Chapter 744: Chapter 745: The Holy Court’s Reaction

"Don’t get too happy just yet, as the Holy Court, being the foremost power in the West, has endured such great humiliation and will certainly not let this go!"

"Yes, I think that Dragon Country powerhouse named Ye Wudao will definitely not escape disaster..." many Western powerhouses whispered to each other.

...

Holy Court.

Vatican City.

This is the smallest city in the West, with a population of less than one hundred thousand, but it is the most powerful entity among nearly a hundred Western countries!

This city, the oldest in the West, has a history of ten thousand years, filled with vastness and sanctity.

At the center of Vatican City stands a grand, venerable palace with walls speckled with rust, imbued with the historical vicissitudes brought by the ages.

Yet, this place is the heart of the West, the ultimate sacred land for billions of Holy Court devotees!

The master of this city, seated here, is the strongest in the West—the Pope!

Night.

Heavy snow fell.

The Pope himself ordered for eighteen cardinals to come for a discussion.

You should know that each cardinal is a warrior saint powerhouse with tens of thousands of subordinates, each a formidable leader in their own right!

Even, some had seen Sky Knights riding dragons appear, which had once shocked the entire Vatican City.

All signs indicated that the Holy Court was extremely angered by the recent devastating defeat!

Soon, a message came from the Holy Court.

Shocking the West!

...

Vampire clan.

Brukh family.

A grand banquet was being held, with Ye Wudao naturally the center of attention, getting plied with copious amounts of alcohol by the old Duke and all the other vampire powerhouses.

Ye Wudao had strong willpower, struggling not to get drunk.

Yan Donglai and the other two beside him were already reeling drunk, especially Li Dagang, Lei Fen, and others, who were even arm in arm with the old Duke, saying, "I won’t be drunk if the snowflakes aren’t, and I won’t fall if the vampires don’t!"

After saying this line, Li Dagang and the others collapsed in drunkenness, eliciting roaring laughter all around!

Just then, a vampire scout arrived.

"Report to the old Clan Leader, an urgent matter has arisen!" the scout said nervously.

The old Duke was in a good mood and asked, "What happened?"

"Here’s a wanted order, please have a look..." the vampire scout handed a wanted order to the old Duke.

"Old Duke, drink!" Yan Donglai was just drinking with the old Duke.

As the old Duke held the whiskey, he checked the wanted order, and with just one glance, his body trembled violently, and the whiskey slipped from his hands.

"My God..."

"Old Duke, what’s wrong?"

"What happened?" Yan Donglai, Dugu Zhan, and many other members of the vampire clan asked curiously.

"The Holy Court has placed Mr. Ye on the Western kill list as number seventeen, with a bounty of sixty million Spirit Stones. Once someone is listed in the top twenty of the kill list, they are marked for death!" the old Duke said gravely.

Wow!

The entire room was in an uproar!

"What, the Holy Court has placed Mr. Ye as number seventeen on the kill list!"

"Sixty million Spirit Stones for the bounty!"

"This is a huge issue!"

"Drink, I’m not drunk yet!" Li Dagang rose from the ground, staggering and wanting more to drink but was stopped by Yan Donglai who smacked him hard on the back of his head; "Stop drinking, a serious issue has come up, our junior brother has been placed in the top twenty of the wanted list by the Holy Court."

What?

Li Dagang suddenly sobered up, his face turning pale.

Everyone looked tensely at Ye Wudao.

In contrast, Ye Wudao sat alone on a chair, drinking whiskey as if the wanted notice was for someone else, not him.

"Mr. Ye..." the old Duke couldn’t help saying, "why don’t you return to Dragon Country to avoid the storm?"

"Yes, third brother, being in the top twenty of the Holy See’s kill list is no joke!" Wil couldn’t help saying.

"The Western Holy See will launch a furious retaliation against you, regardless of the cost, even if it means losing all the sanctified fighters, they must eliminate you!"

"Especially the sixty million bounty, which is enough to tempt many Western sanctified fighters!" many members of the blood clan said worriedly.

Ye Wudao took a sip of whiskey and said indifferently, "Since it has come, then let it come."

"My God, Mr. Ye’s mentality is too good, isn’t it?"

"To enter the Holy See’s kill list and still be unaffected?"

"This must be a matter of realm..." many members of the blood clan looked at Ye Wudao with admiration.

The old Duke said with a solemn look, "Is it for Miss Su?"

Ye Wudao nodded, took a sip of his drink, and said, "I came to the West to find her!"

"Mr. Ye, if you trust me, I swear by the name of my blood clan ancestors that I will assist you in finding Miss Su, regardless of the cost," the old Duke said earnestly.

"We of the blood clan will never betray Mr. Ye!" all the strong members of the blood clan spoke up, their faces serious.

"Good, I toast to the old Duke and all of you!" Ye Wudao picked up a bottle of whiskey and, in front of everyone, downed it in one gulp.

"Drink!" the old Duke took a swig of his drink, threw away the bottle, and said, "From this moment on, the Brukh family will suspend all business and communications! Use any connections, powers, at any cost, regardless of consequences, to find news of Miss Su Yueli!"

"As ordered!" all members of the blood clan took the command.

Ye Wudao’s heart warmed; the old Duke did this because he truly considered him a confidant and friend.

Time passed slowly.

Half a month later.

During this time, Ye Wudao and others were constantly cultivating inside the Nine Turns Golden Thunder Tower.

The progress was incredibly fast!

Among them, Li Dagang and Lei Fen were the first to break through to the peak pseudo-saint, just one step away from the sanctified realm.

As for Yan Donglai, he smoothly broke through to the sanctified realm, stepping into the level of true strong personalities!

Neither Dugu Zhan nor Wil wanted to be outdone; both broke through to the sixth order pseudo-saint, catching up in a manner that saw later comers surpassing those ahead.

Ye Wudao then broke through to the second-order pseudo-saint, an astonishing achievement indeed!

After coming out of the Nine Turns Golden Thunder Tower, the old Duke immediately asked to discuss a matter of great importance with Ye Wudao.

In the blood clan’s hall.

"Oh, Li, Lei, you’ve broken through to the peak sanctified state, not bad at all!" the old Duke noticed the change in them and could not help but praise.

"Hehe, it’s nothing to speak of," the two men modestly waved it off.

"My God, Mr. Yan has actually broken through to the sanctified realm, Brother Yan, congratulations!" the old Duke’s gaze turned to Yan Donglai, even changing the form of address to a more familiar one.

Yan Donglai smiled slightly.

"Grandfather, we are here," Wil and the others came over.

"Damn, Wil, Dugu Zhan, you two have actually broken through to the sixth-order pseudo-saint, what kind of medicine did you take?" the old Duke couldn’t believe it, his eyes widened.

You know, before this, Wil and the others were just at the ordinary Emperor of War level.

In just half a month of not seeing each other, they had already broken through to the sixth-order pseudo-saint!

That’s too exaggerated!

"Hehe, it’s all thanks to third brother!" Wil said excitedly.

"All of us depend on him," Yan Donglai and others said.

The old Duke’s gaze turned to Ye Wudao, finding that Ye Wudao gave him a sort of inscrutable feeling, his heart also carrying a hint of respect.

"Old Duke, you suddenly called me, is there something urgent?" Ye Wudao couldn’t help asking.

The old Duke smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, the person you were looking for, our blood clan has found her!"
