Chapter 455: Chapter 456: The Royal Family Chooses a Husband

Xia Family.

Meeting Hall.

Ye Wudao sat at the head of the table, closely flanked by powerhouses such as those from the Northern King Hall, while the members of the Xia family sat by, visibly anxious.

"Elder Ye, are you saying we don’t need to mine anymore?" The Family Head of the Xia family still couldn’t believe this conclusion.

Ye Wudao took a sip of tea and nodded lightly, "Mmm, the bloodstones within the Xia family’s Blood Mine have been devoured by Bloodthirsty Bugs; there’s no need to continue mining! From today onwards, seal off the mine!"

Seal the mine!

Hearing this conclusion, the Xia family members were all dumbfounded.

"Dad, it’s good that the mine is closed. Because of that Blood Mine, thousands have died," said Xia Wuwei, who saw things very clearly.

"Don’t I know that the Blood Mine has killed people? But will the Qin family believe it? I’m afraid they won’t let us go so easily..." The Family Head of the Xia family said with a bitter smile.

With the closing of the Xia family’s Blood Mine, Ye Wudao and his associates could naturally leave without concerns!

But the Xia family could not leave so easily!

They won’t let the Xia family off!

Ye Wudao caught the underlying message in the Family Head’s words and spoke, "Relocate. The Xia family should move to North Liang. With our hundred thousand Northern King Hall brothers to back you up, there is no need to worry!"

"Now, moving is the only option left for us," the Family Head of the Xia family agreed heavily.

Ye Wudao laughed, "Family Head Xia, rest assured, the Northern King Hall will not shortchange the Xia family! All the resources needed for your martial artists’ cultivation will be provided by the Northern King Hall!"

Hearing this promise from Ye Wudao, the Family Head of the Xia family immediately turned sorrow into joy, saying excitedly, "Good, that’s very good! Wuwei, we should not delay and move today!"

"Alright!" Ye Wudao nodded.

Just then, the voice of the Ghost Doctor came from outside; "Little Ye Zi, stop dawdling! The royal family is selecting a son-in-law today, and if you don’t get going, someone else will snatch your wife away!"

Ye Wudao quickly stood up and said, "Coming!"

"Brother Wudao, I want to go see Sister Yueli," Xia Shiqi said.

"Alright." Ye Wudao nodded.

"Dad, you guys move the house; I also want to go to the royal family!" Xia Wuwei suggested.

"You rascal!" The Family Head of the Xia family said with a smile, "Go ahead."

Soon, Ye Wudao and his party left the Xia residence and headed towards the royal family.

As Dragon Country’s only top-tier family, a behemoth that commands all other noble families and clans, the royal family has been living on the eastern side of Capital City for generations. Spanning hundreds of miles, it possesses a magnificent complex of ancient buildings.

Outside the royal family.

A protective moat separated the royal family from the outside world, symbolizing the pinnacle of noble families.

Nearly three hundred thousand martial artists gathered outside the moat, and their numbers kept growing!

It was said that the royal family’s selection of a son-in-law not only created a stir within Dragon Country but even spread abroad!

Many foreign powers and overseas martial artists, and even some of the royal families of other nations sent their prodigies, all in the hopes of winning the beauty’s favor!

At this moment, the gates of the royal city across the moat swung open, and an old man in purple brocade walked out, announcing in a nasally, duck-like voice, "The royal family begins its son-in-law selection today! All martial artists from across the world, please enter the city in an orderly manner!"

As he spoke, four massive bridges rose from the moat, each more splendid than the last.

"I never imagined that in my lifetime I would be able to enter the royal family and get a glimpse of their ranks!"

"Let’s hurry inside!"

"Get a good spot!"

Many martial artists went crazy, rushing towards the four bridges. Many headed for the main bridge, only to be repelled by an invisible force before reaching it and thrown violently into the moat.

In the moat were raised giant crocodiles; many martial artists who fell in were devoured in moments.

The crowd was astonished!

Meanwhile, amidst the shock of the surrounding crowd, Ye Wudao and his companions, blending with the crowd, were equally stunned by this scene.

"It seems we can’t step onto that main bridge!" the people from the Northern King Hall murmured in confusion.

The Ghost Doctor, with hands clasped behind his back, explained lightly, "These four bridges are the Copper Bridge, Silver Bridge, Gold Bridge, and the central Dragon Bridge! The Dragon Bridge, also known as the King Bridge, is only for the nine hereditary kings of Dragon Country, or martial artists who have reached the level of War King. It’s a symbol of status and power!"

"I see!" the Northern King Hall’s people nodded in understanding.

Soon, nearly a hundred thousand martial artists headed towards the neighboring Copper Bridge, with some War Sect masters walking towards the Silver Bridge.

Some top-tier War Spirit masters were entering the Gold Bridge nearby, symbolizing their status and provoking the envy of many.

It was then that a rough voice came through, "Out of the way, Lord Lin Wang has arrived!"

All eyes turned to see dozens of fierce-looking burly men shoving the surrounding martial artists aside, as a middle-aged man in a purple python robe strode forward with an imposing presence and a powerful aura.

"That’s Lin Wang, rank five among the nine hereditary kings of Dragon Country!"

"Lin Wang is here!"

Lin Wang stood with his hands behind his back, walking confidently towards the central Dragon Bridge as the hundred thousand martial artists around him looked on with envy.

"Ah, to walk on that Dragon Bridge just once in my lifetime would be wonderful!"

"Stop dreaming, are you even worthy?"

On the other side of the moat, the royal family’s steward hurriedly said, "Lord Lin Wang, please come this way!"

"Mmm." Lin Wang nodded.

As Lin Wang crossed the King Bridge, another tall figure in purple barged in, daringly stepping onto it as well.

"It’s Thunder Hand—Lei Kun!"

"That’s a veteran War King powerhouse!"

"Lei brother, don’t be in such a hurry, wait for me!" Just then, another voice could be heard, belonging to a refined scholar with a folding fan in hand.

"Who is he, looking so refined and cultured?"

"That man is known as the Life-Snatching Scholar; don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance, he is ruthlessly cunning in his actions." Recognizing the identity of the genteel scholar, many people gasped in fear.

At that moment, a grey-haired old woman approached the King Bridge with a grin, "Lei Kun, Scholar, you are here too!"

Lei Kun and the Life-Snatching Scholar hurriedly bowed respectfully upon seeing the grey-haired old woman behind them, "We pay our respects to the Thousand-Faced Poison King!"

"Hiss, it’s the infamous Thousand-Faced Poison King!"

"Truly a fearsome figure, with her unparalleled Art of Disguise and unmatched skill in using poisons, she terrifies martial artists around the world!" The scene was in uproar.

With hands still clasped behind his back, the Ghost Doctor asked, "Little Ye Zi, which bridge do you plan to take?"
