Chapter 336: Annexation of the Seven Kingdoms

After the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms heard that all the elite troops they had arranged in the North, South, East and West were all wiped out by Yan’zhou reinforcements from superpower kingdoms, their hearts were as if it were cut by a knife, and they couldn’t help trembling.

All their eyes turned to the National Teacher of Po’luo and Lou Mu Yan who were fighting in mid-air.

When they heard ‘Yan Jun’, ‘Luo Li’ and such names, they immediately knew that these reinforcements were called by Lou Mu Yan and had nothing to do with Yan’zhou Kingdom.
When the National Teacher killed her, they might still have room to turn the situation around.

After all, there was no need for the proud children of Heaven from superpower kingdoms to intervene in the wars of several small kingdoms.

Lou Mu Yan and the black-clothed man fought together, yet who knew that after only a few dozen rounds, the black-clothed man turned his head and fled towards the woods in the north.

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes, knowing there was a trap, but still chased after him.

Today, all the rats in the gutter must be removed, otherwise she would be too worried about the Lou Clan after going to the Sect.

As soon as she entered the forest, the whole scenery suddenly changed.

A gorgeous woman in white stood on a high mountain, the gentle wind brushed past her cheeks, her long black hair fluttered with the breeze, and she was filled with youth.

Immediately, she took out her longsword and danced on the top of the mountain.
Not long after, a white-haired elderly man suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, watching her dance with her sword with a gentle, loving expression.

Lou Mu Yan’s pupils constricted, and there was a sense of sadness and desolation in her heart.
The white-clothed woman in the scene was precisely her in her previous life, and the elderly man with white hair was the Master who took care of her for numerous years and whom passed down his legacy to her.

And as she was immersed in the painting of the scene, eight men in black suddenly appeared in the surrounding woods quietly.

They held a piece of black jade each and embedded it into the ground.
Then the National Teacher flashed out, spat out blood essence on a black jade, and buried it in the ground as well.

In an instant, thick black mist emerged from the entire mountain forest and the black jades in the ground formed a Nine Palace force.

The pendant on Lou Mu Yan’s neck moved, and the Soul shrouded in black mist stood up.

“Lou Mu Yan, they arranged a Nine Palace Killing Array, but you still have time to leisurely play the game of cat catch mouse?” His voice came out leisurely.

A sneer rose on Lou Mu Yan’s lips and her originally dull eyes grew very clear, “I originally wanted to spend more time playing with them, but now that you’ve said it, I’ve lost interest.”

As soon as she stepped into this place, she discovered it was an Illusion Array.
She was indeed touched as she watched her past self and her Master, but she immediately curbed her emotions.
She just wanted to see what the so-called National Teacher would do.

“They added a strong devilish energy to this formation.
Aren’t you afraid you’ll be demonised?”

Lou Mu Yan smiled indifferently: “With just this incomplete Nine Palace Killing Array and they want to demonise me? I don’t know if you think too highly of them or too little of me.

“Let’s hear the purpose of your sudden appearance.” She didn’t believe that this sinister and cunning man would come out and speak at this time.

“That Devil Cultivator is a huge supplement for me.
I want him.” The man didn’t hide it either, and went straight to the point.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: “Why? What will you exchange for it? Don’t forget, they’re currently my prey.”

The man gritted his teeth—this cunning woman.
After a moment of silence, he said: “You can raise a condition.”

As long as the souls of these nine people were devoured and refined, his unstable Soul could be condensed.

“I want to know your true details.” Lou Mu Yan’s tone was sharp.

Towards this Devil Cultivator Ghost of an unknown origin, she still planned to investigate his details properly before deciding how to cooperate with him.
After all, this was an unstable factor that could explode at any time.

The other party was silent for a bit, “Alright!”

If Lou Mu Yan was a person worthy of continual cooperation, then it didn’t matter if he revealed his true identity.
After all, he didn’t feel any disgust for Devil Cultivators from her.

What he maintained right now was the main Soul of the three Souls, and the Seven Spirits were also in the original body’s Soul1, but to find and fuse the other two Souls, he still needed the help of Lou Mu Yan’s external force.

“But you must swear by your heart demon before you explain.” Lou Mu Yan emphasised.

The corner of the man’s lips twitched.
He just knew that this woman wasn’t that easy to fool and said angrily: “Alright.
Can I swallow them now?”

Lou Mu Yan nodded this time: “Go.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a black smoke come out of the pendant around her neck and when it swept across, not only was the demonic aura within the Nine Palace Killing Array completely absorbed, it even swept away the nine people who couldn’t escape in time into the black fog.

The devilish energy in the Array disappeared, but the Array still remained.
As a Great Array Master, Lou Mu Yan found the flaw of the Array at only a glance.
As soon as her golden sword appeared, the Array was broken.

Then the black mist turned into a puff of black smoke and entered the pendant.
Lou Mu Yan thought a bit, then said: “When you refine it, include their memories.
I want to know why they attacked Yan’zhou Kingdom.”

The National Teacher’s cultivation base was already at Sword Sovereign, and he was a Devil Cultivator that most Sword Masters on Tian’ling Continent wanted dead.
He mustn’t have instigated the Seven Kingdoms to attack Yan’zhou Kingdom for reasons such as dominating secular kingdoms.
Maybe there was something in Yan’zhou Kingdom they must occupy.

“Alright!”

After Lou Mu Yan broke the Array, she returned to the battlefield.
At this time, Luo Li and the others had already captured the fleeing Seven Kingdom’s monarchs alive.

“Mu Yan.” Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she had returned safely.

Lou Mu Yan thanked Luo Li, Yan Jun, He’lian Lie, Ji Xuan, Ye Qing Han, and Mo Ling with a warm expression.

After the war, she only asked Si Nan to help, but didn’t tell these several people.
They all came to help the war consciously after receiving the news that Yan’zhou Kingdom had been invaded.

And the reason why Luo Li and the others came so quickly was also because of the Teleportation Array she had arranged.
In addition, because of their support and the backing of the superpower kingdoms, the war quickly ended.

The surrounding Seven Kingdoms Alliance was not only completely disbanded, but also taken over by Yan’zhou Kingdom, and they consciously delivered themselves to be annexed by Yan’zhou and expand its strength.

Because of the interference of the several superpower kingdoms, the other small and medium-sized kingdoms didn’t dare to object at all.
They didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of the seven kingdoms.

Most importantly, there was a Lou Mu Yan in Yan’zhou Kingdom who had a good relationship with the Imperial Families of superpower kingdoms or with elite pupils heavily prized by distinguished clans.
They didn’t dare to have anymore delusions.
Instead, they silently prayed that Yan’zhou Kingdom better not have ideas for them, so they sent messengers to congratulate.

Of course, this was all what happened later.

The fact that Luo Li and the others came to support the war also made many people who belittled Lou Mu Yan put out their arrogance, and she also successfully entered the attention of several major forces.

As soon as the war was over, Luo Li and the others left without delay.
After all, it was almost time to enter their Sects and they still needed to go back and prepare.

Lou Mu Yan also didn’t say many words of gratitude.
She always liked to keep favours or grudges in her heart—repaying those that should be repaid and kill those that should be killed.

Before they left, she stuffed each of them many Grade 3 pills as repayment, and Luo Li and the others also didn’t refuse.

Although they didn’t think about wanting her to repay them when they came, but they wouldn’t give up her kindness either.
Not to mention, the pills she gave them were indeed treasures that they couldn’t buy even with Spiritual Stones.

1so in Taoism, or Daoism (what I’ve been translating as ‘the Path’ or ‘the Great Path’ but realised maybe I could’ve just stuck with Daoism but whatever), it is believed the Soul is made up of 3 main souls and 7 spirits, the 3 ‘hun’ and 7 ‘po’, which make up the 魂魄  ‘hun po’ (also translated as ‘Soul’).
