Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7184

Chapter 7096: The Young Emperor’s Counterattack!

She gathered a pile of Cosmic God Essence and smiled happily at Li Tianming, saying, “Brother, with these, Xiaoyu’s cultivation will definitely reach a higher level.”

“This time, it’s all thanks to you. Besides, I’m afraid I won’t have time to personally deliver the Cosmic God Essence.” Li Tianming affectionately ruffled Jiang Feiling’s hair.

“It’s alright, brother, I have an avatar to help, it’ll be quick.” Jiang Feiling smiled and said, “Besides, we’re a big family.”

In fact, Jiang Feiling’s avatar had already been running back and forth between the Old Capital and the Burning Spirit Realm in batches.

This was to ensure the permanent combat power in the Old Capital while also delivering the Cosmic God Essence back.

At this moment, Li Tianming turned his gaze to Zi Zhen and smiled slightly, saying, “You should just stay here and cultivate obediently. There are spoils from the young emperor and his subordinates, as well as the resources we accumulated in the Taixu Star Refining Tower. Resources are plentiful.”

Zi Zhen rolled her eyes slightly and said, “You’re just using me as a teleportation anchor, aren’t you?”

“This is everyone doing their job, a reasonable allocation of our resources!” Li Tianming said seriously.

“Alright, stop fooling around.” Jiang Feiling covered her mouth and laughed.

“Hmph, I’ll listen to Ling’er and won’t argue with you.” Zi Zhen crossed her arms and looked up.

Li Tianming shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Jiang Feiling looked at Li Tianming and smiled, saying, “On the surface, everything seems calm, but there are undercurrents. It probably won’t be easy to resolve all this. We still need to be careful when we return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

“Alright, I understand. Besides, with the Boundary Planet here, it’s fine.” Li Tianming nodded, then suddenly asked, “By the way, Ling’er, how is Xiaoxiao’s cultivation?”

“She’s fine, cultivating as usual. What’s wrong?” Jiang Feiling blinked, surprised.

“It’s nothing urgent. It’s just that the young emperor’s Stealing Heaven’s Fate made me suddenly realize that my Stealing Heaven’s Fate ability hasn’t been fully developed yet. Xiaoxiao can help me develop my Stealing Heaven’s Fate ability, but the prerequisite is that her realm should also improve.” Li Tianming said helplessly.

“I see.” Jiang Feiling nodded, then continued, “Xiaoxiao has been cultivating in the Lesser Chaos Galaxy, with ample Primordial Dao to provide for her, and her progress is quite good.”

“Staying closed off like this isn’t ideal; she needs to absorb more of the true meanings of other Daos. This will be more beneficial for her cultivation.” Li Tianming frowned slightly, deep in thought. “I’ll research it later and see if the Heavenly Emperor Sect has a suitable place for Xiaoxiao to cultivate. After all, among us, only her cultivation system is most similar to mine. I’ll also raise her cultivation level and see if she can develop a more powerful Heaven-Stealing ability…”

Jiang Feiling smiled upon hearing this, “I’ll definitely bring the news to her when I get back. This girl should be happy now.”

After explaining some things, Li Tianming prepared to return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

However, at this moment, Ji Yu, who had delivered the message, returned.

Li Tianming looked at the newcomer with some surprise.

Led by Ji Yu, several people approached Li Tianming, followed by two old men and an old woman.

One of the old men was the Divine Treasure Clan Emperor!

He still appeared ordinary, but the swirling vortex in his eyes was incredibly deep; even with his aura concealed, his extraordinary presence was still palpable.

Ji Yu approached Li Tianming and introduced the other two, “Governor Li, this is my mother, and this is the Imperial Advisor.”

Clearly, both were disguised; after all, they were still fugitives and couldn’t appear openly.

Li Tianming was slightly surprised, as their presence was inconvenient during this special period.

The Divine Treasure Clan Emperor and the others weren’t stupid, and wouldn’t do something so irrational.

“Gentlemen, has something happened?” Li Tianming asked directly, his eyes gleaming.

He immediately guessed that there must be an emergency that had brought them here despite the risks.

The Divine Treasure Clan Emperor, his eyes red, slowly said, “Governor Li, we have received news that the young Emperor is gathering his tens of millions of troops to withdraw from the Great Divine Treasure Star System, and at the same time, he has announced the abandonment of his rule over the Great Divine Treasure Star System…”

“Abandon rule? The territory of an eighth-level star system, and a large amount of Divine Treasure Stone resources, just like that?” Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, somewhat surprised. Ji Feng,

who had been disguised as an old man, nodded and continued, “After he does this, the Great Divine Treasure Star System is essentially in a state of no master. This piece of fat meat has been thrown out, and it will probably attract a large number of jackals and tigers to devour it.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming frowned and said, “They have withdrawn, which means that there is almost no one stationed or mining inside now?”

Yan Fei nodded, weeping, “Yes!”

Hearing this news, Li Tianming couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

For the surrounding star systems, and even the entire Heavenly Emperor’s territory, this was a major piece of news.

This was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface to everyone.

Li Tianming pondered for a moment, then slowly said,

“Giving up control is permissible under the Emperor’s Plan, but generally no one would do that.”

“Originally, even if the high-end combat power within the legion was damaged, the young Emperor could still enjoy the Great Divine Treasury Star System peacefully for a period of time thanks to the protection period.”

“To put it another way, even after the protection period ends, no one will actively attack the territory of the Li Clan, so he must have ulterior motives!”

Ji Yu said anxiously, “The young Emperor released the Great Divine Treasury Star System without any defenses, which could attract the covetousness of many other gray star systems, or the invasion of other Heavenly Emperor Sect disciples. For them, this is a piece of fat meat that is already in their mouths, and it would be troublesome if they missed it…”

Ji Feng said anxiously at this moment, “Governor Li, even if it is an act with ulterior motives, we can perhaps go directly to occupy the position and then make arrangements for the defense in advance. This would be very beneficial to both the expectations of our Divine Treasury Clan and your interests, Governor Li!”

At this moment, Li Tianming was indeed hesitant, still considering the pros and cons.

At this moment, the Divine Treasury Clan Emperor looked at Li Tianming and slowly said, “Governor Li, although I also want my people to return to the Great Divine Treasury Star System, please don’t rush. This may be a trap set for you!”

Aurora also whispered in Li Tianming’s ear, “Tianming, we don’t need to be hasty. What the young emperor is doing is harmful to his own interests. It is obvious that there is a deeper trap waiting for us. I suggest we observe more.”
