Chapter 480: Chapter 481: The Ancient Battlefield Opens

Arrogant!

Dominant!

Upon hearing Ye Wudao’s words, those coveting the Beiwang Blade were seething with rage!

The senior elder of the royal clan sitting in the main seat smiled and said, "My young friend truly possesses an overwhelming aura, much like that of the young North King who died prematurely, as the rumors suggest!"

"Thank you for the compliment, but I am certainly not comparable to the young North King!" Ye Wudao replied modestly.

"Hehe, just a word of caution from me! This ancient battlefield is dangerous, and the Ghost Doctor might not be able to protect you!" The senior elder of the royal clan said with a smile, his words laden with a heavy threat.

The Ghost Doctor, being incredibly astute, immediately caught the implicit meaning behind those words and retorted with a cold laugh, "Senior elder of the royal clan, this nephew is all I have. Anyone who wishes to lay a finger on him can try!"

The Ghost Doctor’s words abruptly curbed the malicious intentions of many.

"Although the Beiwang Blade is precious, I certainly do not wish to offend the Ghost Doctor!"

"It is said that not even the top War Kings dare to offend the Ghost Doctor!"

"What top War King, the Ghost Doctor was once a revered War Emperor, only falling to the level of War King due to a serious injury!" a cautious elder spoke softly, stirring shock among those present and altering the way they looked at the Ghost Doctor.

Although there’s only a single character’s difference between War King and War Emperor,

the difference between them is as vast as the heavens and earth!

Even if the Ghost Doctor was once a War Emperor and has now descended to a War King level, he was not someone they could afford to provoke!

"Alright, it’s time to discuss official matters!"

The senior elder of the royal clan scanned the assembly and spoke lightly, "As everyone knows, the ancient battlefield has powerful restrictions! Any War King entering will be firmly suppressed to the level of a first-grade War King!"

What?

Ye Wudao’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he was overjoyed.

His realm was merely at the peak of a third-grade War Spirit!

He was far from reaching the level of a first-grade War King!

For others, the suppression of their realm would be a tremendous weakening!

For him, the absence of a weakening was the greatest enhancement!

The senior elder of the royal clan paused, then said, "But my royal clan is well-versed in the study of the ancient battlefield, and we have spent a considerable amount of money to craft this treasure!"

As he spoke, the senior elder of the royal clan took out a black token from his person.

"What is that?" many asked with curiosity in their eyes.

"This object is the Ban-breaking Order. With this token, although one will still be suppressed upon entering the ancient battlefield, one can still exert a third of their strength!" the senior elder of the royal clan said with a smile.

Gasp!

To be able to exert a third of one’s strength!

The thousands of War King experts present were thrilled, their eyes brimming with intense greed!

"I want it!"

"With this treasure at hand, it’s like having several amulets of protection!"

"Indeed, otherwise, being a formidable fifth-grade War King, I would be suppressed to the level of a first-grade War King! If I encounter someone holding a Ban-breaking Order, even if they were just a common second or third-grade War King trash, my fate would be nothing but to be slaughtered!" said one fifth-grade War King, inciting a heated debate and nods of agreement from the crowd.

The senior elder of the royal clan saw that the atmosphere had been sufficiently stirred up and spoke up, "The quantity of Ban-breaking Orders in my royal clan is limited, with no more than eighteen pieces available—certainly not enough for everyone to have one!"

Just then, one of the kings from the nine different royal families, Liu Wang, arrogantly stood up, "Enough with the nonsense, what qualifications does a bunch of trash have to obtain the Ban-breaking Order!"

"Of course, it’s something only the strong can possess!" another royal clan strongman chimed in.

The senior elder of the royal clan smiled and said, "If you desire the Ban-breaking Order from my royal clan, there is a prerequisite condition!"

The crowd showed no objection!

As the saying goes, he who takes up the sword shall perish by the sword, and he who eats a man’s food sings his praises!

For such a precious treasure, there must be conditions!

"What condition, please speak freely, senior elder of the royal clan!" many said in unison.

"I need to enter into a contract with you all, once you receive this token, you must assist my royal clan! All actions must be coordinated with the royal clan!" the senior elder of the royal clan said.

Hearing the senior elder’s words, many strong individuals hesitated.

Obtaining the Ban-breaking Order was akin to selling themselves to the royal clan!

The senior elder of the royal clan smiled and said, "Everyone, please rest assured, my royal clan does not covet the treasures in your possession! We only require your assistance when necessary!"

Hearing this, many strong individuals who had been on edge finally relaxed.

"Then what is there to hesitate about?"

"I’ll take it!" several eighth-grade War Kings spoke up.

Soon, the strong individuals made contracts with the royal clan, and they all obtained the Ban-breaking Order, overjoyed beyond expectation.

"Now, there are three Ban-breaking Orders left, I wonder if Brother Ghost Doctor and the other two are interested?" the senior elder of the royal clan held the Ban-breaking Order in his hand, smiling and looking towards the Ghost Doctor.

"Not needed!" the Ghost Doctor firmly refused.

"Hehe, Brother Ghost Doctor is highly capable, naturally not in need! You might not consider for yourself, but what about considering for your ’nephew’?" the senior elder of the royal clan said with a veiled threat.

"No need for the senior elder of the royal clan to remind me! Let’s go!" the Ghost Doctor turned and left.

"To think that a mere Ban-breaking Token would make this old man serve the royal clan, in your dreams!" Zhou Tai said bluntly with a cold laugh.

"Exactly, I’ve never liked being under someone else’s roof!" the Third Snake Master said arrogantly.

Just as Ye Wudao was about to leave, Xiong Yue, who was holding a Ban-breaking Order, said with a sneer, "You little beast, you ruined one of my hands! I haven’t forgotten that debt!"

Ye Wudao looked at Xiong Yue and said indifferently, "Don’t worry, I’ll remember your head too!"

"You, you, you!" Xiong Yue was infuriated, his face ashen.

The crowd watched as the Ghost Doctor and his two companions left.

The Qin family’s Great Elder said with icy eyes, "I feel something’s off about that Ghost Doctor’s nephew!"

"I also think so. How could the Beiwang Blade be so easily obtained by an unknown brat?" Another powerful figure agreed.

The royal family’s Great Elder looked sinister as he coldly said, "This child’s identity is suspicious. There are rumors that Ye Wudao did not truly die in the Tomb of the North King. Perhaps, this child is Ye Wudao!"

Whoosh!

This statement caused a huge stir!

"Is he Ye Wudao?"

"It’s a possibility!"

"Otherwise, who could get the Beiwang Blade?" Many martial artists discussed.

"Silence!" The royal family’s Great Elder spoke up.

The scene instantly fell silent.

With a look of malice in his eyes, the royal family’s Great Elder coldly continued, "No matter who he is, the Beiwang Blade must be obtained by our royal family! Gentlemen, you should know what to do without me instructing you, right?"

All the powerful figures at the scene exchanged glances, clearly understanding.

"The royal family’s Great Elder can rest assured. Since we have taken the Ban-breaking Order, we will naturally handle this matter properly!"

"Rest assured. By tomorrow, I will present that kid’s head to you!" Several powerful figures holding the Ban-breaking Order sneered.

"Good!" The royal family’s Great Elder showed a satisfied expression.

...

Outside.

Boom!

A heaven-shattering and earth-quaking sound came; the valley actually cracked open, revealing a huge mysterious passage!

In an instant, innumerable martial artists looked over.

"Damn, it’s the ancient battlefield passage!"

"The ancient battlefield has opened!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of martial artists crazily rushed into the ancient battlefield.

"Brother Ghost Doctor, the ancient battlefield has opened!" Zhou Tai said excitedly.

The Ghost Doctor’s eyes also rarely showed excitement as he said, "Let’s go!"

Ye Wudao was curious as he headed to the ancient battlefield for the first time.

Following the passage of the ancient battlefield, he walked all the way to the end.

This place was a peculiar area, where the sky above was shrouded in thick grey clouds that blocked the sun’s rays.

The ground around was charred earth, barren of vegetation, filled with desolation, decay, desolation, and also emanating a strong aura of killing intent!

This place could be called a forbidden zone of life!

Furthermore, a supremely powerful force was suppressing the realms of all martial artists who entered the ancient battlefield.

"Bad, my realm has been suppressed to the level of a first-rank Battle King!"

"Me too..." Many Battle Kings felt their own realms being suppressed and were quite uncomfortable.

"Brother Ghost Doctor, Three Snakes, and I have been suppressed to the level of a first-rank Battle King; perform that technique on us!" Zhou Tai said.

"Alright!" The Ghost Doctor nodded, took out several ghost needles, and swiftly pierced them into the two men.

"Ah!"

"Ah!" Zhou Tai and Three Snakes grimaced in pain.

Soon, the two of them actually radiated the aura of a fifth-rank Battle King!

"What’s this?" Ye Wudao said in surprise.

"I used the Ghost Gate Needle Technique to help them resist the ancient battlefield’s suppression, but it comes at a great cost to oneself, instantly reducing life expectancy by ten years!" said the Ghost Doctor.

Hiss!

Ten years of life!

Ye Wudao took in a sharp breath.

Zhou Tai and the other man grinned, "A mere ten years of life is nothing!"

"Having the strength of a fifth-rank Battle King in the ancient battlefield is enough!"

Holding the ghost needles, the Ghost Doctor turned his gaze to Ye Wudao and said somberly, "Do you want a needle too?"

"I certainly do not!" Ye Wudao quickly shook his head.

Just then, a shocking voice rang out, "Look, it’s the royal family’s Holy Maiden!"

What?

Yueli!

Ye Wudao hurriedly followed the gaze...
