Chapter 7009: Little Emperor Heavenly Title!

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Emperor Sect,

in the Myriad Emperors Palace, where disciples gathered in large numbers, many participants in the Myriad Emperors Battle were waiting for their challenge opportunities to refresh.

While resting and watching others fight, someone asked their companion, “What do you think the Young Emperor will do next?”

“Li Tianming refused the Young Emperor’s request, which was legal and compliant, but it still offended the Young Emperor. I reckon he’ll take action against Li Tianming,” someone sneered.

Another person smiled meaningfully, “Although Li Tianming had already offended the Young Emperor regarding his methods of governance, this was only their first interaction, and it’s already turned into such an unpleasant situation. He’s practically courting death.”

It’s fair to say that Li Tianming has completely lost his reputation within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

From the moment he was implicitly accused of opposing the Young Emperor, no one could expect a kind word from him.

The best-case scenario was silence; after all, speaking well of him was tantamount to speaking ill of the Young Emperor.

Meanwhile, someone asked gleefully, “How will the Emperor deal with Li Tianming? I’m getting curious…”

At this point, everyone knew things couldn’t end peacefully; they just had to wait and see how the two would proceed.

“Is there even a question? Now that the young Emperor has successfully conquered the Great Divine Treasury Star System, without the pressure of the front lines, dealing with Li Tianming’s small, newly formed army will definitely involve a massive invasion,” a female disciple in a black dress rolled her eyes. “

Idiot! That blatant approach won’t work. Do you even understand the law? Does dealing with Li Tianming require the young Emperor to break the rules?” a woman in a red dress beside her retorted.

“Then tell me, how will you do it?” the black-dressed disciple said defiantly, hands on her hips.

“Of course, we’ll send out elite troops to suppress important figures like Li Tianming. Doing this secretly won’t cause a huge commotion; it’ll be within a controllable range,” the woman in the red dress said with a smile.

However, not far from them, Jiang Beichen had just finished a battle of ten thousand emperors.

He learned of the recent news from the front lines and, combined with what the two female disciples had said, pondered…

“Both of these methods are too clumsy; the young emperor probably won’t choose them.” Jiang Beichen frowned, his expression grave. “There’s another possibility: listing important fugitives from the Great Divine Treasury Star System, using the pretext of pursuing them, to lead people into the Lesser Divine Treasury Star System to indiscriminately kill innocent people.”

At this moment, Yu Shang, who had met Li Tianming once during a lecture, was also there, passing by Jiang Beichen.

She stopped, her tone serious, “Junior Brother Li is a smart man; he probably thinks of this too. If the young emperor’s idea has even begun to emerge, he probably won’t accept it.”

“I certainly hope Governor Li’s situation goes smoothly, but… the situation is indeed not optimistic.” Jiang Beichen glanced at the person beside him and said helplessly, “If the young emperor pressures him through the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s official channels, he will have no choice but to accept the request to pursue the fugitives.”

“Won’t using the name of justice have any impact on the young emperor?” a green-haired girl asked; she was clearly from the Living God Emperor Clan.

Jiang Beichen’s gaze deepened as he said, “First, the investigation is legal and compliant. Second, once they enter the Lesser Divine Treasure Star System, kill them first. Even if the Heavenly Emperor Sect notices this later, the young Emperor can say that swords have no eyes and that civilians were accidentally injured.”

“Just one sentence, ‘accidentally injured,’ and all of this can be swept under the rug? Those are tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of lives…” The young girl from the Living Spirit Emperor Clan widened her beautiful eyes in shock.

She seemed to be a rather naive girl, untouched by the arrogance of the Guardian Emperor Clan.

Jiang Beichen glanced at her sideways, saying meaningfully, “As long as the young Emperor leads people into the Lesser Divine Treasure Star System, kill them first. These civilians aren’t as important as you think. Not to mention, the young Emperor’s massacre of the Greater Divine Treasure Star System already shows that the Li Clan’s attitude towards the Divine Treasure Clan is indifferent, so the Heavenly Emperor Sect won’t punish ‘their own people’…”

Yu Shang remained calm; at her level, she was already a governor and naturally saw things clearly.

But the other young girl from the Living Spirit Emperor Clan was much younger than Wei Wuji and his ilk.

“How could such a thing happen…” She was completely dumbfounded, deeply shocked.

Of course, this was also what Li Tianming was worried about. Using justice as a pretext for indiscriminate killing, as Jiang Beichen said, the determination of whether it was truly indiscriminate killing or accidental injury could be manipulated within the rules.

Moreover, Li Tianming was already at a disadvantage in public opinion, so he couldn’t care less about the other side’s seemingly legitimate claim.

Those who act justly gain much support, while those who act unjustly lose it.

In this situation, even if people knew the truth, certainly no one would choose to support Li Tianming.

Therefore, Li Tianming was also waiting for the young emperor’s next move.

He would remain still to observe!

After all, he couldn’t take the initiative to attack the young emperor.

First, he had no legitimate reason to do so.

Second, without considering backup plans like Jiang Feiling and Zi Zhen, the difference in combat power was too great; he couldn’t win.

He could only take it one step at a time…

At this moment, in the governor’s mansion, Li Tianming sat in the main seat.

It was a black dragon throne made of divine stone on a high platform.

Aurora and the others sat on either side of him, giving the impression of an emperor with his concubines.

Li Tianming propped his head up, occasionally pondering whether the young emperor had other plans.

“Has the young emperor’s army made any moves yet?” Li Tianming suddenly asked, tilting his head.

“No,” Aurora shook her head, “They’re mostly mining the Divine Treasure Stones, showing no signs of gathering an army.”

Li Tianming nodded, then fell silent again.

There was no pressure from the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and Li Tianming’s communication tower was quiet, with no one contacting him.

Under Yin Chen’s full-view and full-hearing monitoring, no suspicious powerful figures were detected infiltrating the Small Divine Treasure Star System.

Something was strangely calm.

Days passed…

Finally, one day arrived. After Jiu Ding and the others had come before, another cosmic starship flew in.

It flew openly from the direction of the Great Divine Treasure Star System, without any concealment.

“A cosmic starship has passed by,” Yin Chen reminded Li Tianming.

Li Tianming’s gaze shifted from deep contemplation to a sharp, unsheathed sword.

“It seems he’s finally decided to make his move…” Li Tianming said, his eyes profound.

Aurora, standing nearby, said gravely, “It’s the young emperor’s cosmic starship, the ‘Little Emperor Heaven.’ It’s said this starship surpasses even the Heavenly Venerable level!”

At the same time, the Little Emperor Heaven had already descended above the old capital. It didn’t intend to enter through the city gates, and its size was simply too great to pass through them!

The Little Emperor’s Heavenly Ship was actually shaped like a golden divine dragon…
