Talking about this, it’s rather funny. Bullying with his dominant powers and provoking Jun Wu Xie were all initiated by Zhuge Yin’s own doing. And just because Jun Wu Xie was not willing to surrender herself to it, she had instead earned the hatred of Zhuge Yin. Such a petty and narrow minded person, was just too despicable and shameless.
Zhuge Yin did not notice any of the scorn and ridicule hidden behind Fei Yan’s eyes, his mind was only focused upon what had happened today.
“You’re right. There is no need for us to fear the Shadow Moon Palace but that kid played me for a fool today, making me look like a joke in front of everyone, and even smearing the name of the Dragon Slayers Palace as well. Although the might of the Dragon Slayers Palace has been growing consistently, but with the Blood Fiend Palace and the Flame Demons Palace above us, we have not drawn all that much attention to ourselves. But today, that kid had pushed us out into the limelight and I saw the animosity that has risen inside the eyes of the youths from the other palaces against us, which wouldn’t be a good sign at all.” Zhuge Yin massaged the spot between his brows, feeling an ache in his head. He then turned to look at Fei Yan and said.
“Fortunately you dealt with it in a timely fashion, which prevented the situation from worsening, or I wouldn’t know how bad it would have become.”
At that time, Zhuge Yin’s mind had been in a chaotic whirl and he had absolutely no idea how to diffuse the situation till Fei Yan’s appearance showed him a way out.
Volume 18
Chapter 1711: “Played (3)”
“It is in my duty to do that.” Fei Yan said with a laugh, lowering his head slightly to hide the mirth in his eyes.
[Zhuge Yin was even thanking him?]
Unknown to him, the reason for Fei Yan’s appearance was definitely not to show him a way out, but to push Zhuge Yin into a helpless corner with no way out.
Just by claiming that it had all been a joke, to bring the entire matter to a close. But just how heavy handed Zhuge Yin had been against Yue Yi was something that everyone saw clearly. No one would ever believe that he had just been kidding. Having someone from the Dragon Slayers Palace themselves use such a half hearted and superfluous excuse to try to explain it all away had instead just made everyone else feel the Dragon Slayers Palace’s indifference to it.
If Zhuge Yin had instead killed Yue Yi right on the spot, and the people from the other palaces were displeased, they would be quelled by Zhuge Yin’s dominating ways, and not dare to wag their tongues carelessly. Among the Twelve Palaces, there had never been much in the way of righteousness, but just the law of jungle where the predator feeds on the prey, and might reigned supreme. Only by doing that, would the people be cowered, and fearful.
But, by sparing Yue Yi, it would only let the people from the other palaces detect misgivings and panic coming from Zhuge Yin, and not fear him in the slightest as a misconstrued perception filled their minds.
And that was…..
Regardless how strong the Dragon Slayers Palace were, they were still unable to stand up to admonishment from the masses collectively.
That misperception, had never been applicable in the Twelve Palaces.
With the Flame Demons Palace as an example, with just how arrogantly the Flame Demons Palace usually behaved, and the number of disciples from other palaces they had killed too numerous to count, no one dared to bring the matter up onto the table to speak about it, fearing to even question the Flame Demons Palace a single word.
All because they knew, that there would only be one result from any debate or questioning, and that would be….. death!
With Zhuge Yin backing down today, it could not possibly do the Dragon Slayers Palace any good at all, but make everyone feel that the Dragon Slayers Palace had become a bigger threat, and they needed to be suppressed and held down.
And Zhuge Yin was still being so grateful to Fei Yan for the way he had handled the situation. But in the next few days to come, he would then intimately feel, just how severe the consequences could really be by dealing with the matter in that manner.
A tyrant who was not resolute, would only end up overthrown by the mob!
“Father did not make me come to the Pure Grace Palace to invite trouble upon the Dragon Slayers Palace. Little Yan, what happened today has happened. What must we do to make those people change their perception of us?” Zhuge Yin’s thoughts had taken a turn into the wrong direction. He was actually thinking of changing the Dragon Slayers Palace’s image in the eyes of the other palaces.
Fei Yan just felt that his thinking was just too hilarious. Among the Twelve Palaces, only the mighty were able to lord over the others. The weak and frail would only be suppressed and bullied.
However, Fei Yan was not about to remind Zhuge Yin of that fact but he instead replied: “About that….. I do not know how to deal with that as well. I….. have just been accepted into the palace for a short period and this is the first time I have encountered something like this. But doesn’t everyone also say harmony begets harmony in all matters?”
Zhuge Yin was silent for a while, thinking through Fei Yan’s words.
“Don’t tell me that I am expected to go show goodwill to those guys from the Shadow Moon Palace?”
[Harmony begets harmony?]
Just the thought of that face on Jun Wu Xie was making him wish he could strangle her to death. Wanting him to go shake hands and make peace with those guys from the Shadow Moon Palace was something that Zhuge Yin would not be able to accomplish no matter what.
“Maybe not to that extent. The Young Lord would just need to stop finding trouble with them intentionally and allow everyone else time to gradually forget about the matter. Think that might work?” Fei Yan suggested, pretending to looking unsure.
Zhuge Yin found the logic highly sound as he nodded his head, never noticing the faint suspicious smile at the very corners of Fei Yan’s mouth.

Zhuge Yin found the logic highly sound as he nodded his head, never noticing the faint suspicious smile at the very corners of Fei Yan’s mouth.
On another side, Jun Wu Xie led Zi Jin and the others back to her room.
Zi Jin was holding up the semi conscious Yue Yi the entire way, her body stained red from head to toe in Yue Yi’s blood. The heavy stench of blood made the still rather innocent little girl brim up with tears, flowing down her face silently as she followed Jun Wu Xie back to her room.
Once inside the room, Zi Jin immediately laid Yue Yi upon the bed, and then stood stood staring at her blood stained hands, standing frozen beside the bed.
She had never seen, so much blood.
The Spirit Jade Palace, had always remained hidden within Mount Fu Yao and their disciples seldom ventured out. Towards the strife happening outside, they only knew a little about it in their minds, most of it mere guesswork as they had never seen it happen with their own eyes. And everything that had happened today, had happened so suddenly, a little too suddenly which made Zi Jin a little flustered.
When Yue Yi was forced to step up onto the arena stage, she did not know what she was supposed to do, and could do nothing but just worry silently as she stood below.
She could still remember the kind of resolve she had seen in Yue Yi’s eyes when Yue Yi stood right before the stage.
Though her relationship with Yue Yi was merely one of cooperation, but over this period they had interacted with each other, it had made the innocent young girl see Yue Yi as a companion. Seeing with her own eyes Yue Yi having suffered such great torment and she could not do anything about it, her heart filled with a kind of guilt that burned like a blazing ball of fire.
But at that moment, no one had the time to go soothe this young girl who had just witnessed the cruelty of the world for the first time.
The large amount of blood loss had caused Yue Yi to turn white as a sheet. Jun Wu Xie was at the bedside quickly assessing Yue Yi’s injuries and
feeding him a life replenishing elixir to hold his heart meridian steady, preventing him from losing his life before he could even receive treatment.
After having properly assessed Yue Yi’s injuries, the suppressed rage Jun Wu Xie had held down within her almost burst out from her chest.
The wounds, big and small upon Yue Yi’s body were too numerous to count and they were wounds that would not take a person’s life in an instant, but ones that were aimed to make a person suffer the agony of highly excruciating pain. The injuries were very severe and if it had been anyone else, even if they were able to let Yue Yi keep his life, they would not be able to retain the spirit powers within his body.
Zhuge Yin had not only struck Yue Yi’s internal organs, the severe injuries inflicted upon his meridians were highly targeted. Zhuge Yin was seeking to destroy Yue Yi’s foundation at the core!
When a person’s body was injured, one could be treated and nursed back to health
Even when one’s spirit powers were completely dispersed, as long as their meridians were intact, one would still be able to spend the same amount of time to cultivate once more based on their innate gift and talents. But once one’s meridians were destroyed, it destroyed one’s foundation. Even if they nursed their body back to health, it would no longer be possible for them to continue to cultivate their spirit powers.
Such cruel and malicious ways just sent chills up people’s spines.
Zhuge Yin had obviously already wanted to kill Yue Yi, but he had still maliciously seeked to destroy all hope for Yue Yi.
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes turned exceptionally bright under the raging blaze of rage burning in her. She did not open her mouth to say a word, but just silently pulled out her needle pouch and a heap of elixirs from her Cosmos Sack.
Long silver needles were administered upon the major acupoints all over Yue Yi’s body, sealing up his meridians that flowed backwards, to prevent the tyrannical surge of power from causing anymore damage.
Volume 18
Chapter 1713: “Saving a Life (2)”
The unconscious Yue Yi did not show the slightest reaction but laid straight and stiff upon the bed. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, people would readily assume that he was dead.
Jun Wu Yao had his arms crossed as he stood leaning on one side, a faint smile on his lips as he watched the fully focused and determined Jun Wu Xie, her bright eyes at that moment making him think she looked most beautiful.
Bottle after bottle of elixirs were poured out by Jun Wu Xie and fed into Yue Yi’s mouth, where the heavy blood loss by Yue Yi then finally showed signs of stopping.
Jun Wu Xie did not dare to delay in the slightest as her hands flew incessantly in the air in a mesmerizing dance, treating the damage to Yue Yi’s body one after another.
A person who had originally been a gory mess, had in a short period of time gained back a little bit of life under Jun Wu Xie’s hands. Zi Jin who watched in a daze at the side, found it hard to believe that Jun Wu could possess such amazing skills.
The entire live saving process went on for half a day’s time. After half a day had passed, Yue Yi’s breathing then gradually grew steady, like he was just asleep as he lay upon the bed, but Jun Wu Xie still did not pull out the silver needles stuck into his body.
Till the treatment finally came to an end, Jun Wu Xie then stood up, her pair of fair hands stained red with blood as she took a step backwards.
“Jun….. Fif….. Fifth….. Fifth Junior, how is Yue Yi’s condition?” Zi Jin had stood quietly at the side, staring nervously throughout the entire process. Jun Wu’s medical skills was stronger than anyone else she had ever seen and if she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not be able to believe that Jun Wu could possibly possess such great skills in Medicine.
“His condition is stable for now, but he will need to undergo another round of treatment.” Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly. Although Yue Yi’s injuries were highly severe, it was still not beyond her. But as his injuries cover over too wide an area over his body collectively, if she were to clean up and deal with them all at one go, Yue Yi’s highly weakened body might not be able to hold up under the entire treatment process. Hence, she had dealt with the most critical areas first, while the rest would have to wait till Yue Yi gained back a little bit of his strength before she continued to work on them.
Zi Jin looked at Jun Wu rather hesitantly, looking a little solemn as she bit on her lip.
Jun Wu Xie walked over to the side towards the wash basin, and slowly cleaned off the bloodstains on her hands.
This colour and stench that she highly abhorred, would for a long time in the future continue to stay close to her. She wouldn’t be able to avoid it, and she could only bear with it.
Watching the bloodstains on her hands slowly dispersing within the water, Jun Wu Xie stared at the water’s surface for a while before her voice suddenly sounded as she asked: “Regarding what happened today, how did it come about?”
When she had been rushing towards the arena stage, she had bumped into Zi Jin. But as the situation had been highly urgent, Zi Jin had not been too detailed with what she told her, but merely said that Zhuge Yin had for some unknown reason, suddenly just came to seek Yue Yi.
“I….. I do not know what exactly happened as well. I was with Yue Yi below the arena stage watching people from the various palaces battling each other. We were watching the matches when that Zhuge Yin suddenly came walking over to us, and there had not been any warning signs before it. After he came over, he went on to taunt Yue Yi to go up upon the stage continuously. In the beginning, Yue Yi had declined politely but that Zhuge Yin had then started making an issue about Elder Yue and Yue Yi’s sister which finally left Yue Yi with no other choice but to go up onto the stage.” When talking about that, Zi Jin;s heart then flared with rage. Zhuge Yin had been like a rabid dog who suddenly jumped right in front of them, catching them completely unprepared.
Jun Wu Xie’s brows creased up slightly. Zhuge Yin’s actions had really been rather incomprehensible and having this incident suddenly occur was completely out of anything she could have expected.
Volume 18
Chapter 1714: “Saving a Life (3)”
Just as Jun Wu Xie had thought before, the reason she had picked the Shadow Moon Palace to “rob”, was because she had checked and found that the Shadow Moon Palace did not command much of a presence or even existence among the Twelve Palaces. Because they were too weak and did not pose to be a threat to them, the bigger palaces could not even be bothered to find trouble with them. Moreover, the Shadow Moon Palace had always conformed to the norms and did not seek to antagonize anyone, that was why she had chosen to come here as a disciple of the Shadow Moon Palace as a false front.
But she had not thought that having come to the Pure Grace Palace for just barely two days and Zhuge Yin from the Dragon Slayers had come knocking on their doors.
Jun Wu Xie had not missed the kind of displeasure and arrogance Zhuge Yin had displayed after she arrived and that was not a normal reaction that a person would usually show a complete stranger.
[Could it be that she has somehow unknowingly offended him?]
Jun Wu Xie sieved through her memory of every one of her actions from the moment she had first stepped into the Pure Grace Palace but she still did not have the slightest inkling. She had not come into any form of contact with Zhuge Yin and the one time she had gone closest to him was merely that night at the welcoming banquet, where they had sat in the same banquet hall. Moreover, she had left the place for a long period halfway through the banquet and she really could not think of a single suspicious situation where she could have provoked Zhuge Yin to invite such animosity from him.
“Did the two of you come into any form of contact with Zhuge Yin today?” Jun Wu Xie could not find any suspicious point on her side so she could only try to find any kind of a breach from Zi Jin and Yue Yi.
Zi Jin shook her head.
“We stayed r
ight at the back of the crowd at that time and did not interact with anyone else.” This was a point that Zi Jin was very certain of. She was a disciple of the Spirit Jade Palace and she held a deep grudge against the Twelve Palaces, which made her fear having her identity exposed, causing her to not dare get too close to anyone.
Yue Yi had a highly silent and reclusive personality and the two of them did not have much of a presence among the crowd.
“Before Zhuge Yin came to seek you, who did he speak to?” Jun Wu Xie continued to ask.
However, Zi Jin still shook her head. “I was watching the ongoing match on the arena stage so I do not know…..”
[How could she have thought that just by watching a match on one side would bring them so much trouble?]
[If she had known it would turn out like this, it would have been better she did not even go there in the first place.]
Towards Yue Yi’s injuries, Zi Jin was feeling highly guilty inside. With regards to the invitation from the Pure Grace Palace on that day, Yue Yi had initially not intended to go. But Zi Jin had wanted to use this opportunity to gain a better understanding of the situation within the Twelve Palaces but did not dare to forcibly drag Jun Wu to go with her, hence, she could only go beg Yue Yi and Yue Yi had only gone there all because of her.
In the end…..
Zi Jin hung her head, looking as guilty as a child who had done something wrong.
If not for her, how would Yue Yi come to meet with a mishap?
If Yue Yi had not gone there today, even if Yue Yi sought to find trouble with Yue Yi, he would not have had the chance.
