Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4148 - Beating Up the Beaten

"Li Tianming?" Feng Linxue had heard this name more than once. She had joined the meeting at Jiang Royal Palace back then and, like Granny Pu, was extremely suspicious of the flameyellow voidkin that Tianming had purported to represent, believing that they were after the six maniverse-class primalwinger worlds as well.

When Tianming unleashed the ghoul army at Grand Jiang, she was shocked, frustrated and hateful! If not for her, the star that would be under attack wouldn't have been Grand Feng! It was only until the little metal cockroach found its way to her that she was properly linked to this person that she hated so much.

"Let's go out and see!" When Feng Linxue finished her announcement, she flew towards the sky. Apart from a few cosmic gods that were cleaning up the battlefield, Feng Buhuo, Pu Fengyun and Meng Xinlan followed her up with odd looks.

"What's Li Tianming going to do?" Meng Xinlan asked, brows furrowed.

"Don't tell me he's going to attack Grand Feng now that the cult and Grand Xia are both gone!" Feng Buhuo said, feeling unsafe.

"Impossible. If he had wanted to attack Grand Feng, it'd be much easier for him to infiltrate us alone. There would be no need to summon a huge army to get in his way. Not to mention, he has his sights on Lord Yue," Pu Fengyun gave a calm assessment.

"He was able to summon an army of a billion ghouls, and he's just one person! There are close to a hundred ghoul emperors from the eighth level of hell... The devas must have heard about this by now. I wonder what they think about this? Wouldn't this just trivialize their entire race? I wonder if they can even summon ghouls like they used to," Meng Xinlan droned on. She echoed the questions that plagued everyone's mind.

They simply didn't dare to speculate anything about Tianming as it was something that was guaranteed to numb their brains. They don't even have the slightest inkling as to how to treat him if he was really their enemy. Cosmic gods a few thousand meters tall like them were fast when there was no formation to stop them. Soon, they reached the top of the world above the frost prison.

Many people who had witnessed Tianming's ghoul army were so stunned that they forgot how to speak, and Feng Linxue had been one such person. Her icy blue eyes were wide open, staring at the hordes of gnarly and fanged ghouls ahead of her. They were so numerous that they seemed to form a scroll of sin in her field of vision. They numbered at least a hundred times Lord Yue's army!

Three million of Grand Yue's troops had been defeated and reduced to essence form, leaving them with only seven million fighters. The moment they left, they ran into Tianming's blockade of ghouls. Lord Yue had already been emotionally pushed to the brink to begin with, so running into yet another obstacle sparked yet more explosions within him.

"Li Tianming, what do you intend to do with this blockade?! Are you lusting after Grand Feng's nova source? It seems like you can no longer resist the temptation of our nova source and are itching to make the kunlan primalwingers your enemy!" Yue Cheng said from the very front of the army.

"What a joke. All of you blind followers of Lord Yue are the ones who've made enemies out of the kunlan primalwingers! Do you think you represent all of them? There's only one true line of primalwingers in the Primordial Sands and that line is in Grand Jiang!" Tianming declared.

"Tell us what you're going to do without wasting time." Yue Cheng furrowed his brows in rage.

"As a good friend of your old ancestor, I'm obligated to help her with some of her issues such as wiping out the traitorous rot among her descendants! Lord Yue has already been forsaken by your kind and shall be dealt with! If the rest of you keep following this traitor, don't blame me and Grand Jiang for not showing mercy later on!"

"Hahaha! What right does an outsider like you have to meddle in our internal affairs?! Do you think you can doom us just because Jiang Tianzhou and his ilk have become your dogs? Our Lord Yue is a careful man. You look down on the intelligence of primalwingers far too much. No matter how messed up our internal affairs are, we wouldn't let an outsider like you have a chance to meddle!" Yue Cheng turned towards the frost prison and the tens of millions of troops there. It could also be a shelter for them.

"That's where you're wrong!" Tianming provoked. "I'm not coming after primalwingers, just Lord Yue and his followers!"

He turned to Lord Yue and yelled, "Attack! Anyone that dares get in the way will be reduced to essence form and imprisoned in Grand Feng! You crooks shall never cause trouble for your traitorous leader again!"

Tianming had said that for Feng Linxue's benefit. The army from Grand Yue would continue to support Lord Yue and remain a problem, so it was a good opportunity to cripplethem there and then. There was no need to kill them; reducing them to essence form and letting Feng Linxue be their warden would be enough. That would also allow her to vent.

If they were able to kill Lord Yue, the prisoners would lose their leader and might be more open to listen. The key to this plan was selecting the right person to keep them prisoner. As Tianming was an outsider, he wasn't fit for the role.

The billion ghouls howled in unison before swarming towards Grand Yue's army of ten million cosmic gods, utterly fearlessly.

"Scatter!" Yue Cheng said, seeing Lord Yue remain silent. The army escaped in multiple directions; they would've clearly been overpowered in a direct confrontation. Lord Yue's silence was proof of the mental anguish he was undergoing for being messed with during his worst moment of humiliation.

"Feng Linxue, use the formation to suppress them! That brat is clearly the common enemy of all kunlan primalwingers! Don't believe his flowery words of temptation!" Yue Cheng shamelessly warned.

"Starlord, do we aid them and stop Li Tianming's attack?" Feng Buhuo asked nervously.

"Stop what? Have the army stand down! I'll target anyone who dares to help with the frost prison!"

Feng Buhuo, Pu Fengyun and Meng Xinlan were all stunned. Yue Cheng led his troops into the frost prison in an attempt to flee the ghouls, only to feel the onslaught of blades made from ice and snow.

"How dare you, Feng Linxue?!" It was one thing to not save them, but to attack them too?! "You should perish, you vile woman!"

Having no other choice, Yue Cheng left the frost prison with his troops, only to be swarmed by the ghouls.

"It's over..." He watched as his comrades were reduced into essence form one after another before falling into the frost prison as prisoners. It didn't take that long for all ten million of them to fall.

"Will Lord Yue be able to take down their leader and turn things around?!" This was Yue Cheng's final hope. However, he despaired when he saw Tianming entering the frost prison to reach the side of Feng Linxue.
