Chapter 422: Grandmother Wang, We Have Plenty of Dishwashing Water
“Should we continue pouring dishwashing water on Grandmother Wang?” Chu Chen looked at Wang Lanxi’s pained expression and asked hesitantly.
Chu Xin tilted her head in thought, stared at Wang Lanxi carefully, and then said, “Pour, keep pouring. That nasty aura inside Grandmother Wang seems to be afraid of our dishwashing water. This pain isn’t Grandmother Wang’s, it’s that monster’s.”
“Oh!”
Chu Chen nodded and continued manipulating the jade bottle, pouring more “dishwashing water” onto Wang Lanxi.
Roar!
A beast-like roar erupted from Wang Lanxi’s mouth, but the black-red aura of slaughter and destruction in her eyes gradually receded.
After an unknown amount of time, the dense black-red killing fiend Qi completely retreated into her body, and her eyes finally regained clarity.
“Purifying Water, cleansing all filth in the world, it truly is effective against it.”
Wang Lanxi closed her eyes, taking deep breaths of fresh air, a joyful smile appearing on her face.
Before, she could only desperately suppress the demon within her, preventing it from emerging.
Even if it did emerge, she would only release a tiny bit, just enough for her to maintain control.
Up until now, she had only fully released it three times.
The first time was during the last ancestral worship. She was schemed against by Long Yusheng, and accidentally released it completely. Her husband, in order to suppress it, exhausted almost all of his energy and ultimately fell victim to Long Yusheng’s poisonous hand.
The second time was during the assassination attempt on Long Yusheng. Unfortunately, it failed, and she was suppressed by those three Half-step Martial Gods working together and imprisoned in the dungeon.
The third time was this time.
In order to break the Ten-Layered Formation set up by the Blood Demon Envoy and the others, and rescue everyone from the Middle Province.
Although she knew that Purifying Water was incredibly effective against the demon within her, she hadn’t actually held much hope.
To suppress the demon while it was fully released required an enormous amount of Purifying Water. She didn’t think those two little ones could possibly have that much.
Unexpectedly, the amount of Purifying Water these two little ones possessed was astonishing, simply inconceivable.
That was Purifying Water, not actual dishwashing water! It was a rare treasure that even Peak Martial Emperors, even Martial Gods, might not be able to obtain. How could these two little ones have so much, as if it were truly ordinary “dishwashing water”?
She raised her head, looking at the small jade bottle above, still continuously pouring out large amounts of Purifying Water that showered down on her. She couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
“Such a waste.”
She muttered to herself, then turned to Chu Xin and Chu Chen, saying, “Enough, enough, don’t waste it.”
“Wow! Grandmother Wang is finally awake!” Chu Chen cheered, putting the small jade bottle away.
“Grandmother Wang, you’re finally awake.”
A smile appeared on Chu Xin’s delicate face hidden beneath the mask, her round eyes curving into crescent moons.
Looking at the two little ones, Wang Lanxi said sincerely, “Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, thank you. I didn’t expect you to actually have so much ‘dishwashing water’.”
She didn’t reveal the true name of the water, lest it attract the covetous gaze of the Blood Demon Envoy and the others. She simply emphasized the words “dishwashing water.”
Chu Chen said with a grin, “We told you, we have lots and lots of dishwashing water.”
Wang Lanxi nodded, a strange light flickering in her eyes. With these two little ones around, wouldn’t she be able to release the demon at any time, and then have them use the Purifying Water to awaken her?
She rubbed Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s little heads, and said seriously, “Don’t worry, Grandmother will definitely help you find your mother.”
If it weren’t for these two little ones, she would have truly become a Killing Fiend from now on, with no way to turn back.
“Thank you, Grandmother Wang.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen repeatedly nodded their thanks.
The surrounding Blood Demon Envoy and others watched this scene, their eyes flickering, but they still didn’t dare to approach.
The deterrent effect of the Killing Fiend was simply too strong. Even though the Killing Fiend seemed to have regained her senses, they didn’t dare to act rashly.
“Grandmother Wang, let’s quickly go to the Long Clan Ancestral Land. We’re waiting to finish the business there, and then you can take us to find Mother,” Chu Xin urged.
“Mm!”
Wang Lanxi nodded, turned to look at the Blood Demon Envoy and the others not far away, and suddenly opened her mouth to let out an angry roar.
The Blood Demon Envoy and the others were startled. Thinking that the crazy woman was going to transform into the Killing Fiend again, they hurriedly retreated.
“Hahahaha!”
Seeing this, Wang Lanxi suddenly burst into laughter, turned, and tore through the void, departing.
◈◈◈
“Cowards.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen glanced disdainfully at the Blood Demon Envoy and the others, then turned and left with Wang Lanxi.
“Damn brats, damn crazy woman.”
Hegemon Saber Sect Master and the others cursed angrily, but remembering the terror of Wang Lanxi transformed into a Killing Fiend, they dared not rashly pursue, only able to stay where they were, fuming.
“Let’s go, to the ancestral land.”
The Blood Demon Envoy narrowed his eyes and tore through the void towards the Long Clan Ancestral Land.
The Hegemon Saber Sect Master and the others quickly followed.
Long Yusheng had taken them to the entrance of the Long Clan Ancestral Land before, so they naturally knew the way.
According to Long Yusheng, outsiders could not enter the Long Clan Ancestral Land, otherwise, they would be obliterated by the divine might left behind by the ancestors.
Therefore, the Empress’s guards could not enter either and could only wait at the entrance.
Their task was to hold back, or even kill, the Middle Province people on the periphery after the battle in the ancestral land erupted.
◈◈◈
Long Yufei’s Residence Hall.
Long Yufei paced anxiously.
Long Yurou took a sip of tea and said speechlessly, “Yufei, you are usually very calm, why are you so restless today?”
Long Yufei turned and sat down, took a sip of tea, and said urgently, “Big Sister, we are about to go to the Long Clan Ancestral Land, but they haven’t returned yet. I’m worried that something happened to them, and I’m also worried that there will be no one to escort Big Sister to the Long Clan Ancestral Land. How can I calm down?”
Long Yurou frowned slightly upon hearing this and sighed, “I hope nothing happened to them.”
The people sent to the Long Province dungeon were almost the empire’s most elite fighting force. If they were lost here, it would undoubtedly be a very heavy blow to the empire.
“Your Majesty!”
At this moment, two figures tore through the void and quickly appeared in the hall.
Thump, thump!
The two knelt on the ground, their faces full of guilt.
Long Yurou and Long Yufei’s hearts both lurched. Seeing their expressions, the situation seemed very bad.
Long Yurou, being the Empress, quickly calmed down and asked, “What happened? Where are Old Wine and the others?”
The Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master sighed and said, “Your Majesty, we underestimated the ambush Long Yusheng laid in the dungeon. As soon as Old Wine and the others arrived at the ore vein, they were enveloped by a Ten-Layered Formation. There was even a Half-step Martial God realm expert personally leading the enemy. After fighting for a day and a night, the Dragon Guard suffered almost half casualties. We were worried that Your Majesty would have no one to protect you on your way to the ancestral land, so we had to come back first. We hope Old Wine and the others can hold on until the ancestral worship is over.”
“A Ten-Layered Formation? And a Half-step Martial God leading the team?”
Long Yufei’s face darkened. “That Long Yusheng, how despicable!”
“That Half-step Martial God was not one of the three Half-step Martial Gods we saw before, but another guy in blood robes. By the way, there were also several blood-robed Martial Emperors there,” the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master said gravely.
“People from the Blood Demon Hall.”
Long Yurou’s eyes flashed, and she instantly guessed the identities of those blood-robed people.
The old woman said ashamedly, “Your Majesty, please forgive us. We did not rescue the Empress Dowager, nor did we see those two children. We couldn’t even rescue Old Wine and the others.”
“This is not your fault. We underestimated Long Yusheng.”
Long Yurou waved her hand and said coldly, “If Old Wine and the others die in battle, We will eradicate the Blood Demon Hall, leaving no one alive. All the Martial Emperors and Sacred Grounds of Long Province will be eliminated to avenge them. Let’s go, to the ancestral land first.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master and the old woman nodded in unison.
Then the four of them tore through space and disappeared.
