My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Alchemy Tribulations came wave after wave. Wherever Long Yao passed, there would be a spectacle of five coloured auspicious clouds condensing and drifting left behind.

Lou Mu Yan kept refining grade 7 pills. After refining the devil’s First Holy Maiden’s split soul before, her mental energy and soul energy had more than doubled in purity so she wasn’t afraid that she would incur backlash.

After refining a large amount of grade 7 pills, she rested for two hours, then took out materials for arrays and talismans to refine many grade 7 talismans and array balls.

A day later, they arrived on the Northern Front.

The Northern Front was also being attacked by the devil race right now, and the barrier was already slightly unstable from the attacks, it’s strength much weaker.

“The barrier won’t last long now. I wonder when Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu would arrive?” A Sword Deity paced back and forth anxiously.

Right now the entire Tian’ling Continent knew that Chi Xiu was actually the Hall Master of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance and his real name was Ming Xiu.

“The Northern Region is the farthest from them, so it’ll take some time.” A middle-aged man with the highest cultivation base sighed and said: “Let’s guard it to the end and see.”

“They’ve arrived, they’ve arrived, Lou Mu Yan’s here!” A Sword Deity standing behind the two suddenly looked at the distant sky and shouted excitedly.

Others looked up one after another and saw that beyond the barrier where they were currently fighting the devils, a large black cloud floated over from the distant sky, enveloping the blue sky, dense with buzzing sounds that could be heard ceaselessly.

“Excellent! They’re here at last.”

As soon as the Scarlet Bee swarm appeared, not only did the Sword Masters on the human side discover it, but also the devils.

It was the same situation as the previous two fronts. As long as they hadn’t yet broken through the opponent’s defence lines, they would immediately retreat once Lou Mu Yan appeared.

As a result, only a small number of people on the devil’s side became food for the Scarlet Bees because they had long been prepared. The others fled to several of their flying magic tools of peak quality Saint Treasure and disappeared here in the blink of an eye.

Lou Mu Yan’s lips raised into an arc and didn’t order the Scarlet Bees to chase after them. If she didn’t want to let these devils go, Bing Ji and Long Yao could just join hands and seal off this space.

The reason why they were allowed to escape was to use their schemes against them and let them go personally to the bottom or Yin’sha Cliff to have a taste of the long-awaited Yin beasts.

Since these devils descended to Tian’ing Continent, there were basically no survivors in the areas they’ve occupied. All of them had their souls extracted and sucked into the mouths of the Yin Soul Beasts, and each city they arrived at, blood would flow to become rivers. Their methods were very cruel.

So Lou Mu Yan had never been soft-hearted when dealing with the devils.

After landing at the base camp of the Western Front, Lou Mu Yan chatted with several Sword Deities, then joined hands with Ming Xiu to set up an array.

Their appearance made the human cultivators of the Western Front completely relieved, and the morale of the army was revived.

Some Sword Deities in the base camp looked at Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu, who were busy setting up arrays in the distance, and began to discuss in whispers.

“Lou Mu Yan’s pretty easy to get along with! Why is it rumoured that she’s a fiend?” A Sword Deity asked with a smile, “How can such a beautiful and gentle woman be fierce?”

“Didn’t you see the crystal recordings? She stood coldly in the air and commanded swarms of Scarlet Bees to wipe out the devil army completely. Although she didn’t look fierce, but her aura was indeed like a god of killing.” A Sword Deity said with lingering fears as he remembered the recordings he saw before and said.

“In the end, recordings aren’t clear. Maybe the news of Lou Mu Yan’s viciousness and bloodthirstiness released across the Continent had another purpose.”

A newly promoted Sword Deity who admired Lou Mu Yan paused and said: “Yes, that must be it. Maybe it’s the devil race’s plan.”

“True. Although Lou Mu Yan has the strength to fight one against a thousand, but she didn’t seem to be so ferocious. When she talked to us just now, she didn’t have any bloodthirstiness or hostility. The rumours aren’t true!”

“If someone really spread those rumours on purpose, then it’s too much. Lou Mu Yan’s notoriety is getting worse and worse and many people seem to be afraid of her.

“I even heard rumours that Lou Mu Yan’s spirit pets love to eat live Sword Masters, are bloodthirsty and cruel, and after they finish eating the devils they might even go eat human Sword Masters.”

“I heard about it too and it’s also rumoured that she secretly likes to practice evil methods using newborn babies not yet a month old, that’s why her cultivation base grew so fast.” Someone said shyly with a smile.

“Do those people think we’re blind.” The other person snorted coldly: “Just now Lou Mu Yan released the Scarlet Bee swarm and it’s power was indeed shocking but I didn’t feel a trace of cruelty or bloodthirstiness. If we didn’t use such means against the devils, we’ll be the ones waiting to die.”

“Exactly, Lou Mu Yan used the Scarlet Bee swarm to destroy the devils for the sake of the entire Continent’s war state. Such behaviour isn’t cruel at all. But I’ve never heard of her using her Scarlet Bee swarm to kill human Sword Masters indiscriminately.”

“Compared to the fact of the devils extracting souls and refining them at will, slaughtering entire cities and turning tens of thousands of cultivators into Yin Soul Beast food, Lou Mu Yan’s counterattack only satisfies our hearts.”

“If it weren’t for Lou Mu Yan, the Eastern, Southern, and Western Fronts would’ve been breached by the devils ages ago. Who knows how many people would die. Those people not remembering the favour is one story, why are they dropping rocks on someone at the bottom of the well and spread such unfavourable rumours about her.”

“That’s right! I wonder if someone has ulterior motives to harm her. I guess it might be a conspiracy by the devils.” Someone said with indignation.

“You sure guessed it, the rumours about Lou Mu Yan weren’t like this in the beginning, but in the past two days, the rumours have become more and more ridiculous. It must be the hidden spies of the devil race who are trying to frame her while the situation is like muddy waters.”

“…” The more they spoke the more infuriated they became, and other Sword Deities also joined in to the conspiracy and began to analyse the rumours.

Lou Mu Yan, Ming Xiu, and Su Jin in the distance all had powerful mental energy, so they naturally heard their discussions.

Su Jin’s elegant and handsome face revealed a rare sense of grimness. He was just joking about the notoriety earlier, but he didn’t expect that someone would really use the Scarlet Bee colony and Lou Mu Yan’s spirit pets to make a fuss about it all and slander her as cruel and bloodthirsty.

“Senior Brother why bother being angry. Just let it spread, nothing wrong with being a bit vicious.” Lou Mu Yan smiled without care.

Su Jin furrowed his brows and said in disapproval: “Before I came to you, the rumours about you on the continent were all about your magnificence, your combat power being amazing and powerful, and you were more worshiped than feared. Who expected that the direction of the wind would change like this in only a few days.

“I wonder which vicious person spread this rumour.” He said coldly: “The power of the Hidden City has basically been uprooted by the temporary alliance superiors. It must be a powerful force among the human race to mess the situation up pike this.”

Lou Mu Yan sneered: “Who else besides the Bai Clan and Gǔ Clan1 would spread such rumours.”

“You know but you’re still smiling?” Su Jin rolled his eyes at her, disgruntled.

Ming Ciu narrowed his eyes, looked at Lou Mu Yan with a smile and said: “Yan’er, wants to use these rumours to get rid of the Bai Clan and Gǔ Clan.”

“Mm, if I don’t do something borrowing the reputation of being cruel and bloodthirsty, wouldn’t it disappoint their efforts of caring about me so much.” Lou Mu Yan smiled ever so sweetly, incomparably beautiful.

1this Gǔ (古) is the Gǔ Clan that Gǔ Ning Meng, that wanna-be betrothed of Ye Qing Han, belongs to. Not the one that Gu Yan Ran belongs to (the woman that appeared near the beginning of the story and was possessed by the First Holy Maiden in the Land of Inheritance) and definitely not the same Gǔ as Gǔ Qing (although same tone) who’s the Sect Leader of Heavenly Secret Palace (who has a potential suspicious history with our beloved Talisman School Headmaster Huo Ling Long—a plot point that I randomly remembered and it has not been explored as in-depth HAHA. I bet people even forgot his name, because I kinda did XD)
