Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7783

Chapter 7700: A Cry for Help

If any of the people of Fengxu, or even the higher-ups within Fengxu, saw Li Tianming on the streets of Fengxu, it would serve as proof of his alibi. This was, in fact, Li Tianming’s ultimate goal!

He wanted more than just to leave no trace within the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect; he wanted to eliminate any possibility of suspicion altogether.

In this way, Li Tianming could completely cover up his trip to the Qianhuan Sect and insist that what happened there had nothing to do with him. Moreover

, under the cover of the Dark Universe, no one could see Li Tianming and Weisheng Moran make a move. In everyone’s eyes, Li Tianming only had a wife several light-years away by his side and was completely incapable of taking action against the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect.

As for the sect leader of the Wanxing Emperor Sect and the other members of the Wanxing Emperor Sect, they had not witnessed Li Tianming’s actions and were completely unaware that he had taken down several powerful figures from the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect.

As soon as he returned to his residence within Fengxu, Li Tianming took out his communication star tower.

After a slight hesitation, remembering Ji Qingyue’s unreliable nature, he silently put away Ji Qingyue’s communication star tower and only took out Ji Ziling’s, placing it before him.

Li Tianming then pointed the communication star tower at the scene behind him.

In this way, the other party could immediately see that Li Tianming was in the Ten Thousand Sects Battle Hall.

Buzz—

Soon, a stunningly beautiful woman in purple appeared on the communication star tower.

She had phoenix eyes that were both powerful and alluring, long and slender eyebrows, and skin as white as jade. Her purple palace dress seemed to ignite with flames out of thin air, an effect produced by her power and the special palace dress.

This was one of the faces of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire, Princess Ziling!

“Princess.” Li Tianming bowed to her, slightly bending down.

“Tianming?” Ji Ziling was slightly surprised, and then said, “Now is the time to prepare for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, why do you have time to come and find me?”

At this moment, Ji Qingyue’s face also came close to the side of the communication star tower. It turned out that the two sisters were together.

“Brother Tianming, what’s wrong? You don’t seem to be in good spirits. Did something go wrong with your cultivation?” Ji Qingyue said with a grin. “Don’t look so gloomy if nothing’s wrong. Learn from me, I’m carefree and always smiling!”

Li Tianming didn’t speak immediately, but instead frowned even more deeply, shaking his head as if a cloud of worry lingered between his brows.

“Wow! You weren’t pretending too much, and then someone outside didn’t like it and beat you up, were you?” Ji Qingyue’s eyes widened in surprise.

Li Tianming, who had been pretending to be profound and had prepared his words, almost broke character upon hearing this.

“When did I pretend? I’m a kind-hearted person.” Li Tianming said somewhat irritably.

“Xiaoyue, you can’t be so rude!” Ji Ziling scolded, pressing her down. Then she apologized to Li Tianming, “This child is too wild. Don’t take it to heart. If you have any difficulties, just say so. We’ll try our best to help you.”

Li Tianming then seemed somewhat embarrassed and said, “Princess, and Princess, I came here today because I really had no other choice. Someone has gone too far!”

“You really got beaten up?” Ji Qingyue’s eyes widened slightly as she asked.

Ji Ziling turned and glared at Ji Qingyue, who then made a gesture as if she were tying her mouth shut, indicating that she would not interrupt.

“Here’s what happened. After finishing this round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, I was planning to return to my own sect to cultivate. But who could have predicted that as soon as I got back, I received a distress call from the Ten Thousand Stars Emperor Sect? The Illusion Star Cave, because of their defeat in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, actually wants to take their anger out on the Ten Thousand Stars Emperor Sect and other related sects!” Li Tianming said indignantly. “Their actions are completely unbecoming of a true man; they’re trying to drive all of us other sects to the brink of destruction!”

“What? They’re so audacious?” Ji Ziling asked, somewhat surprised. Ji

Qingyue, however, felt indignant and rolled up her sleeves, saying, “Not to mention the risk of being besieged by multiple sects at the same time, with me here, how dare they act so quickly and directly?”

“I don’t know either. Perhaps… there’s an even more powerful force behind them, pushing all of this forward!” Li Tianming seemed somewhat worried.

“What happened afterward? Were any sects breached?” Ji Qingyue asked, slightly concerned.

Although her status was vastly different from the members of the “Five Good Youths” team, they still had some connection, so it was impossible for her to remain completely unmoved.

Li Tianming sighed slightly, “I sent people from my sect, including my wife and I, to provide support the moment I received the distress call. We barely managed to hold off the Myriad Stars Imperial Gate.”

“Phew—it’s good that we held them off. As long as they’re alive, there’s still hope.” Ji Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

“However, I gleaned a few words from them, and it seems that the Thousand Illusions Sect of No Life really is behind them!” Li Tianming’s eyes were filled with sorrow as he continued, “Right now, we’ve only withstood the first wave of attacks. We might face even stronger enemies later, and with the strength of our few small sects, we simply can’t withstand them!”

“Most importantly, you might have already become a thorn in their side. They might even target the Heavenly Emperor Sect or even you personally!” Ji Qingyue realized the crux of the problem.

She was quite impulsive, but as a princess, she was undoubtedly exceptionally intelligent.

Ji Ziling seemed thoughtful, having grasped the general idea, and then looked at the white-haired youth before her.

“How do you want us to help you?” Ji Ziling asked slowly.

She was a clever woman, and instantly understood Li Tianming’s request.

Li Tianming straightened his posture and then bowed solemnly.

“Your Highness, I am merely a member of an outer sect, and I cannot bear the impact of such a war. Let alone the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect, perhaps behind it lies the Wanjing Eternal Empire.” Li Tianming paused, then continued, “What I need is protection. I seek the protection of His Majesty Qianfeng; otherwise, I fear I will not be worthy of this Martial Immortal Group qualification!”

Li Tianming’s current choice would not immediately exhaust his favors.

He did not directly ask Emperor Qianfeng to send troops to help him attack other forces, but rather sought self-preservation.

These two were worlds apart; the former would have forced the Qianfeng Eternal Empire to do unjust things, while the latter was justified, and Li Tianming was proactively offering a favor.

While seemingly pleading for help, this was actually giving the Qianfeng Eternal Empire a choice: whether to aid a promising candidate for the Martial Immortal group assessment or to stand idly by and allow a genius like Li Tianming to have his living space squeezed.

The real decision lay with the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor Sect!

Li Tianming, however, didn’t seem too worried about the other party’s refusal.

Seeing Ji Ziling’s silence, Li Tianming continued, “I only have my wife by my side. Even if we encounter danger, at most we’ll go to the Yellow Springs together. My only concern is the Heavenly Emperor Sect, which nurtured my growth. Therefore, even if they bully me to the extreme, I will never back down. If the Grand Princess and His Majesty Qianfeng feel troubled, I can deal with them myself; at worst, I’ll fight them to the death!”

“Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about, dying or something?” Ji Qingyue frowned, then said, “Don’t be hasty, let my sister think about what to do next first.”

She then looked at the beautiful woman in purple palace attire beside her.

Ji Ziling was deeply frowning, seemingly pondering something hidden beneath the surface…
