This time out, the Golden Flood Dragon devoured numerous Martial Artists, recovering a great deal of its strength!

Now, even if faced with a Monarch Level Peak Expert, it has the power to fight.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Zhao Letian asked.

"Yes! Don't worry, not a single one was left, all were killed, and their belongings are all here. There's a lot of good stuff inside, valuable enough to tempt a Monarch Level Expert!"

The Golden Flood Dragon grinned, nodded, and passed over a large handful of storage rings.

"That's good!"

Zhao Letian accepted the storage rings, his tone indifferent.

Not long after the Golden Flood Dragon returned, Commandery Princess Ye Junrou also came back.

"How is it? The Princess is alright, right?"

Zhao Letian asked concernedly.

"She's gone!"

Ye Junrou's eyebrows slightly furrowed, she said with a heavy voice.

"Gone? Where to?"

Zhao Letian was slightly startled, asking with some surprise.

"I don't know! But don't worry, the Monarch definitely won't let anything happen to her; there must be a strong warrior secretly protecting her!"

Ye Junrou shook her head.

Hearing this, a bitter smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of Zhao Letian's mouth.

Both children of the Monarch, that man was so good to Princess Ye Siyu, yet he completely ignored them, mother and son. He really didn't understand why; was it because they, mother and son, were fated to be unlucky?

"Letian, let's go. I don't want to stay here any longer!"

Zhao Yixin suddenly said.

This visit to the Royal Palace had completely disheartened her, and she no longer wanted to stay in this sad place.

"Alright, mother, let's go. But before we return to Qingzhou City, I want to stop by War King City first to take care of some matters!"

Zhao Letian nodded.

There were still some unresolved grudges in War King City; it was time to settle them!

"Yes, that's fine!"

Zhao Yixin nodded her head.

"Commandery Princess, let's go together!"

Zhao Letian looked at Ye Junrou.

"Still calling me Commandery Princess? You should call me sister, cousin!"

Ye Junrou gave Zhao Letian a sidelong glance, a trace of resentment in her beautiful eyes.

Originally, she had some special feelings for Zhao Letian, but now after learning of Zhao Letian's true identity, she had to forcefully give up those special feelings!

"Let's still go with Commandery Princess, it's what I'm used to!"

Zhao Letian shook his head and smiled.

"Fine, have it your way!"

Ye Junrou shook her head and did not continue to argue.

Then, the group boarded the Flying Boat, steered by the Golden Flood Dragon, and swiftly flew towards War King City.

...

The Golden Flood Dragon was very fast, taking less than a day for everyone to arrive at War King City, and directly descended to where the Five Tigers of the Star Sea were located.

Unexpectedly, the once remote alley that housed the family of the Five Tigers of Xinghai had turned into a bustling street!

And the home of the Xinghai Five Tigers was located in the most prosperous section of this very street!

Looking around, their house's doorway still bore the sign of the Five Tigers Blacksmith Shop, which was inconspicuous and even somewhat dilapidated.

Nevertheless, there was a long queue of people waiting to purchase Spiritual Artifacts forged by the Xinghai Five Tigers!

Apparently, during this period, with the help of the substantial cultivation resources and Artifact Refining Books left by Zhao Letian, not only had the Xinghai Five Tigers advanced to the Middle Stage True Martial Realm, but they'd also all become high-level first-grade Artifact Refiners, capable of crafting low-grade Spiritual Artifacts of seven and eight stars!

And when the five worked together, they could even produce nine-star low-grade Spiritual Artifacts!

Most importantly, the Spiritual Artifacts crafted by the Xinghai Five Tigers were not only of excellent quality but also very affordable compared to the exorbitant prices charged by unscrupulous merchants outside, making them highly popular with the low-rank Martial Artists in the city!

This was why, almost every day, one could see a multitude of low-rank Martial Artists queuing at their house to buy Spiritual Artifacts, with no concern for the long wait!

"No more! No more! Come back tomorrow, we're fully booked, and even if we worked to death, we wouldn't be able to forge any more artifacts today!"

Zhao Letian and others had not been there long when they heard the voice of Big Tiger from within the yard.

"Kid, you are quite a thick-headed follower; demand is outstripping supply and yet you don't think to seize the opportunity to raise the prices a bit. Not only would that be less exhausting, but you could also earn more Primordial Stones. Why wouldn't you? You're a real fool!"

Golden Flood Dragon shook his head with a smile.

"I like such fools; someone too clever could never become my follower!"

Zhao Letian replied indifferently with a smile, not taking offense.

He knew that the Xinghai Five Tigers were not foolish, just honest and loyal to a fault!

"Move aside! Move aside! It's just some low-grade Spiritual Artifacts, is there a need for such a long queue? Haven't you seen Wang's Shop next door? They have all types of Spiritual Artifacts, why must you line up here?"

Just then, a group of Martial Artists, all dressed in white robes, swaggered through the crowd, acting arrogantly and domineeringly.

"It's people from the Wang family, we can't afford to provoke them, let's hurry away!"

Upon seeing the approaching group, the queueing crowd, angry yet daring not to speak out, quickly dispersed.

The Wang family was a major power in War King City, second only to the three super families, not something ordinary Martial Artists could afford to provoke!

They had probably come today to make a move on the Five Tigers Blacksmith Shop!

Everyone knew that since the business of Five Tigers Blacksmith Shop increased, the business of the Wang family's shops had been getting worse and worse!

The people of the Wang family had long set their sights on the Five Tigers Blacksmith Shop!

They had sent people multiple times to approach the Xinghai Five Tigers, attempting to buy the blacksmith shop and hire the five brothers as Artifact Refiners!

However, the Xinghai Five Tigers had not agreed!

As a result, harboring resentment, the people from the Wang family had long been looking for an opportunity to deal with the Xinghai Five Tigers!

And today, it seemed like the people from the Wang family were finally determined to take action against the Xinghai Five Tigers!

"Xinghai Five Tigers, I'm asking you once more, will you sell the Five Tigers Blacksmith Shop or not?"

The leading figure from the Wang family asked coldly.

"Get lost! How many times do I have to tell you, if we said not for sale, then it's not for sale. What are you still doing here?"

Big Tiger and the others came out, holding blacksmith hammers used in Artifact Refining, bare-chested with their muscular upper bodies, coldly staring at the people from the Wang family and sternly rebuked them.

Even though they were not as strong as the people from the Wang family, they did not believe that they would dare to ignore the rules of the city and openly attack them!

"Fine, since you refuse to accept the face given, then go to your deaths!"

The leading figure from the Wang family's eyes showed a cold murderous intent, and as he spoke, he drew a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact long knife, ready to strike at the Xinghai Five Tigers!

"Hiss!"

However, at that moment, a Sword Qi suddenly shot out from behind, directly beheading him!

"Young Master!"

The Xinghai Five Tigers were shocked, their gaze fixated, and immediately revealed a look of surprise, as the one who had acted was none other than their leader, Zhao Letian!
