Chapter 46: A Desperate Situation

A notification sounded in Nie Chen’s mind: “Temporary mission issued: eliminate three Opening Profound Realm cultivators. Mission reward: 3 skill points.”

Nie Chen had just walked out of the intersection when he heard the voice in his mind.

Three Opening Profound Realm cultivators? How could such powerful individuals be in this remote area?

Was it because of… her?

Nie Chen quickly turned around and used his stealth technique to hide his figure, rushing towards another path.

…

On a small path by the forest, Shu Xiangdie was stomping her feet and muttering to herself: “Feeling down? No way, it’s just that the weather is bad today, that’s all.”

After speaking, she looked up at the clear blue sky and felt a bit embarrassed.

However, Shu Xiangdie was determined to make a decision.

She no longer wanted the book “Dao Companion” that she had read since childhood, and she didn’t want to see Nie Chen again.

Not even once!

If she saw him again, she would be a puppy!

From now on, she would be like Empress Qingyue, steadfast in her heart and refusing to interact with any men.

Empress Qingyue could do it, and so could she!

With a firm determination, Shu Xiangdie’s footsteps quickened.

However, as she approached a dense forest, she suddenly stopped.

The forest was quiet, but it seemed to be hiding a killing intent.

Although it was subtle, Shu Xiangdie caught it with her eyes.

Her gaze turned cold, and she said: “Come out, I know you’re hiding in there.”

“Haha, you’re indeed the Third Princess, the most gifted person in the Imperial Court,” a voice said.

Three figures emerged from the forest, their voices sharp and unpleasant.

“What are you doing here, Di Puze?” Shu Xiangdie asked, her eyes icy cold.

The leader of the three figures was Di Puze, the vice chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace.

Di Puze smiled wickedly: “Third Princess, don’t pretend to be ignorant. You know why I’m here.”

“You’re loyal to the First Princess, Shu Han,” Shu Xiangdie said, gritting her teeth.

Her sister had been trying to kill her for a long time.

In the past, Shu Xiangdie was protected by the Emei Sect, but now she was alone.

The three cultivators in front of her were all Opening Profound Realm experts, far surpassing her own strength.

Shu Xiangdie knew she couldn’t defeat them head-on.

She took a step back, but Di Puze’s subordinate was too fast.

He blocked her way and punched her, sending her flying into the air.

Shu Xiangdie tried to use her spiritual energy to turn her body, but she felt a strange restriction.

Her body was trapped in mid-air, unable to move.

A golden thread had been set up in advance, and it was now binding her.

Shu Xiangdie struggled, but the thread was too strong.

Suddenly, a small sword flew out of her pocket and cut her palm.

Blood flowed out, and a dragon’s aura began to form.

However, a golden jade card appeared and suppressed the dragon’s aura.

Di Puze sneered: “Third Princess, your plan has failed.”

“You have the Imperial Court’s true dragon bloodline, but you can’t summon the five elements true dragon.”

“Today, you will die here.”

Shu Xiangdie’s face was revealed as the golden thread cut through her disguise.

Her real face was even more beautiful than her disguise.

However, her eyes were filled with despair.

She had wanted to follow Empress Qingyue’s footsteps and join the Emei Sect, but now she was about to die.

Regret? Sadness?

Shu Xiangdie felt empty, like there was something she still wanted to do.

But it was too late.

“Not bad, Third Princess,” Di Puze said, his voice full of mockery.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have that treasure anymore.”

“Otherwise, with your beautiful face, no man in the world could resist you.”

“But now, please die here.”

Di Puze took out a blood-red dagger and approached Shu Xiangdie.

The dagger was covered in blood-red tumors, making people feel nauseous.

Just as Di Puze was about to kill Shu Xiangdie, a sword light fell from the sky.

Di Puze quickly retreated, but the ground where he stood was destroyed.

“Who is it?” Di Puze exclaimed.

A figure emerged from the flames, and Di Puze knew that he was in trouble.
