When Zhao Letian and his group emerged, some martial artists were still desperately climbing the Heavenly Path, hoping to pass Emperor Wu's test and ascend to the Supreme Heaven, thereby proving their innate talents.
Seeing Zhao Letian and his group suddenly rush out, those people were all dumbfounded.
Immediately after, even before they could understand what was happening, Zhao Letian didn't say another word and directly slew them all!
Although these people had no direct grievances with Zhao Letian, from the moment they entered the Imperial Secret Realm, they had all become Zhao Letian's competitors. If given the chance, they would not hesitate to kill Zhao Letian and snatch the treasures on him. Similarly, Zhao Letian would not miss any opportunity against them!
Zhao Letian's ruthless decisiveness met with no objections from the Golden Flood Dragon trio.
They were also very clear that in the Imperial Secret Realm, the relationships between all martial artists were almost entirely competitive, constantly battling for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures - this was quite normal and nothing inappropriate.
Like their group, alliances formed because of special relationships were very rare.
Especially the Golden Flood Dragon, not only did he have no objections, but he also greatly admired Zhao Letian's actions, because he knew well that true powerhouses are built step-by-step upon countless enemies' remains!
As long as one does not betray their own heart, even if it means devastating cities and becoming a bane of the world, one can still reach the pinnacle of the martial path!
In short, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak; the fury of the powerful causes rivers of blood and heaps of corpses, and the weak are merely meat on the chopping board, helpless against slaughter!
After collecting those people's storage rings, Zhao Letian and others did not leave immediately but stayed outside the Heavenly Path!
Ji Pengyu and his group were just behind them, and moreover, they no longer had the Martial Emperor Power!
For Zhao Letian, this was a perfect opportunity to eradicate Ji Pengyu and his group, one he did not want to miss!
"Boy, is this too risky? After all, the Demon Clan is still following behind Ji Pengyu and his people!"
The Golden Flood Dragon, who had devoured the Divine Souls of those martial artists and collected their bodies, stared at the end of the Heavenly Path and asked worriedly.
"Indeed, it's better to prioritize escaping now. The Demon Clan will handle Ji Pengyu and his group; perhaps we don't need to make a move ourselves!"
Ye Chenxiao also seemed quite worried as he anxiously spoke.
"No! We must kill Ji Pengyu and his group; otherwise, once they exit and tell everything to the Floating Cloud Monarch and others, we will be in danger!"
Zhao Letian shook his head firmly.
He had not forgotten that three Monarch Level Experts were waiting for them outside.
If Ji Pengyu and his group were allowed to leave alive, they would likely not escape death!
"That's true, Monarch Level Experts are indeed hard to deal with. With my current strength, even if we left this Small World, it is unlikely I could protect you against Monarch Level Experts. To be precautionary, taking some risks is worth it!"
Golden Flood Dragon nodded.
Having devoured so many martial artists' Divine Souls and flesh, his strength had actually already surpassed the True Martial Realm; it was only suppressed by the Power of Laws in this world, confined to using the cultivation of the True Martial Realm. Once they left this Small World, his power would surge immediately!
"May I ask the venerable one, who exactly are you? Why do I sense a very familiar aura on you?"
Ye Chenxiao gazed intently, curiously asking.
Speaking of which, he had long wanted to know who exactly now occupied Meng Yi's body, but he had not had the chance to ask before due to urgent situations. Moreover, he feared that asking rashly might offend the Golden Flood Dragon, thus he never spoke up.
But now, that familiar feeling was growing stronger, and he simply couldn't hold back anymore. Regardless of whether he would get an answer, he had to ask!
"Do you feel it too? I have that feeling as well. Venerable one, who are you exactly?"
Ye Junrou looked at Ye Chenxiao with some surprise, then gazed solemnly at Golden Flood Dragon and earnestly asked.
"Heh heh, you should ask this young man about that question!"
The Golden Flood Dragon smiled mysterously and glanced at Zhao Letian.
He was now a servant to Zhao Letian, and whether he could reveal his identity to outsiders depended on Zhao Letian's wishes.
"I can only tell you that his relationship with the Ye Family ancestor is extraordinary. As for the rest, don't ask; I will tell you when it's time to know!"
Zhao Letian said indifferently with a casual smile.
"Ye Family ancestor?"
Ye Chenxiao and Ye Junrou looked at each other, their faces filled with incredulous shock.
The Ye Family ancestor was, at the very least, an ancient existence from tens of thousands of years ago. If the Golden Flood Dragon truly had a connection with the Ye Family ancestor, then he must be a bona fide old monster!
"Correct, my relationship with your Ye Family ancestor is indeed not ordinary. It wouldn't be an exaggeration even if you addressed me as ancestor!"
The Golden Flood Dragon spoke arrogantly.
His feelings towards the Ye Family were very complex.
Logic would dictate that, back in the day, when the Ye Family ancestor took advantage of his weakened state to kill him and used his Divine Soul and bloodline to create the Golden Flood Dragon Martial Soul and Flood Dragon bloodline possessed by the Ye Family members today, he should deeply despise the Ye Family.
However, on second thought, the people of the Ye Family carry his bloodline and inherited his Divine Soul; they could be considered his descendants, which made it hard for him to continue harboring hate.
Of course, if that Ye Family ancestor were still alive, he would definitely flay and dismember him!
Ye Chenxiao and Ye Junrou furrowed their brows slightly, glanced at the Golden Flood Dragon, and looked disdainful.
In their hearts, the Ye Family ancestor was an immensely tremendous and noble being, far superior to the Golden Flood Dragon who occupied Meng Yi's body. They simply could not bring themselves to regard the Golden Flood Dragon as their ancestor.
"Hmph! If you don't want to address me as such, I don't care!"
The Golden Flood Dragon said disdainfully.
The Flood Dragon Clan was naturally proud. In his view, it was an honor for the Ye Family members to have him as an ancestor. Yet Ye Junrou and Ye Chenxiao seemed ungrateful, so they were unworthy of this honor! Chapters fırst released on novel_fіre.net
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! …"
Just then, a series of swift sounds of breaking air approached.
Zhao Letian and the others looked up and saw Ji Pengyu and his group flying out from the Supreme Heaven.
Seeing Zhao Letian and others standing below, Ji Pengyu and his group all frowned, instantly sensing a bad premonition.
Just then, Zhao Letian shouted sternly, directly wielding his brush to slash out an Invincible Sword Light at Ji Pengyu and his group.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Almost simultaneously, the Golden Flood Dragon and his two companions also launched their attacks toward Ji Pengyu and his group!
