Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 327: Chapter 325: The Supreme Elder Is Killed, The Heartless Sword Scripture Is Stolen

Central Demon State Sea, where the sounds of battle shook the heavens. The Central State’s army and the Demon State’s army were engaged in fierce combat in the skies above the State Sea.

Bodies of cultivators were constantly falling from the sky, plunging into the State Sea, and being instantly torn into pieces by the Demon Beasts within the sea.

In the State Sea, the consciousness of all cultivators was greatly restricted, and even their strength could not be fully exerted.

Nonetheless, it was precisely because of this that commanding the armies and utilizing strategies in battle here demanded higher skills than on land.

Due to the influence on consciousness, many strategies became viable.

“State Governor.”

...

Just then, a disciple from the State Mansion, piloting a specially made Flying Boat, quickly made their way through the State Sea. They had just reached the island where the Demon State army’s central camp was located, when they urgently shouted, “State Governor, a powerful enemy has invaded, the steward is dead, and all the treasures from the State Mansion have been taken.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, the cultivators at the central camp were greatly startled.

The steward of the State Mansion was a Middle Stage Martial Emperor, yet he was killed?

And all the treasures from the State Mansion had been taken, this was simply inconceivable.

Whoosh!

A figure appeared out of nowhere, looking like a middle-aged man, tall with bright, piercing eyes. Yet at this moment, his face was grim as he asked, “Who is responsible for this?”

The disciple from the State Mansion hastily paid his respects again and explained, “State Governor, it began when a group of rowdy kids broke into our State Mansion, beating up all the disciples and even the Elders were no match for them. The steward was about to take action but was stopped by an Eighth Rank Demon Beast. Those kids forced our people to take them to the Hidden Skill Pavilion, the Treasure Pavilion, and other places. Then, then, they took away every treasure they found.”

“A group of rowdy kids?”

The State Governor’s eyes flashed as he turned to look at a middle-aged man not far away. The man radiated powerful Heartless Sword Intent, his eyes cold and indifferent—he was the Holy Master of the Heartless Sword Sect, Huafengzi.

Not long ago, disciples from the Heartless Sword Sect had come to report that two rowdy kids had broken into the Heartless Sword Sect, rescued the Demon State Inspector Ye Hongxue, attacked the Heartless Holy Temple, and attempted to seize the Heartless Sword Scripture. And now, within such a short time, another group of rowdy kids had attacked the State Mansion?

Afterward, he turned his head back to the State Mansion disciple and asked in a deep voice, “Is that Demon Beast, perhaps, an Eighth Rank Late Stage Demon Beast?”

The State Mansion disciple shook his head, “The steward said that the Demon Beast was only an Eighth Rank Early Stage, but its strength was very formidable.”

“An Eighth Rank Early Stage Demon Beast? Although Demon Beasts are strong, they shouldn’t be capable of killing the steward. Did those kids have a Martial Emperor Level expert with them?” the State Governor asked gravely.

“Yes.”

The State Mansion disciple nodded and said, “The Heartless Sword Sect’s Supreme Elder and the Second Supreme Elder came to pursue those kids and joined hands with the steward, wanting to execute them. But unexpectedly, those kids were exceedingly crafty, vanishing into thin air, leaving the three Martial Emperor seniors unable to find a single clue. They planned to join forces to attack the Eighth Rank Demon Beast, forcing the kids to show themselves. However, what came instead was a very powerful Martial Emperor. Those two kids seemed to have called out ‘father’ a few times; it must be their father. This person’s strength was terrifyingly extreme, facing three opponents alone, he consecutively killed the Heartless Sword Sect’s Second Supreme Elder and our steward. The Heartless Sword Sect’s Supreme Elder tore through space to escape but was also gravely injured by his thrown War Spear; their life and death are unknown.”

“What?” @@novelbin@@

Upon hearing this, the State Governor’s eyebrows were tightly locked, and even Huafengzi of the Heartless Sword Sect, who was originally just there to watch, bellowed in rage.

“Is what you said really true?”

He arrived in an instant, appearing before the State Mansion disciple, and asked solemnly.

“To the Holy Master, there’s not a single word of falsehood in what I said, nor is there any exaggeration,” the disciple hurriedly replied.

“Damn it!”

Huafrenzi roared in fury, unleashing his Heartless Sword Intent which swept across the camp, causing all the cultivators and soldiers to involuntarily clutch their heads and let out agonizing howls of pain.

“Huafrenzi, what on earth are you doing?”

The State Governor shouted sternly, pulling Huafrenzi back from the brink of madness and said in a deep voice, “That person was able to single-handedly slay two Martial Emperors and seriously injure one at the Late Stage. His strength must have already reached the realm of a Peak Martial Emperor. Such a powerful being, did he truly come just to plunder the treasures of the Heartless Sword Sect and Demon State Mansion and to save a Demon State Inspector?”

Huafrenzi’s brows furrowed, and he replied coldly, “Are you suggesting that this is someone from Central State who deliberately infiltrated Demon State to pull the rug out from under us?”

“Very likely.”

The State Governor nodded and added, “Otherwise, why would a Peak Martial Emperor come to Demon State for no reason? His goal is to draw us back to Demon State while using this news to sow chaos within our army. Fortunately, the cultivators here in this central camp are the elite forces of the State Mansion and Heartless Sword Sect. Issue my command, seal this information, it must not be leaked.”

“If we ignore this, won’t that person end up destroying both my Heartless Sword Sect and your State Mansion?” Huafrenzi asked, frowning.

The State Governor shook his head and said, “It shouldn’t come to that. Based on my understanding of Long Yurou, she would never do such a thing. Some treasures lost are just lost. As for the vengeance for our State Mansion steward and your Second Supreme Elder of the Heartless Sword Sect, it can wait until we’ve crushed the Central State army and invaded Central State.”

After a moment of deep thought, Huafrenzi eventually nodded.

Just then, a disciple of the Heartless Sword Sect arrived on a Flying Boat.

Something heavy settled in Huafrenzi’s heart. With a distant grab, he seized that disciple from the Heartless Sword Sect and brought him to the central camp, demanding, “What’s the situation at the Heartless Sword Sect now?”

The disciple fell to the ground with a thud, saying in grief, “Holy Master, all the treasures of our Heartless Sword Sect have been looted, all the disciples of the Holy Temple are dead, the Supreme Elder is missing, and the Heartless Sword Scripture has also been stolen.”

“What? Bring me to that bastard.”

Huafrenzi was livid with rage, no longer able to contain himself. He immediately grabbed the disciple and vanished into the sky.

The other treasures being taken was tolerable, and the Holy Temple disciples slain could be trained anew; the Supreme Elder’s severe injury and disappearance, though infuriating, could still be endured. But the news of the Heartless Sword Scripture being stolen was something he couldn’t bear.

The Heartless Sword Scripture was the foundation of the Heartless Sword Sect and the key to his future breakthrough to Martial God and even ascension to godhood. It could not be lost.

“Wait!”

The Demon State Governor tried to stop Huafrenzi, but it was already too late. As he watched Huafrenzi’s figure disappearing from sight, he could only let out a slight sigh.

“I hope the situation isn’t as bad as I fear.”

The Demon State Governor muttered to himself.

Although Huafrenzi was gone, and with him, a Martial Emperor was missing from the Demon State army, he could barely hold on.

Of the two Martial Emperors from Central State, only one was a Peak Martial Emperor, and the other a Late Stage. Even facing two at once, he was confident he could hold on for several days.

He ordered the total lockdown on all news, including Huafrenzi’s departure, hoping only to buy a bit more time.

“Suppression!”

In that moment, a childish voice suddenly echoed from above, sounding naive and adorable, but it carried a terrifying momentum that bore down from the sky.

The Demon State Governor looked up to see a pitch-black coffin plummeting from the sky, with a giant character “Suppression” flickering at its base.

As the coffin descended, it seemed as if the entire world was falling with it, and even he, a Peak Martial Emperor, felt a lethal threat.
