Dragon Martial Sword Supreme

Zhao Letian is a man who reciprocates kindness and takes revenge for every grievance.

Those who have shown him kindness, he keeps in his heart; those with whom he has a feud, he lets not a single one off the hook.

He could fully imagine the humiliation his pregnant mother must have suffered while in the Royal Capital, and the utter helplessness she felt after being driven out of the Royal Capital.

The matter of his father could be set aside for now, to be resolved when they meet again in the future.

But those who had once made things difficult for his mother, he would not let a single one of them go; if he did not avenge this, he would have failed as a son.

"Letian, don't act rashly. You have no idea just how terrifying the power of those royal relatives is. If this vengeance were easy to exact, your maternal grandfather would have avenged your mother long ago. However, the reality is that even I, a person at the high-level Sect Martial Realm, am nothing in the face of their vast power, let alone you. Forget about revenge and leave it to your grandfather. Before my life runs out, I will certainly make them pay. I know you're going to represent the Gray Wolf Kingdom in the Imperial Secret Realm—it's a rare opportunity. Your current task is to train hard before the Secret Realm opens, to improve your strength as much as possible. Once you're there, seize the opportunity, and if possible, undergo a complete transformation. Once you're out, continue to cultivate diligently until one day you have enough strength to take Dajin Country's territory on my behalf because it's what that man owes you and your mother—Dajin Country should be yours."

Zhao Dahai instructed with a grave expression.

He was terribly afraid that Zhao Letian, in a rash moment, would go directly to seek revenge from those people, which would be akin to delivering himself to death.

"Grandfather, rest assured, I have a clear mind and will not act impulsively. I just want their list, simply to remember those people, not to seek revenge right now."

Zhao Letian said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"That's good. I've already made a list of these people for you."

Seeing his grandson did not seem reckless, Zhao Dahai relaxed a bit, took out a Jade Scroll with a list of enemies, and handed it to Zhao Letian.

"Song Family? Cui Family? Pang Family? Are these three families the main plotters?"

Zhao Letian poured his Divine Thought Power into the Jade Scroll, quickly scanning the names listed within.

"That's right, among them, the Song Family is the family of the current Queen. They were the masterminds back then. The Cui and Pang families were coerced, while the other families were merely their underlings."

Zhao Dahai nodded.

"Alright, Grandfather, I've got it. Whether they are the masterminds or underlings, I won't let any of them off as long as there's a chance."

Zhao Letian stored away the Jade Scroll and said resolutely.

"Mhm, that's how a man should be—a gentleman takes revenge when it is due. It's a Martial Artist's duty to enjoy the pleasure of gratitude and revenge. It's getting late—you should go back. After the battle just now, they probably won't take action again for a short while. Remember to be careful in the future."

A look of relief appeared in Zhao Dahai's eyes.

"Don't worry, Grandfather, I won't give them another chance. Right, I have here three Healing Pills which may be of help to you. Please take them."

Zhao Letian nodded and handed over three Life Extension Pills to Zhao Dahai.

"What are these pills? They seem quite potent, but I doubt they'll be of much use to me."

Zhao Dahai examined the three blue pills in his hand, shaking his head.

He sensed that these three pills were probably low-level elixirs, which would have minimal effect on someone at his level, a high-level Sect Martial Realm.

"Grandfather, these three pills are called Life Extension Pills. Each of them could increase a Martial Artist's lifespan by ten years. Consuming the second increases by five years, and the third by three years. Altogether, the three pills can extend life by eighteen years. Of course, this is for a typical Martial Artist. You've already consumed Pills that affect lifespan; how much they can extend yours, even I am not sure."

Zhao Letian explained.

"What? A pill that can extend life? Letian, how did you get your hands on such a long-lost treasure?"

Zhao Dahai asked, utterly shocked.

Pills that reduced life expectancy were not rare, but those that could extend it had long been lost.

Even for him, such pills were immensely precious.

"I refined them myself; they're not considered any sort of treasure."

Zhao Letian replied with a light smile, not taking it seriously.

"..."

Zhao Dahai was left speechless, staring dumbfounded at Zhao Letian.

At this moment, he began to realize that his grandson was far more formidable than he had imagined.

To have a True Martial Eighth Realm at such a young age was already impressive, even more so than Ye Rui, who was known as the Little Overlord of the Royal Capital. At the same time, his grandson was also a second-level Alchemist, with a Martial Arts Talent that could only be described as astonishing.

Perhaps the repeated attempts by the Ghost Shadow Sect to deal with his grandson were not only because of old scores but also likely out of fear of his grandson's talent.

Yet, he did not know that his grandson was not only a second-level Alchemist but also a second-level Array Master, and moreover, a high-level Artifact Refiner.

If all these facts were to be made known, they would undoubtedly cause a sensation throughout the Royal Capital. Normally in Martial Technique, even those monstrous talents achieving a level comparable to Zhao Letian's martial prowess was already quite remarkable, let alone having any spare energy to dabble in other arts.

Zhao Letian, however, seemed to excel in every aspect.

"Grandfather, you should hurry back as well. Though the most dangerous place is sometimes the safest, hiding within the Ghost Shadow Sect is still a very risky move; you shouldn't be away too long, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Zhao Letian earnestly advised.

"Mhm, I'll keep these pills, then. After I find your mother, I will contact you."

Zhao Dahai nodded, pocketed the pills, and then, like a ghost, swiftly left the courtyard.

Afterward, Zhao Letian also used the Disguise Technique to change his appearance and, transforming into a streak of sword light, he swiftly flew towards the Gray Wolf Kingdom's post house.

...

Upon returning to his residence, Zhao Letian immediately consumed several Healing Pills and began to sit in meditation to recuperate.

In the battle today, he had sustained some injuries from a head-on clash with a person from Skyfire Country. Though not too severe, they needed prompt medical attention or complications could arise if left untreated.

Sunrise, sunset, and quickly, the night passed.

Throughout the night, as he healed, Zhao Letian thought about many things and planned for the future.

The next morning, he left the post house, again used the Disguise Technique, this time transforming into a bearded, robust man, then entered the largest trading office in the city.
