My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Gu Ruo Zhi was very fast. With a sinister expression, he used the entirety of his strength to strike with his palm.

Lou Mu Yan was currently controlling the two arrays and her hands constantly formed seals, so she couldn’t fight back at all.

Just when many people were wide-eyed and frightened by the sudden turn of events, two people appeared behind Lou Mu Yan and attacked Gu Ruo Zhi at the same time.

Su Jin was the number one on the Rising Soul Stele. Even if Gu Ruo Zhi hid his strength before, he still wasn’t his opponent, so the palm wind was shattered by Su Jin.

Lou Mu Bai struck his palm from the other side and landed heavily on Gu Ruo Zhi’s body. Unprepared for the sudden change, Gu Ruo Zhi spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled a few steps back.

And the eyes of Zhou Bei, who was originally absorbing elemental essence, glinted. He pulled out his giant axe and slashed towards Gu Ruo Zhi.

However, Gu Ruo Zhi wasn’t a vegetarian1 either, being a spy for so many years. He quickly used a defensive magic tool to resist Zhou Bei’s attack.

Just when he was about to commit suicide and reveal his trump card to attack Lou Mu Yan again, an inexplicable pain suddenly came from his chest which stopped him in his steps.

Then Xiao Xiu walked in front of him, playing with a crystal clear yellow gu insect in her hands, “Gu Ruo Zhi, the fate of a traitor is a life worse than death.”

Seeing this, the Seven-Coloured Parrot on her shoulder immediately began humming an inexplicable little tune, then everyone watched as Gu Ruo Zhi rolled on the ground with an even more sinister expression, blood spilling from his lips, obviously having bitten himself.

“Xiao—Xiao Xiu, you—you dared use gu on me?” He looked up at Xiao Xiu laboriously.

Xiao Xiu nodded: “Yeah! From the moment you passed the message to the people of the Hidden City, I placed a gu on you, a spy.”

Then she sneered disdainfully: “Do you think your plan was really successful? You wanted to sneak up on Junior Sister Lou, but how about taking a look at what you’re like?”

She hated Gu Ruo Zhi very much. This man once snatched her little brother’s fortuitous opportunity in a secret realm and because of that, even caused her little brother’s death.

In the Eight Extremes Sect, the pupils couldn’t kill each other, so she had always been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Gu Ruo Zhi.

Now that Lou Mu Yan had given her this opportunity, she naturally had to seize it.

Gu Ruo Zhi was the Hidden City’s spy. Even if he was killed, no superiors of the Sect would blame her, and she didn’t want this person to die in the hands of others, so she poisoned him with gu.

“Junior Sister Lou, can you leave Gu Ruo Zhi to me?” After thinking about it, Xiao Xiu looked at Lou Mu Yan and asked.

She wanted to take Gu Ruo Zhi to her little brother’s grave and use his fresh head to offer as sacrifice.

“Sure, whatever you want.” Lou Mu Yan knew the grievances between the two from Ming Xiu’s intel and didn’t want to intervene.

Gu Ruo Zhi was very hostile towards her, and he even secretly planned to attack the Lou Clan. All this must have come from the Gu Clan and Gu Yan Ran. It really would be too easy for him to just die like this, so it was good for Xiao Xiu to torture him a bit.

“Lou Mu Yan, my little sister will definitely make your life worse than death.” Gu Ruo Zhi was captured by Xiao Xiu. He raised his head and glared at Lou Mu Yan fiercely, the hatred in his eyes undisguised.

If it weren’t for this woman, the Gu Clan would’ve captured Yan’zhou Kingdom and destroyed the Lou Clan, and his little sister wouldn’t have had her dan’tian destroyed then taken by the superiors of the Hidden City to become some vessel.

Everything was because of this woman.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow then chuckled: “I sure want to see how your little sister makes my life worse than death, but I know that the you in the future definitely won’t be free from the fate of life worse than death.”

If they attacked her because of the grudges, then she’d acknowledge that, but the Gu Clan’s siblings actually tried to attack the Lou Clan—this completely stepped on her baseline.

She narrowed her eyes and a dangerous light flashed across it. Gu Yan Ran must not be left alive this time.

Soon, the battle ended with a landslide win.

The two Sword Deities that possessed the bodies had their soul energy dragged out by Bing Ji and Long Yao, then thrown to Jun Luo Chen to refine.

Meanwhile, Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu joined forces to break the other party’s Grade 6 Elemental Prison Array and added an array within an array to help the pupils of the Six Sects absorb and refine the elemental essence of the more than thirty Hidden City killers.

When the hair of the more than thirty Hidden City killers all turned white and their faces gradually withered and aged, the array also collapsed.

The pupils of the Six Sects all used their magic tools to behead the more than thirty people, leaving no future troubles.

“Senior Brother Chi, Junior Sister Lou, it’s all thanks to you two this time!”

The several elite pupils of the sects thanked the two.

If Lou Mu Yan hadn’t discovered Gu Ruo Zhi’s identity as a spy in advance and cracked the Communication Talisman, they wouldn’t have been able to prepare in advance.

If it weren’t for Lou Mu Yan and Chi Xiu’s spirit pets holding the two Sword Deities back, and the two working together to break the array, they probably would’ve lost their elemental essence like those killers of the Hidden City and became corpses.

“This is what we should do.” Lou Mu Yan said with a faint smile: “Now that we’ve entered the core area of the Land of Inheritance, and the killers of the Hidden City have basically died, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, you can now go look for fortuitous opportunities.”

After entering the core area, there would be countless Inheritance Halls waiting for everyone to find their fortuitous opportunity. If they still travelled as a group, it would not only be inconvenient, but it would also lead to conflicts over competing for opportunities.

Practically all of the killers who entered the Land of Inheritance from the Hidden City had died in their hands, and it was unlikely that they could jointly arrange an Elemental Prison Array again.

And it was also obviously impossible for the superiors of the Hidden City to be distracted and attack the pupils of the Six Sects again, so it was better to separate now.

Before, she and Ming Xiu had gathered all the pupils to forge a kind of force against the enemy together, which could also be regarded as forming a good relationship—one to lead out the last wave of killers from the Hidden City, and finally catch them all in one go.

The others were stunned for a moment when they heard her words, but no one objected.

Their ultimate purpose in entering the Land of Inheritance was not to deal with the Hidden City killers, but to find fortuitous opportunities for breakthroughs.

Now that the killers of the Hidden City were basically dead, it wasn’t good for them to continue to find opportunities together.

“Junior Sister Lou, Senior Brother Chi, we have remembered your life-saving grace. Feel free to ask us for anything in the future when need be.” A core pupil of the Sword Sect said gratefully.

People from the other Sects also promised the same. If it weren’t for the two of them, they probably would’ve truly died. Even if the two didn’t care about this favour, but they noted it down.

“Alright, if there is anything to trouble everyone with, then we definitely wouldn’t be polite.” Lou Mu Yan smiled sincerely.

Being able to befriend the elite pupils of the Inner Sect of the Six Sects was also beneficial to the Lou Clan.

Ming Xiu smiled faintly and didn’t speak. He didn’t care about the returns of these people.

The pupils of the Six Sects didn’t leave immediately but refined the elemental essence in their bodies before leaving one by one in the direction of the core area.

The two Luo Brothers, Lou Mu Bai, and Su Jin all didn’t leave. They were going to be with Lou Mu Yan.

“Jun Luo Chen said that three months later is the best time to infuse devil force. Let’s take advantage of this time to find opportunities in the Land of Inheritance.” Lou Mu Yan suggested.

The current Gu Yan Ran’s body had not yet met the conditions for the arrival of the Devil Race’s high-level split soul, and it needed to be tempered for three months in a place with dense devil force.

Therefore, they still had time to quickly improve their strength in preparation for the fierce battle in the near future.
