Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7169

Chapter 7080: The Bottom Line!

“The Emperor’s Path is no match for Governor Li, and he can’t even win by cheating. He’s utterly useless, completely inferior to Governor Li,” Yu Zhao chuckled.

This culprit, who nearly caused everyone’s demise, was now pathetically imprisoned, a truly gratifying sight.

Almost all of Li Tianming’s supporters were applauding.

But the fact that the young Emperor hadn’t died also relieved many, otherwise, there might have been even more trouble.

Huanmie’s brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. “I wonder what the Li Imperial Clan’s attitude is towards the young Emperor’s actions. It’s fortunate he didn’t die from that attack…”

“Now that the outcome is decided, the Li Imperial Clan should have nothing to say about this result, right?” Yu Zhao hesitated.

“However, I don’t know how Governor Li will deal with the young Emperor. But I think killing him on the spot is unlikely. Governor Li isn’t irrational; he must know that would thoroughly enrage the Li Imperial Clan,” Huanmie said, his gaze slightly narrowed.

The young emperor certainly cannot represent the Li imperial clan, but he should at least not die easily outside, and even if he is to be convicted, it should not be Li Tianming who carries out the execution.

This is their bottom line.

The Divine Treasure Clan actually resents the young emperor to the extreme; if hatred could kill, the young emperor would have died a billion times over!

But for now, they are all suppressing their hatred, awaiting Li Tianming’s decision on the young emperor.

“Although this young emperor deserves to die, Governor Li should indeed find it difficult to kill him, unless he really chooses to confront the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect…” Ji Yu looked at the figures above the Governor’s Mansion, her eyes deep.

Wu Xuan stood calmly to the side, saying, “Under Governor Li’s handling of the situation, the young Emperor has lost all dignity and face, and his imperial might is gone. Even if he doesn’t die today, his Dao heart will most likely be damaged. In the future, let alone becoming a Light-Year God, his cultivation will probably stagnate.” Their

relief at the young Emperor’s survival wasn’t out of pity, but rather a reflection of their helplessness in the face of the behemoth that was the Li Clan.

The crimes the young Emperor had committed deserved a thousand deaths from the Divine Treasury Clan.

However, the conflict between Li Tianming and the young Emperor, if handled according to orders, would likely end up being resolved within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Once the young Emperor returned to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, no one could touch him…

It was a deadlock, and Li Tianming seemed to have no good excuse to act.

At this moment!

The young Emperor, tightly restrained, glared at Li Tianming, but Li Tianming met his gaze indifferently.

In his eyes, there were no members of the Li Clan, only a defeated one!

For a moment, everyone fell silent, anxiously awaiting Li Tianming’s decision.

Suddenly!

From the depths of the old capital, a green figure rushed out, almost tumbling and crawling, to the air above the Governor’s Mansion.

“Wait!”

The voice preceded the figure. The newcomer was none other

than Wei Tianqiong!

At this moment, Wei Tianqiong’s handsome face looked somewhat haggard, having lived in fear for a long time in the old capital.

Seeing this person’s appearance, Li Tianming was slightly surprised. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Great Governor, is there anything else you wish to discuss?”

To be honest, Li Tianming was unlikely to be friendly to Wei Tianqiong, who had brought a wolf into the house, so even his form of address had changed.

Wei Tianqiong knew he was in the wrong and dared not object to this distance, after all, he had brought it upon himself.

Facing the colossal shadow of Jiang Feiling before him, Wei Tianqiong’s brows twitched wildly, and cold sweat poured down his back.

But he still forced a smile and said, “Li Tianming, I am now ordering you, as your direct superior, not to harm the Emperor!”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming suddenly laughed. He said, “He injured countless of my people, even tried to kill me, and launched an attack of city-destroying magnitude. You expect me to just let it go like this?”

Faced with Li Tianming’s questioning, Wei Tianqiong was sweating profusely, but he still had to try. He dared not gamble that Li Tianming would not take action.

So Wei Tianqiong explained again, “Although the Emperor violated the rules, you do not have the authority to punish him. Even if you want to punish him, it should be done by your direct Holy Governor Wei Shendao, or his Holy Governor Jiuhuang. Moreover… we must return to the sect to discuss it again!”

Li Tianming was not surprised at all upon hearing this. Instead, he laughed.

“Return to the clan? Then hide behind his father and mother, crying and whining, and finally nothing happens?”

“So this is our young Emperor with boundless imperial might, truly terrifying!”

“When I faced his destructive attack, why didn’t anyone come to break it up?”

Li Tianming sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Wei Tianqiong was speechless, because what Li Tianming said was almost entirely true.

The young Emperor had already ruined everything himself, and the clan was unlikely to let him die; at most, they would imprison him for a while without much pain, and then he would become a discarded pawn.

Seeing Wei Tianqiong’s lips twitching, completely speechless, Li Tianming said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I never intended to hurt him at all.”

After saying that, he ignored the other’s reaction and turned his gaze to the young Emperor beside him.

At this moment, the young Emperor’s expression was extremely gloomy, his eyes as cold as an icy pool. He stared intently at Li Tianming, without saying a word.

Li Tianming’s words were completely undisguised; Wei Tianqiong had overheard the entire conversation between them.

This extreme humiliation was like tearing off his fig leaf, making his already disastrous actions even more ridiculous.

If Li Tianming didn’t punish him and left it to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, a lenient punishment would just be Li Tianming’s prediction coming true, and everyone would laugh at him. A harsh punishment, on the other hand, would make his already utterly defeated situation even more miserable!

So this was tantamount to putting him in a difficult position once again!

Li Tianming met the young Emperor’s cold gaze directly and said calmly, “Things have come to this point. Who is right and who is wrong is clear to all. I can’t control how the sect deals with you, the Grand Governor, but it’s best if you don’t come to this Little Divine Treasury Star System again. That’s my advice to you.”

Upon hearing this, the young Emperor’s face grew even more ashen. He stared at Li Tianming with extreme gloom, clearly filled with a thousand regrets! He

had gone to great lengths, given everything, just to deal with Li Tianming, only to end up with a crushing defeat!

The young emperor didn’t speak immediately, nor did anyone else around him; everyone waited quietly for his response.

Finally, he raised his head, turning his gaze to Jiang Feiling, whose divine body spanned five light-years. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he sneered.

He said, “You, a mere light-year cosmic god, dare to presume to establish a kingdom within a kingdom on the Heavenly Emperor’s map of my Li Clan?”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Divine Treasure Clan members and the Heavenly Mandate Army changed drastically!
