Beastmaster of the Ages-Chapter 3499 - Something Must Have Happened

"Be careful, or you might have a baby. God knows you're still a child," Suishen Shuang whispered into her best friend’s ear.

"Get lost. I'm five hundred years old." Suishen Yao glared at Tianming, gritting her teeth. In terms of fighting, she wasn’t as strong as him, a fact that she had come to accept, but she couldn’t stand the thought of losing in a battle of words. When she thought of their first time cultivating together, she felt very unhappy. Why did she have to lose even at that?

She couldn’t help it; she was born to dominate.

But there was something special about being with her. Fighting and tormenting her made Tianming happy to the point that he couldn’t stop smiling. In fact, he had bullied her over and over again over the course of his meteoric rise. From a mere tainted beastmaster to Little Li, and now to husband—his title had changed.

It was a memorable day for Suishen Yao. After all, she would no longer be a fortuna disciple, but a maniverse disciple. Most of the privileges she received in terms of cultivation resources would be reset to zero.

"Yaoyao," Tianming called out.

"What?" Suishen Yao looked at him unhappily.

"I have something for you." It was what he had promised her.

Tianming pulled out myriadpath kegs filled with Yin-Yang Baleflame from his spatial ring and placed them before her. A total of ten kegs! He didn't dare to give her more for fear of exposing himself.

"Wow!" Even if there were only ten kegs, it was still an enviable gift. After all, the top spot on the Fortuna Ranking would only receive one keg every ten years, or ten kegs every century.

"You...." Suishen Yao had been blushing before, but now her eyes turned red.

"Are you touched? You’re too easy to fool," Tianming laughed.

"Get lost!" Despite saying that, Suishen Yao happily put away her gift.

"Big sister, this is too much! You should give my brother five sons!" Suishen Zhao rolled his eyes.

"No, no, please don't! I can’t afford to raise them all," Tianming interjected.

The others laughed, staring at Tianming and Suishen Yao with envy.

Eyes turning red, Suishen Shuang whispered, "Yaoyao’s found a really good man."

"Yes. I hear he’s already a third-level foundationeer, just one level below me," said Suishen Yuan, still unaware that Tianming was the one who had beaten him as soon as he entered the Yin-Yang World.

"He once defeated Yaoyao, who’s two levels ahead of him, so he must be stronger than you now," Suishen Shuang.

"That's for sure. How else would he have collected the Yin-Yang Baleflame? He must’ve been to the Yin-Yang World," Suishen Yuan replied.

If it’d been any other time, some people might wonder how Tianming had gotten his hands on so many myriadpath kegs. However, the situation was too chaotic for them to care now. Prior to the calm season, many were planning to observe his performance, only to discover that the unassuming young man had suddenly advanced and become a third-level foundationeer. But that was only known to House Suishen. Other myriadpath cultivators only knew that Pathkeeper Li was a foundationeer. Now that Myriadpath Valley was in turmoil, a genius would be easily forgotten.

"Yin Chen, what’s going on at the altar?" Tianming had been paying attention to what was happening there.

"The valley... lord has... begun the... ceremony. Someone’s... coming coming!!"

Yin Chen’s grave tone gave Tianming a bad foreboding. Most of the elites of House Suishen were at the altar, while those remaining guarded the entrance to the cave. What danger could they face in the depths of Suishen Cave?

"Someone’s betrayed House Suishen!" Tianming swiftly put the pieces together.

"Who would dare?" Ying Huo was on the alert.

"They must be strong! Their target is the group of geniuses from House Suishen and Little Li," Ji Ji coldly sneered.

Of the six lifebound beasts on his body, those were the only two with sharp minds. Meow Meow was still asleep, Lan Huang was still jumping up and down, and Xian Xian was busy devouring the food, completely oblivious to the approaching danger. Needless to say, there was already the sound of fighting outside.

There was only one person guarding the place, Eminent Fen Nu, the ninth-level foundationeer who had killed Huang Daolie.

BOOM!

A deafening ball of flames catapulted in. Tianming watched a man smash into the courtyard beside them. Even with the protection of the formation, many courtyards were destroyed.

The man was Fen Nu.

"He was defeated!" Tianming wasted no time. He turned and saw the others still stunned by the sudden turn of events.

"What's going on?" Suishen Yao asked in shock.

"This is Suishen Cave..." Suishen Yuan said in a daze.

Rays of light—the eminents’ powers—shot toward them along with the orders of several ninth-level foundationeers. In just an instant, the entire place had been blocked. Suishen Yao and the others looked alarmed. At the moment, they were still unaware of the truth. They assumed that turmoil had taken over Myriadpath Valley and House Qitian had broken into the cave.

But why was there no warning at all? There was no news of a battle at the altar!

Seven figures enveloped by light descended. Their majestic power caused buildings to collapse and suppressed the young men and women present, making it hard for them to breathe. Not even Suishen Yuan could escape the effects, much less cosmic cartographers like Suishen Zhao and Suishen Xue.

"Come back!"

A cold light flashed in Tianming's eyes. His lifebound beasts quickly returned to his body as he unleashed his divine wonder. Over the past few years, the grand lexicon wonder had tremendously improved. More and more characters had been unlocked since breaking the thousand-character threshold and reaching fortuna class. The grand lexicon wonder now had a total of five thousand characters and was capable of forming a myriad of combinations with the ability to suppress, control, destroy, and protect. In other words, its functions were exhaustive.

Five thousand characters formed a chain and surrounded the young men and women of House Suishen in an instant, creating a bright sphere with several layers.

"What’s this?"

"Pathkeeper Li’s wonder!"

Suishen Yao blankly stared at the only young man outside. The protection of Tianming’s wonder had already taken effect. Aside from being shielded from the seven eminents’ abilities, the suppression of their orders had been greatly reduced. Before they could react, the sphere led them toward the rear.

The seven eminents naturally assumed victory was in hand. With their strength, it would be easy to take down a few children, so they hadn’t even bothered surrounding them, a mistake which gave the grand lexicon wonder an opportunity to break loose. However, the sphere carrying over a dozen people couldn’t move fast. Without wasting a moment, Tianming transformed into a black-and-gold light and shot toward the intruders.

"Hey!" Upon seeing that, Suishen Yao awoke from the shock, panic filling her chest.

"Pathkeeper Li!"

"Li Tianming!"

In the chaos, the youths were still sluggish from shock, unable to describe their emotions at the moment, Suishen Yuan included. He wanted to protect his brothers and sisters with Tianming, but couldn't leave the protection of the wonder. At that moment, he was the first to truly feel the extent of Tianming’s power and the huge disparity in strength between them.

"Is there such a difference?" He was shocked.

"It's Eminent Jinxuan! They might be acting under my uncle’s orders. Hurry up and inform the elders!"

With Suishen Yao’s reminder, the others quickly responded, pulling out their transmission stones. Although they knew that distant waters couldn’t quench a nearby fire, they had to seize every opportunity. There was still hope that a battle here would alert Suishen Yuan’s mother, Suishen Ling, who could bring help.

The siblings quickly contacted their mother. "My mother isn’t responding!" Suishen Yuan's eyelids uncontrollably twitched. "What happened?" Not only had his mother failed to respond to such an urgent call, so had Eminent Ranxing, Eminent Jiguang, Suishen Xiyue, and the others at the ceremony. It was impossible... unless something happened at the altar.

"What should we do?"

"He’s alone!"

Despair filled the scene. It was obvious that the seven eminents wouldn’t allow Tianming to take the other youths away.

Six eminents immediately separated, trying to bypass Tianming and catch up to the youths. Without a word, Eminent Jinxuan made a move to capture Tianming. Danger was at the door and they had no one they could rely on.

"Wake up, little brat. You’ll suffer less if you give up and come with us!"

Like beasts descending on a cage of rabbits, the seven eminents sneered and hunted them down.

"Oh no! Something must’ve happened!"

Suishen Zhao's eyelids twitched, his heart wildly pounding.

"He...?"

Unlike the frightened youths, Tianming advanced instead of retreating, rushing toward the seven ninth-level foundationeers on his own.

"No, don't!" Suishen Yao shouted, turning pale. Tianming wasn’t a descendant of House Suishen. These desperados wouldn’t show mercy if he angered them! Suishen Hongtian, who detested Tianming, would surely resort to extreme measures!

She screamed in fear as hopelessness and dread filled her eyes.
