Towards what had been done, it was already common practice by the various palaces as compared to the interests of an entire palace, so what if several hundred or a thousand people died?
Even if it was a loyal and devoted disciple, it did not mean they were indispensible.
It was sort of like an unspoken consensus among the Twelve Palaces, towards that massacre in cold blood, it was only looked upon like a joke back at that time.
Nobody would have thought that that very debt owed in blood would still continue till today. Those children who had survived, were now grown up, and had come for revenge!
“Damn it! So everything was stirred up by the lot of you!” The Green Tide Palace Lord immediately jumped out. As things stand now, how could he possibly not understand that all the turmoil that had rocked the Twelve Palaces over the recent period was incited by this bunch of vengeful youths? In order to exact their revenge, they had dragged everyone in the Twelve Palaces into it.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord’s face was dark, and he did not say a word.
Gu Yi arched up an eyebrow. Things have progressed to a point beyond anything he could have expected, the truth just too unbelievable.
“Everything that happened had stemmed from the things that you did before. After this matter is resolved, I think the palaces involved in it owes us an explanation.” Gu Yi said coldly. He did not care about the fact Fei Yan and his friends had come seeking revenge. From his point of view, although the bunch of youths were rare talents with extraordinary gift, they had been too anxious. They had gained just a little bit of accomplishment, their wings had not yet grown strong enough, still completely unable to go against the Flame Demons Palace and the other palaces at all. Although their appearance here today had been shocking, and the turmoil they had incited had indeed been frustrating, but they would not be able to achieve the result they seek in the end.
Their young age, had doomed them to failure.
“Ha, your words are just so interesting. It seems the ones who were incited was not just us, haven’t all of you fallen for their tricks as well?” The Soul Return Palace Lord said with a sneer.
“These kids came here to court their own deaths, I will naturally not let them off. We will need to find another time to discuss about the conflicts between the respective palaces as now, it’s now crucial we first deal with this bunch of little brats.” The Dark Heavens Palace Lord said as he rotated his wrists while walking himself forward, his eyes looking coldly at Rong Ruo gaugingly.
“I do not regret what I did back then in the slightest. So what if I killed your father and your entire family? What do you think you can get back from me? Rong Ruo, I saw that the dual souls you were born with remains intact and I had truly wanted to groom you. But since you insist to cling on so tightly to the past, I do not need to leave you any face. I am standing right here today, and if you seek to collect on the debt in blood for your parents, you can come try as you wish. You managed to escape back then but I will be the good guy today, to send you into the afterworld to join your useless parents!”
The Soul Return Palace Lord’s words were harsh on the ears, and Fei Yan who heard those words felt a fiery rage surge up in his heart, all prepared to go teach this scoundrel who would slander a deceased person a good lesson.

Chapter 1919: “Explosive Face Slap (11)”
Rong Ruo suddenly raised a hand to stop Fei Yan in his tracks. With her back facing Fei Yan, she stood pencil straight, and her voice that had always been gentle turned oppressive and chilling.
“I’ll do it myself.”
Fei Yan hesitated a moment, but took a step back in the end.
There were some things that could not be done by others.
Rong Ruo stared at the Soul Return Palace Lord, as she pulled out an elixir from her waist. When Qiao Chu and the others saw the elixir, their eyes quivered slightly as the scene just before they came to the summit’s venue suddenly appeared in their minds.
Moments just before Jun Wu Xie came to the summit, she had gathered Qiao Chu and the gang, and gave them each an elixir.
Spirit Transformation Elixir!
A type of an elixir that could elevate one’s spirit powers to another realm in an instant. Though the effects of the elixir was extremely powerful, which gave the person taking it powerful they never had before in a short period of time, but with those incredible effects, it brought about a huge side effects.
Anyone who takes that elixir, would experience a reaction where their spirit powers would be fully depleted for an entire year. And within that year, that person’s body would fall into an extremely frail state, where they would be weaker than even a regular person, and the slightest bit of any additional agitation on the body might very well bring them death.
And those were just the side effects that Jun Wu Xie was aware of at that moment. The full scale of the damage that would be inflicted upon the user after taking the elixir was still not known.
Reducing oneself to become almost a complete cripple for an entire year after, to exchange for momentary unsurpassed powers. If one was unable to conclude the battle before the effects of the elixir wears off, then the only end the user would come to meet would definitely be death!
When Jun Wu Xie gave them those Spirit Transformation Elixirs, she had repeatedly emphasized, that they must not be taken until the most critical moment. Otherwise, once the elixir was swallowed, even she would have no way of reversing its side effects!
At the moment that Qiao Chu and the others saw Rong Ruo bring out the Spirit Transformation Elixir, they knew that under Rong Ruo’s seemingly calm facade, hatred that scorched the Heavens was about to burst forth.
She was ready to give it everything she’s got and more, determined to throw herself into a battle to the death with the Soul Return Palace Lord!
Revenge for all her kin, she would exact it today with her own hands!
At almost the same instant, Qiao Chu and the others exchanged glances before taking out their own Spirit Transformation Elixir they had on them.
Having come to such a juncture, they had already effectively severed any way out of this for themselves!
At the same time, Fei Yan, Rong Ruo, Qiao Chu, Hua Yao, and Fan Zhuo then swallowed the Spirit Transformation Elixir!
The Soul Return Palace Lord was still looking at Rong Ruo contemptuously. When he saw Rong Ruo and the others swallowing that Elixir, he had an indistinct feeling that something wasn’t quite right, but did not know what was going on.
“Taking any kind of medicine or elixirs at this point would not be of any use to you. A Purple Spirit will still be a Purple Spirit. How could you possibly stand against a Silver Spirit?” The Soul Return Palace Lord said sneeringly.
The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord managed to regain his composure at that moment as he looked at the wound upon his arm. He then came to acutely detect that although Fei Yan had looked to be fine earlier, he was certain that he had already inflicted internal injuries upon Fei Yan. But as Fei Yan was from the Great Ape race, his body was tougher than most people and that was why he had seemed to have not suffered any damage.
“Deliberate pointless tricks. I would really like to see what all of you can conjure up.” The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord said with her eyes narrowed.
Jun Wu Xie silently watched the repulsive and ugly faces of the twelve Palace Lords before turning her gaze slowly onto Qiao Chu and the others.
In the instant that Jun Wu Xie’s gaze fell upon Qiao Chu and gang, the purple coloured spirit light that surrounded their bodies was already swelling up at an alarming rate, the density of their spirit powers rising maniacally!
Purple Spirit’s third stage!
Purple Spirit’s fourth stage!
Silver Spirit! !

Chapter 1920: “Explosive Face Slap (12)”
When the purple glow was covered over by the silver light, the eyes of everyone within the venue turned wide in
that instant, the taunting ridicule already fading away under that brilliance of that silver light, replaced by utter shock!
“How was that possible….. From a Purple Spirit to the Silver Spirit….. How could it happen so quickly…..” The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord stared incredulously at Fei Yan who was shrouded by blinding silver light, the surprise in his eyes showing clearly.
Attaining the Purple Spirit in one’s cultivation was already very hard and going from the Purple Spirit to the Silver Spirit was way beyond difficult. Not to mention seeing it happen in a mere minute’s time, as even when given a hundred years, even among supposed gifted geniuses, only a rare few would be able to breakthrough to such a realm.
But right before their eyes, five Purple Spirits had actually broken through to the Silver Spirit as they watched with incredulity, the strength of the Silver Spirit’s light turning from weak to strong, and was even still rising without stopping!
Even for the twelve Palace Lords who possessed wide experience and knowledge were stunned into a daze by such a scene.
“To think that such a miraculous medicine actually exists under these Heavens! One that allows a Purple Spirit to breakthrough to the Silver Spirit in an instant! ? What kind of an elixir was that?” The Dark Heavens Palace Lord stared with his jaw hanging at what was happening before his eyes. It completely defied logic, which could be termed as nothing but miraculous, instantly crushing any kind of confidence that they originally held in their heart!
The Silver Spirit light upon the bodies of Fei Yan and the gang suddenly stopped shooting up when it reached the Silver Spirit’s second level, the surging spirit light encompassing every single one of their bodies, the light too blinding to look at directly.
“Now, we can start.” Fei Yan said slowly as he raised up his head, his half narrowed eyes brewing with endless murder, his gaze sharp as blades as it met the astounded eyes of the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord.
The very instant that Fei Yan’s voice fell, five silver figures morphed into lightning streaks, each charging straight at the opponent they sought to exact revenge upon!
The Flame Demons Palace Lord, Dragon Slayers Palace Lord, Soul Return Palace Lord, Dark Heavens Palace Lord, and the Purple Thunder Palace Lord immediately found themselves under a massive onslaught. The spirit power from their bodies clashed with the spirit light from Qiao Chu and the others in that instant, the force from the enormous impact causing the entire venue to shake and quiver!
It had turned into a battle that no ordinary person could take part in.
A fight to the death between Silver Spirits could be said to be one that transcended all levels!
With the passing of a mere ten seconds, the roof and walls of the venue were filled with splits and crack marks, with fine debris crumbling down from above. Within the swirling fog of dust kicked up, streaks of silver light flashed, looking like silver lightning hidden within a blinding fog, moving so fast it was impossible to see them clearly!
Jun Wu Xie stood at the entrance of the venue hall, her eyes cold as she looked the many lightning quick figures locked in battle. With her powers, she was unable to clearly see the battle among the Silver Spirits!
A loud crash sounded, as a good half of the ceiling collapsed and fell from the constant impact striking it, to land heavily upon the long table within the hall, kicking up a great cloud of dust!
“We cannot remain here in this place any longer! It’s going to collapse!” It was not known which Palace Lord suddenly shouted, and everyone who had been standing within the hall to watch the battle suddenly summoned up their spirit powers to charge speedily out from the hall!
At the same instant that they charged out from the summit’s venue, the entire place collapsed, the streaks of silver light continuing to clash and criss cross incessantly under the chaos and dust. The resulting booms was enough to shatter people’s eardrums, and the ever widening waves of spirit power spilling out from battle constantly turned the broken stone slabs into crushed rubble inch by inch!
The various Palace Lords who escaped out from the summit’s venue were still rather unsettled as they stared at the shambles and disorder, their faces still in shock as they looked at Qiao Chu and his companions who were engaged in battle.
Volume 20
Chapter 1921: “Explosive Face Slap (13)”
These few youths were actually able to stand against the Flame Demons Palace Lord and the others!
That was just too unbelievable!
Even if the powers of Qiao Chu and the others had shot up to the Silver Spirit’s second stage at a highly alarming rate, the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord and the others has already attained the Silver Spirit’s third level from long before, with some among them like the Flame Demons Palace Lord for example, he had already broken through to the Silver Spirit’s fourth stage and he was the person within the Twelve Palaces who was closest to the Gold Spirit!
Above the Silver Spirit, the gap between every single stage was like that of a wide gulf, where even if an instant kill was not possible, an overwhelming advantage would still be unavoidable.
But even after the battle had gone on for a few short minutes, Qiao Chu and his gang were not at any disadvantage at all but were in reality fighting on par with the Flame Demons Palace Lord and the others!
Unthinkable things were happening one after another and the faces of the Palace Lords from the different Palaces were in shock. Too many things were happening at the same time and they were finding it impossible to grasp all of it.
During the battle, the Flame Demons Palace Lord’s teeth were tightly clenched in hatred. To think that the Twelve Palaces’ number one would be pushed to be fighting equally with a youth in his teens who borrowed strength from an elixir. That was just unbelievably humiliating!
The Flame Demons Palace Lord had wanted to take down his opponent with one single stroke countless times but he quickly discovered that a pair of fiery pair of scarlet red gloves had actually appeared on Qiao Chu’s fists out of nowhere. Those gloves were extraordinarily tough and in the instant when the Flame Demons Palace Lord had clashed his fist against his opponent’s, an intense searing and a hardness almost like that of unyielding steel had immediately made him realize the exceptional power of those gloves.
“What are those things on your hands?” The Flame Demons Palace Lord asked fiercely in the instant they pulled apart from each other as he stared at Qiao Chu through narrowed eyes.
The ends of Qiao Chu’s lips curled up with a smile as his fists turned into two fiery dragons, that shot speedily forward together with his body as he charged, leaving a blazing red trail of flames in the air behind him.
“What? You don’t recognize the Flame Demons Palace’s most representative magical treasure?” Qiao Chu’s voice reached the Flame Demons Palace Lord’s ears.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord barely managed to dodge Qiao Chu’s strike, his foot turning around to retreat back a few steps, his face not yet recovered from astonishment. It had been just a slight passing brush over his shoulder and the fiery blaze on those gloves had burned right through his clothes, leaving stinging red burn wounds upon his shoulder!
If that fist had struck him directly on his body, the results would have been disastrous.
But what astounded the Flame Demons Palace Lord even more was Qiao Chu’s words instead.
The Flame Demons Palace’s most representative magical treasure?
He could still faintly remember back when the Dark Emperor unified the Middle Realm, all the treasures held by the Twelve Palaces, the Nine Temples and the Four Sides were seized by the Dark Regions and among them, were treasures that were symbolic of the respective palaces. The Flame Demons Palace’s most illustrative magical treasure back then had been the Flame Dragon Gauntlets and it was said to have been forged from the scales of the Flame Dragon, an ancient Divine Beast. The Flame Dragon Gauntlets inherited the Flame Dragon’s fiery attributes, innately infused with the raging inferno of flames. It’s
flames could not be extinguished by regular water and would burn through the hardest thing under the Heavens, where it was said that no living being would be able to block the Flame Dragon’s flames.
Those very Flame Dragon Gauntlets had been taken away by the Dark Emperor who reigned over the Dark Regions back then until the Dark Emperor fell, where they were then buried together with a large horde of treasure in the Dark Emperor’s tomb, to accompany the Dark Emperor in eternal rest.
When the Flame Demons Palace Lord was born, the Dark Emperor had already fallen for a long time and he had never even seen the Flame Demons Palace’s Flame Dragon Gauntlets before. It was only when he was prompted by Qiao Chu’s words earlier and after he witnessed the gauntlets’ powers that it quickly dawned upon the Flame Demons Palace Lord!
“How did the Flame Dragon Gauntlets come to be in your hands! ?” The Flame Demons Palace Lord was suddenly startled. Shouldn’t those things be in the Dark Emperor’s tomb?

Chapter 1922: “Explosive Face Slap (14)”
“Wait till you’re dead and I’ll tell you.” Qiao Chu replied, his eyes flashing with intense murder. His body then flew up into the air, his fists pushed against each other as an inferno flared up between his fists in a fiery blaze. He suddenly shot downwards, his fists smashing onto the ground where the raging flames tore a large split that charged straight towards the Flame Demons Palace Lord, like a massive flaming dragon that was about to tear into the Flame Demons Palace Lord with a deafening roar!
The searing heat tearing straight towards him forced the Flame Demons Palace Lord to pull his spirit powers into a shield around himself, attempting to block out the Flame Dragon’s fire. Even so, the magnificently lavish clothes upon his body was badly singed and scorched by the inferno, to turn into tattered rags!
