My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant -
Chapter 74: Meet
The Glacial Mountain Range was located in the southeast of Glacial City. The entire mountain range undulated continuously, and no matter from which angle, there was no end to it, only a piece of white.
After reaching the entrance of the Glacial Mountain Range, everyone walked in.
“Lou Mu Yan, why did you wear white clothes today?” Lan Si knew that Lou Mu Yan usually wore all styles of light purple, so when she suddenly changed into white clothes today, it made her even more beautiful, with an elegant and refined temperament. He was secretly amazed.
Lou Mu Yan shrugged and said jokingly: “I don’t want to be a living target. Didn’t Teacher also change your clothes to light blue?”
“I also don’t want to be a living target.” Lan Si wasn’t fazed by her questioning him, and an elegant smile rose on his handsome face.
“Exactly.” Lou Mu Yan discovered that Lan Si was a fox that wore an elegant skin, plus was also extremely bored.
Along the way, from time to time, they encountered groups of Mercenaries or individual adventurers in the Glacial Mountain Range. But they just looked at each other and left separately. In such a dangerous place, everyone rarely spoke with unfamiliar people.
After walking for around more than two hours, they completely entered the periphery of the Glacial Mountain Range.
“The Glacial Mountain Range was the same as the other Treacherous Zones. They’re divided into the periphery, outer ring, the border between the outer ring and the inner ring, the inner ring, and the centre ring. With your cultivation base, you can only journey in the border between the outer ring and inner ring. You definitely mustn’t go deep into the inner ring and the centre ring, otherwise you’ll most likely not return, and be left with no corpse.”
Lan Si introduced the situation of the Glacial Mountain Range to everyone as they walked.
“The border between the outer ring and the inner ring mostly has Tier 5 Demonic Beasts, but from time to time, there’ll be higher-level Demonic Beast groups appearing. When you encounter them, the first thing to do is run. Don’t feel embarrassed by it, the most important thing is to save your life.
“And the inner ring of the Glacial Mountain Range is where even I don’t dare go deep. That’s Tier 6 Demonic Beast’s territory. The Kings of the Demonic Beasts occupy their own areas, and if someone accidentally breaks into their territory, then their end will definitely be miserable.”
Lan Si wore a joking smile on his lips, “Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can go try it. Take responsibility for the outcome yourself though.”
“Teacher, then which ring are we training in? The outer ring?” A student couldn’t help but ask.
Lan Si glanced at him and smiled, saying: “Do you think that’s possible? The Trial isn’t as simple as you think, so the place where you’ll participate in the Trial is the border between the outer ring and the inner ring.”
“But except for Upperclassman Lou, the strongest among is us only at Peak-Phase Sword Spirit. The border between the outer ring and the inner ring is where Tier 5 Demonic Beasts roam. If we encounter them, it’ll be difficult to run.” Another student said, concerned.
“Are you afraid of death?” Lan Si suddenly asked the people present before answering.
“Not afraid!” The eleven people said in unison, but their voices weren’t the same in firmness and magnitude.
Lan Si revealed a meaningful cordial smile, but what he said was like a knife, “Exactly. This Trial isn’t an ordinary training experience organised by the Academy. You could lose your little life at any time, so you really must be careful. You need to make keeping yourselves alive the main thing at any moment.
“If you emerge above the rest this time, when you participate in the Tournament for Hegemony, you’ll still face danger, and even death, at any time. This is the path of the strong.” Then Lan Si’s tone switched, and he put away his smile, replacing it with an unprecedented seriousness, “Of course, if some of you are afraid of encountering danger and the fact that you’d die without even a burial, then you can still withdraw now.”
Hearing this, a few people turned pale and displayed their struggles on their face. In the end, the huge benefits behind the Trial led them to decide not to withdraw.
“Very well. Since you’ve all chosen to take the risks, then show me what the Academy students should look like. Don’t besmirch the Academy.” Lan Si changed from his usual gentleness to a very stern expression.
“Yes!” Everyone promised.
After that, Lan Si cautioned the students about what things to pay attention to in the Glacial Mountain Range, then led them quickly in their journey.
After around half a day, according to the hour, it should be night-time, but the Glacial Mountain Range was still as bright as day. There wasn’t any difference between day and night in the Glacial Mountain Range, only endless days, and one had to judge the time by themselves.
When everyone arrived at the foot of a low-lying snow-capped mountain, Lan Si took out a bamboo piece, placed it in his mouth and blew it. Several sweet but not too loud sounds echoed around the open mountain.
Not long after, the same sound rang from halfway up the mountain. Lan Si waved his hand and led everyone up.
When they reached the middle of the mountain, they found that there was a huge hidden cave here. After entering the cave, they discovered that it was rather unique within.
There was a stone door deep in the cave, and after entering the stone door, one could see that there was a nicely arranged hall. In the innermost side of the hall, there was another closed wooden door.
There were around a dozen people sitting in the hall at this time, including an elderly man with white hair in plain clothes that sat in the main seat.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed a touch of understanding. This white-haired old man was Imperial Teacher Yun Cang of Yan’zhou Kingdom. To get him to lead the Trial, it could be seen that the Trial in the Glacial Mountain Range was highly valued by the superiors of Yan’zhou Kingdom.
“Greetings to Imperial Teacher.” Lan Si and the other three instructors walked in front of Yun Cang and greeted respectfully.
Upon seeing this, Lou Mu Yan and the others also stepped forward to perform their formalities to Yun Cang.
“Sit down.” Yun Cang pointed to more than a dozen vacant seats that had been prepared on the other side.
“Yes!”
After Lou Mu Yan sat down, she observed the Imperial Family and distinguished clan’s Trial team and discovered that there were twelve of them. Among them were many faces she had never seen before, and their strength was far stronger than the students of the Empire Academy.
Among all the people present here, her strength was the weakest, at Peak-Phase Great Sword Master cultivation base. She was definitely at the bottom. Of course, in terms of combat power, she believed she wouldn’t lose to any of those here who participated in the Trial.
While they were observing the Imperial Trial team, they were also observing them.
When they saw Lou Mu Yan, several people who hadn’t seen her before, not to mention her battle at the Empire Academy, revealed some surprise. Some even revealed contempt and incomprehension.
“Imperial Teacher, I never knew that in such a dangerous Trial held in the Glacial Mountain Range, a Great Sword Master cultivation base person was allowed to participate?” A handsome man in a white brocade robe said coldly from the Imperial Family Trial Team.
Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows lightly. As soon as she raised her head, she met the opponent’s ice-cold eyes.
In that person’s eyes, there wasn’t any contempt, nor hostility, nor disgust towards her, only a calmness as if he were stating facts.
Yun Zi Mo—this name immediately popped up in Lou Mu Yan’s mind.
He was the younger brother of Emperor Yun Tian Chen from the same mother, but he was only three years older than Yun Lan. He and Lou Mu Bai were once considered the dual pride of Yan’zhou Kingdom. They were both peerless geniuses of the Empire and were the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Empire.
Yun Zi Mo went out to train five years ago and had never returned to the Imperial Capital since. Presumably, he came back this time for the Trial quota. This man had a cold temperament and was dedicated to pursuing the pinnacle of the Path of the Sword. When he was ten years old, he became famous in the Eastern Region, and was even comparable to the outstanding pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans.
Although she hadn’t seen Yun Zi Mo himself, but Lou Mu Yan concluded at a glance that this man was the person in the legends that had been praised so highly of.
