Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7671

Chapter 7586: The Mysterious Man’s Identity!

Meanwhile, the already much-anticipated “Five Good Youths” team attracted even more attention due to Ji Yinyan’s appearance.

Throughout the entire Fengxu, people looking up at the image were buzzing with discussion.

“I didn’t expect the little princess and her group to first encounter the son of Prince Yuan, and now they’re encountering the daughter of Prince Yuan…”

“Are these two royal families at odds?”

“But what are the backgrounds of Princess Yinyan’s teammates? Why are they so mysterious, not even showing their faces?”

Seeing these four dark figures, many people were extremely curious.

After all, even third-tier star system member states like the Eternal Empire of Zhiwang had to reveal their true appearance when secretly arranging to participate in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, yet these people dared to conceal their identities.

This situation was very rare in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, but the two royal family members present, Ji Xuanjian and Ji Yinyan, didn’t seem to find it strange.

They seemed to know something that most people didn’t, which allowed them to remain so calm.

This scene made things even more intriguing, prompting people to speculate.

At the same time, many people were also inquiring about the team’s previous performance.

“Has anyone been paying attention to Princess Yinyan’s team? Does anyone know who these people are?”

The question was met with enthusiastic responses on the street.

“I’ve been watching Princess Yinyan’s images, but her teammates basically don’t participate. Even when there are opponents, it’s Princess Yinyan who makes the move, while the others stand by and watch… It seems they don’t care who gets eliminated!”

“That’s strange. If they were hired help, why would Princess Yinyan handle it herself?” someone asked, puzzled.

“Not only that, these four haven’t gained any imperial points or treasures in the past nine hundred years; they’ve just quietly followed Princess Yinyan.” The person observing Ji Yinyan’s team added.

This situation was even more perplexing.

Meanwhile, within the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, discussions were rife, with countless people from the outer regions watching Li Tianming and his group.

Strangely, despite the presence of countless elders in this vast Battle Hall of Ten Thousand Sects, none of them seemed to know anything about the identities of Ji Yinyan’s four teammates.

Even some of the elders, with extensive experience leading many generations of disciples in the battle, were almost completely unaware of the situation.

Feng Yue Youwei, standing beside Qian Huan Lingyi, asked curiously, “Sister Lingyi, do you know anything about the backgrounds of these people?”

“I don’t know.” Qian Huan Lingyi slowly shook her head.

“Even you don’t know?” Feng Yue Youwei’s lips parted slightly in surprise.

“Yes.” Qian Huan Lingyi nodded slightly, then looked at Xuan Tianque beside her, her tone respectful, “Inspector, do you know their backgrounds?”

Although she hated Li Tianming and the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect to the core, she wouldn’t hold a grudge against the Inspector, otherwise she would only be asking for trouble.

She understood this very well.

However, Xuan Tianque frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, saying, “I’ve never heard of such a group of people, let alone seen anyone appear like this in the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial War. Perhaps, this is all His Majesty’s special arrangement…”

This scene could only be explained in this way; otherwise, it would be hard to explain Ji Yinyan’s situation—being surrounded by people yet having to act alone when things went wrong.

Even Xuan Tianque didn’t understand, so the others in the Ten Thousand Sects War Hall were even more confused.

Some were secretly speculating whether Li Tianming was stronger or Ji Yinyan was stronger; the two were clearly bound to clash.

Li Dixiao and the others were somewhat worried.

“I wonder how strong this opponent is. Can Tianming defeat her…” Li Zhaotang said with some concern.

Li Dixiao sighed slightly, “There’s no other way. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. With the little princess here, the two of them might be able to put up a fight. If it really doesn’t work, we might just end up with nothing and give all the treasures to the other side.”

This wasn’t because Li Dixiao was overly pessimistic, but because he had learned from Xuan Tianque that Ji Yinyan was no ordinary person.

To be able to replace Ji Xuanjian, she was naturally no ordinary person; at least stronger than most members of the royal family of the same age.

“Indeed, it’s better to save those treasures and waste time. That way, if we encounter a stronger opponent and get eliminated, we won’t gain anything!” Li Xuanyin sneered.

Li Xuanyin clearly disapproved of Li Tianming’s behavior of cultivating for nine hundred years and then spending the last hundred years benefiting others.

Meanwhile, inside the Upside-Down Tower,

the star field they were in was vast, with almost no ruins obstructing their view, a desolate, cold white starry sky.

Ji Yinyan, dressed in a silver-white starry dress, her slender figure shone brightly under the starry sky, her eyes cold and stern.

She stood opposite Li Tianming, taking out her Dao treasure from her Sumeru Ring.

It was a nine-sectioned golden bamboo branch, roughly the length of a person, straight and evenly proportioned, each section evenly spaced, its entire body golden and lustrous, with a slightly heavy texture.

Judging from their appearance, these are definitely not ordinary items; the other party wouldn’t necessarily bring them out unless it was absolutely necessary.

The atmosphere between the two seemed tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.

Li Tianming smiled faintly, drawing his Eastern Emperor Sword and staring at the other party’s cold, arrogant gaze, feeling no fear.

At this moment, Ji Xuanjian whispered information about the other party’s background to Li Tianming.

She seemed to have guessed how the other party had approached her team and didn’t want Li Tianming to be completely unaware and suffer losses in the fight.

“Be careful, this guy is quite strong, and she even has this top-tier evolved Dao treasure, the ‘Nine-Section Golden Bamboo,’ which ‘that’ old man specially rewarded her for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War!” Ji Xuanjian whispered.

Seeing that their relationship wasn’t exactly good, Li Tianming was somewhat surprised that Ji Xuanjian could still acknowledge the other party’s strength.

After all, gaining the opponent’s recognition was a true reflection of one’s own strength.

Therefore, Li Tianming became even more serious, his eyes burning as he looked at his opponent.

However, despite the tense situation, Ji Yinyan didn’t rush to attack.

She immediately turned around and looked at the four mysterious figures behind her.

These people had somehow concealed themselves, their entire bodies hidden in shadow.

A mist shrouded the area beyond this shadow, making it impossible for outsiders to see anything beyond their physical forms.

Even Li Tianming couldn’t help but admire the skill with which they had concealed themselves.
