Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7217

Chapter 7129: As Worthy of Being My Disciple

After speaking, Li Tianming followed his two masters towards Suyan Palace, which was near Tianming Palace.

At this moment, Sui Shenyao said with some doubt, “For some reason, these two give me a strange feeling today, different from usual…”

“To be honest, I also feel that they seem a bit different,” Li Tianming responded in his mind, and then said, “But we’ve already come this far, and we’ve resolved our differences. Let’s deal with whatever comes our way. Of course, the best-case scenario is no problem at all.”

“Tianming is right. If we back down at every turn, it will only cause more trouble. We’ve finally reached a mutual understanding; if we create another rift, it will be hard to explain,” Aurora also said.

Of course, most importantly, Li Tianming had the confidence to escape, so he was fearless!

On the way to Suyan Palace, Li Tianming and Taisu Hongyan chatted casually, mostly about the Little Divine Treasury Star System, but Li Tianming basically concealed the key information.

Soon, they all arrived at Suyan Palace. After chatting for a while, Taisu was no longer stern-faced, but was laughing heartily.

He said proudly, “As expected of my disciple, you are indeed proficient in both literary and martial arts. Your victory was not accidental, but the result of careful planning and hard work. Continue to strive in the future. Your master is proud of you.”

“Master is too kind. I just tried my best to do what I could, that’s all,” Li Tianming said humbly, cupping his hands.

Hongyan smiled gently at this moment, “No matter what, this is your home in the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Even if you expand your territory in the future, or even become the Holy Governor, remember to come back and visit us often.”

“Tianming, you know that we have no children. But why should our feelings be based on blood ties? We have seen how we have treated you since we took you as our disciple. You understand our intentions. You should know that we have always wanted the best for you…” Taisu said sincerely.

“Disciple understands. I will remember the care of both masters and never forget it,” Li Tianming said respectfully, cupping his hands.

“Well, let’s leave it at that for now. Saying too much would make us seem pretentious. We’ve seen how diligently you’ve cultivated lately; it’s time for you to rest. We won’t disturb you any longer,” Hongyan said with a smile.

“Take care, Master,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

After speaking, Taisu and Hongyan waved to Li Tianming and then turned and walked into Suyan Palace. Li Tianming

also turned and headed towards his own Tianming Palace, which was practically next door, very close.

Soon, Li Tianming arrived at the entrance of his Tianming Palace and walked straight in.

Although Li Tianming had recently left the Tianming Palace, it was all in a state of ethereal cosmic phenomena.

But now, he was openly entering the Tianming Palace, not only for Taisu and Hongyan to see, but also for everyone else.

Thus, the rumors of discord between master and disciple were completely dispelled!

“Although I don’t understand what they’re up to, everything’s fine now, and we’re communicating amicably. I can’t really do what others say—become a Grand Governor, get powerful, and then kick away my master’s kindness, can I?” Li Tianming thought to himself.

“They seem quite sincere. Hopefully, we’re just overthinking it. After all, genuine master-disciple affection is rare,” Aurora added.

“We should cooperate when necessary. As long as we can continue cultivating and expanding our territory in the Heavenly Emperor Sect, that’s fine. We should cherish any opportunity to get along well and treat each other sincerely,” Li Tianming said.

Currently, Xiao Jiu is still consuming the Divine Treasure Stone in the Small Divine Treasure Star System, and Li Tianming still has Li Moumou’s challenge letter.

These two things prevent him from easily leaving the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

In fact, from beginning to end, Li Tianming didn’t necessarily want to fight this expert; he wanted to understand the other party’s intentions.

Li Tianming always felt that the other party wasn’t simply after a fight.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, Li Tianming couldn’t take the initiative to break ties with the Heavenly Emperor Sect; he still had unfinished business.

Moreover, if others genuinely treated Li Tianming well, he shouldn’t be ungrateful.

Li Tianming entered the Heavenly Fate Palace to reassure his two masters that he was still there, had no other ulterior motives, and to put their minds at ease.

While conversing with Aurora and the others, Li Tianming’s pure white Emperor’s Disciple badge passed through the identification array, and he stepped into the Heavenly Fate Palace.

Everything seemed normal, but just as he withdrew his other foot and fully entered the Heavenly Fate Palace—

suddenly!

*Whoosh*

—an invisible ripple, seemingly from nowhere, instantly covered the entire Heavenly Fate Palace!

“What’s going on?” Li Tianming’s heart skipped a beat, his gaze instantly turning serious.

In that instant, the entire Heavenly Fate Palace seemed frozen, everything tinged with a grayish-white hue!

A feeling that made Li Tianming’s hair stand on end and alarm bells ring in his mind suddenly arose.

At this moment, he could feel as if he were being watched by many eyes!

At this moment, only Li Tianming’s consciousness remained; his body was completely immobilized, even his flowing hair was frozen in mid-air!

After being frozen in place, his gaze fell upon a small, almost invisible butterfly in the corner of the Heavenly Fate Palace, its wings frozen in place!

“It’s sealed off!” Li Tianming thought in horror.

At this moment!

Time and space within the entire Heavenly Fate Palace were sealed off, a deathly silence reigned, and Li Tianming was essentially imprisoned!

He looked like a lamb to the slaughter!

Aurora, equally shocked, thought to herself, “Who did this?”

Imprisoned in time and space, she couldn’t even transform into the Chaos Sword Maiden; she could only watch helplessly.

However—

at this moment!

A familiar voice came from behind Li Tianming. He couldn’t turn around, but the voice was incredibly familiar, he had even heard it not long ago!

“Ancestor, the fish has been caught in the net!!”

The voices, male and female, overlapped, the two middle-aged voices filled with excitement!

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming’s pupils widened slightly, his heart filled with shock. “So it really is them who intends to attack me?”

The newcomers were indeed Tai Su and Hong Yan, but according to them, the attacker was clearly stronger!

In this situation, for Li Tianming, it was nothing short of betrayal!

If they had feared the power of the Li imperial clan and negotiated with Li Tianming to sever their master-disciple relationship, Li Tianming could have accepted it.

But he never expected that they would choose to betray him at this moment!

After learning the truth, Li Tianming was still deeply shocked, but he wasn’t too surprised by their betrayal itself; rather, he was astonished by the timing of it!

He knew from the beginning that Tai Su Hongyan might have ulterior motives for insisting on taking Li Tianming as her disciple when Li’s identity was sensitive due to his outside sect background.
