ignited the entire Fengxu!

“What? It’s them?”

Countless people trembled, their eyes widening to their limit.

“How is this possible? Li Tianming is one thing, but aren’t the others just a burden? How could they be given such a big benefit?”

Many more couldn’t believe it.

“Didn’t we already say? They’ve rendered meritorious service to the Demon Extermination Sect!” someone said.

“Don’t you find that ridiculous? Which sect in the outer regions doesn’t eradicate demons? It’s not that this isn’t meritorious, but it’s not that significant. Most sects are just protecting their own survival; how many are truly acting for the greater good of humanity?” someone rolled their eyes.

The other person sighed helplessly, shrugging, “You think I don’t understand? Frankly, it’s just a title they’re arbitrarily bestowing. Who really knows? I’m not His Majesty’s bedmate…”

The news spread instantly from Fengxu, and slowly, the entire Qianfeng Eternal Empire descended into madness!

Intense discussions erupted everywhere; if it weren’t for an imperial edict, they would have doubted its authenticity!
