Chapter 209: Chapter 209

Seeing the young man, Cailian immediately showed a face brimming with surprise and her mood brightened a great deal, saying this as she waved her hand to open the Array Formation Light Shield.

The young man was indeed her younger brother, who had been serving in the army of Gray Wolf Kingdom. She had no idea why he would suddenly return.

"True Martial Third Realm? Not bad talent."

Zhao Letian took a glance at the young man and silently praised him to himself.

The young man was about the same age as him, or even younger, and to have achieved minor completion in True Martial Third Realm, he indeed could be called a genius.

"Son, how did you come back?"

Mu Lang, who was cleaning the battlefield, walked over with a smile, his mood very good. Not only did they preserve the Baihua Tribe today, but his son also came back, a joyous double blessing indeed.

"Dad, sister, don't mention it. Recently, we had a major decisive battle with Dajin Country on the border, but we were defeated. The main forces were scattered, and it was with great difficulty that I managed to escape back here."

Mu Lei's expression darkened, speaking dejectedly with his head down.

"Son, are you injured?"

Mu Lang frowned, holding Mu Lei's arms, scrutinizing him up and down, and asked with concern.

"Dad, I'm fine. What happened to our tribe? Why is there such a strong array, and why are there so many corpses outside? It seems we've been through a brutal battle."

Mu Lei shook his head before glancing over the scene, expressing his concern.

"It's a long story, mainly because of the Black Hawk Tribe..."

Mu Lang's expression became severe, and he began to recount the gist of the events slowly.

"Hmph, that Wusu'er again? I came back this time to kill the bastard for my sister, and to think he's already dead. He's lucky. But dad, you're saying that all those people outside were killed by this big brother alone, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

After hearing this, Mu Lei's brows flashed with anger, and then he looked at Zhao Letian with disbelief.

He couldn't believe that a young man, who didn't seem much older than him, was able to single-handedly defeat the allied forces of several tribes. After all, if it were him, just facing Wusu'er would give him a huge headache.

"Mu Lei, let me introduce you, this young fellow's name is Zhao Zilong, you can call him Brother Zhao from now on."

Mu Lang introduced with a smile. My Virtual Library Empire (*) hosts the original.

"Zilong? What a coincidence, you share the Zhao surname too?"

Mu Lei's gaze became intense, carefully examining Zhao Letian, thoughtfully speaking.

He seemed to have seen this face somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where at the moment.

"Such a coincidence? What are you talking about, Mu Lei?"

Mu Lang asked, not understanding, and at the same time, Cailian also showed a face of astonishment. How could Mu Lei have seen Zhao Letian since he had just returned from the border?

Zhao Letian slightly furrowed his brows, it seemed that Mu Lei probably recognized him.

"I remember now, Brother Zhao and that person do look somewhat similar, but their temperament seems quite different."

Mu Lei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That person? Mu Lei, what on earth are you talking about? Who is that person?"

Cailian furrowed her brows slightly.

"Sister, on the border battlefield that day, I saw from afar among the crowds a young prodigy from Dajin Country going to war. His surname was also Zhao, named Zhao Letian, about the same age as Brother Zhao and resembled him in stature. With his astounding talent and exceptional strength, people called him a genius freak. He completely overpowered the strongest talent, Ao Ri, of our Gray Wolf Kingdom's first tribe - the Heavenly Wolf Tribe, and killed him on the spot, achieving immense glory and shocking the armies of both sides with a strength of a million. It was precisely because of this man's critical victory that our Gray Wolf Kingdom ultimately suffered a great defeat. Sadly, it seems like he was later betrayed by the people of Dajin Country, pursued and killed by their own, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead now."

Mu Lei spoke at length, his eyes filled with admiration. Although Zhao Letian was an enemy to him, he was also a powerful individual worthy of his respect.

"He's that formidable? If that's the case, this Zhao Letian you're talking about might indeed be comparable to Zilong. Zilong is also a genius freak of sorts. It's probably hard to find someone of the same rank to match him in the entire Holy River Basin."

Mu Lang was a little surprised and said with a smile. In his heart, the "Zhao Zilong" before him was even more impressive, after all, he had personally witnessed Zhao Letian sweeping through the allied tribes.

"Brother Zilong, could you possibly be that Zhao Letian?"

Mu Lei gazed at Zhao Letian, curiously asking.

"Impossible, Mu Lei, the Zhao Letian you're talking about is a person from Dajin Country, while Zilong was found drifting from the Holy River; how would someone from Dajin Country dare to venture deep into the grasslands? Moreover, when your sister saved Zilong, he had already lost his memory and can't answer this question."

Mu Lang said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Drifted from the Holy River? And also has amnesia? Why do I feel the more we talk, the more it sounds like him?"

Mu Lei looked suspicious and examined Zhao Letian closely, as if trying to see right through him.

However, Zhao Letian maintained a calm smile on his face, without showing any trace, leaving Mu Lei unable to discern anything.

"You brat, what are you talking about? Brother Zhao here is the savior of the Baihua Tribe. Without him, you wouldn't have been able to see your old man on your return. Is there still a need to doubt his identity? Even if he were really a person from Dajin Country, how could the Baihua Tribe forget the life-saving grace? Now, quickly thank your Brother Zhao!"

Mu Lang chided with a smile, not suspecting Zhao Letian of being from Dajin Country, nor did he care about it.

"Yes, yes, father, you're right. Even if Brother Zhao really is that man, I, Mu Lei, will never be ungrateful and expose his identity. Brother Zhao, thank you for saving the Baihua Tribe. Mu Lei has no way to repay you, but from now on, should Brother Zhao need anything, I am willing to go through fire and water without hesitation."

Mu Lei chuckled and nodded, then bowed deeply to express his gratitude towards Zhao Letian.

"Brother Mu Lei, there's no need for such formalities. Cailian and Uncle Mu have also shown me life-saving kindness. It's all that I should do."

Zhao Letian said with a faint smile, shaking his head as if it was nothing special.

"Brother Zhao, what weapon do you use?"

Mu Lei asked with a grin, randomly throwing out a question.

"You rascal, aren't you done yet, trying to fish for information? Brother Zhao uses a spear, and also puppets. Don't tell me that Zhao Letian uses these things as well."

Mu Lang glared at Mu Lei, speaking irritably.

"That's not it, Zhao Letian uses a sword, and commands a group of Spiritual Beasts. It seems Brother Zhao really has no connection to that person. Is this the puppet used by Brother Zhao? What a strong presence."

Mu Lei shook his head, finally convinced that the person before him had nothing to do with Zhao Letian, and looked at the massive Human-shaped Puppet in shock.

Zhao Letian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mu Lei did not ask about what kind of Spiritual Beasts he used, or else he might have been exposed.
