Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7467

Chapter 7381 is here!

Time passed slowly.

To Li Tianming’s surprise, after only a few days, Qian Yuan sent a message.

On this day, Li Tianming was idly practicing his sword, preparing to solidify his foundation in the Chaos Sword Dao, when his communication star tower suddenly rang.

He took it out, and a figure covered in flames appeared.

Although the figure’s true form was obscured, the voice beneath it was unmistakable—it was Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan said calmly, “I’ve already arranged for a spaceship to dock at Dark Beacon Dock. Just go there and wait. Someone will pick you up. Remember to conceal your identity. If you’re exposed and someone targets you, and something unexpected happens, I can’t be responsible. That’s my advice, understand?”

“I understand,” Li Tianming nodded, then said, “But if I conceal my identity, how will the person I’m contacting identify me? How will they know I went through your channels?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Just give them this special communication tower, and they’ll know you were sent by me,” Qian Yuan said calmly. “In short, once you arrive, someone will guide you, and our communication will be temporarily suspended.”

Hearing this, Li Tianming frowned slightly and said, “If that’s the case, how will I pay the final payment if I can’t contact you later?” Qian Yuan

chuckled and said, “That’s simple. Just give it to your contact person before the spaceship leaves the city starts moving.”

“Then…” Li Tianming was about to speak, wanting more detailed information.

However, after explaining these things, Qian Yuan seemed unwilling to answer Li Tianming’s questions any further, and he directly ended the communication.

“Damn it! This old man, doesn’t he know that the one paying is the master? How dare he treat us like this?” Sui Shenyao stamped his foot in frustration.

“Doing too much monopolistic business does make it easy to become arrogant.” Li Tianming sneered, and then added, “However, as long as we can provide good service, we don’t care about their attitude. After all, helping Xiao Jiu devour the Divine Treasure Stone is the most important thing. Let’s take this step first.”

At this moment, as the other party voluntarily ended the communication, the communication star tower in Li Tianming’s hand also temporarily went dark, and he couldn’t tell if it could be activated again.

Sui Shenyao said with some worry, “It seems like going to Tianzang Province is quite troublesome. This person’s attitude is so bad, and he’s acting so mysteriously, not explaining anything to us. Is he reliable?”

“We have to try. We don’t have any other options right now. If this method goes smoothly, we won’t need to take on any other risks,” Li Tianming said optimistically with a smile.

In fact, Li Tianming didn’t want any unnecessary complications in order to make multiple trips to Tianzang Province.

If Li Tianming were only thinking of himself, he wouldn’t need to leave the city yet. The most important thing was for Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu might not understand Li Tianming’s good intentions immediately, but perhaps it would gradually understand after some time.

At this moment,

Li Tianming put on the Bauhinia mask again, preparing to set off for Dark Beacon Valley!

At this moment, a purple mist that could conceal one’s aura emanated from the mask.

This purple mist completely covered his body in the blink of an eye, concealing both his figure and aura.

This effect of hiding his identity was very strong for Li Tianming, completely hiding all his characteristics.

He was now merely a human form, devoid of any other distinguishing features or aura.

Even with such a concealment tool, Li Tianming still entered the Void Universe Starscape before leaving the Heavenly Fate Palace.

He wouldn’t allow anyone to see him before reaching the cosmic starship’s docking point, not even under the disguise of the Bauhinia mask.

After all, the matter of the Divine Treasure Stone required absolute certainty!

He once again bypassed the entrance to Hall 886, avoiding the Li Clan members assigned to guard it, and followed Yin Chen’s directions to ‘Dark Beacon Dock’.

Although its location was remote, it wasn’t a secluded place, so Yin Chen easily discerned its location through conversations with passersby.

In fact, if one didn’t mind revealing their whereabouts, they could simply ask any passerby.

Li Tianming traversed many streets within the beacon ruins, bypassing numerous luxurious buildings, before finally arriving at a near-desolate area.

This place was barren, and the cosmic rays were relatively weak, but it contained many Dao minerals useless to ordinary people.

However, when Yin Chen splits into individuals, he doesn’t discriminate between different types of minerals, making this place his paradise.

“This Dark Beacon Dock isn’t on the outermost edge of the Beacon Ruins; it’s actually in a mid-level position, neither high nor low. It’s surprising that people from the underground black market are allowed to come and go in such a location,” Aurora said

, somewhat surprised. “Perhaps being on the outermost edge is too close to the city guards. After all, this kind of business can’t be done openly; it can’t be done under the noses of the Beacon Ruins’ officials,” Li Tianming said slowly, his eyes flickering.

“But if anyone with a Light-Year-level cosmic starship can leave the Beacon Ruins, then logically anyone could do this kind of business, right? But the entire Beacon Ruins is so large, why are there so few offering this service?” Sui Shenyao pondered for a moment.

“Because this kind of thing is inherently on the edge of the law. This channel for leaving the city might only exist because the authorities turn a blind eye,” Aurora explained with a slight smile.

“In other words, those behind the scenes, even with a certain background, have to offer concessions to some officials and dignitaries to secure a chance to leave the city,” Li Tianming said, his gaze deep. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Of course, they can’t go too far, otherwise even the officials and dignitaries won’t be able to cover it up.”

“What if they arranged for too many spaceships to travel?” Sui Shenyao asked curiously.

Li Tianming chuckled, “The price they’d pay is that everyone trying to make money this way will be wiped out, their chances of illegally leading people out of the city will be cut off, and they might even have to eliminate all the members of the underground black market involved.”

“No wonder that old man was so confident that we could find others to leave the city at the same price; it turns out they’re all in cahoots,” Sui Shenyao said, somewhat displeased.

Li Tianming nodded and smiled, “That’s right. Because the price to pay for violating these tacitly agreed-upon rules is simply too high, so the powerful figures in this underground black market, no matter how fiercely they argue over profits, will definitely make orderly arrangements to avoid crowding when it comes to sending spaceships out of the city. After all, if you overturn the table, no one will get anything.”

“If anyone dares to violate these orderly rules and cut off everyone’s source of income, they will probably be attacked by the masses. This is a situation of checks and balances among various parties, including some official dignitaries and forces in the underground black market,” Aurora explained.

“No wonder… there’s something like an underground black market even in a powerful empire like Fengxu. It seems that it’s the same everywhere; where there’s white, there’s black, and where there’s black, there’s white, just in different proportions.” The earring that Sui Shenyao had transformed into dangled near Li Tianming’s ear, almost as if it had grown a brain.
