Chapter 7522: Waiting for a Rabbit to Fall into a Trap

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming smiled slightly and said, “Yes, so I have a suggestion: let me be the team’s overall commander, or rather, the captain, to lead the team’s decisions.”

“Brother Tianming, is this decision really appropriate?” Huangfu Yu frowned slightly.

“No matter what we consider, we should at least have some criteria for choosing this captain, right?” Wan Yao glanced intentionally at Ji Xuanjian beside him.

Li Tianming understood what the others meant; after all, the strongest person present was likely Ji Xuanjian, which was also what Wan Yao and the others considered the strongest.

Moreover, his position was high.

“Are you confident you can lead us out of this encirclement?” Ji Xuanjian rested his chin on his hand, looking at Li Tianming with some doubt.

“With our team’s configuration, if anyone dares to make that guarantee, then let them be the captain so I can rest.” Li Tianming said, somewhat amused.

Ji Xuanjian was slightly taken aback, but had to admit it was true.

So she could only say, seemingly reluctantly, “Alright, alright, since you’re quite pleasing to the eye, I’ll give you this chance.”

Those who had been hoping Ji Xuanjian would say something were now somewhat stunned.

Even the little princess of the empire had no objections, so why would they?

Thus, the outcome wasn’t much of a suspense.

But Li Tianming could still see a hint of resentment in everyone’s eyes.

So he smiled at them and said, “Don’t worry, everyone. If I really can’t lead you all to better things, I won’t cling to the captain’s position. I promise to serve as captain for the next hundred years, deciding the treasure hunt route, the distribution of treasures, and the battle arrangements. If everyone thinks I’ve done a good job after a hundred years, I’ll continue as captain. If more than three people object, then we’ll hold a new vote to elect a new captain. Does anyone have any objections?”

Upon hearing this, the three looked at each other, even a hint of disbelief in their eyes.

With Ji Xuanjian’s approval, regardless of their true feelings, Li Tianming was at least outwardly everyone’s pillar of support.

But now, Li Tianming had offered another path, actively giving others the opportunity to overthrow his captaincy.

Wan Yao, Xiang Qin, and Huangfu Yu had grown up together. If they weren’t dissatisfied with Li Tianming’s management, this century-long agreement would be a complete waste.

They were incredulous and curious about Li Tianming’s confidence in making others willing to let him be their captain even a century later.

Ji Xuanjian looked at Li Tianming, her eyes filled with disbelief. Although she didn’t speak, her gaze conveyed a sense of disappointment.

“What’s wrong? Everyone’s stunned. You can speak up if you have any objections ,” Li Tianming said with a smile when he saw the silence.

“I have no objections. Do whatever you want,” Ji Xuanjian scoffed.

Actually, Wan Yao and the others weren’t necessarily opposed to Li Tianming; they were just a little annoyed by his unauthorized suggestion.

Now that Li Tianming had made a promise completely unfavorable to them, and Princess Qianfeng didn’t seem to care, they were speechless.

“I can accept it,” Wan Yao said first.

Then, Xiang Qin and Huangfu Yu also spoke up.

“I have no objection.”

“No problem, let’s do it this way.”

Li Tianming nodded in satisfaction. “Okay, then let’s arrange the initial plan a bit…”

In the following time, Li Tianming symbolically unified the team’s opinions, including the choice between treasures and competitors, and the choices at different stages of the early, middle, and late stages.

Of course, the most important thing was to wait for Yin Chen to spread the word and obtain a more complete view.

Just as Li Tianming was arranging the team’s next target, Yin Chen suddenly spoke in his companion space.

“There are people squatting near the entrance, you guys!”

“Who are they?” Li Tianming subconsciously asked in his mind.

At this time, Li Tianming and the others were not far from the entrance, and there were basically no other people around. They all rushed into the depths of the ‘Upside-Down Tower’ to search for treasure.

“Illusion Star Cave, a bunch of people!” Yin Chen cursed.

“They don’t even put the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle first, how much do they hate me?” Li Tianming sneered in his heart.

At this time, the ‘good boys’ who had finished arranging things went together into the unknown depths of the universe before them, where their view was obscured.

Not long after they stepped outside, five hazy figures suddenly appeared before them.

Wan Yao and the others immediately became alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

“Someone’s here!” Wan Yao exclaimed, extending his arm to stop the others.

“Why aren’t these people looking for treasure? Why are they just standing around here?” Huangfu Yu frowned, puzzled.

From within the layer of seven-colored mist, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to them suddenly rang out: “You’ve really kept us waiting. Taking so long just to enter the Upside-Down Tower.”

“It’s Feng Yue Wu Guang!” Xiang Qin’s tone suddenly turned cold and stern.

“What?” Wan Yao’s eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

“It’s those few punks?” Ji Xuanjian frowned.

“Speechless and rude, if you spew more filth, don’t blame us for punishing you.” Another female voice rang out, none other than Feng Yue Hua Lian’s.

“Tch, you think you can punish me?” Ji Xuanjian scoffed.

At this moment, the group stopped hiding and revealed themselves completely.

Among them, the effeminate, slender youth with black hair and white robes, the heroic youth in black robes, and Zhao Xiyuan were in the main seats, while Feng Yuehualian and Feng Yue Wuguang were behind them.

“Brother Hongxi, Brother Kan Yue, and Sister Xiyuan, we’ve troubled your Wanyi Ancient Sect for our grudges in the Illusion Star Cave, causing you to waste so much time here…” Feng Yuehualian said with a forced smile.

“It’s alright. In the Wanzong Emperor Battle, strength is ultimately paramount. Spending a little time watching a bit of fun is not a loss at all, and it won’t affect the progress later.” The effeminate youth’s voice was soft, but it was not polite at all.

“We are a team. It’s normal for us to crush other teams’ insects in the Wanzong Emperor Battle. Don’t take it to heart.” The heroic youth, called Brother Kan Yue, said with a sneer.

However, facing a team composed of only two sects, Wan Yao and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

They knew Feng Yuehualian and Feng Yue Wuguang quite well; their strength was already among the stronger of their brother sects.

Besides those two, there were three others who were clearly backers they had found, the very reason they were able to outmaneuver sects like Hundaoxu when the major sects were discussing an alliance!

Therefore, their opponent’s strength could only be greater!
