Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7585

Chapter 7499: Senior!

After they arrived, the elders leading the sects and the participating geniuses were completely divided into two groups.

“Everyone, are we late?” the tall and burly middle-aged member of the Ten Meridians Imperial Clan laughed heartily.

“How could we be late? As long as everyone is here, it’s never too late.” Li Zhaotang said with a smile.

“Haha… I, Huangfu Qi, am a rough man, too lazy to mince words. Anyway, it just so happens that all the disciples of our sect have advanced this time, so we must not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Huangfu Qi sat down with his hands on his knees, his posture very bold.

“Of course, I believe that everyone has the same goal and will definitely achieve better results in the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial Battle.” Li Dixiao said with a slight smile.

“Xiang Yan, let your precious disciple go find those kids. You’ve discovered a genius, and you’re pampering him like a treasure every day. When will he grow up? A true man should be trained through experience. You’re only wasting his talent like this.” Huangfu Qi looked at the white jade figure Xiang Yan beside him and said somewhat gruffly.

“How I teach my disciples is none of your business. Xiang Qin has already advanced, and the child you brought isn’t much better,” Xiang Yan said, somewhat speechless.

Although they exchanged banter, it was all just playful banter.

The elders leading the groups exchanged pleasantries and talked about their own geniuses, quickly gaining a better understanding of each other’s talents.

Upon hearing that Li Tianming wasn’t from the Li imperial clan, several powerful figures gave him a meaningful look, their eyes showing surprise.

Of course, they also noticed Jiang Feiling standing nearby, but when asked about her identity, Li Dixiao always tried to change the subject.

This was understandable, as those from the Heavenly Emperor Sect who had previously established connections with Jiang Feiling seemed to have all passed away.

Now, at this crucial time for discussing joint matters, they were genuinely worried that Jiang Feiling might become displeased and attack other sects.

Therefore, Jiang Feiling remained quietly beautiful in a corner beside Li Tianming, a serene beauty.

Of course, elders have their activities, and juniors have their interactions.

However, in this interaction, Li Tianming’s involvement was limited to learning each other’s names and getting to know them somewhat.

Xiang Yan, Huangfu Yu, and Wan Yao, after gaining a preliminary understanding of Li Tianming, seemed to lose interest, especially after hearing about his strength in the last battle.

It could be said that while Li Tianming had no conflict with them, it was far from possible for him to become familiar with them in such a short time.

Li Tianming was also completely unaware of the personalities of these geniuses.

Realizing that there seemed to be no place for him among them, Li Tianming also lost interest and simply returned to Jiang Feiling’s side to stay quietly.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to get to know your future comrades a little better?” Jiang Feiling said to Li Tianming with a smile.

“Come on, these three don’t even have a place for me. They’re chatting happily like old friends, why should I join in?” Li Tianming said, somewhat annoyed.

After trying to fit in, Li Tianming finally realized that these three were clearly a small clique.

They got along like childhood friends, and Li Tianming’s addition made the atmosphere so strained.

The reason was easy to understand.

As top geniuses of their respective sects, they had undoubtedly shone brightly from childhood until adulthood, inevitably interacting with each other, so they had indeed known each other since childhood.

As for Li Tianming, he was a complete newcomer from the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Before him, the Heavenly Emperor Sect had no genius of his caliber, so naturally, they had no old ties.

“Saying they didn’t know each other beforehand, it just feels like they look down on us, don’t recognize us as dark horses,” Sui Shenyao chuckled.

“Whatever, I don’t need them anyway, I just need to take care of myself,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

In fact, this gathering could be considered an initiative of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, given that they had been relatively weak among the younger generation recently.

Having finally secured Li Tianming as a promising talent through a marriage alliance, Li Dixiao naturally wanted to seize this crucial opportunity, hence the gathering.

Li Dixiao was unaware that Li Tianming had grown stronger, even to a shocking degree.

However, at this moment, Li Dixiao suddenly whispered to Li Tianming, “Tianming, spend more time with these fellow disciples; this might give you confidence for the second round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle.”

Li Tianming looked at him with some surprise. He didn’t look directly at Li Tianming, but communicated with him in some other way.

“Forget it, I’ll just go along with my father-in-law’s wishes and not make things too difficult for him,” Li Tianming

said helplessly. However, his actions were limited to maintaining a certain level of polite communication; truly integrating into the group was not up to Li Tianming.

Soon, some time passed.

Huangfu Qi glared and shouted, “Where are the people from the Illusionary Star Cave? Why haven’t they come yet? If they don’t come soon, we’re all going to be scattered!”

“I don’t know, maybe they encountered some accident. Should I use the communication star tower to ask?” Xiang Yan suddenly said.

Just as he was about to take out the communication star tower, a hunched figure suddenly entered the private room.

“Ahem…”

It was a bald old man in a gray robe. He entered with his head slightly lowered, seemingly not intending to greet anyone.

Around his gray robe were countless Illusionary God Runes like swimming fish. These gray patterns swirled around, vaguely bringing a chill.

Very strong! As

soon as this old man appeared, Li Tianming felt a sense of warning.

Behind this old man were a young couple and a boy and girl.

These could all be considered members of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, but their bloodline was clearly purer than that of the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan!

Both the young man and the boy were extremely handsome, with snow-white skin.

The young couple, one in a black robe and the other in a white dress,

were strikingly similar. The man possessed a handsome and refined appearance, while the woman was gentle and beautiful. In fact, aside from their attire, their faces were identical!

Furthermore, the young man was spirited and exceptionally handsome, while the young woman wore a faint smile, exuding a composed demeanor.

“This old senior is…” Li Zhaotang was somewhat bewildered.

They hadn’t known of this old man’s arrival beforehand, and his sudden appearance had created an unsettling atmosphere.

The moment the old man appeared, the atmosphere in the private room turned icy!
