Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 345: Chapter 343: Go Deeper into the Illusion God Mountain Range

“Whether it’s feasible or not, you’ll know after trying.”

Long Yufei picked up a mask, hesitated for a moment, then put it on her face.

“Your Highness, you are a precious daughter, how can you take such a risk? Let me try it first. With His Majesty being the Martial Emperor, he’d have a stronger resistance against the Illusion God’s energy on the outskirts and won’t be able to test the true effectiveness of this mask.”

Ye Hongxue stopped Long Yufei, then picked up a mask and put it on, before turning to Chu Xin and saying, “Ai Chirou, let me out.”

“Okay!”

Chu Xin bit ferociously into a piece of roast meat, then waved her snowy white hand, conjuring a portal of space.

Ye Hongxue took a deep breath, with a spirit ready to die generously, she stepped into the portal of space.

Long Yufei’s lips moved but, in the end, she said nothing.

Buzz!

The Gathering God Pond continued to crazily absorb the Illusion God Energy, and countless Illusion Beasts still surged near the Gathering God Pond, slaughtered by Chu Xin’s eight Battle Bodies.

The lid of the coffin opened, and Ye Hongxue climbed out of the Divine Coffin, floating in the air. A huge amount of Illusion God Energy swarmed towards her, yet eerily diverted around her.

“This mask can actually isolate the Illusion God Energy.”

Ye Hongxue’s heart was filled with shock. For all these years, not a single power in the Jiuzhou Empire had been able to research a Magic Artifact that could isolate Illusion God Energy, yet these people had succeeded.

Although the mask had an evil and chilling aura, making her feel uncomfortable all over when worn, compared with the effect of isolating the Illusion God Energy, it seemed insignificant.

Whoosh!

Long Yufei appeared beside her wearing a mask, feeling the Illusion God Energy passing by, her eyes flashing with excitement.

“Good! This mask can indeed isolate the Illusion God Energy.”

But then, her smiling face gradually became serious, and a trace of worry appeared between her brows.

“Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Ye Hongxue asked with confusion, “With this mask, we don’t have to worry about being eroded by Illusion God Energy. Why aren’t you happy, Your Highness?”

Long Yufei sighed and said, “Although these people are wearing the clothes of our Central State, they must undoubtedly be cultivators from Longzhou. I even suspect that when Long Yusheng brought the Heavenly Prides of Longzhou to force my sister into the competition of Heavenly Prides between our two states, his real intention was not to force my sister to abdicate, but to buy time for these Longzhou cultivators – to divert the attention of Central State, so they could quietly cross the Illusion God Mountain Range and infiltrate Central State. If they have enough of these masks, they could even form an army to directly cross the Illusion God Mountain Range and launch a surprise attack on Central State.”

“This!”

Ye Hongxue suddenly became dumbfounded. If that was true, the consequences would be unthinkable. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. After being silent for a while, she looked at the mountain of people, the entranced Longzhou cultivators with blurred eyes, and asked, “Your Highness, what should we do with these people?”

“Kill them all.”

Long Yufei said coldly, her eyes turning frosty.

“Okay!”

Ye Hongxue nodded, swung her long sword, and a sky-covering Heartless Sword Energy filled the air, slaying all those Longzhou cultivators immersed in the Illusion Realm.

To their deaths, they remained caught in the Illusion Realm, not even uttering a single cry of despair. They died silently, without any pain.

Boom!

Right at that moment, the Gathering God Pond in the sky suddenly shook and entered into the Divine Coffin.

“Why has it stopped absorbing energy?”

Long Yufei and Ye Hongxue were taken aback for a moment and both returned to the Divine Coffin.

Chu Chen gnawed on the roast meat while speaking in a babyish voice, “Aunt Long, Aunt Ye, the Gathering God Pond has already absorbed enough energy. Now we just need to wait for it to transform this energy into Divine Water, then sister can consume it.”

“How long will it take?”

Long Yufei thought for a moment and asked.

“I don’t know, probably a few days.”

Chu Chen thought about it and said.

He didn’t know exactly how long a few days would be; he just guessed it should be about right.

“A few days?”

Long Yufei fell into contemplation, then after a moment, she said, “Then you two stay here. Don’t wander around. I will take these masks back to the Imperial City and report to my sister.”

“Okay, Aunt Long, you can go ahead; we won’t run around.”

Chu Xin, who was eating roasted meat, waved his greasy little hand and said indistinctly.

Hmm?

Long Yufei’s eyelid twitched; why did that sound like she was being scolded?

She turned to look at the little milky baby who was serious about eating the roasted meat, shook her head secretly, and after instructing Ye Hongxue a few words, she turned and left.

As the Gathering God Pond disappeared, the Illusion God Energy that swarmed in from all directions was also gradually returning. Naturally, no new Illusion Beasts were rushing over, and the remaining ones were soon slain by Chu Xin’s eight Battle Bodies.

After his Battle Bodies had collected all the Illusion Beast corpses, Chu Xin withdrew them and, with a greased little hand, performed Hand Formation. The Divine Coffin flew away with a whiz.

“Ai Chirou, where are you going?” Ye Hongxue asked in surprise.

“To look deeper inside; the Illusion Beasts there must taste even better,” said Chu Xin without looking back.

Deeper inside?

Ye Hongxue was startled and hurriedly tried to stop him, “The deeper you go, the denser the Illusion God Energy is, and the stronger the Illusion Beasts become. You mustn’t go!”

“Aunt Ye, don’t worry. The Illusion God Energy is useless against us. Besides, we’re not stupid; if we encounter an Illusion Beast we can’t beat, we’ll run,” said Chu Xin, turning his head to glance at Ye Hongxue and grinning.

Ye Hongxue furrowed her brow and said in a weak voice, “Didn’t you just promise Princess Highness not to run around?”

Chu Chen, who was eating roasted meat, lifted his head and said innocently, “Aunt Ye, we haven’t been running around, right? We’ve been in the Illusion God Mountain Range the whole time.”

“…”

Ye Hongxue was at a loss for words, the ‘not running around’ understood by these two bear children was quite different from what the Princess meant.

Hopefully, nothing goes wrong.

She knew she couldn’t stop these two bear children, so she could only silently pray in her heart.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

“Sister, these are the strange masks seized from a group of Longzhou cultivators in the Illusion God Mountain Range; they can isolate the Illusion God Energy.”

Long Yufei took out the blood-colored masks, levitating them in front of Long Yurou.

The energy of the Ancient Blood Demon?

Long Yurou felt the aura on the masks, and her body shook suddenly, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

Although the energy of the Ancient Blood Demon on the masks was not very pure, she could not possibly sense it wrong—the aura emanating from the masks was indeed the Ancient Blood Demon Energy.

But wasn’t the Ancient Blood Demon suppressed in the Martial God Mansion?

Where did those Longzhou cultivators get the Ancient Blood Demon Energy from?

Blood Puppets?

Or perhaps the person behind the Blood Puppets?

Long Yurou collected the masks and asked, “Have those two bear children made a breakthrough yet?”

“Not yet; it will probably take a few more days.”

Long Yufei asked, “Sister, how much longer can we hold out?”

“At most six more days,” replied Long Yurou, her gaze flickering slightly. “Today, we had three matches, all of which defeated by Longzhou’s Heavenly Pride in one move. In order to delay time, I proposed that we only have one match per day from now on, and Long Yusheng agreed. We can still lose six matches; they must come back before the last match starts.”

To the result of the matches, Long Yufei wasn’t surprised, but what did astonish her was, “Only one match per day, and Long Yusheng actually agreed?”

Long Yurou looked down at the blood-colored masks in her hand and said in a deep voice, “I was puzzled before, but now it seems that they, too, want to delay time, to buy these people time. Or, he has other schemes.”

Long Yufei nodded, she had also guessed as much before.

Long Yurou lifted her head and said, “You go back to the Illusion God Mountain Range first and urge those two bear children to make a breakthrough sooner. I will find someone to study these masks and see if we can imitate them to refine some more.”

“Yes, Sister.”

Long Yufei turned and left.

Long Yurou then tidied away the blood-colored masks and headed for the Martial God Mansion.
