Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7842

Chapter 7758: The Golden Palm Print

Led by Ji Ziling and Ji Qingyue, Li Tianming and his group traversed the imperial city.

Soon, they arrived at the Danxing Palace and entered through the gates.

“Lord Liu and my father are already inside. They’re all very excited. Once they see Sister Weisheng, Lord Liu can confidently take Brother Tianming to the Gonghe Shentian,” Ji Qingyue chattered, seemingly quite optimistic.

Along the way, her carefree personality had easily made her somewhat familiar with Weisheng Moran.

Ji Ziling glanced at the two beauties beside Li Tianming, but frowned slightly.

It was already remarkable that Jiang Feiling, a wandering powerhouse, was in the outer regions; now, Li Tianming had another powerful figure by his side, no weaker than Jiang Feiling.

Although she trusted Li Tianming quite a bit, she still felt somewhat uneasy about his meeting with Inspector Liu.

“Forget it, it’s not my business anyway. It’s Lord Liu who wants to see me, and he brought him here confidently, so he must have some backing, right?” Ji Ziling shook her head, dismissing her doubts.

Soon, they entered the Danxing Palace.

After everyone stood in the hall, two pairs of eyes suddenly scrutinized them from above.

Emperor Qianfeng, wearing a magnificent and dazzling crown, was young and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards to his temples, and a face as if sculpted by a broad axe.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze looking down, his imperial aura vast and unfathomable, his power as awe-inspiring as a dragon.

On the other side of Emperor Qianfeng was Inspector Liu, dressed in a silver robe, with a slender waist and graceful figure, and phoenix eyes with upturned corners.

Her superior authority was so strong that even Emperor Qianfeng could not compare to her.

“Greetings, Lord Liu, Your Majesty.” Li Tianming and the others all bowed.

“Hmm.” Inspector Liu responded indifferently.

Then, her gaze mainly focused on Wei Shengmo Ran.

Inspector Liu slowly and openly scrutinized her, as if trying to examine every inch of her skin.

Ji Qingyue and Ji Ziling remained silent, exchanging glances but daring not to speak.

Even a top figure like Emperor Qianfeng of the inner border dared not act rashly.

Everyone was waiting for Inspector Liu.

After a long while, Inspector Liu’s red lips parted slightly:

“What is your relationship with him?”

“Reporting to Lord Liu, we are Daoist partners.” Wei Shengmo Ran whispered, glancing at Li Tianming again.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Liu’s eyes flashed with a strange light, slightly surprised.

However, with the precedent of Jiang Feiling, she quickly accepted this fact.

“Heh…you’re quite the ladies’ man.” Inspector Liu looked at Li Tianming, saying meaningfully.

“Lord Liu, please ask whatever you wish. They are indeed my wives, and the people who have supported me all the way.” Li Tianming seemed oblivious to the teasing, stepping forward and clasping his hands in greeting.

“Let me ask you, how did you two meet, and how did you get together?” Inspector Liu’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Wei Sheng Mo Ran.

“It’s inevitable to encounter hardship when you’re out in the world. He saved me, and as we spent time together day and night, feelings naturally developed.” Wei Sheng Mo Ran answered Inspector Liu smoothly, but her gaze was fixed on Li Tian Ming.

“It’s like this again…” Inspector Liu frowned, his face darkening. “Where did you learn your master’s skills? What’s your family background? You can’t be an orphan too, can you?”

“This…” Wei Sheng Mo Ran frowned, seemingly in pain.

Inspector Liu showed no leniency, stating directly, “I understand that some things may be painful and unpleasant to mention, but today I must ask clearly. Only by being frank with you today can we resolve this once and for all, and I can then feel at ease raising you as my little husband.”

Wei Sheng Mo Ran sighed slightly, then said, “I am not an orphan. I belong to a reclusive family, but… when an ancient demon broke through the local forces’ defenses, it happened to attack our reclusive territory. Our entire clan, men, women, and children, had no choice but to take up the battle and rush to the aid of the local army. However, because the war was sudden, we were completely unprepared and suffered heavy losses. In the end, almost everyone was either seriously injured or went missing.”

“Even a reclusive family should have the location of their clan’s territory, right? Which sect’s jurisdiction was your clan’s territory under at that time?” Inspector Liu ignored her emotions and asked calmly.

“The Wusheng Qianhuan Sect.” Wei Sheng Mo Ran looked up at the other party.

“Where?” Ji Qing Yue was somewhat surprised.

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill, as if they instantly understood.

“Lord Liu, the Wusheng Thousand Illusions Sect is an outer sect primarily composed of Illusion God cultivators, which corresponds to Miss Wei Sheng’s identity as an Illusion God cultivator,” Emperor Qianfeng whispered to Inspector Liu. “Tens of thousands of years ago, the Wusheng Thousand Illusions Sect did indeed have its defenses breached, and the incident caused quite a stir at the time.”

Inspector Liu’s eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. She pursed her lips, about to speak, but Wei Sheng Mo Ran spoke first, her tone low and somber:

“That incident severely injured me, leaving me with a hidden ailment. I was on the verge of death, searching everywhere in the outer universe for something that could cure me. Later, I met my husband, and under his care, using his inherited secret treasure, I gradually recovered from my injuries. Without him, I might already be dead…”

All of this was information gathered by Yin Chen, and it was all true.

In that disaster, a hidden family did indeed intervene, but no one knew the identities of those people.

And now, Wei Sheng Mo Ran was using the identity of a descendant of a hidden family.

The story was flawless, seemingly without any problems.

Inspector Liu remained unmoved, showing no reaction.

Seeing this, Ji Qingyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, “It seems there are no problems.”

Just then…

Buzz—

Suddenly!

A giant golden hand appeared out of thin air in the hall!

“What is this?!” Ji Qingyue and the others’ hearts, which had just settled, jumped into their throats again.

This golden palm print appeared, its dazzling light filling the entire Danxing Hall, with golden feathers fluttering in the air.

The next moment.

Boom—!!!

This palm slammed down fiercely towards Wei Sheng Mo Ran!

The entire Danxing Hall trembled violently, and the building itself was almost crushed by the force of the palm!

Wei Sheng Mo Ran, the main target of this attack, was unable to unleash her Illusionary God Technique. She braced herself with her hands, almost taking the blow with her body!

Crack!

Her body… cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, indicating that her God-like body had suffered great damage!

Immediately afterwards, the Illusionary God Patterns surged out from Wei Sheng Mo Ran’s body. Although they had not yet formed into a complete Illusionary God, they had already exerted all their strength to barely withstand that palm strike.

The palm strike was withdrawn instantly after it was used to suppress the attack.

Inspector Liu remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, Wei Sheng Mo Ran was now swaying precariously.

Jiang Fei Ling wanted to step forward to help him up, but Ji Qing Yue and Ji Zi Ling stepped forward first, each supporting one of Wei Sheng Mo Ran’s legs.
