Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7469

Chapter 7383: Passengers!

Upon entering, Li Tianming discovered it wasn’t completely dark, but rather dimly lit, like a few flickering lights in a closed room at night.

Inside, there were many others who also seemed to want to leave the Beacon Ruins.

Their desire to leave was similar to Li Tianming’s.

A quick glance revealed that among these people, some might be spirits or deities; some had four pure white wings on their backs and a single eye on their foreheads, while others were born with four legs and four arms.

In short, many were bizarre and strange, unlike anything Li Tianming had ever seen before.

This made Li Tianming marvel at the vastness and wonder of the universe. Since emerging from the Heavenly Emperor’s Map, not only had the visible territory expanded, but the diversity of races had also become more pronounced.

While humans were the majority, there were also spirits and other cosmic life forms.

However, they all shared a common trait:

they all possessed methods of concealment, making their faces almost entirely invisible, and even their bodies were difficult to discern clearly.

However, some of them might have had too obvious racial characteristics, making it difficult to completely conceal their abilities, or perhaps they were confident enough not to need to hide them completely.

These people, who seemed to want to leave the city, remained silent, making the entire Dark Beacon Fortress utterly quiet.

Each of them was generally quite powerful, with the weakest possessing an aura above the Heavenly Venerable level, equivalent to a Saint Emperor.

Although Li Tianming’s actual combat strength was comparable to a Saint Emperor, his true aura of the God of the Universe was only that of a Heavenly Venerable, and not even among the upper echelons of Heavenly Venerables. Therefore, in this situation, Li Tianming truly looked like a child who had mistakenly entered an adult’s drinking party.

Seeing Li Tianming, a Heavenly Venerable who wasn’t even considered high-level, dare to come here alone attracted considerable attention.

This included various races, and many gazes were fixed on Li Tianming, scrutinizing him, seemingly trying to see through the person beneath his purple bauhinia mask.

Of course, the purple bauhinia mask given by Zi Zhen wasn’t so easily seen through.

From everyone’s perspective, they only knew Li Tianming was ‘weak’; they couldn’t even discern his gender or age.

Facing the probing gazes and this situation, Li Tianming remained upright and composed, seemingly unaffected.

Furthermore, he noticed that there seemed to be many other black-armored men around him, not just those near him.

It seemed that it was precisely because of these black-armored men that they hadn’t made a move.

Otherwise, in such a confined space, chaos would have surely erupted, with people fighting and scrambling for things. After all, many who chose this path were desperate madmen or fugitives with nowhere else to turn.

Li Tianming roughly observed his surroundings and discovered that the number of black-armored men was roughly equal to the number of ‘passengers’.

That is to say, basically one black-armored man corresponded to one passenger.

It was unclear whether this was more about keeping an eye on the ‘passengers’ and preventing them from causing trouble, or about protecting his own ‘passengers’.

In any case, it didn’t matter to Li Tianming, as long as he could get out of the city.

This Dark Beacon Dock was peculiar; it seemed to be both a physical entity capable of isolating everything and a projection without substance, somewhere in between.

Fortunately, however, there were still Dao mines within the Dark Beacon Dock.

So Li Tianming released Silver Dust.

Under the disguise of the Boundless Eternal Realm, Silver Dust spread rapidly, completely unnoticed even by the many powerful figures present.

These silver insects also quietly approached the others in Dark Beacon Dock, conducting comprehensive eavesdropping.

Although the area was generally quiet, whispers could be heard.

Through Silver Dust, Li Tianming could glean useful information from these whispers, giving him more control in his escape plan.

After all, he had a feeling this journey wouldn’t be smooth sailing, a glimpse from the attitudes of Qian Yuan and the black-armored men around him.

After all, everyone wants a piece of the pie.

Li Tianming, Aurora, and Silver Dust were all in sync. He appeared to be quietly waiting in a corner, seemingly awaiting the arrival of the cosmic starship.

But in reality, the two of them and the beast were secretly gathering intelligence.

Ultimately, all the information dictated by everyone present was gathered by Li Tianming and Aurora.

Li Tianming pondered, “So these black-armored men belong to the third-ranked ‘Chaotic Organization’ in the Qianfeng Eternal Empire’s underground. They operate outside the imperial authority of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire, often shrouded in mystery, yet they engage in extremely bloody activities, and are generally not benevolent.” “

For them, they can handle all sorts of illegal businesses, operating outside the rules. As long as they’re paid, they can do what many others cannot. However, it’s not just about trading; sometimes murder and robbery are commonplace. They basically live a life of constant danger, a veritable gathering place for vicious criminals,” Aurora added thoughtfully.

It was clear that although these black-armored men dressed like soldiers and appeared stern and serious,

in reality, once they removed their armor, who knew what kind of faces could calm a child’s tears? They weren’t strictly disciplined; they were purely driven by profit. Once the profit was gone, they would transform into ferocious beasts.

Upon hearing this, Sui Shenyao exclaimed in surprise, “Ah? These people don’t sound like good guys. What if they attack the others here for more money? Wouldn’t our plan be ruined? Would we still have a chance to board the spaceship then?”

Aurora, on the other hand, said confidently, “However, when it comes to transporting people out of the city, reputation matters. They generally don’t play tricks in this kind of thing. They know what’s good for them, so there’s no need to worry about that.”

Sui Shenyao wasn’t worried that Li Tianming and the others would be in danger in a place where they weren’t even at the Light Age level.

Facing someone at the Light Age level, Li Tianming was only outmatched in terms of fighting, not outrunning.

But if a ‘hijacking’ incident occurred, causing everyone to be permanently stuck on the spaceship, which hadn’t actually left the city, it would be equivalent to breaking Li Tianming’s plan.

The black-armored people here were mostly indifferent; their armor included facial protection, making their expressions invisible.

After Li Tianming, some other people continued to enter the Dark Beacon Dock.

About an hour later, several hundred passengers had gathered at Dark Beacon Dock, corresponding to several hundred black-armored men.

Finally, after a considerable number of people had assembled, another figure appeared, drawing everyone’s attention…
