My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan didn’t delay any longer and hurried towards the core area on Ming Xiu’s flying magic tool.

“Is that Sword Deity dead?” Lou Mu Yan asked Ming Xiu, remembering the Sword Deity who controlled Chu Han’s body.

Ming Xiu took a sip of the Honey Tea brewed by Lou Mu Yan and replied with a smile: “He’s not dead. His soul was restrained by stupid dragon, but Chu Han was rescued by a powerhouse of the Devil Race that tore open space.”

“Tore open space? Is there an existence beyond Sword Deity on Tian’ling Continent?” Lou Mu Yan asked in surprise.

Even if it were a powerhouse of Peak-Phase Sword Deity, it was impossible for them to have the ability to tear open space.

“No, it’s just a Sword Master at Peak-Phase Sword Deity, but they probably used some sort of secret skill from the Devil Race to control a part of the energy of the Land of Inheritance, enabling them to use the ability to tear open space, but the backlash should also be huge.” Ming Xiu said with narrowed eyes.

Lou Mu Yan’s expression revealed that she was deep thought, then after a while, she said with implications: “The Devil Race would rather sacrifice a Sword Deity to save Chu Han, it seems that his status in the Devil Race isn’t low!”

“If I guessed correctly, he should be a Devil Race Holy Son who was secretly raised in this small interface, but he hasn’t fully awakened, so he’s naturally much more valuable than a Sword Deity.” Ming Xiu said.

Lou Mu Yan asked in surprise: “The Holy Son of the Devil Race secretly raised in this small interface? Then is that different from Shen Mu Feng? Why do they want to raise him in a small interface?”

“The Devil Race will choose many different small interfaces and use special methods to place the babies with pure talent and bloodline after birth in those places to cultivate and raise.”

Ming Xiu paused, then said: “In small interfaces, spiritual force is thin and resources are scarce, so the Holy Sons who can break through Sword Deity and ascend to Guang’ling World would have better potential and strength in general than those on Guang’ling World.”

“Then what if the training fails? If Chu Han can’t break through Sword Deity, then wouldn’t the Devil Race’s efforts be in vain?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

“That’s why there are many Holy Son babies who are transported to the lower interfaces, and even if the success is only one percent, the Devil Race still benefits.”

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “So that’s how it is.”

She had heard Mo Yan say that the upper world only had Guang’ling World, but there were hundreds of thousands of small interfaces like Tian’ling Continent, and the degree of spiritual force was also different on each.

Meanwhile, Tian’ling Continent could be regarded as being among the middle in terms of resources and spiritual force among the lower interfaces.

“I wonder what the Devil Race’s plans are. The Hidden City plans to wipe out the talented elites of all the Six Sects, so it must have something to do with them.” Lou Mu Yan said with slight worry.

It wouldn’t have mattered if she was still like in her past where she was alone. She wouldn’t care too much about whether the Devil Race would disturb and cause turmoil on this Continent or not.

But now that there were relatives and friends on this Continent, then she had to worry about their safety.

Ming Xiu held her hand and said: “Don’t worry, there’s still me for everything.”

He must destroy the plans of the Devil Race who wanted to occupy Tian’ling Continent and plunder their resources while making them into slaves.

“Mm.” Lou Mu Yan clasped Ming Xiu’s hand tightly and nodded.

Ming Xiu took out a dark bottle and handed it to Lou Mu Yan, “There’s the soul energy of the Sword Saint in here. Let Jun Luo Chen refine it.”

As soon as Lou Mu Yan took the bottle, a black smoke emerged from her pendant and wrapped the bottle away.

Then they heard Jun Luo Chen’s voice: “Your man’s not bad.”

An arc rose on Ming Xiu’s lips—this Devil Lord sure was sensible.

Lou Mu Yan twitched the corners of her lips, and really wanted to ask Jun Luo Chen: What about your dignity as the Devil Lord, how could it have been bought by the soul power of a puny Sword Deity.

If Jun Luo Chen knew what Lou Mu Yan thought, he’d only purse his lips—right now, he was the expired Devil Lord, what did his dignity matter. The most important thing was to improve his strength and fight his way back for revenge.

Moreover, he had this understanding because of what Lou Mu Yan said last time. There was nothing wrong with doing it again. His previous self was indeed too arrogant and always disdained in using ruthless means to confront the enemy—that was why he was deceived by the weak and murdered.

Now that he had fully enlightened, he also learnt a lot about the path of survival from Lou Mu Yan. He mustn’t be soft-hearted when it was time to scheme, and it was too easy to let their enemy die—playing them to death was the righteous path.

Lou Mu Yan sure didn’t expect that a Devil Lord that was originally upright in his methods, after following her for a long time, would actually start to grow crooked in his ways…

“Did that Sword Deity know anything? Like what the real purpose of the Devil Race is in the Land of Inheritance?” Lou Mu Yan recalled that Ming Xiu had ordered Long Yao to search his soul before she fell asleep.

Ming Xiu replied: “He doesn’t know much. He only has two missions, one to protect Chu Han to the core area of the Land of Inheritance and meet with a Devil Race leader, and the other is to assist Chu Han to kill us, as well as to eliminate the pupils of the Six Sects and other top forces when met.”

“What a sinister plan.” Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows, “Is the Hidden City preparing to oppose the major forces of Tian’ling Continent after leaving the Land of Inheritance?”

“If there’s no accident, they should be. In the core area of the Land of Inheritance, they definitely must have some purpose and plans to implement. We have to destroy it.” Ming Xiu’s face revealed a rare solemn colour.

Lou Mu Yan nodded firmly: “Mm, we mustn’t let their plans succeed.”

If they wanted to kill her and Ming Xiu, then they must be prepared to have a huge portion of their meat bitten off by them.

Along the way, they encountered several waves of killers from the Hidden City, but they were all easily handled by the Ming Xiu, turning into nourishment for Xue Xue.

A few days later, more than a dozen people suddenly fled in their direction from the horizon not far away. Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes, used her mental energy to investigate, and was stunned.

“It’s pupils from our Eight Extremes Sect.” She immediately stood up and said to Ming Xiu: “I’ll go take a look.”

Ming Xiu was cultivating a secret skill right now, and it was inconvenient to go out. He opened his eyes and said: “Be careful.”

Then after Lou Mu Yan left the flying magic tool, he looked at Long Yao and said: “Go protect Yan’er.”

“Ming Xiu, you who discards your humanity for the opposite sex, I’m not your woman’s spirit pet.” Long Yao snorted and turned his head away.

Ming Xiu chuckled: “If you have a good relationship with Yan’er, maybe she’ll let you raise Mo Yan a bit after he comes out.”

Long Yao’s originally listless eyes instantly lit up. Remembering Mo Yan’s fluffy ears and that tender softness, he just wanted to hold him in his arms and play with him.

“I’ll go.”

Ming Xiu watched Long Yao turn into a purple light and dash out of the flying magic tool, and he whispered: “Really a stupid dragon who doesn’t like to think.”

Mo Yan used to be the king of a portion of the Demon Realm, and it was a coincidence that Lou Mu Yan could contract him, so how could he be willing to let the stupid dragon play with him as a pet.

Now that the confinement in Mo Yan’s body had been lifted, his cultivation speed would also increase a lot, and maybe he’d even be able to breakthrough to Tier 10 soon.

And with Mo Yan’s scheming and methods, this stupid dragon would definitely be beaten.

Ming Xiu smiled with some gloating, then closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

Long Yao, who had already flown out some distance, sneezed several times in succession. He rubbed his nose, wondering inwardly that could it be that he was tricked by Ming Xiu again?
