Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 20

by North Night (夜北)

  Jun Wu Xie stood up at that moment and walked over there. She checked for breath under the disciple’s nose and turned her head to the bunch of anxious people to say: “Dead.”

  Everyone gasped loudly.

  The last words of that disciple then resounded within everyone’s mind.

  The Dark Emperor’s tomb that they had been looking so hard for…..

  Was actually empty?

  How was that possible?

  The Flame Demons Palace Lord sank back into his chair looking defeated. Although the chances of finding the Dark Emperor’s tomb had been slim to say the least, but his heart had always held that one sliver of anticipation, a fantasy that had been cruelly shattered today.

  “Flame Demons Palace Lord! What is really happening here! ? Even if you do not want us to continue to search for the Dark Emperor’s tomb, you shouldn’t say such words to try to deceive us all!” The Dark Heavens Palace Lord suddenly jumped to his feet, his face and ears red as he pointed at the Flame Demons Palace Lord to admonish loudly.

  He absolutely refused to believe that the Dark Emperor’s tomb was fake.

  The other Palace Lords showed similar reactions. From what they could see, all of that was highly just deception schemed up by the Flame Demons Palace!

  However, before the Flame Demons Palace Lord could open his mouth to say anything in explanation, disciples dressed in the uniforms of different palaces came bursting in from outside in succession.

  And the state they were all in was extremely bad, telling of the same thing the disciple from the Flame Demons Palace had said.

  The only difference was that they did not die but were extremely weakened. From the mouths of those disciples, the Palace Lords of the various palaces finally came to know the truth about the Dark Emperor’s tomb.

  According to what the disciples said, they had all gone into the Heaven’s End Cliff separately and they had discovered the Dark Emperor’s tomb through different routes, where in order to claim the Dark Emperor’s tomb, they had even engaged in battle, resulting in countless deaths. But when they finally went into the Dark Emperor’s tomb, what they were all greeted with was just an empty and vacant tomb.

  Even the Dark Emperor’s coffin had been found to be void and empty as well!

  Chapter 1911: “Explosive Face Slap (3)”

  After the disciples discovered that the Dark Emperor’s tomb was phony, they all no longer had the will to fight and compete any more and they joined hands to escape the Heaven’s End Cliff. This was also the reason why they had all come to appear here at the same time.

  If it had been just disciples from one or two of the palaces coming back to report, it might be really be believed. But when disciples from almost all the palaces were saying the same thing, then it must definitely be true!

  In an instant, the faces of all the Palace Lords turned white. They would never ever have thought that the Dark Emperor’s tomb that had drained so much of their efforts would turn out to be empty…..

  The immense blow that struck all the Palace Lords caused their hearts to wince in pain. Only the Heavens would know that for the past close to a thousand years, in order to locate the Dark Emperor’s tomb, just how many of their most elite people and riches they had sacrificed.

  But in the end…..

  There was nothing at all.

  What they had given up and all that they had sacrificed, had all become just one big joke.

  The entire venue fell deathly silent. If not for the fact they were able to recognize the disciples they had sent to the Heaven’s End Cliff, and knew that the disciples were indeed from their own palaces, they would not have been willing to believe it.

  The pursuit that spanned a thousand years, that resulted in just one big joke.

  They had been completely played out by the Dark Regions once again!

  “No wonder….. No wonder the Dark Regions had not tried to restrict us from searching for the Dark Emperor’s tomb. Haha….. So they….. knew that it was fake all along…..” The Green Tide Palace Lord lamented with a laugh, though it sounded like he was crying.

  All the other Palace Lords were unable to accept that stark and cruel reality. In order for them to snatch the Dark Emperor’s tomb out of the grasp of the others, how many things had they done, and sent just how many of their disciples to their deaths in vain, only to let them have a chance to ascend to the highest point in the Middle Realm.

  But now, all that they did just seemed so laughable.

  They had schemed and plotted, sacrificed so many of their elites, and at the end of it all, what they gained was only ridicule from the Dark Regions?

  That realization, made all the Palace Lords almost spurt out a mouthful of blood.

  Jun Wu Xie sat quietly in her seat, admiring the expressions on the faces of the various Palace Lords as their minds crumbled and collapsed.

  The Dark Emperor’s tomb had never been a lie. It had really existed. A pity they had been a step too late as everything in there had already been emptied out by her. A large part of the treasures was now in the belly of Ye Jie’s little Hell Rodent and that was one point that they would all never know about.

  The empty Dark Emperor’s tomb would be the first “gift” from Jun Wu Xie to the Twelve Palaces.

  Coming right after, there would be more “great gifts” waiting for all of them to enjoy!

  The inside of the venue turned to become a cauldron boiling with chaos due to the news. The Flame Demons Palace was so shocked that he crashed back into his chair, his face a complete daze.

  For the Dark Emperor’s tomb, looking just at the period of his rule, they had already lost more than ten Elders already, needless to mention how massives their loss of other elites and regular disciples they has suffered. But…..

  The Flame Demons Palace Lord drew in a deep breath, fighting back the urge to vomit out blood as he gazed at the chaos within the premise and he immediately stood up.

  Even if the Dark Emperor’s tomb could no longer be found, the Flame Demons Palace’s might would still be placed above the other palaces!

  “Everyone! Will everyone please calm down, all of this is just the ploy of the Dark Regions! We fell right into it! But as long as we, the Twelve Palaces stand united as one, we will not crumble from just one single setback! All the unhappiness between us from before, should be wiped away like none of it had ever happened before!”

  The Flame Demons Palace Lord’s words made everyone calm down slightly. The losses suffered was not just from one particular palace, but had encompassed all the palaces, which was not something they would find completely unacceptable.

  “Treat it like nothing’s happened? Then what about all those people who have died because of the Dark Emperor’s tomb? How will they be repaid?” A slightly cold and crisp voice suddenly sounded within the premise.

  Everyone’s gaze then fell upon the source of that voice in the very next instant, fixed upon Jun Wu Xie!

  Volume 20

  Chapter 1912: “Explosive Face Slap (4)”

  “Shadow Moon Palace Lord, what do you mean by those words?” The Flame Demons Palace Lord’s face immediately turned grim. The other Palace Lords were also looking quizzically at Jun Wu Xie, never having expected that a Palace Lord would say such a thing.

  Jun Wu Xie arched her eyebrow up slightly, not showing the slightest fear against the gazes of all the Palace Lords. She then leisurely leaned back against her chair, and raised her head to look at everyone.

  “Exactly as what those words mean. The Dark Emperor’s tomb has turned up empty, but the people the various palaces has sacrificed is real. Those people who died paid for it with their very lives, but all they got in the end was to be made a joke, and all of you think this is appropriate?”

  At that moment, the Dark Heavens Palace Lord opened his mouth to speak: “Shadow Moon Palace Lord, you are still very young and you might not fully understand the importance of the Dark Emperor’s tomb. O
ne who seeks to accomplish great things does not bother himself with trifling details. If we do not fight for that one sliver of hope, aren’t you asking us to live our lives in vain? The Twelve Palaces had always been not as powerful as the Nine Temples and if we just continued to sit back, resigned to our fates, the day will come that we are wiped out by the Nine Temples. Seeking the Dark Emperor’s tomb and gaining the Dark Emperor’s treasures, was a path for us to gain great power. With such treasures placed before our eyes, who would give up on that?”

  Jun Wu Xie then smirked coldly.

  “Since it’s you yourselves who seek that power, why didn’t you go find it personally? Instead, all of you had just sat back comfortably, waiting to reap the rewards while sacrificing the disciples under you. Now that the Dark Emperor’s tomb is found to be empty, to all of you, it might just be losing a chance to gain yourselves some treasures, but to those people who sacrificed their lives down at the bottom of Heaven’s End Cliff, they had laid down their own lives for it. Who among you could still remember the very first team you had sent to the Heaven’s End Cliff? Who among all of you here can still remember the names of every single person? They have died for your ambitions, but now all that you are thinking is that you’ve lost out on a great big batch of treasures and do not feel the least bit guilty or regret towards all those people who have died. Dare I ask….. are all of you still human?”

  Jun Wu Xie’s voice was soft, but every single word was sharp as a blade, mercilessly piercing through and shattering the dignified mask of sanctity upon the faces of all the Palace Lords.

  Thinking to gain great power for themselves, these people had used the lives of others to exchange for it. Knowing very well that the Heaven’s End Cliff was filled with all kinds of dangers, but due to their inflated ambitions, they had incessantly sent people to the Heaven’s End Cliff, where they had even turned their eyes to prey upon the powers in the Lower Realm.

  They had despised people from the Lower Realm from the bottom of their hearts and they did not even see the Lower Realm’s people as humans at all.

  Jun Wu Xie had sought to find the Dark Emperor’s tomb as well, but from start to end, she had gone there herself. Regardless of the fact that the Rui Lin Army obeyed her every order, or when she had already become the Fire Country’s Emperor, she would definitely not allow herself to use the lives of others in exchange for more power for herself!

  Jun Wu Xie’s words caused the faces of all the Palace Lords from the various palaces to turn a metallic green. They glared in fury at the impertinent little lass, wishing they could just sew her mouth up.

  Her words grated on the ears too much but they truly reflected the real thoughts that went through their minds.

  “Little lady, even though you’re still considered to be very young, you’ve got to observe some propriety with your words. All of us here are much older than you are, and though we do not hold it against you, but you’ve got to learn some respect. As the Palace Lords of the various palaces, do you know how much things we have to deal with? Could you possibly be expecting us to attend to every single thing personally? And for us to go search the Heaven’s End Cliff ourselves?” The Flame Demons Palace Lord said with a derisive sneer.

  “If you’re unable to look into it personally, then is there a need to yearn for something that does not belong to yourself?” Jun Wu Xie’s face was laced with a tinge of ridicule. A monarch like this, was truly laughable, when the lives of others were merely seen as a pawn in their eyes.

  Volume 20

  Chapter 1913: “Explosive Face Slap (5)”

  Jun Wu Xie’s words stumped everyone present at the summit speechless.

  “Women with such a nasty character are hard to get along with. With the Shadow Moon Palace handed to such an ignorant little girl like you, it will be finished sooner or later.” The All Life Palace Lord’s face was flushed red with indignation. If the things that Jun Wu Xie had said had been heard by any of their palace disciples, who in the devil would know what kind of effects that would have brought.

  “No need for sooner or later. It’s already finished.” Jun Wu Xie’s lips suddenly curled up into a brilliant smile, as she slowly got up from her chair to stand up.

  Everyone looked at Jun Wu Xie in puzzlement. They really could not fathom what this beautiful little young lady was thinking at all. Just what kind of a Palace Lord would curse their own palace to be finished like this?

  Has she gone mad?

  Jun Wu Xie walked over to the venue’s entrance and then stared at the various Palace Lords whose expressions on their faces were looking rather ugly and said slowly: “I have yet to introduce myself. I am known in the Lower Realm as the Lin Palace’s Jun Wu Xie.”

  Jun Wu Xie’s cold crisp voice reverberated within the summit’s venue and the eyes of the various Palace Lords flared wide in that instant.

  [Lower Realm?]

  [What does it mean?]

  “Who are you really? Aren’t you the Shadow Moon Palace’s new Palace Lord?” The Soul Return Palace Lord asked as he raised a hand up to point at Jun Wu Xie, his face contorted in disbelief.

  Jun Wu Xie shrugged her shoulders and raised up her chin gracefully to say: “Reasonably speaking, I am the Shadow Moon Palace’s new Palace Lord but it’s just that I have absolutely no blood links with the previous Palace Lord at all. But if you really want me to state a link between us, then that would be….. that I killed the Shadow Moon Palace Lord with my own hands. Does that count?”

  Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up slightly, seemingly with smiles but it was rather indiscernible.

  Eleven Palace Lords gasped audibly at that very instant. Though the Shadow Moon Palace could not compare to the other palaces, it was still one of the Twelve Palaces. Currently in the Middle Realm, only the Nine Temples could lord over their heads. No one would have thought that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, being one among the Twelve Palaces, could have been killed by this tiny young lady before their eyes…..

  How could that be possible? !

  Jun Wu Xie’s words struck like a bolt out of the blue onto everyone’s heart. They stared at Jun Wu Xie in complete disbelief, refusing to believe any of it.

  “Kid, you must be joking….. How could the Shadow Moon Palace Lord be possibly killed by a little kid like you?” The Zen Void Palace Lord said half in doubt as he stared at Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie arched up her eyebrow a little and then pulled out a token of command slowly from inside her robes. That token was made from green jade and upon it was carved the three characters that read “Shadow Moon Palace. That was the symbol representing the identity of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord throughout the generations and right over the surface of that piece of green jade, were bloodstains that had turned dark covering it…..

  “Apologies, I forgot to clean it when I removed it from the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s corpse back then. But I believe you gentlemen are still able to recognise it?” Jun Wu Xie asked with her head tilted to one side in query, as she stared at the bunch of people whose faces had turned green.

  That highly nonchalant tone, caused a sliver of horror to rise within the hearts of the various Palace Lords.

  Even the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s token of command had fallen into the hands of this lass, that would mean that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord must have really perished!

  “Kid, where are you really from? For you to come all the way here today, I don’t think you’re just here just to watch the show right?” Dazed from shock, the Flame Demons Palace Lord finally snapped back to his senses. He had earlier already felt that Jun Wu Xie did not seem like any ordinary girl but he had never expected the lass to be audacious that she had even destroyed the Shadow Moon Palace.

  An ominous and dreadful feeling suddenly rose up within the Flame Demons Palace Lord’s heart. Jun Wu Xie’s target was definitely not just the Shadow Moon Palace alone or why would she assume the identity of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord and come all the way here to partake in the Twel
ve Palace’s Summit?

  “What’s wrong? You’re getting old and your memory is failing you already? I’ve already said that I come from the Lower Realm.” Jun Wu Xie said, in a highly arrogant tone.

  Volume 20

  Chapter 1914: “Explosive Face Slap (6)”

  The Flame Demons Palace Lord almost suffocated to death from trying to hold in his anger when he heard Jun Wu Xie’s words.

  “Lower Realm? Are you taking me for a fool? With the Lower Realm being the kind of place it is, how could they possibly have such a young Purple Spirit like you appear there? You’re a cowardly little scoundrel as I have thought you are, that you do not even dare to reveal your family name.” The Purple Thunder Palace Lord said with great sarcasm. The Palace Lords of the various palaces were all Silver Spirits so how could they not be able to tell that Jun Wu Xie holds powers at the Purple Spirit’s fourth stage? There was no need to even talk about the backward and remote Lower Realm, such a high gift when placed in the Middle Realm, would also be considered to be unprecedentedly monstrous.

  Jun Wu Xie shrugged her shoulders, unbothered by the Purple Thunder Palace Lord’s sarcasm.

  “Up to you whether you believe it or not.”

  “Kid, don’t you think you’re thinking too much of yourself? I have really never seen anyone as audacious as you, to still dare to come attend the Twelve Palaces’ Summit after having killed the Shadow Moon Palace Lord. Do you really think that we would not dare to do anything to you?” The Dark Heavens Palace Lord said with a sneer.

  The fact that Jun Wu Xie killed the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had indeed been way beyond their expectations but everyone knew that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had from a long time ago been rather ill and his spirit powers had deteriorated greatly, naturally weaker than other Palace Lords like them, but no one knew to what extent the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s spirit powers had dropped to just before he was killed.
