MEIWITA Chapter 584: Violate the Reversed Scale and Provocation

After the commander of the devils gave his orders, the ten Sword Saints behind him walked up and looked at the Sword Masters of Yan’zhou Kingdom with vicious gazes.

People with such strength didn’t even need Sword Deities to take care of them—they truly didn’t know what the Third Holy Maiden was thinking.

Seeing the Sword Masters of the devils walking slowly towards them step by step, many people’s psychological defences were completely defeated, and several people turned around and fled towards the centre of the city.

But after only flying a few steps out, they were slashed into pieces by the sword aura of a Sword Saint behind them, and a huge Yin Beast loomed in mid-air, tearing the souls of those people in its mouth and swallowing them.

“Want to run? Truly a dream!” The commander of the devils sneered disdainfully, and a wave of pressure of a Peak-Phase Sword Deity fell heavily and enveloped the entire Yan’zhou Kingdom.

This pressure alone made many people who were originally standing be crushed to half-kneel on the ground, and some even spurted blood and passed out.

The people of Yan’zhou Kingdom who saw this now felt completely hopeless and they just waited painfully for death to arrive.

Lou Zhan Tian and the rest of the Lou Clan stood tall and straight, their gaze firm, and struggled to withstand.

A Sword Deity beside the devil race commander snorted coldly, “Lou Mu Yan’s grandfather, let me extract your soul and refine it to give to the Third Holy Maiden.”

Then he took a step forward, appeared in front of Lou Zhan Tian, and a transparent large hand appeared on top of Lou Zhan Tian’s head.

“Dad/Grandpa/Patriarch/General Lou.” Many couldn’t resist exclaiming at this moment.

Lou Zhan Tian’s face remained unchanged. His body was restrained by the pressure of the huge hand, and he couldn’t move at all. He calmly waited for death.

[BANG!!]

Just when everyone thought that Lou Zhan Tian was going to have his soul extracted and refined by the Sword Deity, a menacing purple-gold fire qi’lin suddenly appeared in front of Lou Zhan Tian.

Then with a roar, it suddenly grew bigger, and a flaming qi’lin claw slapped down hard. The Sword Deity was sent flying a hundred metres away.

“I sure want to see who dares to extract and refine my grandpa’s soul.” A bone-chilling voice sounded.

Then the figures of Lou Mu Yan and the others appeared from the air.

“Grandpa, are you alright.” Lou Mu Yan pulled Lou Zhan Tian over and scrutinised him, then heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they arrived just in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

She made a heavy mental note of that Third Holy Maiden. This was a feud that must be forged.

If she didn’t sabotage the other party’s plans properly, she wouldn’t be able to vent her anger.

Lou Zhan Tian was stunned for a moment, then said with gratification in his eyes: “Grandpa’s fine.”

He didn’t know why, even though the opponent had so many high-level powerhouses, but he had unlimited confidence in his granddaughter.

In his heart, he didn’t want his home, Yan’zhou Kingdom, to be enslaved by the devils. Now that his granddaughter had returned, another wave of hope rose.

The other people in Yan’zhou Kingdom were overjoyed when they saw Lou Mu Yan and the others appearing, and the despair that they originally had dissipated a lot.

However, there were also many people who weren’t optimistic about the current situation. After all, there were too many high-level powerhouses on the other side and the same-level Sword Deities were more than twice as many as Lou Mu Yan’s group of four.

The devil’s Sword Deity who was blown back by the fire qi’lin looked horrified, “You actually have a Purple-Gold Spirit Flame that already gave birth to spiritual wisdom.”

High-level spirit flames had a restraining effect on the skills of devils. The Purple-Gold Spirit Flame could even rank in the top twenty on Guang’ling World. Right now, there was a burning feeling in his body, as if he was about to be melted.

The commander of the devil race slapped the Sword Deity on the back, and a gust of cool water instantly extinguished the fire poison. The man’s face gradually recovered.

“You’re that Lou Mu Yan who the Third Holy Maiden hates so much.” The commander of the devils looked Lou Mu Yan up and down.

He also had to admit that it was truly rare for a genius like Lou Mu Yan to come out of a small interface like Tian’ling Continent.

If such a person could break through the suppression of the highest level of cultivation on this interface and ascend to Guang’ling World, as long as she was given room to grow, she would be extraordinary in the future.

No wonder Third Holy Maiden wanted to kill this hidden danger at the growing stage. He understood it now.

With a cold expression, Lou Mu Yan replied indifferently: “Yeah! I’m Lou Mu Yan, but I also hate that old woman you mentioned to the extreme.”

Anyone who targeted her relatives was trampling on her baseline and violating the untouchable reversed scale on a dragon’s back1.

She was a person who repaid every kindness, but also every little grievance.

“…”

Hearing Lou Mu Yan boldly call the Third Holy Maiden an old woman that she hated to the extreme, the devils present couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their lips. They wondered if the Third Holy Maiden would go crazy and want to kill someone if she heard such address.

And just as they thought, the original soft of Ling Qiu, who was watching the battle in front of a crystal ball right now, instantly darkened.

The surrounding commanders of the devil race, and the Hidden City superiors, only felt a gloomy, cold air surrounding them. They were miserable within. They only hoped that the Third Holy Maiden wouldn’t take her anger out on them.

“Send a message to Mo Nine2 and tell him to confine the soul of that damned girl to bring here.” Ling Qiu’s tone was very calm, but anyone who knew her knew that she probably had the heart to eat that girl alive right now.

If it weren’t for the distance from here to Yan’zhou Kingdom, the Third Holy Maiden would definitely have personally gone to extract Lou Mu Yan’s soul and refine it, torturing her so hard that she would rather die than live, and never to be reincarnated.

“As ordered!” One person immediately replied respectfully, then took out a special Ten-Thousand Li Communication Talisman to activate.

Mo Nine’s sea of consciousness received the communication. He furrowed his brows, then looked at Lou Mu Yan with slight pity, “The Third Holy Maiden ordered me to detain your soul. You sure are quick to talk, but in the future, your soul would be tortured endlessly, so why bother?”

“Really? That old woman is actually this perverted!” Lou Mu Yan sneered.

She smiled beautifully, looked indifferently in one direction of the air, and said provocatively as her red lips parted: “I’m really looking forward to the tricks of yours, old woman, just come at me.”

Mo Nine and the other powerhouse devils couldn’t resist sweating. This woman was truly so bold.

Not to mention on this small interface, there weren’t many people who dared to provoke the Third Holy Maiden even on Guang’ling World, or they’d long be as dead as could be.

What was more, Lou Mu Yan kept saying ‘old woman’—that woman hated those words the most.

They wondered if she was brave or just didn’t know her limits.

Ling Qiu narrowed her eyes and the cold air emanating from her body was even more horrifying. Looking at the beautiful smiling young woman in the crystal ball, she smiled out of anger, “Damned girl. Good!”

When the others heard her soft voice, they felt a chill go down their spines and immediately shrank their necks.

Although Mo Nine was far away, but he could still imagine the anger of the Third Holy Maiden after seeing the image on the crystal ball sent through an array, and his hairs felt like they were going to stand on end.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that right now, the Third Holy Maiden probably didn’t want to just extract and refine Lou Mu Yan’s soul anymore.

“Damned girl, do you think you’re worthy to slander the Third Holy Maiden?” Commander Mo Nine said with a grim expression: “You’re truly seeking death.”

This time, he was definitely going to be implicated by this through that sinister Third Holy Maiden. It was all this damned girl’s fault.

He must detain Lou Mu Yan’s soul today, or he would definitely die after he returns.

Lou Mu Yan smiled sweetly, casually playing with a strand of her black hair and said gently: “So you devils like to speak so boldly. I’ll just watch how you, an ugly monster, could make me seek death.”

Ming Xiu’s eyes were filled with deep, cold, killing intent. The Third Holy Maiden of the devils was it?

1‘reversed scale’ 逆鳞 (nì lín), or a scale that grew incorrectly on a dragon. Figuratively, it’s a scale on a dragon one cannot touch. It’s also used to describe a person’s weak point, but not necessarily used with a negative connotation, and instead, in a more ‘you touch, you die’ sense. Like someone touched your nerves.

2it seems the commanders are all named with numbers. I decided to use numbers. His name is ‘Mo Jiu’. ‘Mo’ is 魔, meaning devil/demon/evil spirit etc. And ‘Jiu’ (九) is nine. Aka Devil Nine.
