Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7593

Chapter 7507: Ji Xuanjian

After leaving the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, the group wandered through the Beacon Ruins. Li Tianming followed the route given by Yin Chen, exploring the area.

Occasionally, he would buy small trinkets from roadside shops, a faint smile on his face, seemingly enjoying the sights.

As for Wan Yao and the others, after initially feeling strange, they gradually blended in with Li Tianming’s atmosphere.

Soon, Li Tianming had completed his winding tour when Yin Chen suddenly spoke through his companion space:

“Closer… closer… to you!”

Li Tianming was currently standing in front of a stall selling jade hairpins made of precious minerals, picking up a jade hairpin with butterfly-shaped decorations and examining it.

The item wasn’t very valuable, so the shopkeeper didn’t seem to care.

“Look left, ahead,” Yin Chen spoke again.

At this moment, Li Tianming glanced over out of the corner of his eye and immediately saw a person with short green hair and a green robe.

He was slightly smaller than Li Tianming, but his movements seemed very efficient. He appeared to be a handsome young man; his features weren’t outstanding, but they were certainly not ugly.

While Li Tianming was secretly observing him, the man seemed to notice Li Tianming and his group first, and his gaze brightened instantly without any attempt to conceal it.

He swiftly rushed towards Li Tianming and his companions, his eyes filled with surprise. His speed was so fast that

it

even created a whistling sound.

“We’ve been targeted?” Wan Yao’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

Xiang Qin took a half-step back, shielding Li Tianming in front of her. “Brother Tianming, this person seems to be coming for us. Is he someone you know?”

Li Tianming shook his head. “No, I don’t know him.”

“I heard that during your sect’s first round, someone was killed outside the arena. Perhaps it’s better to avoid trouble and go back for now?” Huangfu Yu said at this moment.

“We’ve arrived,” Li Tianming chuckled.

“Roar~~~”

A clear, slightly panicked voice rang out.

The man in the green robe with short green hair stopped in front of Li Tianming after charging forward, his body leaning forward uncontrollably and his arms swinging wildly backward, clearly unable to stop.

They almost… collided.

Li Tianming, however, stood calmly in place, watching his opponent.

At this moment, Wan Yao and the others, though unable to sense the opponent’s strength or realm, were still very cautious.

After all, in the inner region, especially in a capital like Fengxu, there were far too many unexpected events for them, outsiders.

“Who are you?” Huangfu Yu frowned slightly and asked first.

“Me? That’s not important. I’ll ask you, are you four going to participate in the second round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle? Are you missing one person to join the team?” The man widened his eyes, pointed to himself, and then said. “

So what if we are?” Li Tianming said calmly. *

Snap!*

The boy clapped his hands and laughed heartily, “That’s good, that’s good! Then we can participate in the second round together.”

“Hey! What do you mean? We haven’t agreed yet, how can you take over like this?” Huangfu Yu said speechlessly.

“Oh, don’t worry, I’m quite capable, I won’t hold you back.” The green-robed man patted his chest.

“Is this brother… reliable?” Even Li Tianming was secretly communicating with Yin Chen at this moment.

“At least, he has the strength, and she’s a woman.” Yin Chen said calmly.

Li Tianming was slightly surprised, but he remained calm on the surface.

If Yin Chen hadn’t reminded him, he really wouldn’t have known that the other party was a woman. For cultivators, merely dressing as a man is as good as nothing.

This person definitely has something that can hide her identity, and it’s of high quality!

Even Li Tianming didn’t see it, and Xiang Qin and the other two were even less able to see it, completely regarding the person in front of them as a boy.

At this moment, the green-robed ‘youth’ glanced at Li Tianming, his eyes lighting up. “Brother, you’re their leader, right? I can tell. How about it, want to consider me? Letting me join the team wouldn’t be a loss!”

Li Tianming smiled slightly, pretending not to know the other’s identity, and said, “Of course I believe in your strength, brother, but shouldn’t we at least get to know each other a little? For example, what’s your name, and what sect are you from?”

The green-haired youth’s eyes darted around, and without hesitation, he replied, “My name is ‘Ji Xuanjian,’ a member of the Divine Ruins Clan, from the ‘Xuanjian Star Sect’!”

At this moment, several people behind Li Tianming whispered among themselves.

“I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this sect. Is it a recently risen, low-level sect?” Huangfu Yu hesitated.

“I don’t know, maybe. There are so many sects in the outer regions, their strength varies greatly. So many sects rise and fall, it’s hard to say,” Xiang Qin said thoughtfully.

“Forget it, let’s not worry about it, let’s see what Brother Tianming says,” Wan Yao said.

However, at this moment, Yin Chen communicated with Li Tianming: “There is no such sect.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming remained outwardly calm, but inwardly wondered, “Is this person definitely a participant?”

“If she’s not a participant, she shouldn’t be able to enter the Myriad Sects Battle Hall. Yin Chen saw her come out of the Myriad Sects Battle Hall,” Aurora said at this moment.

At this point, Li Tianming also had a slight idea.

He didn’t expose the sect the other party had fabricated, but instead smiled and extended his hand, saying, “Since that’s the case, meeting is fate! We can just make a five-person team.”

“Brother Tianming…” Xiang Qin was a little stunned.

“Wait, isn’t this a bit hasty?” Wan Yao was a little confused.

At this moment, even Huangfu Yu seemed a little puzzled.

“Brother, great! We can just team up and go through this second round together!”

Ji Xuanjian grabbed Li Tianming’s hand, but not to shake hands!

She used the momentum to pull him up and jumped onto Li Tianming, hugging him tightly.

Li Tianming, his hands hanging limply at this moment, said somewhat embarrassedly, “It’s just a team formation, you don’t need to be so formal.”

This Ji Xuanjian was clearly overly cheerful and outgoing, seemingly assuming they were on the same team from the moment he saw Li Tianming and the others.

Moreover, such unrestrained behavior was rare, even among men.

Ji Xuanjian got off Li Tianming, patted him on the shoulder, and said casually, “What’s there to be afraid of? We’re all brothers!”

Wan Yao and the others exchanged glances, seemingly without any hesitation before Ji Xuanjian had already been included in their team.

“What do we do now?” Wan Yao asked, his eyes wide.

“What else can we do but throw a big welcome ceremony for Brother Ji!” Huangfu Yu said, his hands hanging limply.

“Why are you being so disappointing? Finding teammates is a good thing!” Xiang Qin seemed to accept this fact quickly.

Of course, he had no facial features, so no one knew what expression he had when he said this.

“That’s right, that’s right, I told you, I’m very strong!” Ji Xuanjian winked at the group. Li Tianming

then rested his chin on his hand, sizing up the other party, and said thoughtfully, “Sect alliances are usually negotiated between elders at the negotiating table. Why don’t you bring your elders to meet our elders first?”

Ji Xuanjian’s expression changed almost imperceptibly, but he quickly concealed it.

“This… is completely unnecessary! My elders will definitely agree.” Ji Xuanjian said with a smile.

“What if our elders don’t agree? We can’t just form an alliance without knowing anything about each other, can we?” Huangfu Yu said speechlessly.

“Who said we don’t know the details? Didn’t I tell you my name and sect? Let me put it this way, I’m from the Divine Ruins Clan, so you can infer that my entire sect is from the Divine Ruins Clan. Isn’t that enough information?” Ji Xuanjian said, his eyes wide. “Besides, isn’t it precisely because we might be rejected by our elders that we need to do this secretly?”

The others behind Li Tianming were all sweating bullets.

“What kind of logic is this? Doesn’t this mean we have to keep it from our elders and expand the team by one person?” Xiang Qin was even more speechless.

“What if they find out about me and reject me because the two sects aren’t familiar with each other? Anyway, you’re short one person now, so why not try it as a last resort?” Ji Xuanjian said, his eyes slightly wide.

At this moment, Li Tianming suddenly smiled and said, “You’re right. It’s indeed not appropriate to meet people you’re not familiar with. Since you’re not planning to meet our elders, let’s just forget about it.”

“Hey? Don’t be like that!” Ji Xuanjian glared at him, grabbing Li Tianming’s arm, “We’re all brothers, why be so formal?”

“Fine, I won’t tease you anymore. Give me the communication star tower.” Li Tianming smiled and shook his head, taking out his own communication star tower with one hand and holding out the other empty.

Ji Xuanjian was slightly stunned upon seeing this, then clutched his chest, looking hurt, and said, “I gave you my heart and this is how I get treated? I hate you!”

“So, do you want it or not?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat speechless.

“Yes, yes, yes! Of course!” Ji Xuanjian exchanged communication star towers with Li Tianming, clutching them to her chest as if they were precious treasures. She waved as she walked away, saying, “When it’s time to start, I’ll sneak over to find you all and we’ll go in together. Wait for me!”

After saying that, she ran off quite a distance, but then seemed to remember something and turned back to Li Tianming, asking, “By the way, what’s your name?” *

Pfft! *

This made everyone, including Li Tianming, feel like they were about to vomit blood.

It turned out the other person was even more hasty than them, deciding to join forces without even knowing their names.

“Li Tianming, Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, Li Tianming!” Li Tianming waved and announced loudly.

“Got it! Brother Tianming!” Ji Xuanjian waved from afar.

After saying that, she quickly disappeared completely.

“Brother Tianming, are we really joining forces with this kid? He seems even less composed than me…” Huangfu Yu looked at Li Tianming speechlessly.

“Hehe, don’t you find this kind of person amusing? Besides, like she said, we don’t have any other choice. The worst that can happen is just pretending she doesn’t exist,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“Should we tell our elders?” Wan Yao suddenly asked.

“No need. Let’s leave it at that. No one should tell anyone about what happened today. Just a few of us will know.” Li Tianming walked towards the Wan Zong Battle Hall, not caring whether the others followed.

Wan Yao and the others exchanged glances, seemingly somewhat helpless, but it seemed they still intended to do as Li Tianming said.

Soon after, they followed.

However, it was clear that Xiang Qin and the others sighed slightly.
