Chapter 371: Where Did That Female Prisoner Go?
“Greetings, Commander.”
The teleportation formation guards brought Chu Xin and the purple-haired Chu Chen to the sky above Blazing Fire City and saluted a man with a dignified appearance.
“Mm!”
The Commander nodded, his gaze turning to Chu Xin and the purple-haired Chu Chen, his eyes filled with intense curiosity and a hint of shock.
“Uncle, are you the Commander of Blazing Fire City?”
Chu Xin looked at the man curiously.
“Yes, little one, where are you from? To have such strength at such a young age is truly unbelievable.”
The Commander looked at Chu Xin and the purple-haired Chu Chen, equally curious.
As a Peak Martial Emperor of the Middle Province, he was familiar with almost all the forces in the Middle Province, but he had never heard of any force with such monstrous prodigies.
If he had known earlier that there were such prodigies in the Middle Province, there would have been no need to fear Long Shaotian and the other Middle Province prodigies.
“We are from the Barbecue Sect.”
The purple-haired Chu Chen raised his little head and said proudly.
“Barbecue Sect?”
The teleportation formation guards, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but roll their eyes. Even if they were going to make up a fake name, they should at least make it sound believable. This name was obviously nonsense.
The Commander’s mouth also twitched slightly, but he didn’t delve into it. He just said with some emotion, “If you had appeared earlier, you could have represented the Middle Province prodigies. Her Majesty wouldn’t have been so passive.”
“Middle Province prodigies? You mean those big bad guys? I already helped Her Majesty the Empress chase them away.”
Chu Xin waved her little white fist and said proudly.
“Already chased them away?”
The Commander was taken aback, then overjoyed. So this little one had already represented the Middle Province in the Two Provinces Prodigy Competition. With his strength, defeating that Initial Stage Martial Emperor Long Shaotian wouldn’t be difficult.
In that case, Her Majesty wouldn’t be forced to abdicate.
“That’s right. Her Majesty the Empress even gave me this.”
Chu Xin took out the Golden Dragon Token and shook it, her face full of pride.
“Golden Dragon Token?”
The Commander was startled when he saw it and quickly bowed in salute. He thought to himself, “I didn’t expect Her Majesty to bestow the Golden Dragon Token upon this little toddler.”
But thinking about it, it wasn’t strange. This little toddler had chased away the Middle Province prodigies and helped Her Majesty stabilize her throne. It was indeed a great contribution.
“Uncle, where are the female prisoners you brought out from the Imperial Prison? Why isn’t there a single female prisoner here?” Chu Xin asked curiously.
“Female prisoners?”
The Commander was puzzled. Why was this little toddler asking about this? But he looked at the Golden Dragon Token in the little toddler’s hand. Seeing the token was like seeing Her Majesty. Lying to the holder of the Golden Dragon Token was equivalent to deceiving the ruler, a crime he dared not commit. He answered truthfully, “There weren’t many female prisoners in the Imperial Prison to begin with. They were scattered between Blazing Fire City and Wolf City, and almost all of them died in the attacks of the Blood Puppet Army.”
“All dead?”
The purple-haired Chu Chen became anxious upon hearing this and asked urgently, “What about the female prisoner on the ninth level of the Imperial Prison? Is she dead too?”
“That female prisoner?”
The Commander’s gaze focused, he hesitated for a moment, then said, “No, she’s not. But after leaving the Imperial Capital, she broke free from her shackles and escaped, saying she was going to Long Province. She is very strong. Although she looked like a Peak Martial Emperor, her true combat power far exceeds that of a Peak Martial Emperor. Even when the two of us, both Peak Martial Emperors, joined forces, we couldn’t stop her. Moreover, the situation at the front line was urgent, so we didn’t dare to chase her. We were planning to report to Her Majesty after the situation stabilized.”
“She went to Long Province?”
Chu Xin and the purple-haired Chu Chen’s eyes lit up. As long as she wasn’t dead, that was good.
“Why are you asking about this?”
The Commander asked with uncertainty.
“I…”
The purple-haired Chu Chen was about to speak when Chu Xin interrupted him.
She said with a smile, “Just curious. We heard that the ninth level of the Imperial Prison holds the most powerful prisoners, so we wanted to see what she looked like. It’s a pity, why did she run away?”
◈◈◈
Although the Commander didn’t believe this explanation, he didn’t continue to ask. He just warned, “If you encounter her in the future, you should stay far away from her. There’s something strange about her.”
“Got it, Uncle.”
Chu Xin nodded and said in a childish voice, “Uncle, we’ve also dealt with the Blood Puppets here. The remaining ones shouldn’t pose much of a threat to you. We should be going now.”
“Back to the Imperial Capital? Please help me report the news of the female prisoner’s escape to Her Majesty,” the Commander said.
“Okay, Uncle.”
Chu Xin waved her little white hand and pulled the purple-haired Chu Chen away. Before leaving, she turned to the teleportation formation guard and said with a smile, “Thank you, Big Brother.”
“You’re welcome!”
The teleportation formation guard quickly replied.
After watching the two siblings leave, he sighed, “It’s really frustrating to compare oneself to others. I’ve been cultivating for over a thousand years, but I’m still not as strong as two toddlers who are not even five years old.”
The Commander smiled and said, “The world is vast, and in every era, there are always one or two monstrous geniuses who dominate their time. They are likely the monstrous prodigies destined to dominate this era. Comparing yourself to them is just asking for humiliation.”
“The Commander is right.”
The teleportation formation guard nodded.
“Commander, Her Highness the Princess has arrived.”
Just then, a guard flew up to the Commander and said respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yufei appeared before them.
“Greetings, Your Highness. What instructions do you have for coming to the front line?”
The Commander quickly saluted and asked.
Long Yufei looked around. She didn’t see the so-called Blood Puppets, nor did she see the two little toddlers. She couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Have you seen two little toddlers come here?”
“Little toddlers?”
The Commander was stunned for a moment, then said, “There were indeed two little toddlers, and one of them had a Golden Dragon Token.”
“Yes, that’s them. Where are they?” Long Yufei quickly asked.
“They’ve already left.”
The Commander said, “They helped us deal with the Blood Puppet Army, then asked about the female prisoner held in the ninth level of the Imperial Prison before leaving. Oh, and please inform Her Majesty that the female prisoner escaped to Long Province shortly after leaving the Imperial Capital.”
“Where did those two little toddlers go?”
Long Yufei didn’t listen carefully to the latter part. She just wanted to find the two little toddlers as soon as possible.
“This way!”
The Commander pointed in a direction.
Long Yufei’s body flashed, and she disappeared. But after a while, she returned. She had chased in the direction the Commander pointed for a long distance, but she didn’t find any trace of the two little toddlers. Thinking about Ai Chirou’s God Coffin, if it was controlled by a Martial Emperor level existence, its speed would be extremely terrifying. She couldn’t possibly catch up.
“By the way, where did you say that female prisoner escaped to?”
Long Yufei frowned and asked.
“Long Province.”
The Commander said respectfully.
“Long Province? In that case, those two little toddlers must also be going to Long Province.”
Long Yufei frowned and muttered to herself, “Because of the Two Provinces Prodigy Competition, Long Yusheng that guy hates those two little toddlers to the bone. Even if he doesn’t know their identities, he will definitely want to kill them. If they know that those two little toddlers have gone to Long Province, that will be troublesome.”
She took a deep breath and turned to leave. She had to report this matter to her sister immediately.
