Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7804

Chapter 7721: Creating Miracles

“Perhaps it’s fate,” Jiang Feiling smiled slightly.

In reality, this meeting was essentially an interrogation of Jiang Feiling and Li Tianming by Inspector Liu, clearly trying to uncover Li Tianming’s background.

His attitude was upright and not arrogant, so Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling answered silently throughout.

Of course, their answers were a mixture of truth and falsehood, and he had no way to verify them, leaving some questions unanswered.

After asking a few more questions, seeing that he couldn’t extract any important information, Inspector Liu waved his hand and said, “You can leave now. We’ll talk again when your other backer arrives.”

Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling bowed and said, “Greetings, Lord Liu. We’ll take our leave now.”

After bidding farewell to Emperor Qianfeng and the others, the two didn’t hesitate and turned to leave the Danxing Palace.

Inspector Liu watched their departing figures, his gaze somewhat profound.

Emperor Qianfeng and the eldest princess exchanged a glance. They weren’t quite sure what Inspector Liu was thinking either; they could only guess.

Soon, Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling left the imperial city and walked along the streets of Fengxu.

Along the way, Li Tianming couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ling’er, your performance was absolutely perfect! If I didn’t remember we came from the Vermilion Bird Kingdom together, I would have actually believed you!”

“Let’s not think about these things now. What are we going to do?” Jiang Feiling blinked her beautiful golden eyes.

“We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. We’ll just have to take it one step at a time!” Li Tianming led Jiang Feiling forward, heading first towards the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

“This little Li, he’s so carefree!” An Ning was somewhat speechless.

However, seeing that Li Tianming seemed genuinely unconcerned, she felt relieved.

Besides, whether Wei Sheng Mo Ran met with Inspector Liu or not, it wasn’t actually fatal for Li Tianming.

At most, he would only lose Inspector Liu’s trust; the latter might not necessarily harm Li Tianming over such a small matter.

If Li Tianming performed well enough, he would still have a chance to join the Republic of the Divine Heaven.

Of course, this was the ideal scenario.

…

After Li Tianming left, in the Danxing Palace!

Inspector Liu remained silent for a long time, while Emperor Qianfeng and Ji Ziling dared not leave easily, waiting silently to the side.

After a while, Inspector Liu turned around.

She looked at Emperor Qianfeng and slowly said, “Qianfeng, do you know why I wanted to see the person behind him?”

“I…don’t know, please enlighten me, Lord Liu.” Emperor Qianfeng suppressed his initial guess and instead gave this answer.

Inspector Liu paced back and forth, slowly saying, “To truly value a genius, one must thoroughly investigate their background so they can be used effectively. But… Li Tianming’s background isn’t clean enough for me, let alone unclear. Therefore, I need to see who’s behind Li Tianming; otherwise, there’s no need for me to even glance at him.”

“Lord Liu, isn’t this a bit too cautious? His background shouldn’t warrant such concern,” Emperor Qianfeng asked hesitantly.

“I heard that Wan Jing suffered a silent loss at this kid’s hands? And then you included his sect in the first-level subordinate sects?” Inspector Liu glanced at him, not answering his question directly, but instead asking a different one.

“That’s true, but it’s just a minor skirmish. I saw that Tianming has good courage and talent; it would be a pity if he were to die from a moment of impulsiveness because his sect was destroyed. So I intervened in this feud,” Emperor Qianfeng said slowly.

“Hehe, is it worth it to cause discord between you and Wan Jing for such an uncertain factor?” Inspector Liu asked with a smile.

“Wan Jing will probably only be unhappy for a thousand or ten thousand years. After time passes, he will forget about this matter and continue to associate with us as before. It will not affect the interests of our member states in the slightest.” Emperor Qianfeng changed the subject and said, “However, if Lord Liu thinks this little guy is acceptable, you can take him with you. Treasures and resources are easy to obtain, but a confidant with potential is hard to find.”

“You are quite clever.” Inspector Liu smiled.

Danxing Palace gradually returned to calm.

Thus, the investigation into Li Tianming’s background was temporarily suspended.

…

Soon, a month’s rest passed, and the Wanzong Battlefield once again welcomed a lively scene.

All those who left midway returned to the vicinity of this huge arena.

The exclusive stands of the outer sects were packed. Even though the participants in the current competition did not actually belong to any outer sect, they did not miss the opportunity to watch the battle.

After all, these participants still carried the names of their respective sects. If their corresponding inner-region rulers were pleased, they might even bestow rewards upon the outer regions!

Of course, all parties tacitly understood this, and there was no way to show off with the people of the Republic of the Divine Heaven present.

In addition, the largest number of people were from both the inner and outer regions, crowding the venue to the point of near impassability!

“Finally, the moment of the top sixteen showdown has arrived.”

“Can that Li Tianming create another miracle and fight his way through? Do you think he will win the championship directly?”

“Impossible. Look at who his opponents are. If someone from a mere small sect wins the championship, how could he possibly succeed?”

Everyone was discussing this, because Li Tianming’s special status had garnered considerable attention.

In addition, the powerful figures from the various member states, as well as Inspector Liu, Inspector Han, and the Ancient Martial Immortal, all flew up from the imperial city and arrived at Fengxuan Spirit Island at the same time.

Inspector Han’s ears twitched slightly as he listened to the words of the crowd below, and he couldn’t help but frown. “The Battle of Ten Thousand Sects is a battle of geniuses from all sides, so how can one person’s voice be so loud?”

“Lord Han, there is such a person. He acts too arrogantly. This person is immature. Although his talent is decent, he is indeed not suitable for cultivation,” said the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor beside him.

In fact, everyone present knew who the two were referring to.

Although the Weaving Heavenly Emperor and others also had grudges against Li Tianming, they did not hate him as much as the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor, so they did not respond for the time being.

Inspector Liu laughed upon hearing this, “A young man who is not arrogant is not a good young man. The current system is a bit stagnant. Perhaps it is better to have young people like this to revitalize the inner frontier or the Republic of the Divine Heaven.”

“Arrogance is fine, but one must have the ability to be arrogant,” Inspector Han glanced at the other party and chuckled.

“These voices all come from the outside world, not from any one person themselves. He himself is also bothered by these external voices. If he can still stay true to himself and remain calm and composed, that is truly a skill. Conversely, if he is influenced, he is naturally a restless person, and there is no need to pay any more attention to him,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said slowly at this moment.

He neither thought Li Tianming was good nor bad, but simply viewed him more objectively.

It’s true that Li Tianming has received a lot of attention, but that’s not what he intended, and it doesn’t benefit his Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.

If the opinions of outsiders influence the judgment of those who value Li Tianming, then that would be unfair to him.
