"Corpse Clan!" A shriek broke the silence.
"Run! The Corpse Clan is here!"
"Corpse … Corpse Clan. Legend has it that the ancient strong men who died were resurrected as the Corpse Clan. Legend has it that they cannot be killed, no matter what!"
"Impossible! Legend has it that the Corpse Clan only exists in high-grade civilizations. Our Dayu Empire is only a three-star civilization. How could the Corpse Clan appear here?"
"Run! It is said that the Corpse Clan is at least at the Emperor level. We are no match for them! "
To the living creatures of three-star civilizations, the Corpse Clan only existed in ancient books and legends. They were nightmarish existences.
In the blink of an eye, they fled in all directions in panic.
Even Princess Ruchen frowned, her eyes flickering with deep shock.
She never expected that the Corpse Race would actually sneak into her team.
Was the Corpse Clan plotting something?
Judging from Su Yu's tone, even the so-called Corpse Emperor had appeared.
The twenty people who were consumed by fear fled in panic, causing the scene to descend into chaos.
Amidst the chaos, Yue Shanshan's eyes flickered, and she scuttled into the crowd.
With a flash, she launched a sneak attack on Princess Ruchen from behind.
When she saw the situation spiraling out of control, she had a bad feeling. Just as she was about to stop the crowd, she was unexpectedly attacked from behind.
"Hundred Flowers of Spring Breeze!" Princess Ruchen's reaction was not slow. Her body dispersed into hundreds of flowers, which scattered in all directions.
Yue Shanshan's lips curled up. She reached out with her right hand and touched one of the inconspicuous flowers.
Humph!
With a soft snort, a figure as small as a speck of dust suddenly flew out from the inconspicuous flowers.
The speck of dust was none other than Princess Ruchen!
There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her whole body was bright red. It seemed that she had been injured by a great force.
"Thank you for protecting me along the way!" Yue Shanshan laughed coldly. She flew over and grabbed Princess Ruchen's shoulder.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When Su Yu caught up, Princess Ruchen was already in her hands.
The sharp blades all over Yue Shanshan's body rotated uniformly, sticking closely to Princess Ruchen's skin. She could slice Princess Ruchen into countless pieces with a single movement.
Su Yu flew over with his sword, landing a few thousand feet away from them. He frowned slightly.
Taking hostages? It was indeed a little tricky.
Of course, he could charge over directly, not caring about Princess Ruchen's safety. After all, he had the special ability to revive the dead.
However, it was better not to expose this ability in front of everyone.
"Su, if you dare to follow me, kill her immediately!" Yue Shanshan stared at Su Yu with hatred and slowly retreated.
Seeing that Su Yu did not continue to press him, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He stared at Su Yu and said coldly, "You have ruined the Corpse Emperor's plan. Just you wait, the Corpse Emperor will not let you off. No one in the whole Dayu Empire can save you!"
As he spoke, he seized Princess Ruchen and teleported away.
Su Yu locked onto their auras and chased after them unhurriedly while pondering over her words.
No one in the entire Dayu Empire could save him? Including Dongfang Xia?
Yue Shanshan's words of absolute certainty were not groundless.
Speaking of which, Yue Shanshan had seized Princess Ruchen and fled. After half a day, they had successfully escaped the imperial city and arrived in the wilderness.
In a desolate forest, there was a well-hidden teleportation array.
The formation looked like it had just been set up.
Landing on the formation, Yue Shanshan immediately activated it. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
This formation had been set up in consideration of their escape route if they were to be exposed.
She had not expected to use it so soon.
Princess Ruchen had an uneasy expression. She said carefully, "You are safe now. Can you let me go?"
Yue Shanshan's expression was cold, her lips revealing a savage expression. "Your Highness, when have you ever heard of the people of the Corpse Clan being benevolent?"
Princess Ruchen's face turned pale. Before she could react, Yue Shanshan's sharp blades pierced into her body, ending Princess Ruchen's life. Yue Shanshan's lips curled into a deep hatred. "If you die, Su Yu will have some trouble."
Ding —
Unexpectedly, when her sharp blades pierced Princess Ruchen's body, the technique was blocked by something.
She subconsciously thought that it was Princess Ruchen's protective robe, but when she looked down, she was stunned.
At some point in time, Princess Ruchen's snow-white skin had turned pink.
The sharp blades pierced the pink skin, but were unable to penetrate it.
At the same time, an ice-cold aura suddenly erupted from Princess Ruchen's body.
Princess Ruchen turned her head. Her innocent face no longer had the usual muddle-headedness. Instead, it was filled with deep coldness.
A pink flower petal blossomed between her brows, making her look even more bewitching.
"Who are you?" Yue Shanshan's expression changed greatly. She could clearly feel that Princess Ruchen had changed into a different person!
Princess Ruchen chuckled, but her laughter was strangely ominous. "You forced me out, yet you still ask me who I am. Of course, I am the person who will bestow death upon you."
After she spoke, a large expanse of pink flames gushed out of her body, engulfing Yue Shanshan within.
"Ah! This … This is the Boundless Karmic Flame that can restrain the Corpse Clan! "
After a short period of miserable shrieks, there was a deep silence. Only a mass of pink flames was left on the ground, burning the last of the remains into nothingness.
"Humph! You overestimate yourself! " Princess Ruchen snorted coldly. She looked at the horizon, then waved her sleeves and swept away all the ashes on the ground.
Following that, the coldness on her face disappeared, and her deep eyes regained their lost and muddle-headedness.
Swish!
Su Yu immediately descended and heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that Princess Ruchen was safe and sound.
"Where is she?" Su Yu surveyed the surroundings, and his gaze fell upon the transportation spell on the ground. He furrowed his brows slightly. "Did you prepare for this?"
Princess Ruchen patted her chest with lingering fear. "It was so scary. I thought I was dead for sure."
Su Yu said carelessly, "It doesn't matter even if you died."
Since there was no one here, reviving Princess Ruchen would not attract any attention.
"Ah? What did you say? "Princess Ruchen widened her big, round eyes angrily.
Su Yu's expression became awkward, and he hurriedly corrected himself. "Oh, I mean, it's fine as long as you are safe."
"Humph! I'm not deaf! " Princess Ruchen snorted, then said angrily, "This time, it's all your fault. You failed to kill the corpse, and I almost died because of you."
"Alright, alright, it's my fault. Let's return to the mansion first. The transportation spell might be guarded by the Corpse Clan." Su Yu glanced at the surroundings vigilantly.
Princess Ruchen felt a lingering fear, so she obediently followed Su Yu and left the place.
She did not notice that Su Yu had secretly glanced at the spell on the ground before he left.
A hint of suspicion flickered in the depths of his eyes.
To the Corpse Clan that he had come into contact with, it was difficult to believe that the Corpse Clan would keep their promise and release her.
It was more likely that they would kill Princess Ruchen and turn her into one of their own.
Yet, they had actually released her. This was really unexpected.
Moreover, although the transportation spell seemed to have just been used, Su Yu could feel that there were no spatial fluctuations nearby, which meant that the transportation spell had not been successfully activated.
If that was the case, what about Yue Shanshan?
Why would Princess Ruchen lie?
Su Yu glanced at her seemingly innocent face out of the corner of his eye, and a hint of surprise quietly disappeared.
When they returned to the mansion, Princess Ruchen angrily placed her hands on her waist, and her eyes were wide open as she reprimanded the twenty-odd peak overlords, who were standing in a row and lowering their heads in shame.
"Cowards! A bunch of cowards! You were so scared when you saw the Corpse Clan! You almost killed me because of you! "She wore an exasperated look on her face.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, all of them embarrassed.
"If not for the wise and courageous Sixth Brother, you wouldn't have met the adorable Princess!" Princess Ruchen praised them repeatedly, making them not know whether to laugh or cry. "In any case, your performance this time around has really disappointed me."
"We know our mistakes. Please be magnanimous, Princess!" The crowd pleaded.
Only then did Princess Ruchen feel slightly better. She snorted and said, "Then I will give you a chance to atone for your mistakes. In the ruins of the Great Yu, remember to fight for me! I will now give you the tools to store the nation's fortune. If you can't bring back the nation's fortune that satisfies me, you will suffer! "
After a series of threats, she gave each of them a bag that had a strange formation imprinted on it.
After killing the ancient beast in the ruins, the nation's fortune in the ancient beast's body would leave its body when the ancient beast's life force disappeared. That would be the only chance to collect the nation's fortune.
This special bag was specially made by the royal family, and it was the only tool that could absorb the nation's fortune.
Back at the mansion, Su Yu studied the ruins of the Great Yu as he trained.
The ruins of the Great Yu had a very long history. It could even be traced back to the beginning of the Great Yu Empire hundreds of millions of years ago. Apart from ancient beasts, there were also many rare and exotic objects in the outside world.
The most famous was the Dragon's Beard. It was an essential ingredient for some high-level elixirs, and it was also the favorite of some ancient beasts with the bloodline of the Real Dragon.
This item had never appeared in the outside world, and it was only born in the ruins of the Great Yu.
Many advisors were willing to serve the Princes not only because of the Dao Rain, but also because of the Dragon's Beard.
If they were to be sold in the outside world, they could fetch at least a thousand divine stones each.
If more than ten of them were found, it would be a huge harvest of ten thousand divine stones.
All the Princes had tacitly agreed to let them harvest the Dragon's Beard. As long as they obtained the nation's fortune, the Dragon's Beard would belong to them.
Su Yu did not particularly care about the value of the Dragon's Beard. Now that he had more than two hundred thousand divine stones on hand, he was not lacking in divine stones.
What he wanted was another use of the Dragon's Beard.
It was the favorite of ancient beasts with the bloodline of the Real Dragon!
The bloodline of the Real Dragon … The current Royal Dragon Sword was limited by the thinness of the bloodline of the Real Dragon, and the power it could exert was very limited.
If he could obtain some of the blood of the Real Dragon and further unleash the power of the sword, he believed that his journey in the ruins of the Great Yu would be smoother.
After understanding all this, Su Yu had some preliminary plans and goals.
In the following days, he would mainly focus on improving his abilities.
With a thought, Su Yu pinched two of his fingers together. With a crackling sound, a crescent-shaped, thumb-long space blade appeared between his fingers.
While comprehending the Dao Rain, he had a deeper understanding of the power of space.
