Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7102

Chapter 7013: The Boss Arrives

Li Tianming smiled and said, “The Grand Governor overestimates my Tianming Army. With over a thousand Heavenly Venerable-level Divine Treasure Clan members, how could we possibly have the strength to apprehend them? Even after incorporating the Lesser Divine Treasure Star System, we only have a few Heavenly Venerable-level combatants.”

“Indeed,” the young Emperor nodded slightly, then said calmly, “It seems you truly lack the ability to apprehend criminals. However, I must remind you, harboring serious criminals of the Heavenly Emperor Sect is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one’s family.”

At this moment, within Li Tianming’s companion space, all the companion beasts were overjoyed.

Yinghuo nearly burst out laughing, rolling on the ground and saying, “Exterminate nine generations? If you can help Little Li find his nine generations, he’ll have to thank you.”

Li Tianming, though inwardly somewhat grave, remained outwardly calm, saying, “What do you mean? I may have limited ability to apprehend criminals, but I am utterly loyal to the Heavenly Emperor Sect and would never commit such a heinous act as harboring criminals. Grand Governor, please don’t speak recklessly.”

Regardless, Li Tianming couldn’t show any sign of guilt; this was the prerequisite for carrying out his plan.

If he slipped up, the other side would definitely seize on it.

Therefore, outright denial was always paramount; conviction required evidence.

However, after Li Tianming finished speaking, the young emperor’s gaze deepened, and he said, “Of course I don’t doubt you, but I’m afraid these thieves have secretly infiltrated the Little Divine Treasure Star System. So, to avoid controversy, I suggest you eliminate them as soon as possible regarding the pursuit of these serious criminals.”

“Thank you for your concern, Grand Governor. Although my contribution to conquering the Little Divine Treasure Star System is small, I don’t want it to be tainted.” Li Tianming clasped his hands in a fist salute, and continued, “Regarding this matter, my Heavenly Mandate Army and I will investigate it thoroughly and will not let the thieves slip through our fingers.”

The young emperor smiled and said, “It’s good that you have this awareness, but you don’t need to worry now. After all, these were originally troublemakers who escaped from my Great Divine Treasure Star System. I will take charge of the rest.” “

What does the Grand Governor mean…?” Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly.

“I have reached an agreement with the Divine Path Alliance. Because the Little Divine Treasure Star System has limited ability to capture thieves, I will be stationed here permanently for the next period of time, leading strong warriors to capture these serious criminals until all these thousands of Heavenly Venerables have been captured.” The young emperor suddenly became serious.

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “Now that the Great Divine Treasury Star System is newly established, the Grand Governor has taken away a large number of powerful figures . Isn’t that a bad idea? After all, the surrounding star systems are all eyeing it covetously, also coveting the Divine Treasury Stone.”

“It’s alright,” the young Emperor Venerable smiled slightly. “First of all, they wouldn’t dare to touch my territory. The Heavenly Venerables were only brought out by me, not killed. If these barbarians dare to touch me, I can immediately march on their star system. Secondly, I also don’t want the remnants left behind by my Great Divine Treasury Star System to harm others, so I had no choice but to do this.”

At this moment, whispers circulated among the Heavenly Venerables behind him.

“The Emperor Venerable is indeed mighty and domineering. I reckon those cowards wouldn’t dare to act rashly. At worst, we’ll just kill them!”

“Not only is he domineering, but the Emperor Venerable is also truly benevolent. Even though these fugitives are already wanted criminals of the Heavenly Emperor Sect and are under everyone’s jurisdiction, for the sake of the stability of the universe, he still took this responsibility upon himself…”

Some people were almost moved to tears by his words.

“How dare anyone criticize the Emperor’s cruelty? In my opinion, the Emperor is simply a benevolent ruler for all ages!”

Among the assembled Celestial Venerables, especially those who had come from other star systems, everyone praised him in their own way.

However, the young Emperor remained indifferent, showing no reaction whatsoever, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In the midst of Li Tianming’s conversation with the young Emperor, a clear voice suddenly broke through: “Tianming, the Emperor’s kindness is too much to ask for; quickly express your gratitude.”

From the Little Emperor’s Heavenly Ship, a refined and handsome middle-aged man stepped out.

He had long green hair and fair skin, a true beauty.

“Uncle Wei?” Li Tianming looked at the newcomer with some surprise.

The newcomer was Wei Wuji’s cousin, Wei Tianqiong, who had also helped Li Tianming guide him to Wind Chaser Valley.

At the same time, beside Wei Tianqiong was a young man, Wei Tianqiong’s son, Wei Tiansheng!

As a governor, he was stronger and had more battle experience.

But at this moment, watching the calm and collected negotiation between Li Tianming and the young emperor, and the well-organized Little Divine Treasury Star System under his rule,

Wei Tiansheng was deeply shaken. His pupils trembled slightly, but he forcibly suppressed the change in his expression.

“I never expected that he would actually take over the Little Divine Treasury Star System, and even make that stubborn race submit.”

“With my strength as a fifth-tier Heavenly Venerable, and with more than five hundred level-nine star systems under my control, I still failed to attack the Little Divine Treasury Star System. This Li Tianming isn’t even a Heavenly Venerable, and he has no foundation whatsoever, yet he was able to do it…”

This greatly shocked him, like a fairy tale, and he couldn’t believe it at all.

The Little Divine Treasury Star System could actually compete with weaker level-eight star systems.

In other words, Li Tianming, who had taken over the Little Divine Treasury Star System, had already surpassed Wei Tiansheng and obtained the ticket to become the Grand Governor.

Amidst the shock, Wei Tiansheng also sneered inwardly.

“This person may have some strategy, but he’s far too arrogant and haughty, repeatedly clashing with the Emperor. He’s utterly courting death.”

“He’s good at playing petty tricks, but he loses his mind on crucial issues. He definitely won’t go far…”

While the young Emperor offered to help catch the thief,

the disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect within the old capital were also whispering amongst themselves.

“Initially, the young Emperor even asked Governor Li to hand over the high-ranking officials of the Little Divine Treasury Star System, but now he’s only asking to capture the Heavenly Venerable criminals…”

“I never expected the young Emperor to back down again and again for Governor Li.”

“If he only targets a thousand Heavenly Venerables, it means he won’t pursue the hundreds of millions of refugees from the Great Divine Treasury Star System.”

“Our Governor Li is actually so highly regarded by the young Emperor, having such a high enough face to personally negotiate with the Divine Dao Alliance, even inviting his direct subordinate, Grand Governor Wei Tianqiong.”

In everyone’s eyes, this was already a huge concession for Li Tianming.

This decision seemed to pose no threat whatsoever to Li Tianming and the Little Divine Treasury Star System. In fact, it caused Li Tianming’s legion to be so anxious that they lacked the strength to apprehend the criminals, prompting him to personally lead reinforcements.

At this moment, Wei Tianqiong also stepped forward, approaching Li Tianming and the young Emperor.

He then apologetically said to the young Emperor, “Emperor, may I speak with him for a few moments? It won’t take up too much time, is that alright?”

“Please go ahead,” the young Emperor replied with a slight smile and a slight nod.

He seemed completely unconcerned.
