Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Indestructible Golden Eggs, Long Shaoyu’s Choice

Two golden eggs dashed about in the sky above the divine pool. The combined attacks of the numerous prodigies could not hinder them in the slightest. Any protective barriers, defensive formations, or defensive magical artifacts shattered instantly upon impact with the golden eggs.

Miserable screams echoed through the sky. Prodigies were sent flying everywhere, coughing up blood. The scene was both spectacular and chaotic.

Su Qingyu frowned slightly as she watched the chaotic scene, but ultimately did not intervene.

Unlike the others, she was not here to compete for the Ancient Divine Lotus, but merely for experience.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion had fallen on hard times, and her strength was not comparable to those few. She was well aware of her own limitations.

The reason she came here with Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai was twofold: firstly, opportunities in other places had already been taken by others; secondly, her master had told her to unite with the prodigies of the Middle Province, to ensure the unity of the major powers of the Middle Province, and not to let the major powers of the Middle Province fall into conflict during this time of hidden turmoil.

Previously, she had indeed dealt with many dangers together with Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai. But she had a very strange intuition about these two brats, that she should not make enemies of them.

Therefore, even though ninety percent of the prodigies were attacking the two golden eggs, and even though Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai urged her several times, she did not make a move.

“Young Master, should we make a move?”

The young archer asked in a low voice.

The square-faced youth also looked at Long Shaoyu. They all knew that Long Shaoyu had entered the secret realm specifically for this divine lotus.

The previous attempt to win over the two brats was also to have them hold back the other prodigies, so that he could fish in troubled waters and snatch the divine lotus.

Originally, everything was going according to plan. But no one expected that the divine lotus actually had a guardian, and a protective formation, causing all their plans to come to naught.

What they didn’t expect even more was that the question of the Divine Lotus Guardian was so bizarre, and that the two brats actually answered it correctly.

Now, the two brats had most likely eaten the divine lotus and turned into two golden eggs.

Within these golden eggs, there might be uneaten remnants of the divine lotus, or perhaps undigested ancient divine power. As long as the golden eggs were broken, there should be a high probability of obtaining great benefits.

Long Shaoyu frowned, not answering, his expression very ugly.

Thinking back carefully, it seemed that every time he tried to scheme against these two brats, his plans would inexplicably fail, and instead, these two brats would gain great benefits.

The question of the Divine Lotus Guardian seemed to be tailor-made for the two brats.

If they weren’t in this secret realm, he would even suspect that the Divine Lotus Guardian was the father of the two brats. Otherwise, how could he have designed two such bizarre questions that perfectly matched the two brats?

Whoosh!

As he was lost in thought, a golden light shot through the air.

“Young Master, be careful.”

The square-faced youth and the young archer shouted in unison, wanting to step forward to block it. But the golden light was too fast, arriving in an instant, passing between the two of them, heading straight for Long Shaoyu.

Long Shaoyu was also startled. He was just about to mobilize his True Qi and Rule power to defend, but before he could even activate them, the golden light had already arrived in front of him. A huge golden egg hovered before him, but it did not attack him.

The golden egg circled around him, bouncing up and down, seeming very happy.

After circling a few times, it once again transformed into a golden light and shot through the air, crashing into a prodigy. With a miserable scream, the prodigy coughed up blood and was sent flying.

Long Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the two golden eggs shuttling through the crowd, he made a decision in his heart.

“Young Master, that golden egg recognizes you. It must be that brat.”

The square-faced youth said in a low voice.

The young archer also nodded and said, “And their consciousness is clear. They just might not be able to get out of the golden eggs for the time being.”

“Prepare for battle!”

Long Shaoyu said in a deep voice.

“Alright!”

The young archer drew his bow and nocked an arrow, saying, “Young Master, don’t worry. No matter how hard this golden egg is, I’ll shoot a hole through it.”

Pa!

Long Shaoyu slapped the back of his head, making him stagger and almost fall from the sky.

“Young Master?”

The young archer rubbed the back of his head, looking aggrieved and confused. Didn’t you say to prepare for battle?

Long Shaoyu said exasperatedly, “I meant to protect the golden eggs and fight against the other prodigies.”

“Ah?”

◈◈◈

The young archer’s mouth fell open, his face full of astonishment.

However, Long Shaoyu did not explain further. He had already charged forward with his Saint Sword, flame sword Qi crisscrossing the sky. Wherever he passed, countless prodigies were unable to react in time and were cut to ashes by the flame sword Qi.

“Let’s go, don’t think about it.”

The square-faced youth patted the still-dazed young archer and also charged forward.

“Alright.”

The young archer shook his head, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow. A series of arrows condensed from True Qi shot through the air, severely injuring countless prodigies.

The sudden turn of events caught the other prodigies off guard. Many were struck down before they could even react.

“Long Shaoyu, what are you doing?”

Mu Yebai shouted in a deep voice.

Su Qingyu didn’t make a move, but at least she remained neutral. But Long Shaoyu was actually helping the two golden eggs attack the other prodigies. It was simply unforgivable.

“Brother Mu, you don’t know. This Long Shaoyu and those two brats are in cahoots. When we were fighting for the God Sword Fruit, it was Long Shaoyu who held us back, allowing those two brats to steal and eat the God Sword Fruit,” Lang Tianya said coldly.

“Then kill him.”

Li Yuxin said coldly.

At this moment, Long Shaotian was entangled with the Two-Headed Fire Xi. It was her best opportunity to seize the divine lotus. As long as she shattered these two golden eggs, she would definitely gain something. She couldn’t allow anyone to interfere.

“Kill!”

The other prodigies shouted in unison. A portion of them turned to attack Long Shaoyu and his two companions.

Long Shaoyu and his two companions were naturally unable to withstand the combined attacks of so many prodigies, especially since there were Young Martial Saints among them whose cultivation was higher than his. The three of them were forced to retreat, and the square-faced youth and the young archer were even seriously injured.

Long Shaoyu turned to look at the two golden eggs, only to find that they had suddenly stopped moving in mid-air. No matter how the other prodigies attacked, they remained motionless.

It seems I can only take this last step.

Long Shaoyu took a deep breath, took out a token, and held it in the air. Then he formed hand seals and pointed at the token, his flame Rule power surging into it. He shouted, “Please, Elder, assist me.”

Buzz!

The token vibrated, and a powerful energy fluctuation rippled out.

“Long Shaoyu, you actually summoned a senior from your clan for those two brats?”

Lei Wanjun’s tone was somber. To be summoned as a trump card by a Young Martial Saint, the person summoned must at least be at the peak of the Martial Saint realm.

They alone could not deal with a peak Martial Saint. Unless they also summoned their sect elders.

But in this secret realm, elders did not meet the conditions for entry. Once summoned, they would be attacked by the rules of the secret realm. The summoned elders would only have one, at most two, chances to attack before they would almost certainly die. No one was willing to use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.

Long Shaoyu did not speak. As long as he could lure the two brats to Cangzhou and have them work for him, sacrificing a peak Martial Saint was worth it.

Moreover, if these two brats still had uneaten fragments of the divine lotus, he could still gain some benefits.

The value of these two brats was much higher than that of a peak Martial Saint.

“Shaoyu, I hope my sacrifice is worth it.”

A sigh came from the token. The next moment, an aged figure appeared out of thin air.

Boom!

The moment he appeared, the entire sky of the secret realm was filled with dark clouds, and terrifying lightning flashed within them.
