Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"What is that? The runes used for making talismans?"

"It looks somewhat like it, but also not quite."

"This little tyke has too many secrets."

The nearby crowd was greatly surprised by this scene and began to speculate.

Although the Fire Demon Elder was originally quite pleased, he had to force a look of regret on his face, his mouth agape in astonishment.

A curse from a Martial Saint, one that even a Peak Martial Saint would struggle to lift, was broken by this brat in an instant?

What exactly were those runes flickering with golden light?

Could it be that their father had turned this brat's body into a talisman too?

A human talisman?

Unheard of!

The key point was, with the curse rendered ineffective, the Water Demon Elder had died in vain.

Thinking of this, the Fire Demon Elder was filled with rage, yet he dared not show any of it on his face. He cautiously asked, "State Governor, can you release us now?"

Long Yufei looked at the three elders from the Demon Saber Sect. Although she was desperate to kill all three, she ultimately restrained herself.

Killing the Water Demon Elder was justified as he had hoarded Devil Tempting Pills, and his death was a closed matter, leaving the Demon Saber Sect with no grounds for complaint.

But if she were to kill Fire Demon Elder and the others, the Sect Leader of the Demon Saber Sect would not let it go easily.

With the State Governor Seal, she feared no ordinary Martial Saints, but the Sect Leader of the Demon Saber Sect was a Peak Martial Saint, and even with the State Governor Seal in hand, she might not be able to match him.

"You, as a judge of the competition zone, attempted to kill a contestant for your personal desires, disrupting the order of the competition. According to the laws of Lanzhou, you are to be imprisoned for three years. Do you accept this punishment?"

Although she couldn't kill them, grievous punishment was unavoidable.

"This!"

The Fire Demon Elder's face changed slightly. The dungeon was fortified with special arrays, and even a Peak Martial Saint would have their cultivation sealed, reducing them to the level of an ordinary person.

No cultivator wished to enter the Empire's dungeon, but he had indeed violated the laws of Lanzhou, and no one dared to plead for him at this moment.

"I accept the punishment!"

The Fire Demon Elder sighed and said.

The Guardian Array was activated, and even in his prime, he would have struggled to escape in a short time.

Moreover, now that his True Qi was sealed and his body was restrained, he had no power to resist and could only agree to the punishment for the time being, planning to ponder a long-term strategy later.

"Very well!"

Long Yufei nodded and turned to Chu Chen, "Little guy, apply another Sealing Talisman on him."

The distance to the dungeon was significant, and she feared the Sealing Talisman on Fire Demon Elder might expire midway.

"Okay, Aunt Long."

Chu Chen's chubby little hand waved, and another Holy Level Sealing Talisman was affixed to Fire Demon Elder.

"Someone, take him away, lock him in the dungeon."

Long Yufei said coldly.

"Yes, State Governor."

A few female guards came forward and took away the Fire Demon Elder, whose True Qi was sealed.

"Release them."

Long Yufei looked at the other two elders from the Demon Saber Sect and said indifferently.

"Hmm!"

Chu Xin and her brother Chu Chen nodded their little heads, and with a wave of their hands, the talismans on those two elders turned to ash.

Feeling the surging True Qi within, the two elders instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

With True Qi in their bodies, they had the power to protect themselves and a sense of security.

"The competition continues,"

Long Yufei concluded, and in an instant, he appeared in his designated spot.

Two elders from the Demon Saber Sect glanced at the siblings, Chu Xin and Chu Chen, before turning and returning to their sect's camp.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen also left the arena, but they did not stay to watch the rest of the competition.

There were no more matches for Chu Chen that day; watching those tedious battles was less appealing than hunting Demon Beasts and roasting their meat.

Without the siblings, the venue regained its usual calm, yet the audience seemed somewhat disinterested.

Although this competition was even more exciting than previous ones, without those two innocent children present, something seemed to be missing, and the mood to watch the matches evaporated.

The day's competitiions ended swiftly, and the elders of the three top forces gathered once again.

"Those damned brats, causing the Demon Saber Sect to lose two elders and ruining our reputation. We cannot calm our spirits until they are dead,"

the remaining two elders of the Demon Saber Sect in Lanzhou City said furiously, their intent to kill palpable.

With the Elder of Water slain, and the Elder of Fire locked in the dungeon with an uncertain fate, coupled with the still-missing Yin Demon Blade Saint, the Demon Saber Sect had lost three Martial Saint level combatants in a flash, greatly diminishing their strength.

What was more crucial was that after today, the Demon Saber Sect's reputation had suffered a significant blow, plummeting its prestige in Lanzhou; how would they attract geniuses in the future?

"We underestimated those brats too much, who could have imagined he had a Bright Talisman that could counteract the Demonic Qi?"

"Not only the Bright Talisman, but the talismans on him seemed endless, ready to be used at any moment."

The elder from the Domineering Sword Sect and the Leopard Elder from the Myriad Beasts Sect sighed softly.

Hearing this, everyone involuntarily twitched and fell silent for a moment.

The amount of talismans those two children had probably exceeded that held by all the talisman forces in Lanzhou combined.

It was unclear where they had acquired them from.

Could it be that their father had crafted them?

"No matter how many talismans he has, he must die,"

the elder from the Demon Saber Sect said, still seething with anger.

A great Martial Saint, bound and interrogated in public by two three-year-old brats using a Truth Talisman—this was an indelible disgrace.

Whoosh!

Just then, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, floating like a specter, its face and body indiscernible.

But upon seeing this shadow, all the elders from the three top forces stood up, their expressions filled with a hint of reverence.

"The master said, 'Do not provoke those two children for now; the overall situation must take precedence. If your personal matters disrupt the master's and your sect leader's grand plan, do not blame the master for being ruthless.'"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The shadow's voice sounded, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, cold and heartless.

"We understand,"

everyone said in unison.

The shadow drifted away and vanished in an instant.

"He got away?"

"That's actually good news,"

the crowd exchanged glances, exhaling in relief. Despite the great effort and the loss of two Martial Saint level powers, it seemed there was some gain.

"Let those two brats live a few more days, then, once the grand plan is complete, I will hang those two brats and Long Yufei, flay their skin and extract their tendons, bury their bodies in Blood Corpse Mountain, and toss their souls into the Forbidden Soul Abyss, to ensure they never reincarnate."

One of the Demon Saber Sect elders said through gritted teeth, his limitless intent to kill and hatred startling the other elders.

The people of the Demon Saber Sect are all madmen.

The elders from the Domineering Sword Sect and Myriad Beasts Sect inwardly exclaimed.

They did not know that the slain Elder of Water was this Demon Saber Sect elder's own brother, who had had to hide his emotions at the time to save his life.

If Chu Xin were here, she would recognize this elder as the one she had scolded, saying he "doesn't look like a good person, why haven't you done something bad?"
