Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"Sister, what is 'executing the nine clans'?"

Chu Chen had already come to Chu Xin's side, leaning his little head in, and asked curiously.

Chu Xin pretended to contemplate for a moment, but eventually, she still shook her little head, "I don't know, Daddy never mentioned it."

"Never mind."

Chu Chen's eyes spun, and he whispered, "Sister, we have to join forces, otherwise, we will get beaten up."

"Mm!"

Chu Xin nodded, her delicate little face showing a hint of gravity for the first time.

"Execute the nine clans? The Empress is too busy to take care of herself right now, she won't have the time to deal with matters in Lanzhou."

At this moment, the butler rose into the air, leveling with Long Yufei, and spoke indifferently, "As for you, State Governor Long, you are not qualified to execute the nine clans."

Long Yufei snorted coldly, her tone chilling as she said, "I may not have the right to execute your nine clans, but I do have the right to execute three clans. Let's start by executing your three clans, and once the imperial decree arrives, then we'll execute all nine."

"State Governor Long, do you think you and those two brats can defeat the four of us, who are Peak Martial Saints?"

The other three also rose into the air, splitting off in three directions, forming a quadrant with the butler, and encircling Long Yufei, Chu Xin, and Chu Chen in the middle.

"Initially, the plan was to have them delay you for half an hour, while we devour the True Qi and blood of these hundred thousand cultivators, and then pin the whole thing on the Fierce Beast that killed the previous State Governor, without anyone being the wiser."

"But why did you have to come back? Now we have no choice but to kill you."

The three of them spoke one after another, their tones laced with a deep murderous intent.

Just as Long Yufei said, using the Jiuzhou Forbidden Array would lead to the execution of the nine clans.

Not only would they themselves die, but their bloodlines and legacies would be severed as well.

Therefore, at all costs, they cannot allow Long Yufei to leave this place alive.

"Demon Saber Sect Leader Fu Zhantian, Domineering Sword Sect Master Qin Xinghai, Myriad Beasts Sect Master Huo Feng, who would have thought that the leaders of the three greatest powers in Lanzhou would fall into evil cultivation? If this were to spread, wouldn't the other eight states ridicule us?" Long Yufei looked at the three of them and said coldly.

"So long as I can breakthrough, what is wrong with becoming an evil cultivator?"

Fu Zhantian, a man with a feminine appearance, emitted a chilling blood-red Sword Intent and spoke with an equally chilling tone, "Lanzhou hasn't produced a Martial Emperor for many years. Three years ago, if we were Martial Emperors, would we have been forced by that mysterious assassin to open the gates to the Secret Realm prematurely? If we were Martial Emperors, would our predecessor have died at the hands of that mysterious power? If Lanzhou cannot produce an Emperor through the normal route, why not find another way?"

"So, is this your reason for turning to evil cultivation? Is this your reason to devour the True Qi and blood of a hundred thousand cultivators for your cultivation?"

Long Yufei's voice was ice-cold, and her beautiful eyes were filled with endless rage.

An evil cultivator once used the Blood-devouring Coagulation Array to devour a hundred thousand ordinary people for cultivation, turning from a mere Martial Arts Master into a Peak Martial Saint.

And those hundred thousand were all turned to dried-up corpses.

Moreover, under the influence of the Blood-devouring Soul Melding Array, the corpses would become blood-sucking Blood Demons that could be controlled by the evil cultivator.

This was an extremely evil and terrifying array, one the past Emperor had classified as a Forbidden Array and banned its use.

If discovered, it would lead to the execution of nine clans.

Yet today, these four were ready to devour a hundred thousand cultivators, and the Primordial Power condensed from the True Qi and blood they would obtain was naturally much greater than before.

"If it allows Lanzhou to produce another Martial Emperor, what's wrong with sacrificing a hundred thousand people?"

Domineering Sword Sect Master Qin Xinghai said coldly.

"Exactly! Forget a hundred thousand people, even if it's a million, if it allows Lanzhou to give birth to a Martial Emperor, it's worth their sacrifice."

Myriad Beasts Sect Master Huo Feng also spoke in a cold voice.

"Hmph! All this grandiose talk, I see it as nothing but satisfying your own desires," Long Yufei's exquisite face showed a trace of disgust.

"Why waste words with her? Let's take action."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The butler snorted coldly, reaching out through the air, and a massive blood claw descended toward the top of Long Yufei's head.

An evil aura ebbed and flowed, making the blood in one's body tremble.

Long Yufei formed a hand seal, and the State Governor Seal spun rapidly, lines of Fate Power trailing down, forming a Protective Shield around her.

Boom!

The claw struck the protective shield, emitting a thunderous boom, as the formidable energy waves rippled out, tearing the void.

The powerful force, delivered through the State Governor Seal, caused Long Yufei's face to turn slightly pale.

At the same time, a powerful backlash emerged out of nowhere within the body of the butler, abruptly halting the high-speed circulation of his True Qi and causing the smooth flow of his blood energy to surge tumultuously.

But at that moment, a crimson light surged from within him, suppressing that backlash.

"You..."

Seeing the butler's calm demeanor, Long Yufei couldn't help being greatly surprised.

The State Governor Seal was originally crafted by the imperial family of Jiuzhou Empire to strengthen their control over Jiuzhou, refined jointly by the three great Martial Gods of the royal family at that time.

Anyone who attacked the person recognized by the State Governor Seal would receive the backlash of Fate Power.

Yet this butler seemed to have suffered little from the backlash.

The butler paid no attention to Long Yufei and shouted to the other three, "I will restrain her Fate Power, and you all attack together."

"Alright!"

The three responded in unison, each unleashing their strongest attack.

Within the butler's body, a Blood Sea emerged, drifting towards the State Governor Seal and enveloping it, with its powerful corrosive force even penetrating into the Fate Shield.

This Blood Sea exuded an even more evil aura than his blood-colored True Qi.

If Fate Power is the most righteous force between heaven and earth, then this Blood Sea embodies the most evil power, seemingly born as a natural adversary, mutually restraining each other.

The Blood Sea was too small to counteract the Fate Power Long Yufei mobilized from Lanzhou, but it was able to limit the effects of the Fate Power.

However, as it limited the Fate Power, the Blood Sea was also rapidly consumed by it, continuously shrinking.

"What kind of power is this?"

Long Yufei was profoundly shocked, having never heard of a power that could restrain Fate Power.

"Domineering Sword, Annihilate!"

A pitch-black giant sword tore through the sky, its domineering Sword Intent pervading as the tip pulsed with sword light, annihilating the void it traversed, which only recovered under the influence of the Void Law afterwards.

"Demon Sword, Soul Slash!"

A chilling Giant Blade cleaved through the air, its cold Sword Intent mixed with a heart-bewitching Demonic Qi.

Beneath this Demon Sword, the souls of a hundred thousand cultivators trembled.

This blade aimed not for the physical body, but for the soul.

"Blood Flame Phoenix, Sky Burning!"

A massive Blood Flame Phoenix spread its wings, its surging blood flames reddening the entire sky as the firmament above burned to nothingness.

The Void Law continuously repaired that part of the void, which then burned to nothingness again.

That part of the void kept oscillating between destruction and restoration under the burning of the blood flames.

Boom!

The three mighty attacks fell, and the Fate Power, restricted by the Blood Sea, could no longer hold together and shattered abruptly.

Pu!

However, the three, not having the means to limit Fate Power like the Blood Sea, received the backlash in kind, each spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

But smiles appeared on their faces, because after breaking through the Fate Shield, their attacks continued rushing towards Long Yufei.

With Long Yufei's Martial Arts Sect strength, it was impossible for her to block the attacks of three Peak Martial Saints.

Her death was certain.

"Auntie Long, don't be afraid, we'll protect you!"

Just then, two childish voices rang out.
