My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

After another month, the Devil Race War Ruins at the bottom of Yin’sha Cliff that was originally looming in the black mist completely disappeared.

After the war ruins disappeared, the Yin Beasts here suddenly rioted as if in a panic.

On another path, Lou Mu Yan and the others were sneaking back to the top of the Yin’sha Cliff with the Invisibility Talismans.

On the top of the cliff, ten men in black with Sword Deity cultivation bases sat cross-legged and they all opened their eyes when they heard the roars of the Yin Beasts coming from below.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel like many Yin Beasts are rioting below?” An elderly man said with furrowed brows.

A middle-aged man sighed and said: “It’s too dangerous down there, we can’t go deep so we won’t be able to investigate.”

Before, they had wanted to go down to the bottom of the Yin’sha Cliff to see, but who knew that they almost lost their minds because of the dense yin’sha halfway down the cliff.

The Yin Beasts that suddenly appeared from time to time on the countless caves on the cliff were also difficult to deal with and they almost died before they arrived at the bottom.

All in all, the bottom of the cliff was truly sinister, and even if there were Yin Beasts rioting, they were powerless.

“I’ll pass the news back to the headquarters first.” The elderly man took out a Communication Talisman and said: “Could it be that Lou Mu Yan and the others caused the commotion?”

“Impossible.” Another person said: “They’ve been down there for two months. If something happened, it would’ve long happened. I think they’ve been buried at the bottom of the cliff already.”

“Yeah! Although they’re also Sword Deities, but there must be a huge number of high-level Yin Beasts at the bottom of the cliff. It’s simply impossible for them to breakthrough.” The middle-aged man continued: “Besides, with such dense yin’sha aura down there alone, it’d be a lot for them to handle.”

The elderly man pondered, then said: “That’s true. I was overthinking it. They must’ve died considering how long they haven’t come out for.”

The yin’sha aura at the bottom of Yin’sha Cliff was something that even they, who had cultivated Devil Methods, couldn’t stand for a few days, let alone Lou Mu Yan and her party.

“By the way, I heard that the devil army is storming the Imperial Capital of Yan’zhou Kingdom, but they were suddenly blocked by a grade 7 array that the Lou Clan suddenly activated.”

The middle-aged man said: “The Holy Maiden has already transferred two grade 7 array masters from the headquarters over, I wonder if they can break the array.”

“That Lou Mu Yan and Chi Xiu are indeed peerless geniuses. At such an age, they can already set up grade 7 arrays.” A Sword Deity said with a complicated look: “The saying ‘Heaven is jealous of heroic geniuses1’ isn’t wrong at all.”

“They’re grade 7 array masters, but the two from our Hidden City aren’t vegetarians either, so don’t worry.”

The elderly man said with a smile: “Now that the devil army has captured half of the entire Continent, I believe our mission to stay here will be over in another month or two.”

“In a month or two, Tian’ling Continent will be completely conquered and reduced to fish on the chopping board. We no longer have to covertly cultivate devil methods.” A person echoes.

“Yeah! Although the hidden powerhouses on Tian’ling Continent were all dispatched, but our main force is three thousand Sword Deities, thirty thousand Sword Saints and Sword Venerables. What they’re doing now is just fighting stubbornly with their back to a wall. It’s impossible for them to save themselves from falling into our hands.”

“…”

The several people were still talking about the war on Tian’ling Continent, but no one noticed that Lou Mu Yan and her party of four were openly standing right beside them, listening to them.

Even when they left, they only felt a gust of wind and didn’t notice that there were people who came up from Yin’sha Cliff then left.

After leaving Falling Ghost River, the four of them sat on Long Yao’s back and rushed towards Yan’zhou Kingdom.

“The devil army came so quickly and their overall strength is so strong.” Lou Mu Yan’s expression was grave.

Three thousand Sword Deities, and thirty thousand Sword Saints, Sword Venerables—such numbers of high-level powerhouses simply weren’t something that Tian’ling Continent could compete with.

“And this is only the first wave. The devil’s space that temporarily opened up in the Land of Inheritance will be stable for a period of time in a year. It’s estimated that the second wave of the devil army will come soon.” Ming Xiu said with furrowed brows.

“If the devil army wants to enter Yin’sha Cliff and clear the surrounding Yin Beasts to enter deep into the Devil Race War Ruins, they must use the human sea tactic, so the purpose of the first wave of devils must be to occupy Tian’ling Continent first, then go to the bottom of Yin’sha Cliff to find the Devil Race War Ruins.”

A cold glint flashed across Lou Mu Yan’s eyes, “We absolutely can’t let them have the opportunity for the second wave of the devil army to arrive.”

If that was the case, Tian’ling Continent would really be reduced to the enslavement by the devil race.

Ming Xiu took her hand and said: “We’ll have their first wave of legions have no returns. After Jun Luo Chen fused the core of the Devil Race War Runs and inherited the crystal, he should be able to completely erase the devil’s teleportation coordinates in the spatial rift outside the Land of Inheritance.

“As soon as the temporary passage they established is destroyed, it’d be more difficult to step onto Tian’ling Continent again than what they did after planning for a millennium.”

Lou Mu Yan nodded, pondered, then hooked her lips: “We can use the Devil Race War Ruins to hold back most of the devil army powers, then annihilate them all.”

Ming Xiu guessed Lou Mu Yan’s plan as soon as he heard what she said, and his heart moved, saying with a smile: “That’s a good method. As long as Jun Luo Chen has fused and inherited the crystal, it can be implemented.”

Yan’zhou Kingdom Imperial Palace.

The superiors of the imperial family and the superiors of the various distinguished clans of Yan’zhou Kingdom gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

“The devils have occupied nearly half of the Continent’s territory in the past month and many kingdoms have fallen, with refugees fleeing everywhere.”

Yun Tian Chen sighed and said: “It was only small and medium-sized kingdoms being besieged and occupied before, but now the devils have officially started to attack large and superpower kingdoms.”

“Your Majesty, what’s the attitude of the Six Sects right now?” A superior of a distinguished clan looked at Yun Tian Chen and asked.

Yun Tian Chen replied: “There are four main fronts, and the superiors of the Six Sects and other major forces have already dispatched a large number of powerhouses to establish four lines of defence. Yan’zhou Kingdom is too remote, and the line of defence may take ten days to expand here.”

“That long? There’s nothing from the Eight Extremes Sect either?” A superior asked.

Yun Tian Chen sighed and said: “The Eight Extremes Sect and Sword Sect originally sent four Sword Deities and ten Sword Saints to reinforce Yan’zhou, but they’re held back by the devil’s Sword Deity.

At this time, the Sword Deities and Sword Saints of the Six Sects and major forces had all been gathered to establish a line of defence. It’s already because of Lou Mu Yan and Lou Mu Bai that they could assign four Sword Deities and ten Sword Saints to support Yan’zhou Kingdom.

“Fortunately, we still have the support of the grade 7 combined offensive and defensive array arranged by Senior Lou and Senior Chi, otherwise even the Imperial Capital would have fallen long ago.” A senior aristocrat said with lingering fears.

Right now, large and superpower kingdoms of the Four Regions were all envious to death of Yan’zhou Kingdom, with no other reason—with the grade 7 array, Yan’zhou Kingdom had been in a stalemate with one of the devil race’s legions for half a month now.

If it were any other kingdom, even if a superpower kingdom, they probably would’ve fallen long before half a month.

What could they do. This time, the devil race’s army’s devil soldiers were at weakest Sword Venerable and they weren’t something that a single kingdom could resist.
