Thankfully, the Golden Flood Dragon obeys Zhao Letian.

And since Zhao Letian would not make things difficult for Master Yu and the Scorpion King, this granted them some sense of security.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …"

Just after dealing with the people from the Ghost Shadow Sect, several streaks of light flew from afar and directly descended into the courtyard.

Zhao Letian looked up and saw that it was none other than his grandfather, Zhao Dahai, along with Ye Junrou, Ye Siyu, Liu Wei, and Luo Yao!

"Letian, thank goodness, I knew you would be alright!"

Ye Junrou couldn't help but rush forward first, grabbing Zhao Letian's arms and carefully examining him.

Only when she saw that Zhao Letian was not only unharmed but had also advanced to the third level of the Sect Martial Realm did Ye Junrou finally feel relieved, her beautiful eyes revealing a color of surprise.

After the journey in the Imperial Secret Realm, Ye Junrou's feelings for Zhao Letian had undergone a qualitative change!

Previously, Ye Junrou only considered Zhao Letian a very good friend, but when Zhao Letian confronted Crown Prince Ji Pengyu publicly for her, her feelings towards Zhao Letian began to develop to a deeper level.

Unfortunately, she did not know that Zhao Letian's feelings for her had never changed; he had always treated her like an elder sister and protected her from start to finish!

"Brother Letian!"

"Young Master!"

"Young Master Letian!"

Liu Wei, Luo Yao, and Ye Siyu all smiled and greeted him.

Especially Liu Wei, who rushed forward and tightly hugged Zhao Letian's arm, her soft curves pressing against his arm, making his heart race uncontrollably.

Although they had only been apart for a few months, Liu Wei felt as though they had been through several lifetimes and reincarnations, missing Zhao Letian tremendously and no longer wanting to be apart from him!

As for Luo Yao, although she also missed Zhao Letian terribly, she was more restrained.

In her view, Liu Wei could rush to hug and act coquettishly with Zhao Letian because she was like a sister to him.

While she, Luo Yao, was just a follower!

Or to put it more bluntly, she was just a servant to Zhao Letian!

Zhao Letian had changed her fate, opened her Twin Martial Meridians for her, and she was deeply grateful for him giving her a new lease on life!

But she always felt her status was somewhat lowly, so she did not dare to get too close to Zhao Letian and always maintained a respectful attitude.

As for Princess Ye Siyu, she was even more composed.

Ye Siyu was naturally indifferent, and her emotions never fluctuated too much.

Moreover, she merely regarded Zhao Letian as a confidant and friend, beyond which she harbored no additional feelings.

"It seems that you all have improved a lot in this period we haven't seen each other!"

Zhao Letian looked at Ye Junrou and the others and said with a smile.

Now, Ye Junrou had already broken through to the Sect Martial Realm, currently at the first level of cultivation.

Liu Wei was at the True Martial Seventh Realm, her progress also significant.

As for Luo Yao, her progress was even more remarkable. After opening her Twin Martial Meridians, her cultivation speed skyrocketed, now reaching the peak of True Martial Ninth Realm, just one step away from advancing to the Sect Martial Realm!

And finally, Princess Ye Siyu was also at the peak of True Martial Ninth Realm, and her cultivation level appeared even more stable than Luo Yao's.

"Compared to you, what do our little advancements count for?"

Ye Junrou rolled her eyes at Zhao Letian and said petulantly.

In terms of age, all of them were about the same as Zhao Letian, even a bit older.

But Zhao Letian's cultivation far surpassed theirs!

If we talk about combat power, the gap between them and Zhao Letian is perhaps even larger!

Comparing themselves to Zhao Letian was a huge blow to their confidence!

Of course, upon further thought, this is actually quite normal.

After the journey through the Imperial Secret Realm, across the entire Four Symbols Domain, it is probably hard to find someone of the same rank who could compare with Zhao Letian, not even the sons and heirs of the great emperors from various dynasties; if these few could not surpass Zhao Letian, it naturally wasn't saying much.

"Ha-ha, worthy of being my grandson, Letian, I heard that during this trip to the Imperial Secret Realm, you overwhelmed talents from various countries and shocked the Four Symbols Domain, truly making this old man proud!"

At this moment, Zhao Letian's grandfather, Zhao Dahai, also came over with a hearty laugh.

On the way here, he encountered Ye Junrou and others and learned about Zhao Letian's experiences in the Imperial Secret Realm from Ye Junrou.

"Grandfather, that's just some empty fame, not worth mentioning. Most importantly, my mother will return soon, and then our family can be reunited!"

Zhao Letian replied with a light smile.

"Letian, are you sure Xin'er can come back?"

Zhao Dahai asked somewhat incredulously.

Having been lurking in the Royal Capital for a long time, he knew very well that the Song Family where the Queen resided had tremendous power; rescuing someone from their clutches was indeed too difficult!

"Don't worry, grandfather, mother will definitely come back!"

Zhao Letian said with a light smile, full of confidence.

It would be best if Ye Chenxiao could complete the transaction and bring his mother back safely and soundly; that would be good for everyone.

Otherwise, there would inevitably be a storm of blood and violence in the Royal Capital!

...

Meanwhile, at the same time, deep within a secret chamber in the Great Jin Royal Palace.

Zhao Letian's mother, Zhao Yixin, was sitting cross-legged, meditating quietly.

Although the people from the Song Family had confined her here, they were wary of the supreme existence in the palace and thus dared not to mistreat her.

Outside the secret chamber, four fierce-looking elderly women were also sitting in meditation, and from the aura they exuded, they were all evidently half-step Kings!

"Open the door, the Queen wants to see her!"

Just then, a person dressed as a palace maid came over suddenly and said sternly.

"Who are you?"

The four elderly women opened their eyes simultaneously, staring intensely at that palace maid, asking harshly with a strong wary look in their eyes.

With their level of cultivation, they didn't notice when this palace maid appeared, which was truly bizarre!

"Hehe, what do you think?"

The palace maid suddenly let out a coquettish laugh, then flickered like a ghost, circling around the four elderly women.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!…"

The next moment, the heads of those four elderly women flew into the air, blood spraying out, their eyes filled with disbelief and terror, as if they couldn't believe they could die so easily.

"Come with me, your son has come to rescue you!"

The palace maid did not pay attention to the corpses of the four elderly women, pushed open the door of the secret chamber, and looked at Zhao Yixin inside.

"A King-level Expert? My son?"

Zhao Yixin opened her eyes and stared at the palace maid, her beautiful eyes showing shock and uncertainty.
