Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7667

Chapter 7582: On the Right Path!

Inside the inverted tower,

the spoils of the battle had already been divided between Li Tianming and Ji Xuanjian.

Of course, Li Tianming took the lion’s share.

Ji Xuanjian glanced at Ji Xuanjing and the others, who were almost incapacitated, then at Li Tianming, and said with a smile, “Why don’t we just eliminate these people? If necessary, I’ll take care of them.”

“We are all descendants of the Heavenly Emperor from third-level star system member states. Have you considered the consequences?” Li Zhu said fiercely.

“You and I are both princesses. If you go too far, then in the future, if my Zhiwang Eternal Empire and your Qianfeng Eternal Empire have any dealings, we will certainly not show any mercy,” Tianluo Siye said, her face somewhat pale.

In reality, they were also a little afraid!

After all, judging from Ji Xuanjian’s hasty decision to find a participating team, everyone could probably guess that this little princess of Qianfeng seemed to lack a sense of the big picture.

Under this premise, they didn’t dare gamble on whether Ji Xuanjian was serious. If she was, they wouldn’t have the chance to continue participating in the battle.

However, Li Tianming’s reaction seemed to surprise everyone.

“Let it go,” Li Tianming said with a smile, shaking his head. “Giving them a lesson is enough. There’s no need to create unnecessary trouble. Taking things too far will only cause your father unnecessary worries.”

This was an easy decision to make, and Li Tianming understood it very well.

If he nodded now, that would be truly foolish, equivalent to squandering the goodwill that Li Tianming and Emperor Qianfeng had painstakingly built up through Ji Xuanjian. That would be losing more than he gained.

“Alright then, I’ll give you face and let them go!” Ji Xuanjian seemed not to have thought much of it, just smiled and said. Then, she turned to Ji Xuanjing and the others, raising an eyebrow: “Now that Brother Tianming has let you go, why don’t you get lost?”

At this moment, Ji Ziling, far away in the Wanzong Imperial Tower, couldn’t help but smile as she watched the two of them talking back and forth.

“Xiao Yue really wants to help this kid, and he’s quite shrewd,” Ji Ziling whispered to Emperor Qianfeng.

Emperor Qianfeng smiled but remained silent, his gaze fixed on the image, unsure whether to look at Ji Xuanjian or Li Tianming.

In their brief exchange, the two had already divided the responsibility.

Although Ji Xuanjian was playful, she was still capable of handling matters of state. She didn’t actually intend to eliminate anyone, but claimed it was out of respect for Li Tianming.

In this way, Ji Xuanjian didn’t actually cause trouble, and Li Tianming gained a reputation for pleading for Ji Xuanjing—a win-win situation.

Inside the Upside-Down Tower, Ji Xuanjing and the others faced Ji Xuanjian, gritting their teeth. Although extremely unwilling, they could only pick up their Qianfeng Rings and Sumeru Rings, scrambling away from Li Tianming’s sight…

As they walked, they hurriedly poured Origin Spirit Spring water into their bodies.

If it had been any later, perhaps no treasure could have protected their talents, so they had no time to concern themselves with the drama between the two.

At this moment, even though Ji Xuanjing was on the verge of death, he still couldn’t swallow his anger as he was about to leave.

“Li Tianming, the waters of the inner frontier are too deep for you to handle! Just wait… there will always be a time when you encounter a stronger team, right? I don’t believe you can truly be invincible at the Upside-Down Tower!” Ji Xuanjing said with a sneer.

“Fine, then this princess will wait with him and see who dares to come!” Before Li Tianming could respond, Ji Xuanjian turned around and glared fiercely at him.

“Don’t be so smug. You lost your Phoenix Fate yourself. In the future, it’s still uncertain whether your status will be higher than my sister’s!” Ji Xuanjing retorted defiantly.

“Don’t bother with your worries!” Ji Xuanjian snorted coldly, even making a move to step forward.

Although Ji Xuanjing and the others were unconvinced, they quickly left. For every step Ji Xuanjian took, they retreated a hundred steps.

This little princess has quite a reputation, and they’re genuinely afraid she might do something even more serious!

“This little princess is really fierce! She’s actually doing us a favor after taking the protection money!” Sui Shenyao was dumbfounded by her ferocity.

“Tch! She doesn’t even know how to say thank you, no manners at all. Where has she learned the elegance of a princess and the dignity of a prince?” Ji Xuanjian looked at the departing group and curled his lip in disdain.

“How dare you criticize her? A princess, less polite than us ‘country bumpkins’ from the outer regions.” Li Tianming was speechless, but also made a self-deprecating joke.

“They are them, I am me, how can we be the same?” Ji Xuanjian glared, hands on his hips.

“Alright, we’ve already wasted some time, it’s time to set off.” Li Tianming smiled and turned to head to the next destination.

So, the group packed up and set off again.

Although Li Tianming had acquired many more ancient star palaces, with only a hundred years left, he truly no longer had the conditions to continue cultivating.

So, Li Tianming simply led his “Five Good Youths” team to continue “encountering” other teams.

Xiang Qin followed behind Li Tianming, hesitating slightly before speaking.

He asked, somewhat puzzled, “Brother Tianming, with our current Imperial Points, you and the Little Princess should be guaranteed to advance to the next round, right? Is it really necessary for us to take risks?”

Li Tianming walked ahead without turning back, smiling as he said, “Can you ever complain about having too much of something like the Ancient Star Palace? The Little Princess and I are different; she doesn’t need it, but I do.”

“Same here, same here! I’m the same as you, I don’t need more either!” Ji Xuanjian’s eyes lit up, like a greedy person.

No one could tell whether she genuinely loved money or was fighting for treasures for some other reason.

However, since the strongest members of both teams said so, Wan Yao and the others had no more doubts and stopped mentioning stopping.

During this search, Sui Shenyao secretly calculated in Li Tianming’s ear:

“One team has dozens of ancient star palaces, two or three ‘fat sheep’ teams might have a hundred… At this rate, our number of ancient star palaces will surpass that of the Heavenly Emperor Sect in no time!”

“Don’t be too happy yet, after all, we’ll have to take a detour if we clash with them, which will take a lot of time, so it might not be that efficient.” Li Tianming said helplessly.

“With Yin Chen here, it’s all simple!” Sui Shenyao said casually.

Yin Chen was even more smug upon hearing this: “Hmph, Yao Yao, you really have an eye for talent.”

…

Time passed quickly.

After finishing their cultivation, Li Tianming and the others seemed to roam aimlessly through many universes of the Upside-Down Tower.

After dealing with a top-level team from the outer regions, Li Tianming clapped his hands and put thirty ancient star palaces into his Qiankun Ring.

Of course, Li Tianming didn’t forget to share some ancient star palaces with Ji Xuanjian, after all, this was the key to his fearless defeat of top teams in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.
