Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 419 417 We Love Fighting the Most

Halfway up a large mountain near a vein, with a soft "pfft", the hard rock was easily pushed aside.

Two little guys with mud in their hair crawled out of the cave, each holding a small shovel in their hands.

"Wow! We're finally out."

Chu Chen put the Treasure Digging Shovel back into the Sumeru Ring, shrugged his nose vigorously, and greedily breathed in the fresh air.

They had been digging in the mountain for a full two days and were almost suffocated.

Chu Xin waved her hand, releasing Wang Lanxi from the Divine Coffin, and asked in a childlike voice, "Empress Dowager, are we going back to the Imperial City now?"

"Wait a moment, I need to go to the Long Family's Ancestral Land."

Wang Lanxi calculated the time, and today was indeed the day of the Long Family's ancestral ritual.

Although she did not possess the bloodline of the Long Family, she had once accompanied the previous Jiuzhou emperor to the Ancestral Land as his empress.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

The Long Family's ancestral ritual took place every five years, and it had been exactly five years since the last one.

It was also during the last ancestral ritual that she had fallen into Long Yusheng's trap, which triggered the thing inside her body, taking her husband two full years to suppress it, using up nearly all his energy.

Because his energy was drained, he was killed by a minor poison arranged by Long Yusheng.

If Long Yusheng were to receive the ancestral blessing, his strength would surely rise to the realm of a Half-step Martial God, making it even harder to kill him afterward.

Therefore, he had to kill Long Yusheng before he could receive the ancestral blessing.

Long Yusheng probably wouldn't expect that he, a prisoner at his mercy, would appear again at the Long Family's Ancestral Land.

"The Long Family's Ancestral Land? Does it have treasures?"

Chu Chen asked curiously.

"Treasures?"

Wang Lanxi thought about the Divine Gifted Stele at the Ancestral Land and nodded, "Indeed, there is a great treasure that can communicate with the divine and receive divine blessings."

"Receive divine blessings?"

Chu Chen's eyes lit up, and he turned to Chu Xin, asking, "Sister, this treasure sounds amazing. Shall we go and take it?"

"We shouldn't rob the Long Family's treasure if they haven't provoked us."

Chu Xin shook her head, paused, and then added, "However, we still need Empress Dowager to help us find our mother, so we should follow her."

Wang Lanxi hesitated and said, "Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, I'm going to commit murder, and it's very dangerous. You better not come."

"No way."

Chu Xin shook her head again, her face earnest as she said, "We should stay with Empress Dowager. What if she gets captured again? Who will help us find our mother then?"

Captured again?

Wang Lanxi couldn't help but smile wryly. Despite being a former Peak Martial Emperor, she was being underestimated by these little ones.

However, considering those three Half-step Martial Gods by Long Yusheng's side, she found herself unable to argue.

It seemed, indeed, there was a great risk of being captured again.

"Alright then."

Seeing how insistent the two youngsters were, Wang Lanxi eventually nodded in agreement.

She thought for a moment and then added, "Right, release those cultivators from your Divine Coffin. Keeping them serves no purpose."

"Okay."

Chu Xin had originally captured those Longzhou cultivators only to lead the way and worried that they might reveal their whereabouts too early, potentially complicating their mission to rescue their "mother."

Now that they had rescued the person, they no longer feared being exposed.

It was just a pity that the person was not their mother.

With a wave of her snowy white hand, she released the Longzhou cultivators, saying indifferently, "You may go."

"Thank you."

The Longzhou cultivators looked at each other, expressed their gratitude, and then sped away into the distance.

A cold smile appeared on Wang Lanxi's lips. These accomplices to tyranny thought they could live and return home? How could that be possible?

After leaving everyone's sight, all the Longzhou cultivators suddenly changed their expressions dramatically, but before they could react, their bodies exploded out of nowhere.

"Eh? What was that noise?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen simultaneously turned their heads, their round eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.

"It's nothing, probably just someone fighting," Wang Lanxi said with a smile.

"Fighting?"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked puzzled toward the direction from which the sound came. Was there really a fight happening in so many places at once?

And if it was indeed a fight, why was there only one sound then nothing more?

"Boom!"

Just then, several more earth-shattering booms echoed.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen simultaneously turned their heads again, and even Wang Lanxi turned with a puzzled look. She had only been placating the two youngsters; could it really be a fight?

"Sister, isn't that the direction of the ore veins?"

Chu Chen asked in surprise.

"It seems so. Could it also be someone attempting a jailbreak?" Chu Xin blinked her big eyes and said.

A jailbreak?

Wang Lanxi's brow furrowed. Could it be someone sent by Long Yurou?

She had left a Jade Scroll for Long Yurou, and although she told Long Yurou not to come for her, knowing her identity, Long Yurou might truly have sent someone to rescue her.

Since it was her daughter who had dispatched these people, naturally, she couldn't just ignore it.

With that thought, she turned to Chu Xin and Chu Chen and asked, "Little ones, shall we go back and check?"

"Sure, we love fights the most,"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded simultaneously, rubbing their hands together in excitement.

With a smile, Wang Lanxi turned and flew away.

"Let's go!"

Chu Xin and Chu Chen also stepped forward, disappearing into thin air on the spot.

Simultaneously, in the sky above the ore vein, the old crone and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master looked down at the ore vein below with grim expressions.

A total of ten Arrays enveloped Mister Jiu and his companions.

The hundred elite Dragon Guards, although all Martial Saints, had their powers greatly weakened within the Array, completely unable to resist the Martial Saints from Longzhou.

More crucially, the Arrays also covered the entrance to the dungeons, making it impossible for them to use the chaos to enter and rescue the Empress Dowager.

This ambush at the dungeon was more terrifying than they had imagined.

With such forces, unless a Martial God arrived, who could break the situation?

"Old Lao, what should we do now?"

The old crone asked in a low voice.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master, named Niu Tian, also a Peak Martial Emperor, furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "I don't know."

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixated on the Blood Demon Envoy.

With so many Peak Martial Emperors here, even without the Array, their chances of victory were almost nil. Moreover, with the enhancement from the Array, rushing in would mean almost certain death.

"The situation has changed, we must leave quickly!"

Just then, Mister Jiu's voice echoed in the minds of the old crone and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master.

Even with the addition of the old crone and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master, they couldn't turn the tides.

If they too were trapped in the Array, there would be no one left to protect His Majesty on his journey to the Long Family Ancestral Land.

"Hang in there, we'll come to rescue you once the Long Family's ancestral rites are over,"

The old crone and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master gritted their teeth, sent a message back to Mister Jiu, and flew away.

The Blood Demon Envoy looked up at the departing figures of the old crone and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master but did not pursue.

Two Peak Martial Emperors, even if they went to the Ancestral Land, they couldn't stir up much trouble.
