My wife who comes from a wealthy family
Chapter 481 - 482: Robbed

Chapter 481: Chapter 482: Robbed

She was clad in white, her face cold as ice, her eyes like a galaxy, exuding an aura of cold and ethereal beauty.

Protected by a large number of royal family protectors, she was only to be admired from afar, not to be desecrated!

"Wow, is this the sacred woman of the royal family, known as the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"Truly a peerless beauty!"

"If I could have the sacred woman in this lifetime, I would be willing to die a happy man..."

"Forget it, people like us, even if we were reborn ten times, we wouldn’t have such a chance..." some martial artists discussed amongst themselves.

The physician by the side saw Ye Wudao staring at Su Yueli intently, and laughed, "Missing your wife?"

"Cough..." Ye Wudao coughed dryly, then said with a serious face, "Let’s go!"

"As long as you are strong enough, no one can take her away from you!" the physician patted Ye Wudao on the shoulder.

Zhou Tai, who was by the side, urged, "Captain, let’s set out quickly and pass through the first region!"

"The first region?" Ye Wudao looked curious.

Zhou Tai explained, "The ancient battlefield is divided into four major regions, which are the outermost first region, the second region, the third region, and the final fourth region. It gets more dangerous the deeper you go."

The Three-Snakes Priest added from the side, "Actually, there is also the legendary fifth region of the ancient battlefield, commonly known as the forbidden area. In our team, only the captain has entered the forbidden area."

Forbidden area?

Ye Wudao curiously stared at the physician.

The physician’s expression became solemn, "The forbidden area is very dangerous, fraught with crisis at every turn. A single misstep can lead to death, and it was because I ventured there once that I nearly perished. It caused my War Emperor cultivation to fall to the level of War King."

This was the first time Ye Wudao had heard the physician talk about his own strength, and he couldn’t help but be shocked.

So the physician once was a mighty War Emperor!

"You climb back up from where you fall!" Ye Wudao consoled.

The physician looked at him with approval, saying, "This is the reason I brought you to the ancient battlefield."

The group soon arrived at the outer region.

Ahead was a blood-red forest, filled with the dangerous and murderous atmosphere.

"What is this?" Ye Wudao approached the forest, instinctively feeling the danger.

"This is the Blood-Red Forest of the first region. There are fierce beasts lurking inside that can devour dozens or even hundreds of people in a single bite! However, the real danger is actually other people! Because the Blood-Red Forest can mask one’s presence, allowing stealthy assassinations without alerting anyone. If you have enemies, they would definitely choose to strike in the Blood-Red Forest!" Zhou Tai said.

Ye Wudao’s eyes sharpened as he stared at a stone beside him, behind which a stealthy figure was hiding.

"This guy has been watching me for quite a while," Ye Wudao said.

"What else to think about? Definitely someone after you, who could resist someone carrying a Beiwang Blade so openly in public?" the physician joked with a laugh.

The scene shifted to beside that huge rock.

A man in black picked up a communication device, his face filled with excitement as he said, "The target has entered the outskirts of the Blood-Red Forest, get ready for the ambush!"

Before he could finish speaking, a faint laugh came from behind him; "You’ve had a hard time following all this way, haven’t you?"

Who?

The man in black turned his head, only to see Ye Wudao staring at him, his eyes filled with a teasing light.

"You, how did you discover me?" The man in black’s face changed drastically.

"If a fly buzzes around someone’s ear, do you think I wouldn’t notice?" Ye Wudao said lightly.

"Go to hell!" Realizing that his identity had been exposed, the man in black pulled out a dagger and viciously stabbed at Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao grabbed the dagger with one hand and squeezed hard with his fingers.

"Crack!" In one move, the dagger broke.

"How could this be?" Before the man in black could react, Ye Wudao threw a punch right into his head.

Bang!

Blood spattered on the rock, and the man in black’s body slowly fell into a pool of blood.

At that moment, voices came continuously from the communication device; "Hello, hello, where is the target?"

Ye Wudao picked up the communication device and said indifferently, "Flies, be ready to meet your deaths!"

With those words, Ye Wudao tossed down the communication device and crushed it with his foot.

"It’s taken care of!" Ye Wudao approached with unruffled calm.

"Heh heh, that was just a fly. I’m afraid there are quite a few people in the Blood-Red Forest who want your life!" the Ghost Doctor said with a chuckle and a tease.

"No matter how many flies come, I’ll swat them all!" Ye Wudao declared confidently.

...

Inside the Blood-Red Forest.

Under the leadership of Xiong Hai, thousands of Martial Artists were hidden among the surrounding trees, blending in perfectly with their surroundings.

He was the blood brother of Xiong Yue, a mighty Seventh Grade Battle King, currently serving as a senior elder in the royal elders’ council.

"Second Brother, our scout has been discovered by the target!" a subordinate reported.

"Useless!"

Xiong Hai cursed, his eyes then turning icy as he said, "No matter, this passage is the only route through the Blood-Red Forest! The target will definitely appear! Remember, when we engage in combat later, attack the target with full force!"

"What if Zhou Tai and San She ascend to join the battle?" a subordinate asked.

"If those two dare to cause trouble, just kill them. Do as Big Brother said, and try not to provoke the Ghost Doctor!" Xiong Hai said, furrowing his brows.

"Boss, why?"

"That Ghost Doctor, no matter how powerful, will have his cultivation suppressed upon entering the ancient battlefield! We have over a thousand men, what do we have to fear from him? Why not just get rid of him altogether?" a man challenged.

Slap!

Xiong Hai’s hand struck the face of the man who had spoken provocatively, and he rebuked sharply, "Fool! My elder brother followed the Ghost Doctor into the ancient battlefield ten years ago and witnessed his terrifying abilities! Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not provoke the Ghost Doctor!"

"Understood!" the thousands of men ambushed within the Blood-Red Forest nodded in acknowledgment.

On the outer edge of the Blood-Red Forest.

No sooner had the Ghost Doctor and his party entered when they heard a series of intense fighting noises all around.

A few dozen Martial Artists, resembling bandits, were intercepting those who wished to pass through the Blood-Red Forest.

The leader, a one-eyed dragon of a man, declared arrogantly, "Hand over the toll fee!"

"What do you mean?" some Martial Artists asked.

"Just hand over your weapons and anything valuable on you, and our One-Eye Brother will let you leave!"

"Whoever dares to disobey, kill without mercy!"

Some of the Martial Artists who had just entered the Blood-Red Forest, seeing the overpowering numbers, threw down their weapons and complied meekly.

Others, full of hot blood and defiance, refused to surrender. A burly man, furious, exclaimed, "I am a Third Grade Battle King, I’ll fight you all!"

"All together now!" cued the one-eyed dragon to his companions, and quickly, seven or eight bandits swung their blades in chaos.

"Ahh!" The Martial Artist cried out in agony as he was hacked to death by the indiscriminate slashing.

"What does being a Third Grade Battle King mean here? In the ancient battlefield, dragons must coil and tigers must lie down!" the one-eyed dragon boasted, "Anyone who refuses to pay the toll, this is your fate!"

"We’ll pay!"

"I’ll pay!"quickly, several lone Martial Artists began handing over all they owned.

However, the moment they handed over all they had, their path through the ancient battlefield was completely blocked.

"Big Brother, in just a short while, we’ve made what would take decades to earn outside!" one bandit exclaimed excitedly.

The one-eyed dragon said with pride, "Stick with Big Brother, and you can eat nine meals in three days!"

Just then, an excited subordinate proclaimed, "Big Brother, here comes more prey!"

The one-eyed dragon looked up to see the Ghost Doctor and his group approaching. He placed his knife in front of him and said with a full face of brutal scars, "This mountain is mine, this tree I plant, if you want to pass through..."

The Ghost Doctor and his companions exchanged glances and all were flabbergasted.

"I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would be robbed on the road..." the Ghost Doctor couldn’t help but quip.

Zhou Tai stepped forward and said, "Hey, you’re robbing a War Emperor level big shot, you better think about the consequences."

"What crap about War Emperor level, trying to fool ghosts here?" the one-eyed dragon laughed boisterously, "Brothers, do they look like the War Emperor-level big shots from the legends?"

"These people are all crooked melons and split dates, not one of them looks the part!"

"Boss, con artists these days are really something, they’re even trying to scam us bandits," a man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks commented.

"Don’t say you’re at War Emperor level, even if you were my parents it wouldn’t work!" the one-eyed dragon said fiercely, "If you don’t hand over the toll fee, you few swindlers won’t leave here alive!"
