Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 423

Chapter 423: Empress Enters the Ancestral Land

Entrance to the Long Clan Ancestral Land.

“Your Majesty, you’ve arrived.”

Provincial Governor Long, with his wife and son, Long Shaotian, along with some Martial Saint level guards, came forward to welcome them.

“En! Let’s go.”

Long Yurou nodded and said indifferently.

Although she wanted to cut Provincial Governor Long into pieces, she couldn’t do it out here.

After entering the Long Clan Ancestral Land, she had to keep Provincial Governor Long and other experts inside, so that the army in the Illusion God Mountain Range could teleport to Long Province silently and launch a surprise attack.

Provincial Governor Long also didn’t plan to make a move outside. All his arrangements were inside the ancestral land.

He looked at the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master and the old woman behind Long Yurou and said apologetically, “Your Majesty, this is the Long Clan Ancestral Land. Only members of the Long Clan, or their family members, can enter. Outsiders are not allowed. Therefore…”

“How dare you! We are Your Majesty’s guards. How can we be far from Your Majesty?”

The Old Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion said in a deep voice.

Provincial Governor Long shook his head and said, “It’s not that I don’t allow it, but there is a divine might left by our ancestors within the ancestral land. Anyone who is not related to the Long Clan will be obliterated by the divine might. I’m also thinking about your safety.”

“Even if it means death, we must protect Your Majesty.” The old woman said coldly.

Everyone knew that Provincial Governor Long had ill intentions. How could they dare to be too far away from Long Yurou at this time?

Long Yurou frowned slightly, not knowing whether Provincial Governor Long’s words were true or false.

She only knew the location of the Long Clan Ancestral Land and had never entered it before. She wasn’t very clear about some of the taboos of the Long Clan Ancestral Land.

Long Yufei thought for a moment, then leaned close to Long Yurou’s ear and whispered, “Sister, five years ago, it seems that Father Emperor only brought Mother Empress to the ancestral land.”

Long Yurou nodded when she heard this, turned to the old woman and the others, and said, “You all wait outside.”

“But…”

The old woman and the others wanted to persuade her further, but Long Yurou interrupted them and transmitted her voice, “If you go in and are obliterated by the dragon’s might, my situation will be even more dangerous. Also, don’t forget our purpose. When the time comes, you must try to hold back as many experts as possible so that they can better control Long Province.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, we understand.”

The old woman and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master acknowledged the order.

“Let’s go.”

Long Yurou turned to Provincial Governor Long again and said indifferently.

“Your Majesty, please!”

Provincial Governor Long made way and stood respectfully aside. After Long Yurou and Long Yufei entered, he followed with his wife and son.

The Long Clan Ancestral Land was full of restrictions and countless traps. However, these restrictions and traps could sense auras and would not activate against members of the Long Clan.

The family members of the Long Clan would also carry the aura of the Long Clan and would not be attacked.

Under the leadership of Provincial Governor Long, the group made many turns, passing through one restriction after another, and finally arrived at the core of the ancestral land, the Long Clan Ancestral Hall.

The first step of the ancestral worship was to pay respects to the deceased ancestors of the Long Clan.

In front of the ancestral hall, three figures stood side by side. Their eyes turned cold when they saw Long Yurou.

“Long Yuyan, Long Yuxiang, Long Yutian.”

Long Yurou’s gaze also sharpened. She obviously didn’t expect these three guys to dare to appear in front of her.

Long Yufei shouted, “Provincial Governor Long, you actually let these rebels return to the ancestral land?”

Provincial Governor Long smiled and said, “No matter what, they are still members of the Long Clan. If they want to come back to worship their ancestors, I have no reason to refuse. After all, when the Long Clan’s ancestral worship was formed, there was no empire yet.”

◈◈◈

Long Yutian, who had lost an arm, said in a deep voice, “We are rebelling against the empire, not betraying the Long Clan. Why can’t we come to the Long Clan’s ancestral worship?”

Speaking of this, he looked at Long Yurou and said word by word, “Long Yurou, you must remember that the empire is the empire of the Long Clan, not that the Long Clan is the empire’s Long Clan.”

Long Yurou said coldly, “The empire was founded by the ancestors of my lineage. What does it have to do with the Long Clan? I came back to worship my ancestors because I am grateful for their contributions to the Nine Provinces.”

“Humph!”

Long Yutian snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Anyway, after today, there would be no more Empress in this world. He didn’t need to waste his breath on a dead person.

Long Yuxiang and Long Yuyan also narrowed their eyes slightly, sizing up Long Yurou. Their eyes looked as if they were looking at a dead person.

“Your Majesty, please!”

Provincial Governor Long said respectfully.

Long Yurou glanced at him, said nothing, and entered the Long Clan Ancestral Hall.

As the Empress of the Nine Provinces, she stood at the forefront.

Long Yufei stood close to Long Yurou, followed by Provincial Governor Long and the others.

In the past, there were also Long YuKuang and others, but they were slapped to death by Chu Feng in the Wasteland Province.

After paying respects to the ancestors, Provincial Governor Long pointed to the stone stele standing in the center of the ancestral hall and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, this is the Divine Bestowal Stele. Please use the Divine Bestowal Seal to activate the Divine Bestowal Stele to communicate with the gods.”

Long Yurou turned to look at him, frowned, and asked, “I remember Father Emperor said that the Divine Bestowal Stele doesn’t need to be activated with the Divine Bestowal Seal, right?”

Provincial Governor Long smiled and said, “Normally, it doesn’t. But since Your Majesty is here in person, it’s naturally better to use the Divine Bestowal Seal to activate it. The Divine Bestowal Seal itself is a set of supreme treasures with the Divine Bestowal Stele. Only by using the Divine Bestowal Seal to activate the Divine Bestowal Stele can our Long Clan receive more divine blessings.”

He wasn’t talking nonsense. It was the truth.

Long Yurou and Long Yufei frowned, not very clear about these rules.

The Long Clan’s ancestral worship only had the best effect the first time. If one was too young or too weak, they might not be able to withstand the energy of the divine bestowal and explode.

Therefore, the Long Clan stipulated that one must be at least twenty years old or have reached the Martial Emperor realm to participate in the Long Clan’s ancestral worship.

Five years ago, Long Yurou was still living in seclusion in Dàshí Village with Chu Feng and did not return to participate in the Long Clan’s ancestral worship.

Five years ago, Long Yufei had not yet reached the age of twenty and had not cultivated to the Martial Emperor realm, so she also did not participate.

Long Yurou looked at Provincial Governor Long, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Although she didn’t know Provincial Governor Long’s specific plan, this guy hadn’t made a move yet. He was probably waiting for her to take out the Imperial Seal.

Activating the Divine Bestowal Stele would probably consume a lot of energy. After all, this was to communicate with the ascended ancestors in the God Realm. The energy required was enormous.

She guessed that Provincial Governor Long would definitely make a move when she activated the Divine Bestowal Stele. She only had herself and Long Yufei on her side, while Provincial Governor Long had himself, his wife, Long Shaotian, Long Yuxiang, Long Yuyan, and Long Yutian, six Martial Emperors.

And this was only on the surface. She didn’t know how many ambushes were set up in secret.

However, she was confident that she could hold on for a few days with just these people.

It was mainly the three half-step Martial Gods that made her very wary.

She wasn’t sure whether Provincial Governor Long’s statement that outsiders were not allowed during the Long Clan’s ancestral worship was true or not.

Even if it was true, it was probably only aimed at cultivators from the Nine Provinces. As for the three half-step Martial Gods from the God Realm, who knew if they had any special means to avoid the divine might’s scan.
