Chapter 425: Brats Hiding in the Ancestral Land
“Ai Chirou, are you sure this Invisibility Talisman really works?”
Not far from the entrance to the Long Clan Ancestral Land, Wang Lanxi looked at the group of Martial Emperors at the entrance, her gaze finally landing on the Blood Demon Envoy. With some worry, she said, “That fellow is a Half-step Martial God.”
“Don’t worry, Grandmother Wang. This is an Emperor-Level Invisibility Talisman refined by Dad. As long as they aren’t Martial Gods, and as long as we don’t use any energy, they won’t be able to detect us,” Chu Chen said proudly.
Chu Xin also nodded, whispering, “Although that guy is a Half-step Martial God, he’s still not a true Martial God. He definitely won’t discover us.”
“Alright, you two wait for me outside. Don’t go in.”
Wang Lanxi nodded, instructing them.
“Why?”
Chu Xin asked, puzzled.
Wang Lanxi explained, “Only those with Long Clan bloodline, or family members of the Long Clan bloodline, can enter the Long Clan Ancestral Land. Anyone else who enters will be obliterated by the divine might of the Long Clan Ancestors.”
“Grandmother Wang, what does ‘family member’ mean?” Chu Chen asked curiously.
Wang Lanxi explained, “It means relatives, like the husband or wife of someone with the Long Clan bloodline.”
“Relatives?”
Chu Xin tilted her little head, thought for a moment, and asked, “Grandmother Wang, we are Auntie Long’s adopted daughters and son, and we are also the Most Beloved Beast Milk Princess and the Most Beloved Beast Milk Young Master personally appointed by Empress Your Majesty. Auntie Long said that our titles have been recognized by the Nine Provinces Dragon Veins. So, we are also considered relatives of the Long Clan bloodline, right?”
“Is that so?”
Wang Lanxi was a little surprised. She didn’t expect these two little ones to have such a close relationship with her daughter.
Since it was recognized by the Nine Provinces Dragon Veins, it must have been stamped with the Divine Bestowal Seal, which would naturally carry its aura.
The Divine Bestowal Seal and the Divine Bestowal Stele are a set of supreme treasures. With the aura of the Divine Bestowal Seal, they naturally wouldn’t be obliterated by the Ancestors’ divine might.
“Do you have your Imperial Decrees with you? Let me see them.”
However, to be safe, she still needed to confirm.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen quickly took out their respective Imperial Decrees and handed them to Wang Lanxi.
“Indeed, they have been stamped with the Divine Bestowal Seal.”
Wang Lanxi nodded secretly.
Not all Imperial Decrees issued by the Nine Provinces Empress are stamped with the Divine Bestowal Seal, also known as the Imperial Seal.
Besides the Divine Bestowal Seal, there’s also the ordinary Emperor’s Seal. Usually, the Emperor’s Seal is used, and the Divine Bestowal Seal is rarely used.
“Let’s go together then.”
Wang Lanxi returned the two Imperial Decrees to Chu Xin and Chu Chen, and instructed, “You two must hold these Imperial Decrees in your hands at all times. Only then will you not be obliterated by the divine might of the Long Clan Ancestors. However, even though you are Xiao Fei’s adopted daughters and son, you still don’t have the Long Clan bloodline, so you cannot receive the Divine Blessing from the Long Clan Ancestors. I can’t either. We are just going in to protect Xiao Rou and Xiao Fei.”
“Okay.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded in unison. They weren’t interested in the Divine Blessing; they were just thinking about whether they would have a chance to dig away that Divine Bestowal Stele.
Then, the three cautiously walked towards the entrance.
They had arrived earlier than the Blood Demon Envoy and the others, but in order not to attract the attention of the Long Province guards, they planned to use the Emperor-Level Invisibility Talismans to sneak in.
Although these Invisibility Talismans are useful, they have a drawback: they cannot be used with any energy, otherwise, the effect of the Invisibility Talisman will be broken.
Therefore, they could only choose to walk there step by step.
They had only walked halfway when the Blood Demon Envoy and the others arrived.
Wang Lanxi was worried that the Blood Demon Envoy, a Half-step Martial God, would see through the Invisibility Talismans, hence her question.
If they really could be seen through by a Half-step Martial God, it would be better to abandon the Invisibility Talismans and make other plans early on. If they were discovered in front of a Half-step Martial God and were suddenly attacked, they probably wouldn’t even have time to react.
“Grandmother Wang, slow down, and be very quiet. Don’t let them hear us,” Chu Xin reminded.
“Okay!”
Wang Lanxi slowed down again, tiptoeing towards the entrance of the Ancestral Land.
Fortunately, they were lucky. They didn’t make any noise along the way, and quietly passed in front of the Blood Demon Envoy, the old woman, and the others, entering the Ancestral Land.
◈◈◈
As soon as they entered the ancestral grounds, Wang Lanxi nervously turned her head to look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen.
“Grandmother Wang, what’s wrong?”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen thought there was something behind them, but after looking back and finding nothing unusual, their round eyes were filled with confusion.
“It’s nothing, let’s go.”
Seeing the two little ones still full of energy, Wang Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief and instructed them in a serious tone, “Stay close to me. There are many restrictions and traps in the ancestral grounds, don’t wander off.”
“Okay, Grandmother Wang.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen, one hand holding the Imperial Decree and the other holding a baby bottle, sucked on their ice-chilled beast milk and followed closely behind Wang Lanxi.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of the restrictions and traps, but mainly that they were afraid of getting lost if they fell behind.
These ancestral grounds were like a labyrinth. After walking for a while, they felt a bit disoriented. If there was no one to lead the way, they wouldn’t be able to get out.
After walking for about half an hour, Wang Lanxi finally stopped not far from the ancestral hall.
“Wow! So many people!”
Chu Chen’s eyes widened as he looked at the crowd inside the ancestral hall and said excitedly, “Those big bad villains are there too. Later, we must spank their butts hard and make them bloom!”
“Smack!”
Chu Xin slapped the back of his head, glanced sideways at the three directions outside the ancestral hall, and whispered, “Idiot, be quiet. The three Half-step Martial Gods are also there. Don’t let them hear you.”
“Oh!”
Chu Chen rubbed the back of his head with the hand holding the Imperial Decree and followed Chu Xin’s gaze. Sure enough, he sensed three powerful auras.
“Three Half-step Martial Gods? Where?”
Wang Lanxi looked around but found nothing unusual. She couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
Chu Xin stretched out her small, white hand and pointed in three directions outside the ancestral hall, whispering, “One there, one here, and another one over there.”
Wang Lanxi stared at the three directions but still didn’t find anything unusual.
Chu Chen tilted his little head and asked in confusion, “Grandmother Wang, can’t you sense them?”
“Uh!”
Looking at the innocent and confused looks in the two little ones’ eyes, Wang Lanxi felt greatly looked down upon. She coughed twice and whispered, “I sensed them. How could I not sense them?”
“Oh!”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded in unison, without any doubt.
After all, they could sense them. Grandmother Wang was a Peak Martial Emperor, so she should be able to sense them too.
Wang Lanxi shifted her gaze away from the two little ones with a guilty conscience, then couldn’t help but take another careful look at the three directions. Still sensing nothing unusual, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “Am I getting old, or are these two little ones too heaven-defying?”
At this moment, Long Yusheng, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and said, “Your Majesty, the time is almost up. It’s time to activate the Divine Bestowal Stele.”
Long Yutian and the others also opened their eyes and looked at Long Yurou.
Long Yurou calmly got up and took out the Divine Bestowal Seal again, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
“Big Sister, why don’t you give them the Divine Bestowal Seal and let them activate the Divine Bestowal Stele?” Long Yufei suggested.
Long Yurou secretly shook her head. “Judging from their reactions, the one holding the Divine Bestowal Seal to activate the Divine Bestowal Stele will definitely receive unimaginable benefits. How can we let them have it? However, during the activation of the Divine Bestowal Stele, I’ll have to rely on you.”
“Don’t worry, Big Sister, I will definitely protect you.” Long Yufei said firmly.
Long Yurou took a deep breath, turned around, and walked to the Divine Bestowal Stele. Rule power surged into the Divine Bestowal Seal, and a brilliant light bloomed from it.
