Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 448 - Bad News

Chapter 448 - Bad News

When Tianming and Ye Lingfeng came out from the Spiritual Convergence, they saw Bai Zijin standing under a maple tree. When the maple leaves fell, it created a dream-like scenery with her white dress gently fluttering.

Come here. Bai Zijin beckoned.

Big Sister Bai, did something happen? Tianming suddenly had a bad feeling.

Its already been resolved, so theres no need to worry about it. So, was your breakthrough successful? Bai Zijin looked at Tianming with shock, then pursed her lips. Youre finally in the Saint stage. The spiritual energy fountain was useful to your breakthrough, wasnt it?

This breakthrough wasnt easy, but its fine now. Big Sister Bai, what happened while I was gone? Tianming looked at her.

Lets talk while we walk. Bai Zijin signaled for Tianming to follow her.

Do you remember that Supernal Mentor from the Ancient Greedwolf Clan, Su Hongyin?

Yeah. Tianming nodded.

She tried to kill Linger, but my big brother was around and ruined her assassination attempt. Shes currently being held in captivity, Bai Zijin explained.

Tianming stopped walking. His eyes turned cold, and he asked, Where is she right now?

At your home. I also just learned about it and came looking for you. But you dont have to worry, Linger is fine. I already told you that theres masters in the Decimo Dao Palace whove been assigned to protect the two of you. So you dont have to worry about assassinations, at least. My big brother will be staying right beside you guys for the time being. Su Hongyin thought that Linger wasnt someone important.... Bai Zijin was still walking, but she felt a breeze beside her and turned around to see that Tianming had already disappeared.

That brat.... Bai Zijin still wanted to explain it slowly because she was afraid that he would lose control. But in the end, she had still underestimated Tianmings reaction to this incident. The assassin failed, but this guy looked crazy. If Feiling was hurt somehow, wouldnt he go mad? Palming her forehead, Bai Zijin could only chase after Tianming and call out, Wait for me!

This speed.... It looks like hes gotten a lot stronger by breaking through. Bai Zijin was inwardly shocked.

......

Back in the First Pavilion, Tianming immediately barged in with a darkened face. When he looked around, he saw that there were four Hall Kings there. Standing before the Future Hall King, Bai Mo, was a man with white brows. He was Bai Zijins big brother, Bai Zifeng. He was also a Hall Lord of the Future Hall.

Tianming instantly recognized him as the person who had protected Feiling. On the other side was a woman in red, tied to a pole. But what tied her to the pillar wasnt rope, but a small heavenly pattern barrier. Heavenly patterns were wandering around her limbs, binding her mobility. Not far away, there was a wolf lifebound beast trapped in a heavenly pattern barrier. It was also bound, and looked like it was dying.

Linger! Tianming yelled. The next moment, the door suddenly opened and a young girl ran out. Before she could stabilize herself, Tianming rushed up to her and took her into his embrace. His hug was so tight that Feiling felt breathless.

Big brother, Im fine. You dont have to worry about me. I even had no idea what happened, and the culprit was already captured. Im really fine, look! she said.

Yeah. Tianming checked her from head to toe, making sure she hadnt been hurt. However, he knew that if anyone in the Divine Capital tried to make a move against Linger, she only had two outcomes. She would either die or survive; it was impossible for her to just be injured. That also meant that Su Hongyin had nearly killed her!

Linger, go in. Tianming gently pushed her and smiled at her, signaling for her to relax before closing the door.

Thank you, Hall Kings and Hall Lord. Tianming came forth and gave a deep bow to Bai Zifeng and the others.

Dont worry about it. Nothing will go wrong with me around. Bai Zifeng smiled, patting Tianmings shoulder. He was just next door these days, listening to the laughter of these youngsters. He was pretty fond of Tianming, he just didnt make an appearance.

Yeah. Tianming nodded, then turned and looked at Su Hongyin coldly. Was she the mastermind? Or is the mastermind someone else?

She refuses to say anything, but the truth isnt difficult to guess. I can tell you about it, but I hope youll keep it to yourself, said the Future Hall King.

Okay.

Shes from the Ancient Greedwolf Clan, and she was probably under the orders of the Ancient Greedwolf Clans Patriarch, Wei Ji. They all belong to the other halls, so they naturally dont wish for you, a pentabane of the Li Saint Clan, to grow up. After all, theyll lose their foothold if you reach the height of your ancestor, Li Shenxiao. So they must be trying to suppress you and destroy your will. If they killed Linger, it would surely be a great blow to you, said the Future Hall King, Bai Mo.

I got it. Ill take a look at Su Hongyin. She wont be able to hurt me, right? Tianming asked.

She wont, dont worry, said Bai Zifeng.

While the Hall Kings talked among themselves about the Theocrats, Tianming came over to Su Hongyin by himself. Bai Zijin and Ye Lingfeng had both returned, but they stood far away.

Long time no see, Tianming. It seems like youve become more handsome and charming. Su Hongyin might not be able to move, but she could still speak. With a frivolous smile on her face, she fearlessly looked at Tianming.

You wanted to kill her? Tianming asked.

Thats right. Shes blessed with looks, but its a pity that shes a cripple. Shell grow old, and, sooner or later, shell become a pile of bones. Shes not comparable to me, wholl always be young, Su Hongyin chuckled.

Youll be young forever? Tianming asked, staring at Su Hongyins neck.

Thats right. Im over forty years old, but I still look young. In another ten years, your little girlfriend will look older than me, Su Hongyin laughed.

That wont happen, Tianming said.

Why? Su Hongyin asked curiously.

Because youre going to die now! Tianming went from silence to violence in a matter of seconds. He took out the Grand-Orient Sword and swung it at Su Hongyins neck.

Su Hongyin was briefly stunned, then let out a yelp, drawing everyones attention. Tianmings eyes were red; he didnt expect that a Sky Saints physique would be so powerful, and failed to behead her. But his sword had gone a third of the way through her neck.

You! Before Su Hongyin could finish, Tianming swung his sword again like a madman. It was like he was chopping a tree with an ax as he slashed at Su Hongyins neck two more times.

Even though Su Hongyin was a sky saint, she was still beheaded after taking three slashes from Tianmings sword while she couldnt move. Her eyes were wide openeven in death, she had no idea how she died.

She saw the Grand-Orient Sword stab into the ground, and in despair, she took a last glance at the white-haired youth before completely losing her consciousness. Although the four Hall Kings had enough time to stop Tianmings sword, they were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. And while they hesitated, Su Hongyin was beheaded.

Ah! Bai Zijin screamed out and looked at Tianming blankly. She understood this youth the best, and when she saw him slash out three times at Su Hongyin, she knew what he was doing. Feiling was too important to him, and no one had thought that Tianming would be so furious dealing with an assassin who failed to do her job.

To Tianming, both Wei Jing and Linger were his soft spots, and he would lose his rationality if anyone tried touching them. But right at that moment, the gates were opened. Many people walked in, and when Tianming looked up, he saw the West Hall King, Wei Ji, who had immediately rushed in when he heard a familiar scream.

When they came in, they saw Su Hongyins head falling. Tianming had even plunged the Grand-Orient Sword onto the ground before their eyes and tossed Su Hongyins head over to the West Hall King, saying, Hold it well and take it away.

Just like that, a vulnerable youth with crimson eyes looked at the dumbfounded West Hall King. In that instant, the entire courtyard was enveloped in dead silence. The West Hall King grabbed onto the head that was still bleeding. After a brief silence, he exploded.

Four Hall Kings, along with Bai Zifeng, stood before Tianming. They had never expected that Tianming would be so impulsive, but they could only deal with it since things had already happened.

Haha.... Wei Ji smiled and threw the head onto the ground. Staring at Tianming, he asked, May I ask why you killed the Supernal Mentor of my clan? If you dont give me an explanation, I wont let this matter rest so easily!

Explanation? Then let me ask you: why did you send her to assassinate a disciple of my Future Hall? Bai Mo sneered.

Future Hall disciple? Wei Ji narrowed his eyes.

Thats right. The descendant of the Li Saint Clan, foster son of Li Wudi, and the bearer of a pentabane. As Bai Mo spoke, he placed his hand on Tianmings shoulder. They had silently changed Su Hongyins assassination target, and Tianming understood what they were trying to do.

Assassinating him was more serious than trying to assassinate Linger. After all, she wasnt one of the Decimo Dao Palaces disciples. It looked like they had no thoughts of letting Su Hongyin go to begin with, just that they had never expected Tianming would be so ruthless.

What rubbish! What evidence do you have? Wei Ji raged.

My son is here to protect them, and when Su Hongyin came to assassinate Tianming, she was caught red-handed. What more evidence do you need? If it wasnt for my son, Li Shenxiaos descendant wouldve been killed by her. Wei Ji, Su Hongyin is just a Supernal Mentor, so why are you getting so emotional? Or was she acting under your orders? Bai Mo questioned.

Everyone outside could clearly see what had happened in the courtyard. Wei Ji fell into a long silence. He naturally couldnt admit that Su Hongyin was here to kill Feiling, and not Tianming. If he did, then wouldnt it be the same as confessing that he was the mastermind?

Bai Mos change in the story made Wei Ji deeply furrow his brows. Honestly speaking, a supernal mentors worth was naturally incomparable to a pentabane, but that was his woman! Even until now, he had no idea that Tianming had just returned from the Spiritual Convergence. In the end, he could only suck it up and rebuke, Bai Mo, dont spout nonsense. The pentabane of the Li Saint Clan will only benefit the Decimo Dao Palace. I have no idea why Su Hongyin tried to assassinate him, but it had nothing to do with me.

He came in furiously to question, but could only leave in depression. Although he had already been prepared for the worst when he came, hed never expected that Su Hongyin would be directly killed.

Then we wont send you off. Have a safe trip. Bai Mo waved his hand. Furthermore, let everyone know that if anyone tries to assassinate either of the pentabanes from the Li Saint Clan again, Su Hongyin will be their example!

Wei Jis blood was tumbling in his body, but he could only suck it up. After all, Su Hongyin had failed in her assassination attempt. He couldnt even figure out why she would try assassinating Tianming. He failed to find out about Tianmings tracks immediately, and no longer had any more chances.

Dont be so happy, the four of you. The Decimo Dao Palace is still not a place where the four of you make the decisions. Wei Ji smiled as he left. He was clearly trying to say that he had other Hall Kings standing by his side, and even the Ancient Theocrats.

Youre right. The palace lord is the one who makes the decisions here, replied Bai Mo.

Haha! Wei Ji turned around and left.

West Hall King! Tianming suddenly shouted out. When Wei Ji turned around, he met with Tianmings ferocious gaze. Tianming said, Tomorrow is your grandsons birthday, and I want to give him an unforgettable present. Please tell him to wait for me in the Evil Suppression Plaza tomorrow.

Okay. Wei Ji sneered and left. With that, the storm left quicker than it had arrived.

......

After the West Halls party left, the courtyard became quiet. As Tianming gradually calmed down, the scarlet flare in his eyes slowly dissipated and he said, Im sorry. I couldnt control myself earlier.

Its okay. It was mainly up to you, anyway. Su Hongyin is nothing, and if you can vent your anger by killing her, it doesnt matter to us. The reason we didnt kill her is that shes only the executor, not the mastermind, said Bao Mo. Wei Ji was indeed the mastermind, and Tianming wouldnt forget about him.

You and your sister will have to fight with these people if you guys want to grow, and theyll definitely use underhanded methods to deal with you, and those methods will only become crueler over time. So it doesnt matter if you kill Su Hongyin; the key conflict is between them and us. Su Hongyins death only placed our conflict on the table, and it doesnt matter much, said Bai Mo.

Thank you, Hall King. Tianming was sincerely grateful to them. Their thoughts were similar to his.

Actually, you and your sisters matters are trivial. Its mainly on Li Wudi. Hes the person these people are afraid of. The day your foster father comes, theyll definitely take it even further. After all, your foster father is an octabane monster. Bai Mo and the others laughed. But what would they think if they knew that Tianming was a decabane.

Tianming, youre different from your sister. Qingyu is a gentle lady, while you’re someone with passion and drive. Thats another reason we supported you in killing today. Your will is strong, and youre someone worth forging. Were all optimistic about you. Are you confident in suppressing all of the geniuses in the Divine Capital for our Decimo Dao Palace? asked the South Hall King, Qin Jiufu.

That meant that Tianming only had to beat people up, while these Hall Masters would clean up the mess for him. So what did he have to be afraid of?

Ill thrash them! Tianming gnashed his teeth. When he saw Feiling standing by the door looking touched, he vented out all his emotions.

Wei Wushang, its your turn tomorrow!
