Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7786

Chapter 7703: Spitting Blood

Inside the Prince Yuan’s mansion,

a tall, thin, aquiline-nosed old man sat, one hand supporting his chin, leaning slightly to one side.

This was Prince Yuan.

He listened quietly as a servant recounted the contents of the imperial edict, his brows furrowed.

Finally, when the servant finished reading, Prince Yuan couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Absurd!”

*Boom!*

He slammed his hand down on the armrest beside him, shattering it into pieces, sending fragments flying everywhere! The servant trembled

, partly from shock, and partly from the fragments embedding themselves in his skin.

The power of that blow was immense!

Prince Yuan’s expression was grim, his other fist clenched tightly, his brows deeply furrowed, lost in thought.

The servant who had delivered the message knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to leave without orders.

The entire Prince Yuan’s mansion seemed shrouded in an invisible cloud of unease; everyone looked in the direction where Prince Yuan usually resided, a sense of apprehension washing over them.

…

The Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms.

In a grand hall of the imperial city.

This place was pure white and flawless, as if it had been formed by blending together milky-white star systems.

Although it appeared simple, beneath its pure white exterior lay almost endless illusionary divine patterns and Dao patterns, the most prized ability of illusionary god cultivators—the ability to use Dao arrays.

Inside this grand hall were the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor and Prime Minister Xu.

The Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor had his hair pulled back, revealing his forehead, his eyes sparkling like they contained a galaxy, and his sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples.

He was handsome, appearing more effeminate than the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor, but this did not detract from his imperial aura.

Prime Minister Xu, on the other hand, had white hair and eyebrows, and a very young appearance. He stood respectfully beside the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor.

The Myriad Realms Eternal Empire was, after all, outside the Qianfeng Eternal Empire, so the news arrived somewhat later.

By this time, the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor and Prime Minister Xu had already received the news for some time.

“Have the people sent to the Wusheng Thousand Illusions Sect arrived?” the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor asked calmly.

“Your Majesty, it will be a while longer,” Prime Minister Xu replied, bowing slightly.

“Tell me, who could be behind this attack on the Thousand Illusions Sect?” the Emperor of Myriad Realms asked slowly.

“As a first-level subordinate sect of the Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms, the Thousand Illusions Sect is generally not something anyone would dare to truly attack, unless… there’s a grudge!” Prime Minister Xu pondered briefly before replying, “At this point in time, the only ones likely to have a conflict with the Thousand Illusions Sect are Li Tianming’s group…” “

Clearly, this is Li Tianming and his people’s revenge against the Thousand Illusions Sect!” the Emperor of Myriad Realms said coldly.

“To attack our first-level subordinate sect, they have some nerve!” Prime Minister Xu sneered.

“The problem is, even if our judgment is very close to the truth, without evidence, we can’t take action against them. At most, we can only protect the Thousand Illusions Sect,” the Emperor of Myriad Realms said slowly.

“But Your Majesty, with Emperor Qianfeng’s intervention, things have become even more complicated,” Prime Minister Xu sighed. “Emperor Qianfeng acted too quickly, making such a huge decision so easily—four slots for first-level subordinate sects… He really dares to do this! Now, we can’t take action against those sects.”

The news of the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect’s heavy losses of high-ranking members hasn’t even spread yet, but the news of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect and other sects being incorporated into Qianfeng’s first-level subordinate sects has already been announced. This obviously makes things even more difficult for Emperor Wanjing.

It’s like two people were exchanging blows, but Li Tianming struck first with his spear, then suddenly withdrew, saying he was done.

Not only did he quit, but he also completely blocked himself with several impenetrable shields, leaving his opponent with nowhere to attack!

This situation made Emperor Wanjing and the others feel like they had swallowed a fly.

Emperor Wanjing pondered for a moment, then finally took out Prince Yuan’s communication star tower.

The communication was quickly established.

The two stared at each other, their faces grim, neither speaking for a moment.

After a long silence, Prince Yuan finally sneered, “This Li Tianming has gone so far as to bully you, can you really tolerate this?”

“He won’t die, are you really content with that?” Emperor Wanjing said, somewhat speechless.

“Let’s get down to business, what are our plans?” Prince Yuan said calmly, slightly toned down.

Beside Emperor Wanjing, Prime Minister Xu tentatively suggested, “How about… we also assassinate him, giving him a taste of his own medicine?”

Emperor Wanjing immediately shook his head. “That won’t work. Our methods are unlikely to leave no evidence. Besides, without finding the person behind Li Tianming, simply assassinating them is meaningless; killing a few small fry won’t vent our anger.”

Most importantly, the Dark Universe’s abilities are unique; apart from Li Tianming, no one has the confidence to assassinate him without leaving a trace.

“No matter what, we can’t let our people be killed in vain, can we?” Prime Minister Xu said with worry, seemingly aging considerably.

The Heavenly Emperor of Myriad Realms and Prince Yuan exchanged a glance, neither speaking, their eyes seemingly swirling with unspoken tension.

…

The Thousand Illusions Sect of No Life.

The Ancient Ancestor Rong and the Sect Master, Thousand Illusions Dingtian, were already in the Imperial Palace of No Life.

However, the Imperial Palace of No Life was unusually deserted this time!

Besides the father and son, only a very few Supreme Elders remained, the last scattered members of their lineage.

Nothing else…

The other two Ancient Ancestors were also nowhere to be found.

The Ancient Ancestor Rong and Thousand Illusions Dingtian both stared grimly at the dimly lit communication tower before them.

“We can’t contact the higher-ups of the Ancient Ancestor Kun and Ancient Ancestor Lan lineages…” Thousand Illusions Dingtian’s voice trembled slightly.

“Who did this?” Veins bulged on the Ancient Ancestor Rong’s forehead.

Several Supreme Elders trembled, not from fear of the Ancient Ancestor Rong, but from fear of the ‘mysterious assassin’!

They didn’t know when the assassin’s blade would fall upon their necks.

However, at that moment, one of the communication towers of the Ancient Ancestor of Melting Light lit up.

After receiving the message, a white figure appeared.

That figure revealed that the Heavenly Emperor Sect and other sects had been incorporated into the first-level subordinate sects of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire.

The Ancient Ancestor of Melting Light’s eyes widened instantly. “These small sects have been incorporated into the first-level subordinate sects? How is that possible?”

Qianhuan Dingtian’s jaw almost dropped, not to mention the few remaining Supreme Elders.

“How is that possible?”

“Has Emperor Qianfeng gone mad?”

“What value do these sects have that makes them worthy of being included as subordinate sects?”

The group of Supreme Elders exchanged bewildered glances, all finding it hard to comprehend.

“How would I know?” The white figure seemed speechless, then said, “But this is an imperial decree; no one dares to disobey it. Let’s behave ourselves for now and see what the higher-ups say. Don’t act rashly.”

With that, he decisively ended the message.

Rong Gu Zu and Qian Huan Ding Tian frowned deeply, pondering for a long time.

Finally, the father and son simultaneously looked up and exchanged a glance, feeling a chill run down their spines…
