Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7125

Chapter 7036: Who is she?

They didn’t recognize Zi Zhen, though he was a powerful figure of unknown origin. He had saved them, and they were deeply grateful.

This was similar to Li Tianming’s subjugation of the Little Divine Treasure Star System. Although they hated the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Li Tianming had indeed saved them from annihilation, so the entire Divine Treasure Clan respected him.

Clear distinction between love and hate—this was a straightforward and simple essence of the Divine Treasure Clan!

Meanwhile, the Divine Treasure Clan members who hadn’t been attacked were also drawn by the commotion of the Earth Demon Blood Vine King’s appearance.

Upon arriving at the scene, they were all stunned by what they saw.

“Where did this senior come from? Which faction does she belong to?”

“She’s so powerful!”

“Our old capital actually has such a powerful figure hidden within it?”

“No matter what, she saved our people; she’s our benefactor!”

These Divine Treasure Clan members who had rushed from the surrounding areas knelt before Zi Zhen, expressing their gratitude on behalf of their saved comrades.

At this moment, in a corner not far away, Jiu Ding and the others watched Zi Zhen’s figure with profound gazes.

“Finally found the person. It seems this is Li Tianming’s background,” Jiu Yangui sneered.

Jiu Siheng looked at Jiu Ding beside him and smiled slightly, “Did you record it? This major discovery is very valuable intelligence, a great achievement.”

Jiu Ding sneered, “Don’t worry, I recorded the whole thing with the image sphere. The old capital has blocked the communication signal, but the image sphere in my hand can be synchronized to the Little Emperor Heaven, and then it can be transmitted back to the Heavenly Emperor Sect. From now on, Li Tianming’s secret will no longer be a secret…”

“Well done, keep watching, maybe there will be new discoveries later, record them all carefully.” Jiu Siheng patted Jiu Ding’s shoulder and said with satisfaction.

Although it seems that the Earth Demon Blood Vine King is almost suppressed, they are not worried at all, because the purpose of this operation is not to cause destruction, but to release bait and wait for the fish to take the bait.

And now this ‘bait’ has attracted Zi Zhen, the ‘fish’ in their eyes, which is enough. Whether the bait is eaten or not is irrelevant.

Meanwhile, Li Tianming, having received the news, arrived at the scene immediately. His sharp gaze swept over the Divine Treasure Clan members and the various Heavenly Venerables under the young Emperor’s command.

“It’s Governor Li!” someone exclaimed upon spotting him.

The instant this voice rang out, countless eyes turned to Li Tianming, their expressions complex.

“Faced with such an enemy, it seems the Heavenly Mandate Army is helpless…”

“This mysterious powerhouse, we don’t know where she came from. She can protect us for a while, but she can’t protect us forever, can she?” “

We can’t think like that. After all, the Heavenly Mandate Army has helped us so many times. We know Governor Li has done her best, but… there’s really nothing we can do!”

However, Li Tianming seemed oblivious to the strange looks in everyone’s eyes, his gaze burning as he said, “Don’t worry, everyone. We’ve already killed over a hundred Heavenly Venerable-level Dao Plants. This one will be dealt with soon too. Just watch.”

“What?!”

These words seemed to subtly imply that the powerful ghost-god who had just intervened was also one of their own.

All the Divine Treasure Clan members were astonished, staring at each other in disbelief.

“Could it be that this suddenly appearing powerhouse is reinforcements sent by Governor Li?” someone belatedly remarked.

“So Governor Li was prepared all along! He had a backup plan!” The Divine Treasure Clan members, upon learning the truth, were both surprised and delighted.

“The one who dealt with the large number of Dao Plants earlier might also have been this powerful Ghost God. We’ve always had a powerful protector behind us!” many Divine Treasure Clan members’ eyes lit up.

Li Tianming smiled without speaking, not denying this claim.

This time, he had Zi Zhen act instead of Jiang Feiling, precisely for this purpose.

In reality, he wanted to mislead everyone, making them believe that Li Tianming’s confidence came from Zi Zhen, thus continuing to conceal the existence of Jiang Feiling, the Light-Year Cosmic God.

“But we don’t seem to have ever seen such a powerful senior in the Heavenly Mandate Army?”

At the same time, some people wondered.

“When did she arrive in the Old Capital? She didn’t even make a move during the defense of the Old Capital…”

The Divine Treasure Clan members were completely baffled.

Faced with everyone’s questions, Li Tianming smiled mysteriously and said, “Strictly speaking, she doesn’t belong to the Heavenly Mandate Army.”

“…”

His words had barely left his lips when the scene fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a voice boomed from a corner of the crowd: “Li Tianming, how dare you be so audacious as to disregard the laws of the Heavenly Emperor Sect!”

This abrupt voice drew everyone’s attention.

The speaker was none other than Jiu Ding!

He held the image stone in his hand, and even the usually composed Jiu Ding exuded a smug confidence.

“Ninth Senior Brother, you can’t just make baseless accusations without evidence…” Li Tianming narrowed his eyes, speaking meaningfully, “How can you falsely accuse me of violating the law for no reason? You need to provide evidence, otherwise it’s slander!”

Jiuding sneered, “As a disciple on your first expedition, and as a governor, you actually allowed unknown powerful figures to help you during the expedition. This is cheating and should be punished according to military law!”

In reality, during a legion’s expedition to a star system, all personnel must be registered in the military.

Recruiting midway like the Young Emperor requires certain procedures to be permitted by the rules.

The main reason the Young Emperor could recruit so many people was that he had the power to act first and report later, only needing to complete the formalities afterward.

“There are no other races besides the Divine Treasure Clan in the Little Divine Treasure Star System, so she wasn’t someone you recruited into the Heavenly Mandate Army midway. As far as I know, you didn’t go back to the Heavenly Emperor Sect to complete the procedures for recruiting her into the Heavenly Mandate Army, so her identity and origin are unknown. You have already violated the rules!” Jiuding sneered.

“Oh, then what do you plan to do?” Li Tianming listened to Jiuding’s words with a smile and said calmly.

“How dare you still grin like that…” Jiuding looked at Li Tianming, feeling inexplicably annoyed. He coldly said, “I’ve recorded your words and actions with the image stone and transmitted them back to the Heavenly Emperor Sect via the Little Emperor Heavenly Ship. Your death is imminent. Prepare to be dealt with by military law.”

“I don’t have time to joke with you.” Li Tianming slightly suppressed his smile and said calmly, “Who said she’s an unknown expert? I only said she doesn’t belong to the Heavenly Mandate Army, but she belongs to me!”

“What do you mean? That’s just sophistry!” Jiuding’s expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, “If you could get help from outside experts with just this excuse, then the young emperors who go to war could just rely on their family’s resources. Why bother going to war themselves?”

“What I mean is… she’s my lover.” Li Tianming smiled, then winked at Zi Zhen, who was still fighting, and said, “Don’t you think so?”

Zi Zhen, who was tearing apart the Earth Demon Blood Vine King bit by bit, was actually quite at ease. She took a moment to turn her head and gave him a disdainful look with her three eyes and nine pupils, saying, “Annoying, I’m busy!”

To everyone, this response was practically flirting, which was tantamount to tacitly acknowledging the relationship between the two!

“Wh…what??” Jiu Ding’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his expression extremely horrified.

Jiu Yangui and Jiu Siheng beside him were also shocked, picking at their ears and rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

But the scene that had just happened was still lingering in their minds, impossible to shake off!

“This top-level expert is actually his Daoist partner?”

The shock this news brought them was simply too great!
