Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7471

Chapter 7385: Ink-Dyed Sword

Contrary to Li Tianming’s expectations, the interior of this light-year-old cosmic starship was dazzlingly bright, a stark contrast to its black exterior.

Starlight shone brilliantly, forming a rushing river across the sky, scattering colorful specks.

Its opulence rivaled that of a royal palace, while its layout resembled a vast, grand restaurant. Everyone was seated, awaiting their destination.

However, just as everyone boarded the starship, suddenly!

Boom—!!

A deep sound erupted, yet the starship remained perfectly stable in space.

But to everyone’s eyes, the image arrays allowing observation of the outside world showed the surrounding scenery rapidly receding.

Eventually, it became so fast that everything blurred into a single color, like an endless veil covering the starship!

“So fast!”

“As expected of a spaceship of the Light Age, this speed can easily traverse the distance between provinces and reach the destination quickly.”

“Even at this speed, it would take a month. If I were to cross it by physical means, it would probably take even longer.”

Inside the spaceship, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

At this moment, the white-armored woman appeared in a corner of the main cabin, silently observing everyone.

At this time, a black-armored man appeared beside her.

He took out the 80,000 Super Star Dao Crystals given by Li Tianming, handed them to the white-armored woman, and whispered a few words in her ear.

The white-armored woman, who had been indifferent, glanced at Li Tianming with her distant eyes after listening, and then her lips curled up slightly…

All of this happened in the shadows, and almost no one noticed.

At this time, having boarded the spaceship, everyone relaxed a little.

Yin Chen, who had already split into countless individuals in the Dark Beacon Dock, had already rushed into the cabin with the crowd.

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Li Tianming also learned more information.

“So, this spaceship is called the ‘Ink-Dyed Sword’.” Li Tianming mused after learning the name from Yin Chen.

“Ink-Dyed? Isn’t that Xiaoyu’s name?” Sui Shenyao exclaimed in surprise.

Even Aurora chuckled, “This name is quite fitting for us. It would be even more interesting if Xiaoyu were here too.”

Li Tianming smiled slightly, “Perhaps Xiaoyu will come to the Inner Frontier someday, but not now. We need to establish ourselves first. Sooner or later, our whole family will leave the Heavenly Emperor’s territory, not just the Inner Frontier!”

The main cabin was slightly more lively than in Dark Beacon Dock, as the environment enhanced the atmosphere.

The bright and luxurious scene was a world apart from the darkness of Dark Beacon Dock.

The black-armored men who brought Li Tianming and the other passengers into the Ink-Dyed Sword weren’t completely close to them.

The cabin was currently huddled together, with the other black-armored men surrounding them, creating the illusion of them being completely encircled.

Because the Ink-Dyed Sword was moving so fast, yet the cabin was so stable, Li Tianming and the others couldn’t actually perceive its speed directly.

So, Sui Shenyao pestered Yin Chen, insisting he describe the speed, since he could clearly see the spaceship rushing out from the Beacon Ruins.

After listening, Sui Shenyao exclaimed, “This spaceship seems to be quite outstanding in terms of speed; it seems to use extreme speed to avoid being seen by many people.”

Without considerable strength, ordinary pedestrians might not even see the Ink-Dyed Sword disappear.

In fact, every spaceship has its own relative characteristics. Just as the Illusion Whale is adept at using illusion arrays to disguise itself, the Ink-Dyed Sword possesses speed surpassing other spaceships of its class.

Meanwhile, the black-armored people were chatting and laughing in their respective areas, seemingly relaxed.

After all, their job was almost entirely just to travel with the spaceship; generally, no one dared to cause trouble, given the powerful presence of the white-armored woman.

Other passengers like Li Tianming were relatively quieter.

It seemed that those who wanted to leave the city this way generally didn’t reveal their destination, and most of them didn’t know each other. Knowing that everyone here was no ordinary person, they rarely tried to get close.

Occasionally, small groups would chat, but these were usually people already traveling together or acquaintances. There were

quite a few people like Li Tianming, sitting quietly alone in a corner.

Of course, while Li Tianming appeared calm on the surface, he was actually chatting with Aurora Suishenyao and his companion beasts.

Suddenly,

an elderly passenger approached Li Tianming and sat down nearby, acting as if they were old friends.

At that moment, Li Tianming became wary and temporarily stopped his telepathic communication.

The old man’s method of concealing his identity seemed rather crude, using only a golden mask to cover his face.

He was slightly short, but his back was straight, and he seemed quite energetic. His hair and beard were both white, with a long beard hanging down to his chin through the mask.

“Fellow Daoist, are you also leaving the city alone?” the old man asked directly.

“Indeed,” Li Tianming replied somewhat coldly, not wanting to get involved with unrelated people.

However, the fact that he was alone could not be hidden; at least on the surface, he was indeed alone.

“Old man, among so many lonely people, you came to see me. Is there something you need?” Li Tianming asked directly.

“Well… I don’t think so. But I see that this seems to be your first time leaving the city through the Ink-Dyed Sword?” The old man stroked his beard and laughed, “Haha, it’s not that I’m deliberately speculating about you. It’s not unusual for someone to use the underground black market channels for the first time; many people do it.” “

It’s alright,” Li Tianming said calmly.

At this point, the old man stopped there, ceasing his discussion of Li Tianming’s personal affairs. Instead, he enthusiastically launched into a long-winded explanation:

“This Ink-Dyed Sword has existed for a very long time. Since the inception of this outbound service, it has been used by the underground black market for profit… It must be said that, among light-year-old cosmic starships, the Ink-Dyed Sword is indeed stronger in terms of raw firepower, possessing both incredible speed and formidable destructive power.”

The old man in the golden mask spoke to himself, seemingly regretting that such a treasure had not been used for its proper purpose.

Li Tianming simply responded politely, unaware of the other man’s true intentions.
