Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7187

Chapter 7099: Surprise or not?

At this moment, Li Tianming said meaningfully, “Perhaps some unseen force has been pushing the news towards me. Even if I don’t want to know, someone will let me know. But none of that matters anymore. In short, I sincerely beg you to help me obtain the challenge letter from the Great God’s Treasury Star System.”

“I really didn’t expect your information to be one step ahead of mine. I just received the news that the Young Emperor had withdrawn his troops and abandoned the Great God’s Treasury Star System, and I’m having a headache right now.” Jiu Huang rubbed her temples and said in surprise, “Moreover, I never expected that you would actually make the decision to take over.”

“A decision made after much hesitation is not necessarily the right one. Although the time for consideration was short, I have already thought it through.” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“I thought anyone could be the candidate, but you were the least likely to choose to take over. I didn’t expect you to be the first one to come to me. It really surprised me.” Jiu Huang said in astonishment.

“Sometimes, surprises and unexpected events happen like this, and no one can predict them.” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“You suddenly appearing before me like this is purely a scare!” Jiu Huang glared at Li Tianming, then asked again, “Are you really sure?”

“I’ve decided.” Li Tianming nodded.

“Won’t you reconsider?” Jiu Huang raised an eyebrow. “No more reconsidering.

The longer this Great Divine Treasury Star System sits, the more problems will arise, so I still want to take it over.” Li Tianming

said, his eyes burning. Hearing this, Jiu Huang sighed deeply, “Since you’re the first one to come to me, if you insist on taking on this hot potato, according to the rules, I can’t use my personal power to refuse you. However, I personally think you shouldn’t take it. Taking it over will bring endless trouble!”

“Thank you for your kindness, Grand Governor Jiu Huang, but my mind is made up.” Li Tianming clasped his hands respectfully.

Having said that, he knew the matter was settled. He had been a little worried that the process of applying for the challenge would be hindered.

At this moment, Jiu Huang looked around and then gestured for Li Tianming to follow.

Li Tianming readily complied and silently followed behind Jiu Huang.

Jiuhuang walked ahead, speaking earnestly, “Actually, I think this is most likely a trap set for you. Although I can’t understand why ‘they’ would dare to release the Great Divine Treasury Star System as bait, the more incomprehensible something is, the more likely it is to conceal a shocking conspiracy!”

Li Tianming, upon hearing this, smiled and said, “In fact, the young emperor already hates me to the bone. Even if I don’t take the bait now, he will still try to trip me up in the future. Since that’s the case, I might as well take the easy way out first. If I can’t handle what happens afterward, it will only prove that I’m just an incompetent emperor-level cultivator.”

Jiuhuang paused, saying helplessly, “Perhaps…” “What you say makes some sense, but these are all still unknowns. And based on the known risks, this matter will at least affect your current perfect reputation. Then, in the eyes of the public, you won’t be seen as absolutely righteous anymore…”

Li Tianming said casually, “As long as you’re willing to help me apply, I’ll willingly bear all the consequences of this decision. I’m only using the Nine Phoenix Alliance’s application process; I will absolutely not implicate anyone. As for reputation, it won’t be affected by something like this. Don’t worry, I will report the situation of the Great Divine Treasury Star System to you from the perspective of the Nine Phoenix Alliance’s star system in the future.”

As they spoke, the two finally arrived at their destination, a room where Wei Shendao had been staying not long ago.

Following behind Jiu Huang, Li Tianming also entered.

The two stood there, and Jiu Huang looked deeply at the young man before her. Seeing Li Tianming’s unwavering determination, she could only sigh and nod helplessly, saying, “Since you insist so much, then I’ll apply for it for you.”

After saying this, she quickly took out a blank challenge letter and wrote it by hand on the spot.

Li Tianming looked at Jiu Huang’s nine-colored hair falling onto the table, his gaze indifferent.

After a long pause, Jiu Huang straightened up and handed the challenge letter, gleaming with nine-colored light, to Li Tianming.

Jiu Huang gestured with her lips and said, “Take this. You’re currently the fastest person to apply for a challenge letter for the Great Divine Treasury Star System. This news will soon be published in the Imperial Heaven Pavilion.”

Li Tianming solemnly accepted the letter and respectfully said, “Thank you, Grand Governor Jiu Huang.”

“No need to thank me, it’s just my duty.” Jiu Huang waved her hand, then smiled slightly and said, “Furthermore, since the Great Divine Treasury Star System no longer has any resistance, obtaining the challenge letter and securing your right to conquer is essentially equivalent to taking over this place and becoming a Grand Governor comparable to a Grand Imperial Tutor. So, congratulations on your promotion.”

Li Tianming smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to Grand Governor Jiu Huang’s help.”

Actually, Jiu Huang still didn’t think this was a good thing, but she had reminded Li Tianming many times, doing her best.

Since she couldn’t persuade him otherwise, she had no choice but to accept it. After all, she couldn’t prevent Li Tianming from applying and occupying the Great Divine Treasury Star System.

The challenge was written and approved on the spot, which was indeed fast enough.

Jiuhuang patted Li Tianming’s shoulder one last time and whispered in his ear, “From now on, I can only wish you good luck. Also, given the current situation, you’d better stay away from the Heavenly Emperor Sect. If anyone from the Li Imperial Clan approaches you to communicate, be proactive and don’t foolishly assume the young Emperor is in cahoots with the Li Imperial Clan…”

“Don’t worry, I can’t be that naive,” Li Tianming smiled slightly, then clasped his hands in a fist salute, “Thank you again for your help and reminder, Grand Governor Jiuhuang.”

“Let’s go. Before anyone else comes knocking, let’s leave my Heavenly Emperor Pavilion quickly,” Jiuhuang waved her hand.

After saying that, Li Tianming silently put away the challenge and left.

Jiuhuang watched Li Tianming’s departing figure intently…

After a long while, she took out a communication star tower and said to a subordinate, “The Great Divine Treasury Star System has been taken over. The announcement will be made in the Emperor’s Heaven Pavilion hall.”

“What? So fast? Who is it? Daring to take over this mess!”

The person on the other side was extremely shocked and confused.

Jiuhuang’s gaze was deep as she calmly said, “Suyan Palace, Li Tianming!”

“…”

Without waiting for the other’s reaction, Jiuhuang directly cut off the communication.

Then, she took out another communication star tower. After a long while, Wei Shendao’s figure appeared on the tower.

“Li Tianming has returned to the Heavenly Emperor Sect. He directly chose to take over the Great Divine Treasury Star System, and he didn’t hesitate at all in issuing the challenge.” Jiuhuang said directly.

“What?” Wei Shendao’s eyes widened in shock.

She was stunned for a long time, unable to react; clearly, the impact of this news was considerable for her.

After a long while, Wei Shendao sneered, “Greed knows no bounds. This brat has indeed been outmaneuvered by the young emperor. This is going to be a good show…”

“Perhaps he has his own plans?” Jiu Huang said seriously.

“What plans could he have?” Wei Shendao said with a hint of disdain, “In the end, he was just harmed by his own greed. Perhaps greed is his weakness! By the way, where is Li Tianming now?”

Jiuhuang shook her head and said, “He’s already gone. As for where he went, I don’t know. I don’t need to know his whereabouts.”
