Chapter 496: Chapter 497 Su Yueli in Danger

"The captain is gone!" San She mentioned, his face full of tears.

"Lord Zhou Tai, the captain must have been fighting the enemy in the ancient battlefield forbidden zone, he didn’t want me to go and die in vain!" Zhou Tai wiped away his tears, said, "We can’t let the captain down..."

Ye Wudao nodded solemnly, "Let’s set out as well, to the fourth area of the ancient battlefield!"

Soon, Ye Wudao and his group left Blood River and officially arrived at the fourth area.

The fourth area, as far as the eye could see, was a vast expanse of white, bone-chillingly cold, as if the world itself were encased in ice!

"So cold!" San She couldn’t help but shiver.

"Yeah, it’s too cold!" Zhou Tai huddled his body tighter.

"Puh!" Ye Wudao suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face deathly pale.

"Lord Zhou Tai!" Zhou Tai and San She’s expressions changed drastically.

"I’m fine..." Ye Wudao insisted, his body barely holding up, swaying as if about to fall.

"San She, you know a bit of medicine, quickly see what’s wrong with Lord Zhou Tai!" Zhou Tai urged.

"Alright!"

San She immediately checked Ye Wudao’s pulse, his face turning ghostly pale; "No, no good, Lord Zhou Tai has been cursed! This is the rumored Blood Corpse Curse, a curse without solution. In a month at most, Lord Zhou Tai will turn into a blood corpse. It must have been that damned Blood River Old Demon who cursed Lord Zhou Tai before his death!"

"What?" Zhou Tai’s face changed dramatically.

"Puh!" Ye Wudao spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes darkened, and he collapsed onto the ground.

...

Ye Wudao didn’t know how much time had passed when he slowly opened his eyes.

"Where is this?" Ye Wudao curiously looked around, finding himself in a cave while outside the weather was icy cold, fierce winds carrying a blizzard.

"Eh, there’s a letter..." Ye Wudao noticed a letter placed in front of him and immediately picked it up to read.

"Lord Zhou Tai, we have temporarily sealed the curse in your body with our power, it can only hold for a week! We heard that an ancient tree called the Dragon Spirit Tree grows in the forbidden zone of the ancient battlefield, which can cleanse the Blood Corpse Curse in your body! The Crazy Wind Eagle King knows its location. Please forgive our sudden departure!"

Ye Wudao’s hands trembled as he held the letter; "Zhou Tai, Uncle Snake, Bald Eagle, why would you risk your lives for this! I’ve already lost the old ghost, I don’t want to lose you too!"

Just then, a noise of weapons clashing came from outside the cave.

Someone was fighting!

Ye Wudao’s ears perked up, and his eyes shifted towards the Corpse Puppet King.

"Corpse Puppet King, stay inside the cave, don’t let anyone come in!" Ye Wudao instructed.

The Corpse Puppet King nodded dumbly.

Ye Wudao left the cave and saw that not far away, a fierce battle was underway.

Hundreds of masked assassins in black were surrounding a stunningly beautiful woman, who had a perfect melon-seed face that could topple cities, wearing a white dress stained with blood.

Ye Wudao focused his eyes, his pupils constricted; "Yueli!"

In front of Su Yueli, there was a charming woman in purple, with phoenix eyes, exuding a bewitching aura.

"Tsk tsk, Royal Family Holy Maiden, even you have days like this, huh? Being injured doesn’t feel good, does it?" the charming woman mocked.

"Puh, Long Zi, aren’t you afraid the Great Elder will find out by doing this?" Su Yueli held a long sword, blood trickling from her red lips.

"Heh, do you think I would dare to do this without the Great Elder’s permission?" Long Zi replied arrogantly; "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the Great Elder of the Royal Family is my father!"

Su Yueli’s beautiful eyes darkened.

"Before you came, the position of the Royal Family Holy Maiden was supposed to be mine, but, unfortunately, it was snatched away by you, an awful outsider! From the moment you entered the Royal Family, I’ve hated you!" Long Zi’s eyes were filled with resentment.

"Your hatred for me isn’t just because I became the Royal Saintess, is it?" Su Yueli retorted.

"Exactly! Your beauty, your figure, your very existence, even your breathing—everything is wrong in my eyes!" Long Zi hissy with jealousy.

Ye Wudao listened to Long Zi’s words, feeling disgusted inside.

This woman’s jealousy is truly terrifying!

"If you want to replace me as the Royal Saintess, I can step aside, as I’ve never been interested in this so-called Royal Saintess title," Su Yueli stated indifferently.

The more indifferent and unconcerned Su Yueli acted toward the Saintess position, the more it infuriated Long Zi.

"Shut up! I don’t need your pity! I will kill you and take back my glory!"

A fierce expression flashed across Long Zi’s face, then she spoke contemptuously, "Besides, you’re just a lowly outsider who happened to get lucky and become the Royal Saintess. Did you really think you could lord over me forever?"

"Miss, kill her!"

"Let’s quickly report back to the Great Elder!" some black-clothed assassins spoke up.

"Attack!" Long Zi ordered.

"Kill!"

In an instant, dozens of royal assassins charged at Su Yueli.

Su Yueli swung her sword.

The royal assassins fell one by one.

"Onward!" Long Zi urged impatiently.

Many royal assassins frantically attacked Su Yueli, but all fell to her sword.

"Damn it, the Ban-breaking Order my father gave Su Yueli was clearly a fake, how can she still possess such incredible power?" Long Zi was puzzled.

A burly one-armed man spoke up, "Miss, even though the Royal Saintess only has the strength of a Fifth Rank Battle King, her unique trait cannot be suppressed by the ancient battlefield, naturally making her formidable."

"Damn it!" Long Zi’s face showed a mix of envy and jealousy as she gritted her teeth, "Xiong Yue, kill her for me!"

"Miss, might I enjoy her before killing the Saintess? I’ve heard the Royal Saintess is cold by nature and still a virgin," Xiong Yue said lecherously.

"Whatever you want, just hurry up!" Long Zi turned away, visibly displeased.

"Hehe, thank you for your generosity, Miss!" Xiong Yue approached Su Yueli excitedly.

"Royal Saintess, just relax and don’t resist, I’ll take good care of you!" Xiong Yue approached Su Yueli with a sleazy smile.

"Don’t come any closer!" Su Yueli pointed her sword at Xiong Yue, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her face pale.

She knew, with her current strength, she couldn’t possibly be a match for Xiong Yue!

"Royal Saintess, let’s have some fun!" Xiong Yue, excited, rubbed his hands together, rushing towards Su Yueli like a starving tiger.

Su Yueli thrust her sword at Xiong Yue.

Bang!

Xiong Yue, with his immense strength, easily caught Su Yueli’s sword. His large hand was about to grasp Su Yueli’s swan-like neck as he lecherously said, "Royal Saintess, you’re mine now!"

No good!

Su Yueli’s complexion turned pale.

Just in the nick of time, a fist, like a cannonball, smashed into Xiong Yue’s face.

"Who dares touch my woman?"
