Chapter 540: Chapter 541: The Foremost Forbidden Land - Youming Valley

The battle between Ye Wudao and Jiang Hao resounded through Dragon Country!

Although the Jiang royal family tried hard to conceal it, one cannot wrap fire with paper, and the news quickly leaked out.

"Lord Noble from the North truly deserves to be Dragon Country’s strongest king of different surname!"

"Yes, even the mighty young master of the Jiang royal family had five of his Supreme Bones broken and fled in disgrace under the protection of Jiang family warriors!"

"What’s more shameless is that during the battle, the grand young master of Jiang’s royal family had actually signed a fake martial artist life-and-death contract!"

"Poor Lord Noble paid with his life yet still let Jiang Hao escape!"

People murmured and talked.

Meanwhile, at a certain ancient forest in Dragon Country.

The mountains stood imposing and craggy rocks were everywhere, even satellites could not detect it, and it was seldom visited by humans.

"Uncle Jiusha, how much longer?" Su Yueli held Ye Wudao tightly.

"We’re almost there..." Jiusha said, gazing toward a towering and majestic mountain ahead.

This mountain was black, surrounded by strange and eerie black fog, unpredictable and dangerous.

"Yueli, do you see that black mountain ahead?" Jiusha asked.

"I see it," Su Yueli nodded.

"At the end of that black mountain lies the legendary Youming Valley..." Jiusha said.

"Let’s keep going!" Su Yueli urged.

As the proverb goes, running towards the mountain could exhaust a horse to death.

It looked close, but it took them a whole day to reach this strange black mountain.

Fortunately, Su Yueli and Jiusha finally reached the foot of the black mountain.

The place was filled with immense evil spirits, like hell itself, emanating death from every corner.

"My God, there are so many bodies here..." Su Yueli’s pretty face changed as she saw bodies scattered all over the mountain, some even reduced to skeletons.

"These people must have been on the verge of death and had come to Youming Valley seeking a way out, but all failed!" Jiusha said with a heavy gaze; "The evil spirits here are too heavy; even with my strength, I cannot stay in this place for more than an hour, otherwise, the evil spirits will enter my body!"

"Uncle Jiusha, what’s that?" Su Yueli, holding Ye Wudao, looked at a blood-red stele standing on the ground.

The stele was engraved with a sentence.

"This is Netherworld Forbidden Land, living persons should not enter, violators—death!"

"We have arrived at our destination."

"Uncle Jiusha, let’s go in!" Su Yueli said without any hesitation.

"No!" Jiusha shook his head firmly; "Didn’t you see what the stele says? Living persons should not enter, otherwise death! This place is the foremost among Dragon Country’s ten great forbidden areas, where even the mythical hands of Kunlun cannot reach!"

"So what should we do now?" Su Yueli asked.

Jiusha bowed deeply toward the Netherworld Forbidden Land and said; "The junior Jiusha, bringing my nephew here presumptuously to Youming Valley, earnestly pleads for Youming Valley to give him a way to survive!"

Pfft!

Suddenly, Jiusha spat out fresh blood, his complexion turning deathly pale.

"Uncle Jiusha, what’s wrong with you?" Su Yueli asked anxiously.

"Youming Valley does not welcome us..." Jiusha quickly retreated; "Quick, Yueli, put Wudao on the ground!"

"What, put him on the ground? Are we not going to care about anything else?" Su Yueli asked.

"This is Youming Valley!" Jiusha said seriously; "Quickly put him here, whether he can survive depends on his fate now!"

Su Yueli held Ye Wudao and gently placed him on the ground, then bent down and lightly pressed her lips to Ye Wudao’s forehead; "I’ll wait for you..."

"Let’s go!" Jiusha urgently pulled Su Yueli away, not daring to be careless.

Su Yueli kept looking back every few steps, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at Ye Wudao lying on the ground.

"Uncle Jiusha, do you think Ye Wudao can really survive this?" Su Yueli felt anxious inside.

"It all depends on whether he is the chosen one..." Jiusha said.

...

Time flashed by.

A week later.

Ye Wudao lay on the ground, subjected to the wind and sun, with severe livor mortis appearing on his body.

Just then, on the cliffs of the Black Mountain, a beautiful maiden appeared, ethereal like a fairy, svelte in a thin purple dress that accentuated her exquisite figure, especially her long legs in perfect proportion, stirring the imagination.

The maiden carefully stepped on a loose stone with a bamboo basket on her back.

"Miss, my revered ancestor, please go slower, don’t scare me anymore, my heart can’t take it!" A gray-clad old man stood at the foot of the mountain, apparently a faithful butler, his face full of worry.

"Hehe, Grandpa Zhong, I spotted the Dragon Rock flowers, I want to prove to Grandpa that I’m not just a greenhouse flower!"

As the beautiful maiden spoke, she reached to touch a flower in front of her, when suddenly, the loose stone underfoot fell.

"Ah!" The beautiful maiden screamed.

...

It was hard to tell how much time had passed when the beautiful maiden slowly opened her eyes.

"Grandpa Zhong, thank you for saving me!" The beautiful maiden was utterly embarrassed.

"My revered ancestor, can we not do this anymore, my dear? Your precious body is at risk, and though the Dragon Rock flower is valuable, it’s not worth risking your life over!" The honest and straightforward Grandpa Zhong said.

"Hehe, Grandpa Zhong, guess what this is?" The beautiful maiden pulled out a flower.

"Dragon Rock flower!" Grandpa Zhong’s eyes widened, then joyfully he said, "Miss, you did it!"

"Of course!" The beautiful maiden said happily.

"Haha, The master will never expect this. Miss, let’s go back!" Grandpa Zhong said excitedly.

"Yes, let’s." The beautiful maiden smiled gently, placing the Dragon Rock flower into the bamboo basket, and began walking with a lively step.

The old and young pair quickly reached a stone monument.

"Hm, Grandpa Zhong, why is there an extra person here today?" The beautiful maiden bent down, her gaze landing on Ye Wudao lying on the ground.

"Hehe, it seems another dying person sought a chance of survival in Youming Valley, nothing unusual." Grandpa Zhong laughed.

The beautiful maiden bent down and took out a red pill, placing it in his mouth.

"Miss, your heart is truly kind, to treat a dying man so well, even feeding him a Life-Extinguishing Pill!" Grandpa Zhong praised.

"He’s so young to die, must be a poor soul, I hope the Life-Extinguishing Pill lets him reincarnate into a good life!" the beautiful maiden said. Patting her hands, she prepared to get up, cooing, "Grandpa Zhong, I want fish for lunch!"

"Alright, your servant will make it. Whatever Miss likes to eat, your servant loves to cook!" the old man laughed.

"Grandpa Zhong is the best to me, even better than my real grandfather!" The beautiful maiden said, holding the old man’s hand, her eyes fixed on Ye Wudao, her beautiful eyes narrowing.

The Life-Extinguishing Pill that had been placed in Ye Wudao’s mouth was unexpectedly spat out.

"Could it be?" The beautiful maiden quickly turned around and came to Ye Wudao’s side.

"Miss, what is it today, why such concern for a dead man?" the old man curiously asked.

The beautiful maiden crouched down again, placing the Life-Extinguishing Pill back into Ye Wudao’s mouth, her eyes intently fixed on him.

Again, the Life-Extinguishing Pill slowly flowed out of Ye Wudao’s mouth.

Seeing this, the beautiful maiden struck as if by lightning, her lovely face turning pale, she said, "Grandpa Zhong, he’s still alive!"
