My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant - Chapter 896: Still Someone Behind Them

Unedited, but should be more readable than my other unedited ones… hahaha Will edit asap.

Hearing what the elderly man in black said, everyone present couldn’t help but be taken aback.

The former Devil Lord Jun Luo Chen had always been a taboo topic in the Devil Capital’s palace, and there were many rumours about his death.

Among them, the most vicious rumour in private was that the current Devil Lord Jun Luo You framed and killed him and forcibly took the position of Devil Lord.

The green-haired elderly man tapped the table lightly and said: “Isn’t that a little unreasonable. After all, if the Devil Lord killed Jun Luo Chen, then why would he self-torture and burn himself with the Yin Hellfire. Could it be for cultivation?”

“It’s impossible, imprisoning and burning the main soul, you’d have to endure the sinister flames burning and roasting your soul all day long. Not to mention cultivation, it’d already be pretty good to be able to keep conscious everyday.” The elderly man in black shook his head.

The green-haired elderly man pondered, then said: “That’s true, if you can cultivate using that supreme treasure, then it wouldn’t be used to deal with enemies.”

“You should all know that Jun Luo You was raised by Jun Luo Chen right?” The Third Holy Maiden said leisurely.

The elderly man nodded and said: “Everyone in the palace knows that Jun Luo Chen killed himself by raising an ingrate by his side. Although there’s no evidence, but many reports point to Jun Luo You as the murderer.

“That’s why there were many elders in our race who lived as a hermit, no longer concerning themselves about worldly affairs because of this incident. In fact, they secretly didn’t recognise Jun Luo You’s position as Devil Lord.”

Jun Luo Chen was open and upright by nature. Although he didn’t expand territories in those years when he ruled the Devil Realm, but the Devil Realm had grown stronger and stronger, and he treated his own people rather gentle and cared for them. Many old people in the palace respected that Devil Lord even now.

Meanwhile Jun Luo You was sinister, cunning, cruel, and ruthless by nature. Although the Devil Realm had grown a lot over the years and expanded its territory over the years, but too many people had died in his hands as well, and the most shocking incident was the ‘bloody massacre in the palace’.

“Exactly, when Jun Luo You came to power, he massacred the bloodline left behind by the former emperor. In the end, only six of the more than twenty princes and princesses survived, and three of them had already been turned to waste. Such a thing is appalling. We couldn’t do anything about him before, but we can use this to make a big fuss now.” The green-haired elderly man smiled sinisterly.

The Third Holy Maiden said with a gentle smile: “I secretly found out that Jun Luo You regretted Jun Luo Chen’s death, so he punished himself by imprisoning his main soul in the Yin Hellfire, although whether he regretted it or not is secondary, however if the news of him killing his elder brother who raised him with his own hands spread, his reputation in he Devil realm will be directly crushed to dust.”

“Haha, besides being cruel, Jun Luo You doesn’t have any reputation.” The middle-aged man also laughed, “The Third Holy Maiden is the recognised as the most easy-going and talented woman in our Devil Realm, and is most worthy of the position of he Devil Lord.”

“Yes, after Jun Luo You is put to death, the Third Holy Maiden will be the Devil Lord.” The black-clothed elderly man stroked his beard and said with a smile.

The green-haired elderly man and the others also agreed, “The Third Holy Maiden will surely lead the demons to glory after succeeding the position of Devil Lord.”

The eyes of the Third Holy Maiden was filled with ambition, and she chuckled: “Since everyone thinks so highly of me, then I will definitely live up to everyone’s high expectations.”

The group sat in the hall, filled with smiles, but Jun Luo You’s face was extremely gloomy.

He was furious. His murder of Jun Luo Chen was once listed as taboo. These people actually dared to use his eldest brother to create chaos. He had already given these people a sentence in his heart—and it was the kind of punishment where they wouldn’t be able to successfully beg to live nor die.

Jun Luo Chen’s expression wasn’t good either. It wasn’t up to these people to speak out about the matter between him and Jun Luo You.

Shen Mu Feng’s expression was filled with resentment, but his heart was filled with joy. The Third Holy Maiden and the party was truly looking for death, specifically stepping on the Devil Lord’s baseline.

He could see now—the most previous thing that the Devil Lord cared about was Jun Luo Chen, and now these people actually wanted to make a fuss using the issue that was the most taboo for the Devil Lord. It could be said that long as they did nothing, they wouldn’t die.

This time, there was no need for him to add uel to the match—these people’s endings would definitely be bad.

Seeing that Jun Luo You was about to reveal himself, Ming Xiu immediately raise dhis hand to stop him, “Wait a bit longer, I just feel that things arne’t that simple.”

“What do you mean?” Jun Luo You was usually very shrewd except in front of Jun Luo Chen where he would become a fool.

“I suspect that there’s someone behind the Third Holy Maiden.” Ming Xiu furrowed his brows slightly and said: “I caught a subtle spell from her.”

“You mean that she might be controlled?” Jun Luo You took a step back and asked.

Ming Xiu nodded: “It’s possible, so don’t act rashly for now.”

“Alright, this Highness will believe in you this once.” Jun Luo You’s eyes were cloudy, and he eventually decided to believe in Ming Xiu.

He still rather admired Ming Xiu—be it in terms of intelligence or talent, Ming Xiu was the most outstanding person he had ever met.

He had already made arrangements for the imprisonment of the Third Holy Maiden and her party, and at most, he’d just postpone the execution.

He sure wanted to see who was behind this.

Lou Mu Yan had fought against he Third Holy Maiden several times, and she also felt that this woman should have ambition, but she didn’t have the courage to seize the throne. Ming Xiu’s words made sense.

Because of Ming Xiu’s discovery, the people who were originally going to take action temporarily endured it.

The Third Holy Maiden and her party formulated a plan against Jun Luo You before dispersing.

When only the Third Holy Maiden was left in the secret room, Lou Mu Yan and the others kept observing secretly.

The Third Holy Maiden first took out a file to look through, and after about two hours, she stood up and pressed a switch in the secret room.

Then the door of the secret room was slammed shut, and a restriction was formed. Not only could people outside not enter, but they also couldn’t spy on what the people inside were doing.

Lou Mu Yan and the others looked at each other—the show was about to start. It seemed that they were right to hide in the secret room and not take any action.

After a long while, the Third Holy Maiden took out a special crystal ball and stood up to activate it.

Soon, the crystal ball emitted a strong light, and a figure was reflected on the crystal wall in the secret room through the crystal ball.

“This servant greets Master.” The Third Holy Maiden respectfully saluted the person in the crystal wall.

The person on the crystal wall was originally standing with her back facing them. Hearing what the Third Holy Maiden said, she turned around leisurely and said in a cold voice: “No need.”

And when Lou Mu Yan and the others saw the person turning around on the crystal wall, their eyes revealed deep shock.

“How is the plan going?” The person on the crystal wall asked.

The Third Holy Maiden discussed the matter about targeting Jun Luo You at the meeting just now, “I believe that as long as the rumours spread, Jun Luo You’s reputation that was already bad would be completely ruined, and even if we cut him into thousands of pieces, there won’t be many voices of opposition.”

“Mm, get rid of Jun Luo You as soon as possible. You have to inherit the position of Devil Lord within a year.” The person on the crystal wall said.

“This servant obeys!” The eyes of the Third Holy Maiden was somewhat fierce.

The position of the Devil Lord was something she had never even dared to think about, so she must grasp such an opportunity well.
