Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7604

Chapter 7519: Princess Xiaoyue

“You’re too young to understand. It’s too late to blame you now. Let’s not talk about it anymore,” Ji Ziling sighed softly.

Then, she looked at Li Tianming and the others, her face instantly regaining the solemnity and majesty she had when proclaiming the rules.

Wan Yao and the others felt a chill run down their spines when they noticed this gaze.

Of course, this didn’t include Li Tianming, who was still silently trying to figure out the ins and outs of this series of events.

Moreover, he noticed that as soon as Ji Ziling appeared, the surrounding space seemed to be temporarily isolated, so the other participants didn’t notice what was happening between them.

From the outside, it seemed that they had entered the Inverted Tower, and nothing unusual had happened.

Ji Ziling glanced at the group and said calmly, “Which sects are you all from?”

Li Tianming was the first to clasp his hands in greeting, neither humble nor arrogant, “Your Highness, I am Li Tianming of the Heavenly Emperor Sect of the Li Clan.”

“Your Highness, from the Chaotic Dao Ruins…”

“Your Highness…”

The group announced their origins one after another.

After listening, Ji Ziling said indifferently, “None of you have heard of them? I’m not trying to insult you, but your sects are all second-rate, aren’t they?”

“Indeed, they’re second-rate,” Xiang Qin said frankly.

There was nothing to be ashamed of; after all, they had barely managed to produce one disciple who could advance. It was just the truth.

Ji Xuanjian then completely broke free from Ji Ziling’s control and shielded his ‘brothers’ in front of him.

Huangfu Yu was on the verge of tears, forced to face the imperial princess.

“Sects that are second-rate… and lacking in strength, this team…” Ji Ziling sighed, rubbing her forehead. “Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, you should have chosen a better team for me! Even if it’s not the original guaranteed first place, at least they could perform adequately…”

Ji Xuanjian, standing behind the group, could only chuckle apologetically at Ji Ziling.

Of course, Ji Ziling didn’t discern Li Tianming’s strength at all, because the sects were all roughly equal, so she naturally assumed he was at the same level as Wan Yao and the others.

“Forget it, with this team setup, Xiaoyue can just go in and have some fun. Eliminate them early; don’t take risks. Fighting is pointless, especially with four burdens here,” Ji Ziling said helplessly.

This wasn’t because she looked down on them, but based on the facts, so Wan Yao and the others had no complaints.

They were actually quite worried.

Although their strength was certainly inferior to Ji Xuanjian’s, what would happen to their sects if something happened to Ji Xuanjian in this Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War?

What would happen to them?

This teammate, who might become a powerful ally, wasn’t a valuable asset to them; rather, it was a potential danger.

“Li Tianming, right?” Ji Ziling looked at Li Tianming, immediately recognizing who their leader was.

“It’s me, Princess,” Li Tianming nodded and clasped his hands in greeting.

“When you go in with your brothers, try to avoid trouble. Safety first. You should know in your hearts that your level has reached its limit; there’s no point in trying anymore. Don’t make a big mistake because of greed. This is Qianfeng’s little princess, my sister.”

Everyone present was slightly stunned, their pupils shrinking.

“Little princess? This chatterbox… she’s actually a little princess?” Huangfu Yu was the first to be stunned.

In that instant, countless images flashed through his mind, as if he were frantically recalling whether he had offended her during their occasional banter.

As for Xiang Yan and Wan Yao, they were also trembling with fear.

Once this information was confirmed, they wished they could gouge their ears out immediately, because they had just heard some news that clearly involved secrets within the royal family.

The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes!

Li Tianming, on the other hand, showed an expression of knowing this was true. The two had previously addressed each other as sisters, which had basically confirmed part of the matter, and now that it had been officially confirmed, Li Tianming understood.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Ji Ziling also understood something. She said calmly, “As long as you don’t spread what I said before, you’ll be fine. But you must know that trouble comes from the mouth.”

“Your Highness, we will definitely keep the secret to the death and will not reveal a single word.” Xiang Qin was the first to express her opinion.

“Yes, Your Highness, we don’t have the guts, and it wouldn’t do us any good either.” Huangfu Yu bowed and said.

“This is your business. Just handle it well.” “Ji Ziling continued calmly, “Her life is precious. Although your lives are nothing to me, I advise you to cherish yourselves. So, try to avoid danger on this journey.”

Ji Xuanjian, seeing her identity directly exposed, knew she couldn’t hide it any longer.

So, she could only pat everyone’s backs with a wry smile, saying, “Brothers, it’s alright! I’ll protect you!”

Huangfu Yu was speechless, cursing his father inwardly!

If this little princess were to risk her life to protect them, they would not only lose their own lives, but their ancestral graves in their star system would be blown up.

After saying this, the little princess, using the alias Ji Xuanjian, immediately pulled the group forward, “Let’s go, let’s go, it’s time to enter the Upside-Down Tower. Sister, open your barrier, or we’ll miss it.” Ji

Ziling could only sigh and reach out a hand to sweep across the space.

By this time, almost all the Star Group participants had gone inside, leaving only Li Tianming and the others, so no one noticed the anomaly.

As for the few powerful members of the Fengxu official army, they watched helplessly as the group emerged from the barrier.

Ji Ziling glanced at them, and they immediately shook their weapons, saying in unison, “Please rest assured, Princess, we will definitely not leak this information, or we will atone with our lives.”

Ji Xuanjian walked with Li Tianming and the others, laughing, “We’ve come this far, don’t look so gloomy. As long as you don’t reveal my identity, it’s fine. If there’s a small crisis, I should be able to help you out. Take it easy, this is a good thing.”

“Young Princess…” Huangfu Yu was straightforward, but after seeing the dangerous look in the other’s eyes, he immediately changed his words, “Brother Ji, this is easier said than done. How can it be so easy to accept?”

“That’s your business.” “Ji Xuanjian snorted.

At the same time, she came to Li Tianming’s side. She seemed to prefer staying by Li Tianming’s side, because he seemed to only show surprise from beginning to end, without being too amazed.

“I wonder if this kid is too obedient and has really forced himself to adapt, or if he doesn’t care about my princess status at all,” Ji Xuanjian thought to herself, while squinting at Li Tianming.

All of this was completely unknown to the outside world.

Even Li Xuanyin and the others only vaguely seemed to know that there was a fifth person in Li Tianming’s group, but they didn’t know much about it.

After all, at this point, there was no need to pick anymore; having someone was better than having none.

Most importantly, the Qianfeng Ring only activates its image upon the participants entering the secret realm.

Therefore, they had no idea what Li Tianming and the others had experienced before.

Inside the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, they were still in the spectator positions of the Super Star Battlefield.

However, this time the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle wasn’t held in the Super Star Battlefield; only their respective spectator platforms displayed the images of their sect disciples’ Qianfeng Rings.

After some time, finally…

“Tianming and the others have entered the Upside-Down Tower!” Li Dixiao said with burning eyes.
