Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7670

Chapter 7585: The Final Encounter

Having caught up with their target, the group made no attempt to conceal their aura.

Wan Yao and the others shuddered upon hearing this, as if being watched by something incredibly terrifying, and stiffly turned their heads.

Li Tianming and Ji Xuanjian also sensed the approaching figures and turned to face them.

Li Tianming looked surprised and asked, “Who is it?”

“Ji Yinyan!”

Ji Xuanjian recognized the person, his previously cheerful expression instantly darkening, becoming somewhat grim.

Wan Yao and the others’ pupils trembled, their shock mixed with a sense of unease.

“This is Ji Xuanjing’s sister?”

“This aura… is far stronger than Ji Xuanjing’s. How did they find us?”

“Can Brother Tianming handle this?”

Even they instantly guessed the other party’s purpose; they were clearly up to no good!

Li Tianming raised his eyes to examine them.

Standing proudly before Li Tianming was a young girl dressed in a silver-white starry dress.

Her red lips were luscious, her skin fair and delicate, her phoenix eyes beautiful, her eyelashes slightly curled, and her chin slightly raised, making her resemble a proud little phoenix.

Her figure was exquisite and shapely, not exaggeratedly curvaceous, but possessing a youthful vivacity unique to young girls.

This girl also sized up Li Tianming, clearly showing some curiosity about the boy who had beaten her younger brother.

However, her gaze was more of a scrutinizing one.

Behind Ji Yinyan, there were four figures hidden in the shadows, inconspicuous and incredibly mysterious!

These people also attracted Li Tianming’s attention.

“You’re the one who made the little princess abandon her original team?” Ji Yinyan looked at Li Tianming and sneered.

“I have no right to influence the little princess’s choice, but I am indeed her teammate now. If you want to be our enemy, I can fight to the end.” Li Tianming took a step to the side, slightly shielding Ji Xuanjian behind him. “

Pfft! After defeating a few ordinary teams, you really think you’re some kind of protector of flowers?” Ji Yinyan laughed, her eyes narrowing into slits.

“Is your brother’s team considered ordinary?” Li Tianming retorted with a chuckle.

“Of course, he’s ordinary too.” Ji Yinyan’s reply surprised Li Tianming. She then sneered, “Someone like you, who isn’t even considered from the inner region, can’t possibly understand what kind of people make up the top teams of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.”

Hearing this, a hint of curiosity appeared in Li Tianming’s eyes. He sized up the four figures beside her.

It seemed that they possessed some kind of method that made them difficult to investigate. No wonder Yin Chen had searched for nine hundred years and still knew almost nothing about them.

“I truly don’t understand. You should broaden my horizons, sir. What kind of team could possibly carry you, making you look down on even your own brother, making you forget your roots?” Li Tianming sneered.

“Sharp-tongued! You think you can split my ranks with just a few words? Or are you hoping to find out some secrets?” Ji Yinyan suddenly smiled and looked at Ji Xuanjian, saying, “Speaking of which, I owe this good fortune to the little princess’s ungratefulness. I’m afraid from now on, the most outstanding daughter of the royal family may not necessarily come from the princess…”

“You green tea bitch, disgusting!” Sui Shenyao said unhappily in Li Tianming’s ear.

“If you want to fight for this title, then fight for it yourself. It’s none of our business!” Ji Xuanjing grabbed Li Tianming’s arm and stepped forward, speaking in a muffled voice.

“Good job, little princess, scold her!” Sui Shenyao was happy to watch the show, since no one else could hear his thoughts communicating with Li Tianming.

“Tsk… still trying to be calm. I want to see what hope you have left in this Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War if all your so-called backers are eliminated.” Ji Yinyan looked at Ji Xuanjian, her attitude was not polite at all.

Having replaced Ji Xuanjian, Ji Yinyan now sees the two as potentially interchangeable.

Of course, Ji Yinyan wouldn’t eliminate Ji Xuanjian; her target has always been Li Tianming.

Because of Li Tianming, even without this established team, Ji Xuanjian’s performance was still quite good.

Because of Li Tianming, Ji Xuanjing had all his treasures stolen and was left with a terrible physical condition, perhaps making it impossible for him to succeed in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle.

And if Li Tianming were eliminated, Ji Xuanjian would lose all his remaining strength.

With all four teammates eliminated, no matter how many treasures he possessed, it wouldn’t compensate for a four-fifths difference in the total score!

Therefore, Ji Yinyan’s purpose was clear: to target Li Tianming!

Since she couldn’t easily touch Ji Xuanjian, she would target her key teammate; Ji Yinyan understood this perfectly.

This way, even if Emperor Qianfeng blamed her, she would have an excuse: she eliminated this foreigner to avenge Ji Xuanjing; the royal family’s face was paramount.

Li Tianming could guess her almost obvious intentions, but he didn’t care.

He was even more curious about the identities of the four mysterious figures in the shadows, and continued to observe them discreetly.

“Who exactly are these people?” Aurora was also curious.

They were too mysterious!

Wan Yao and the others, seeing the two sides locked in a standoff, were equally curious about each other’s identities.

In their usual conversations, they had learned from Ji Xuanjian that Ji Xuanjing had an older sister.

However, they didn’t really know much about how Ji Xuanjian’s original position had been taken, and how he had lost this incredibly powerful team that could protect him in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.

But now, through the brief conversation between Ji Yinyan and Li Tianming, they had learned the general outline.

“So this is a guy who took the princess’s place and now thinks he’s stronger than her.”

“Although getting this opportunity is indeed beneficial to the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, the little princess hasn’t been eliminated yet… Nobody knows who will go further.”

“Princess and prince, only the children of the current Heavenly Emperor can be called that. If they’re unlucky and don’t get noticed by the people of the Republic of the Divine Heaven, showing their talent will only add another royal henchman to Emperor Qianfeng’s army.”

The group whispered among themselves, not daring to say it to each other’s faces.

After spending so much time with Ji Xuanjian, they had developed immense respect for this seemingly unruly little princess.

Although Wan Yao and the others couldn’t treat her as equals like Li Tianming, they had still received a lot of care from Ji Xuanjian.

They remembered this kindness.

And how could they not have objections to Ji Yinyan’s sudden appearance and her impolite words?

However, their strength was too low, and their opinions were useless. They could only turn their attention to Li Tianming.

Among the group, Xiangqin suddenly said worriedly, “Don’t say anything more. Our biggest problem now is, what will the three of us do if a fight really breaks out? Are we going to be eliminated and drag down Tianming and the little princess’s scores?”

Huangfuyu smiled somewhat reluctantly and said slowly, “We’ll just try our best to run in a bit. As long as we don’t betray Tianming and the others, they definitely won’t blame us for being eliminated!”

“That’s right, there’s nothing we can do about it.” Wan Yao also chimed in.
