Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7850

Chapter 7766: He Takes Action Personally!

Some time passed…

Inside the Abyss Star Palace.

Inspector Han, Prince Yuan, the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor, the Chaos Demon Heavenly Emperor, and many other powerful figures were present.

Within the tranquil hall, black and red flames burned, and everyone remained silent, waiting.

However, as time passed, they received no news.

The atmosphere gradually grew heavy.

Therefore, everyone’s gaze turned to the very center.

A figure in golden robes and with golden hair was half-hidden in shadow; this was Inspector Han.

“Can you still contact him?” Inspector Han asked Prince Yuan slowly.

“We’ve tried many times, and I can confirm that we can’t contact him at all. The assassination… must have failed.” Prince Yuan lowered his head.

“How is that possible? How could those few possibly resist such an attack?” The Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor’s eyes trembled.

Upon hearing this, whispers immediately broke out among the remaining powerful figures around them.

“This…”

“Could someone be helping him in secret?”

“Unlikely, there was clearly no one else around when our people made their move.”

“That shouldn’t be the case… Just that ‘Flame Venerable’ alone was more than enough to deal with his two backers, plus the dozen or so assassins under Prince Yuan’s command, he had no chance of survival!”

“But the result was that the assassination failed.”

Emperor Zhiwang and the others racked their brains but couldn’t understand how Li Tianming had managed to break the deadlock.

Emperor Hunmo, Empress Yin Yang, and Emperor Wanjian also showed surprise in their eyes.

Assassinating Li Tianming’s backers was a task given to Prince Yuan by Inspector Han, and it was temporarily none of their business.

But upon hearing this news, they couldn’t help but be surprised.

“I didn’t expect that even this couldn’t take down this kid.” Emperor Hunmo crossed his arms and his eyes flickered slightly.

“It seems that the woman behind him has quite a few extraordinary things hidden. To be able to contend with a powerhouse with a body of four thousand light-years, she would be considered a powerful figure even in the inner borderlands.” Emperor Wanjian said thoughtfully.

At this moment, Inspector Han’s gaze turned somewhat gloomy as he looked at Prince Yuan.

Meeting his gaze, Prince Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

“Send more men,” Inspector Han said coldly.

“Lord Han, this group of assassins is already almost the most suitable I can send. Sending more will likely yield the same result…” Prince Yuan said with some difficulty.

“What? You, a prince of the imperial dynasty, can only mobilize this kind of manpower?” Inspector Han’s face darkened, clearly displeased.

“We do have stronger subordinates, but none of them have been imprinted with a soul bond; they weren’t trained as assassins,” Prince Yuan said cautiously. “That Li Tianming has a Phantom God cultivator by his side. I’m afraid without the protection of a soul bond, if the assassination fails, Li Tianming might control us and use it against us, creating more trouble…”

“Lord Han, what he said makes sense. Let’s calm down and think of a more suitable strategy. If word gets out that we attacked Li Tianming, it will be too embarrassing for our reputation,” Empress Yin Yang said slowly as she stepped forward.

This was a good word for Prince Yuan, so he couldn’t help but give him a grateful look.

If Prince Yuan really attacked without regard for the cost, the success rate would be low, and he might even become a pawn if something went wrong.

If it came to that, Inspector Han might be fine, but Prince Yuan would definitely be in dire straits.

Inspector Han glanced at Empress Yin Yang indifferently upon hearing this.

He held a high position and was not unaware of the risks, but he was indifferent to sacrifices in order to achieve his goals.

Moreover, Prince Yuan was currently under investigation, so Inspector Han would be even less lenient.

Facing his imposing presence, the Yin-Yang Empress’s long, straight legs trembled slightly.

She regretted speaking up for Prince Yuan; the pressure of facing the Inspector was too unbearable, even for a top-tier expert in the inner region!

After a long while, Inspector Han looked away.

The Yin-Yang Empress finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Inspector Han looked at Prince Yuan and said calmly, “I told you long ago to send people to keep a close eye on them, and you failed to do so.”

Thump!

Prince Yuan’s knees buckled, and he knelt down on the spot, trembling as he said, “Lord Han, please give me another chance. I will definitely do a good job.”

Although the theft of the Divine Treasure Mine might have been Li Tianming’s doing, he was in charge of the Tianzang Province and also bore responsibility for his negligence.

Therefore, Prince Yuan was indeed guilty in the face of Inspector Han’s questioning.

*Tap tap…

* Inspector Han slowly walked to the kneeling Prince Yuan, looking down at him with an indifferent gaze devoid of emotion.

“This opportunity has been missed. Now I’ll give you a chance to make amends,” Inspector Han said slowly.

“Please speak, Lord Han,” Prince Yuan bowed.

“I want you to personally bring these two women and Li Tianming before me. Can you do that?” Inspector Han asked calmly.

“I will not disappoint Lord Han!” Prince Yuan nodded emphatically.

The Heavenly Emperor of Ten Thousand Realms and the others widened their eyes slightly upon seeing this.

The difference in strength between those assassins and Prince Yuan was enormous. If Prince Yuan personally intervened, the threat to Li Tianming would be immense, perhaps even foolproof.

However, if he failed, the consequences would be extremely serious!

Although Prince Yuan was under considerable pressure, he knew Inspector Han’s determination and dared not disobey.

Other powerful figures from the inner borders, such as the Heavenly Emperor of Chenxi, all realized the gravity of the situation.

“It seems Lord Han has decided to kill Li Tianming…”

“This brat has thoroughly angered Lord Han.”

The Demon Emperor, the Yin-Yang Empress, and others all sneered.

After receiving the order, Prince Yuan swiftly departed from the imperial city, chasing after the direction Li Tianming and the others had gone…

Everyone in the hall watched his departing figure and couldn’t help but sneer.

“This Li Tianming has truly angered Lord Han; he’s practically courting death!”

“With Prince Yuan personally taking action, there’s no reason for any further accidents…”

“This Li Tianming is doomed!”

…

Inside the Danxing Palace.

Only Inspector Liu and Emperor Qianfeng remained in the entire hall.

They seemed to be waiting for something as well, all gazing at the gates of the Danxing Palace.

That was the path Li Tianming had taken.

However, as time passed, Inspector Liu’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if he were gradually losing patience.

Emperor Qianfeng, standing to the side, had mixed feelings.

Due to Inspector Liu’s power, he had reluctantly dispatched a group of assassins to kill Jiang Feiling and Wei Shengmo Ran.

But as time went on, Emperor Qianfeng received no reply.

And the lack of reply most likely meant one thing…

“Lord Liu, the men I sent may have failed; they are most likely dead,” Emperor Qianfeng said respectfully. “It seems the women around him are more deeply hidden than we thought; a single group of assassins is insufficient to deal with them.”
