Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7805

Chapter 7722: Top Ten in the Inner Frontier

The highly anticipated Round of 16 battles began after all parties arrived.

At this moment, beside Inspector Han stood a man with black hair and black eyes, a slender build, and a deathly pale complexion.

His black eyes weren’t pupils, but rather the entire socket of his eyes, giving him an eerie and mysterious appearance.

This man suddenly looked at Emperor Qianfeng beside him and said meaningfully, “The Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle, such a top-tier battle of geniuses, actually allowed someone from a small sect to break in. Isn’t this a mistake in the scheduling?”

These words instantly attracted the attention of many on Fengxian Spirit Island, and they all turned their gazes to Emperor Qianfeng.

To question the scheduling in front of a high-ranking figure from the Republic of China was clearly a targeted attack on Emperor Qianfeng.

However, Emperor Qianfeng glanced at the other party calmly and said slowly, “Fellow Daoist Hunmo, the rules of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War are always revealed just before the war begins. None of the participants know them in advance, and the battlefield arrangements are random, so there are no mistakes. Furthermore, if there are any errors, the adults of the Republic of the Divine Heaven will correct them; you don’t need to bother.”

Inspectors Liu and Han noticed the small argument between the two immediately, but neither of them spoke, instead watching with great interest.

Seeing the change in atmosphere, the fanged, red-haired Yuan Chi Heavenly Emperor immediately stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, saying, “With such strict selection, how could there be any coincidences? The person you mentioned might have some strength, plus some luck, and simply didn’t encounter any top geniuses during the advancement process. Besides, maybe they were already very strong, and their apparent struggles along the way were actually a way of hiding their true abilities.”

“Yuan Heng of the Yuan Wang Sect lost, do you think that’s only natural? Didn’t you ever suspect that someone might have deliberately arranged it?” The Hunmo Heavenly Emperor sneered.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanchi was speechless. “Defeat is defeat, and I have no complaints. But you, nitpicking the rules for no reason, what are your intentions? Are you questioning the choice of the organizers for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle by the Republic Divine Heaven?”

“The officials of the Republic Divine Heaven are busy with many affairs and cannot supervise the event in person. The opinions of a top ten expert from the inner region like Fellow Daoist Hunmo are certainly important. If you cannot even listen to good suggestions, then the arrangements for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle are truly problematic.” Emperor Wanjing said meaningfully.

Inspector Liu suddenly glanced at Emperor Hunmo and said, “I seem to have some recollection. Among the participants this time, isn’t there a Hunmo clan ghost god named Gusha? Let him clash with Li Tianming, and we’ll know whether his place in the top sixteen is genuine or not.”

A faint, almost imperceptible, gloomy look flashed in Emperor Hunmo’s eyes, but he dared not show it in front of such a powerful figure as Inspector Liu.

“Lord Liu, it would be wonderful if the two could truly meet and spar. I think he would also like to experience the skills of this suddenly emerging genius. However… the Ancient Martial Immortal’s selection of participants is fair and impartial, so they probably won’t easily meet in the next eight matches,” said the Chaos Demon Emperor, glancing at the Ancient Martial Immortal beside him.

In reality, the surrounding Inner Frontier experts all knew that this Lone Demon was the Chaos Demon Emperor’s offspring!

The Inner Frontier’s personal arrangement of the participants couldn’t be made public. Even though those qualified to enter the Myriad Sects Battle Domain all had unclear relationships with the experts present, they all pretended to be completely unaware.

Inspector Han then shifted his gaze from the Myriad Sects Battle Domain to the Chaos Demon Emperor beside him.

He slowly spoke, “True gold fears no fire. If this Li Tianming is truly capable, he will naturally continue his amazing performance. Conversely, if he is easily defeated, it proves that there is indeed a problem with the competition schedule.” “

Then we must hope he doesn’t run into Gu Sha. This little genius of the Hunmo Clan is said to be famous for his clean and decisive fighting style. No one has ever lasted more than ten moves against him before; he has almost always crushed his opponents.” The Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor sneered.

“This kid doesn’t tolerate any delays. It’s a pity to be his opponent. He was originally in the top thirty-two and was still in the Martial Immortal group assessment, but because he lost so decisively and performed poorly, he was disqualified from the assessment.” The Hunmo Heavenly Emperor smiled and said.

Judging from his smile, he seemed to have a sense of pride, after all, his protégé had performed exceptionally well.

“Silence, prepare to start drawing the battle groups.” The Ancient Martial Immortal interrupted at this moment with a stern face.

Everyone on Fengxian Spirit Island immediately fell silent, waiting for the Ancient Martial Immortal to announce the start of the battles.

Under the authority of the Sword Immortal, even a top-tier expert from the inner regions like the Chaos Demon Emperor dared not act rashly.

In fact, the conversation between Inspector Liu and the others was undisguised, and the experts from the surrounding third-level star systems could hear it.

They all knew that the two inspectors seemed to be quite at odds, and the inner-region experts around them were basically divided into two camps, verbally clashing.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Ancient Martial Immortal once again arrived at the edge of Fengxian Spirit Island.

He randomly selected opponents with the gray-black sword-shaped phantom in his hand.

This time, Li Tianming was not the first to fight.

…

After some time, several fierce battles ended, but Li Tianming’s name was still nowhere to be seen.

This meant that the range of potential opponents for Li Tianming was getting smaller and smaller.

Only when the Ancient Martial Immortal looked at the gray-black sword shadow in his hand did his gaze slightly narrow, and he said, “Contestants number three and nine, step forward, enter the Myriad Sects Battle Domain, and prepare for battle.”

Number three was Li Tianming, and at this moment, his gaze turned to the side, where he could clearly see a young man with black hair and black eyes. He looked quite ordinary, but a cruel smile played on his lips.

“It’s him?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

Because of Yin Chen’s presence, Li Tianming actually had some understanding of what was happening on Fengxian Spirit Island, and naturally knew that someone was targeting him again.

This young man was naturally the offspring of the Chaos Demon Heavenly Emperor, who was using the alias Gu Sha!

There weren’t many participants left now, and while Ji Ziling was waiting with Li Tianming, she had actually explained the basic details of the participants to him. This was exclusive information belonging to the Qianfeng royal family, and even Yin Chen wouldn’t dare to claim that he could find out such details.

“This Gu Sha is not only one of the offspring of the Hunmo Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of the strongest Ghost God Dynasty in the Inner Frontier, but also the young crown prince of the Hunmo First Empire. His talent and strength are on a completely different level from the other Heavenly Emperors’ offspring. He is a formidable opponent. Be careful later,” Ji Ziling instructed Li Tianming before he went on stage.

“Understood, Princess. I will be careful,” Li Tianming nodded, giving her a reassuring look.

When the names of Li Tianming and Gu Sha were called out at the same time, the crowds around the Myriad Sects Battle Domain were in an uproar.

“The battle to advance from the top sixteen to the top eight, and Li Tianming has actually encountered this opponent?”

“This Gu Sha is no pushover. In the first and second rounds of selection, he tortured his opponents until they begged for mercy before considering letting them go. He is extremely cold-blooded and cruel!”
