My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 117: Jealous

He held up a piece of Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal to play with, looking down with a bit of tease in his eyes, and said in an extremely arrogant tone: “This Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal is in This Highness’s hands, if you want them, come get it.”dem

“Humph, from where did such an arrogant person come out from. You and I are both Sword Sovereigns. With you alone you want to provoke us all, you truly are courting death.”

The Xue Clan’s Ancestor looked at the red-clothed man in the sky with cold eyes. This man gave him a sense of oppressive danger. But the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal’s attraction was simply too great.

He suggested to the other Sword Sovereigns and the two Demon Cultivators: “Let’s attack together. Whoever obtains the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal will it belong to who.”

His words made the other Sword Sovereigns and the two Demon Cultivators interested. They flew up together, surrounded Ming Xiu, then mobilised their Elemental Energy together to utilise their Magic Tools, wanting to kill him first then obtain the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal.

Ye Zhan, who was standing by the lava, didn’t join the siege of Ming Xiu. His gaze was deep and far-reaching. Seeing Lan Si walk to the side with a piece of Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, he unconsciously said, “That person is very strong.”

Lan Si swept his gaze meaningfully over to Lou Mu Yan who stood atop the ice pillar, watching the battle fixedly. Then he cast his gaze on the silver masked, red-clothed man, “Those people are all sending themselves to their deaths.”

The indifference in Ming Xiu’s eyes didn’t fade despite being surrounded, as if these Sword Sovereigns were irrelevant to him.

They were being underestimated—this was the first feeling of the several Sword Sovereigns.josei

“Go!” The Ancestor of the Xue Clan narrowed his eyes and brandished a red silk ribbon from within his sleeve.

This was his high-level Spirit Treasure. Every time it was brandished, it had never been in a disadvantage as it trapped Sword Masters within the red silk. Although it couldn’t trap one for long, but it was enough for him to kill the person.

Following the Ancestor of the Xue Clan, all the Sword Sovereigns who besieged Ming Xiu either swung their swords in anger or attacked using their Spirit Treasures.

In an instant, the cave lit up in various colours that carried strong pressure. The Demonic Beasts and Sword Masters below all felt extremely suppressed and it even became difficult to move.

A light curve appeared on Ming Xiu’s lips, and a golden longsword appeared in his hands. His eyes sharpened and he merely waved his sword casually.

A violent metal attribute Elemental Energy sword aura flew from the longsword, forming nine golden hurricanes, slashing straight towards the seven humans and two Demonic Beasts.

The hurricane formed by the sword aura swept past and the sword auras that flew towards him collapsed one after the other. Their Spiritual Treasures also grew dim and returned into the hands of the few people.

With disregard in his eyes, he slashed down again. A cyclone exploded from his longsword then turned into nine golden rays of light, shooting directly at the seven humans and two Demonic Beasts.

The seven humans and two Demonic Beasts all revealed horror in their eyes. They immediately took out their defence-type Magic Tools to block, or they slashed their swords in return.

Seven-coloured rays of light exploded in mid-air, and the overflowing violent Elemental Energy instantly spread and affected those below.

Ye Zhan’s brows furrowed when he saw this, then he took off a red jade pendant he wore and threw it above the elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans.

The red jade pendant suddenly grew numerous times larger, forming a powerful shield. The overflowing seven-coloured Elemental Energy rays of light fell on the pendant, but only made it shake a little, then the lights dispersed.

The elite pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans below all heaved a sigh of relief. If they were hit by the various seven-coloured rays of light, they would have to remain here forever.

“PU!!”

The result of the battle in mid-air came quickly. After the seven humans and two Demonic Beasts met the nine golden sword auras, they all, more or less, suffered internal injuries and couldn’t help spurting out a mouthful of blood.

“What?” The elite pupils below continued to fight the Demonic Beasts while observing the battle above.

But a scene that caused an uproar and made them dumbfounded occurred. The Elders in their Clans were actually all beaten back by that red-clothed devilish man with one slash and were even injured. This was simply inconceivable.

Everyone only had one thought in their minds at this time—just who was this man? What cultivation base? Simply too strong.

Lou Mu Yan couldn’t help revealing surprise in her eyes. She had known long ago that this man, Ming Xiu, was very strong, but she didn’t expect he’d be this strong.

However, when this guy was at Sword Monarch, he could already slay a Sword Sovereign. Now he was already at a Sword Sovereign cultivation base, plus, after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill and washing his marrow, wiping out same level Sword Sovereigns was naturally possible.

“Lou Mu Yan, do you know the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall?” Lan Si had always been observing Lou Mu Yan’s expression and when he saw her reveal a touch of understanding, he leapt up onto the ice pillar and asked with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan looked at him in confusion and asked instead: “Nine-Layer Hall?”

Hearing Lan Si’s tone, Ming Xiu should be the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall, but she had never heard of this name.

“The Nine-Layer Hall is a great entity on Tian’ling Continent, and also the real controller behind the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance. And that red-clothed man with a mask is the Hall Master of the Nine-Layer Hall.” Seeing Lou Mu Yan with a puzzled expression that didn’t seem to be fake, Lan Si didn’t hide anything.

Lou Mu Yan concealed her emotions and asked with a smile: “What’s his name?”

There were deep secrets hidden in Lan Si, and perhaps even his identity as an Academy Teacher was also fake. Being able to recognise Ming Xiu also meant that he must not be ordinary.

“Don’t know. Others all call him His Highness Monarch Ming.” Lan Si approached Lou Mu Yan and said with a meaningful smile, “What his name is, Lou Mu Yan, you should be very clear, right?”

“What makes you say so?” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow.

Lan Si’s tone was full of conviction, though half was to coax some more intel, while the other half was certainty. She sure was rather curious at how he knew that she knew Ming Xiu.

“That day during the auction, you offended a Sword Monarch. Wasn’t it he who came out to help you out?”

Lan Si also participated in that auction. Others only knew that Monarch Ming came out to maintain order for the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but he discovered that there was a very weak Mental Energy fluctuation transmitted from Monarch Ming to Lou Mu Yan at the time. Therefore he was certain that the two weren’t only acquainted, but also had a friendship.

There were no waves of emotion in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes, but she had to praise Lan Si in her heart—as expected from a fox. He sure was really observant, “So what if we’re acquainted, so what if we’re not?”

She neither denied she knew Ming Xiu, nor admitted in person. She’ll just keep this Fox Lan guessing by himself.

“Lou Mu Yan, you little fox.” Lan Si approached Lou Mu Yan’s ear and whispered intimately.

A nice voice entered Lou Mu Yan’s ear with a breath. She wasn’t used to being so close to other people, so she tapped her foot and leapt off the ice pillar, landing on the edge of the lava pool. This Fox Lan was clearly attempting to coax some secrets from her. As if she’d bother with him.

Seeing Lou Mu Yan’s rather helpless look, Lan Si suddenly felt that this woman was also quite cute and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Except he didn’t laugh long because not far away, a golden sword aura turned into an arc and slashed straight towards him from the air.

There was a coldness in Ming Xiu’s eyes. The man’s deliberate intimacy with the little woman earlier made him extremely unhappy. And now, he actually dared to approach and tease her. A killing intent exuded from him.

Lan Si narrowed his eyes slightly. With a touch of unnoticeable interest on his lips, he stretched out his longsword and swung it with all his strength before immediately leaping off the ice pillar.

[CRACK!] The two sword auras greeted each other, and Lan Si’s sword aura was quickly obliterated and dissipated while the golden sword aura split the ice pillar directly into several segments.

“Lou Mu Yan, Monarch Ming’s jealous, if you don’t act, Teacher will die.”
