Volume 15
Chapter 1477: “Spirit Jade Palace (1)”
The Soul Calming Jade had protected Jun Gu flesh body by preventing it from rot and decay, allowing his corpse to maintain its condition as it was the moment just before he died. Once she finds Jun Gu’s spirit, she would be able to let Jun Gu be revived!
And to find Jun Gu’s spirit, she would have to go to the place that spirit bodies gathered, the Spirit World!
However, the demarcation of powers in the Middle Realm was extremely strange. The Dark Region sat in the most center of the Middle Realm and surrounding it were the Four Sides. The next outer layer was the Nine Temples’ domain of power while the Twelve Palaces took up the area in the outermost perimeter.
And Mount Fu Yao where Jun Wu Xie and her companions were now at was situated at the boundary line where the borders of the Twelve Palaces and the Nine Temples met. It could be said that a single step taken a foot forward at this place could very well place a person in a completely different division of power.
Jun Wu Xie went one round through the weapons shop to take a look but was unable to conclude anything useful. She was just about to lift her foot to take a step out of the shop when a black shadow suddenly came flying straight towards her from the front, which made Jun Wu Xie instinctively dodge to the side.
She then heard a loud crash. The black shadow crashed right into a shelf behind Jun Wu Xie that had been used to display various kinds of weapons and a series of loud clatter erupted.
“I’ll tell you this! If you let me hear you saying anything bad about the Spirit Jade Palace again, I will tear your mouth up!” A youthful girl shouted in a rage as she walked out from among the crowd, as she glared at the man that had fallen to the ground, her hand gripped tightly around a leather whip.
The young girl’s countenance was pretty with exquisite features, but her clothes were rather plain, and the eyes were shining brightly ablaze with fiery rage.
The man on the floor climbed to his feet rather nervously as he stared at the young girl holding the whip with a slight trace of fear in his eyes.
“Under these Heavens, is there still such a place called the Spirit Jade Palace? Why do I not remember it at all?” A clear and audible voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd and three youths wearing the uniform of the Cloud Brook Academy were seen walking slowly over. The one in the lead, was the person who had spoken.
Seeing that there was someone was taking his side, the man who had been beaten immediately jumped out.
“That’s right! What dog’s fart Spirit Jade Palace? It’s been so many years since they were completely eradicated by the Twelve Palaces and only you bunch of little lasses would still hold the Spirit Jade Palace so dearly in your hearts. Who would even know what kind a damned place the Spirit Jade Palace is even nowadays?”
The young girl’s face turned livid and everyone saw that she was going to lash out with her whip when she was blocked by the youth from the Cloud Brook Academy. The youth’s had a fair skinned face, his features attractive looking, but just that the corners of his eyes were tinged with something that made people feel rather uncomfortable. He scanned his eyes over the highly furious young girl from head to toe and his lips curled up sightly at the side.
“Little lady, why are you so angry? Could it be that you are really a member of the Spirit Jade Palace?”
“Don’t think just because you are wearing the uniform of the Cloud Brook Academy and have the backing of the Twelve Palaces and the NIne Temple that you can be say whatever you want! The Spirit Jade Palace has never been eradicated!” The young girl shouted indignantly.
“Ha ha. How can a young lady like you speak in such a manner? I am just a little ignorant here and have never heard of the name Spirit Jade Palace that’s all. If the Miss here has time, why don’t you tell about about the origins of the Spirit Jade Palace?” As he spoke, the youth had actually reached out his hand, wanting to stroke the back of the young girl’s hand, seeking to take advantage of her.
But just as the youth’s hand was about to touch the back of the young girl’s hand, the whip held in the young girl’s hand suddenly swung up, forcing the lecher who was thinking to grab a feel to back away.
“A tongue slippery as a snake. Neither are you up to any good!” As she spoke, the young girl cracked her whip and sent its tip swooshing straight towards the youth.
In just a blink of an eye, the area just outside the weapons shop had broken out into chaos and Jun Wu Xie carried the little black cat in her arms as she turned to leave calmly.
Volume 15
Chapter 1478: “Spirit Jade Palace (2)”
Jun Wu Xie has not much interest in fights between youths in the Middle Realm. Their movements from what she saw were too slow and only people in the Elder levels from the Twelve Palaces would pique her interest. But one thing that the young girl mentioned when she said “Spirit Jade Palace” had caused her a little puzzlement.
Qiao Chu and the others had specifically told her all the twelve names the Twelve Palaces went by and she had not heard them mentioning anything about a Spirit Jade Palace.
Jun Wu Xie casually abducted a big goofy looking passerby and poured a vial of her truth serum “medicine” down his throat to make him spill out everything he knew about the Spirit Jade Palace.
In truth, more than a thousand years ago, the Middle Realm did not only have Twelve Palaces. There had been another thirteenth palace, the Spirit Jade Palace.
But the Spirit Jade Palace was slightly different from the other palaces as from the top ranked member all the way to the bottom, the Spirit Jade Palace only accepted females. Back in the days before the Spirit Jade Palace had fallen, within a ten mile radius around the palace, they did not allow any males to set foot in there. The Palace Lord of the Spirit Jade Palace had also been infamously eccentric, never ever having taken one single step out from the Spirit Jade Palace. It was once rumoured that the Spirit Jade Palace’s Palace Lord was actually the most powerful one among all the other Palace Lords.
The Spirit Jade Palace had once been highly influential for a time but just because of one time’s internal strife, it had greatly diminished the powers of the entire Spirit Jade Palace as many of their disciples lost their lives during that incident and the Spirit Jade Palace at that time had been cleanly razed to the ground.
Only the Palace Lord of the Spirit Jade Palace had brought a few of the palace’s most trusted aides out and no one knew where they had hidden themselves. And it was from that time onwards that the Spirit Jade Palace was gradually removed from being part of the Thirteen Palaces subconsciously, resulting in only the current Twelve Palaces to exist.
After the Spirit Jade Palace went into decline, many people from the other palaces continued to hit them when they were down and out, even openly going against the disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace, constantly trying to suppress the Spirit Jade Palace’s powers that prevented them from returning back to their former glory.
Jun Wu Xie finally understood why those disciples from the Cloud Brook Academy would suddenly come out and provoke that little girl from the Spirit Jade Palace. That bunch of scoundrels from the Cloud Brook Academy must have seen that she was a member of the Spirit Jade Palace and had wanted to take her out!
A power from a thousand years ago that had been in decline till this day. It was not that hard for Jun Wu Xie to see that the little girl just now was completely not a match for that bunch of lechers.
It would only take a few rounds and that little lass would definitely be taken advantage of.
“This one step, should I take it or stay back?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up as she tossed the oversized goof against the wall as she gazed at the cold
and pale moon, the multitude of stars filling up the night sky, every little twinkling speck turning into a chess piece within Jun Wu Xie’s eyes.
The Spirit Jade Palace. A chess piece that had suddenly appeared out of the blue. Should she use it or give up on it?
Jun Wu Xie drew in a deep breath, her heart having already made a decision.
No regrets once the piece is placed.
The situation over there near the weapons shop was turning out just as Jun Wu Xie had predicted. The young girl and the youths from the Cloud Brook Academy had exchanged blows for a couple of rounds and then she had found herself unable to resist against them. Her body was marked with quite a number of wounds and her opponents obviously could have struck her down with one well placed strike but they had instead looked like they were just toying with her, shredding up her clothes into a highly disheveled state, to reduce her into such a wretched looking state.
That kind of a trauma when suffered upon a girl, was more unbearable than anything else!
“Little lady, don’t get so angsty. If you get your body wounded, it’s just going to pain my heart.” The flippant youth said with a arrogant laugh. Up here at the summit of Mount Fu Yao, no one would dare to strike at disciples of the Cloud Brook Academy. There wasn’t even a need to mention that they were upon Mount Fu Yao which was where the Cloud Brook Academy itself was situated, as just the fact that these youths had been fortunate enough to be picked by the powerful Nine Temples and notorious Twelve Palaces would be enough to make common people refrain from getting into any conflict with them.
“Utterly shameless!” The young girl’s face flushed red, hating the fact that she could not strangle that youth to death.
Volume 15
Chapter 1479: “Spirit Jade Palace (3)”
The flippant youth completely ignored the young girl’s curses and surrounded her together with his companions. When the passersby saw that disciples of the Cloud Brook Academy were involved, they all were furious but did not dare speak up, their eyes avoiding the commotion.
“I would like to see whether you will be still have such a sharp tongue in a while.” The youth said and stretched his hand out towards the young girl to grab at her.
But in that instant that his fingers had just touched a corner of the young girl’s clothes, a powerful blast of spirit energy suddenly shot straight towards the youth!
Glowing bright purple, the blast of spirit power swept past like a streak of starry moonlight, forcing the three youths to back away in retreat!
However, before everyone around could see clearly everything that was suddenly happening before their eyes, a black shadow came out from behind a pile of weapons and flashed past to quickly disappear, together with that young girl who was almost going to lose her clothes, who was now nowhere to be seen.
The three youths who had been forced to jump back still had not recovered from the shock as they stared at the spot they had just been standing at a moment before. A long crack had appeared in the ground that spread the entire way up onto the wall, where even the steel blades that had been hanging upon the wall earlier now lay snapped in two from that great blast of spirit power.
The depth of the crack quickly caused everyone in the surrounding crowd to stare helplessly with their mouths hanging open.
In the Middle Realm, Purple Spirits were not that rare to see. The people were able to tell the difference between a faked Purple Spirit and a true Purple Spirit. Moreover, there is also a huge gap between a strong and weak Purple Spirit hence just the colour of one’s spirit power did not mean much anymore.
Just now, that person’s speed had been quick like lightning, avoiding the notice of everyone present, and that kind of a speed was not something an ordinary person would be able to achieve.
“Who….. Who was that just now…..” One of the disciples from the Cloud Brook Academy stammered as his knees shook, and his teeth chattered. If he had moved just a split second slower earlier, his head might be separated from his body now.
The flippant youth who was the leader blew out a long breath, his heart still in shock. “That person wasn’t trying to kill us and his intention was just to force us to retreat. It might have been someone from the Spirit Jade Palace. Forget it, just take it as that little lass got lucky today!”
The flippant youth said all that in a feigned indignant tone, although his heart had been shocked by that black shadow rather badly. That blast had been more powerful than what their teachers back at the academy were capable of. He was just someone who had been picked by the Dragon Slayers Palace and still had not completed his cultivation training here. He had not even attained the true Purple Spirit so how would he be able to go against that shadow?”
No matter who that person was, he was not someone the few of them would be able to take on. The three youths who had just moments before aggressively surrounded the little girl then immediately ducked their heads and blended themselves into the crowd miserably, disappearing quickly from sight.
Under the pale moonlight streaming down, a purple coloured shadow flashed like a light streak, a shadow that blended into the night, silently coming to a stop within a dense forest.
Zi Jin had thought that she would have fallen into the hands of those lechers today but unexpectedly, someone had suddenly appeared at the last moment to bring her away from there. She still clearly remembered what that person had whispered in her ear in that instant he had come to whisk her away.
“Don’t move.”
It was so cold her bones had felt the chill, yet at the same time, it had been highly reassuring.
Zi Jin was put down under a tree, without any unnecessary touch, which put her greatly at ease.
Jun Wu Xie swept her gaze over the torn and tattered clothes upon Zi Jin body and with a flick of her hand, she tossed the cape she used to hide from unfriendly eyes and ears to the little girl.
“Thank you…..” Zi Jin whispered gratefully. She could not see her benefactor’s countenance and was only able to see that back which looked a little thin, standing against the moonlight, His stature was not tall, it was even that tiny bit shorter than she was.
“I wonder why Senior would lend a hand to save me? My humble name is Zi Jin and I wish to express to Senior my gratitude for saving my life.”
Volume 15
Chapter 1480: “Spirit Jade Palace (4)”
Zi Jin’s powers had not broken through to the Purple Spirit yet but she could feel that the person standing before her held very great power.
But when that person slowly turned his head around and the moonlight illuminated that fair skinned countenance, Zi Jin was suddenly stunned.
Not even in her dreams would she ever have thought that the Senior with such unfathomable powers right before her eyes would actually possess the looks of such a young youth.
[How come it’s such a young youth?]
Astonishment was written all over Zi Jin’s face.
Jun Wu Xie’s brows furrowed up slightly together as she looked at Zi Jin who had a rather strange expression on her face, but she still went on to ask softly: “You are a member of the Spirit Jade Palace?”
[A shock ran through Zi Jin’s entire body. The other party’s countenance had been completely not what she expected. For what reason had the other party saved her? Because she was a disciple of the Spirit Jade Palace?]
Seemingly having detected Zi Jin’s nervousness, Jun Wu Xie continued to say in a soft voice: “Don’t worry, I am a friend and not a foe of the Spirit Jade Palace.”
“Senior words are not very clear to me. Can Senior please elaborate?” Zi Jin knew that she was no match for Jun Wu Xie, and there was no chance she would be able to escape. Hence, she herself upon the ground, and lifted up her head to look at the cold and icy Jun Wu Xie.
“The Spirit Jade Palace was once counted among the Twelve Palaces but now has to even suffer the bullying from youths of the Twelve Palaces who are still in training. I am thinking that couldn’t possibly h
ave felt good right?” Jun Wu Xie said monotonously, her words unhurried.
Zi Jin could not help it as her face turned an uglier shade, both her hands clutching tightly the grass upon the ground.
“Angry?” Jun Wu Xie looked calmly into Zi Jin’s eyes that were ablaze and then said slowly: “Once reigning over them but now fallen into a state where your the opponent continues to beat at a drowning dog. Haven’t you guys ever thought of retaliating?”
Zi Jin clenched her jaws tightly together. Although she should not be saying this to a stranger, but every one of Jun Wu Xie’s words had pricked at a nerve.
“Who wouldn’t want to retaliate! ? You’re not us, how do you know the Spirit Jade Palace had not tried to fight back! ? But those scoundrels from the Twelve Palaces had really been too much!” Due to that incident in the Spirit Jade Palace back then, it had greatly reduced their might. They had not even had time to breathe and recuperate when the Twelve Palaces had began oppressing them. After a thousand years, the Spirit Jade Palace which had once enjoyed great fame now no longer existed, just as Jun Wu Xie had said. When disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace like them came out from the palace, Master would always remind them carefully to not reveal their identities as members of the Spirit Jade Palace, deeply afraid that they would be persecuted by the Twelve Palaces.
This time, Zi Jin had coincidentally passed through the Battle of Deities Grand Meet’s venue and was just checking out the situation when she overheard someone loudly spewing highly insulting words without restraint about her sisters from the Heavenly Peak Pavilion and she had not been able to hold herself back.
