Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7657

Chapter 7572: Prince Yuan

Over the past nine hundred years, Aurora, Sui Shenyao, and Yin Chen had thoroughly investigated the information of most of the participants.

Therefore, upon seeing the group, Aurora was immediately able to confirm their identities.

“These people are all members of third-tier star system member states, using their foreign sect memberships to participate in the war,” Aurora whispered to Li Tianming.

This surprised Li Tianming; he hadn’t expected an entirely inner-region team, all from third-tier member states.

Meanwhile, in the Myriad Sects Battle Hall,

Li Dixiao was stunned by the news.

He belatedly realized, “So the connection between the eldest princess and Tianming is here! The one who was originally just ‘filling the quota’ was actually the noble little princess!”

“So, Tianming defeated the opponents to protect the little princess? If that’s the reason, then there’s no need to fear revenge,” Li Zhaotang said, seemingly pleased.

“Actually, why would the little princess need protection? As long as we subtly or overtly inform them, no one will dare to kill her. So, the group eliminated by destiny will most likely have to bear the brunt of this grudge ourselves!” Li Xuanyin said slowly.

The situation didn’t seem optimistic, and everyone naturally understood this.

“It’s too early to conclude whether it’s a blessing or a curse. This kid seems reckless, but he actually has his own plans. He’s maneuvering between the royal family and these rivals; perhaps he has his own way of dealing with things,” Xuan Tianque said with a smile.

In fact, the grudges of these sects couldn’t reach him, nor would they dare to reach him, a person from the inner border. Therefore, they analyzed Li Tianming’s situation very specifically.

Li Dixiao and the others could only hope that Li Tianming really had some plan to avoid unnecessary grudges.

At this moment, Feng Yueyouwei and the others were shocked and clearly somewhat fearful.

“Sister Lingyi, thank goodness your daughter didn’t kill the little princess! If she had been eliminated like that, wouldn’t Emperor Qianfeng have been furious?” Feng Yue Youwei stood beside Qian Huan Lingyi, speaking cautiously.

However, Qian Huan Lingyi glanced at her and said coldly, “Do you think the little princess, despite being pampered, is just a useless pretty face?”

Feng Yue Youwei instantly understood, her eyes widening slightly. “Could it be… she didn’t even go all out before?”

“No one knows her exact strength level in the inner region, but in the outer region, she’s undoubtedly overwhelming. So whether our people went too far or not is completely irrelevant,” Qian Huan Lingyi said slowly.

They had no right to offend her in battle, but ignorance was no excuse for her words.

But Qian Huan Lingyi still felt uneasy, so she frantically recalled what her daughter had said and done.

Buzz—

a sentence her second daughter had said during her battle with Ji Xuanjian suddenly flashed into her mind, and her legs went weak, her face turning deathly pale!

“Sister Lingyi, what’s wrong?” Feng Yue Youwei quickly supported the almost exhausted Qian Huan Lingyi, asking with concern.

“I…I’m fine!” Qian Huan Lingyi forced a smile.

She still remembered her second daughter, Qian Huan Su Nian, actually calling the little princess a ‘bastard’!

This matter could be big or small; perhaps no one would even pay attention to that little episode, but if someone made a big deal out of it, it would be a capital offense against the Qianfeng royal family!

But Qian Huan Lingyi was forcing herself to remain calm, burying the matter deep in her heart!

As long as no one noticed, it could be as if it had never happened…

…

Meanwhile, in the Wanzong Imperial Tower.

It had been nine hundred years since Jing Xiang’s two grandsons were eliminated.

He must have felt resentful at the elimination of his carefully nurtured grandsons, but after so much time, his mindset had calmed down somewhat.

The people present actually knew Ji Xuanjian’s true identity, so they weren’t surprised that his identity was revealed.

However, when the two teams met, the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor’s eyes flickered for a moment. He remained silent, glancing only at the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor before looking away.

After meeting Li Dixiao and the others, Ji Ziling returned to the main hall and sat down beside the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor.

While the others were still focused on the image, the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor suddenly sensed something and turned his gaze towards the entrance of the hall.

Although Ji Ziling didn’t sense any aura, she noticed the change in the person beside her.

“Father, have new guests arrived?” Ji Ziling slightly raised her eyes.

“Yes.” The Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor nodded.

At this moment, the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor and Mirror Image also noticed a change in the atmosphere.

They both looked towards the entrance.

Sure enough, a tall, straight, but rather thin old man with a hooked nose, his hands behind his back, slowly entered their line of sight.

This old man had half-black and half-white hair, and wore light armor, appearing very capable.

Although his face was etched with wrinkles, his sharp gaze, slanted eyebrows, and chiseled features still hinted at the charisma of his youth.

Most importantly, he possessed an innate aura of battlefield ferocity; his presence was overwhelming. Even the Heavenly Emperor of Ten Thousand Realms was taken aback upon his arrival.

The old man glanced briefly at those present, his expression neither joy nor sorrow.

“Uncle, please take a seat,” Emperor Qianfeng said, rising to his feet and gesturing for the old man to sit to his left.

To his right sat Ji Ziling.

“Hmm,” the old man with the aquiline nose nodded slightly, offering no further comment.

Tall and slender with long legs, he moved swiftly, displaying a decisive and efficient nature.

In an instant, he was beside Emperor Qianfeng.

Only then did the others present bow to the old man.

“Greetings, Prince Yuan,” Ji Ziling said, rising and bowing slightly.

“Greetings, Prince Yuan.” Jing Xiang bowed and said.

“Sit down, no need for formalities.” The old man addressed as Prince Yuan nodded.

After he finished speaking, the two sat down.

At this moment, the Emperor of Myriad Realms suddenly cupped his hands and asked with a smile, “Prince Yuan, what brings you here today to watch these juniors’ petty squabbles? Aren’t you stationed at a key location?” Upon

hearing this, Prince Yuan looked at the other party and said calmly, “With the Divine Treasure Army here, the Divine Treasure Mine is safe. Why would I need to personally guard it? Besides, my children are among those participating in the battle. What’s wrong with me coming to see them?”

“Hehe, I have long heard that Prince Yuan commands countless Divine Treasure Soldiers, each as brave as Prince Yuan himself. They are arguably the most valiant army in the Qianfeng Eternal Empire. With them here, the Divine Treasure Mine is indeed safe.” The Emperor of Myriad Realms nodded with a smile.

“The Eternal Empire of Qianfeng has more than one army, and there’s no reason for them to fight each other. Without a clear winner, no one can claim to be the ‘best’,” Prince Yuan said calmly, his expression unchanging.

“Prince Yuan is absolutely right,” Emperor Wanjing smiled slightly, then added, “However, to be honest, the strength of an army is always limited. What truly determines a nation’s deterrent power is its national treasure. I wonder how well this national treasure has been forged over such a long period?”
