Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7138

Chapter 7049: I’ve Learned Something

Of course, Jiu Yuan understood this principle, so she was even more alarmed and paled at the young emperor’s emotional change.

Violating the regulations of the Emperor’s Plan would not only affect the young emperor’s status but could also enrage him.

No one could predict what the young emperor would do in his anger.

Therefore, Jiu Yuan cautiously asked, “Emperor, should we quickly suppress the news?”

The young emperor’s expression was gloomy, his eyes fixed on the image sphere still displayed above the governor’s mansion, offering no reply.

Jiu Yuan secretly observed his expression but dared not say anything more.

In truth, she knew that the news could not be suppressed.

From the moment Li Tianming released the evidence, regardless of how things unfolded, the young emperor’s crime of colluding with Elder Wei to massacre Li Tianming’s innocent citizens was confirmed.

After all, there were still hundreds of disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect within the Heavenly Mandate Army, each with their own communication star towers.

Li Tianming had already used the giant communication tower in the Governor’s Mansion to break through the communication blockade of the ‘Demon-Sealing Star Prison,’ so at least the transmission of information between the old capital and the outside world was no longer hindered.

Moreover, from the appearance of the three Dao plants, the entire process of the event had already been broadcast live to the Heavenly Emperor Sect by the disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect within the Heavenly Mandate Army.

…

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

After the news was relayed back, it had already caused a great uproar throughout the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

At this time, everyone was discussing this matter, and the overall sentiment within the Heavenly Emperor Sect showed signs of a shift.

“Previously, the young Emperor Venerable gave Li Tianming two conditions, which he did not accept. Although it was somewhat ungrateful, it did indeed conform to the Heavenly Emperor’s Plan. But now, the young Emperor Venerable actually violated the Heavenly Emperor’s Plan to deal with Li Tianming…” someone pondered.

“This really seems to trample on the law. Does being a member of the Li imperial family mean one can be above the law?” someone questioned.

“If that’s the case, who would willingly serve the Heavenly Emperor Sect?” some people were indignant.

In fact, some people even secretly criticized the young emperor’s path to power as utterly incompetent.

However, they ultimately lacked the courage to voice these criticisms, though they could freely express their dissatisfaction according to the law.

After all, what the young emperor had done had indeed crossed a line in many people’s minds. In

a true contest of imperial power, following the law, the victor takes all; even if the young emperor had completely destroyed Li Tianming, people would only applaud.

If the young emperor had secretly sabotaged everything to settle the matter, without evidence, his imperial path would have to be acknowledged.

But in the current situation, his secret attempt failed, and he was caught red-handed; in others’ eyes, the young emperor was simply a sore loser.

Inside the Palace of Ten Thousand Emperors,

Jiang Beichen, upon hearing this news, felt more worried than pleased about Li Tianming.

After all, as a guardian of the imperial clan, he understood the fundamental reactions arising from this matter.

“Because of this Imperial Path Competition, the Nine Star Imperial Clan lost two young Grand Emperor Masters. Furthermore, the Nine Star Imperial Clan has a marriage alliance with the Li Clan… Although Governor Li did indeed defeat the young Emperor, he will inevitably face their joint retaliation. To be honest, I think Governor Li shouldn’t have killed those two Grand Emperor Masters. Moreover, Governor Li also killed Huan Sheng of the Illusionary Heaven Imperial Clan before this, which might attract a very terrifying force,”

Jiang Beichen said thoughtfully.

At this moment, Yu Shang beside him smiled slightly and said, “Actually, it’s not that simple. Killing one or three makes no difference. Since Junior Brother Li has already decided to rely on the sword of law to fight the young Emperor, he should see it through to the end. These two Grand Emperor Masters are accomplices and should be sentenced to death. If he doesn’t follow the law and chooses to back down now, all of Junior Brother Li’s previous efforts will be in vain, and the young Emperor will become even more emboldened and gain more room to maneuver.”

After all, Yu Shang had already fought in battles and become a senior disciple of a governor, so he could naturally see through these deeper principles.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beichen was greatly shocked and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, “Junior Brother, I have learned a great deal.”

…

Inside the Emperor Heaven Pavilion.

This place is one of the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s most important military strongholds, the core area for handling military affairs.

Compared to the inexperienced young disciples, this place is mostly filled with hardened soldiers or governors who have already guarded their respective territories.

After the news from the front lines was relayed back, it caused a great stir, and many people coming and going discussed it enthusiastically.

“I never expected that Li Tianming could actually push the young emperor to this point?”

“It has to be said that he does have his own unique strengths in the realm of imperial rule, but unfortunately, he has ultimately narrowed his path. Now, although he seems to have defeated the young emperor, he has actually brought more trouble upon himself.” “

However, the young emperor’s targeting of Li Tianming shouldn’t be limited to the realm of imperial rivalry, right? Do you think he might simply be killing for the sake of killing, wanting to annihilate the Divine Treasure Clan?”

“Previously, he slaughtered the Divine Treasure Clan, claiming that they were unconquerable, but Li Tianming successfully subdued them, slapping him in the face. Now, he’s even chasing after Li Tianming’s people to kill them. Doesn’t this show that the young emperor is actually bloodthirsty and an outright tyrant?”

With their own military ranks, these people could speak more boldly because they knew what was truly taboo.

Now, the young emperor’s actions have been exposed, damaging his image and even potentially affecting the revered status of the Li imperial clan in everyone’s hearts.

Meanwhile, in the ‘Quiet Hall’ within the Emperor’s Pavilion.

A woman with long, nine-colored hair, clad in fiery red feathered armor, tall and curvaceous, stood there.

The disciples passing by looked at her with a mixture of amazement and awe.

This was none other than Jiu Huang of the Nine Star Imperial Clan!

Beside her stood another woman, shorter yet still striking, and even more alluring in a green dress.

This was none other than Wei Shendao, the leader of the Divine Path Alliance!

The two appeared simultaneously; one was a valiant and spirited female general, clearly capable of charging into battle.

Indeed, Jiu Huang, a rare Holy Governor within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, could truly be called a legendary female general.

The other was a woman with a perpetual smile, slender and gentle eyebrows, and luscious red lips.

Though her features were soft and beautiful, Wei Shendao possessed an unparalleled imperial aura in her eyes. She, too, was a role model for many disciples, a Holy Governor possessing both strength and virtue.

At this moment, they received the battle report from the front lines, and were greatly shaken.

But having witnessed far too many storms in his life as the Governor-General, he remained remarkably calm after the brief emotional fluctuations, far more composed than others.

The two passed through the thatched cottage and arrived at a private room at the back.

This is Jiu Huang’s private space, or office, where she resides in the thatched cottage. Ordinary people, even those handling military affairs, are not qualified to see her in person.
