Through the War God Line Source Skyway, Li Tianming soon emerged from the Demon-Extermination Pavilion.
Li Tianming's appointment as a Grand War God was no secret. Many people in high positions had even learned of it in advance.
But before he formally took up the post, no one in the know dared say a word.
Now, word had quietly spread that Li Tianming had received his appointment papers from Hundun.
During the time he spent at the Heavenly Emperor Star Palace, the news gradually set the Heavenly Emperor Sect abuzz. People went from discussing it cautiously to talking about it openly...
"I heard that Li Tianming, the outer sect's top genius and Grand Governor, is joining the Demon-Extermination Plan?"
"Why give up a perfectly good post as Grand Governor? Over there, he'd have to start as a soldier. He'd face danger and lose his former standing. Isn't he asking for trouble?"
"You've got it wrong. I heard the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Council decided he'll keep his Grand Governor post, and when he goes to the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall, he'll start as a Grand War God. His standing is only going up!"
"What?! He'll hold both posts?" Someone's eyes widened in disbelief. "What an extraordinary honor! Who in history has ever received such treatment?"
Once the news spread, it sent an even greater shock through the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect!
People of every rank found it hard to believe when they first heard.
But after confirming it, some began to consider what lay beneath the surface.
"Li Tianming may be extraordinarily talented, but his background is complicated. They're practically grooming him as a core member of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Aren't those higher-ups afraid of raising a tiger that'll turn on them?"
That left a great many people worried.
