Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7072

Chapter 6983: Hopeless

Let alone rescuing the Great God-Hidden Star System, the Lesser God-Hidden Star System might not even be able to protect itself, possibly facing annihilation.

Jiang Beichen kept these words to himself, unable to bear telling these innocent children.

“Wh…what?”

Several God-Hidden Clan boys and girls turned pale with fright.

Even though Jiang Beichen had kept the cruelest truth from them, it was still hard for them to accept, but this was reality!

Their faces were filled with terror; in an instant, the cruel image of fratricide flashed through their minds, and they all shook their heads, trying to shake this horrible thing out of their heads.

This truth cast a shadow over their hearts, but they knew that Jiang Beichen was not lying to them.

This was something that could really happen!

After learning this, the taller, thinner, more mature boy, along with his terrified younger siblings, bowed to Huanmie and the others, saying, “Thank you, brothers and sisters, we understand. We won’t bother you any longer.”

With that, they left. What was more terrifying than knowing nothing was knowing the truth.

Thus, they felt even more confused and heartbroken.

There was no one else beside Jiang Beichen, Yu Zhao, and Huanmie.

At this moment, Jiang Beichen gently nudged Yu Zhao beside him and asked, “What did they say on your end?”

Yu Zhao sighed deeply; even without facial features, his sorrow was palpable.

“Tell me, what do your elders think?” Jiang Beichen urged anxiously.

Yu Zhao faced Jiang Beichen and said helplessly, “What else could they say? They’re all urging me to hurry up and slaughter the Divine Treasure Clan. But if Governor Li really wanted to do this, why would he have dragged it out until now? He has Governor Wei and two masters from the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan behind him; he’s probably already been persuaded.”

“Yes, that’s what I thought too, so I haven’t urged them yet. It doesn’t seem to make much sense,” Jiang Beichen said, frowning and looking troubled. “But the pressure from the elders in the clan is still too great. I verbally agreed, but I don’t know how to explain it. It seems that Governor Li doesn’t want to take action at all, and he won’t even use the last resort of blocking the Line Source Plank Road.”

Yu Zhao turned to Huanmie and asked, “Junior Sister Huanmie, what about you?”

Huanmie’s brows were still clouded with worry. She said softly, “Don’t even mention the other elders. Governor Li’s master, my second aunt and uncle have all come to me to persuade me. What do you think? I can’t stand the headache anymore. The communication star tower keeps ringing.”

She was already somewhat exhausted, tormented by the two things: breaking with Huansheng and urging Li Tianming to slaughter the Shenzang Clan.

As they were talking, one of Huanmie’s communication star towers rang.

She hesitated slightly when she took it out. It was Huansheng’s.

But Huanmie eventually received the message, and soon, a familiar face, exactly like his own, appeared on the communication star tower.

The current Huansheng was different from before; although he still possessed a handsome face, his eyes held a greater degree of ferocity.

Upon seeing Huanmie, Huansheng angrily cursed, “Why are you still following Li Tianming? He wants to die, and he wants to drag others down with him. He’s harming others and himself. Luckily, I’ve already quit, otherwise I probably would have died too.”

Huanmie bit her lip and stubbornly said, “This isn’t a dead end, it’s just another option. There’s more than just the path of annihilation. Besides… it’s better than being a deserter!”

“Pah! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?” Huansheng spat and continued cursing, “I’ve already joined the Young Emperor’s army and am fighting on the battlefield. How can I be considered a deserter? Following Li Tianming has no future, that’s a minor matter. If I end up on the executioner’s block, I’ll have nowhere to cry. Even if I die on the battlefield, it’s a hundred times better than following him and doing these stupid things!” “

But he still has so many people supporting him, while you can only flee like stray dogs with a hundred or so people. His success is what everyone expected. Even now, don’t you understand the difference between you and him?” Huanmie’s beautiful eyes widened as she spoke.

“The gap? This Li Tianming is utterly foolish, yet he possesses the ability to bewitch people, managing to trick so many disciples in the Heavenly Emperor Sect into dying with him.” Huan Sheng sneered, his face sinister. “The legions here, knowing what Li Tianming did in the Little Divine Treasure Star System, are all eager to rush over, just waiting for the young Emperor’s order.” As

his voice fell, shouts faintly came from the communication star tower.

Someone shouted, “A mere outer sect disciple dares to challenge the Emperor’s majesty! After conquering the Great Divine Treasure Star System, we’ll flatten the Little Divine Treasure Star System too!”

“Then we’ll bring both the Great and Little Divine Treasures under the Emperor’s command, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation? Doesn’t Li Tianming like saving the Divine Treasure Clan? We’ll slaughter them all in front of him! Hahaha…” A rough voice laughed wildly.

“These Divine Treasure Clan women may look dark-skinned, but they’re incredibly juicy. It’s a pity the young Emperor ordered that none be taken alive, otherwise I’d keep one as a pet…” someone chuckled sinisterly.

Hearing this, Huanmie’s face turned deathly pale. “No way! This violates the Emperor’s Plan! Absolutely not! Even the young Emperor can’t attack the Little Divine Treasure Star System without cause.”

“Naive!” Huansheng sneered, then added meaningfully, “The Heavenly Emperor Sect belongs to the Li Clan. They are the rule-makers. Who dares say they don’t have some privileges? The key is whether any ‘little fleas’ have angered them. Let’s see if they’re willing to pay this small price. If it’s someone like Li Tianming who’s so arrogant, then it’s really hard to say…”

Huanmie’s expression grew increasingly grave, because she knew very well that what Huansheng said was a possibility!

Seeing Huanmie’s changing expression, Huansheng curled his lip and said, “Run before the conflict breaks out. Don’t ruin your future. If you stay with him, you’ll only be going to your death.”

“No, I won’t leave,” Huanmie gritted his teeth. “I believe Governor Li can make a choice that everyone can accept, and support everything. The Heavenly Mandate Army won’t be finished, and the Little Divine Treasury Star System won’t be finished!”

Huansheng’s face stiffened upon hearing this, and then he said angrily, “At this point, you still want to follow this pretty boy? I’m giving you one last piece of advice, you bitch. For the sake of our years of friendship, don’t be so shameless!”

“We have different paths, so we can’t work together. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. You go your way, and I’ll go mine. The one who chooses to separate first has no right to talk about past feelings!” Huanmie said coldly.

Huan Sheng’s eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted with rage as he said, “You’re the kind of person who’s both despicable and stupid, beyond redemption. I hope you’ll still be supporting your pathetic little lover even when you die. You chose this path yourself, so be a good worn-out shoe and die under the iron hooves of the young emperor’s army!”
