Luo Xi then said, his body still shaking: “I plead for the revered one to calm your anger! I have already tried everything within my means but that kid up in the city’s north seems a little strange. All the great heaps of poison I threw in there had no effect and assassins I sent there did not even return.”
If he wasn’t left with no other choice, Luo Xi would not have dared to agitate the revered one carelessly as the revered one’s rage was not something he would be able to endure. But all the underhanded tricks and schemes he had devised against the city’s north had been of no use. From the initial attempts of using poison till the last time he sent assassins to kill the youth, they had all failed just as miserably. In the end, when even the men who had only gone close to the city’s north to keep watch had not been able to return alive, Luo Xi decided that he had no other choice but to invite the revered one here.
“So, what happened here?” The black clothed man asked as he sat himself upon a chair, his brows furrowed as he stared at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi immediately told the black clothed man about everything that had happened in the Clear Breeze City throughout this period and spiced up the part when he spoke about the City Lord’s lack of action and effort towards it.
“Luo Xi has disappointed the revered one’s trust in me and Luo Xi is utterly ashamed! But that Young Master Jun’s identity is truly rather suspicious and is not someone I am able to deal with. Being left with no other choice, I could only beg for the revered one to intervene.”
“Young Master Jun?”
“Yes, his identity is highly mysterious and I have not been able to dig up anything at all.”
“From what you are telling me, it means that you have not even sent a single one of the “medicine man” out throughout this entire period?” The black clothed man’s voice suddenly became chillier.
The medicine men he mentioned, meant refugees who had been fed the poison.
“That….. That’s….. right…..” Luo Xi stammered with a gulp, his head sinking even lower onto the ground.
“What a bunch of useless trash!” The black clothed man shot to his feet in rage with a flick of his sleeves. “I am rather keen to see what kind of a person dares to stir up such turmoil here in this place!”

Chapter 1458: “Undercurrents (3)”
Inside the loft unit in the city’s north, Jun Wu Xie was playing a round of chess with Jun Wu Yao. As she put down the chess piece, to take out one of Jun Wu Yao’s chess pieces, Jun Wu Xie raised her head up and saw…..
Someone‘s focus was completely not on the chessboard and was instead looking at her with an amused expression.
“If you lose one more time, your punishment will be to go sweep the floor.” Jun Wu Xie said as her eyebrow arched up.
Jun Wu Yao was slightly taken aback and then laughed in spite of himself. “As long as you want it, I can go sweep even without having to lose.”
Ye Sha and Ye Mei kept their gazes looking stoically outside the window. With the subtle changes coming over Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao’s relationship, the two of them had to face this display of affection that felt rather awkward for them, making them start to really envy Ye Jie who was busying herself downstairs.
However, just as Jun Wu Xie was about to open her mouth to respond, she suddenly felt a powerful presence approaching her at an extremely high speed!
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed and she turned her head to look out of the window.
“The big fish is finally biting.”
“Is Little Xie going to test out your powers?” Jun Wu Yao asked as he held up his chin resting upon his palm, his eyes fixed on the side of Jun Wu Xie’s face.
“Why not?” Jun Wu Xie replied with her eyebrow arched up.
When Qiao Chu and the gang were at the Heaven’s End Cliff, they had fought with people from the Twelve Palaces then. But as she had concentrated fully on her cultivation, she had not truly gone up against anyone from the Twelve Palaces. The only opportunity she had to use her powers was only against the Poison Men.
She was rather curious herself how she would fare against people from the Twelve Palaces.
Jun Wu Yao gave a light laugh.
“As you wish, but this one is not an average opponent. From what I am able to feel, his powers should be similar to that Elder from the Palace of Flame Demons.” Although he was not going to be involved, Jun Wu Yao still did not forget to remind Jun Wu Xie of the opponent’s powers.
“If you can defeat him, then among the people throughout the Twelve Palaces, not many people would be a match for you.”
Throughout the Twelve Palaces, the Palace Lords were the ones who held the greatest power, followed by the Elder ranked ones. Elder Hui from before had been one of them and he had possessed very strong power or otherwise Ye Sha would not have succumbed at his hands that day. The person fast approaching them today actually possessed powers of a similar level to Elder Hui!
Jun Wu Xie got up slowly. “Then I should really give it a good test.”
After having fished for so long and she had finally gotten a bite, how could she miss it?
On the outside in the city’s north, a black clothed man that was exuding a terrifying and murderous aura came. When the refugees nearby saw that person appear, they subconsciously gulped. Instinct made them unable to take another step forward and they all scattered to hide away carefully.
The black clothed man’s cold eyes surveyed the surroundings and he suddenly raised up a hand as Purple Spirit energies shrouded his entire body. A ray of Purple Spirit light shot out from his palm and immediately blasted against one of the lofts right before him!
A resounding crash rang out in an instant and the tall loft building was smashed in an instant!
Anguished wailing could then be heard in that instant!
The refugees who had hidden themselves watched the scene before them with eyes wide and mouths agape. There were several hundreds people living in that block of lofts and with one loud crash, the lofts had toppled, pieces of rubble large and small scattering all over the ground, to kick up a billowing cloud of dust. Under that resounding crash, they could clearly hear the mournful cries that hailed from death!
A thick foul stench of blood immediately spread through the air within the entire northern edge of the city, where several hundred lives had been destroyed together with the lofts in an instant.
The refugees stared in disbelief at the loft building that lay a heap of rubble, terror creeping deep into the hearts of everyone there!
Volume 15
Chapter 1459: “Stick Your Face Out (1)”
The black clothed man stood watching everything. Under the cloud of dust flying, he stood with his eyes narrowed, his low and raspy voice suddenly reverberating within everyone’s years.
“I do not care who you might be. Today, if you do not appear, I will kill every single person here!” The black clothed man’s voice was filled with intense murder, at the moment he opened his mouth, he had charged straight towards a refugee, holding the person within a tight grip.
Luo Xi had followed behind and arrived here in a rush. When he saw the highly tyrannical ways of the black clothed man, his heart filled up with delight!
He knew that the black clothed man held immense powers and everything he saw at that moment greatly relieved him.
“The revered one is truly powerful.” Luo Xi hurriedly stepped forward to bootlick.
The black clothed man however just snorted in disdain.
The refugee gripped in the black clothed man’s hand had his face filled with terror and the others people around them were immensely shocked by the enemy’s strength.
A Purple Spirit!
Even if every single one of them pounced on him, it would not be enough to take on that one man.
What shocked all the refugees even more was the presence of Luo Xi beside the black clothed man. In the hearts of the refugees, Luo Xi was a good person and they would never have thought tha
t the “great benefactor” they respected so highly would bring such a demon to this place.
“Hey! That one named Jun! If you are going to continue to be a tortoise who hides within your shell today, then you shall see all these pieces of trash die right before your eyes!” With the black robed man on his side, Luo Xi’s courage was immediately boosted as he stood upon the ground and shouted loudly.
That highly arrogant demeanor, made all the refugees feel like jumping forward to tear that hypocrite into shreds.
They must have been blind in the beginning, to actually think this sly jackal was a good person!
“Smashed my lofts and you’re still barking?” Suddenly, a cold chilly voice was heard by everyone’s ears.
All the refugees immediately turned their heads in search for the owner of that voice, expressions of joy brightening up the people’s faces.
The black clothed man’s eyebrow raised up as he looked at the white clothed youth walking slowly in approach. That youth was small in stature and his countenance was unremarkable and looked mediocre, but the youth possessed a pair of extremely icy pair of eyes, which made one unable to forget them after seeing them once.
“You are that Young Master Jun these people talked about?” The black clothed man said as he stared at Jun Wu Xie before him.
He had not thought that the person who had driven Luo Xi and the City Lord to their wits end would actually be such a emaciated looking youth.
“Yes.” Jun Wu Xie answered, her eyebrow arching up. She could clearly feel how intense the Purple Spirit energy that was emanating from the black clothed man was.
[Not an average character indeed.]
“Good, at least you have the guts to admit it.” The black clothed man said with a cold smile.
The Clear Breeze City is not a place that you can stir up so much trouble. No matter who you are, you will have to die here today.”
“Oh?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyebrow lifted, her chilly eyes swinging over to the black clothed man. “Stir trouble? Instead of saying that I stirred up trouble, you might as well say that I disrupted your grand scheme.”
Jun Wu Xie turned the point around, her eyes flashing with a frosty chill.
“Allowing weak and frail refugees into the city and then feeding them with lethal poison to turn them into puppets to be manipulated under your hands, to finally carry that terrifying poison to various places throughout the lands in order to create more Poison Men….. What a great ploy! Treating people’s lives trifling dirt! Who gave you that right to do whatever you please so arrogantly?”
Jun Wu Xie’s words were like a bolt of lightning that flashed down from clear skies, striking the hearts of all the refugees . Their eyes stared widely, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Luo Xi looked at Jun Wu Xie and banking on the fact that he had the black clothed man supporting him, he took a step forward to say in a sneer: “To be able to serve the revered one should be their honour.”
Volume 15
Chapter 1460: “Stick Your Face Out (2)”
“What can these pieces of trash even do? They’re just a completely useless bunch. They should be grateful to the Heavens that they are even of use to the revered one. Otherwise, if they are all left outside the city, I wonder how many days longer they would even be able to live. Letting them live as freeloaders within the city walls for so long would already be a gift of benevolence to them.” Luo Xi’s words were extremely harsh which angered the refugees so much they were shaking in rage, their hearts yearning to rip that man up into a million pieces.
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed slightly, murder creeping into them.
“Whether a person lives or dies, is not to be decided by people like you.”
“Ha! I’ll say! Isn’t this little kid thinking a little too much of himself? To think that you are still able to care about the affairs of others. You are going to die here today and I’ll like to see how much longer that mouth of yours has to spew such garbage!” Luo Xi said triumphantly.
The black clothed man had no intentions to waste his breath on Jun Wu Xie and he immediately raised his hand wanting to strike the refugee he held in a tight grip to death!
But in the instant that his palm fell, the figure of Jun Wu Xie disappeared from her spot.
A streak of Purple Spirit energy suddenly struck the hand that the black clothed man had raised up.
The sudden strike that came caught the black robed man completely unawares. His palm took a hit and the pain stung greatly. In that moment that he was caught in surprise, the figure of Jun Wu Xie had reached right beside him, suddenly snatching the refugee he held in his other hand away, quickly delivering the refugee a distance off to safety.
By the time Jun Wu Xie was once again standing firmly upon the ground, her body was already entirely shrouded in a flare of Purple Spirit power glow!
Luo Xi stared in flabbergasted shock at the Purple Spirit energy swirling around Jun Wu Xie’s body. He could absolutely not believe his own eyes! That the little youth of unknown identity would actually be…. a Purple Spirit!
This time, not only Luo Xi was astounded. The eyes of the black clothed man were equally filled with surprise when he saw the Purple Spirit energy upon Jun Wu Xie’s body.
He realized that he had actually not detected what level of spirit power Jun Wu Xie really possessed earlier. It had been as if the spirit power in Jun Wu Xie’s body had been shielded under some strange force and the black robed man had thought that the youth before his eyes was just another piece of trash that possessed spirit power too low for him to detect, never having once expected that the opponent would turn out to be a Purple Spirit as well!
“Who will die today, has not been decided.” Jun Wu Xie said softly, her chin slightly lifted as she stared at the ashen faced Luo Xi.
The sudden appearance of two powerful Purple Spirits immediately caused a stir among all the hidden eyes within the city. All of them immediately rushed towards the spot the presence of two Purple Spirits had appeared!
“Lord Jue.” Ye Sha and Ye Mei appeared behind Jun Wu Yao.
“Hmm?” Jun Wu Yao’s gaze did not shift away from Jun Wu Xie in the slightest.
“There are quite a number of powerful energies headed towards us here and they are all deemed to be at the Purple Spirit level.” Ye Sha said in a cold stoic tone.
The corners of Jun Wu Yao’s lips curled up. “Seems like this Clear Breeze City has quite a few small shrimps and little fishes inside and they can now smell the news so they’re all rushing over.”
“Would Lord Jue want the few of us to go take them…..”
“No need.” Jun Wu Yao waved his hand dismissively as he continued to look at Jun Wu Xie and the black clothed man staring at each other and then said: “Little Xie would face up against the Twelve Palaces sooner or later. She is no longer the same as before and she can use this battle here today to serve a warning to the Twelve Palaces that the Lower Realm now has a new owner.”
“But if the others were to strike as well…..” Ye Sha could not help but still feel a little worried.
Jun Wu Yao instead told him: “Nobody will want to do such a thing that does not benefit them at all. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. No one will want to play the mantis and let people from the other palaces to reap the benefits. But just in case, if they really dare to show their faces, then let Ye Gu go warm up a little.”
Volume 15
Chapter 1461: “Stick Your Face Out (3)”
Ye Jie who had been completely silent on the side had upon hearing Jun Wu Yao’s words which had barely just started to fade, instantly transformed into Ye Gu, who rubbed his fists in anticipation, all ready to kick up a huge whirl of a storm.
“Lord Jue you can be most assured that if they dare to stick their heads out, I guarantee that not a single one of them would be able to leave the Clear Breeze City alive.” Ye Gu’s face was one of bloodthirsty excitement. As the Commander in Chief of the Night Re
gime, he had guarded the tomb for too long and he had yearned for so long to engage himself in an exhilarating bloodbath.
Jun Wu Yao smiled and did not say anything else.
Outside the loft, Jun Wu Xie and the black clothed man were faced against each other. The initially highly arrogant Luo Xi had from the moment he saw the Purple Spirit glow upon Jun Wu Xie’s body immediately clamped his mouth shut. Even with the black robed man’s support, he didn’t dare to go provoke a Purple Spirit directly!
“Which one of the palaces are you from?” The black clothed man asked as he stared at Jun Wu Xie. He didn’t believe that anyone would be able to break through to the Purple Spirit at such a young age here in the Lower Realm. Although a Purple Spirit was able to retain a person’s youth, but the youth they were able to maintain would not be to such a ridiculous extent. Even in the Middle Realm, those who were able to break through to the Purple Spirit at that young a age would be considered a rare prodigy few and far between.
“Which palace?” Jun Wu Xie sneered coldly. “I do not come from any of the palaces. Under these Heavens, not only you people from the Twelve Palaces are able to do as you please. These lands your feet are standing on belong to the Lower Realm and it is not a place for you people from the Middle Realm to meddle with!”
“Such audacious words! Do you really think having become a Purple Spirit means absolute might? Let me teach you now, the difference between one Purple Spirit and another Purple Spirit!” At the very moment the black clothed man’s voice fell, he had already turned into a streak of purple light, speedily leaping straight towards Jun Wu Xie!
The figure of Jun Wu Xie had also turned into a purple streak at that same moment.
The glow from the two purple coloured spirit lights were like two flashes of lightning, crisscrossing over each other up in the air under the open sky!
