Chapter 469 Old Friend
Everyone looked in response to the sound and saw a refined gentleman dressed in a purple robe stepping through the void toward them.
Behind him followed two young people.
"It's Lord Wenwang!"
Zhao Letian and the people of Gray Wolf Kingdom immediately recognized the man in the purple robe.
This man was none other than Murong Yunxuan, the Wenwang of Gray Wolf Kingdom.
As for the two young people following Wenwang, Zhao Letian and others were also familiar with them.
"Murong Zhan, and Die Wu!"
Zhao Letian looked at the two young people, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Murong Zhan, dressed in black, was one of his few friends in the Gray Wolf Capital, whom he naturally remembered.
However, after some time, Murong Zhan's cultivation had improved significantly, having reached the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.
As for Die Wu, dressed in a pink long dress with snow-white skin and a charming appearance, Zhao Letian could not possibly forget her either.
After all, he had once touched her body, and up to this day, he still vividly remembered the warm and smooth sensation.
Moreover, her cultivation level was no less than Murong Zhan's, having also reached the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.
Wenwang's intention in bringing the two here was clear; he was certainly aiming to fill the two vacancies left in the Gray Wolf Kingdom.
"Junior Murong Yunxuan, pays respects to Lord Yunjun."
Upon arriving in front of Floating Cloud Monarch, Wenwang bowed respectfully.
Though he stood as a high and mighty, powerful King-level Expert in front of most martial artists, in front of the Floating Cloud Monarch, he was merely a somewhat larger ant, naturally not daring to show any disrespect.
"There's no need for such formality. You've brought these two youngsters; could it be that you wish for them to represent Gray Wolf Kingdom in the Imperial Secret Realm?"
The Floating Cloud Monarch smiled faintly, glanced at Murong Zhan and Die Wu behind him, and spoke nonchalantly.
"That's indeed the case; I hope we are not too late?"
Wenwang nodded, managing a strained smile.
In fact, as soon as the news of Wanyan Zheng and Ao Tian being killed by Zhao Letian had reached the Gray Wolf Kingdom, he had already started rushing here with Murong Zhan and Die Wu towards the Sky Dome Dynasty.
However, his speed was much slower than that of the Floating Cloud Monarch, therefore he had only just arrived.
"Of course, you're just in time. The ten spots for the Gray Wolf Kingdom are yours to dictate. Since you've brought these two youngsters along, there is no need for further contention for these spots."
The Floating Cloud Monarch nodded.
"Thank you, senior. Zhan, Die Wu, from now on, follow the arrangements of Lord Yunjun."
Wenwang bowed in thanks, then turned to Murong Zhan and Die Wu.
"Junior Murong Zhan!"
"Junior Die Wu!"
"Pays respects to Lord Yunjun!"
Murong Zhan and Die Wu bowed in unison to the Floating Cloud Monarch.
"Here are your tokens; from now on, follow the Gray Wolf Kingdom's team."
The Floating Cloud Monarch smiled faintly, took out two tokens, and handed them to Murong Zhan and Die Wu.
"Thank you, senior."
Murong Zhan and Die Wu took the tokens, bowed in thanks, and then headed towards where Zhao Letian and others were.
As they walked over, both of their gazes fell on Zhao Letian.
However, Murong Zhan's eyes were filled with the joy of reunion with an old friend, while in Die Wu's beautiful eyes, there was a look of deep resentment.
"You young ones, behave yourselves in the future and do not bring disgrace upon our Gray Wolf Kingdom, understand?"
King Wen looked around at Zhao Letian and others, and raised his voice to speak.
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhao Letian and the others bowed in salute.
"Hmm, Lord Yun, I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
King Wen nodded, then turned to look at the Floating Cloud Monarch.
"You may leave."
The Floating Cloud Monarch spoke indifferently.
Afterward, King Wen transformed into a beam of astonishingly fast light and directly departed.
But who would have known, just as King Wen left, another King-level Expert, accompanied by two people from the True Martial Realm, arrived above the square.
The newcomers were from the Skyfire Country.
Their purpose, similar to that of Gray Wolf Kingdom's King Wen, was to fill the vacant positions with their own people.
As a result, the Floating Cloud Monarch also granted their request.
However, the King-level Expert from Skyfire Country who brought those two people did not leave right away but instead gazed coldly at Zhao Letian, his eyes unabashedly revealing intense murderous intent.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Letian frowned and looked back intently.
"Are you Zhao Zilong?"
The King-level Expert in a red robe asked coldly.
"What if I am?"
Zhao Letian spoke without any fear.
He did not believe that this King-level Expert from Skyfire Country would dare to make a move in front of the Floating Cloud Monarch.
If that were the case, this person would be courting death.
"Very well, then remember this: I, Xu Qian, am Xu Yan's father. The enmity of killing my son is irreconcilable. Without avenging this hatred, I swear I am not a human. I hope you can still be alive when you leave the Imperial Secret Realm. At that time, I will let you experience what it's like to wish you were dead!"
King-level Expert Xu Qian did not hide the strong murderous intent in his heart, staring fixedly at Zhao Letian, and spoke indifferently.
He dared not touch Zhao Letian in front of the Floating Cloud Monarch, but threatening Zhao Letian was still not a problem.
Because he was well aware that these so-called True Martial Realm geniuses meant nothing to the Floating Cloud Monarch, who had seen too many such talents.
Or in other words, the Floating Cloud Monarch wouldn't care about the life or death of a mere True Martial Realm person; Zhao Letian's only value to him was for the journey in the Imperial Secret Realm.
And after the Imperial Secret Realm ended, the Floating Cloud Monarch would have no reason to care about Zhao Letian's fate anymore. By then, even if he were to slay Zhao Letian in front of the Floating Cloud Monarch, it likely wouldn't be a big issue.
Meanwhile, upon hearing Xu Qian's threat, Yu Wenhui, Xiao Yan, Yu Kun, and others all showed schadenfreude-like cold smiles.
Several King-level Experts confronting Zhao Letian brought them great joy.
"Threatening me? Very well, then you also remember this: if I don't die, one day I will surely ensure that the Xu family of Skyfire Country is erased from this world!"
Zhao Letian stood fearlessly, looking directly at the King-level Expert Xu Qian, and spoke indifferently.
The King-level Experts who wanted to kill him were not just one or two; another Xu Qian made no difference to him.
At the moment, his cultivation was weak, and he could do nothing to these people, but only endure temporarily.
However, once his cultivation grew stronger, he would settle these accounts thoroughly with them one by one.
Xu Qian immediately furrowed his brows. Although he did not think that Zhao Letian, a mere True Martial Realm person, could threaten the immensely powerful Xu Family, the extremely determined and confident tone of Zhao Letian somehow made his heart tremble, with a vague sense of foreboding.
"Alright, now that the four vacant slots have been filled, there is no need for the first round of replacement battles. Let's directly start the second round of challenges."
Just then, the Floating Cloud Monarch suddenly spoke up.
