Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Going Deeper into the Illusion God Mountain Range

“Whether it works or not, we’ll know once we try.”

Long Yufei picked up a mask, hesitated for a moment, and put it on her face.

“Your Highness, you are of noble status, how can you risk yourself? Let me try it first. The Empress is a Martial Emperor and has a stronger resistance to the peripheral Illusion God Power. She cannot test the true effect of this mask.”

Ye Hongxue stopped Long Yufei, then picked up a mask and put it on. She turned to Chu Xin and said, “Ai Chirou, let me out.”

“Okay!”

Chu Xin took a big bite of the grilled meat, then waved her small, fair hand, conjuring a spatial gate.

Ye Hongxue took a deep breath, with an air of someone going to their death, and stepped into the spatial gate.

Long Yufei’s lips moved, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

Buzz!

The Spirit Gathering Pool was still frantically devouring the Illusion God Power. Countless Illusion Beasts continued to surge towards the Spirit Gathering Pool, only to be slain by Chu Xin’s eight Battle Bodies.

The coffin lid opened, and Ye Hongxue climbed out of the God Coffin, floating in the air. A large amount of Illusion God Power rushed towards her, but then strangely bypassed her.

“This mask can actually isolate the Illusion God Power.”

Ye Hongxue’s heart was filled with shock. For so many years, no force in the Nine Provinces Empire had been able to develop an artifact that could isolate the Illusion God Power. She didn’t expect these people to have actually developed one.

Although this mask had a sinister and cold aura, and it felt uncomfortable to wear, compared to the effect of isolating the Illusion God Power, it was not worth mentioning.

Whoosh!

Long Yufei appeared beside her wearing a mask, feeling the Illusion God Power bypassing her, her eyes flashed with excitement.

“Good! This mask can indeed isolate the Illusion God Power.”

But then, the smile on her face gradually faded, and a trace of worry appeared between her brows.

“Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Ye Hongxue asked with uncertainty, “With this mask, we don’t have to worry about being eroded by the Illusion God Power. Why is Your Highness not happy at all?”

Long Yufei sighed and said, “Although these people are wearing the clothes of our Middle Province, they must be Long Province Cultivators. I even suspect that Long Yusheng’s bringing the Long Province Prodigies to pressure Elder Sister into the Two Provinces Prodigy Competition is not really to force her to abdicate, but to buy time for these Long Province Cultivators, to attract the attention of the Middle Province, so that they can quietly cross the Illusion God Mountain Range and lurk in the Middle Province. If they have enough of these masks, they can even form an army and directly cross the Illusion God Mountain Range to launch a surprise attack on the Middle Province.”

“This!”

Ye Hongxue was immediately stunned. If this were true, the consequences would be unimaginable. She didn’t know what to say for a moment. After a long silence, she looked at the mountain of Long Province Cultivators with dazed eyes and asked, “Your Highness, then what should we do with these people?”

“Kill them all.”

Long Yufei’s eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep voice.

“Okay!”

Ye Hongxue nodded. With a wave of her long sword, a vast expanse of Heartless Sword Qi swept through the air, killing all the Long Province Cultivators who were trapped in the illusion.

Until their deaths, they were still immersed in the illusion, not even letting out a scream. They died silently and without pain.

Boom!

Just then, the Spirit Gathering Pool in the air suddenly shook and flew into the God Coffin.

“Why did it stop absorbing energy?”

Long Yufei and Ye Hongxue were stunned and returned to the God Coffin.

Chu Chen, while gnawing on the grilled meat, said in a childish voice, “Auntie Long, Auntie Ye, the Spirit Gathering Pool has already absorbed enough energy. As long as it converts this energy into divine water, Elder Sister can eat it.”

“How long will it take?”

Long Yufei thought for a moment and asked.

“I don’t know, probably a few days.”

Chu Chen thought for a moment and said.

He didn’t know how long a few days were, but he thought it should be about right.

“A few days?”

Long Yufei fell into thought. After a moment, she said, “Then you stay here and don’t run around. I will take these masks back to the Imperial Capital and report to Elder Sister.”

“Okay, Auntie Long, go ahead, we won’t run around.”

◈◈◈

Chu Xin, who was eating grilled meat, waved her oily little hand and said vaguely.

Hmm?

Long Yufei’s eyelids twitched. Why did this sound like she was cursing her?

She turned her head to look at the Little Babies who were seriously eating grilled meat, shook her head secretly, gave a few instructions to Ye Hongxue, and then turned to leave.

With the disappearance of the Spirit Gathering Pool, the Illusion God Power that had been surging in from all directions gradually returned to normal, and naturally, no new Illusion Beasts arrived. The remaining Illusion Beasts were quickly killed by Chu Xin’s eight Battle Bodies.

After Chu Xin had her Battle Bodies collect all the Illusion Beast corpses, she withdrew them. Her oily little hand formed hand seals, and the God Coffin whooshed through the air.

“Ai Chirou, where are you going?” Ye Hongxue was startled and quickly asked.

“Going deeper to take a look. The Illusion Beasts there must be more delicious,” Chu Xin said without turning her head.

Deeper?

Ye Hongxue was taken aback and quickly tried to dissuade her, “The deeper you go, the stronger the Illusion God Power and the stronger the Illusion Beasts. You can’t go there.”

“Auntie Ye, don’t worry. The Illusion God Power is useless against us. Besides, we’re not stupid. If we encounter Illusion Beasts we can’t defeat, we’ll run.” Chu Xin turned her head to look at Ye Hongxue and grinned.

Ye Hongxue’s brows furrowed. She said weakly, “Didn’t you just promise Her Highness the Princess that you wouldn’t run around?”

Chu Chen, who was eating grilled meat on the side, raised his head and said innocently, “Auntie Ye, we’re not running around. Aren’t we still in the Illusion God Mountain Range?”

“……”

Ye Hongxue was immediately speechless. The two brats’ understanding of “not running around” and the Princess’s understanding of “not running around” were a bit different.

I hope nothing happens.

She knew she couldn’t stop these two brats and could only pray silently in her heart.

At the same time, in the Imperial Capital, in the Imperial Study.

“Elder Sister, these are the strange masks seized from a group of Long Province Cultivators in the Illusion God Mountain Range. They can isolate the Illusion God Power.”

Long Yufei took out the blood-colored masks and floated them in front of Long Yurou.

Ancient Blood Demon Qi?

Long Yurou felt the aura on the masks, her body trembled, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes.

Although this Ancient Blood Demon Qi was not pure, she would never mistake it. The aura emanating from these masks was indeed Ancient Blood Demon Qi.

But wasn’t the Ancient Blood Demon sealed in the Martial God Mansion?

Where did these Long Province Cultivators get the Ancient Blood Demon Qi?

Blood Puppets?

Or the person behind the creation of the Blood Puppets?

Long Yurou put away the masks and asked, “Have those two brats made a breakthrough yet?”

“Not yet. It will probably take a few more days.”

Long Yufei asked, “Elder Sister, how much longer can we hold on?”

“At most, six more days.”

Long Yurou’s eyes flickered slightly and she said, “Today, three matches were held, and all were defeated by the Long Province Prodigies in one move. To buy time, I proposed that only one match be held per day for the rest, and Long Yusheng agreed. We can still lose six matches. They must return before the last match begins.”

Long Yufei was not surprised by the results of the matches. She asked in surprise, “Only one match per day, and Long Yusheng actually agreed?”

Long Yurou looked down at the blood-colored mask in her hand and said in a deep voice, “I was still wondering before, but now it seems that they also want to buy time, to give these people time. Or, he has other plans.”

Long Yufei nodded. She had also had such a guess before.

Long Yurou raised her head and said, “You go back to the Illusion God Mountain Range first and urge those two brats to break through as soon as possible. I will first find someone to study these masks and see if we can replicate them.”

“Yes, Elder Sister.”

Long Yufei turned and left.

Long Yurou put away the blood-colored masks and walked towards the Martial God Mansion.
