Seeing Mu Shan fall to the ground, Cailian's brows furrowed slightly, but they soon smoothed out.
For the Baihua Tribe, this was a time when they were in need of people. Mu Shan, after all, was the tribe's bravest warrior; his death was quite a pity.
However, on the other hand, it was Mu Shan's own fault for blindly provoking Zhao Letian. His death was self-inflicted, so Cailian couldn't say much about it.
As for Mu Yuzhu, after hearing Zhao Letian's words, she felt as if she had been granted amnesty and hurriedly controlled her Spiritual Artifact to leave the market.
"Shopkeeper, bring out all your Scorpion Grass."
After picking up the items from Mu Shan's body, Zhao Letian turned to the white-haired old man and spoke.
"Very well, very well, young master's skills are extraordinary. It's truly an eye-opening experience for this old man. Here is all the Scorpion Grass in the store, over a thousand plants, all gifted to you, young master. May I ask which supreme tribe does the young master belong to?"
The white-haired elder quickly fetched all the Scorpion Grass and handed them to Zhao Letian, his face full of smiles, speaking very warmly.
In the elder's view, the talent and strength displayed by Zhao Letian were too astonishing. An ordinary tribe simply couldn't cultivate such a monstrous genius. If he wasn't guessing wrong, Zhao Letian was likely a young master sent by some supreme tribe for tempering, and even the supreme tribe backing Zhao Letian could rank well within the entire Gray Wolf Kingdom.
If he could get on Zhao Letian's good side with just some Scorpion Grass, that would be too good of a deal.
The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise; if that was the case, it explained why Zhao Letian had such formidable strength.
"Do you think I lack these few Primordial Stones? Twelve low-grade Primordial Stones per plant, and I won't shortchange you a single stone. As for which tribe I come from, you are not yet qualified to know."
Zhao Letian swept over with his Divine Thought and knew exactly how many Scorpion Grass there were. He handed them to Cailian and then took out the corresponding Primordial Stones, throwing them to the old man with an arrogant tone.
He was very clear that there is no free lunch in this world. The old man's offering of free medicinal materials was just to pry some information from him. Zhao Letian preferred to spend some Primordial Stones rather than attract unnecessary trouble, so he bluntly refused the other party, and moreover, he needed to be arrogant in his response, so that the other party would more strongly believe that he indeed was a young master from a superior tribe.
The crowd gasped in shock, utterly stunned.
The medicinal shop's old man was a High-level True Martial Realm powerhouse, yet Zhao Letian, merely a True Martial Fourth Realm individual, was so arrogant—how audacious.
"Hehe, it was my indiscretion. It's fine if the young master does not wish to disclose it. You're welcome to visit our store frequently in the future. Whatever medicinal materials the young master needs, our store can sell them to him at half price."
The white-haired elder was not angry but happy, smiling even more brightly. In his view, a young master from a superior tribe should have a temper; otherwise, it would be abnormal.
The crowd watching was at a loss for words, not expecting Zhao Letian's arrogant attitude to still receive special treatment.
But thinking about it, if they had the chance to befriend a genius from a superior tribe, perhaps they would be even more eager to please than the white-haired elder.
Zhao Letian didn't care about these people's thoughts. After obtaining the Scorpion Grass, he immediately left the market with Cailian.
He had killed many people today, and these people all had their own familial and tribal powers behind them, especially Ji Manli, who stood behind a mid-level tribe. If the powers behind them came seeking trouble, that would be problematic. Zhao Letian needed to return soon to prepare.
Not long after, Zhao Letian and Cailian returned to the Baihua Tribe.
"Zhao Zilong, you actually killed Mu Shan? Don't forget, you have taken a Heavenly Dao Oath not to harm our Baihua Tribe."
As soon as he returned, Cailian's father, Mu Lang, hurriedly approached with a dark expression and sternly questioned.
Zhao Letian gave a resigned smile, it appeared that Mu Yuzhu had already sent a message back to complain.
"Dad, it's not Zilong's fault. Mu Shan provoked him first and openly humiliated Zilong in public. His death was entirely his own doing."
Before Zhao Letian could open his mouth to explain, Cailian stepped forward to defend him.
Mu Lang furrowed his brows, questioning.
"Dad, don't you believe what your daughter says?"
Cailian gave a helpless smile.
"Of course Dad believes you, it's just that Mu Shan was after all our Baihua Tribe's bravest warrior. He was one of the tribe's major combat powers. If the Black Hawk Tribe attacks, we might still need him. His death is undeniably a huge loss for the tribe."
Mu Lang gave a bitter smile and shook his head, his eyes filled with anxiety.
The war from the Black Hawk Tribe's side was going smoother than they had anticipated. Perhaps, in the next few days, the Black Hawk Tribe would have spare forces to deal with the Baihua Tribe.
"Uncle Mu, don't worry, I've already made some preparations. Even if the Black Hawk Tribe attacks now, they won't be able to easily conquer the Baihua Tribe."
Zhao Letian smiled faintly, confidently speaking.
"Oh? Young man, what preparations have you made? This isn't something to joke about."
Mu Lang's face brightened, asking with some skepticism and belief. Th%anks@ for re$a-d*in#g.—brou!ght to you by *..
He found it hard to believe that Zhao Letian, merely a person of the True Martial Fourth Realm, could truly have a way to deal with the Black Hawk Tribe. Now, the Baihua Tribe had no other choice. If they couldn't find a way to resist the Black Hawk Tribe, they could only prepare to relocate the whole tribe. Moreover, even relocating to another place might not necessarily allow them to escape the clutches of the Black Hawk Tribe.
Contrary to him, Cailian was full of confidence in Zhao Letian, especially after the battle at the market, she firmly believed that Zhao Letian was the savior sent by the holy spirit to the Baihua Tribe.
"Uncle Mu, Cailian, look up at the sky."
Zhao Letian slightly smiled and casually released a surge of True Yuan Power, booming it into the earth beneath his feet.
The next moment, a trembling sound echoed throughout the entire Baihua Tribe, the ground under everyone's feet even shook slightly, and suddenly, a transparent light shield swirling with a light gray airflow appeared in the azure sky, enveloping the entire Baihua Tribe.
"Ahh? What's happening? Why did the sky suddenly darken?"
"Could it be that the Black Hawk Tribe has arrived?"
The people of the Baihua Tribe all sensed the activation of the array and looked up with uncertainty at the Array Formation Light Shield in the sky.
"What a powerful formation! Young man, are you actually an Array Master?"
Mu Lang stared at the light shield in the sky, clenching his fists tightly, trembling with excitement. He could sense that this formation was very powerful, and the Baihua Tribe might really be saved.
"I wouldn't claim to be a master, but unless a warrior of the Sect Martial Realm personally takes action, breaking through this Earth Evil Demon Destruction Formation won't be easy."
Zhao Letian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking very confidently.
