Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7105

Chapter 7016: Plaything

“This young emperor is truly cunning, always finding plausible reasons to commit evil deeds,” Sui Shenyao said angrily.

“So that’s how it is… Now I understand.” An Ning nodded solemnly, then asked doubtfully, “However, are they so certain that all the Divine Treasure Clan’s Heavenly Venerables are in the Old Capital?”

Li Tianming shook his head and said, “This young emperor doesn’t care about those thousands of Divine Treasure Clan emperors at all. If he really wanted to investigate, he definitely wouldn’t have started from the Old Capital, and there’s even less reason for him to seal it off.”

“Don’t care?” An Ning frowned.

“That’s right.” Li Tianming’s gaze narrowed slightly as he said, “What he truly cares about is only one thing, and that is suppressing my imperial path. That’s the fundamental purpose of his trip.”

“So, if he doesn’t investigate those Heavenly Venerables, isn’t he afraid of a future counterattack from them in conjunction with certain members of the Divine Treasure Clan?” An Ning asked doubtfully.

“At least until he suppresses my imperial path, he won’t care about them anymore. It’s not urgent for him.” Li Tianming paused, then continued, “These thousands of Divine Treasure Clan Heavenly Venerables are currently in retreat and need to recuperate. They absolutely cannot return in the short term, so it won’t affect the young Emperor Venerable’s mining of Divine Treasure Stones at all.”

“So, he’s now completely baring his fangs and starting to target us?” Aurora asked somewhat solemnly.

Li Tianming sneered, “He’s already bared them, but he was relatively subtle at first. Because the Heavenly Emperor Sect has too many eyes, it’s inconvenient for him to directly retaliate against me with v*olence.”

Sui Shenyao asked in confusion, “Given his status, it wouldn’t be a big problem for him to do something more direct while walking on the edge of the rules, right? Is it a bit of a waste of time to rack his brains just to annoy us?” “

Of course, it’s fine at the outer sect level. If I clash with him, no one will offend the Li Imperial Clan for my sake.” Li Tianming pondered, “However, I guess that his constant adherence to the rules is related to the competition within the Li Imperial Clan.”

“Internal competition?” An Ning asked with slight doubt.

“Yes,” Li Tianming said meaningfully, “He may face competition within his own clan, but if he cannot legally deal with me within the rules recognized by the many governors of the Heavenly Emperor’s territory, it will lower his prestige and affect his status.”

“So even as a member of the Li imperial clan, he is subject to some constraints,” Sui Shenyao said thoughtfully.

“Of course, in the end, he is just one of the younger members; the real power lies with the entire group,” Li Tianming said sharply. “Therefore, his current disgusting method of ‘nibbling away at the imperial path’ is tantamount to toying with me, but without violating the rules, and no one can find fault with it.”

“Will this bring you any serious consequences?” Aurora asked worriedly.

Li Tianming said calmly, “In the long run, the Shenzang clan’s confidence and gratitude towards me will be weakened by more and more ‘accidental events.’ The ‘benevolence’ part of my Emperor’s Primordial Great Dao will be severely damaged, resulting in a ‘flaw in the imperial path.’”

The so-called ‘accidental events’ naturally refer to actions that cause trouble for the Shenzang clan.

A large number of Celestial Venerable level experts are actually racial enemies of the Divine Treasure Clan.

Their presence in the old capital will undoubtedly cause widespread panic.

Even if these Celestial Venerables do nothing, it’s enough to disrupt the normal lives of the Divine Treasure Clan.

Moreover, according to the young Emperor, he intends to remain in the old capital until he finds the Celestial Venerables.

The problem is, he doesn’t even bother to look!

Therefore, if no solution is found, this garrisoning process will drag on for a long time, perhaps indefinitely, until Li Tianming’s imperial path collapses.

If no action is taken, this situation will continue, and he will surely lose the people’s support.

Aurora frowned and said, “Right now, the young Emperor is mining Divine Treasure Stones on one side while cultivating on the Little Emperor’s Ship. He doesn’t need to lift a finger; he has plenty of time to keep entangled with us. Tianming is truly having a headache.”

“What the heck? Has that little Li become his plaything to relieve his worries?” Sui Shenyao exclaimed in shock.

An Ning said solemnly, “This young emperor’s methods are too insidious. We must do something to prevent him from so easily ruining our conquest.”

“Don’t worry,” Li Tianming suddenly sneered, full of confidence. “The young emperor’s blatant method of gradual encroachment is like walking into my trap.”

Sui Shenyao was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this, then bared his teeth and claws, “So you already had a plan, why didn’t you say so earlier? You made me worry for nothing!”

“I didn’t say there was no way,” Li Tianming said, both amused and exasperated, then directly communicated with Yin Chen, “Yin Chen, have your individual carry the image sphere.”

“What… what are you going to do?” Yin Chen asked, puzzled.

“Isn’t this young emperor using a Dao array to seal off the old capital? Then I’ll seal off the entire old capital from a visual perspective.” Li Tianming sneered, “I’ll have hundreds of your individuals accompany each member of the Divine Treasure Clan to record their experiences during this period from all angles. In this way, no movement within the old capital will escape my eyes.”

“Okay,” Yin Chen said.

However, at this moment, Sui Shenyao asked doubtfully, “What does this mean? Can this really break the deadlock?”

“Of course,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile, “Since they want to handle things officially, using the pretext of investigating criminals to harass my people, then I will handle things officially in my own way.”

“Investigating criminals is indeed within the rules, but if I record their ugly faces as they harass my people, not to mention whether I can use the charge of bending the law for personal gain to turn the tables on the young emperor, even if it’s just spread, at least people will see his true colors, dealing a heavy blow to his reputation.”

As an emperor, if even his people can only helplessly suffer, then the imperial path has come to an end.

Therefore, Li Tianming always fiercely protects the people under his rule, and he will never allow them to suffer injustice!

Knowing that Li Tianming has a solution, An Ning and the others were somewhat relieved.

Aurora smiled and said, “They probably never imagined that we would have Yin Chen’s help to record all their crimes. This way, any transgressions they commit will become evidence in court.”

“Hmph,” Yin Chen said arrogantly.

Beside Aurora’s ear, the silver butterfly ‘ornament’ hidden in the Boundless Eternal Realm fluttered its wings.

Yin Chen, lurking throughout the old capital and carrying countless image spheres, was also hidden in the Boundless Eternal Realm.

This astral power possessed a certain degree of invisibility, making it virtually impossible for ordinary cultivators to detect him.

Everything was arranged; the young emperor had his scheme, and Li Tianming had his own countermeasures.

The situation was slowly unfolding, and both sides awaited the outcome.
