Zhao Letian, in the Ghost King Stele, summoned three spirit creatures with Nine Layers Cultivation of the Sect Martial Realm. Joining forces, they were comparable to Master Yu.
That is to say, as long as no King-level Expert intervened, ordinary individuals of High-level Sect Martial Realm would not be able to harm him.
Therefore, for the Yu Family to kill him would not be an easy feat.
Chen Shan frowned slightly and asked Zhao Letian.
He was worried that Zhao Letian made an impulsive decision without thorough consideration.
Zhao Letian nodded affirmatively.
"Alright, you've chosen your path, just don't regret it later on."
Chen Shan nodded his head.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to have the guts to agree to such terms. The seat knows that you geniuses of the True Martial Realm always have a few powerful cards up your sleeves. It's a pity, provoking my Yu Family means no matter how many cards you have, you'll ultimately find escaping death difficult."
Seeing Zhao Letian volunteering his agreement, the Yu Family Ancestor was shocked for a moment, then sneered.
"Yu Family Ancestor, don't rejoice too soon. I have to make something clear in advance, no matter how the Yu Family seeks revenge, you cannot make a move within this posthouse, otherwise, I see one, I kill one!"
Chen Shan said coldly.
"Chen Shan, what do you mean? According to you, if this kid stays in the posthouse all the time, won't we still be unable to do anything to him?"
The Yu Family Ancestor knitted his brows and said.
"That's exactly what I mean. This posthouse is under my protection. No one is allowed to cause trouble here. If you have any objections, feel free to go argue with Lord Yun!"
Chen Shan stated uncompromisingly.
"Fine, fine, Chen the Madman, you play hardball. We of the Yu Family will remember today's events. I don't believe he can keep hiding here forever. Let's go!"
The Yu Family Ancestor forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gave Chen Shan and Zhao Letian a cold look, and spoke with a sullen face.
Then, the Yu Family Ancestor left with Yu Qin.
"Be careful. Before heading to the Imperial Secret Realm, it's best not to leave this place. As long as you stay within this posthouse, I can ensure your safety, and the same goes for the others."
After the Yu Family Ancestor had left, Chen Shan looked at Zhao Letian and the others from Gray Wolf Kingdom, and gave a serious admonition.
Zhao Letian and the others from Gray Wolf Kingdom bowed together in gratitude.
After that, everyone dispersed.
Before long, Zhao Letian returned to his residence.
Inside, Cheng Jiayin and her brother paced back and forth in the room, their faces filled with tension, evidently very worried about Zhao Letian's safety.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Seeing Zhao Letian return, Cheng Jiayin immediately rushed over, examining him carefully.
At the same time, Cheng Feng also looked over attentively.
After confirming that Zhao Letian was safe and sound, the sibling pair shared a smile and a sigh of relief.
Zhao Letian was their savior, and naturally, they hoped he would remain unharmed. This chapter was uploaded by the team at *.
"I'm fine; it's you, Cheng Feng, who must seek prompt treatment for the injuries within your body, otherwise permanent complications could arise."
Zhao Letian shook his head with a smile, as his gaze fell upon Cheng Feng, the gleam of azure in his eyes making the extent of Cheng Feng's internal injuries clear, and he spoke with a serious tone.
Cheng Feng was injured by a palm strike from Yu Ze, with his internal organs damaged and the injuries far from light; they required immediate attention.
"Don't worry, Young Master. My brother is an Alchemist. He can refine Healing Pills for sure, which can completely heal the injuries inside his body."
Cheng Jiayin spoke with a smile, a proud expression on her face.
Zhao Letian's expression changed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He did not quite understand; if Cheng Feng was an Alchemist, they, as siblings, should not be lacking Primordial Stones. Then why did Cheng Jiayin need to work as a guide in the streets?
"You flatter me, Young Master. I have not yet refined any First-grade Elixirs, so I can't consider myself a true Alchemist."
Cheng Feng smiled helplessly, taking out a small white porcelain bottle and pouring out some red pills which he then swallowed.
"These are indeed not First-grade Elixirs, they can't even be called elixirs, but mere pills. However, they're very close to being First-grade Elixirs which means that your Alchemy Skill has actually reached the level of a first-grade Alchemist. You just haven't yet refined a First-grade Elixir."
Zhao Letian observed the red pills that Cheng Feng had taken and nodded in agreement.
With his Alchemy Skill, he could naturally see Cheng Feng's current level of proficiency in alchemy at a glance.
"Eh? Young Master, you also understand the Alchemy Skill?"
Cheng Jiayin exclaimed with a look of surprise, curious.
"Jiayin, you don't understand. Young Master was able to casually take out an Elixir recipe for trade, and accurately determined the grade of my pills, which is enough to show that he is definitely a true Alchemist, and most likely, an Alchemy Master beyond the first grade!"
Cheng Feng said with admiration in his eyes, looking up to Zhao Letian.
Zhao Letian had given him the Elixir recipe, which he had already examined. Though it was only the most basic first-grade Elixir recipe, it was certainly exceptional among its kind.
Having such a recipe meant that Zhao Letian was not just an Alchemist, but undoubtedly one far beyond ordinary.
"I wouldn't go as far as to call myself a master; I simply know a bit here and there. The Yu Family has left; you two can go as well. Their current target is only myself; they shouldn't trouble you further. However, just to be safe, you should leave the Imperial City as soon as possible."
Zhao Letian shook his head and smiled, speaking nonchalantly.
"No, Young Master, I won't go. I wish to follow you and cultivate!"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Feng shook his head, his expression serious as he spoke.
"Ah? Brother, you want to become a follower of the Young Master?"
Cheng Jiayin's face showed surprise.
"You want to follow me? Why?"
Zhao Letian's heart stirred, he spoke with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Young Master, as you have seen, I possess some talent in Alchemy and am wholeheartedly committed to becoming an Alchemist. You, on the other hand, are a true Alchemy Master. If I could have the honor of following you and cultivating, my Alchemy Skill would certainly improve swiftly. Moreover, my sister's Alchemy Talent is no less than mine. She, too, has the potential to become an Alchemist. If Young Master doesn't mind, we, brother and sister, are willing to follow at your side through fire and water, without any hesitation!"
Cheng Feng spoke frankly, continuously signaling to his sister, Cheng Jiayin, with his eyes as he spoke.
"Ah? I should also follow the Young Master? But isn't my talent for cultivation too poor? Will the Young Master accept me?"
Cheng Jiayin hesitated and then looked at Zhao Letian with a shy face, speaking somewhat apprehensively.
"Becoming my follower is not impossible, but the condition is that you must demonstrate your potential to me. I have some Alchemy materials here. If you can process them properly within a set time frame, I will take you under my wing."
Zhao Letian said with a faint smile.
