Chapter 447 Ambush on the Way? Sorry, you're just delivering food to our doorstep!

Six months later.
The big black pot has been repaired.
Outside the imperial family.
The whole clan celebrated their farewell.
The firecrackers, laid out in advance, stretched for hundreds of miles, just waiting for Yi Cheng to leave so they could set them off immediately.
"Hello everyone, thank you for bringing the geese."
Outside the imperial palace, Yi Cheng, with her large belly, waved her little hand reluctantly. She carried a large black pot on her back and had several storage rings hanging around her neck.
These are all gifts from hospitable people of various ethnic groups over the past two years.
Xiao Xuan stared at the storage ring around Yi Cheng's neck and said, "Junior Sister, this ring is too eye-catching dangling around your neck. Why don't I put it away for you for now?"
"No need for the four no's. Sister Xiaoxuan said to let the goose keep it itself and not give it to you, because you'll lie to our little goose."
Xiao Xuan:......? ? ?
What a wonderful Tianyan Xuanxuan! All the friendship we've built over the past year of exchanging ideas and discussing philosophy has been wasted.
"Junior Sister, you're so clever, how could I possibly deceive you!" Xiao Xuan immediately said in a sorrowful voice, "Besides, who am I? I'm your dearest junior brother! Who is she? She's just an outsider! We're so close, how could you believe someone else's words and hurt your junior brother's feelings?"
Xiao Xuan wiped away his tears.
Yi Cheng frowned and said unhappily, "Si Wu, you are not allowed to say that about Sister Xiao Xuan. She prepares lots and lots of delicious food for me every day, and praises me for being cute. She says that I am smart and powerful and must be the most awesome baby in the world."
She's a really good person, just like Master and Senior Sister, so you...you can't say anything about her.
? ? ? ?
Well, I inexplicably feel that my status in my junior sister's heart has dropped another level.
"well..... "
Xiao Xuan sighed and lowered his head sadly.
"May you rest in peace, little Cheng!"
"Little Orange, come play with your big sister again next time!"
"Brother Orange, you'll always be my idol, Tianyan Fatty! One day, my belly will grow as awesome as yours! Aww~~ Daddy, Daddy, why did you kick my butt? If you want to kick someone, kick their belly!!"
"Waaaaah, Yi Cheng, we'll miss you so much!"
“............”
Outside the Tianyan Imperial Clan, everyone looked grief-stricken, their eyes filled with tears, yet they couldn't help but smile as they watched Yi Cheng's departing figure.
"Chief, shall we set off firecrackers now?" someone asked in a low voice.
"No rush, no rush, let's be patient and wait until they're a bit further away."
"Chieftain, what about now?"
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
"Young friend Yi Cheng, welcome to visit our tribe again next time! Hahaha..."
Once Yi Cheng and his companions had completely disappeared from sight, an elder of the Imperial Clan could no longer contain his excitement and roared with joy.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
All eyes turned to them.
Seeing this, the Sixth Elder puffed out his chest and said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? They've already left. Aren't I allowed to show some hospitality to my clan?"
"Huh! Really! The goose is back, goose, goose, goose..."
Before anyone could say anything more, a big-bellied man came running back in a flurry, kicking up a cloud of dust in his wake.
Everyone: ? ? ? ? ? ?
"Damn it, you old bastard, it's all your fault for messing with him."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Instantly, the crowd became agitated. From the clan leader to the elders, everyone surrounded the old man and scurried around him. Some of the more capable stewards and younger members of the clan couldn't resist taking advantage of the chaos and kicked him a few times.
"Phew~"
Half an hour later, the Tianyan Clan Chief composed himself and straightened his messy clothes.
Turn around, glance back, and smile.
"Haha, little friend Yicheng, we meant next time. Come visit us again when you come to the Central Plains. You've been here long enough this time. Of course, we're not worried about your appetite, we just think your family must miss you after being away for so long, so you should go home soon so they don't worry."
"It's alright, you're all so kind to the goose, it can stay with you for a few more years."
"A few... years???"
The Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram was stunned, waving its hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, next time, I said next time, and I mean next time. We should keep our promises."
"Well... okay then."
Yi Cheng sighed, "The goose's gone, goodbye!"
Yi Cheng waved goodbye and left.
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Everyone smiled and waved in response.
They had barely breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the chubby little girl, who had only run a few steps, suddenly turn around, raise her little paws, and laugh loudly, "Haha, we meet again, geese!"
Everyone: ? ? ? ? ?
"Hey hey hey, I was just kidding with you guys. I really have to go home. I miss Black Rabbit and Little Fatty. They'll be unhappy if they know I've been eating alone for so long."
Yi Cheng smiled broadly, her lips pursed.
"..." Everyone applauded. "Good, good, good, that was a great joke! Young friend, you may set off now."
"Okay! Goodbye Sister Xuan! Goodbye Boss! You guys are all such great people!"
Yi Cheng waved her little hand and skipped away.
Everyone watched the other person walk away, and remained silent for a long time without anyone speaking, except for Lao Liu, who was jumping around and barking like a dog.
"Speak! Besides the clan leader, the eldest, second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers, who else plotted against me? This is insubordination! You'll be punished according to clan rules when we get back! Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! ... Ahhh! Step forward! Step forward! Don't hit someone in the face, don't kick their ass, don't stab them in the backside! These are basic human decency, don't you understand? ... I'm furious! I'm absolutely furious! Speak up! All of you, speak up!"
......
"Clan leader, has young friend Yi Cheng left?"
"They're gone."
"How far have you gone?"
"Two kilometers."
"Oh? It's so close! It's practically right at our doorstep. Let's wait a little longer."
"Speak up, all of you! Who did this? Seventh Brother, was it you? Eighth Brother, it must be you, you little bastard, right? I knew it, I knew it..."
......
"Clan leader, how far has young friend Yi Cheng gone?"
"Twenty li."
...
"And now?"
"Eight thousand li."
"Set off firecrackers, quick, set off firecrackers! Hahaha, little Cheng, my hero, we can't bear to part with you! Waaaaah~~, you damn idiot in the distance, hurry up and set off firecrackers... Waaaaah~~~, we can't bear to part with you..."
......
In the far distance, a spaceship traverses a sea of clouds.
Yi Cheng and Xiao Xuan stood on the deck, facing the biting wind.
"Junior sister, did you enjoy this trip?"
"It's fun."
Are you happy?
"happy. "
"Was the fight enjoyable?"
"Even the geese don't know if they're happy or not."
"...They've had a blast."
Xiao Xuan silently added in his mind.
I'm talking about you.
"Oh, that's great! This food is so delicious! Aww!"
"......??? Junior Sister, when you go back this time, please don't tell Master that I brought you out to fight, understand?"
Why?
Yi Cheng stared at her little eyes with curiosity.
Xiao Xuan patiently explained, "Because if Master knew you'd come all this way to fight, he wouldn't let you come out to play next time. If Master doesn't let you come out to play, then you won't be able to visit the big shots' houses and eat all the delicious food you want next time, right?"
"Oh, right."
Yi Cheng patted her little belly confidently and assured him, "Don't worry, Si Wu Nen, the goose won't tell Master."
"That's good." Xiao Xuan nodded and said, "Then how about I take you out to play again next time?"
"Great! Four-nothing tender is really good!"
"Junior Sister, can I keep the rings around your neck for you?"
"not good. "
“........”
The flying boat is a magical artifact that uses spirit stones as its energy source. As long as there is enough energy, each leap can cover tens of thousands of miles.
One can traverse several states in a single day.
Seven days later.
As the airship passed through a vast black ocean, it was imprisoned by a domain.
"Young Xuan, enemy attack!"
On the flying boat, two powerful beings at the Integration Realm stepped out, their domains spreading out to protect the flying boat.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuan suddenly looked up.
Buzz...
At this moment, the void trembled, and dozens of figures appeared one after another.
These people all possessed powerful auras; they were all Nascent Soul Realm experts, and some even wielded semi-divine weapons.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Du and the other two suddenly became serious.
With their quick wits, they immediately guessed the purpose of these people's visit—they were probably after Yi Cheng.
Two years ago, in the battle between immortals and mortals, Yi Cheng defeated the descendant of an immortal lord, displaying an invincible demeanor. Such potential probably reminded them of the empress from ten thousand years ago. In order to prevent the emergence of such an "uncontrollable" peerless figure again, they harbored murderous intentions and meticulously planned this assassination.
Some participated in the assassination simply because their sect's successor had been killed by Yi Cheng, and they would be punished upon returning.
Previously, Yi Cheng and his group had been staying in the Central Divine Continent, so these people dared not make any rash moves. Only now that they have left the territory of the Central Divine Continent have they all shown themselves.
"Are there any cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm?"
Xiao Xuan asked Xuan Du, who was standing to the side.
Xuan Du shook his head. "I don't know. If a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert is hiding nearby, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to detect them."
After all, the gap between the Tribulation Transcending Realm and the Integration Realm is like an insurmountable chasm.
“But…” Xuandu paused, then said, “Two years ago, two Transcending Tribulation Realm experts descended to the mortal realm. I’ve heard that in the past two years, many more powerful individuals have come down to the mortal realm one after another.”
If that's the case...
“That’s not necessarily true.” Xiao Xuan interrupted Xuan Du’s topic, “Not all forces are as shameless as these people. The more powerful a lineage is, the less it cares about a genius who hasn’t even grown up yet, especially a prodigy born in what they consider a barren land in the lower realm.”
"The Empress is powerful, but ultimately she cannot withstand the power of those immortal lineages."
"I hope so." Xuan Du's eyes narrowed slightly, then he noticed a fatal problem. "But even if the opponent doesn't have a Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator involved, we still can't win, can we?"
"...Ahem, the way you're saying that, you're looking down on my brother Da Bao, aren't you?"
Xiao Xuan coughed twice.
Xuan Du looked at the black and white demon beast sitting on the deck eating bamboo. Although he hadn't seen it make a move, he still felt that it was unreliable.
"Brother Da Bao, someone's stealing your bamboo shoots!"
Xiao Xuan shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hmph hmph hmph!" Don't you dare take the baby's bamboo shoots!
Da Bao immediately jumped up, his big butt swaying, and shouted at Yi Cheng, who was fast asleep in the cabin:
"Hmph hmph hmph." Yi Cheng, Yi Cheng, someone's trying to steal the baby's bamboo shoots!
"Ah-huh~, ah-huh~"
Yi Cheng was fast asleep in the bunk bed when she suddenly heard Da Bao calling her. She immediately opened her eyes wide and ran out aggressively.
"Da Bao, whoever steals the tender bamboo shoots, the goose will help you beat them up!"
"Hmph, hmph." Little Xuanzi said it was them!
Da Bao stretched out his chubby little finger and pointed at the dozens of huge figures shrouded in shadow.
"Go for it!"
"Roar~"
Two chubby Dharma bodies burst through the heavens and earth, smashing huge holes in the sky with fists the size of mountains.
"Kill this chubby little girl and capture this Chaos Beast."
On the opposing side, someone spoke coldly, raising his hand to summon a semi-divine weapon, which caused Cheng to stagger several times before falling into the ocean with a thud.
Black waves surged and splashed thousands of feet high.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
When Da Bao saw his good brother being defeated, his eyes immediately turned blood red, and his ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma body continued to grow larger. In an instant, the aura on his body became uncontrollable.
With a bang, a powerful figure in the late stage of the Integration Realm exploded.
"Gurgle!"
Xiao Xuan and Xuan Du swallowed hard at the same time.
Is this chubby little thing that looks cute and harmless really that strong?!?!?!?!?!
Even Xiao Xuan was taken aback. He knew that Da Bao was a Chaos Beast. Although it was only at the early stage of the Integration Realm, its physical body was powerful. However, he had not expected that it could smash a Integration Realm expert with a single punch, let alone a powerful expert at the late stage of the Integration Realm.
"Hmph hmph hmph." You're not allowed to hit Yi Cheng! Roar roar roar!
Da Bao roared repeatedly, and the domain that had previously surrounded them was directly burst apart by Da Bao's physical body. His 15,000-foot-tall Dharma body really made his opponents feel a bit emo.
"I'll go and kill that chubby little girl. You all form a battle formation. If we can't capture this Chaos Beast, then kill it. Its flesh and blood are treasures worth studying."
A cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm spoke coldly, his semi-immortal weapon emitting a shimmering green light as it pressed down on Yi Cheng.
Xuan Du made his move, wielding a semi-immortal weapon in return, and launched a counterattack.
However, his cultivation level was ultimately inferior to his opponent's, and he was defeated after only two strikes.
Boom!
In the vast black ocean, Yi Cheng stood up, feeling a little dizzy.
The Dharma Body, spanning over 9,500 feet, once again burst the heavens and earth, its small face fiercely slapping towards the charging Nascent Soul Realm expert.
Bang!
The sky was shattered by the explosion of light. Even though the opponent was wielding a semi-divine weapon, it did not shatter Yi Cheng's physical body. Instead, Yi Cheng cried out in pain, grabbed the opponent's body, and threw it into the Black Sea. He then kicked it hard with his short legs. After a few loud rumbles, the entire Black Sea exploded, and countless underwater volcanoes erupted, with lava flowing like dragons and sweeping across the heavens and earth.
"Hit the tender ones, hit the tender ones, let the tender ones snatch the big treasure bamboo shoots, ahhh~~"
Yi Cheng was furious.
Every time he gets angry, his combat power increases countless times, and it keeps increasing without end.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of magical techniques erupted simultaneously, instantly repelling the attackers who had come to surround them.
Everyone was shocked, "How could she use so many magical arts at the same time?!"
"Kill her! This fat woman must not be allowed to live!"
The void trembled, and two more figures, shrouded in hazy light and shadow, stepped out.
"A half-step into the Tribulation Realm!?"
Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, frowning as he gazed at the sky, seemingly deep in thought. Finally, fearing something might go wrong, he decided to close the net and no longer risk waiting.
Yes, he had actually anticipated this ambush, and therefore he had made preparations in advance.
Buzz!
Xiao Xuan crushed several jade slips.
"Esteemed seniors, please show yourselves!"
As Xiao Xuan's clear voice rang out, the surrounding world suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Several enormous hands arrived, covering the sky and the sun, instantly obscuring the entire surrounding world.
"die! "
Several indifferent voices rang out simultaneously, and the two half-step Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators were instantly crushed in the void.
Buzzing.....
In the void, several immortal weapons emitted a dazzling light and overflowed with wisps of immortal power, forcefully suppressing all the Nascent Soul Realm experts.
Even if a few managed to escape, they were quickly wiped out by the imperial ancestors who had been waiting in the distance.
"Gurgle!"
Upon seeing this, Xuandu swallowed hard.
Looking at Xiao Xuan, he said, "You had this plan all along?"
"hehe. "
Xiao Xuan bowed to those around him and said, "This junior thanks all the seniors for their help!"
"It's alright, just don't forget the promise you made to us."
"Haha, rest assured, seniors, I always keep my word."
"Alright, you may go now. We will escort you safely to your destination."
"Thank you, senior."
Xiao Xuan cupped his hands in greeting, and after spending a long time calming down Yi Cheng and Da Bao, who were already in a state of rage, they set sail again.
Before setting sail, we also collected a batch of spoils.
