Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

In a certain place beneath the land of Jiuzhou, inside a blood-colored great hall, hundreds of Blood Robed Men gathered.

The Blood Robed Man seated at the highest spot in the great hall spoke in a chilling voice, "Two 'rats' on the surface are dead, and we've lost two Blood Ponds. We might have been exposed. What do you all think we should do now?"

"Your Excellency the Envoy, the old Martial God of the Empire has left. Whether he has ascended or died during ascension, it is good news for us. I believe we can initiate our plan to overturn Jiuzhou and save our master ahead of schedule," a Blood Robed Man said.

"I also agree to start ahead of schedule."

More than half of the Blood Robed Men began to voice their agreement.

"Start ahead of schedule? But we haven't completely infiltrated Jiuzhou. Plus, with the loss of the Blood Ponds in Cangzhou and Desolate State, we would have to pass through numerous State Seas, which would take a long time. At this moment, the only forces we can mobilize in a short period are those in Demon State and Fire State. If we initiate the plan now, Central State could at least rally the forces of Lanzhou, Desolate State, and itself - three states against us, and we have no odds of winning. If Longzhou and Cloud State join hands with Central State, our defeat is certain." Another Blood Robed Man raised doubts.

"Indeed, initiating the plan now is not a wise move," a smaller group of Blood Robed Men disagreed with starting the plan early, and the two sides argued endlessly.

"Quiet!"

After pondering for a moment, the Blood Demon Envoy seated at the highest spot said, "Let Demon State take action ahead of time to draw their attention there. Make sure those in Fire State stay hidden without any slip-ups. Some of you go to Cangzhou and Desolate State and take the Blood Puppets there to Fire State. The rest of you infiltrate Cloud State as quickly as possible. As for Longzhou, among the three golden lights that descended from the sky, there is a whiff of a familiar aura. I will go to confirm it myself. Also, dispatch more men to search for the lost Blood Ponds."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Envoy."

The Blood Robed Men responded in unison.

...

"Daddy, what is that?"

In Big Stone Village, Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked up at the sky, full of curiosity and confusion.

"It's nothing."

Chu Feng smiled, but his heart trembled.

The old Martial God dead?

What exactly happened in the Divine Realm? Why did the old Martial God fall during his ascension? And why seal the gates of ascension in Jiuzhou?

To thwart their success? Who are they? Gods from the Upper Realm?

And what were those three golden lights?

It seems I need to go to the Sealing Land in the Imperial City ahead of schedule.

"Senior, the old Martial God... he..."

Fear appeared in Jin Hong's eyes, his face incredulous.

Chu Feng glanced at him and said indifferently, "From now on, you are a villager of Big Stone Village. Don't worry about the affairs of the Empire."

Although he did not explain further, Jin Hong could naturally hear that the old Martial God was indeed dead.

Becoming a Martial God and ascending to the Divine Realm is the ultimate dream of every Cultivator.

Yet, the old Martial God had fallen during his ascension, a blow to the Cultivators of Jiuzhou, as if their beliefs had collapsed.

Naturally aware of Jin Hong's feelings, even Chu Feng felt an inexplicable unease. He turned to look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen; Jiuzhou was now even less safe, but these two little ones were unlikely to stay put at home. Logically, with their Cultivation, they should not be able to break the Martial God Restriction he left behind, but he always felt it was unreliable.

After some thought, he took out two Tokens and said, "Xin'er, Chen'er, you've used up your Spirit Body Tokens. Here are two new ones for you; they can summon Spirit Bodies at the Peak Martial Emperor level, but they can only be used three times each."

"Spirit Bodies at the Peak Martial Emperor level? That's amazing! Thank you, Daddy."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen suddenly brightened, happily taking the Tokens with gratitude.

Jin Hong was agape, a look of shock on his face.

Summoning Spirit Bodies at the Peak Martial Emperor level, and a total of six times—these protective measures were indeed terrifying.

This senior was really prepared to pay any price to ensure the safety of the two little ones.

To refine Tokens capable of housing Spirit Bodies required extremely precious materials that ordinary Cultivators might not gather in a lifetime. Tokens meant to contain Peak Martial Emperor Spirit Bodies were themselves at the level of Top Grade Emperor's Artifacts, requiring even more precious materials and more difficult refining processes.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Give me your masks."

"Here, Daddy," Chu Xin and Chu Chen took off their masks and handed them to Chu Feng.

"Alright, off you go," Chu Feng waved them off.

"Okay, Daddy."

Chu Xin and Chu Chen happily bounced away.

"Elder, your junior bids farewell."

Jin Hong bowed to Chu Feng and quickly caught up with the departing figures.

Once the siblings had vanished from sight, Chu Feng stood up and left.

Before heading to the Imperial City, he needed to craft some new talismans and array stones for the siblings.

After becoming a Martial God, his understanding of talisman and array stone crafting had reached new insights, and he was confident that this time, he could create Emperor Level talismans and array stones.

"Sss! Such rich spiritual energy."

The moment he stepped outside, Jin Hong took in a sharp breath of air.

The spiritual energy in this village was countless times more concentrated than in Cangzhou Prefecture, not to mention even the two great Holy Lands of Cangzhou couldn't compare to this village.

Cultivating here would indeed yield twice the result with half the effort.

"Uncle, this is Grandpa Village Chief's house, if you ever need anything, just go to Grandpa Village Chief."

At that moment, Chu Xin and Chen'er led Jin Hong into a large courtyard and shouted, "Grandpa Village Chief, we're back."

"Haha, you're finally back."

A moment later, the Village Chief's hearty laughter rang out, and a figure dashed out of the house, scooping up Chu Xin and Chen'er into a hug, "Oh, you've gotten heavier."

Having no descendants of his own, the Village Chief always treated Chu Xin and Chen'er as his own grandchildren and dearly loved them.

"I've gotten taller, not heavier."

Chu Xin replied somewhat displeased, as girls tend to be sensitive about their weight from a young age.

"Alright, alright, you've gotten taller, not heavier."

The Village Chief said affectionately, and then turned his head to look at Jin Hong, asking, "And who might this be?"

"This is an uncle we met outside, he's a good person. Dad asked us to show him around the village, and he will be staying here from now on." Chen'er said with a beaming smile.

"Oh."

The Village Chief gave Jin Hong a meaningful glance; this was someone Chu Feng had placed under confinement.

"My name is Jin Hong, I have seen the Village Chief."

Jin Hong saluted the Village Chief, his heart slightly surprised—could it be that even in this small village there was a Martial Emperor?

But considering the dense spiritual energy here, and that it was the place where that elder resided in seclusion, it wasn't strange for a Martial Emperor to emerge.

"There's no need for formalities. Once you're in Big Stone Village, treat it like your own home. I'll have someone arrange a courtyard for you later; from now on, you're one of us." The Village Chief said with a smile.

"Thank you, Village Chief."

Jin Hong expressed his gratitude.

The Village Chief, still holding Chu Xin and Chen'er, sat down by a stone table in the courtyard and asked with a smile, "You two little ones, have you gained anything from sneaking out this time?"

He was naturally asking about the search for their mother, but the two children obviously misunderstood and excitedly said, "We got a lot of things."

With that, the two little ones waved their hands, and all manner of cultivation methods, magic artifacts, elixirs, spiritual medicines, and so on were taken out from the Sumeru Ring, completely inundating the Village Chief's courtyard.

Not only that, but as more items kept spilling out, they covered an area as large as a dozen courtyards before finally stopping.

Moreover, this was only part of what they treasured in their rings, having not taken everything out; otherwise, the entire village wouldn't be able to contain it all.

After all, these were the spoils from ransacking three State Mansions and five Holy Lands.

"Ah! I'm suffocating."

At the top of the pile, the cultivation methods shifted, and four little heads—two big and two small—popped out from the mountain of treasures, with their bodies still buried.

Chen'er scratched his bun hairstyle and muttered in a low voice, "Sis, did we take out too much?"

Chu Xin slapped the back of his head, scolding, "Who told you to take out so much? You've even collapsed the Village Chief's house."

Chen'er muttered aggrievedly, "You took out even more than I did."

Chu Xin turned to look at the Village Chief and said with embarrassment, "Grandpa Village Chief, I'm sorry, we've collapsed your house."

However, the Village Chief didn't hear her; at the moment, he and Jin Hong were both staring, dumbfounded, at the mountainous pile of treasures.
