Yue Ye stood at Yue Yi’s side, quietly staring at all these people swirling around Jun Wu Xie, biting on her nails nervously.
“Big Brother, Master actually has so many companions?” Yue Yi raised her head up to ask, suddenly unable to get used to it. Back in the Shadow Moon Palace, her Master only had her by her Master’s side and her silent Master had seemed to be completely isolated from the rest of the world.
“That seems to be the case.” Yue Yi was not certain either. Jun Wu Xie had an extremely cold personality and he had not thought that with Jun Wu Xie’s temperament, so many companions would so suddenly appear around her, and from the conversation between them, they seem to be rather close.
Which just made people envious.
Jun Wu Xie was watching her companions teasing each other when her gaze suddenly fell upon the siblings Yue Yi and Yue Ye standing at the corner. She raised her hand and beckoned at Yue Ye.
Yue Ye went walking over a little nervously.
All of Master’s companions looked so outstanding that she was suddenly feeling rather inferior. As someone who had been so wretched before, does she really have the right to take Jun Wu Xie as her Master?
Yue Ye might seem to be a highly mischievous imp, but in her heart, she hid a strong inferiority complex and that was also the reason she still had not acknowledged Elder Ying. For a young child, her mind was when it was most fragile and her inferiority complex made her not dare to touch anything that was beautiful.
She felt that she was not worthy.
Jun Wu Xie stood up, and holding Yue Ye tiny hand, she walked over to stand before Yan Bu Gui.
“Master, this is my disciple.” Jun Wu Xie opened her mouth to say.
Yue Ye was taken aback, her tiny shoulders could not help but start to shake. She had thought that Jun Wu Xie would introduce her to Jun Wu Xie’s Master in such a manner as she had always felt that there was too large a gap between her and Jun Wu Xie.
Yan Bu Gui looked at the violently trembling Yue Ye and he said with a laugh: “I have a grandkid disciple already? That’s great. There’s no need to be afraid little fella, I just look scary, I will not hurt you.”

Yue Ye shrank her head back into her shoulders, looking rather bashful.
Qiao Chu immediately jumped right out.
“Little Ye, you do not have to be afraid. Although our Master looks ugly, he has a very tender heart. Oww!” The moment Qiao Chu’s words left his mouth, he was thrown to the ground by a kick from from Yan Bu Gui.
“What do you mean by I look ugly! ?” Yan Bu Gui hollered as his eyes glared fiercely. [How was he ugly! ?]
“That’s right! Our Master’s looks is termed as manly. What do you know?” Fei Yan went on to fan the flames eagerly on the side.
Qiao Chu rubbed at his sore behind and threw Fei Yan a fierce gaze.
“Grand….. Grandmaster….. Hello….” Yue Ye said timidly.
Yan Bu Gui had never seen such an adorable little fellow, that soft and mushy voice causing his heart to blossom with joy, needless to say how delighted his face had been with smiles.
“Good good good. What a obedient child.”
[See here. This is what a little toddler girl should be like. Now look at the two female disciples he has under him.]
Look at Jun Wu Xie….. still so young and already so steady, who had always made Yan Bu Gui feel that he had picked up a disciple for free, without having to do a single thing.
And then look at Rong Ruo….. Yan Bu Gui clutched his hand to his chest.
In the beginning when she had just been brought in, she had also been a sensible and obedient little girl. How did she turn out like this…..
He clearly already had two females disciples already, but it was only after he saw Yue Ye that Yan Bu Gui truly understood what a female disciple should be like.
Yue Ye was still a little nervous but unfortunately for her, it was long before she was snatched away by Qiao Chu and Fei Yan to have the poor little thing address them as Uncle Master. In order to coax the imp to address them as Uncle Master, the two of them had even taken out quite a haul of things, quickly stuffing a small pile of treasures into Yue Ye’s hands.
Yue Ye had not expected to receive such a passionate welcome as she turned to look at her elder brother, a little dazed. Yue Ye nodded his head slightly at her, his eyes filled with a comforted smile.
“I had no given anything back in the Shadow Moon Palace and since you’re Wu Xie’s disciple, it will only be natural I have to show some kind of indication.” Jun Qing who had been smiling the entire time without a word suddenly opened his mouth to say, where Yue Ye then blinked her eyes blankly to come walking over to Jun Qing with her arms overflowing with gifts.
Jun Qing’s countenance had just that one tiny bit of similarity to Jun Wu Xie’s, looking handsome and gentle that did not make people nervous. He smiled charmingly, which quietly soothed the nerves in Yue Ye’s heart.
Jun Qing took out a jade pendant, and placed it in Yue Ye’s hand.
“This was originally prepared for your Master, but looking at her, I think she would have no use for it. It is now just right for you instead.” Jun Qing said with a smile.
Yue Ye stared, bedazzled by that smile.
The countenance of the Jun Family’s members were all unparalleled or Jun Wu Xie would not possess looks that could bring ruin to cities and countries, and Jun Qing was naturally the same.
Till everyone who was supposed to give her a gift had finished, nothing else could fit into Yue Ye arms anymore and she had no choice but to have Yue Yi help her carry a portion of her load.
The night grew deep and everyone went back into their rooms to rest. They knew that a big battle awaited them the next morning and they needed to preserve their energy and keep their spirit.
After everyone went back and fell into peaceful sleep, there were two people who would not be able to find peaceful rest.
In the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord’s room, the air was filled with the thick stench of blood. He sat upon a chair, a flask of strong fiery wine clasped in his hand. His bloodshot eyes were narrowed to a slit as he stared at the garishly bloodied figure tied upon the rack.
Gu Ying had been stripped of his shirt and tied to the rack, his taut chest filled with brand new wounds, hot red blood flowing out continuously from those wounds.
In just a few short hours, he already looked a completely different person from when he was taken away from the banquet. There was no sign of his lavish clothes, replaced only by wicked looking wounds covered under bright red blood.

Chapter 1908: “Incoming Storm Expected (5)”
“Stop!” The Dragons Slayers Palace Lord raised his hand up slightly and the disciple carrying out the torture then put down the instrument of torment to stand aside .
Gu Ying’s handsome face was covered with wounds and there almost wasn’t a single piece of flesh that was still whole on him. It was hard to imagine that within such a short period of time, the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord was able to torment him to such an extent but even so, Gu Ying’s face still had that taunting smile of ridicule hanging upon his face.
“You can still laugh?” The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord asked, eyeing coldly Gu Ying’s smile that was filled with ridicule, a smile that the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord found highly offensive to his eyes.
“You are only capable of this little bit? That’s not enough. If you can’t come up with any other kinds of torture, I am going to fall asleep.” The corners of Gu Ying’s lips curled up, as he raised his chin slightly to say in arrogance, not showing the slightest bit of wretchedness of one held in captivity.
The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord clenched his jaws as he looked at Gu Ying, and then turned around to pick up the wine flask upon the table, before he poured the fiery spirits all over Gu Ying’s wounds.
Excruciating burning pain spread throug
h his body in an instant and Gu Ying’s face turned slightly pale, but he continued to smile.
“We don’t have the complete set of equipment here. You just wait patiently. When we get back to the Dragon Slayers Palace, I will let you have a taste of every single kind of torture there is under these Heavens and I guarantee that you will not fall asleep from them.” The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord used the thin and long spout of the flask and pushed it into a wound on Gu Ying’s belly. The flask’s spout pierced through skin, burrowing into flesh. The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord turned the flask wilfully, and a good amount of blood flowed out from the wound.
“Then I shall be looking forward to that.” Gu Ying said through gritted teeth, enduring through the pain as he said with a smile.
The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord laughed sneeringly.
“What a completely shameless bastard. I saw quite a number of wounds upon your body, your days in the Blood Fiend Palace hasn’t been all that good has it? That has to be it. How could that scoundrel Gu Yi possibly allow a bastard like you have a good life. How much have you done for the Blood Fiend Palace? And hadn’t he still treated you like he would a dog to hand you over to me? You’re just so pitiful.”
Gu Ying narrowed his eyes.
The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord then snorted with derision and said: “Your days ahead will not be good for you. I will not kill you so quickly but have you live forever in pain. You can just look forward to dwell in suffering under my hands!”
Upon saying that, he turned his head to say to the two disciples carrying out the torture: “You two had better “serve” our Big Young Master well and not let him get bored.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
The Dragon Slayers Palace Lord then left the room after saying that, no longer remaining in there.
The sounds of torture rang out within the room once again and Gu Ying tilted his head to stare at the ceiling, allowing all the cruel torture to be implemented upon his body, his face not showing the slightest bit of expression.
Two whole hours passed and it was already deep into the night.
The hands of the two disciples executing the torture had gone numb as they stood panting heavily at the side. They had been in charge of carrying out torture back in the Dragon Slayers Palace and they had caused the deaths of many disciples who did not adhere to the rules, very much used to seeing people pleading and begging in pain. But it was the first time they were seeing someone like Gu Ying whom did not succumb to anything they threw at him. They were already dead tired but Gu Ying had not uttered a single sound, as if he did not feel the slightest tinge of pain.
“You’re not going to continue?” Gu Ying asked as he looked at the two disciples, his mirth filled eyes sending a chill to run through the bodies of the two disciples.
Before those two people could open their mouths, a black shadow suddenly rushed in through the window. The two disciples had not even been able to see what the other party looked like when their throats were slit and they fell into a pool of their own blood.
“Young Lord! You’ve suffered too much.” The black robed man immediately undid restrains binding Gu Ying, and fell to his knees to say.
Volume 20
Chapter 1909: “Explosive Face Slap (1)”
Having lost his restraints, Gu Ying limbered up his limbs and stood upon the blood splattered floor, not even glancing at the two corpses lying upon the ground.
“What could this little bit of torture count as? It’s merely like scratching an itch.” He curled up his lips and said with a sneer.
Having tasted every single kind of torture the Blood Fiend Palace had, how could he possibly even react to a little slap on the wrist such as this?
“Young Lord, what should we do after this? Gu Yi has abandoned you, so do you want to return to the Spirit Void Temple?” The black robed man asked.
Gu Ying shook his head.
“Why would I want to go back now for? I am still waiting to watch the great show tomorrow and you just have to remember what I told you.”
“Yes, your subordinate remembers. Your subordinate will definitely ensure Gu Xin Yan’s safety.” The black robed man replied.
Gu Ying nodded his head in satisfaction and with his bare feet, while stepping over his own blood on the ground, he picked up his outer robe that had been thrown upon the floor. He casually draped it over himself and treading upon the moonlight, he walked out from the place grandly.
Night passed into day.
The Twelve Palaces’ Summit officially begins. The various Palace Lords started on their way towards the summit’s venue early in the morning. Today’s summit was only open to the Palace Lords of the Twelve Palaces where even the palaces’ Elders were not permitted to attend in accompaniment.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord had come to the venue bright and early and he was already seated upon his seat as the Palace Lords came in one after another. The atmosphere today was a little solemn and the expressions on the faces of the various Palace Lords was quite a bit sterner than it had been yesterday.
When Jun Wu Xie came to the venue, the Palace Lords from the various palaces had all arrived. She silently found herself a seat on one end to sit down.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Flame Demons Palace Lord immediately got up and said: “The Twelve Palaces were originally one body. The reason we had all been able to resist against the Nine Temples till today was because we had always been united. But in the recent period, some bad things had happened among us and in just half a year’s time, we had had several instances of conflicts and fighting constantly happening between ourselves, the killing each other’s disciples incessant, and I think that the various palaces had lost quite a bit of their people. The reason everyone has been invited here today is to have everyone sit down and discuss things through peacefully. We have supported each other till this day and we should not bleed each other out over small matters like this. In the long run, we will only let the Nine Temples watch us in entertainment, our losses will only become their gain. I believe all of you here understand that.”
“I feel that the Flame Demons Palace’s words sound reasonable and our Dragon Slayers Palace has decided to make peace with the Blood Fiend Palace. I hereby make my stand clear.” Having already gotten what he wanted, the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord stood up, and nodded his head towards the grim faced Gu Yi.
Gu Yi similarly stood up and acknowledged with a nod of his head, but in his heart he was cursing at the Dragon Slayers Palace Lord hundreds and thousands of times.
Of course he would be willing to call a truce! Gu Ying had already been handed over and the contradiction between them already resolved, hence there was no longer any reason for them to continue exhausting themselves further upon the matter.
When the other Palace Lords saw that the Dragon Slayers Palace and the Blood Fiend Palace had sounded their agreement, they began debating in earnest.
Afterall, all of them did not want to continue fighting and although there was still enmity in their hearts, if they continued on like this, they would not be able to withstand the incessant drain on their numbers. The Flame Demons Palace had now taken the lead to provide the various palaces with a way out of this quandary, they would naturally be most willing to follow their lead to get themselves out of the situation.
“What the Flame Demons Palace Lord said is highly reasonable. The Twelve Palaces were originally one body and we should not be fighting each other.” The Purple Thunder Palace Lord similarly voiced out his agreement. Having struggled against the Flame Demons Palace for more than half a year, the depletion upon their numbers was becoming hard to swallow.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord then smiled slightly and said: “That’s right. No matter what kind of conflicts the various palaces have between ourselves, for the sake of peace among all our Twelve Palaces, I hope everyone can turn hostility into friendship, and forget all the transgressions done upon you in the past, to make peace once again.”

Chapter 1910: “Explosive Face Slap (2)”
The Flame Demons Palace Lord’s words elicited a wave of debate.
Just at that moment, a sorry looking figure dressed in the Flame Demons Palace’s uniform came rushing into the venue in a fluster.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord’s face immediately darkened.
“What is the matter? Why are you in such a fluster?”
“My Lord! We’ve found the Dark Emperor’s tomb!” The disciple said, his face full of anxiety.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord was slightly shook and the venue that was originally peaceful boiled up in an instant as everyone turned their gazes to fix upon the Flame Demons Palace Lord.
Ever since the Dark Emperor’s fall, all the palaces had never given up in their search for the Dark Emperor’s tomb. In order to avoid reprisal from the Dark Regions, they could only carry it out in secret. But even having spared no effort, they had not managed to find any clues. The three words Dark Emperor’s tomb to them, was soon to become something absolutely impossible to find.
But nobody would have thought that the people from the Flame Demons Palace would really find the Dark Emperor’s tomb!
“What nonsense are you blabbering?” The Flame Demons Palace was initially filled with delight but when he noticed the gazes of all the other Palace Lords turned onto him, he immediately felt that things were not going right.
The Dark Emperor’s tomb was to anyone there, the greatest form of temptation. What the Flame Demons Palace sought, the other palaces wanted just as much, and if the others knew that the Flame Demons Palace had found the Dark Emperor’s tomb, then things would surely take a bad turn!
“My Lord! Everyone’s dead! To find the Dark Emperor’s tomb, everyone has died….. That place is empty….. The Dark Emperor’s tomb is completely empty….. There is nothing inside there at all….. We’ve been had….. Taken on a fool’s errand…..” The disciple suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood and fell to the floor, only able to say those words before he laid there flat and unmoving, seemingly no longer breathing.
