Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 408 406: The Powerful Long Family Clan

Meanwhile, the old crone had already spread the news that the Empress was going to Longzhou for the ancestral ceremony, and the entire Jiuzhou was boiling over with excitement.

Officials from places such as Lanzhou naturally worried about the Empress's safety, while others who wanted to overthrow the Jiuzhou Empire were thinking about how to seize this opportunity to kill the Empress.

Longzhou, State Mansion's main hall.

The Blood Demon Envoy, Long Yuyan, Long Yuxiang, Dominating Blade Sect's Holy Master, Saber Sect's Holy Master, along with the various Martial Emperors of Longzhou and three Half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm, all gathered here.

Long Yusheng swept his eyes over everyone and said indifferently, "Tomorrow, the Empress is coming to Longzhou to perform the ancestral ceremony."

"At this time, the Empress dares to leave the Imperial City to come to Longzhou for the ancestral ceremony?"

Long Yuyan slightly knitted his brows, showing a hint of surprise and confusion on his face.

Long Yuxiang also asked with confusion, "Big brother, didn't you say that that little girl Long Yufei had already come to Longzhou?"

Long Yusheng smiled and said, "Indeed, Long Yufei is in Longzhou. I thought she came to replace the Empress at the ancestral ceremony, but it seems that is not the case now."

"Then why is she in Longzhou?"

Long Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "I heard the two brats are Long Yufei's adopted son and daughter, could she be here for those two brats?"

Long Yusheng shook his head and said, "That's unlikely. Long Yufei arrived in Longzhou even earlier than those two brats. If I'm not mistaken, Long Yufei must be here for her."

"Who?"

Long Yuxiang asked curiously.

Long Yusheng smiled and said, "The Jiuzhou Empire's Empress Dowager, the late Emperor's consort."

"The Empress Dowager? Wasn't she dead?"

Everyone was shocked.

Long Yusheng shook his head and said, "I thought she was dead, too, but she suddenly appeared in Longzhou not long ago, wanting to kill me to avenge the late Emperor. Thankfully, with the combined effort of three Half-step Martial Gods, she was suppressed and locked up in Longzhou Dungeon. That thing inside her is really hard to deal with."

As he spoke, his eyes filled with wonder. The late Emperor's power was indeed terrifying, having suppressed her alone; his might must have already reached that of a Half-step Martial God, and with the assistance of the Imperial Jade Seal, he was probably no weaker than a Martial God.

Fortunately, the late Emperor spent a great deal of energy suppressing that thing; otherwise, the medicine he had sent might not have been effective.

"So, Long Yufei came to save her mother?"

Long Yuyan furrowed his brows in thought for a moment before asking, "And those two brats, why would they come to Longzhou? Are they also here to save the Empress Dowager?"

"And the Empress, risking so much to perform the ancestral ceremony, could it also be to save the Empress Dowager?" Long Yuxiang also said gravely.

Long Yusheng laughed and said, "Regardless of their purposes, I have already laid a trap in both the dungeon and the ancestral land. This time, we will capture them all in one fell swoop."

The Blood Demon Envoy, who had been silent up until now, suddenly spoke, "Since the Empress will be coming to Longzhou, the Imperial City will be undefended. We could split our forces; you deal with the Empress and her group while I lead men to break into the Imperial Palace to rescue the Ancient Blood Demon."

Long Yusheng's eyes flickered as he looked at the Blood Demon Envoy and said, "Blood Demon Envoy, from my previous probing, I can confirm that the Empire has acquired a new Guardian God. Even if the Empress has left the Imperial City, with the Guardian God present, blindly storming in would be nothing short of suicide."

Hearing this, one of the Half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm spoke up, "We can go together. What is there to fear from a mere Lower Realm Martial God?"

Their ultimate goal in the Lower Realm was to rescue the Ancient Blood Demon Prince and bring him back to the Divine Realm. Through the natural connection between the prince and the Blood Demon Emperor, they intended to locate the Sealing Land where the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor was imprisoned and set him free.

Long Yusheng frowned slightly, considered for a moment, and said, "That won't do. You are a crucial part in my plan to execute the Empress. Even if you go to the Imperial City, not to mention whether you can kill the Guardian God or rescue the Ancient Blood Demon, the Ascension Gate is now sealed by the old Martial God and cannot be entered by normal means into the Divine Realm. Even if you rescue the Ancient Blood Demon, you would not be able to return to the Divine Realm."

"This!"

The three Half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm were stunned, having not considered this issue at all.

They were solely focused on rescuing the Ancient Blood Demon Prince and had not thought about how to return to the Divine Realm afterward.

Long Yusheng laughed and said, "I've read in the ancient texts of my Long Family that, a hundred thousand years ago, Jiuzhou entered the Divine Realm by means of the Heavenly Ascension Road. An ancestor of the Long Family was the first to enter the Divine Realm through the Heavenly Ascension Road. Thousands of years after his ascension, a Gate of Ascension finally appeared in the Jiuzhou Continent, so that those whose cultivation surpassed the Martial God's limit could ascend directly to the Divine Realm without having to traverse the Heavenly Ascension Road. It was only after that did people from the Jiuzhou Continent successively ascend to the Divine Realm, including several ancestors from my Long Family."

The Dominating Blade Sect Holy Master exclaimed in surprise, "Are you saying that it was that Long Family ancestor who made it possible for the cultivators of the Jiuzhou Continent to ascend to the Divine Realm?"

Long Yuyan nodded, speaking with some pride, "Exactly, it was our Long Family ancestor who secured the opportunity for ascension for the Jiuzhou Continent."

"How did he manage to do that?" the Saber Sect Holy Master asked, somewhat shocked.

The Gate of Ascension had existed for nearly a hundred thousand years, and everyone believed it had been there since the birth of Jiuzhou. It was completely unexpected that it was connected to an ancestor of the Long Family.

Long Yuxiang spoke indifferently, "How that ancestor achieved it, no one knows. The Long Family's ancestor worship also goes by another name, the Divine Communication Ceremony. It is the only way for us to communicate with those ancestors who have ascended to the Divine Realm. During the ceremony, all descendants of the Long Family will receive the blessings of various ancestors from the Divine Realm. Both their innate talent and physical constitution will see a tremendous enhancement. In particular, the Jiuzhou Emperor who possesses the Imperial Jade Seal will receive the most blessings."

"Indeed, before the creation of the Jiuzhou Empire, the Imperial Jade Seal was known as the Divine Gift Seal, which was stolen by an ancestor of the current imperial lineage," Long Yusheng said in a grave voice.

Long Yuyan and Long Yuxiang exchanged glances but did not expose Long Yusheng's lie.

"So the Long Family ancestors had such capability?"

Upon hearing this, the Saber Sect Holy Master and the others immediately looked envious. No wonder the Long Family was so powerful; it was because they had received the blessings of the gods.

Looking at the Long Family, every State Governor of Jiuzhou had been a member of the Long Family, and all of them were Martial Emperors.

Apart from the Long Family, no other power could reach such a level, which was simply terrifying.

One of the Half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm hesitated for a moment and then asked, "The ancestor you're referring to, is his name Long Aotian?"

"Exactly."

Long Yusheng asked with some surprise, "You know him?"

"We've heard of him."

The three Half-step Martial Gods exchanged looks, each seeing a trace of shock in the eyes of the others.

Long Aotian, one of the three Divine Sovereigns guarding the seal of the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor, had never been seen by anyone in true form, yet his name was well-known throughout the Divine Realm.

Of course, these were not things they would reveal.

They looked upon Long Yusheng and the others with a mix of emotions.

It was somewhat ironic that while Long Aotian in the Divine Realm guarded the seal of the Ancient Blood Demon Emperor, his descendants in Jiuzhou were actually helping to rescue the Blood Demon Emperor's son. If Long Aotian found out, one wondered if he would be angry enough to return from the Divine Realm to Jiuzhou and exterminate these unworthy descendants.
