Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7103

Chapter 7014: Tracking Down a Major Criminal!

Having received permission, Wei Tianqiong pulled Li Tianming aside, keeping a slight distance from the young Emperor.

In their almost private space, Li Tianming smiled familiarly, “Uncle Wei, what brings you here?”

“It’s all because of you, you troublesome child,” Wei Tianqiong sighed helplessly. “Let me give you some advice: stop being so stubborn. Chasing down serious criminals won’t affect your governance of your own star system. The Emperor has respected your imperial path, but you must also respect his, right?”

Li Tianming nodded with a smile, “Uncle Wei is right, I understand.”

“That’s for the best,” Wei Tianqiong glanced at Li Tianming, somewhat helplessly, and continued, “Regarding the series of offenses you committed against the young Emperor during your conquest of the star system, the Emperor has truly been more than merciful to you.”

“There’s something I don’t understand. The Grand Governor previously wanted me to hand over the high-ranking officials of the Little Divine Treasury Star System, so why has he changed his mind now?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat surprised.

Wei Tianqiong sighed and explained helplessly, “This final solution was only reached out out of respect for the Living Spirit Emperor Clan. Now that you have a way to back down, don’t be stubborn anymore.”

“I see…” Li Tianming said thoughtfully.

This matter had also troubled Wei Tianqiong before, and he was relieved to have a solution now.

However, he couldn’t quite figure out Li Tianming’s reaction to the young emperor’s proposal this time, which was why he had come to persuade him personally. After all,

Li Tianming had already rejected the young emperor once, and he didn’t know what the consequences would be if he did it again.

Moreover, Li Tianming himself was still affiliated with the Divine Dao Alliance.

“So, what’s your decision?” Wei Tianqiong asked helplessly, staring at Li Tianming’s face.

However, Li Tianming’s response was somewhat unexpected.

“I accept. Tracking down serious criminals is of course no problem,” Li Tianming said decisively with a smile.

Wei Tianqiong’s green eyes widened suddenly. “You agreed so easily?”

“What, Uncle Wei, do you want me to refuse?” Li Tianming asked with a smile.

“No, it’s just that it doesn’t seem like a decision you would make, otherwise I wouldn’t have come in person.” Wei Tianqiong shook his head.

Li Tianming smiled and said, “I have never said I would harbor criminals. That is against the rules of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. My two principles are the Emperor’s Way and the law. So as long as you don’t violate these, please feel free to do as you please.”

Most importantly, he certainly couldn’t show any sign of harboring criminals in public, not even the slightest hint of it.

Now, both he and the young Emperor were being watched by many insiders and outsiders, and any controversial actions could be magnified infinitely.

Therefore, they needed to be even more careful with their words and actions.

The young Emperor had come with all the necessary paperwork, and if Li Tianming showed any sign of obstruction, it would arouse suspicion that he was hiding criminals.

In fact, although the two said they were talking privately, they didn’t deliberately avoid the young Emperor, after all, there was nothing that couldn’t be said.

So the young Emperor also knew that Li Tianming had accepted the suggestion to investigate the criminals.

So the young emperor smiled and said, “Since Governor Li has no objections, shall we proceed with the search?”

Li Tianming calmly gestured, “Please.”

At this moment, the negotiations had reached a conclusion, and so far, it seemed to be going smoothly.

For a moment, it appeared to be a happy ending for everyone.

The Tianming Army soldiers who had been watching the negotiations between the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Li Muyun, a huge weight lifted from her heart. She patted her chest and said, “That’s great! In this way, there should be no more conflicts between the Emperors.”

Pan Yan said in surprise, “I didn’t expect the young Emperor to give our Governor Li so much face. Can we rest assured now?”

Ling Ling frowned and said worriedly, “Facing an opponent of this level, if our Heavenly Mandate Army and the ordinary people of the Divine Treasure Clan were to fight, it would be suicide. Next, we can only rely on the fate of those Divine Treasure Clan Heavenly Venerables.”

Wei Wuji rolled his eyes in the old capital square and said, “They should be secretly laughing at being able to pardon those hundreds of millions of Divine Treasure Clan members. They’re still thinking about saving their own lives?”

The young Emperor smiled and nodded with satisfaction at Li Tianming’s attitude.

“Not bad.” He praised.

Immediately afterwards, the young Emperor waved to the back.

In an instant, all the powerful figures in the golden dragon-shaped spaceship emerged from the dragon’s mouth.

And at this moment.

The Little Emperor Heavenly Ship, which had already released three thousand Celestial Venerables and resembled a golden dragon, began to circle above the old capital.

Although it emitted golden light and didn’t cast a shadow over the old capital, it almost completely blocked the old capital’s view of the outside world.

After all, it was several times the size of the old capital!

The Little Emperor Heavenly Ship hovered above the old capital, completely resembling an artificial golden sky.

Among the Heavenly Mandate Army, someone exclaimed, “It’s truly enormous! Is this a cosmic starship above the Celestial Venerable level? How magnificent…”

“It’s a pity that this cosmic starship is too huge; it will probably have to dock outside first, otherwise I really wanted to take a closer look,” Zhao Guodong said, looking up with some longing.

However, just as everyone was still marveling at the Little Emperor Heavenly Ship…
