My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Entering the passage leading to the alter wasn’t easy. There were numerous level 7 restrictions. If it weren’t for Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu gaining a thorough understanding of the inheritance from before, it would’ve been difficult to break.

Passing through the passage, they all entered Long Yao’s internal space and Long Yao snuck into the altar while hiding his aura.

Devil race altar.

A wave of devil force surged out from the bottom of the well and enveloped the three women who were sitting cross-legged as the yin’sha force spread throughout the altar.

“Young Lord, is the devil force tempering finishing soon?” A man who sat cross-legged on a black crystal column asked.

The cyan-clothed man slowly opened his eyes, “Tomorrow we will be able to perform the sacrificial ceremony, so you should all prepare first.”

“Yes.” The other eight nodded when they heard his words.

Long Yao was a late-phase tier 10 demonic beast and had the bloodline of the Primordial Void Dragon King, so as long as there was no Sword Deity stage cultivators or demonic beasts above tier 10, then no one would be able to discover his aura.

Lou Mu Yan and the others could spy on the outside situation in his internal space.

“Should we act first so that they can’t perform the descending of the split soul ceremony?” Su Jin asked gravely.

Ming Xiu replied: “The nine of them are all Advanced-Phase and Peak-Phase Sword Deities. If we act now, not only will we not be able to destroy their plan, but we may even be caught by the other party and have our elemental essence absorbed.”

Hearing Ming Xiu’s words, everyone except Lou Mu Yan was stunned.

“Nine Advanced-Phase and Peak-Phase Sword Deities? I can tell that two of them used a possession skill, but how did the other seven get in?” Su Jin asked in surprise.

He couldn’t detect the cultivation base of the nine people before them. He originally thought that the other party was just using some kind of secret Sskill to cover themselves up, but he didn’t expect they were all Sword Deity powerhouses of Advanced-Phase and Peak-Phase. This truly was tricky!

Lou Mu Yan said: “Senior Brothers, have you discovered that after entering this altar, the binding force of the Land of Inheritance on us is so weak that it can be ignored.”

Only then did the others realise that the power that was previously suppressing them was pretty much useless now.

“They should’ve used a secret skill to suppress their cultivation base to enter here. After arriving at the altar, they dispelled their secret skill.” Lou Mu Bai said.

“Then what are we going to do now?” Luo Li asked with furrowed brows.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but it was difficult to implement the plan of destroying the other party’s schemes with just their strength.

“When they start the sacrificial ceremony and when the devil race’s split souls descend, these nine people will also spend a lot of elemental essence and elemental energy on the ceremony. By then, that’s when we’ll act.” Ming Xiu said slowly.

Luo Li pursed his lips and said: “Why do people from the devil race know so many secret skills? If the Sword Deities of our Six Sects could have such secret skills, then that’d be great.”

“The devil race is a ruler an entire realm in the upper world, so their foundations and secrets definitely shouldn’t be underestimated.” Lou Mu Yan said: “Compared to Tian’ling Continent where we’re located, we’re just the tip of the iceberg, so we couldn’t compare in terms of secret skills either.”

Luo Li sighed: “True. I really wonder what they want to do on our Tian’ling Continent to go through such labour.”

In fact, Luo Li’s question was also the mystery in everyone else’s minds.

There were so many lower interfaces, and Tian’ling Continent was only at around middle-lower level. Even if someone wanted to plunder resources, they should go to the lower interfaces with richer resources.

There must be more behind the devil race coming to Tian’ling Continent and going through such painstaking efforts.

“What they want might be the abyss below the cliff at Falling Ghost River.” After a while, Ming Xiu said.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes flashed with clarity, and she narrowed her eyes with a smile: “The abyss beneath the Falling Ghost River is filled with yin’sha force, and there’re often devil race people wandering around there. There must really be some treasured there.”

“…” The others couldn’t help but hold their forehead when they saw her narrowing her eyes and scheming for those treasures.

Lou Mu Bai stroked her nose in amusement and said: “Your eyes light up whenever you hear that there’s any treasures. If that place is really being coveted by the devil race, it’s definitely not a good place and the danger there is definitely greater than in the Land of Inheritance. Don’t be thinking about it.”

Compared to the safety of his little sister, treasures were all meaningless.

“I know, big brother, I still value my own little life very much.” Lou Mu Yan rubbed her nose and smiled: “But if we can destroy the devil race’s plan and also snatch the treasures they’re coveting, such a thing of killing two birds with one stone, if we don’t go to hell for it, who will?”

“It’s not necessarily treasures.” Su Jin said with a smile.

“There must be treasures in the abyss of Falling Ghost River. My sixth sense won’t be wrong.” Lou Mu Yan said confidentially.

“Mu Yan, count me in for finding treasures!” Luo Li said with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan liked treasures, so he would accompany her to find it. Danger and whatever, he wasn’t afraid.

Lou Mu Yan cast a look to Luo Li as if to say he indeed had good eyes: “As expected, little wild cat has experience.”

The others lowered their heads and chuckled. Luo Li was obviously just following along without any thoughts.

“By the way, Big Brother, the matter between you and Second Brother might only be doable if we go to the abyss below the cliff of the Falling Ghost River.” Lou Mu Yan looked at Lou Mu Bai and said.

She had told Lou Mu Bai before regarding the fact that he and her second brother’s constitutions could be swapped. He also agreed to it and according to Mo Yan, the place where the secret skill could be performed required strong yin’sha force.

Then only Yin’sha Cliff at Falling Ghost River could meet the conditions, so she wondered if everything was destined. She just felt like there was something there that she should be looking for.

“Mm, I’ll accompany you to explore when the time comes.” Lou Mu Bai knew that it was difficult for his little sister to give up on what she’s interested in, so what’s the harm in going crazy with her.

On the altar, the cyan-clothed man asked the nine people to start building an array.

The nine took out a dark black iron ball one after another with devil force surging within it and then tossed it casually as they chanted spells.

The iron balls swirled in mid-air and fell to the nine positions to form the force of nine palaces. One after another, array imprints landed from the palms of the nine people.

Then the nine black crystal pillars instantly lit up and an eight trigrams pattern connected the nine pillars into one. The side representing yin enveloped the deep well.

“Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array. It’s a grade 7 joint array.” Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows, “That cyan-clothed man and woman are both grade 7 array masters, and the others are being assisted with magic tools.”

“Mm, but the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array isn’t complete. The yang portion can’t be used.” Ming Xiu hooked his lips upwards, “The real Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array needs grade 8 array masters to be able to complete it.”

So they still had a good chance of breaking the array.

“Mm, we’ll be able to break this array from the entrance on the yang side.” Lou Mu Yan smiled tacitly.

She and Ming Xiu had mastered a lot of arrays. If their cultivation base and strength kept up, they could also breakthrough to grade 8 array masters.

At the same time, Ye Qing Han used a treasure of the sea race to hide his aura in a corner.

Lan Si and the other three cast a secret skill to fuse their auras with the altar and waited for an opportunity on the side.

The devil races at the altar placed all their energy into the array and didn’t discover the groups of people that were hidden at all.
