Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7087

Chapter 6998: You Dare?

“This is your chance. Think carefully about what to say,” Jiuding said calmly, glancing at Huansheng, who was twisted with rage.

Huansheng nodded, then said in a muffled voice to Li Tianming, “Didn’t you say we’d talk privately? There are only fellow disciples from the Heavenly Emperor Sect and a few members of the Divine Treasure Clan here. Is it alright to talk here?”

Li Tianming remained calm and said directly, “Tell me, what suggestions does the Emperor have?”

“The Emperor has given orders!” Huansheng said coldly, extending two fingers and pacing back and forth. “First: You must immediately seal off the Line Source Walkway and stop accepting refugees. Second: List all ten Heavenly Venerables of the original Small Divine Treasure Star System and their direct descendants as criminals and send them to the Great Divine Treasure Star System.”

After speaking, he looked somewhat arrogant, staring coldly at Li Tianming.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor Sect members present, some of whom were secretly observing Jiuding and his group, whispered among themselves.

“It seems the Great Divine Treasure Star System’s victory is already assured, and the young Emperor already has the energy to consider our affairs.” “

Governor Li has already decided to protect the Little Divine Treasury Star System. Now that the young Emperor has given instructions, will he comply…?”

“Perhaps he can’t refuse. He is the Emperor of the Li Clan.”

In addition, there were also members of the Divine Treasury Clan present, including the eight Heavenly Venerable Elders and some high-ranking members of the top Dao Ancestors.

They were all filled with murderous intent and almost rushed out.

However, they were stopped by Wu Xuan and Ji Yu, who slowly shook their heads at their clansmen.

Facing Huan Sheng’s words, Li Tianming chuckled softly and said, “Why would I harm my own people? Can a single decree determine the life or death of my Divine Treasury Clan members?”

Jiu Yuan’s face was frosty as she coldly said, “We already have evidence of their crimes, and naturally have the right to escort them before the Emperor for judgment. Moreover, the Emperor has given the order; do you dare disobey?” “

I know better than anyone whether my people are guilty. What is the reason for asking me to hand them over without cause?” ““Li Tianming said coldly, “Or is it that the Emperor, with just a decree, can override the Emperor Heaven Plan and render the achievements of others’ conquests futile?”

Upon hearing this, some members of the Heavenly Mandate Army whispered among themselves, their expressions strange.

“Yes, even the Emperor cannot disregard the rules, otherwise who would serve the Heavenly Emperor Sect…”

“Governor Li is right, how can someone be convicted with just a decree? That’s unreasonable.”

However, at this moment, Huan Sheng sneered, “This group of people incited the people of the Little Divine Treasury Star System to go to the Great Divine Treasury Star System to participate in the war, which violated the regulations of the Emperor Heaven Plan, and that is their crime!”

“Empty words are not enough!” Li Tianming suddenly said with a cold expression.

“There are prisoners captured on the battlefield of the Great Divine Treasury Star System, which can prove the support of the Little Divine Treasury Star System, and that is the evidence! ” “Huan Sheng said coldly.

In reality, Huan Sheng wished Li Tianming would defy orders and fight the young emperor to the death, but he dared not lie about the information they exchanged, as he could not bear the consequences.

As for Jiu Yuan, it goes without saying that although she also hated Li Tianming, she could only do as the young emperor instructed.

However, facing the other party’s arrogance, Li Tianming said indifferently, “Is this what you want to say?”

“An emperor of such status has already made great concessions for you, a mixed-blood outsider. If you are still ignorant and arrogant enough to not care about the emperor’s concessions, then you are truly hopelessly stupid.” Huan Sheng sneered.

“The young emperor actually admires you.” Jiu Yuan’s tone was cold, and then she said meaningfully, “Even if you conflict with his imperial path, it may affect him, but he has not thought of suppressing you. He has already done more than enough.” “And these two requests you made, while seemingly demands, are actually a way out for you…”

At this moment, the members of the Heavenly Mandate Army were somewhat tempted by the Emperor’s two requests.

“That sounds reasonable. After all, we can’t go against the Emperor.”

“I originally thought the Emperor would be very domineering and order the massacre of the entire clan, but it turns out he only needs to escort away a portion of the Divine Treasure Clan. Now there’s a way out, so Governor Li might as well accept it…”

The high-ranking members of the Divine Treasure Clan present were also somewhat nervous. They were afraid that Li Tianming would change his mind!

After all, this condition at least seemed to be beneficial to Li Tianming and could avoid a lot of trouble later.

In the crowd, Li Mulian was standing in front of Li Muyun, leaning against her thigh.

She turned around and looked up at Li Muyun’s worried face, and said, “Mother, what do you think Senior Brother Tianming will choose?”

“I… don’t know.” “Li Muyun said bitterly, “The pressure from the Li Clan is too great. Of course, I hope he can carry out his path to the end, which will benefit him for life. But I’m also afraid that not acknowledging the young emperor’s kindness will have serious consequences…”

Everyone was watching closely, craning their necks, curious about Li Tianming’s final decision.

However, Li Tianming smiled slightly and slowly said, “First of all, according to the Emperor’s Plan, I have the authority to manage the Line Source Stacks in the star system I govern. If the young emperor needs my cooperation to capture escaped criminals, I can say so at any time, but we must distinguish between criminals and refugees. In other words, I will not completely blockade the Line Source Stacks. I’m afraid I cannot comply with your first request.”

Upon hearing this, Huan Sheng and Jiu Yuan’s pupils trembled, their faces filled with disbelief.

“You’re crazy! You’re absolutely crazy! You actually dare to disobey the young emperor!” Huan Sheng’s eyes widened as he pointed at Li Tianming.

“What’s the rush? I haven’t finished yet.” “Li Tianming smiled and continued, “Secondly, the charges against Wu Xuan and the others, as you say, cannot yet be definitively established. Moreover, they are already subjects under the Heavenly Emperor Sect. According to the Emperor’s Heaven Plan, even if they were guilty, it would be considered normal resistance by the local tribes. As the governor of this region, I have the authority to grant them amnesty upon their submission.”

At this moment, Jiuding’s gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, “Are you trying to question the Emperor’s judgment?”

“Don’t flatter me. It’s not that I’m questioning; this is all within the provisions of the Emperor’s Heaven Plan.” Li Tianming shook his head and continued, “As the governor of the Little Divine Treasury Star System, I, as the governor of this region, will make my own judgment. It’s reasonable and justifiable. Unless it’s my superior governor, no one can interfere.”

These words from both sides shook the hearts of the Divine Treasury Clan members present.

“Faced with such a choice, Governor Li still firmly chooses us.” Someone exclaimed excitedly.

“Honestly, if I were Governor Li, I wouldn’t dare to give a direct and straightforward answer under these circumstances.” Another person said wistfully.
