Those Sect Martial Realm powerhouses were not only formidable in cultivation but also emitted a terrifying murderous aura from their entire beings.

Clearly, their hands were stained with copious amounts of blood.

Even the geniuses from various nations, who were worldly people, couldn't help but be secretly alarmed when faced with the overwhelming murderous aura.

Their disturbance caused those who initially planned to attack Zhao Letian to immediately dismiss the idea.

Because they were uncertain whether the people from Four-direction Inn would allow them to act here.

At the same time, just as Zhao Letian was about to summon puppets and spiritual beasts to fight those people, he also restrained the murderous intent in his heart.

Those people wanted to kill Zhao Letian, and Zhao Letian equally wanted to find an opportunity to kill these adversaries; the Dark Demon Domain indeed was a good place to strike.

Had the people from Four-direction Inn not suddenly arrived, he would likely have engaged in a serious contest with those adversaries.

"Lead the way."

At this moment, in front of the people from Dajin Country, a tall and broad young man dressed in a golden robe with a cold and domineering face, seemingly unaffected by the murderous aura of the Sect Martial Realm powerhouses, said in an emotionless deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone looked toward the young man in the golden robe, their eyes filled with deep wariness.

Even Baru, the Golden Giant from Gray Wolf Kingdom, Di Rong, the dark-skinned young man from Skyfire Country, and Zhou Bin, the elegant young master from Thunder Swamp Country, were quite wary of the golden robed young man.

"Ye Zhenxiao!" Sample from My Virtual Library Empire—read more on M&VLEMPY&R.

Zhao Letian also focused his gaze on the golden-robed young man.

This golden-robed young man was none other than the Crown Prince of Dajin Country, who had sent assassins from Ghost Shadow Sect to kill Zhao Letian multiple times.

Among those gazes that were locked on Zhao Letian earlier, the strongest murderous intentions were neither from Wanyan Zheng of Gray Wolf Kingdom, nor Xu Ye of Skyfire Country, nor Zhou Bin from Thunder Swamp Country, but precisely from Ye Zhenxiao, the Crown Prince of Dajin Country, Zhao Letian's half-brother.

However, after the arrival of the people from Four-directions Inn, Ye Zhenxiao temporarily restrained his murderous intentions towards Zhao Letian.

Although he had always been very dominant and autocratic in Dajin Country, declaring unequivocally, he had to keep a low profile in this Dark Demon Domain.

At the same time, the people from Four-direction Inn, seeing Ye Zhenxiao unaffected by their murderous aura, couldn't help but change their expressions, deeply observing Ye Zhenxiao.

Having such courage showed that Ye Zhenxiao was definitely not an ordinary person; he was truly a dragon amongst men.

Then, under the lead of the people from Four-direction Inn, everyone found their respective rooms.

Each accommodation had many rooms, which were capable of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, cultivating demon beasts, and even growing Spiritual Grass and Medicine. The facilities were extremely complete, and they were also protected by powerful Arrays.

"Chirp! Chirp!..."

As Zhao Letian just entered the room, intending to contact Master Yu through the Communication Jade Scroll, a series of urgent sounds suddenly came from the Spiritual Beast Bag on his body.

"Is the Fiery Flame Mantis about to advance?"

Zhao Letian sensed something, and his eyes immediately showed a look of surprise.

Due to the master-servant contract, he had a mental connection with the Fiery Flame Mantis and immediately understood that it was a cry for help from the Fiery Flame Mantis.

Originally, the Fiery Flame Mantis, at True Martial First Realm, needed decades or even hundreds of years of hard cultivation to advance to Sect Martial Realm, a feat not ordinarily achievable.

However, Zhao Letian's Fiery Flame Mantis had been fed a large amount of elixirs that enhance cultivation without regard to cost. Consequently, within just one year, its cultivation had skyrocketed directly from True Martial First Realm to the peak of True Martial Ninth Rank.

Until this moment, the Fiery Flame Mantis was finally going to advance again, breaking through to the Sect Martial Realm.

However, as a mutated demon beast, the Fiery Flame Mantis needed to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to the Sect Martial Realm.

Yet, within the Four-direction Inn, there was a powerful Array that isolated the Fiery Flame Mantis from sensing the Heavenly Tribulation. Consequently, the tribulation could not descend, and it could not break through to the Sect Martial Realm smoothly.

"It seems I have to take a risk and go out."

Zhao Letian frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

He also knew that the Dark Demon Domain was very dangerous, and naturally, he would not venture out unless necessary.

However, the breakthrough of the Fiery Flame Mantis was urgent. If he missed this optimal timing, it would become very difficult for it to break through to the Sect Martial Realm in the future.

Thus, he had to leave the Four-direction Inn as soon as possible to find a place for the Fiery Flame Mantis to break through.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Letian first took out a Communication Jade Scroll to notify Master Yu to come and meet up. Then, he used the Disguise Technique and transformed into a fierce and burly man, hastily leaving the Four Directions Pavilion.

...

Outside of the Four-direction Inn was a bustling street, with pedestrians dressed bizarrely, none of whom looked like ordinary people.

However, they had one thing in common: they all seemed incredibly fierce. If a timid person saw them, they would not dare to approach.

Zhao Letian was still relatively fine; he was not a coward, and the blood on his hands was not less than any ordinary person's.

Moreover, his fierce appearance now did not yield to anyone else on the street, and even seemed more ferocious.

As such, he did not feel uncomfortable walking on the street.

Others, seeing Zhao Letian's fierce appearance, also did not dare to trouble him lightly.

Especially since Zhao Letian also used the Concealing Breath Technique to hide his true cultivation, making it harder for others to act rashly as they could not see through his cultivation.

Before long, Zhao Letian had moved far away from the bustling area to a secluded and desolate mountain. He then released the Fiery Flame Mantis from the Spiritual Beast Bag.

"Squeak!"

As soon as the Fiery Flame Mantis came out, it let out an excited shriek and, with its flaming wings fluttering, flew spirally into the sky.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a gigantic vortex hundreds of meters in diameter suddenly appeared in the dense black clouds high in the sky, where thick bolts of lightning flickered.

"There are three waves of the Heavenly Tribulation; let's see if you can withstand them."

Zhao Letian stared at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky, thinking silently.

He could help the Fiery Flame Mantis to quickly enhance its cultivation, but he could not assist it in crossing the Heavenly Tribulation.

This was something the Fiery Flame Mantis had to do on its own. If it could survive the three waves of the Heavenly Tribulation without dying, the Fiery Flame Mantis would undergo a transformation and ascend to the Sect Martial Realm as a demon beast; otherwise, it would perish and vanish into ash and smoke.

"Eh? Demon Clan Tribulation Cloud? Could it be that someone's Spiritual Beast is about to ascend to the Sect Martial Realm?"

"This person's Spiritual Beast has not yet ascended to the Sect Martial Realm; it seems his cultivation isn't very high. Let's go and have a look; perhaps we could make a small fortune."

Just then, what Zhao Letian didn't know was that, not far from him in the sky, two Sect Martial Realm powerhouses happened to spot the Tribulation Clouds and a gleam of greed flashed in their eyes.
