Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7115
Chapter 7026: The Heavenly Emperor Sect Shakes!
The Heavenly Emperor Sect disciples remaining in the Heavenly Mandate Army were all those who trusted Li Tianming, so they spoke without restraint.
“The death of such scum is a mixed blessing for Senior Sister Huanmie. While she’s freed from his harassment, she’s essentially a widow. I hope she can get over it…” a female disciple worriedly remarked.
Among the Divine Treasure Clan, those who had suffered under Huansheng’s oppression had witnessed his death, and the news didn’t cause them much shock.
However, some uninvolved members of the Divine Treasure Clan felt a surge of satisfaction. “We can’t do anything to you if you follow the rules, but if you’re so arrogant as to disregard them and tear apart your own protective umbrella, then you can’t blame anyone else.”
At this moment, a sharp voice rang out from the outer perimeter of the Old Capital Square.
“You dare kill a member of my Huantian Emperor Clan?!”
Li Tianming looked in the direction of the voice and saw a couple from the Huantian Emperor Clan.
Even a powerful member of the Huantian Emperor Clan was following the young Emperor Venerable, which surprised Li Tianming somewhat.
But that was all.
“He committed a capital crime, how can we not kill him?” Li Tianming’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the other party.
The angry speaker was a woman dressed in red, with a beauty mark at the corner of her left eye, and a very beautiful appearance.
“Without public announcement, you committed execution privately! If you can’t produce evidence, my Huantian Imperial Clan will make you pay for your crimes in blood!” she said through gritted teeth.
Li Tianming’s lips curled slightly, and he directly took out hundreds of image spheres.
Swish!
These image spheres all showed scenes of Huan Sheng’s evil deeds.
“Evidence?” Li Tianming sneered, “This is what you wanted, clear and simple, what else do you have to say?”
“You, this…”
With conclusive evidence, Li Tianming directly silenced the woman in red, leaving her speechless.
However, at this moment, the man beside her, wearing a blue robe and with the same face, remained silent, his hands always hidden in his sleeves.
Li Tianming suddenly turned his gaze to him, speaking meaningfully, “Right now, it’s just a young, ignorant clansman trying to disregard the law. But if someone tries to destroy evidence, it might get out. Even the young emperor upholds the rules; how can your Huantian Imperial Clan ignore them?”
The blue-robed youth’s pupils constricted, as if a gentle breeze brushed past his sleeve, before he slowly calmed down.
It seemed as if nothing had happened.
However, many people belatedly turned their gazes to them, all with a scrutinizing air.
At the same time, a barely perceptible bead of cold sweat appeared on the blue-robed youth’s forehead.
If this accusation were confirmed, and he were convicted of treason, the consequences would be irreversible.
Even if the Huantian Imperial Clan managed to survive, it would be severely weakened, and its influence among the guardian imperial clans would wane.
Nevertheless, these events still caused concern among the Tianming Army, especially among the disciples of the Tiandi Sect.
“Although it was all legal and compliant, Huan Sheng truly deserved to die. But he was, after all, one of the young emperor’s men. Now, Governor Li has essentially slapped him in the face, and I’m afraid the other side won’t let this go easily,” Yu Zhao said gravely.
Now, his friends who protected the imperial clan have either left, died, or gone into hiding.
Fortunately, he is straightforward and unpretentious, and has still managed to make other friends.
Zhao Guodong, with his arm around Zhao’s shoulder, said, “Brother Yuzhao, you’re making it sound like the young emperor wouldn’t be targeting our Governor Li if he hadn’t died.”
“No, the meaning is different,” Yuzhao shook his head. “Before this, as far as the young emperor was concerned, as long as Governor Li yielded at the cost of damaging his imperial path, he would have stopped. But now, at this critical juncture, a death has occurred, which is an open confrontation, and also Governor Li’s response to the young emperor’s blockade of the old capital.” “
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. We just need to maintain the right attitude, otherwise the humiliation will never end. Anyway, Huan Sheng brought this upon himself, and he didn’t die unjustly. As long as Governor Li didn’t indiscriminately kill innocent people, who cares about the rest!” Zhao Guodong acted as if it were none of his business.
…
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.
News of Huan Sheng’s death also reached the Heavenly Emperor Sect, causing a huge uproar.
Such speed of dissemination would be absolutely impossible without the machinations of hidden forces.
Disciples everywhere were discussing the matter, and anything that happened between Li Tianming and the young emperor was now a hot topic.
It could be said that all factions, from top to bottom, were closely watching them.
“This Li Tianming is far too reckless! What’s the difference between this and declaring war on the young emperor?” someone exclaimed, dumbfounded upon hearing the news.
“It’s different. Li Tianming has always acted within the rules, and the young emperor has no open reason to start a war, but this feud has been formed.”
“However, no matter what, Li Tianming probably has no way out now. The only suspense is how he will die…”
Countless people within the Heavenly Emperor Sect discussed this, all feeling that Li Tianming’s actions were too insane.
Meanwhile, inside the Myriad Emperors Palace,
even more people had gathered, including many of high status, such as the disciples of the Guardian Emperor Clan.
Among them was a man and a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Huan Sheng and Huan Mie—their fifth brother and fifth sister, Fu Ling and Fu Yi!
Both were filled with resentment upon hearing the news of Huan Sheng’s death.
Fu Yi’s pretty face was icy as she said, “He actually dared to kill Huan Sheng! Does he really think my Huan Tian Imperial Clan has no one to rely on?”
“Dare to harm my brother? Then be prepared to face the wrath of my Huan Tian Imperial Clan. Just wait to die…” Fu Ling also said coldly.
Within the Myriad Emperors Palace, many other members of the Huan Tian Imperial Clan viewed Li Tianming’s execution of Huan Sheng as a provocation.
“This Li Tianming is simply courting death! Not only did he refuse to cooperate with the Emperor’s Army in capturing the criminal, but he also openly obstructed them, committing such a heinous act. He must die!”
“He completely disregards the Emperor and my Huan Tian Imperial Clan. He’s playing with fire and burning himself!!”
However, some others were more rational, their opinions not following the crowd.
These individuals, at least, were members of guardian imperial clans, such as the Living Spirit Imperial Clan or the Formless Jade Clan.
