Chapter 296: Too Many Treasures, Crushing the House
Somewhere underground in the Nine Provinces, hundreds of blood-robed people gathered in a blood-colored hall.
The blood-robed person sitting at the highest point of the hall said in a chilling voice, “The two ‘rats’ on the surface are dead, and we’ve lost two blood pools. We may have been exposed. What do you all think we should do now?”
“Your Excellency, the old Martial God of the empire has left. Whether he ascended or died during the ascension, it is good news for us. I believe that the plan to subvert the Nine Provinces and save our master can be launched ahead of schedule,” a blood-robed person spoke.
“I also agree to launch it ahead of schedule.”
More than half of the blood-robed people echoed their agreement.
“Ahead of schedule? But we haven’t fully infiltrated the Nine Provinces yet. With the loss of the blood pools in Cangzhou and the Wasteland Province, we can only travel to Cangzhou and the Wasteland Province by crossing the provincial seas, which will take a long time. Now, we can only mobilize the forces of the Demon Province and Fire Province in a short time. If we launch the plan now, the Middle Province can at least mobilize the forces of Lánzhōu, the Wasteland Province, and the Middle Province. We have no chance of winning. If Long Province and Cloud Province join forces with the Middle Province, we will undoubtedly be defeated,” a blood-robed person questioned.
“Indeed, it is not wise to launch the plan now.” A small number of blood-robed people disagreed with launching the plan ahead of schedule, and the two sides argued endlessly.
“Quiet!”
The Blood Demon Envoy sitting at the highest point pondered for a moment and said, “Let the Demon Province make their move first to draw their attention to the Demon Province. Tell the people in Fire Province to hide well and not reveal any flaws. Some of you go to Cangzhou and the Wasteland Province and bring the blood puppets there to Fire Province. The rest of you go to Jin Hong and infiltrate Qi Lan at the slowest speed. As for Long Province, there is a strange aura hidden in the eight golden lights that descended from the sky. You go and confirm it yourself. In addition, send more people to find the lost blood pools.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
This Senior is really willing to spend a lot to protect the two little toddlers.
But it’s not strange that the spiritual energy here is so rich, and it’s the secluded place of that Senior, so it’s not surprising that a Martial Emperor was born here.
Old Chu Xin, is dead?
What exactly happened in the God Realm? Why did Old Chu Xin fall during his ascension? And why did he seal the ascension gates of the Nine Provinces?
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Chu Chen could naturally understand that Old Chu Xin was really dead.
The Martial Emperor said aggrievedly in a low voice, “You took more than me.”
Becoming Chu Xin and ascending to the God Realm is the ultimate dream of every cultivator.
Chu Chen was a little unhappy. Girls, you know, they care about their weight from a young age.
He thought for a moment, took out two tokens, and said, “Xin’er, Chen’er, you’ve used up your previous spirit body tokens. Here are two more spirit body tokens for you. They can summon a Peak Martial God spirit body, but they can only be used three times.”
But Old Chu Xin fell during his ascension, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the cultivators of the Nine Provinces, giving them a feeling of their beliefs collapsing.
Chu Chen beside him opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock.
After becoming Chu Xin, he had new insights into the refining of talismans and formation stones. He believed that this time he could definitely refine Emperor-level talismans and formation stones.
Cloud Province slapped the back of his head and scolded, “Who told you to take out so much? You’ve crushed Village Chief Grandpa’s house.”
Moreover, the excess items continued to spread outward, covering an area the size of more than a dozen courtyards before stopping.
◈◈◈
“Oh.”
Cloud Province and the Martial Emperor’s eyes lit up, and they quickly took the tokens with a smile.
In Dàshí Village, Chu Xin and Chu Chen looked at the sky curiously, their faces full of doubt.
At the top, the cultivation techniques vibrated, and two big and two small heads emerged from the pile of treasures, their bodies still buried in the treasures.
Chu Chen bowed to Chu Feng and quickly followed.
“Uncle, this is Village Chief Grandpa’s house. If you need anything in the future, just ask Village Chief Grandpa.”
“Good, good, good, you’ve grown taller, but not heavier.”
Chu Chen greeted the Old Village Chief, but he was a little surprised. There was actually a Martial Emperor in this small village?
“My name is Chu Chen, greetings to the Village Chief.”
Chu Xin scratched her bun and whispered, “Sister, did we take out too much?”
Moreover, this was only a part of the treasures in their rings, not all of them. Otherwise, the entire village probably wouldn’t be able to hold them.
“Don’t be so polite. Now that you’re in Dàshí Village, just treat it like your own home. I’ll arrange a courtyard for you later. From now on, you’ll be a member of our Dàshí Village,” the Old Village Chief said with a smile.
But the Old Village Chief didn’t hear it. At this moment, he was just like Chu Chen, staring at the mountain of treasures in a daze.
“This is an uncle we met outside. He’s a good person. Dad asked us to bring him to the village to have a look. He’ll be living in our village from now on,” Chu Xin said with a grin.
All the blood-robed people responded in unison.
Chu Feng smiled, but his heart trembled.
Chu Chen thanked him.
The Old Village Chief held Chu Xin and Chu Chen and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, smiling as he asked, “You two little ones, did you gain anything from sneaking out this time?”
After all, this was what they got from emptying three provincial governor’s mansions and seven sacred grounds.
◈◈◈
Chu Xin and Chu Chen hopped away.
With a wave of their little hands, cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, pills, spiritual herbs, and so on, all poured out from their spatial rings, completely submerging the Village Chief’s entire courtyard.
“Dad, here you go.”
After a while, the Old Village Chief’s hearty laughter rang out, and then a figure flashed out of the house and picked up Chu Xin and Chu Chen. “Yo, you’ve grown heavier.”
The Old Village Chief had no children and had always treated Chu Xin and Chu Chen as his own grandchildren, doting on them very much.
“Alright, go on.” Chu Feng waved his hand.
Chu Xin turned to the Old Village Chief and said apologetically, “Village Chief Grandpa, I’m sorry for crushing your house.”
“Senior, I’ll take my leave.”
Chu Feng naturally knew what Chu Chen was feeling. Even he felt a little uneasy. He turned his head to look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen. Now the Nine Provinces were even more dangerous, but these two little ones probably wouldn’t stay at home obediently. Logically speaking, with the two little ones’ cultivation, they shouldn’t be able to break through the restriction Chu Xin left behind, but he always felt that it wasn’t reliable.
Not let them succeed? Who are ‘they’? Gods from the Upper Realm?
“You’ve grown taller, but not heavier.”
At this time, Chu Xin and Chu Chen brought Chu Chen into a large courtyard and shouted loudly, “Village Chief Grandpa, we’re back.”
“Thank you, Village Chief.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen took out their masks and handed them to Chu Feng.
“Senior, Old Chu Xin, he…”
The Old Village Chief looked at Chu Chen meaningfully. This was being grounded by Little Feng.
Chu Chen’s eyes showed a trace of fear, and his face was full of disbelief.
“Alright, Dad.”
What are those eight golden lights?
The Old Village Chief was full of affection, then turned to look at Chu Chen and asked, “This is?”
If one could cultivate here, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
“Hiss! Such rich spiritual energy.”
Chu Feng glanced at him and said lightly, “From now on, you are a villager of Dàshí Village. Don’t worry about the empire’s affairs.”
“Haha, you’re finally back.”
“Dad, what’s that?”
“Oh dear! I’m suffocating.”
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Chu Chen took a deep breath.
Chu Feng smiled and said, “Give me your masks.”
The spiritual energy in this village was countless times richer than that of the Cangzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion. Even the spiritual energy of the two great sacred grounds in Cangzhou was inferior to this village.
Looks like I need to go to the sealed land in the Imperial Capital ahead of schedule.
Refining a token that can accommodate a spirit body requires very precious materials, and ordinary cultivators may not be able to gather them even after searching for a lifetime. And a token that can accommodate a Peak Martial God spirit body is already at the level of a Peak Emperor Weapon, requiring even more precious materials and even more difficult refining.
“Nothing.”
After the siblings disappeared from sight, Chu Feng got up and left.
A Peak Martial God spirit body, and it can be summoned a total of three times, which means three Peak Martial Gods. This protection method is really a bit terrifying.
“A Peak Martial God spirit body? That’s amazing! Thank you, Dad.”
What he asked was naturally about finding their mother, but the two little ones obviously didn’t understand. They said excitedly, “We gained a lot.”
Before going to the Imperial Capital, he needed to refine some more talismans and formation stones for the siblings.
