Although they did not know how Ye Sha had resurrected, but to a man, having to hide behind someone else’s back to live in cowardice was to them just completely unbearable humiliation!
“What is going on here?” Fan Zhuo asked, becoming more confused.
Fei Yan and Rong Ruo knew very clearly about the encounter that Jun Wu Xie, Qiao Chu and Hua Yao had met with in the Cloudy Peaks but Fan Zhuo knew nothing about it. Now that they have stumbled upon the people from the Flame Demons Palace, Rong Ruo explained what had happened before to Fan Zhuo.
Fan Zhuo’s face then immediately contorted in rage.
“The Twelve Palaces are truly getting more and more audacious!”
“The relationship between the Nine Temples and the Twelve Palaces have always been subtle and the Four Sides have always withdrawn themselves from the strife. When the Dark Regions stopped getting involved with the affairs of the Middle Realm, the people that were happiest about it were the Twelve Palaces, thinking that they could grab at the opportunity to control everything?” Fei Yan said, his voice a cold sneer.
As the youths carried on with their conversation, none of them noticed that Little Jue whom Jun Wu Xie was carrying in her arms was also looking at them, every single one of their words floating into the little boy’s ears and his scarlet eyes suddenly flashed with a strange glint.
“Little Big Brother, painful?” Little Jue raised his head, looking mournfully at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie replied: “It’s not painful anymore.”
Little Jue lowered his head, and it was not known what he was thinking about. His spirit was not complete and whether he was able to fully understand all that Rong Ruo said was another question.
……
At the Heaven’s End Cliff’s top, two factions were engaged in battle and the light from Purple Spirits lit up the air!
The stench of blood grew thicker spreading out further. There were deaths suffered from both sides but no matter how many of them fell, they had no intention of stopping in the least as the fierce battle ground on.
“You people from the Flame Demons Palace are just too outrageous. Do you think there is no one left in Palace of All Life! ?” A man who had been pushed back in retreat from a palm strike was looking rather pale as he clutched at his chest, his eyes glaring fiercely at the grey robed man in front of him.
The grey robed man stood with his arms behind his back, his cold gaze filled with disdain.
Standing behind the grey robed man, a man dressed in green then said with a sneer: “No matter how many people you have, just come at us! The Flame Demons Palace would not fear you!”
The two groups of people from the Flame Demons Palace and the Palace of All Life had encountered each other on the Heaven’s End Cliff and their purpose was clear. The people from the Palace of All Life had thought that the opposing party would not want to blow up the incident like them and had not expected that upon the moment they met, the people from the Flame Demons Palace would attack them immediately. They attacked fiercely, everything single strike lethal, catching the people from the Palace of All Life completely unprepared as they scrambled to defend themselves!
What made things worse for them was that the grey robed man from the Flame Demons Palace was terrifyingly powerful!
The two different parties had a similar amount of people and their overall might was about the same. But the Flame Demons Palace had an explosively powerful man in grey robes and with just his power alone, he had exterminated quite a number of men from the Palace of All Life. That had pushed the people from the Palace of All Life back on the defensive.
Looking at the number of their people dwindling, the leader of the party from the Palace of All Life was beginning to become more anxious.
“Pooh! If not for the fact that you have one of your Elders with you, do you think that you will be able to hold us back? !”
[Translator’s Note: Did I use Palace of All Living or Palace of All Life back then? Can’t seem to find it…]

Chapter 1290: “Revisiting the Heaven’s End Cliff (8)”
The man dressed in green arched up an eyebrow as he stared at the man whose face was turning more and more pale and said with a laugh: “You can’t blame anyone for that but fault your own Elder for not being close to your men. Elder Hui here really cares for each and every one of us here in the Flame Demons Palace and for something as important as this, he had naturally come with us here.”
The man from the Palace of All Life continued to glare at the man dressed in green, wishing he could leap over to tear that man into shreds.
“Although the Palace of All Life and the Flame Demons Palace aren’t exactly allies, but we have never been hostile to each other. Why is Elder Hui suddenly attacking us so maliciously?” He could only hope to be able to convince Elder Hui as if this battle was allowed to play out to its end, they would definitely end up completely defeated!
Elder Hui stared coldly at the man and did not say a word, looking like he could not be bothered to waste his breath on the man.
It was instead the man dressed in green who said with a laugh: “Never been hostile? Do you really think we do not know it? When the Palace of All Life were not able to find the location of the Dark Emperor’s tomb, you had schemed in all manner of ways to snatch the maps the other seven palaces held in their hands. It has been noticed that in these recent years, the Palace of All Life had been actively moving about in the Lower Realm.”
The man from the Palace of All Life was taken aback in shock, and a slight tinge of guilt came into his eyes.
The Dark Emperor’s tomb was too hard to find and the many elites they had sent down here in the beginning had not returned at all. But seven other palaces among them had acquired for themselves a portion of the map to the Dark Emperor’s tomb and that had pressured the Palace of All Life greatly. The Twelve Palaces had held a fairly equivalent amount of power among them and had always been about neck to neck. But all the various palaces among them had always seeked to overturn that situation wanting to wield authoritative power over the Twelve Palaces.
And the treasures and magical artifacts buried within the Dark Emperor’s tomb would one such chance for all of them!
“Though it should not be unexpected for the Palace of All Life to want to do that, but out of all the undesirable things you did, you really shouldn’t have chosen to go against our Flame Demons Palace.” The man dressed in green said with a sudden glint in his eye!
“What do you mean by that!” The man from the Palace of All Life asked quickly in surprise.
The man in green then said: “The Flame Demons Palace handed our portion of the map to the Qing Yun Clan in the Lower Realm but the Qing Yun Clan was suddenly cleanly obliterated by someone in a blink. We then found out that the method that was employed there had a situation exactly like what it would be like after the Palace of All Life uses their poison. Do you really think that we do not dare to do anything to do after that? You dared to seize the property of the Flame Demons Palace, and you are then destined to pay for it with your life!”
That day, the man in green and Elder Hui had made their way to the Cloudy Peaks and had not expected to encounter with an unexpected situation which gave them no choice at that time but to have to return to the Middle Realm. Never had they expected that when they came to the Cloudy Peaks once again, they discovered that their chosen pawn, the Qing Yun Clan, had been completely obliterated in an extremely short period of time, where every single disciple throughout the Qing Yun Clan was poisoned!
The Flame Demons Palace had initially selected the Qing Yun Clan because the Qing Yun Clan was a highly stable and revered force in the Lower Realm. They had seem unshakable at that time but the Qing Yun Clan was suddenly wiped out and the map they had left with the Qing Yun Clan had gone missing!
One must then ask, with the Qing Yun Clan being the most vaunted clan that specialized in Medicine, who in the Lower Realm would be able to wipe th
em out completely like that?
Among the Twelve Palaces, besides the Palace of All Life who was most well known for poisons, they couldn’t think of anyone else!
Wiping out the Qing Yun Clan entirely, was not a feat that someone from the Lower Realm would be capable of and the Flame Demons Palace had immediately locked their sights upon the Palace of All Life!
Now that they’ve met them, how could they possibly allow these people from the Palace of All Life to live! ?
The man from the Palace of All Life stared with his eyes wide and his mouth open in incredulity. He had not known about this matter at all! If the Palace of All Life had really gotten the map, how could it be possible that he would know nothing about it? This was obviously a misunderstanding!
However, just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, a tall and slender figure suddenly appeared in between the two groups of people!
Volume 13
Chapter 1291: “Settling the Score (1)”
“Who are you! ?” The man in green asked with his face creased up in a frown as he stared at Jun Wu Yao who had suddenly appeared. He carelessly assumed that the man was someone from the Lower Realm and the glow from his Purple Spirit flared out wide, fully prepared to eradicate this random person who was in their way.
But before he could make a move, Elder Hui who was standing right beside him suddenly held him down by his shoulder.
“Elder Hui?” The man in green questioned in puzzlement as he looked at Elder Hui.
Elder Hui’s eyes narrowed up as he stared with his eyes fixed upon Jun Wu Yao.
“Don’t make any rash moves.” Elder Hui said in a cold voice.
“Why?” The man in green was confused. Even for the people from the Palace of All Life, they had immediately move to kill in the first instance. Facing just a man from the Lower Realm now and Elder Hui was asking them to not act rashly?
“Look there.” Elder Hui stuck out his chin to point and the eyes of the man in green looked in that direction, his gaze moving down from Jun Wu Yao’s face to his feet!
Suddenly, he realized that Jun Wu Yao’s feet were not touching the ground, but he was levitating off the ground, about a palm width above.
With that one look, the man in green was immediately bathed in cold sweat.
The man from the Palace of All Life panted heavily as he stared at Jun Wu Yao, and he noticed the strange phenomenon upon Jun Wu Yao.
Just like the man in green, he was similarly shocked!
Levitation could only be used by extraordinary people and throughout the entire Twelve Palaces, besides the Twelve Palace Lords, none others are capable of that technique. Moreover, even for all the various Palace Lords, they could only levitate for short periods of time where it was achieved through gathering their spirit powers below their feet and they could only maintain it for very short periods. But the man before their eyes was blatantly using it as replacement for walking and what terrified him even more was that he was unable to detect the slightest trace of spirit power from the man.
In an instant, the people from the Flame Demons Palace and the Palace of All Life were made immediately aware, no matter what the identity of the man before them really was, he possessed power beyond that of their respective Palace Lords themselves!
That one point was enough to drive terror deep into their hearts.
Although the Twelve Palace Lords in the MIddle Realm were not considered to be peerless and invincible, but they were already considered to be part of the elites. There weren’t many who could surpass them and anyone who did hold power stronger than them, would possess similarly powerful backgrounds.
Right at that moment, regardless whether it was the people from the Flame Demons Palace or the Palace of All Life, they were all not dumb enough to go challenge Jun Wu Yao in any way.
The clash and clatter of drawn weapons that had filled the area just a moment before, had immediately disappeared without a trace with the appearance of Jun Wu Yao.
“May I ask the identity of this esteemed stranger? The Flame Demons Palace had to deal with a little private issue today and if we’ve offended you in any way, allow me to ask for your understanding.” The highly cold and arrogant Elder Hui suddenly turned highly deferential and his tone of voice became polite and amicable.
Jun Wu Yao’s face had a devilish smile upon it and his gaze swept over the people from the Flame Demons Palace but did not say a single word.
His silence made the people standing atop the Heaven’s End Cliff even more nervous.
After a while, Ye Mei and Ye Sha finally caught up and lined themselves on both sides of Jun Wu Yao.
However, the instant Ye Sha and Ye Mei appeared, the man in green and Elder Hui’s faces immediately changed!
Isn’t that man the black robed one who had imploded himself in sacrifice back at the Cloudy Peaks? Didn’t he die that time when his body blew up into a million pieces? How….. did he come to appear here now?
The man in green was suddenly in a panic. He attempted to tell himself that the man he was seeing was not the same one he encountered back in the Cloudy Peaks, but no matter which way he looked at it, that man’s face was exactly the same as the one he had seen back in the Cloudy Peaks! And even his clothes and demeanor was exactly the same!
What really made him even more fearful, were the words Jun Wu Yao then asked that man!
Volume 13
Chapter 1292: “Settling the Score (2)”
“Are those two men here?” Jun Wu Yao asked in a highly casual voice.
Jun Wu Yao’s question caused the heart of the man in green rise to shoot up, lodging in the back of his throat, and making his entire body break out in cold sweat.
[Those two men?]
[What two men! ?]
That question had made the man in green to suddenly think of the time he and Elder Hui had attacked Ye Sha!
Ye Sha slowly raised his head and his chillingly cruel gaze swept over the man in green and Elder Hui before he said: “They’re present.” Immediately upon saying that, he raised his hand and pointed his finger at the man in green and Elder Hui.
With Ye Sha’s finger pointed at them, it immediately caused the hearts of the man in green and Elder Hui to drop to the bottom of the ravine. They turned instinctively to look at Jun Wu Yao and they saw that corners of Jun Wu Yao’s mouth had curled up into a chillingly devilish smile, a smile that sent shivers deep into their bones.
“This is just a misunderstanding! Please hear us out and allow us to explain!” Suddenly overwhelmed with fear, the man in green quickly said in a hurry. For some reason, just looking at Jun Wu Yao’s gaze had made him realize that he was doomed. Fear like he never felt before spread to every inch of his body which made his voice tremble slightly.
“Oh?” An eyebrow on Jun Wu Yao’s face lifted, the sinister smile never once leaving his face, obviously in no hurry to make his move.
And Jun Wu Yao’s single syllable query in reply was latched on by the man in green like it was his last ray of hope to live.
“We….. We were only seeking to capture that youth who possessed a plant spirit that day and we had absolutely no intention of making things difficult for our brother here, and had never even dreamed of wanting to hurt him at all! That day….. That day, although our Elder injured him, but we had never seeked to take his life but had merely wanted to stop him from interfering with our mission…..” The man in green stuttered in a shaky voice, nothing like the arrogant person he was when he had been talking to the people from the Palace of All Life.
Jun Wu Yao just looked at him smilingly.
The man in green couldn’t fathom what Jun Wu Yao was thinking and he did not dare to say another word.
The colour on Elder Hui’s face had turned a highly ugly shade.
Jun Wu Yao remained silent for a while and then suddenly said with a laugh: “From what you’ve told me, both of you were only intending to kill that little youth who possessed a plant spirit?”
&nb
sp; The man in green thought that he had just found a crevice to turn the whole thing around and he quickly nodded vehemently.
“That’s right, our target had always been to only snatch that plant spirit and we’ve never wanted to hurt the innocent. The Flame Demons Palace would never allow us to act rashly but our brother here had chosen to self implode on his own that day…..” At that moment, the man in green was just anxious to resolve the matter and he wanted to have absolutely nothing to do with this terrifying man before their eyes.
Hearing the explanation given by the man in green, the people from the Palace of All Life sneered in derision.
“The Flame Demons Palace would never allow you to act rashly? That must be the biggest joke I have ever heard! The Flame Demons Palace have always been arrogant in their ways and that is a fact that is widely known throughout the Middle Realm. Why had this brother here chosen to self implode? If you had not forced him into a corner with no other way out, how could he possibly choose to make such a choice!” The man from the Palace of All Living said in a voice dripping with contempt. Although he was no match for the people from the Flame Demons Palace here, but he was not a dumb person. The mysterious man from unknown origins obviously had some form of conflict with the two men from the Flame Demons Palace and he would naturally not miss this great opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
If he was able to anger the man enough to lash out and destroy the people from the Flame Demons Palace, then they would be saved from their crisis,
The man in green had tried so hard to finally appease the terrifying man and seeing the man from the Palace of All Life driving the wedge further with his venomous words, he immediately felt the scalp on his head crawl. He then rushed to shout loudly: “You must not shoot off your mouth so carelessly! Our Flame Demons Palace had always been careful to stay within the boundaries and would never pick a fight unnecessarily!”
