“You’re so severely injured yourself and you still have the leisure to care whether others lives or dies?” Jun Wu Yao watched Jun Wu Xie’s actions, and then went forward to wrap Jun Wu Xie into his arms, highly displeased.

If it had been at another time, he would not have minded. When Jun Wu Yao saw the heavily injured state Jun Wu Xie was in, his heart had been wrenched up into a tight ball and he had wondered what she had wanted to do.
In the end…..
“I had not wanted to kill her.” Jun Wu Xie said with her brows creasing up slightly.
Ye Gu who was standing at the side then briefly related the entire sequence of events to Jun Wu Yao’s enquiring gaze and Jun Wu Yao furrowed up his brows slightly.
Towards people she wanted to kill, she could be completely heartless and merciless without even batting an eyelid. But if it was someone whom she did not mean to implicate, her heart would still retain a tinge of benevolence. Though she was said to be cold, but hidden inside her, was a big warm heart.
“Now that you’ve saved the person, shouldn’t we have your injuries tended to already?” Jun Wu Yao wasn’t going to get into an argument with Jun Wu Xie over such a small thing as from his point of view, anything that Jun Wu Xie wanted to do, he would not object to it.
As long as it did not harm her.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head obediently. The accident this time had made her realize the blind spot in the plans she made. She had actually made preparations for it. When Qiao Chu and the others had taken the Spirit Transformation Elixirs, it had doomed them to lose their spirit powers completely for the entire year ahead, losing all ability to defend themselves. Hence no matter under what kind of circumstances Jun Wu Xie was in, she did not take the Spirit Transformation Elixir. She needed to ensure that at least one person was able to remain standing till the very end, to protect Qiao Chu and the others when they were powerless to defend themselves.
But she had not thought that Gu Ying would bring in such a powerful bunch of people, that exceeded anything that Jun Wu Xie could have expected.
The Twelve Palace Lords had all been executed and when news of it spread, the Twelve Palaces’ disciples who were already being pushed back in retreat no longer had the heart to fight and starting running away. Qu Ling Yue and her soldiers had subtly left several gaps in their encirclement of the enemy in order to allow those disciples who had lost their will to fight places to scatter in flight.
Besides the very worst of them who were guilty of countless crimes and the most privileged among them, all others had already fled, leaving behind only those who had not committed much crimes but partook in the battle out of loyalty to be beaten by Qu Ling Yue’s soldiers to lie on the ground injured with ashen faces.
They were already imobile and the rest of their fellow disciples had all run away. With their Palace Lord dead and the Elders fallen, they watched Qu Ling Yue and her men cut down some of the Twelve Palaces’ disciples and their hearts immediately fell into despair, thinking that they were all undoubtedly doomed to die.
Unfortunately…..
They did not die as every one of the Twelve Palaces’ disciples who were injured and lost their mobility were ordered to remain in their spots and not to move away from there. Jun Qing left a bunch of Rui Lin Army soldiers behind to watch over them and as long as they did not seek their own deaths, Jun Qing was not going to send them into the afterlife.
The battle that had been so carefully and meticulously planned for several years finally came to a close at that moment. After Jun Qing, Long Qi, Qu Ling Yue and their men made adequate arrangements for the “prisoners of war”, they immediately made their way to the courtyard to check on the situation inside.
When they saw Jun Wu Yao walking out while carrying Jun Wu Xie who was all covered in blood, the smiles on their faces immediately faded to be replaced by utter shock and despair.
“Wu Xie!” Jun Qing shot forward in a single bound, his heart skipping a beat.
The figure of Qu Ling Yue wavered slightly and if not for Lei Chen who quickly supported her, she might have fallen to the ground.
“Uncle, I’m fine. It’s just some superficial wounds.” Seemingly having felt the anxiety in Jun Qing’s tone of voice, Jun Wu Xie lifted her head and tried her best to make her eyes focus on Jun Qing’s face.
Jun Qing looked highly worriedly at Jun Wu Xie. Although she said she was fine, but seeing her in that state, who would believe that she was really alright?
“Silly lass, are you lying to your uncle? How….. how can you be alright looking like this?” Jun Qing’s voice was filled with so much pain.
Volume 20
Chapter 1939: “The Dust Settles (3)”
“Little Xie needs to rest.” Jun Wu Yao voiced out.
What Jun Wu Xie needed the most now was treatment.
Jun Qing was slightly taken aback, suddenly realizing the key thing to do and immediately sent people to fetch Mu Chen.
Jun Wu Yao took Jun Wu Xie to a room to have her rest there temporarily and ordered for people to stand guard outside, allowing no one in except for the physician.
What Jun Wu Xie wanted the least at that moment was to worry her family and if Jun Qing continued to see her in such a state, he would just continue to worry. So why not temporarily isolate her from the others which would on one hand allow Jun Wu Xie to recuperate in peace while at the same time make Jun Qing a little less worried.
“Mistress….. How did you get yourself so severely injured?” Little Lotus was plopped by Jun Wu Xie’s bedside and he was already all covered in tears. The little black cat was holding a cup in its mouth calmly beside Little Lotus, silently collecting Little Lotus’ tears.
[The little idiot’s tears were really good stuff and they must not be wasted. Collect them and they can be used to brew medicine for the Mistress later.]
Jun Wu Xie could not see how Little Lotus looked clearly and could only hear him sobbing miserably.
Little Lotus was sobbing so badly like it was the end of the world when he was suddenly carried up by a force under him. His tear filled eyes immediately flared wide and he turned around in panic to suddenly see the pair of violet eyes on Jun Wu Yao, which frightened him so badly he immediately curled himself up into a ball.
Jun Wu Yao brought Little Lotus to come right before Jun Wu Xie and then slowly said in a deep voice: “The effects of the Imperial Snow Lotus would be rather good for you. You can use it to nourish you first.”
“…..” Little Lotus immediately bloomed with panic…..
At the side, Poppy almost could not hold in his laughter. But before Jun Wu Yao, he did not dare to be too audacious and he could do nothing but silently held it in with everything he had.
“I think it’ll work.” The little black cat put the cup that was filled to the brim with tears carefully aside, nodding its head in all earnestness.
Little Lotus trembled as he looked at Jun Wu Xie’s blood stained face that had not yet been cleaned. He then took a deep breath and slowly stretched out a trembling pudgy little arm.
“Mistress….. Take a bite, I’m really highly nourishing…..”
“…..” Jun Wu Xie suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Mu Chen came rushing in very shortly after. When he saw Jun Wu Yao, he stood there in a daze for quite a while and it was only till Jun Wu Yao arched up an eyebrow to sweep his glance over him that Mu Chen suddenly shivered before he hurriedly went over to Jun Wu Xie to check on her condition.
Jun Wu Xie did not have that many wounds on her body. Before the Selvan’s armour had shattered, it had provided a great amount of protection over her and after that, Ye Gu had done everything in his power to shield her from most of the harm as well. The most serious injury upon Jun Wu Xie’s body was just the wound on her forehead.
The size of the wound was not small, the bloodied flesh turned inside out to reveal a small part of her
skull. There was a crack upon her skull and it was hard to imagine how Jun Wu Xie was still able to remain conscious with such an injury, which greatly shocked Mu Chen when he saw it.
Fortunately when Ye Gu had been shielding her, Jun Wu Xie had fed herself with large amounts of elixirs which prevented the injury from worsening. Otherwise, she might very well have sunken in unconsciousness before Jun Wu Yao could rush over in time.
Mu Chen tended to Jun Wu Xie’s wound very carefully as Jun Wu Yao stood silently by the bed, watching Jun Wu Xie’s face that had gone pale due to excessive loss of blood. The bloodstains had been cleaned from her face and only the wound on her forehead had not been fully dealt with. Upon that peerless countenance, the blood on it looked extraordinarily garish, making Jun Wu Yao feel like reaching his hand out to wipe it away countless times.
As the wound was just too big, he had no choice but to stitch up the wound, and Mu Chen hesitated a moment before he asked.
“Will Young Miss want me to use anesthetic?” Although using anesthetics would numb the pain, but it would also cause great damage to one’s nerves. Moreover, Jun Wu Xie’s wound was on her forehead which was very close to her brain.
Volume 20
Chapter 1940: “The Dust Settles (4)”
“No need.” Jun Wu Xie shook her head. She was highly adverse to using anesthetics as the helpless feeling of being unable to control your own body made her think of the past, when she was under the control of that demonic devil, and was unable to break free.
Mu Chen confirmed it a few times with Jun Wu Xie, whom had though said it was not good to use it, but the pain from stitching one’s wound was not something anyone could tolerate.
Jun Wu Yao walked over to go to the side of the bed and sat down beside Jun Wu Xie. Wrapping his arms around her, he then held her her tiny hand. Smiling slightly, he raised his head and said to Mu Chen: “You can start.”
Jun Wu Xie only felt an incessant warm surge of power coming from Jun Wu Yao’s palm to spread through her, and it seemed that the pain she was feeling on her body lessened by quite a bit.
Mu Chen stitched up Jun Wu Xie’s wound speedily, not daring to prolong the process in the slightest. Although his skills in Medicine could not be compared to Jun Wu Xie’s, but having once been the legitimate successor to the Qing Yun Clan, his skills were rather outstanding as well.
Jun Wu Xie did not even utter a single sound, but merely closed her eyes and endured the heart piercing pain.
It was not till everything was completed, that Mu Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Young Miss is more knowledgeable than I am in Medicine and you should know that the crack in your skull is really quite troublesome.” Mu Chen said as he looked at Jun Wu Xie. Fortunately it was only a very fine hairline, which did not crack deep into the skull. Otherwise….. the result would have been unthinkable.
Jun Wu Xie nodded. She knew that her injuries was rather serious this time and the most worrying thing was that she could possibly have suffered damage to the nervous system in her brain, or her vision would not have become so blurry.
As Mu Chen’s knowledge in Medicine was inferior to that of Jun Wu Xie’s, there was naturally nothing much more he could say. Jun Wu Xie then mouthed out a prescription for Mu Chen to have his people go prepare. The little black cat jumped out at that opportune moment and used its furry paw to push the cup filled with Little Lotus’ tears right before Mu Chen.
How could medicine brewed with regular water ever compare with one with Little Lotus’ tears?
Mu Chen held the cup of tears, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as he went walking outside.
“Get some sleep. When the medicine is ready, I’ll wake you.” Jun Wu Yao said gently. Seeing the little one in his arms like this pained him so badly.
Jun Wu Xie nodded. She was really rather tired.
Seeing that Jun Wu Xie had drifted off to sleep, Jun Wu Yao gently laid her down on the bed. When he stood up, his eyes then swung onto the softly sobbing Little Lotus standing at the side. Caught under that gaze, Little Lotus immediately clasped his tiny hands over his mouth, not daring to make another sound.
“Look after her well.” Jun Wu Yao said to the bunch of non humans in the room.
Poppy nodded especially earnestly, while the little black cat just swished its tail in acknowledgement.
Stepping out from Jun Wu Xie’s room, Ye Sha and Ye Mei were standing guard outside the door.
“Ye Gu went to get some rest first. His injuries were quite serious this time but he still came seeking to beg forgiveness from Lord Jue. I was afraid that Young Miss would feel guilty and I asked him to go to his room to rest first.” Ye Sha opened his mouth to report. Ye Gu had gotten injured because he was shielding Jun Wu Xie and with Jun Wu Xie’s personality, if Ye Gu did not recover as soon as possible, she would definitely blame herself for it.
After having followed Jun Wu Xie for so long, Ye Sha had come to know Jun Wu Xie’s character well.
Jun Wu Yao nodded, not showing any objection to the arrangements Ye Sha had made.
“Lord Jue, Gu Ying used the Soul Shifting Technique and is still not dead. Now that he knows my Lord’s identity….. he needs to be eradicated quickly. Otherwise, once news of this leaks out, it might draw those people here.” Ye Mei who was standing on one side said rather worriedly. He had rushed here together with Jun Wu Yao and he had witnessed everything that happened earlier.
To have been able to escape out from Jun Wu Yao’s Blood Burial alive, that Gu Ying was rather capable.
Volume 20
Chapter 1941: “Secretly Hidden (1)”
To have been able to escape out from Jun Wu Yao’s Blood Burial alive, that Gu Ying was rather capable.
Gu Ying’s escape was a small matter but what worried Ye Mei more was that news that Jun Wu Yao was still alive would spread.
“Since I’m back here in the Middle Realm, those people will discover it sooner or later anyway.” The corners of Jun Wu Yao’s lips curled up, his eyes flashing with a chill.
“Lord Jue, then should we return to the Lower Realm immediately?” Ye Mei’s tone was filled with worry. The many powers in the Middle Realm were highly complicated and the extent of the places their people reached were many and far reaching. It would not be easy for them to deal with immediately.
Jun Wu Yao’s gaze then turned around slightly to look upon the tightly shut door a moment before he shook his head.
“Let them continue with things in the Lower Realm. After some time, make a trip back to the Dark Regions.” Jun Wu Yao then said.
“Go back to the Dark Regions?” The faces of Ye Sha and Ye Mei immediately flashed with a tinge of surprise.
If Lord Jue was asking Ye Mei to go back to the Dark Regions, wasn’t that a hint that he was bring the news that he was still alive back to the Dark Regions?
“Lord Jue please reconsider! You still have not fully recovered from your injuries and it isn’t advisable for you to make any moves against those people for the time being. I beg for Lord Jue to give us a little bit more time and we will definitely have everything properly dealt with. At that time…..” Ye Mei immediately knelt before Jun Wu Yao, to plead with sincere and earnest words.
Jun Wu Yao held up a hand to interrupt Ye Mei’s words.
“Even if I am willing to wait, it is feared that those people are unable to sit back anymore.” Jun Wu Yao’s mouth twisted up into a cold sneer. “Now that the Soul Transfer Technique has appeared here in the Middle Realm, with such an interesting thing happening, I am thinking they have already made their moves. The Nine Temples have always been highly discreet with their ways and this does not seem to be their style of doing things.”
Although he had not come back to the Middle Realm for so long, but information about the Middle Realm had not stopped reaching Jun Wu Yao’s ears.
One Region, Four Sides, Nine Temples, Twelve Palaces.
The different factions of power in the Middle Realm. Befo
re Jun Wu Yao had the idea of unifying the Middle Realm, the Four Sides stayed aloof from worldly affairs, and only the Nine Temples and Twelve Palaces were most aggressive. The Nine Temples were established before the Twelve Palaces and they accumulated much more robust powers. And as the relations between the Nine Temples were far more cohesive than the Twelve Palaces, without having any conflicts between them, they had always suppressed the Twelve Palaces in terms of power, indisputably stronger.
But according to the information Ye Mei and the others had managed to gather in recent years, after the Dark Emperor fell and the Dark Regions went into seclusion, the Nine Temples had suddenly became rather restrained, keeping a low profile with their ways, which gave the Twelve Palaces the opportunity to stand taller.
It might not seem like much to any others who saw this, but to Jun Wu Yao, there was something highly interesting about it.
It must be known that the Nine Temples’ Temple Lords and the Twelve Palaces’ Palaces Lords were completely different as ever since the the Nine Temples had been established, the Temple Lords of the respective temples had never once changed!
Long before Jun Wu Yao had appeared in the Middle Realm, the Temple Lords of the Nine Temples had already reigned over their respective Temples and that had not changed when Jun Wu Yao unified the Middle Realm. Even till now, after a thousand years had passed, the Temple Lords of the Nine Temples were still the same nine people.
Having lived a few thousand years, why have they suddenly turned apathetic and unambitious?
“If I remember it correctly, that Gu Ying who escaped, wasn’t his maternal family from the Spirit Void Temple?” Jun Wu Yao asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
