Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7043

Chapter 6953: Cannon Fodder!

At this moment, Huan Sheng, who had already left the Heavenly Destiny Ship, headed aggressively in one direction.

The others traveling with him were puzzled. A young disciple asked, “Senior Brother Huan Sheng, where are we going? This doesn’t seem to be the way back to the Divine Path Star System, does it?”

There was no direct route from the Heavenly Emperor Sect to the area they were currently in, so they had to return to the Divine Path Star System first.

Huan Sheng said coldly, “I’m going to find that Emperor and join him in attacking the Great Divine Treasury Star System. I don’t even want the credit that Li Tianming has already earned. Working for that idiot is not as good as following the Emperor.”

He looked coldly at the crowd and said, “If you want to come, you can come; if you want to go back to the Heavenly Emperor Sect

, you can go back. Now that you’ve withdrawn from that damned Heavenly Mandate Army, you’re all free.” The other disciples who had received a hundred lashes looked at each other. Someone stood up and said, “Senior Brother Huan Sheng, we withdrew for your sake. Wherever you go, we’ll go. If you want to go your own way, why bother with a hundred lashes?”

“We’ve already left the sect and come to this vortex of war. We should bring some credit back. I’m not willing to leave like this!”

“Do as you please.” Huan Sheng withdrew his cold gaze and walked on his own along the desolate edge of the star system.

The others silently followed behind him.

As Huan Sheng traveled, he spoke in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear:

“Although Li Tianming obtained the challenge from the Little Divine Treasury Star System, which is legally justifiable, he and the Young Emperor are still in a competitive relationship. If it weren’t for Li Tianming, the Young Emperor could have easily swallowed up the Little Divine Treasury Star System.” “

In the end, it was Li Tianming who acted decisively and obtained the challenge in advance. Otherwise, the Young Emperor would have eaten the meat, and Li Tianming wouldn’t have been qualified to drink the soup. If he had just obediently accepted it, that would have been fine, but now he still insists on playing tricks…”

Among the group accompanying Huan Sheng, those whose hips and legs were still aching were naturally filled with resentment and gnashing their teeth.

Someone said, “Senior Brother Huansheng, I think you could say a few words to the Emperor to get him to focus more on the Little Divine Treasure Star System. Then, a conflict could break out between the two sides. The Heavenly Mandate Army is indeed invincible against the new legions, but compared to the Emperor’s army, it’s nothing.”

“Perhaps we can use the Emperor to eliminate Li Tianming, and the Emperor will also conquer another Little Divine Treasure Star System—a win-win situation!”

Huansheng rolled his eyes and said, “Do you think I, at my age, would go to the battlefield of an eighth-level star system to be cannon fodder?”

…

Inside the Heavenly Mandate.

Li Tianming had already learned of the other party’s ‘plan’ from Yin Chen and was now sneering.

Not only this plan, but their every move would be under Li Tianming’s control.

Of course, Aurora and Li Tianming’s closest people had also learned of this.

Aurora and the others were somewhat worried.

An Ning frowned slightly and said, “If things continue like this, won’t things take another turn for the worse?”

“How about we have Zi Zhen…” Sui Shenyao made a throat-slitting gesture, then raised an eyebrow at Li Tianming.

“This little thing isn’t worth it,” Li Tianming said, half-laughing, half-crying. “These people can’t cause any trouble, and it seems there will always be competition between me and that young emperor. There’s no escaping it, so I can’t back down in the battle of the Little Divine Treasury Star System.”

“However, because of this, we might have to change our temporary encampment location…”

With that, he used the starship’s core to control the Tianming, and while maintaining a certain distance from the Little Divine Treasury Star System, found a new, secluded location around it.

Meanwhile, the heartbroken Huanmie cried beside Li Muyun for a while, initially unable to stop the tears.

But later, gradually, the crying turned into soft sobs.

The two, who had grown up together and shared so many years of affection, had just broken up like this.

The impact on her was too great; it was hard for her to accept!

Li Tianming approached Huanmie, feeling a pang of pity at her plight. He said, “Senior Sister Huanmie, I know you’re heartbroken by what happened, but we’re both innocent. If Huansheng sues you, I’ll confront him with you.”

“I’m fine,” Huanmie said, her face still wet with tears, as she composed herself. “However, I’m a little worried about this war. There’s an implicit conflict with the young emperor; could this cause some friction?”

Li Tianming replied, “Perhaps, but that’s not our concern right now. We should just focus on doing what we’re supposed to do. In short, I’ll do everything in my power to win this mission in the Little Divine Treasury Star System.”

Huanmie’s words were filled with heartache. “Actually, I followed the marriage rules of the Huantian Imperial Clan and never had any other intentions. I don’t understand why it turned out this way.”

Li Tianming couldn’t help with such personal matters.

Aurora and Sui Shenyao exchanged a glance, both speechless. They had been mostly by Li Tianming’s side.

This Senior Sister Huanmie had never crossed any lines with Li Tianming; at most, she was just a lowly guardian of the imperial clan.

Yet, she was slandered by her future husband, who, under normal circumstances, claimed she was impure in matters of the heart…

Among the Tianming army, there were many women who sympathized with Huanmie and came to comfort her.

Finally, Huanmie composed herself somewhat, and with the care of her fellow disciples from the Heavenly Emperor Sect who had chosen to stay, she didn’t feel so lonely.

After the Tianming ship changed its base,

Li Tianming was currently in the main cabin, waiting for an opportunity.

Under Yin Chen’s surveillance, Li Tianming was aware of any movement occurring in the two Divine Treasure star systems.

Soon, the situation changed.

At this moment, in the Small Divine Treasure star system…

the allied forces of thirteen star systems had breached the outer defenses of the Small Divine Treasure star system and advanced straight to the Old Capital!

The total force numbered five million, an elite army from various level nine star systems!

The massive army stirred up countless stardust as it marched,

creating a sense of impending doom!

Below the Guanzizai Realm, the starlight surrounding the old capital dimmed, as if a massive mountain pressed down upon it, making it difficult to breathe.

“Kill!!!”

“Fight—!!”

“They can’t withstand our offensive! Force all the Divine Treasure Clan members in the old capital to the Great Divine Treasure Star System, and the resources of the Small Divine Treasure Star System will be ours!”

Shouts of battle shook the heavens as groups of people charged relentlessly towards the old capital.

However, above the old capital, a Celestial Venerable-level Dao Array temporarily halted the offensive of the thirteen-star system allied forces!

Dao patterns on the old capital’s walls flashed with a dark, lustrous sheen, and several black pillars of light shot into the sky, finally coalescing into a ball of black lightning!
