Regarding Ye Zhenxiao's actions, nobody had any objections.
Because, when it came to leaders among the geniuses of the Four Great Kingdoms, Ye Zhenxiao was undoubtedly the prime candidate.
After all, even Baru and others were quite wary of Ye Zhenxiao.
As for these empty titles, Zhao Letian couldn't care less.
As long as it didn't harm his interests, whoever wanted to be the leader could be it.
Upon entering the palace, everyone looked around and saw that indeed, there were already many people waiting for them.
These people were all extraordinary young individuals, likely the representatives sent by the Sky Dome Dynasty to enter the Imperial Secret Realm.
What left the deepest impression on Zhao Letian was the two young men in the lead; their presence was no less formidable than Ye Zhenxiao's, clearly indicating they were invincible powerhouses under the Sect Martial Realm.
Aside from those two, there was also a woman dressed in a fiery red gown. Her appearance was no less attractive than Ye Junrou's and she too exuded an imposing air of elegance and nobility.
"Ha ha, at long last we welcome all of you. Let me introduce myself; I am the Crown Prince of the Sky Dome Dynasty, Ji Pengyu. This is my fourth brother, Ji Chaofan, and this lady is my sister, Princess Ji Fengyi. All the others here are the young talents of our Sky Dome Dynasty who, before long, will be entering the Imperial Secret Realm together with you."
The leading handsome young man, clad in a splendid white robe, looked around at Zhao Letian and the others, and greeted them with a hearty smile. Cоntеnt sоurсеd frоm МV4LЕМРYR – Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе.
At the same time, the twenty or so people behind Ji Pengyu were also sizing up Zhao Letian and his group, but many of them had looks of mockery and disdain in their eyes.
As people of the dynasty, they inherently felt superior and looked down upon those coming from the Four Great Kingdoms.
In their eyes, the geniuses from the Four Great Kingdoms were mere country bumpkins. They were only considered geniuses in their own nations but if placed in the Sky Dome Dynasty, they would not amount to much and didn't deserve to be compared with them.
"Greetings to all your Highnesses!"
Under Ye Zhenxiao's lead, Zhao Letian and the others bowed and performed a greeting to the three from the Ji family.
Although personalities such as Ye Zhenxiao were princes in their respective nations, their status could not compare to those of the princes and princesses of the Sky Dome Dynasty; they even dared not claim the title of prince here.
As for the disdainful looks in those people's eyes, Zhao Letian and others saw them too, with many faces immediately turning dark with displeasure, and the atmosphere suddenly became rather tense.
"You needn't be so formal, please take a seat. Try the fine wine and dishes of our Sky Dome Dynasty."
The Crown Prince Ji Pengyu seemed not to notice the awkward atmosphere at the scene, or perhaps he simply didn't care, as he said with an indifferent smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment, each finding a low table filled with wine, dishes, and fruits, and took their seats.
"Excellent wine, extraordinary dishes!"
Even before tasting them, the rich Primordial Energy wafting from the food and drink elicited involuntary praise from everyone.
The food and drink in front of them were clearly not ordinary; if available outside, they would undoubtedly be considered priceless treasures, unattainable even with a wealth of Primordial Stones.
Seeing the shock on Zhao Letian and the others' faces, the Sky Dome Dynasty's people felt an even stronger sense of contempt, secretly thinking that these geniuses from the Four Great Kingdoms were indeed a bunch of country bumpkins without any worldly experience.
"Come now, everyone, let's drink this cup to the full!"
At this moment, Ji Pengyu, the Crown Prince of Sky Dome Dynasty, picked up a glass of wine and raised it high in the direction of the crowd.
Everyone simultaneously lifted their glasses and then drank them dry.
After drinking this cup of wine, the expressions on the faces of Zhao Letian and the others became even more fascinating.
Many faces showed colors of disbelief and shock; it was the first time in their lives they had tasted such an exceptional wine. Just one cup seemed to have enhanced their cultivation slightly, which was simply inconceivable.
Even Zhao Letian's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
He discovered that the effect of this wine was in no way inferior to his Qingluo Wine; it was even slightly stronger.
This just showed that the foundation of the Sky Dome Dynasty was indeed not comparable to the Four Great Kingdoms.
At the same time, Nalan Yun, Ye Junrou, and others also realized this and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Letian.
They originally thought Zhao Letian's Qingluo Wine was the finest in the world, but they didn't expect to drink an even better wine today.
Seeing this scene, the people from the Sky Dome Dynasty's disdain in their eyes grew stronger, and even the corners of their mouths curled up into a mocking cold smile, looking at each other.
They greatly enjoyed the shock on the faces of the people from the Four Great Kingdoms; in their eyes, it was as if country bumpkins from small places should have this kind of lack of prospects and lack of insight.
Next, the people began to taste the dishes on the table and the various Spirit Fruits, their faces involuntarily revealing an expression of extreme enjoyment.
They had to admit, the chefs of the Sky Dome Dynasty indeed possessed superior skills. It was far from what the chefs in their respective kingdoms could compare with. The dishes they cooked were so delicious that they were intoxicating and irresistible.
Moreover, the ingredients used were all superb food materials that could not be found in the great kingdoms, and those Spirit Fruits were also rare and precious items, not only delicious but also having various peculiar effects. Regular consumption would greatly benefit Martial Artists.
The geniuses of the Four Great Kingdoms never thought that their Martial Arts Heart, which they believed was indestructible and unshakable, would today covet such trivial wine and dishes.
However, after indulging cravings for a while, many people finally noticed the disdain in the eyes of the people from the Sky Dome Country and showed embarassed expressions, quickly stopping and flushing with shame.
Martial Artists value their dignity and face very much, especially the geniuses of the Four Great Kingdoms. They value their own face greatly, and although the wine and dishes were delicious, they could not afford to lose face because of them.
However, Zhao Letian was unmoved, continuing to pour and drink his own wine, tasting the dishes on the table.
Before having enough strength, talk of face and dignity was simply a joke.
What he cared about was only his own strength; the gaze of others could not affect him at all.
Zhao Letian's unconventional behavior drew the attention of the people from the Sky Dome Dynasty, even the Crown Prince Ji Pengyu, the fourth Prince Ji Chaofan, and Princess Ji Fengyi looked over at him.
However, many gazes directed towards him only showed a deeper disdain.
"I originally thought that the Four Great Kingdoms could send some stunningly talented people this time, but unexpectedly, what came were a bunch of bad apples, and even more absurdly, a waste of the True Martial Eighth Realm has joined in, does the Four Great Kingdoms have no one left?"
Just at this moment, a young man in a black robe from the Sky Dome Dynasty suddenly looked around Zhao Letian and the others and mocked them without any politeness.
