Chapter 1490: Rescue


However, this sword thrust was slightly off its mark, so instead of piercing the zombie, this completely triggered it.


The rotting zombie roared furiously, and several dozen long-necked zombie cranes plummeted from mid-air. They flapped their wings as they attacked the trio.


Duan Siren and Baili Zhen chopped down the heads of two zombie cranes. When they looked up, they saw the zombie actually kicking Qin Susu off the roof, and she tumbled all the way down.


“Roar!” The zombie ordered all the zombie cranes to attack the two of them.


Just as several dozen zombies were about to lunge at them, several arrows whizzed through the air.


The flying arrowheads instantly lodged into the zombie cranes’ skulls.


The zombie roared ferociously at the sky, but before he could jump forward, a cl.u.s.ter of purple flames landed on its body like a shooting star and burnt him into a crisp in a matter of moments.


Duan Yue and Situ Yi flitted up to the rooftop, eliminating the several dozen zombie cranes around them with several slashes of the sword.


Meanwhile, Duan Siren was panting heavily. When she looked up at Duan Yue, she couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Fourth Brother.”


Yet Duan Yue merely swept an indifferent glance at her and did not bother saying anything else.


After he exchanged glances with Situ Yi, they flew down, landing on the steps in front of the main hall.


When Queen Zhao and the others heard the sounds of reinforcements, they opened the doors in a hurry and walked outside one after another.


They saw the crown prince standing straight and tall in a long, black robe, with a jade coronet binding his hair.


He was standing with his back to Queen Zhao and company as he talked with his subordinates in a low voice. He then waved his hand, gesturing for Yu Xiu to investigate the area with his Dragon Saliva Guard.


On the other end, the royal guard commander Hui Feng and his younger brother Hui Fan were also swiftly fighting their way over as they cleared up the remaining zombie cranes along the way.


When Queen Zhao saw that her son had come, her eyes turned red, and she descended the steps quickly.


When Mo Lian turned around, he saw his own mother running over quickly. He thus went up to support his mother. “Royal Mother, you’ve suffered from a fright.”


Queen Zhao quickly shook her head. “I’m fine, I’m fine. Go bring people to look for my daughter-in-law. She had us stay in the main hall, while she ran outside alone. She hasn’t returned since.”


Mo Lian was stunned, and he creased his brows as he quickly turned to look at Ao’ye, who had dashed forward. “What happened?”


“Your Highness, the crown prince consort and this subordinate had gone to the entrance of Yating Court. We had planned to wait there to meet up with Your Highness. Yet who knew that we would encounter an evolved zombie with wings. During the battle, this subordinate suddenly got hit with an unknown source of mystic energy and fainted on the spot.”


Ao’ye quickly knelt down and blamed himself. “This subordinate is useless for not having properly protected the crown prince consort. Will Your Highness please mete out punishment!”


Yet how could Mo Lian have the mind to punish him at this time? He directly turned around and flitted toward the entrance of Yating Court.


Since his young crown prince consort had gone missing at the entrance of Yating Court, then that could only mean one thing: Someone had kidnapped his crown prince consort in the chaos!


He was suddenly fearful.


Could the goal of this drama at Yating Court in reality be this kidnapping?


“Follow him!” Liang Qingqing shouted, and a group of sect disciples with superior fighting ability rushed to the entrance of Yating Court along with the crown prince.


However, just as the crown prince and company arrived at the location where the young crown prince consort had gone missing, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a metal demon mask jumping inside from over the walls with more than three thousand black-clothed people. Without a second word, they rushed at the crown prince’s party and started fighting.
