Beastmaster of the Ages

.
The more of them that died, the better.

“Tianming, you dealt them a heavy blow by killing the crown prince.
Autarch Yun will probably demand an accounting from the dao palace over this,” Bai Mo said.

“Should I hide?”

“No need.
He no longer has the power to challenge us.
We can ignore him as long as the Evil Suppression Formation is up.
You just need to focus on cultivating.
If he doesn’t know what’s good for him, we’ll just take care of him and help put Jiang Ling on the throne.”

“Why not just help the dao palace ascend the throne?” Tianming frowned.
Wasn’t this the best chance to exterminate the Theocrats?

“We’ll see how things go.
Don’t worry, the Palace Lord and Dark Hall have their plans.”

“Alright!” Tianming was aware of the two powers’ relationship.

The Theocracy had once belonged to the dao palace.
Now, the Theocrats had declined and the crown prince had fallen, ending their line.

“Perhaps it might be time for the dynasty to change.” Tianming smiled.

……

They passed through the Evil Suppression Formation, finally returning to the safest place in the world.
No matter how dangerous it was outside, it remained lively inside.

“Big Bro Tianming!” Ye Lingfeng was still weak.
His eyes opened and he looked emotionally at Tianming.

“What is it?”

Ye Lingfeng pointed at the black pillar.
“That belonged to the Primordial Demonlord.”

Tianming was surprised.

Did that mean the Prime Tower and Cyclic Mirror came from an even stronger god?

“At least four gods died inside Perpetia City,” Tianming mused.

“Can I take it away?”

“Not right now.
I haven’t spoken to the seniors about the Primordial Demonlord and God-Emperor.
That pillar is what’s guaranteeing the safety of the dao palace for now.”

“Alright.” Ye Lingfeng wasn’t anxious.

At this moment, a girl with white hair rushed out.
“Big Brother, Ling’er, Little Feng!”

“My little sis got even prettier!” Tianming gave her a hug.

Qingyu began chatting with Feiling.
“Why do I feel like you’re different somehow?”

“That hand you’re holding now belongs to a ten-thousand-year-old hag.” Tianming sniggered.

“Nonsense!” Feiling glared at him.

As for Qingyu, she was simply confused.

“Hey, Big Sister Qingyu….” Ye Lingfeng lifted his head up weakly.

“Yes?”

“Can I give you a hug too?”

“No, guys and girls can’t touch.”

Ye Lingfeng was stunned and looked at Tianming.

“What is it?” Tianming asked.

“I, I didn’t know you were a woman!” Ye Lingfeng’s thought process was that Li Tianming and Li Qingyu had hugged, which made them the same gender.
“Wait!” He tapped his head.
He’d been with Tianming so much that he couldn’t not know if Tianming was a girl.
Which meant….

“Big Sister Qingyu, so you’re a guy! Wait, so why can’t I give you a hug?”

……

There was a beautiful city to the north of the capital, called Dazzling City.
It was the headquarters of Dazzling Pavillion, and controlled all of the trade and commerce.
Meng Tingyu, their Pavilion Lord, spent most of her time there.

She was currently playing the zither inside a building.
Her playing wasn’t very smooth, due to the heavy downpour outside annoying her.

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning.
A figure wearing a conical hat appeared by the window.

Meng Tingyu hurriedly knelt down, her forehead pressed onto the cold and wet floor.

“Greetings, Your—”

She hadn’t finished speaking before she was interrupted.

“Little Yu, how are the little fish I wanted?” The voice was slightly aged, but it was gentle.

“Ready, there’s seven hundred thousand.”

“Where are they from?”

“The capital’s been a mess recently.
To fool people, I had the ‘merchants’ go by sea to the Earthorgin Realm and find some small fishes from a remote country there.”

“And the quality?”

“Middling.
However, I’ve been taking good care of them, so they’re in good condition.”

“Did you talk to the people in power there?”

“Yes.
They’re all intelligent people.
This is the third time they’ve contributed fish, so cooperation has been smooth.”

“Good.
However, I’m going to need a lot more fish this time.”

“I’ll make the arrangements.
How many?”

“Another three hundred thousand.”

“Yes!”
