Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 424 422: The Empress Enters the Ancestral Land

Long Family Ancestral Land entrance.

"Your Majesty, you have arrived."

Long Yusheng, accompanied by his wife and son, Long Shaotian, as well as several Martial Saint Level guards, stepped forward to greet them.

"Hmm! Let's go."

Long Yurou nodded slightly and spoke indifferently.

Although she had been eager to tear Long Yusheng to pieces, she could not make her move outside.

After entering the Long Family Ancestral Land, she would need to keep Long Yusheng and other experts tied up inside so that the great army from the Illusion God Mountain Range could be quietly transported to Longzhou and launch a surprise attack.

Long Yusheng also had no intention of initiating an outside conflict; all his arrangements were set within the Ancestral Land.

He glanced at the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the old woman behind Long Yurou, then said with an apologetic face, "Your Majesty, this is the Long Family Ancestral Land, where only members of the Long Family, or their families, may enter. Outsiders are not permitted inside. Therefore..."

"How dare you! We are the Majesty's guards, how can we be separated from Her Majesty?"

The Old Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion said in a deep voice.

Long Yusheng shook his head and replied, "It's not that I won't allow it, but there is Divine Power left by our ancestors inside the Ancestral Land. Anyone unrelated to the Long Family will be obliterated by Divine Power. I am thinking of your safety."

"Even if it means death, we shall protect Her Majesty's safety," the old woman said coldly.

Everyone knew that Long Yusheng harbored ill-intentions; they dared not stay far from Long Yurou at that moment.

Long Yurou's eyebrow slightly creased, unsure whether what Long Yusheng said was true or false.

She only knew the location of the Long Family Ancestral Land, having never entered it, and she was not very familiar with some of the prohibitions of the Ancestral Land.

Yu Fei thought carefully, then leaned close and whispered into Long Yurou's ear, "Sister, five years ago, it seems that Father indeed only brought Mother to the Ancestral Land."

Long Yurou, upon hearing this, nodded and turned to the old woman and the others, "You all wait outside then."

"But..."

The old woman and the others wanted to persuade her further, but Long Yurou interrupted them, transmitting her voice, "If you enter and are killed by the Dragon Power, my situation becomes even more dangerous. Also, do not forget our purpose. When the time comes, you must hold back as many strong opponents as possible to better control Longzhou."

"As you command, Your Majesty. We understand," the old woman and the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion responded in unison.

"Let's go," Long Yurou said once again, turning her gaze back to Long Yusheng.

"Please, Your Majesty," Long Yusheng stepped aside, standing respectfully to one side, waiting for Long Yurou and Yu Fei to enter before he followed with his wife and child.

Inside the Long Family Ancestral Land, there were numerous prohibitions and countless traps. However, these prohibitions and traps could sense the aura and would not activate against members of the Long Family.

The family members of the Long Family also carried the aura of the Long Family; naturally, they would not be attacked either.

Under Long Yusheng's lead, the group twisted and turned, passing through one layer of prohibition after another, finally arriving at the core of the Ancestral Land—the Long Family Ancestral Shrine.

The first step of the ancestral ritual was to worship the departed ancestors of the Long Family.

Before the Ancestral Shrine stood three figures side by side; their gazes turned icy upon seeing Long Yurou.

"Long Yuyan, Long Yuxiang, Long Yutian."

Long Yurou's gaze also sharpened—evidently, she had not expected these three to dare appear before her.

Long Yufei shouted sternly, "Long Yusheng, you actually let these treacherous officials and rebel subjects return to the Ancestral Land?"

Long Yusheng replied with a smile, "No matter what, they are members of the Long Family. They want to return for the ancestral worship, and I have no reason to refuse. After all, when the Long Family's ancestral worship was established, the Empire didn't even exist yet."

Long Yutian, with one arm severed, said gravely, "We are rebelling against the Empire, not betraying the Long Family. If the Long Family is conducting ancestral worship, why should we not attend?"

Having said this, he turned to Long Yurou and spoke word by word, "Long Yurou, you must remember, the Empire is the Empire of the Long Family, not that the Long Family belongs to the Empire of the Long Family."

Long Yurou said coldly, "The Empire was founded by my ancestor of this lineage, what does it have to do with the Long Family as a whole? My return for the ancestral worship is out of gratitude for the contributions our ancestors made to Jiuzhou."

"Hmph!"

Long Yutian snorted coldly and said no more.

After all, after today, there would be no Empress in this world, and he saw no need to waste words on a dead person.

Long Yuxiang and Long Yuyan also narrowed their eyes slightly, observing Long Yurou as if they were looking at a dead person.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Long Yusheng said respectfully.

Long Yurou glanced at him and said nothing, entering the Long Family ancestral temple.

As the Empress of Jiuzhou, she stood at the very front.

Long Yufei stood close behind Long Yurou, followed then by Long Yusheng and the others.

In the past, there were people like Long Yukuang, but they were killed in Desolate State by a single slap from Chu Feng.

After worshipping the various ancestors, Long Yusheng pointed at the stele erected in the center of the ancestral temple and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is the Divine Gifted Stele. Please activate the Divine Gifted Stele through the Divine Power of the Divine Gift Seal."

Long Yurou turned to look at him, furrowing her brow, and asked, "I remember father saying the Divine Gifted Stele does not need the Divine Gift Seal to be activated, does it?"

Long Yusheng laughed, "Under normal circumstances, of course not, but since Your Majesty personally came, naturally, it would be better to use the Divine Gift Seal to activate it. The Divine Gift Seal, after all, is part of a set of treasures with the Divine Gifted Stele, and only by using the Divine Gift Seal to activate the Divine Gifted Stele, can our Long Family receive more divine blessings."

He was not merely bluffing; what he said was true.

Both Long Yurou and Long Yufei frowned, not too clear about these rules.

The Long Family's ancestral worship was only most effective the first time, and if one was too young or too weak, they might not withstand the energy of the divine gift and could burst apart and die.

Therefore, the Long Family stipulates that one must be at least twenty years of age or have advanced their cultivation to the Martial Emperor Realm before they can participate in the Long Family's ancestral worship.

Five years ago, Long Yurou was still living in Big Stone Village and in seclusion with Chu Feng, and did not return for the Long Family's ancestral worship.

Five years ago, Long Yufei was not yet twenty years old nor had she cultivated to the Martial Emperor Realm; similarly, she did not participate.

Long Yurou looked at Long Yusheng with slightly narrowed eyes.

Although she did not know Long Yusheng's exact plot, this man had not made a move yet, probably waiting for her to take out the Imperial Jade Seal.

Activating the Divine Gifted Stele would probably consume a considerable amount of energy, after all, it involved connecting to the Divine Realm and to the ancestors who had become divine, requiring an enormous amount of energy.

She guessed that Long Yusheng would definitely make his move while she was activating the Divine Gifted Stele. On her side, there were only herself and Long Yufei, whereas on Long Yusheng's side there were Long Yusheng, his wife, Long Shaotian, Long Yuxiang, Long Yuyan, and Long Yutian—six Martial Emperors.

And those were only the ones in the open; who knew how many ambushes had been laid in the dark.

However, just these people alone might not be too concerning; she was confident she could hold out for several days.

The main worry was those three half-step Martial Gods, whom she was very wary of.

She was not certain whether Long Yusheng's statement that no outsiders could be present during the Long Family's ancestral worship was true or not.

Even if it was true, it would likely only apply to the cultivators from Jiuzhou. As for those three half-step Martial Gods from the Divine Realm, no one knew if they had any special methods to avoid the sweep of the Divine Power.
