Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"What's going on?"

The four people, who were focused on absorbing the True Qi and blood of a hundred thousand cultivators, were also startled by the noise of the Array's formation and turned their heads to look over.

Chu Chen, because he had used the Array Stone, caused the Concealing Charm to fail, and his small body lay on top of the city wall, peering out at the four people, looking quite comical.

"That brat, how is he here?"

The butler frowned slightly, fully aware of everything that happened during the Lanzhou competition, and he knew that this seemingly dim-witted and harmless child had incredibly strong power.

Although he usually did not fear him, now that he was absorbing the True Qi and blood of these cultivators, he had no time to fight with the brat.

"Brat?"

The other three people's eyes flickered with a cold light.

"It's that little rascal, he's come to save us."

The cultivators, whose True Qi and blood were being devoured, were immediately delighted to see Chu Chen.

Their hearts, once filled with despair, were rekindled with hope.

"Shadow, kill him."

The butler spoke softly, and then his shadow, which was reflected on the ground, eerily started to drift away from his body.

"Yes, Master."

A cold voice came from the shadow, and it then moved rapidly towards Chu Chen.

"The shadow is alive?"

Chu Chen was greatly surprised, staring intently at the shadow advancing toward him.

He had heard his father mention such divine skills before but had never seen them; they seemed quite magical.

He turned to look at his own little shadow and muttered, "I wonder if I could learn that too."

When he turned back, however, he found that the shadow had disappeared, and after looking around without finding any trace of it, he said in confusion, "Strange, where did it go? I can't sense it at all."

He took out a bunch of Talismans and affixed them to his body.

"Dad always said, when you can't see the enemy, you should put on several layers of defense."

While sticking the Talismans, he kept muttering softly to himself.

Bang!

Just after sticking two Talismans, he heard a muffled sound behind him.

Chu Chen turned around and saw a shadow drifting away, stopping ten yards away.

"How did it get over there? Why didn't I sense it at all?"

Chu Chen's chubby little face was filled with confusion.

"Silly brother! He can merge into your shadow."

Just then, Chu Xin's babyish voice sounded in his mind, clearly communicating with Chu Chen secretly through a Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Shadow?"

Chu Chen looked back at his own long-stretched shadow on the ground, and suddenly realized, "So it merged into my shadow, no wonder I didn't sense it."

Turning his head to look forward, he noticed that the shadow had disappeared once again.

"Still coming?"

Chu Chen muttered softly, as he flung a glimmering Array Stone behind him, which instantly transformed into a small Magic Array.

With a thunderous roar, the Array fell, covering his own shadow.

He slowly turned around, his shadow rotating with him; the shadow that had merged into it touched the edge of the Array and was forcibly stripped out.

Roar!

The shadow roared angrily, frantically assaulting the Magic Array Barrier, but no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break through and free itself.

"Damn brat."

Seeing the shadow trapped, the butler cursed softly.

"Annoying villain, watch me break your Array."

Chu Chen hovered in midair, his chubby little hands swiftly forming hand seals, as terrifying waves of Sword Energy condensed behind him.

The four housekeepers, seeing this, instantly tensed up and shouted in unison, "You damned brat, get lost!"

While everyone's attention was focused on Chu Chen, Chu Xin, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly made her move. Sword Energy, vast and overwhelming, tore through the air, instantly severing all the red chains.

A hundred thousand cultivators fell collectively, like dumplings being dropped, creating a spectacular scene.

"It's great, we've been rescued," they exclaimed.

After landing, everyone quickly got up. Despite their bodies feeling somewhat weak, their faces revealed the excitement of a narrow escape.

"You brat, you're courting death."

The four housekeepers paused, then with a thunderous roar, they simultaneously pointed, injecting four streams of red light into the Array above their heads, from which red chains fired out again.

"Here it comes again, run!"

The hundred thousand cultivators' expressions changed dramatically as they scattered in escape.

But with the evil Array still unbroken above them, and the layer of red light still present, they couldn't escape at all.

As the red chains crossed the void toward them, the faces of the hundred thousand cultivators showed despair once again.

"Array, activate!"

Chu Chen called out in his babyish voice; with a wave of his chubby little hand, a transparent Protective Shield suddenly soared around the spectators' area, sheltering the hundred thousand cultivators.

Bang, bang!

The red chains fired out, striking the Protective Shield and emitting a piercing noise.

"It's blocked, the little one's Array blocked those chains," the cultivators cheered thunderously upon seeing this.

"Damned brat, today you will become our nourishment," the housekeepers bellowed, waving their hands as countless blood-red palms appeared behind them. Their sinister aura shook the void, causing everyone's blood to tremble as if it might burst forth and fly into those bloody palms at any moment.

Buzz!

At the same time, a cold red Sword Intent and a dominating red Sword Intent rose up.

Roar!

A giant red bird took to the skies, its body ablaze with blood-colored flames.

These blood-colored flames were not hot, but rather carried a bone-chilling coldness.

"Annoying aura,"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"But very powerful," Chu Xin and Chu Chen simultaneously frowned. They disliked the aura of these blood-red palms.

But this aura was the strongest they had ever seen besides their father's.

Whoosh!

Just as the four housekeepers were about to launch an attack, a Seal flew through the air and hovered above them, a stream of pure Fate Power cascading down, forming a unique force field.

Under this force field, the four housekeepers felt greatly suppressed. Even the operation of the red Array above seemed a lot more obscure.

"State Governor Seal?"

The four housekeepers' expressions darkened slightly.

A stunning figure appeared out of thin air and stopped beside the State Governor Seal.

"A bunch of trash, can't even stall a small Martial Arts Sect for an hour," the housekeeper muttered angrily.

Usually, the four of them together would not fear Long Yufei.

Even though Long Yufei controlled the State Governor Seal, she was only a member of the Martial Arts Sect and wouldn't normally be a match for all four of them.

But now, they needed to maintain the Array and also watch out for those two brats. Being suppressed by the State Governor Seal, they were at a great disadvantage.

Long Yufei glanced at the red Array, then surveyed the housekeepers standing in the arena below her, her tone icy with anger, "Blood-devouring Coagulation Array? You dared to set up this Forbidden Array of Jiuzhou, you shall be executed along with your clans."
