"Liu Feilong!"
Just as Long Yufei was about to enjoy her roasted at, she abruptly stood up and once again invoked the State Governor Seal, fully alert.
Liu Feilong now had a much more powerful aura than before.
With a wave of his hand, a Blood Hand tore through the air, directly knocking the State Governor Seal away, and the Fate Power that Long Yufei had summoned was instantly dispersed.
Spurt!
Long Yufei spewed out fresh blood, her montum instantly wilted, and the True Qi within her was nearly dissipated from the shock. Although she barely suppressed her injuries, she could no longer control the State Governor Seal.
"Aunt Long, are you alright?"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen rushed over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
Long Yufei waved her hand, struggling to stand up, then looked up into the void incredulously and asked, "Did you break through?"
With a loud laugh, Liu Feilong spoke coldly, "Long Yufei, I am now a Martial Emperor. Do you think your re Martial Arts Sect can do anything to with this State Governor Seal?"
"Impossible, the Heavenly Tribulation descends when a Martial Saint breaks through to Martial Emperor. Without Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, how could you beco an Emperor?" Long Yufei said in a deep voice.
To beco a Saint one must cross the Small Heavenly Tribulation, to beco an Emperor, one must cross the Heavenly Tribulation, and to beco a God, one must cross the Divine Tribulation. This was common knowledge throughout the Jiuzhou Continent.
It was impossible to break through to Martial Emperor without Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Ignorant and foolish," Liu Feilong said coldly.
"Could it be because of the Bloodthirsty Soul Capturing Array?" Long Yufei suddenly thought of a possibility, her tone tinged with realization yet filled with disbelief.
"The Bloodthirsty Soul Capturing Array can not only devour True Qi, blood, and souls for one's own use but also deceive the heavens and shield against the divine predestination, naturally preventing the Heavenly Tribulation from descending." Liu Feilong said indifferently.
Long Yufei narrowed her beautiful eyes and said solemnly, "The Heavenly Tribulation is a calamity as well as an opportunity. Without the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, I'm afraid you will be the weakest Martial Emperor on the continent."
"But I'm still an Emperor, not sothing you can compare with," Liu Feilong retorted with a cold snort, not bothering to refute further.
Indeed, without the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, his strength was much weaker than that of a regular Martial Emperor.
But what of it? He was ultimately a Martial Emperor and could easily obliterate any Peak Martial Saint.
From now on, he would beco Lanzhou's number one, in command of the entire Lanzhou.
"Aunt Long, this is a Healing Elixir for you."
After handing a bottle of Healing Elixir to Long Yufei, Chu Chen took another bite of roasted at and puzzledly whispered to Chu Xin, "Sister, this guy's already a Martial Emperor? But he doesn't seem as strong as Dad."
"It's not just seeming, he is indeed not as strong as Dad," Chu Xin nodded with certainty, her words muffled as she chewed on the roasted at.
After taking a Healing Pill, Long Yufei glanced at the two little ones in amazent, secretly admiring that their father was indeed a Martial Emperor.
It was a pity that their father was not here; otherwise, he might have been able to eliminate this false Martial Emperor.
She looked up again at Liu Feilong, who was suspended in the air, and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid of being besieged by the Martial Emperor of the Imperial Family?"
"The Imperial Family?"
Liu Feilong scoffed twice and said, "In the past, with a Martial God presiding over the Empire, Jiuzhou bowed its head. Now that the old Martial God can't suppress his own Realm and ascension is imminent, without the Martial God, would Jiuzhou willingly submit to a woman? The Imperial Family is now preoccupied with its own problems; how could they possibly send a Martial Emperor to such a backwater place as Lanzhou? Moreover, knowing that a Martial Emperor has appeared in Lanzhou, to rope in to help the Imperial Family stabilize the realm, the Empress will have to send soone to win over. As long as I support the Imperial Family, would they send soone to kill ?"
He left unsaid that his ambitions extended far beyond that.
Once he devoured all of Lanzhou's people, his strength would undoubtedly reach the Peak Martial Emperor level.
Then, traveling to other states and secretly devouring so people, reaching the Divine Realm might not be impossible.
Even if it was a false god without Crossing the Divine Tribulation, he would not be comparable to a Martial Emperor.
By then, the entire Jiuzhou would prostrate at his feet.
Of course, he naturally could not say these words so foolishly, lest they leak out and the royal family would spare no effort to send a Martial Emperor to kill him.
Long Yufei remained silent. As an Imperial Princess, she naturally knew what kind of crisis the Empire was facing.
At this ti, it wasn't possible to send a Martial Emperor to Lanzhou, otherwise they wouldn't have let her take up the position of State Governor there.
Furthermore, it was impossible at this critical mont to create another enemy of Martial Emperor Level.
It was quite likely, as Liu Feilong had said, that the royal family would try to win him over instead of holding him accountable for becoming an Emperor by devouring cultivators through a Forbidden Array.
Even if her sister wanted to hold him accountable, the Imperial Protectorate would not agree.
The news of the old Martial God's impending ascension was originally a royal family secret, but with the sudden demise of the Emperor and the ensuing chaos in the Imperial Palace, these state secrets were leaked during the turmoil, causing unrest across Jiuzhou.
Most crucially, the old Martial God had left to find a successor to protect the Empire and had not yet returned.
The other States kept sending people to probe, and the news of the old Martial God's absence was becoming increasingly difficult to conceal.
Once the news that the old Martial God was not in the Imperial Palace was confird, that would mark the beginning of Jiuzhou's calamity.
"Aunt Long, the grilled at is getting cold,"
Just as Long Yufei and Liu Feilong were in a tense standoff, Chu Chen's milky voice chid in.
Eat?
Long Yufei couldn't help but roll her eyes. Although this Liu Feilong couldn't match a real Martial Emperor, he certainly was not soone a Martial Arts Sect could compare with; these two youngsters were still oblivious to the severity of the situation.
"Aunt Long, co eat, it won't taste good once it's cold."
Chu Xin also spoke up, her voice full of innocence and devoid of any fear.
They are still children after all.
Long Yufei sighed inwardly while her mind raced, thinking about how she could ensure the children's survival.
"Thinking about eating at a ti like this, disobedient children will always be disobedient, die for ,"
Liu Feilong snorted coldly, and a Blood Hand reached out through the air.
"Be careful!"
Long Yufei cried out sharply, trying to control the State Governor Seal to defend, but found her body restrained, unable to move at all.
Moreover, an evil power was continuously eroding her body and True Qi.
Even her thoughts, once they left her body, were invaded by Evil Power, causing unbearable pain.
The Rule Power of evil was sothing only a Martial Emperor could control; it was simply too difficult to resist.
"So annoying, can't we wait until we're done eating grilled at before fighting?"
Chu Xin's little eyebrows furrowed tightly, her cheeks puffed up in anger.
Eating grilled at was her second greatest joy, and she hated being interrupted the most.
"Daddy, help beat him up,"
Chu Xin cried out in her childlike voice, and then with a wave of her tiny white hand, she made hand signs and a Token suddenly appeared, suspended in mid-air.
"It doesn't matter who cos today, you're all dead,"
Liu Feilong sneered, without a Martial Emperor in Lanzhou, he was invincible; no one's arrival would make a difference.
Whir!
The next mont, a figure appeared out of thin air.
He was a male in his twenties, handso and with an extraordinary bearing.
With a casual wave of his hand, he broke through the Evil Power's restraint on the void and destroyed the terrifying Blood Hand.
