Zhao Letian also frowned slightly; he didn't mind the Golden Flood Dragon eating humans, as that was as normal as humans eating meat.

However, this was still the first time he witnessed his own kind being eaten, which inevitably made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"Do that kind of thing where I can't see next time; find a deserted place to handle it yourself."

Zhao Letian ordered.

"Alright, you're the boss, what you say goes. These are the storage rings of those two guys."

The Golden Flood Dragon curled his lip with an indifferent tone and spat out two storage rings, handing them over to Zhao Letian.

Zhao Letian frowned slightly, somewhat disdainfully looking at the two storage rings, but eventually, he accepted them.

"What exactly is going on here? Who is he, after all?"

Die Wu stared at the Golden Flood Dragon, her beautiful eyes filled with wariness, and she asked curiously.

The strength of the Golden Flood Dragon astonished her; it was not a power that Meng Yi could possibly possess, and even Baru may be inferior to this Golden Flood Dragon.

What shocked her even more was that such a powerful being was so obedient to Zhao Letian—it was unbelievable. Could Zhao Letian's strength be even greater than his?

"You only need to know that he's a friend, not a foe. It's getting late, let's head to the Imperial City together!"

Zhao Letian did not want to explain too much and lightly smiled.

"Who said I wanted to go with you?"

Die Wu pouted, her face showing a haughty defiance.

"What? Still holding a grudge against me? Even if I was wrong about the events in the Gray Wolf Secret Realm, I just helped you out of danger. With the good and the bad offsetting each other, we should be even, right?"

Zhao Letian shook his head and smiled, very clear about this girl's thoughts.

"How can we be even over something like that?"

Die Wu looked up at Zhao Letian, both embarrassed and angry, her beautiful eyes also flickering with a flirty charm, causing a stirring of desire.

She could never forget the sensation of Zhao Letian's hot, powerful hand sliding across her body.

"Then what do you want? If you're unwilling to go with us, you may proceed on your own."

Zhao Letian smiled helplessly and, without further ado, flew ahead with the Golden Flood Dragon.

"Jerk! Wait for me!"

Seeing Zhao Letian about to leave, Die Wu, infuriated, stamped her foot and hurriedly transformed into a stream of light, chasing after him. She felt very vexed inside, cursing that he was utterly insensitive—couldn't he just say some nice words and coax her a little? She was easy to appease, and with a little more concern from Zhao Letian, she might stop minding the past with him.

However, what she didn't know was that Zhao Letian had no interest in such matters; his heart was solely focused on the supreme path and wouldn't waste time on such trivial matters.

If it weren't for the sake of Murong Wan'er, Zhao Letian might not even have come to her rescue, let alone spend time coaxing her.

Of course, if she chose to follow Zhao Letian on her own accord, he would not mind fulfilling the duty of a brother-in-law by taking care of her a bit.

...

Time flew by.

In a blink of an eye, there was only one day left in the journey to the Imperial Secret Realm.

Now, within the entire Secret Realm, only over sixty people remained while the other hundred or so had perished for various reasons.

On this day, the surviving geniuses from each country all converged outside the Imperial City at the center of the Imperial Secret Realm.

The Imperial City, the place where Emperor Wu had once resided, could potentially contain immense opportunities and was the most coveted place for exploration.

However, the path to the Imperial City was fraught with difficulties, and no matter where the Martial Artists came from, reaching the Imperial City meant facing various trials and tribulations.

Therefore, it was only in the last three days that people began to gather one after another.

However, when they finally found the Imperial City, they discovered that there was an extremely powerful Array Formation Light Shield covering the exterior of the city, which they were powerless to breach with their own strength.

Thus, they all spent the past few days studying vigorously, putting all their efforts into researching the method to break the Array.

After a long and arduous journey, Zhao Letian and his two companions also arrived near the Imperial City.

Looking ahead, they saw a towering and majestic city exuding an ancient and weathered aura, shrouded in a colorful Array Formation Light Shield.

"Another Level 4 Array?"

Zhao Letian's eyes flashed with a green light, gazing intensely at the colorful Array Formation Light Shield, and couldn't help but frown.

This Array was a completely intact Level 4 Array, which seemed not to be an illusion.

With his current Array Formation Proficiency, the likelihood of breaking a Level 4 Array was almost nil.

"This Array, I have some recollection of it. During the ancient war, it seems to have been frequently used to resist the Demon Clan!"

The Golden Flood Dragon beside him also scrutinized the colorful Array Formation Light Shield and spoke with a grave tone.

"Oh? Do you have a way to break the Array?"

Zhao Letian's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"I do, but the question is, are you sure you really want to break this Array? Don't forget, that Demon Soul is still wandering outside; he would definitely love for you guys to break this Array for him. If you do, he'll be able to enter the Imperial City and release their Demon Lord!"

The Golden Flood Dragon nodded, speaking solemnly.

The Demon Soul had previously mentioned that within this Small World, a Demon Lord was still suppressed. If nothing unusual happened, that Demon Lord was most likely in this Imperial City.

"Even if we don't break this Array, that Demon Soul will figure out a way to do it. Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the time before we leave to explore the city a bit? We may even encounter some fortunes. As for that Demon Lord, by the time he breaks out of his seal, we may have already been teleported away."

Zhao Letian shook his head unbothered.

"You make a good point. In that case, I shall give it a try!"

The Golden Flood Dragon nodded in agreement.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Just then, a series of booming noises suddenly came from the front.

"There's a battle going on, let's go take a look!"

Feeling stirred, Zhao Letian immediately flew towards the sound with Die Wu and the Golden Flood Dragon.

Before long, the trio arrived at the edge of the Imperial City.

As they looked around, they saw the forces from the three great dynasties gathered together, divided into three groups, each occupying a different area.

And the battle noises that Zhao Letian had heard were coming from the area where the people of the Sky Dome Dynasty were located.

"Zhao Zilong!"

As soon as Zhao Letian appeared, a myriad of gazes immediately fixed on him.

Among them were Xiao Yan from the Skyfire Country, Zhou Bin from the Thunder Swamp Country, and Baru from the Gray Wolf Kingdom, among others.

Cold murderous intent flickered in their eyes, clearly eager to strike at Zhao Letian and take his life.

However, Zhao Letian did not pay any attention to them, and instead focused on the two people who were fighting.

"It's them!"

Recognizing the two, Zhao Letian couldn't help but frown.
