Dragon Martial Sword Supreme

After Ye Siyu left, the banquet soon came to an end.

The banquet could be described as an unhappy dispersal.

The most frustrated were the people from Skyfire Country; as the main guests of the banquet, their attempt at establishing their might backfired. Not only did they lose a genius, but they also lost the precious Purple Lotus Demon Fire. In the end, they failed to gain the favor of Princess Ye Siyu. It could be said that they lost both their wife and their soldiers, suffering a significant defeat.

The people from Thunder Swamp Country didn't lose anything and had just watched the drama from the side, but they were equally dejected.

Many among them also harbored feelings of admiration for Princess Ye Siyu, yet in the end, she did not favor them but chose Zhao Letian. This made their hatred for Zhao Letian deep to the bone.

Especially Thunder Swamp Country's first and invincible existence below the Sect Martial Realm, Zhou Bin. Although he didn't show much reaction on the surface, deep down he was extremely jealous of Zhao Letian.

Because Zhou Bin was also enamored with Princess Ye Siyu.

He originally thought that, with Baru and Di Rong showing no interest in Ye Siyu, there would no longer be any competition for him.

Yet, to his surprise, Princess Ye Siyu's ultimate favor fell upon Zhao Letian, someone he had always looked down upon.

A mere ant at the True Martial Seventh Realm dared to compete with him for a woman, which was simply a death wish.

If it wasn't for the lack of a suitable excuse to make a move, he would have slapped Zhao Letian to death a long time ago.

Aside from them, the people from Gray Wolf Kingdom and Dajin Country were also in a bad mood for similar reasons to Skyfire Country and Thunder Swamp Country – because of that person they found very disagreeable, Zhao Letian.

After the banquet, this being who should have been at the bottom became the biggest winner, leaving no one happy.

Of course, what others thought was none of Zhao Letian's concern.

After leaving the banquet hall, Zhao Letian immediately sent a message to Commandery Princess Ye Junrou via the Communication Jade Scroll, asking about the situation of Liu Wei and Luo Yao.

"They are both fine. Where are you? Is that Zhao Zilong really you?"

Ye Junrou quickly replied.

After learning about the events in War King City, she and Ye Chenxiao both harbored doubts about Zhao Letian's true identity.

"It's me."

Zhao Letian candidly said.

He didn't want to hide anything from Commandery Princess Ye Junrou since this woman had saved him twice; once outside the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and another time on the battlefield. Moreover, during his absence, she had taken care of Liu Wei and others. Indeed, she was a woman of great kindness and loyalty, worthy of trust.

"It's really you? How did you end up in Gray Wolf Kingdom? And how did you even become a candidate for Prince Consort?"

Ye Junrou responded back, apparently very surprised.

Although she had doubted Zhao Letian's identity, she still couldn't believe that Zhao Letian, who was only at the Initial Stage True Martial Realm when he left, could become a candidate for Prince Consort of Gray Wolf Kingdom in less than half a year. Even now, he represented Gray Wolf Kingdom in competing for the Imperial Secret Realm.

"There's a long story behind this; let's talk when we meet."

Zhao Letian replied with a wry smile, sending a message back.

"Don't you have the Princess Token? Come with me to the Royal Palace; Weiwei and Luo Yao are both in the palace."

Ye Junrou replied back.

"The Royal Palace? Alright, wait for me; I'll come to join you."

Zhao Letian furrowed his brows, hesitated momentarily, but ultimately agreed to Ye Junrou's suggestion.

After that, he changed direction and headed towards the depths of the Royal Palace.

Normally, those outside the Royal Family were not allowed to wander around Dajin Royal Palace freely, but Zhao Letian, bearing the Princess Token, was allowed to proceed unimpeded, heading straight to the inner palace.

Before long, Zhao Letian found Ye Junrou at the entrance of the inner palace.

"Follow me."

Decked in silver armor and a red battle robe, Ye Junrou still carried an air of valiant and brisk elegance, a towering posture. She gave Zhao Letian a slight smile and then moved towards the entrance of the inner palace.

"Halt!"

After Ye Junrou stepped through the inner palace gates, several Sect Martial Realm guards with an indifferent demeanor stopped Zhao Letian.

The inner palace is of great importance, strictly prohibiting entry of men. Even with a Princess Token, one must notify in advance.

"Let him in. It was the princess who asked for him."

Ye Junrou turned around, looking at Zhao Letian who was stopped outside with a wry smile. Even she had to follow the rules set within the royal palace.

"Since the Commandery Princess has spoken, we will forego notification. Go ahead."

Only then did the Sect Martial Realm guards step aside for Zhao Letian.

Following Ye Junrou through the winding corridors within the inner palace, Zhao Letian curiously surveyed the surrounding scenery.

The bloodline of the Dajin Royal Family flows through his veins; this place should be his home.

Hence, arriving here, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had returned home, yet it felt like a completely unfamiliar place.

"What is that?"

As they walked, Zhao Letian suddenly froze, as if electrocuted, and stopped dead in his tracks to stare in a certain direction.

"What's wrong with you? Why have you stopped moving?"

Ye Junrou, leading the way, turned around, her face showing surprise at Zhao Letian's reaction.

"What is that place?"

Zhao Letian still gazed into the distance, his voice firm as he asked.

At that moment, he could feel his blood boiling, roaring within him, yearning to rush towards that direction.

Even the Little Snake Martial Soul within his Soul Space, which had fallen into a slumber after devouring the Purple Lotus Demon Fire, suddenly opened its eyes. Its gaze was cold and lofty, as if piercing through the constraints of space, fixated on the direction Zhao Letian was looking at with an equal desire to rush over.

"Over there? That is the Royal Forbidden Land, the Dragon Transformation Pool. Only the direct descendants of the Royal Bloodline have the privilege to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool to undergo the Dragon Blood baptism. This activates their inherent bloodline, even strengthening their Martial Soul Power."

Ye Junrou glanced in the direction Zhao Letian was looking and casually explained.

The existence of the Dragon Transformation Pool was common knowledge, not a secret, so she could easily share this with Zhao Letian.

"The Dragon Transformation Pool? Activating the inherited bloodline and enhancing Martial Soul Power? No wonder."

Zhao Letian secretly pondered.

He now understood why his inherited bloodline had not awakened; it was because he had never entered the Dragon Transformation Pool. It seemed that, if the opportunity arose, he must visit it.

"Let's go. We'll go straight to see Her Highness. I have already notified Weiwei and Luo Yao to come."

Ye Junrou said.

She was well aware that although Zhao Letian had successfully entered the inner palace, there were still those secretly watching him. If he didn't visit Princess Ye Siyu, unnecessary troubles would ensue.

"Mhm."

Zhao Letian nodded and followed Ye Junrou forward.

However, just then, around the corner ahead, they saw two familiar figures approaching.
