Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7108

Chapter 7019: Wild Monkey

Li Tianming sneered, “I have never intended to oppose the young emperor. All my actions are within the scope of the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s laws and the Emperor Heaven Plan’s regulations. I am acting justly! He violated the law, and my arrest of him is perfectly justified.”

“Everyone knows what you’re thinking. Are you still trying to bury your head in the sand? Your actions are nothing more than a pointless act of revenge,” Jiu Yuan said coldly, her eyes gleaming.

“First of all, I wouldn’t be so naive as to choose this method, meticulously plotting revenge against anyone. Someone simply broke the rules, and I was just upholding the law,” Li Tianming said, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Secondly, how can you possibly guess my thoughts, and how can you represent everyone?”

“Clever-tongued, all you do is use your words,” Jiu Yuan said coldly, staring at Li Tianming meaningfully. “Just wait and see. You had better continue to be so arrogant. I want to see how long you can keep up this act…”

Li Tianming chuckled. “I’ll return that sentence to you. You’ve convicted me based solely on your conjecture. Is the law a child’s game? If you can’t produce any evidence and instead spread rumors that I’m using this to settle personal scores, I can accuse you of defamation! I hope you can produce evidence then.”

Huan Sheng had said this to Li Tianming before, trying to turn the tide, but was silenced by hundreds of image stones.

Now, Li Tianming said the same thing, leaving them almost speechless. They had no evidence!

The unspoken rivalry between Li Tianming and the young Emperor was an open secret among the Heavenly Emperor Sect members, but it couldn’t be brought into the open.

Currently, no real conflict had erupted between them, and no one could claim that the young Emperor was actively targeting Li Tianming, as that would be beneath him.

“You…!”

Jiu Yuan’s beautiful eyes widened, momentarily speechless at Li Tianming’s words.

Just as she was about to speak again, Jiu Ding suddenly reached out and blocked her path.

“Calm down,” Jiu Ding said calmly.

Jiu Yuan stopped speaking and looked at Jiu Ding with a questioning gaze.

Jiu Ding shook his head expressionlessly and said, “Don’t say anything more. This kid’s method of collecting evidence of the Illusory Life is a bit strange. Perhaps our words have already been recorded.”

Although Jiu Yuan was furious, she felt as if she had been doused with cold water, instantly regaining her composure.

The thought of countless eyes watching her sent chills down her spine.

She nodded solemnly and remained silent for the time being.

“So obedient to advice?” Li Tianming raised an eyebrow.

Jiuding ignored Li Tianming and whispered to Jiuyuan, “If you speak nonsense and he records something with the images, I feel he will use that evidence to make a big fuss, which will greatly affect the Emperor’s reputation. So even if you want to say something, it’s best to think twice before you speak.”

“I understand.” Jiuyuan nodded seriously, her expression cold, and she calmed down.

Li Tianming was somewhat surprised by this, not expecting the other party to be so composed.

However, regarding the speculation about Li Tianming, the other party was overthinking it. He never intended to use such a clumsy trick as asking questions; he simply couldn’t stand the other party’s arrogant and superior attitude, which was why he said a few more words.

The earring formed from aurora light exclaimed in surprise to Li Tianming, “Those who can stay by the young emperor’s side for so long are indeed not fools. This Jiuding is even smarter than I thought.”

At this moment, after dissuading Jiuyuan, Jiuding also earnestly said to Huansheng, “Huansheng, don’t be impulsive. You have to admit to this crime. The evidence is conclusive, there’s nothing to say.” “

Admit to the crime?” Huansheng’s eyes widened, and he said incredulously, “I am now under the emperor’s command. Li Tianming is just a wild monkey from a peripheral star system. As an outsider, what right does he have to make me admit to the crime?”

“What kind of attitude is this?” Even Jiuding, with his usual temperament, frowned. He said, “You go to the prison for a while. Does Li Tianming really dare to do anything to you? After we report to the emperor, we will find a way to get you out. Don’t let things get out of control.”

“We are all guardians of the imperial clan. A mere Li Tianming has scared you like this?” Huansheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Faced with Huan Sheng’s madness, Jiu Ding rolled his eyes speechlessly, “Fine, do whatever you want. I have no obligation to take responsibility for you.”

Seeing Huan Sheng’s stubbornness, Jiu Ding’s eyes showed disappointment.

But the situation had already escalated to this point, and he couldn’t say anything more.

After ignoring Huan Sheng, Jiu Ding thought for a moment that Huan Sheng’s antics weren’t so bad after all.

To the young emperor, Huan Sheng wasn’t a particularly important figure, and his relationship with Huan Sheng wasn’t deep.

This way, he could also probe Li Tianming’s bottom line through Huan Sheng.

“Perhaps telling the emperor the outcome of this matter later would be a great achievement,” Jiu Ding pondered, a slight smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, Li Tianming, holding a black chain with hooked dragon patterns, walked step by step towards Huan Sheng.

This chain was also a military-grade treasure, capable of binding the power of a cosmic god. Its grade wasn’t particularly high, but it was more than enough for ordinary legion members.

Now, Li Tianming’s aura was like a vast, boundless ocean to Huan Sheng.

This was an absolute crushing defeat!

The difference in strength made Huan Sheng subconsciously look around, feeling a little flustered.

However, after being mocked for their kind words, Jiu Ding and the others stood coldly at a distance.

The Divine Treasure Clan and the Heavenly Mandate Army were even less likely to intervene.

Facing the approaching Li Tianming, Huan Sheng raised the blue Heavenly Heart Emperor Sword, his voice fierce but weak: “You have no right to arrest me. My second aunt and second uncle will absolutely not allow you to arrest me for such a trivial matter. Aren’t you afraid that one of your backers will become your enemy?”

“They will understand me, and even if they don’t, it doesn’t matter. I will still do it.” Li Tianming’s gaze was piercing.

“I am a member of the Huan Tian Emperor Clan, and a soldier under the young Emperor. You, a bastard, have no right to touch me!” Huan Sheng’s eyes were fierce.

Li Tianming remained unfazed. He slowly said, “A mere disciple dares to repeatedly insult the young governor. He deserves a slap.”

These words directly struck Huan Sheng’s sore spot!

Several images flashed through his mind: the last time he came to the Little Divine Treasury Star System, he was terrified by Wu Xuan to the point of losing control of his bladder, and his mouth was smashed open.

Despite his high and mighty status in the Heavenly Emperor Sect, he had repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of Li Tianming.

Moreover, he had no way to deal with Li Tianming and had never been able to gain the upper hand!

“Li Tianming…you’ve gone too far!!” Huan Sheng gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Anger completely clouded his judgment, and he actually raised his sword and slashed at Li Tianming.

Even disregarding the vast difference in strength, he directly attacked Li Tianming.

“I’ve never bullied anyone; on the contrary, some people always push their luck, repeatedly provoking me.” Li Tianming’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a murderous aura emanating from his golden-black pupils. “And you, refusing arrest out of fear of punishment, even attacked the young governor—that’s a capital offense!”

Boom—!!

He didn’t even use any fighting techniques, directly throwing a punch at Huansheng.

A massive golden fist imprint enveloped Huansheng, obscuring his final, startled expression.

“What?!” Huansheng exclaimed, feeling his life threatened.

Under Li Tianming’s punch, the Heavenly Heart Emperor Sword in his hand was sent flying countless meters, finally embedding itself in a pile of destroyed ruins.

Poof—!!

The Primordial Divine Seed on Huansheng’s body was instantly shattered, turning into mist in the cosmos!

His body disintegrated inch by inch, like torn pieces of paper!

Li Tianming unleashed this punch with the combat power to contend with a top-tier Dao Ancestor.

The Illusionary Being, directly struck by this punch, was instantly reduced to dust!

Half a moment after the attack ended…

*hum*—its

cosmic divine essence slowly condensed, its aura already very weak.
