Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7787

Chapter 7704: Authority!

The news quickly spread from the Qianfeng Eternal Empire to several surrounding member states.

As for the outer regions, it goes without saying that many sects remembered the Myriad Stars Emperor Sect and others, listing them as entities to be avoided!

Some outer region sects with old grudges even began preparing to bring resources to apologize and seek forgiveness from the Heavenly Emperor Sect and others!

This was the authority of a ‘first-level subordinate sect’ within a third-level member state!

A considerable amount of time passed…

Emperor Qianfeng had already departed. After all, as the ruler of a nation, he had state affairs to attend to and could not linger.

Ji Ziling, having completed the imperial decree, returned to the Lingyue Palace.

Upon her return, she smiled and said to Li Tianming and the others, “Now there should be no problem. Those who were restless before have basically received the message and will certainly not dare to act recklessly from now on.”

“Thank you for your trouble,” Li Tianming said with a slight bow.

However, at that moment, several of Li Tianming’s communication star towers lit up simultaneously.

“It’s alright, we’re all on the same side, go ahead and accept it.” Ji Qingyue glanced at it and said with a smile.

Li Tianming didn’t hesitate and directly accepted the message.

Buzz—

Soon, several somewhat familiar figures appeared in front of Li Tianming and Ji Qingyue.

Among them were Wan Yao, whom they had met not long ago, as well as Xiang Qin and Huangfu Yu, the members of the ‘Five Good Youths’.

“Brother Tianming, Senior Jiang!”

“And…the First Princess and the Little Princess?”

As soon as they saw Li Tianming and the others together, Wan Yao and the others were stunned for a moment before speaking.

In fact, they had already vaguely guessed before, and seeing this scene, they were even more convinced that the sect’s news was true!

All of this was because of Li Tianming, which made Emperor Qianfeng make this decision!

“Gentlemen, are you all well?” Li Tianming looked at everyone and said with a smile.

“Excellent! Absolutely wonderful!” Huangfu Yu exclaimed, his face beaming with excitement. “Thanks to Brother Tianming and His Majesty, those Illusion God cultivators who were originally restricting our sects have all voluntarily withdrawn!”

“I thought we were all doomed. These people from the Illusion Star Cave interfered with our communications, and we couldn’t even send out a distress call!” Xiang Qin patted her chest, relieved to have survived the ordeal. “Thankfully, the final outcome is good.”

“Luckily, I summoned Brother Tianming before they made their move, otherwise the Myriad Stars Imperial Sect would have been finished!” Wan Yao also felt a lingering fear.

“A first-level subordinate sect… how could we possibly have such good fortune? No matter how you look at it, it must have been you who intervened. We must thank Brother Tianming, the First Princess, the Second Princess, His Majesty Qianfeng… in short, we must thank you all for making us who we are today!” Huangfu Yu’s eyes gleamed.

Not long ago, they had almost faced a life-or-death crisis, nearly having their entire sects wiped out. When they first learned that they had received protection from the Qianfeng Eternal Empire, the people from the major sects seemed to still be in a dream!

Because Wanxing Emperor Sect and others were incorporated into the ‘Level One Subordinate Sects,’ Huanxing Cave, which was practically an auxiliary sect under the Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms, immediately ordered the members responsible for monitoring the major sects to leave.

“Judging by the time, the personnel Father sent to garrison should be arriving soon,” Ji Ziling said with a smile after a moment’s thought.

“Your Highness, they’ve arrived!” Wan Yao said gratefully.

“With His Majesty’s reinforcements, we’re no longer afraid of them resorting to desperate measures. You’ve done so much for our few small sects!” Huangfu Yu also said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

“Well… you should just thank your Brother Tianming directly. After all, it was he who pleaded with my father that led to this outcome,” Ji Ziling said with a slight smile.

“That’s how it was before, and it will be the same in the future. As long as Brother Tianming gives the order, if he tells us to move forward, we will never move backward; if he tells us to move left, we will never move right!” Wan Yao quickly declared.

Xiang Qin immediately added, “I’d give my life for Brother Tianming, even unto death!”

“Me too!” Huangfu Yu finally said after a long pause.

Li Tianming said somewhat helplessly, “Alright, alright, just remember it in your heart, why say such mushy things?”

Jiang Feiling, Ji Ziling, and Ji Qingyue all chuckled.

A joyful and relaxed atmosphere filled the room, something that would never happen when the major sects were under pressure.

Soon, the conversation ended, and the group bid farewell before concluding the communication.

With the Qianfeng Eternal Empire even sending special personnel to garrison the area, it effectively meant that the entire situation had temporarily come to a standstill.

The Myriad Realms Eternal Empire had no choice but to swallow this huge loss!

Li Tianming also learned from Yin Chen that

although the Illusion Star Cave and the Wusheng Thousand Illusion Sect had suffered heavy losses, they dared not reveal their ordeal.

Among them, the Illusion Star Cave, which openly attacked, provoked several sects with its own strength. It’s hard to believe they weren’t backed by a stronger force.

Yet, they were brutally defeated by unknown individuals, utterly powerless to retaliate!

Furthermore, the Thousand Illusions Sect dared not utter a sound, even though its high-ranking members had been nearly wiped out!

Regardless of the reason, their actions, originally intended to deal with a few small sects from the outer regions, resulted in such heavy losses, likely making them a laughingstock among other sects of similar strength.

Most importantly, it wasn’t just a loss of face, but a display of weakness, revealing to outsiders that the Thousand Illusions Sect was now an empty shell, which was even more dangerous!

In a sense, the Thousand Illusions Sect also achieved a kind of unification, with only members of the Ronggu Ancestor lineage remaining at the top.

They chose to endure this humiliation for now.

Because there were no other voices, their decisions were smoothly implemented throughout the sect, with no further opinions or ‘unauthorized actions’.

Wasn’t this also a kind of ‘unexpected joy’?

…

Outside the Thousand Illusions Sect.

Three terrifying figures silently approached…

Among them, the leader was an elderly man in a gray robe, his body hunched over.

His face bore the marks of time, his features deeply wrinkled, and his bulging eyes were quite striking!

Beside him was an old woman in a purple robe.

This woman leaned on a cane, her expression cold and stern, her eyes scrutinizing everything she looked at, a gaze so all-knowing it often made one uneasy.

Finally, there was a middle-aged man in a blue robe.

He was slightly stout, his appearance quite ordinary, the kind of person who would be easily lost in a crowd.

However, anyone who saw him in person would find it hard not to be intimidated by his terrifying aura; his strength was formidable!

As soon as the figures arrived at the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect, Rong Gu Zu and Qianhuan Dingtian rushed out to greet them.

“Sect Master Qianhuan Dingtian of the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect respectfully welcomes you, esteemed guests!” Qianhuan Dingtian arrived at the sect gate with great speed and spoke respectfully.

However, his words had barely left his mouth when the leading gray-robed elder frowned and received a message from the communication star tower.

After the light and shadow on the communication star tower finished speaking, the gray-robed elder’s frown deepened. He said somewhat speechlessly, “Those sects have been listed as first-level subordinate sects?”

“What?” The purple-robed old woman frowned.

“Are you sure?” the blue-robed middle-aged man asked.
