My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

The shrill screams echoed continuously in the forest.

Several members of the Gale Mercenary Party’s expressions changed when they heard the voice.

Old Xiong listened carefully, and his eyes widened as he said: “It sounds like the cry of a member of the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party.”

The Mad Wolf Mercenary Party, like their Gale Mercenary Party, was a rank 4 mercenary party and they often encountered each other during missions.

Although there were occasional conflicts of interest, but the two parties didn’t have many disputes, and on the contrary, sometimes helped each other, also establishing some friendships.

“Let’s go take a look.” Bu Zhan furrowed his brows and said.

If the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party was in danger, then they couldn’t just sit idly by.

“Mm.”

Others agreed one after another. The last time they encountered a crisis while completing a mission, they were able to escape with the help of the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party, so they couldn’t watch them die this time.

Lou Mu Yan’s expression was calm and unwavering, and she followed the group of people, quickly rushing in that direction.

Although she also went to the Mercenary Union to accept missions when she first arrived on Tian’ling Continent, but she went with the employer—that is, Ye Qing Han—to Blazing Mountain Range, and couldn’t experience the real mercenary party at all.

Although she hadn’t been with the Gale Mercenary Party for long, but she felt the team atmosphere and the straight forwardness of the mercenaries.

She discovered that she gradually fell in love with such a team atmosphere.

Now that she knew that the source of the shrill screams belonged to people of the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party that the Gale Mercenary Party knew, and how they all rushed towards the dangerous place without hesitation, it made the plan in her heart grow more certain.

She may be able to form her own mercenary party; a mercenary party that would become a rank 9 mercenary party in the future, a mercenary party that would make even the forces of the Ming Palace afraid.

Soon, the group arrived at the source of the scream.

In the dense forest, one saw vines of five colours constantly stretching and entangling, dragging three men and a woman in the air. They had no strength to resist at all.

There were more than a dozen bloody and bone-covered corpses tossed aside.

“What? Th-This is the Five-Coloured Demonic Vine.”

The group of people rushed over and witnessed this tragic situation. What shocked them even more was the thing that was entangling the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party was actually the Five-Coloured Demonic Vine that even made the expressions of mercenaries change.

“AHH!!” Five-coloured vines entangled several people even more tightly, making them unable to help but let out screams that sounded close to suffocation.

The expressions on the faces of the Gale Mercenary Party changed, but a gleam appeared in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes.

Who knew that there was actually the Five-Coloured Vine in Qing’yuan Forest. This kind of demonic plant was extremely vicious. It liked to devour human flesh and blood, but it hated bones. It was actually extremely rare to meet.

So as long as there were five-coloured vines growing, there would absolutely be all kinds of bones of humans or demonic beasts.

Although the Five-Coloured Vine could make many people tremble, but a kind of fresh and sweet-tasting five-coloured spiritual fruit would grow from the roots. It could not only temper the body but could also be used to refine pills and brew spiritual wine.

Maybe for others, the Five-Coloured Vine was a nightmare, but to Lou Mu Yan, they were a sparkling spiritual creature.

The spiritual wine brewed from the five-coloured spiritual fruits could not only temper the body, purify elemental energy and enhance cultivation base, but it also had an extremely sweet and mellow taste, which Lou Mu Yan liked very much.

She actually pitied that there were no Five-Coloured Vines on Tian’ling Continent—who knew that she’d actually meet it here.

“Boss, what do we do?” Feng One looked vigilantly at the five-coloured vines that surrounded them, feeling extremely bitter inwardly.

Originally, they wanted to save the members of the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party, but who knew that they’d also soon face what the Mad Wolf Mercenary experienced before.

“Kill!” Bu Zhan was fearless in the face of danger, and his nonchalant arrogance naturally subsided as a sense of killing intent rose on his body.

Immediately, the fire bird on his shoulder let out a cry, transformed into a huge Fire Luan bird, opened its mouth, and red flames erupted, burning all the five-coloured vines wrapped around.

The other Gale Mercenary Party members that possessed the fire elemental energy also headed out one after another, and groups of flames shot out.

A pure red longsword appeared in Bu Zhan’s hand. He stared at the several people who were surrounded by the five-coloured vines not far away and slashed in that direction with the sword.

A beam of red light annihilated the five-coloured vines that bound the members of the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party. After they were rescued, they hurried towards the Gale Mercenary Party regardless of their injuries.

But everyone underestimated the strength of the Five-Coloured Demonic Vine.

“You damned humans, you actually disturbed my slumber. You’ll all become this King’s fertiliser.” A sharp and coercive voice enveloped the surroundings.

Suddenly, the Five-Coloured Demonic Vine burst out with five-coloured light, and the five-coloured vines regrew one by one.

“Heavens! This is actually a Middle-Phase Tier 9 Demonic Plant.” Feng Two screamed out.

The highest cultivation level here belonged to Bu Zhan, the head of the party, and Zhan Kuang, the leader of the Mad Wolf Mercenary Party, both of whom were at the Peak-Phase Sword Venerable.

But if it were against the Five-Coloured Demonic Vine, whose strength was comparable to that of a human Late-Phase Sword Saint Sword Master, there was no room for resistance at all.

It was very difficult for demonic plants to advance, and the cohesion of strength was much stronger than that of human Sword Masters, so at the same level, its strength was capable of fighting Sword Masters at the next level.

For example, this five-coloured demonic plant was at Middle-Phase Tier 9, but it could fight against powerhouses of Late-Phase Sword Saint and even Peak-Phase.

“Boss, what do we do now?” Feng Five quickly took out a set of array tools and began to set up an array.

An initial-level grade 5 defensive array was quickly formed, and a layer of earth-yellow light shield enveloped everyone in it.

Five-coloured vines continued to grow, then enveloped the entire barrier, slamming against it one after another.

Except for Lou Mu Yan, the expressions of the entire group changed drastically. A grade 5 defence-type array couldn’t last long at all.

“Bu Zhan, sorry for dragging you all down this time.” Zhan Kuang was covered in bloody holes pierced by vines all over his body with a look of despair on his face.

Their Mad Wolf Mercenary Party was now completely destroyed, and now the Gale Mercenary Party that rescued them was also involved, which made him very apologetic.

Bu Zhan patted him on the shoulder and said with a wry smile: “Don’t worry bother, big deal, it’s just death, eighteen years later we’ll be another true man1.”

This road was the only way leading to the deepest core of Qing’yuan Forest, and they would’ve eventually encountered this five-coloured demonic plant that had been ambushing here for a long time.

Zhan Kuang and the others sighed. When facing such a powerful demonic plant, they didn’t have the strength to resist in the face of absolute power.

[CRACK!] In just a few breaths, the light cover of the defensive array immediately collapsed with a few crisp sounds.

Strips of five-coloured vines stretched excitedly towards the people in the array, because they were about to become its food.

The Fire Luan was also whipped by the main vine of the Five-Coloured Demonic Vine and fell beside them.

Just as everyone was shrouded in the shadow of death, waiting for death in despair, a clear and melodious female’s voice sounded.

“Bing Ji, it’s fine for the hero to save the beauty.

1I believe it’s a casual reference to reincarnation and after eighteen years they’d have grown into men again. It doesn’t mean anything deep, it’s just words said in consolation and stuff.
