Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 141 Sister, the Five Thunder Tree ran away on long legs

This ancient magic array was an accidental discovery in the secret realm, truly a demon array, requiring a vast amount of energy to activate.

If the treasures used for the array were insufficient, it would devour the cultivator's own cultivation and spiritual power.

Before Chu Xin and Chu Chen arrived, Lei Wanjun had never thought about deploying this demon array. After all, he was unaware if the treasures he possessed were adequate, and furthermore, he was not willing to use those treasures to activate the demon array.

The arrival of those two brats, along with their theft of the Thunder Fruit, pushed the Heavenly Prides to his side, offering him the opportunity to use the Heavenly Prides to set up the array.

As expected, those so-called Heavenly Prides, in their rush to obtain the Thunder Fruit, hardly took any precaution against him.

However, this demon array had a significant flaw; it was easily susceptible to being destroyed by those inside the array before activation.

Thus, having witnessed the formidable power of that brat, Lei Wanjun hesitated whether to deploy the array.

If that brat managed to destroy the demon array, rendering it unable to activate, not only would he be unable to snatch the Thunder Fruit from the brat, but he would also face the joint attack of the Heavenly Prides.

That aside, his greater worry was that once these Heavenly Prides left the secret realm, they would inform their powerful backers of his actions, and once these powers joined forces to suppress the Thunder Sect, it could greatly affect the sect.

Especially now, with Jiuzhou in turmoil and the situation in chaos, it would be troublesome.

However, upon seeing the Thunder Beasts lose their minds, attacking the brat furiously, he eventually made up his mind.

Although the brat was powerful, escaping the multitude of Thunder Beasts swarming the mountain would still take a significant amount of time.

This time was enough for the demon array to devour the Heavenly Prides and activate.

As for that brat who was digging up the tree, he wasn't concerned.

From his observations over time, he found that the brat seemed to have absolute confidence in the one with the phoenix mask, believing she could overcome all enemies.

No matter what kind of enemies she faced, or how many, there seemed to be no plan to lend a hand, just focused on digging up the tree.

Probably by now, the brat with the dragon mask isn't even aware that he has deployed the demon array.

"This array seems to be pretty formidable."

Chu Xin looked at the magic array barrier enveloping the entire Five Thunder Mountain. Her round eyes blinked, and with a gesture of her sword technique, the Divine Rune Giant Sword slew a swath of Thunder Beasts before attempting to strike at the magic array barrier.

However, before she could act, a dense swarm of Thunder Beasts came again, blocking all her escape routes and endless lightning struck down.

Chu Xin had no choice but to continue attacking the Thunder Beasts.

From beginning to end she did not ask Chu Chen for help, for in her eyes, destroying the array was far less important than digging up the tree.

Seeing this, Lei Wanjun, outside the demon array, revealed a victorious smile on his face.

Everything was as he expected; just a little longer, and the demon array would absorb enough energy to activate.

As for the wails and curses of the Heavenly Prides, he ignored them all, his eyes fixated on the brat, waiting for the demon array to activate.

"Sister, the big tree became sentient, the big tree is running away, catch it!"

Just then, Chu Chen's childish voice rang out, filled with surprise and urgency.

After slaying a group of Thunder Beasts, Chu Xin turned back to see that the Five Thunder Tree at the top of Five Thunder Mountain was already floating in mid-air somehow.

Its dense roots were like tangible lightning, undulating, radiating endless arcs of five-colored electricity.

"The tree became sentient?"

Chu Xin's face filled with astonishment as it was her first time seeing a tree that could run away on its own.

"Big tree, don't run."

Chu Chen leaped into the air, charging straight towards the Five Thunder Tree.

The tree's roots tore through the air in an attempt to stop him but were severed by the Sword Energy released by Chu Chen.

Seeing it couldn't stop Chu Chen, the Five Thunder Tree flickered with Five-colored Lightning, transforming into a beam of light that broke through the skies in an instant.

With a thunderous boom, the array patterns of the demon array flickered, sending the Five Thunder Tree crashing back.

Spurt!

All the Heavenly Prides who set up the array suffered backlash and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Damn it!"

Lei Wanjun's face dramatically changed, he had never anticipated such a turn of events.

He had calculated everything, but he had failed to predict that the Five Thunder Tree could actually flee.

The elders had never mentioned it, nor had the ancient texts ever recorded such a thing.

However, thinking about it, it wasn't strange. There had never been a case of these mischievous children digging up a tree before, so naturally, the Five Thunder Tree would have had no need to escape.

"Haha! Told you not to run, but you wouldn't listen."

Chu Chen burst into laughter and arrived in an instant.

Crackle!

Just then, the Five Thunder Tree began to violently shake, with the Five-colored Lightning that filled Five Thunder Mountain swarming toward it, all of it entering into the tree.

The next moment, the Five Thunder Tree soared into the air once more, evading Chu Chen while simultaneously blasting off into the distance again.

Boom!

The Five Thunder Tree collided with the Demon Array Barrier, producing a muffled sound. All the Heavenly Prides spat out more fresh blood, suffering another backlash. But the demon array's devouring halted briefly, causing their eyes to suddenly light up with hope.

Only then did they understand that if the Demon Array was broken, they could survive.

At this moment, all of them were hoping that the two mischievous children and the Five Thunder Tree would shatter the Demon Array and save them from the abyss of death.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the Magic Array Barrier, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Just as the Heavenly Prides were getting excited, the Five Thunder Tree eventually couldn't hold on and was blasted away by the Magic Array Barrier.

Lei Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the Demon Array wasn't destroyed, it could heal the cracks by devouring the cultivation and spiritual power of all the Heavenly Prides.

"Got you."

Following closely, Chu Chen tossed out a bunch of Talismans and smashed them onto the flying-back Five Thunder Tree.

With a flash, all the Talismans shattered, turning into golden ropes that entangled the Five Thunder Tree, sealed its energy within, rendering it immobile, and it crash-landed with a thunderous fall.

Chu Chen's chubby little hand grasped, catching the roots of the Five Thunder Tree, lifted it upside down, and floated mid-air with it.

He looked up at the Magic Array Barrier in the sky, chock-full of cracks, and uttered in surprise, "Huh? When did a magic array appear here?"

He rose into the sky, came in front of the Magic Array Barrier, and reached out with his chubby hand to poke the barrier.

The already-near-shattering Magic Array Barrier instantly crumbled like bubbles.

Pfft!

The Heavenly Prides hit the ground, spitting blood, but they were not angry but rather overjoyed. The terrifying devouring power had vanished, the Demon Array was broken, and they were saved.

"Damn mischievous children! Damn Five Thunder Tree!"

Lei Wanjun's face was extremely gloomy, and suddenly, when he saw the mischievous child looking toward him, his face rapidly changed, and he turned to run.

"Stop right there!"

Chu Chen shouted in his babyish voice, and forcefully threw the Five Thunder Tree in his hands.

The massive Five Thunder Tree tore through the void, appearing instantly behind Lei Wanjun.

Endless Five-colored Lightning crackled, covering all directions.

Lei Wanjun had no place to escape and could only stop to defend.

By the time he had managed to fend off the Five Thunder Tree, Chu Chen had already appeared, grasping the Five Thunder Tree as a weapon, and smashed it down hard on Lei Wanjun.

With a loud thud, Lei Wanjun fell like a meteor, the ground instantly collapsing, forming a seemingly bottomless pit with Five-colored Lightning still lingering around it.
