After listening to the words of the Elder of the Eight Extremes Sect, the Elders of the other Sects also had a realisation.
At this time, all the people present no longer underestimated Lou Mu Yan. This girl was so young but was actually so intelligent and mature. It was extremely rare among the younger generation and was indeed worth raising.
The Elder of the Medicine Sect looked at Lou Mu Yan with even fierier eyes. Although she used an Array to control those seeds, but she definitely grew them with the wood attribute Elemental Energy. If she showed the talent of fire attribute Elemental Energy, then she must be an Alchemist.
“She moved.” The Elder of the Sword Sect said with interest.
The attention of the others was all on the crystal wall again.
Lou Mu Yan controlled the grown tree seeds to surround the man. The tree seeds moved in the soil and the branches whipped the man like sharp weapons.
He mobilised the Elemental Energy in his body to gather in his longsword and yellowish-brown sword auras slashed down one after the other, but they were all blocked by the branches and vines.
For some reason, the sword aura couldn’t hurt these trees at all, as if they were innately inhibited.
“Just what did you do?” Che Jin looked at Lou Mu Yan angrily.
Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled up, “Haven’t you ever heard of the principal of Five Elements Mutual Inhibition and Enhancement? I’ll explain to you using facts about the law that wood inhibits earth, and you’ll be able to die peacefully down in the Nine Springs1.”
Her voice was clear and beautiful, pouring out slowly, but the words she uttered made one chill irresistibly.
“Die!” Lou Mu Yan returned Che Jin’s words back to him.
And no one noticed that a few vines appeared on the branches and leaves of the Heaven-reaching trees, accompanying the dancing branches, bounding Che Jin that had failed to dodge.
Che Jin’s eyes revealed some madness. Elemental Energy poured out from his dan’tian, and he was ready to use his strongest trump card.
“Xue Xue, hurry up, he’s going to use his trump card.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were indifferent as she telepathically said to the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King.
Xue was just waiting for those words. This man dared to birth the desire of killing his Owner. Then he’d suck his blood little by little, and let him die in fear.
The dark thorns in the vines quickly stabbed into Che Jin’s body and the paralysing venom instantly spread all over his body, causing his wildly surging Elemental Energy to suddenly stop.
For the first time, there was panic in his eyes, and he wanted to shout to Yi Zhao and the others, but found that he couldn’t even speak.
Then his pupils constricted and the blood essence from his body was lost little by little, all of which was absorbed by the plant that bound him. An infinite fear was born in his heart and an aura of death enveloped him.
In just a moment, Che Jin’s eyes changed from panic to fear and finally to despair.
When the last drop of blood essence in his body was sucked dry, his eyes were wide open, an expression mixed with fear and disbelief, dying completely without an aura left.
Lou Mu Yan glanced coldly at the shrivelled corpse. She naturally had no mercy for people who wanted to kill her.
She waved her hand and the Heaven-reaching trees withered and fell, finally turning into a few bright yellow seeds that fell back into her hands.
No one noticed that one of the seeds was glowing with golden light.
Xue was a Tier 6 Demonic Plant. Although he couldn’t change shape, but he still had the means of camouflage. It was still very easy for him to change his golden vines to green and use the cover of the Heaven-reaching trees. None of the Sword Masters present discovered his existence.
This was also one of the reasons why Lou Mu Yan used the Wood Growth Array she had raised for a long time to kill Che Jin.
The blood essence of a human Sword Master was purer than that of a Demonic Beast and would be more beneficial to Xue Xue when absorbed. Since they were enemies that would not stop until one was dead, then naturally he should make a contribution and serve as nourishment for her Demonic Plant.
She would never bully the weak and kill unrelated lives at will, but if others dared to take the initiative to have ideas about her, and acted with killing intent, then she would definitely never make them feel good.
Seeing that after Che Jin was surrounded by a few huge trees, there was only a shrivelled corpse left behind, Yi Zhao and the others revealed disbelief.
How—How was this possible? Che Jin was at Middle-Phase Sword Monarch strength, and he usually killed no less than a few thousand people. He had very rich combat experience, so how could he be killed by a woman who was only at Peak-Phase Sword King?
The Sword Masters on the city wall also revealed a look as if they had seen a ghost. Just like this, the situation was reversed? What kind of skill did that woman use? It was actually this powerful.
“Demon woman2, what have you done?” Yi Zhao turned to look at Lou Mu Yan sternly while fighting against Yun Zi Mo.
Lou Mu Yan raised her brows. This was the first time someone actually called her ‘Demon Woman’. And that title didn’t seem so bad.
“Wouldn’t you know if you personally come to experience it yourself?” She didn’t plan on letting these people go at all.
The invasive gaze that Yi Zhao looked at her with and the greed in those eyes, she saw it clearly. He probably also aimed at her footwork and her body refining method.
It was normal for people to be greedy, but they’d be out of luck to have ideas about her things.
She tossed the seeds that hadn’t yet been put away in her palm forward and after they landed, she used the wood attribute Spiritual Energy to grow them. In an instant, Heaven-reaching huge trees emerged all around Yi Zhao one after another, their branches swaying ceaselessly.
Yi Zhao’s eyes revealed some contemplation, then he quickly retreated, but the big trees continued to follow as if alive.
Remembering what Lou Mu Yan said about the Five Element Mutual Inhibition Law, his eyes suddenly lit up and a sinister smile appeared.
“You killed Che Jin just now with the law of wood inhibiting earth, then I will let your trees taste the effect of metal attribute restraint.” Yi Zhao let out a laugh, and a red-gold token flew out of his hand.
The palm-sized token suddenly grew larger in mid-air and traces of metal attribute emanated from it. The surrounding trees that were originally moving suddenly trembled slightly and their roots that were deeply embedded into the soil could no longer move.
Seeing that Yi Zhao suppressed Lou Mu Yan’s skill, the other four heaved a sigh of relief. The sudden death of Che Jin just now gave them an unprecedented sense of fear.
“Your Royal Highness, tear her body into thousands of pieces to avenge Che Jin.” A big man who usually had a good relationship with Che Jin shouted.
The person he fought against was Lou Mu Bai and his indifferent eyes were filled with chills, “Go and accompany him.”
Little Sister was his scale on a dragon that no one should touch3, and once touched, they must die!
After speaking, a palm-sized blood person escaped from his hand and instantly turned into a blood giant several feet tall, filled with a sense of oppression.
The big man with strength of a Middle-Phase Sword Monarch was taken aback by this sudden blood giant. He didn’t expect that this handsome, mild man could actually use the Blood Temple Skill4 that had been lost for thousands of years.
The blood giant’s eyes were dark, like an endless void that could suck people in. After the big man met his eyes, he was dazed for a few breaths of time.
The last thing one should do during a battle was to be distracted, so in those few breaths of time, a huge bloody hand with the power of destroying the Heavens and earth slapped down heavily and instantly smacked the big man into the ground, his body deformed, and vomiting blood.
And no one saw that a golden vine slipped out from under where the big man laid and stabbed directly into his heart. Blood was lost little by little and his aura of life also gradually disappeared.
When the last drop of blood essence in his body was sucked dry, the vine retracted into the ground with satisfaction, as if it had never appeared before.
Meanwhile, such a scene instantly stunned everyone present.

1Nine Springs refers to the netherworld, basically death. There’s probably a story behind it why it’s the ‘nine springs’, but not bothered searching it up haha.
2literally ‘Demon Woman’, it can also be taken to mean ‘beautiful/seductive woman’ but in this case, he’s calling her a monster/demon for performing what he probably thinks is witchcraft HAHA Since what she did was just so unbelievable.
3it’s ‘逆鳞’ (nì lín) which just means ‘reversed scale’ or a scale that grew incorrectly. Figuratively, it’s a scale on a dragon one cannot touch. It’s also used to describe a person’s weak point (like how LMY is like LMB’s weak point), but not necessarily used with a negative connotation, and instead, in a more ‘you touch, you die’ sense hahaha. Like someone touched your nerves. It’s usually used in circumstances like Lou Mu Bai’s, and usually as a threat.
4‘血刹术’ (xuè chà shù) The ‘cha’, when pronounced ‘sha’ literally translates to ‘brake’ like, brake on a car. But I am PRETTY SURE it is meant to be pronounced ‘cha’ here which has to do, with, like a Buddhist temple or shrine or something. Well, that’ll be the set translation for now hahaha
