Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 301 - 299: Chu Feng and Long Yurou Join Forces to Strengthen the Seal
In the Imperial Palace of the Imperial City, Empress Long Yurou was enveloped in bursts of golden light. After a long while, she opened her beautiful eyes and murmured, "Ancient Blood Demon? No wonder the ancestor almost never left the Martial God Mansion, so that’s what is sealed there. The energy of the Blood Demon can influence the Emperor’s Thought, and even Divine Thought? It’s no surprise the ancestor insisted I wear that golden mask every time I visited the Martial God Mansion. It seems that the Blood Robed Man who appeared in Lanzhou must also be related to the Ancient Blood Demon. But what exactly happened in the Divine Realm? Were those three beams of golden light the gods from the Lower Realm?"
Previously, she had only known that beneath the Martial God Mansion a demon was sealed, which required the Imperial Jade Seal to mobilize the Dragon Vein and collaborate with the Guardian God to strengthen the seal. However, she had not known what exactly was being sealed.
"Your Majesty, is the ancestor truly dead?"
From the shadows, that hoarse voice rose, quivering with a hint of tremble in its tone.
Even though she had witnessed with her own eyes the orb of inheritance from the ancestor descend from the skies, entering Her Majesty’s body, she still clung to a sliver of hope.
Long Yurou remained silent, not uttering a word, but her silence already said it all.
"The sky is falling."
The hoarse voice said, shaking.
"If the sky falls, I will support it. Moreover, the ancestor mentioned in his inheritance that he had found a new Guardian God, who would soon come to the Imperial City," Long Yurou said in a deep voice.
"A new Guardian God? That’s good."
The person hidden in the shadows immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Yurou’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said solemnly, "For the time being, do not spread the news of the new Guardian God. Those people from Longzhou have been inciting others from a different lineage to rebel. This time, I intend to resolve all these hidden dangers in one fell swoop."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the person in the shadow responded.
Long Yurou’s slender fingers tapped on the desk, asking, "Is there any news about those two children?"
"There is!"
The person in the shadows collected their emotions and said with their hoarse voice, "Our people arrived in the Desolate State from the State Sea just in time to see the ten Martial Emperors besieging those two brats in the Godslaying Valley. Just when they were about to intervene, a giant hand that covered the sky descended from above, wiping out the ten Martial Emperors, leaving no bones behind."
"One palm obliterated the ten great Martial Emperors?"
Shock was written all over Long Yurou’s exquisitely beautiful face; the strength of this person was probably not much weaker than that of the new Guardian God.
"Yes, the ten Martial Emperors had no power to resist. The person who killed the ten Martial Emperors did not reveal themselves from the beginning to the end. Their power is extremely frightening. Your Majesty, this individual has a very close relationship with those two brats—it must be an elder from their family," the hoarse voice also conveyed immense shock.

Long Yurou nodded slightly, rhythmically tapping her slender fingers on the desk. After a moment of contemplation, she inquired, "Where are those two children now?"
"They were taken away by that mysterious person, leaving no trace behind," replied the hoarse voice.
Long Yurou thought for a moment and said, "Call six Peak Martial Saints from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, give them my Token, and send them to Cangzhou, Thunder State, and the Desolate State to temporarily take control of the three states. In addition, shift the focus of the surveillance to the other states."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The hoarse voice responded.
Just then, a guard outside the Imperial Study Room respectfully announced, "Your Majesty, the Martial God Mansion has sent a message, requesting Your Majesty to bring the Imperial Jade Seal and immediately visit the Martial God Mansion."
The seal under the Martial God Mansion was known only to the Guardian God and Empress, nobody else was aware of it.
"Understood."
Long Yurou got up and, after putting on the golden mask, she tore through space to appear outside the Martial God Mansion.
Since the new Guardian God had asked her to bring the Imperial Jade Seal, there must be a problem with the seal; she naturally could not delay.
Arriving at the underground chamber of the Martial God Mansion, a rich scent of blood rushed over.
"As expected, there’s a problem with the seal. This bloody scent is much thicker than before."
Long Yurou’s delicate eyebrows furrowed as she flew towards the center of the chamber. Upon arriving, she saw a man using Divine Power to reinforce the seal.
Within the seal, clusters of Blood Light were continuously launching assaults, causing the seal to rumble loudly with impact.
Chu Feng, sensing someone, turned around and when he saw a woman in a Dragon Robe, also wearing a golden mask like his, he understood the identity of the newcomer and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, quickly mobilize the Dragon Vein to stabilize the seal."
His voice, empowered by the golden mask, carried a deeper resonance, entirely different from his usual tone.
"Alright!"
Long Yurou nodded and immediately summoned the Imperial Jade Seal to command the Jiuzhou Dragon Vein.
Chant!
A golden dragon spiraled out from the Imperial Jade Seal, diving towards the seal with a thunderous roar, plunging into it.
Hum!
The power of the Dragon Vein mixed with the Martial God’s Divine Power, spreading throughout the seal in an instant. The seal shone with dazzling golden light, its might surging immensely.
"You cannot seal me for long. I will be out soon, and when I am, I shall devour every living being in Jiuzhou, leaving none behind."
From beneath the seal, the sinister roar of the Ancient Blood Demon emerged.
With the seal reinforced, Long Yurou also retrieved the Imperial Jade Seal, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead. Mobilizing the Jiuzhou Dragon Vein to transform into the Fate Golden Dragon to fortify the seal proved somewhat strenuous for her current realm.
Chu Feng withdrew his Divine Power, turning his head toward the Empress, his brow furrowing slightly. He always found her inexplicably familiar, and though he probed with his Divine Thought, he was obstructed by the golden mask. Yet, from beginning to end, he never connected the Empress before him with his wife, A’Rou.
His wife, A’Rou, had a gentle voice and exuded a simple and pure aura. But the Empress, whether in her voice or demeanor, always exuded an imperial and authoritative presence, utterly unlike his wife’s temperament. Moreover, his wife had an excellent figure, whereas the Empress’s figure was... well, hidden beneath the Dragon Robe, it was hard to tell its quality, but he guessed it certainly was not as good as his wife’s.
Long Yurou also gazed at Chu Feng, feeling a sense of familiarity and warmth in her heart, but she likewise never linked this new Guardian God of the Empire with her husband.
Her husband was but a man with wild ideas, completely ignorant of the ways of cultivation. This man before her, however, was the Empire’s new Guardian God, whose radiated Divine Power also exerted immense pressure on her.
The two looked at each other for a long while before Long Yurou finally said, "From now on, we will have to rely on your excellency to safeguard this Blood Demon Seal for the Empire."
"Don’t worry! Having promised the old Martial Saint, I will naturally keep my word," Chu Feng responded after a pause.
Chu Feng continued, asking, "Has Your Majesty received the Martial Saint’s inheritance?"
At the time of the old Martial Saint’s ascendance and fall, a sphere of light fell into the Imperial City. That must have been the Martial Saint’s inheritance.
And in the entire Imperial City, the most likely candidate to receive the Martial Saint’s inheritance was naturally the Empress.
"Indeed!"
Long Yurou nodded.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Feng asked, "Did the Martial Saint’s inheritance mention what happened in the Divine Realm? And what were those three beams of golden light?"
Shaking her head, Long Yurou replied, "What happened in the Divine Realm was not mentioned in the ancestor’s inheritance. As for those three beams of golden light, they are likely gods from the Lower Realm."
"Gods from the Lower Realm?" Chu Feng’s brow furrowed.
Thinking Chu Feng was worried, Long Yurou quickly said, "You needn’t worry, your excellency. The rules of the Upper Realm and Lower Realm differ. No matter how powerful a god is, when they arrive in this Lower Realm, their power will be suppressed to the Martial God Realm."
Chu Feng nodded, producing a Jade Scroll and saying, "This is a Jade Scroll from Jiuzhou’s Inspector Jin Hong to be delivered to you, he said it concerns the survival of Jiuzhou."
"Jin Hong? The Inspector of Cangzhou?"
Long Yurou’s beautiful eyes flashed as she took the Jade Scroll and put it away, asking, "Where is Jin Hong now?"
Chu Feng glanced at her and said indifferently, "Dead."
The location of Big Stone Village absolutely could not be revealed, so he fabricated a lie.
"Thank you, your excellency. I have other matters to attend to and must leave now. If there is any issue with the seal in the future, please have someone notify me promptly," Long Yurou said.
"Mhm!"
Chu Feng nodded.
Long Yurou took one more glance at Chu Feng before turning to leave.
"It must be my imagination."
Such a thought simultaneously surfaced in the minds of both Chu Feng and Long Yurou.
Shaking her head, Long Yurou walked on while sending her Emperor’s Thought into the Jade Scroll to examine it.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, her face turning grim.
"A million Blood Puppets in Cangzhou? Cangzhou, Desolate State, Demon State, Fire State all infiltrated by Blood Demons? The Blood Pond can corrode the power of fate? The Blood Demon Hall is plotting to rescue the Ancient Blood Demon?"
She had initially thought it was merely another faction seeking to rebel and seize power, but now it seemed the situation was far graver than she anticipated.
With a serious expression, she tore through space and departed.
