He knew very well, any touch on her now will only be harmful and agony to Jun Wu Xie.
Her soul was under merciless assault, Jun Wu Xie gritted her teeth in defiance. Most people might not had had the chance to experience this agonising torment throughout their lives, but she was no stranger to it.
When the little black cat’s soul had merged with hers, she had experienced this indescribable agony.
She had been very young then. When she got off from the operating table, she had lost her human form. Now that she was once again feeling the familiar pain, there was no fear nor dread in her heart.
If she was not afraid of death, this was nothing.
Jun Wu Xie’s defiant streak was stoked, she did not back down, and increased the speed to draw in the spirit.
Kill me if you can, if not, stay down and get devoured!
The Soaring Serpent’s soul thrashed and bashed, refusing to be absorbed by a human. But the spirit barrier totally shut off all his avenues of escape, and under the man’s guidance, he was gradually being drawn into the little human girl’s body!
The Soaring Serpent launched a frenzied attack on Jun Wu Xie’s soul. Humans had weaker souls and he believed that by destroying the little lass’ soul, he would be able to escape!
But Jun Wu Xie’s soul had turned out to be more resilient than it had thought. No matter how he attacked, her seemingly weak and tiny soul had not given in an inch, and had shown absolutely no sign of dissipation.
When Jun Wu Xie had fully drawn in the soul of the Soaring Serpent into her body, Jun Wu Xie’s eyes remained shut.
Her consciousness had fallen together with her soul into an abyss of darkness.
She saw within the darkness, a huge fearsome beast.
It was as enormous as the massive dragons of legend. It’s body was one of a snake, but was endowed with a pair of wings with hooked claws. Its wings were flapping, and it suspended the huge serpent as it hovered in mid air.
Since Jun Wu Xie’s rebirth, among the bestial spirits she had seen, the Golden Lion had been the biggest. But with the Soaring Serpent before her eyes, it’s head alone was more massive than the Golden Lion itself! It’s dominating presence spread as it flaunted its strength.
“Insolent human! You would attempt to devour my soul!?” The Soaring Serpent looked down from its elevated viewpoint, at the tiny Jun Wu Xie on the ground. Jun Wu Xie’s soul was so tiny that a single fang in its mouth was bigger than her!
Jun Wu Xie raised her head, and looked at the tyrannical Soaring Serpent. In those shiny black eyes, was a sea of calm.

Chapter 217: “Breakthrough (5)”
Jun Wu Xie raised her head, and looked at the tyrannical Soaring Serpent. In those shiny black eyes, was a sea of calm.
Jun Wu Xie sat down and crossed her legs in meditation in the darkness, having no intention to combat the Soaring Serpent.
The Soaring Serpent’s arrogance flared, infuriated upon seeing the tiny human soul calmly sit before its majestic presence, seemingly unaffected when she should be cowering in fear.
“You! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll shred you to pieces?” The Soaring Serpent roared.
Jun Wu Xie opened her eyes, completely calm.
“You are in my body, how will you shred me up?”
The Soaring Serpent was stumped. This little lass, wasn’t she being a little too level headed?
It had not been aware of where it was now, but with Jun Wu Xie’s statement, it noticed a significant difference in the air that was different from before….. it was obviously now in the lower three realms!
Within the lower three realms, no contractual ring spirits had even gone beyond the seven levels, not to mention the appearance of one as mighty as it was. Should this human soul not have been frightened senseless and lose her sanity upon laying her eyes on it’s overwhelming presence?
Moreover, how did she know they were inside her body now?
“How do you know?” The Soaring Serpent was stupefied by Jun Wu Xie’s calm demeanor.
Jun Wu Xie had just closed her eyes again when the Soaring Serpent spoke. She opened them again and said impatiently: “You are not the first spirit to have entered, so do not create such a ruckus.”
For anybody else, during their first time absorbing a spirit body, they would have been rather panic stricken, but such encounters to Jun Wu Xie, were not unfamiliar to her.
When the little black cat had fused with her, it had been just like now. This seemingly dark world, was a space within her soul. Her current appearance was just a figment evolved from her soul, just as the Soaring Serpent was. The first time she had come to this space, and saw little black cat for the first time, Jun Wu Xie had experienced the panic and helplessness, but this space had become one that she was familiar with now!
In this dark space within her soul, it was impossible for any unfamiliar souls to cause or inflict harm upon her. All she needed to do now, was to quiet down, and use this space to chip at and divide the Soaring Serpent’s soul bit by bit for its absorption.
The importance of experience!
It was a complete victory by Jun Wu Xie!
The Soaring Serpent stared at Jun Wu Xie sitting calmly on the ground, dumbstruck. It could feel its own soul gradually being digested bit by bit into this lightless space.
The Soaring Serpent lost its cool!
The great Soaring Serpent was to be devoured by a tiny insignificant little lass!?
“Wait! You can’t!” The Soaring Serpent pleaded, it did not want to be devoured!
If it was not for that terrifying man, it would not have sunk so low…..
Jun Wu Xie ignored the cries of the Soaring Serpent, and focused on breaking down the Soaring Serpent’s soul and patiently absorbing it little by little.
Upon being drawn in, the Soaring Serpent had lost any chance of escape. In here, it was only if Jun Wu Xie’s soul backed down, that the Soaring Serpent could escape, if not, it could only accept the fate of being devoured.
Jun Wu Xie had lost track of time when she finally opened her eyes from her meditation. What met her eyes was not the endless darkness, but the familiar sight of her room.
A mischievous voice tinged with a hint of relief sounded from above her head suddenly. “I knew you could do it, and you would be fine.” Having said that, Jun Wu Yao turned the petite figure within his arms around to face him.
Jun Wu Xie’s face was beaded with crystal clear drops of perspiration. Her big round eyes were not fully opened, having not fully awakened. When she became aware of Jun Wu Yao in front of her, she straightened herself and subconsciously looked down at her palm, which emanated an orange glow of spiritual fire.
Volume 3
Chapter 218: “Breakthrough (6)”
The orange glow of her spirit energy, gathered into flames. Bright and radiant, the shade of orange reflected in Jun Wu Xie’s eyes, igniting a ripple of joy and surprise.
“I broke through.” She gasped softly.
“Yes you did, my darling.” Jun Wu Yao planted a light kiss on her forehead, happy to just lightly taste her joy.
His little darling had only recently changed her attitude towards him and he did not want to risk breaking the up beautiful atmosphere between them.
Jun Wu Xie had taken less time than he had expected, and it seemed the process of absorbing the Soaring Serpent had not brought her any difficulties.
He had his eye set on an amazing one!
Advancing from red to an orange spirit, Jun Wu Xie had taken a mere few months. She had shrank the years needed by an average person to such extents, which was absolutely unbelievable.
On the other hand, if Jun Wu Yao had not prepared in advance, Jun Wu Xie might not have achieved a breakthrough so easily.
“You have attained the orange level spirit, the spirit energy required for cultivation and development will increase in folds. You are still young, and there is no need to rush.” Jun Wu Yao raised his hand to smoo
then her hair.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head, the first Snow Lotus had already fully blossomed. After the Snow Lotus bloomed, the spiritual energy they provided decreased. Fortunately, in the past few months, Little Lotus had nurtured a few Snow Lotus seeds and she had enough to use for the moment.
According to the written records in the ancient book, if water from the Heavenly Spring were to be used, the Snow Lotus needed only a month to bloom, which will overshadow the effects that Jade Nectar gave.
Having successfully achieved her breakthrough, Jun Wu Xie was in no hurry to continue with her development and cultivation. While she had absorbed the Soaring Serpent, three days had passed. And in these three days, the changes within the Imperial City had been devastating!
The Qing Yun Clan had disregarded the Imperial Family and had forcefully broken into the Royal Tomb and dug up Jun Gu’s grave.
But no matter how they searched, they found no trace of the Soul Jade. They were about to blow the whole place up!
Jun Wu Xie had not even the time to freshen up before she heard a series of ear splitting explosions. She frowned and grabbed some clothes to cover her from the ravages of the past three days and strode immediately out the door.
“Little Black!”
The little black cat laid just outside the door and upon hearing its Mistress’ call, it transformed into its black beast form and carried Jun Wu Xie upon its back and rushed towards the source of the explosions.
Jun Wu Yao walked out unhurriedly from the room, and his smile faded as he saw the hurried back of Jun Wu Xie.
Who were the insolent tiny insects that dared disrupt the rest of his little darling…..
His dark black eyes gradually tinged with a dangerous violet, and the air in the courtyard hung heavy and suffocating. A shadow who had been hidden in the shadows was stung by Jun Wu Yao’s anger and appeared in a flurry, and knelt before him.
“My Lord!”
“Who was it?” Jun Wu Yao’s mouth was a cold hard line.
“It’s those guys from the Qing Yun Clan.”
“Good. They seem to enjoy toying with death, I shall show them how I play.” Jun Wu Yao’s laughter was chilling. A movement caught the corner of his eyes, and Jun Wu Yao turned his dark violet eyes upon the clambering Little Lotus by the lotus pond.
Little Lotus felt the vicious stare and a shock ran through his entire body. He was minding his own business cultivating within the lotus pond when Jun Wu Yao’s shock wave of anger had caused pains and aches all over his little body. He had transformed into human form to escape from here but it seemed like a Great Demon had his eye on him.
“Get me a jar of Jade Moon.” Jun Wu Yao stood staring at Little Lotus, as he commanded the shadow at his side.
Volume 3
Chapter 219: “Third Slap (1)”
Smoke filled the air outside of Lin Palace. A big group of the Rui Lin Army gathered in front of its gates, and facing them, were ten men from the Qing Yun Clan delegation.
“I say, let’s not waste time. Your weak attempt at resistance is futile, and I’ll advise you to hand over the Soul Jade peacefully and save yourself the pain and humiliation.” A disciple of the Qing Yun Clan turned his wrist around repeatedly, a pair of black half finger gloves covered his hands.
He looked towards the Rui Lin Army soldier whom he had flung to land before the Lin Palace’s gates with a single punch, contempt written across his face.
Behind him, there were three other disciples dressed in the Qing Yun Clan’s livery, and six others dressed in individually different attire who were obviously top exponents from allies of the Qing Yun Clan who accompanied them on this trip to Qi.
The terrified commoners huddled at the side. The chaos had been going on since yesterday when the Qing Yun Clan had suddenly attacked the Lin Palace. If the Rui Lin Army had not arrived in time, the Lin Palace might have fallen to these foreign intruders.
The Rui Lin Army soldiers who gathered in front of the Lin Palace had swelled, numbering in the hundreds, but the Rui Lin Army who had the advantage of numbers, were being systematically oppressed by the group from the Qing Yun Clan.
In just a short day, the Rui Lin Army wounded had gone beyond a hundred, while the Qing Yun Clan had suffered no losses.
At that moment, Jun Xian stood dark faced, surveying the chaos in front of him. They had crossed swords for a long period but only the four Qing Yun Clan disciples from the group had stepped up to fight. The other six had just watched from the sidelines.
The four who had fought, looked about thirty years of age, and they all had level green spirits and beyond.
Judging from quality of the exponents sent, it could be seen that the Qing Yun Clan had placed a rather high priority on retrieving the Soul Jade, as not a single one of them were easy pushovers.
“Father, let me do it.” He had been seated in the wheelchair, and kept up the pretense of being crippled. He could no longer hold down the anger boiling within. Throughout the day, he had been forced to witness soldiers from the Rui Lin Army, brothers in arms to him, wounded and oppressed by the people from the Qing Yun Clan. The knot that had twisted his insides had grown as he sat holding himself back, but now it threatened to explode in his rage.
The Qing Yun Clan was too much!
Jun Xian remained silent, his gaze on the men behind the Qing Yun Clan disciples.
Among the six, the youngest of them had lived beyond a half century, and a few of them looked older than Jun Xian himself. They had stood back, not because of their old age, but because the QIng Yun Clan’s disciples were able to handle the situation they faced and there was no need for their expertise.
Jun Xian was very certain, that among the six at the back, every single one of them was more than a match for him!
Jun Xian had a green leveled spirit, if he were to join forces with the Bone Corroding White Owl, they might be on equal standing with the disciples of the Qing Yun Clan, but…..
The other six, way outclassed Jun Qing by too much.
Jun Xian had held Jun Qing back all this time at a heart wrenching cost of his men in the Rui Lin Army as he had been very certain if he or Jun Qing had partaken in the fight, the other six men would not have stood idly by.
Based on his calculations, the weakest among them, must at least have achieved lower spectrum of the level blue spirit. And once the move, he expected the Lin Palace to fall!
“What? Still not giving up?” The man wearing the black gloves arrogantly raised his chin. His gloves were his contractual ring spirit. With the boost from his ring spirit, he could take down a male lion with a single punch. Ordinary soldiers would not be able to stand up to single punch of his!
“The tiny Lin Palace, should not have arrogantly gone against the Qing Yun Clan, if you persists on your folly, we will bring our wrath upon you.” After a long day’s worth of skirmishes, the disciples of the Qing Yun Clan were getting impatient.
Volume 3
Chapter 220: “Third Slap (2)”
“Since they insist on doing this the hard way, let’s not waste time here. Capture the useless one first, I don’t believe Lin Palace would refuse to hand over the Soul Jade then.” Two of the Qing Yun Clan disciples discussed their plans openly, totally disregarding the presence of the furious Rui Lin Army soldiers and the Jun Family’s father and son.
The ‘useless one’ that they were referring to was none other than Jun Qing who was seated in the wheelchair.
Jun Qing’s eyes grew bloodshot red then, how he yearned to rush up to the two despicable scoundrels and have a glorious fight to the death!
They had not attempted to negotiate nor made any requests. The Qing Yun Clan had come to their gates and attacked without warning. Scattered in front of the gates, many soldiers still lay on the ground gravely injured. They had been hurt by the Qing Yun Clan’s merciless assault, their lives still hanging by a thread!
They had heard of the tyranny of the Qing Yun Clan, and having faced them personall
y today, the stories they heard of the topmost clan rang glaringly true!
“Do not push us too far!” The Rui Lin Army soldiers gripped their sabres in fury, standing protectively in front of Jun Xian and Jun Qing.
They might not be as strong in might as the disciples of the Qing Yun Clan. But their loyalty was not to be questioned!
“If you want to get to my lord, it will have to be over my dead body!” Long Qi stepped to the fore, alone, a cold gleam ran down his sword as he held it horizontally in front.
“Ha ha ha.” The Qing Yun Clan disciple laughed. His laughter was directed sneeringly at an opponent he deemed too weak to stand up to him.
“You? You think you can stop us? If you come seeking death, we’ll grant you your wish. Rest assured, when you guys are dead, I will make sure to step on every one of your bodies, and drag your useless cripple of a lord to the ground, so he can grovel at my feet and plead for his life.”
His insulting tone was felt strongly, like a sharp knife had sliced across the hearts of every single one of the Rui Lin Army soldiers.
The one they had pledged loyalty and devotion to, cannot be subject to such humiliation!
Long Qi shot forward, with sword in hand, the gleam on the sword trailed like lightning that struck at the man who spewed those words that humiliated Jun Qing!
The disciple of the Qing Yun Clan did not back off, and faced Long Qi’s attack squarely. He held two cutlasses in his hands, a manifestation of his weapon spirit. At the moment Long Qi’s sword neared, he crouched down, to avoid the killing thrust, and his agile body flashed to at side, and a cutlass edge bore down towards Long Qi’s body!
In a moment, Long Qi was fully engaged in his fight with the man.
The other Qing Yun Clan disciples stood by and watched on. They were confident the fight will end the same way the previous bouts. It will end up in humiliation for the Rui Lin Army again.
