“These two Big Brothers…..” Jun Wu Xie put on a timid look, her brows knitted together worriedly as she looked at the guards.
That one call of “Big Brother” had almost caused the bones of the two guards to turn to mush, with Jun Wu Xie’s voice sounding so gentle, causing the guards to become highly afraid their fierce looks might frighten the little beauty.
“Lady, is there anything we can help you with?” The two men stumbled over themselves to ask.
“I just moved here and am staying close by. I did not know that there would be so many people queing here. I have some matters to attend to later tonight so, can you….. allow me to go inside first?” Jun Wu Xie said looking visibly distressed, which almost melted the hearts of everyone there.
“Err…..” Even before such flawless beauty, the two guards did not dare to open the door of convenience just like that. Although they were reluctant, they had still hesitated.

“I have this. Can I go in with it?” Jun Wu Xie noticed the men’s hesitation and immediately took out the bronze badge she had gotten when she had laboured at the worksite of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower
The two men took a look at the bronze badge and immediately smiled.
“You can, you can.”
The bronze badge was proof of having toiled for the Serene Spirit Towers. Spirits with the bronze badge would be able to gain priority entry into the Serene Spirit Towers to cultivate. But the bronze badges only had a seven day validity and although it allowed one to do away with waiting, it came with a time limit. The two men were still a little hesitant but seeing the bronze badge gave them a valid reason to allow Jun Wu Xie in. In this way, they were not only able to gain the little beauty’s favour, they did not have to break any rules for it, hence, they were naturally happy to do it.
With the bronze badge as a pass of passage, the two men were then more than happy to open the door of convenience for Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie went straight into the Serene Spirit Tower. The bronze badges had specific uses and the priority access the bronze badge provided was meant to be used only at the Serene Spirit Tower where they had contributed their efforts into its construction. Jun Wu Xie’s bronze badge had clearly had the character “four” inscribed into it but as the two men had been so besotted with Jun Wu Xie’s beauty, they had not even looked at the badge closely, which allowed Jun Wu Xie to win the advantage.
This was the first time that Jun Wu Xie had gained an advantage through her beauty, which she did not know whether to laugh or cry about. Towards her looks, she had never cared much about it, but it had come in useful today.
The inside of the Serene Spirit Tower was exactly the same as when Jun Wu Xie had come before, still fully packed with human spirits. The human spirits numbered the most in the first to fifth levels of the Serene Spirit Tower and the higher she went, the further the numbers thinned.
Those able to reach the twelfth level, were only two disciples of Wu Jiu’s, and due to the previous Spirit Master’s captivity, Jiang Yun Long and the other disciple were currently not cultivating there, but were busying themselves out there. Hence, when Jun Wu Xie came up to the twelfth level, it was completely empty, with only the enormous ball of Spirit Fire suspended in the air, taking up almost two thirds of the entire twelfth level.
Jun Wu Xie went around to inspect the place. There was only one human spirit on the eleventh level as the higher one went, the number of human spirits who were able to withstand it lessened. And when they were immersed in their cultivation, it was impossible for them to notice whether anyone had passed through the level they were in, so nobody had noticed that Jun Wu Xie had gone straight up to the twelfth level.
After ascertaining that no one would suddenly appear, Jun Wu Xie then took out the little awl hidden in her sleeve. She calmly stared at the ring of Spirit Reinforcement runes below the Spirit Fire as she recalled from memory once more the sequence she had checked through countless of times in her mind. At that moment, Jun Wu Xie then went walking up and crouched herself down by the Spirit Fire as she used the little awl in her hand to change the ring of Spirit Reinforcement runes.
The tiny sounds of carving sounded out in the twelfth level of the Serene Spirit Tower. The sound was very soft and if they were not on the same level, no one would ever detect it. After three whole hours of toil, Jun Wu Xie finally finished modifying the ring of Spirit Reinforcement runes under the Spirit Fire to the way she intended them to be. She had only modified a small part and under the shroud of the enormous Spirit Fire, no one would notice that the runes had undergone subtle changes. Unless Wu Jiu came in personally to inspect them, otherwise, Jun Wu Xie was confident that no one would notice.
Giving it a final inspection whether she had missed anything out, Jun Wu Xie was finally certain that she had modified them perfectly. That was when she then kept the little awl safely away and went walking down from the twelfth level.
Having just stepped onto the ninth level, the human spirit that walked towards her made Jun Wu Xie’s gaze change slightly. Her eyes lowered unnoticeably and acting like she had not noticed anything, she passed the human spirit by his shoulder, and went walking slowly down in descent.

Jiang Yun Long’s footsteps paused slightly as he turned to look towards the young lady he had just passed. The other human spirit standing at the side was rubbing his chin as he said: “I had not thought that there would be such a beautiful lass among the human spirits. Heh heh, that’s really something.”
That person was also Wu Jiu’s disciple, a human spirit that cultivated with Jiang Yun Long on the twelfth level
Jiang Yun Long retracted his gaze and the corners of his lips stiffened indifferently.
“Now is not the time for you to be admiring beauties. It’s only three more days to the time that Master has set for Nalan Shan. We must make sure that things proceed smoothly at that time or otherwise when Master comes blaming us, both you and me would not be able to escape it.”
Jiang Yun Long did not pay too much attention to beauties, as compared to a beauty, he was more keen on power and authourity.
“Yes, Eldest Senior.” Having been admonished, the man quickly restrained his lecherous thoughts and stoically followed behind Jiang Yun Long to walk up to the twelfth level.
The location that Wu Jiu and Nalan Shan were to meet was right outside the first Serene Spirit Tower and before that happens, Jiang Yun Long and his men needed to check if there was anything unusual in the Serene Spirit Tower once more, and to inform the spirits cultivating inside and those waiting in line outside that the first Serene Spirit Tower would be temporarily closed three days later.
Jiang Yun Long and his fellow disciple went to check one round throughout the place and did not discover anything unusual. Feeling relieved, they then went back to report it to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu was at that moment sampling some wine in the courtyard and hearing Jiang Yun Long’s report, he then nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Master, are you certain that Nalan Shan will really turn up three days later?” Jiang Yun Long asked.
“That character of his, has not changed at all for so many years. Knowing that the previous Spirit Master is in my hands, he would not dare to not turn up.” Wu Jiu curled up the corners of his lips, and a malicious smile bloomed upon his face. Placing his own Master in captivity, to coerce his fellow disciple, were in his eyes something inevitable and as it should be, without feeling the slightest bit of guilt or remorse.
“Soul Slayer has been urging us again. Your disciple has done as you said and appeased him with reassurance. Looking at him, I think he will not be able to wait much longer.” Jia
ng Yun Long said.
Ever since the Weapon Spirits seized the rights to the fourth Serene Spirit Tower, Soul Slayer had often come urging Wu Jiu to quickly complete the modifications to the Serene Spirit Tower, to let the Weapon Spirits be able to go into the tower to cultivate.
“No need to worry. Once I have Nalan Shan in my hands, it will not be long before the Spirit Bear will deliver itself into my hands. Soul Slayer is being so anxious only because it wants to go into the Serene Spirit Tower itself. Arrogant and conceited. For the Weapon Spirits to have such a leader, it’s just laughable.” Wu Jiu said nonchalantly, his words showing complete indifference towards Soul Slayer.
“It thinks that it’s unmatched under the Heavens. If not for the act that the runes on its blade is deadly against spirits, the position of the leader of the Weapon Spirits will not be his.” Jiang Yun Long quipped in agreement.
Wu Jiu shrugged his shoulders.
“Leave him be. If not for him, we will not have the result we see today. Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy ad been rather clever to not have gone to verify it with the Spirit Lord. If not for Soul Slayer’s foolishness, my plans would not have progressed so smoothly.”
Fools were only needed to be of use to him.
Jiang Yun Long nodded his head.
“Go. Make sure things are properly prepared for what’s going to happen three days later. Make sure you receive your Uncle Master well and not embarrass yourself.” Wu Jiu said with a wave of his hand, and Jiang Yun Long immediately retreated.
Drinking for a little while more, Wu Jiu felt it was a little dull and he got up to walk towards the dungeon.
In the dungeon, the previous Spirit Master’s limbs were bound by four chains. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the previous Spirit Master raised his head slightly and saw Wu Jiu’s good looking face that was tinged with a sliver of disdain.

“What are you here for?” The previous Spirit Master said in displeasure. Having become a prisoner, he still had not lost his great flair and he did not look the least haggard.
Wu Jiu looked smilingly at the previous Spirit Master, completely disregarding the previous Spirit Master’s disdain. Seeing the wretched state the previous Spirit Master was in, Wu Jiu then said with a smile: “Is there a need for Master to show such disdain for your disciple? Your disciple is being so disrespectful to Master only because I have no other choice. Once Nalan Shan hands that brown bear over to me, I will immediately release Master and Master can then very well punish me for any disrespect that I have shown. I implore for Master to understand the deep thoughts and heart your disciple has put into this, as your disciple is doing it all for the sake of letting the Spirit World further flourish and thrive, and that is the reason why I am doing all this.”
“That contemptible face of yours disgusts me.” The previous Spirit Master completely ignored everything Wu Jiu had said, as Wu Jiu’s actions amounted to deceiving one’s Master and destroying the ancestors’ name, a crime that made people’s hair stand on end.
Wu Jiu spread his hands wide as he looked at the previous Spirit Master who was showing utter contempt, showing he was not bothered.
“There’s no need for Master to make it sound so ugly. I still remember back when Master first accepted me, didn’t you like me very much? Or why would you pass down the position of Spirit Master to me, and not to that unambitious and unaccomplished Nalan Shan?”
The previous Spirit Master almost vomited blood from anger. “If I had known that you would be so despicable, even if you beat me to death, I would not have handed the position of Spirit Master over to you. It is the one thing I regret having done the most!”
How could the previous Spirit Master have thought that this originally obedient and intelligent First Disciple of his would become so utterly heartless and be so devoid of morals after inheriting the position of Spirit Master? However pure and innocent Wu Jiu had been in the past, he was now just as evil and malicious.
Wu Jiu suddenly laughed out loud. “Master can just carry on berating me. Your disciple is here to accept it. But in another three days, I ask for Master to work in concert with me, so that my fellow junior Nalan Shan can come save you good and proper.”
“You will suffer retribution!” The previous Spirit Master spat through tightly gritted teeth.
Never would he have dreamed that Wu Jiu put him in captivity.
“Retribution? Great achievers do not bother with trifling details. It was exactly because Master had been inflexible and unbending that you implicated yourself regarding the incident with the Dark Emperor, to have given up on your position as the Spirit Master for nothing. And if not for that, what kind of glory would I have to speak of today?” Wu Jiu said indifferently.
“Your honeyed words hides daggers! Having bewitched the Spirit Lord, what is it exactly that you seek to achieve?” The previous Spirit Master asked as he glared at Wu Jiu.
He just would not believe that the Spirit Lord would allow Wu Jiu to do something so decadent and malicious.
“Bewitch the Spirit Lord? Master, you really think too highly of me. I do not possess that kind of capability. The Spirit Lord himself seeks to gain more power and it happens that that is something I can change. As for what I am going to do, Master will come to know it when the day comes.” Wu Jiu said with a laugh, his eyes filled with yearning and lunacy. Looking at the flickering firelight, he then said in derangement.
“What I am doing, is something that can change the entire world. Be it the Lower Realm, or the Middle Realm, even the Higher Realm will definitely shake with this! Master, you are being too obstinate. If you are willing to work together with me, you shall gain powers that had never been seen, reaching a state that you would not be able to attain throughout your life of bitter cultivation.”
The previous Spirit Master shook his head as he looked at Wu Jiu who was descending into lunacy. He had gone mad, really gone mad.
But Wu Jiu’s words had also caused the previous Spirit Master to fall into the throes of immense fear. From Wu Jiu’s words, he seemed to have heard hints of something incredible.
This matter no longer only concerned the Spirit World, but would directly affect the Three Realms!
“Master, get yourself some good rest. I’ll come see you again three days later.” Wu Jiu went back to normal and he looked smilingly at the previous Spirit Master before he turned to leave, his laughter that made a person’s skin crawl reverberating within the dungeon, sending chills to run through the previous Spirit Master.

Chapter 2070: Deceiving One’s Master and Destroying the Ancestors’ Name (3)

Three days’ time passed in a blink. On this day, the first Serene Spirit Tower was sealed shut and masses of spirits gathered outside the Serene Spirit Tower while the human spirits that were led by Jiang Yun Long surrounded Wu Jiu seated upon a rosewood chair.
Soul Slayer had brought in many Weapon Spirits that also stood guard at the side. Wu Jiu had told Soul Slayer that Nalan Shan’s appearance today would affect whether the fourth Serene Spirit Tower would be able to complete its construction and hence Soul Slayer had not waited wanted to wait even a moment longer than he needed to where he then brought the Weapon Spirit to come witness the event.
What was a little strange was the Beast Spirits. Having had the rights to the fourth Serene Spirit Tower seized by the Weapon Spirits from before, the Beast Spirits and the Weapon Spirits were now at odds with each other, with irreconcilable differences. Logically, today’s event should have nothing to do with the Beast Spirits at all but for some unknown reason, a large number of Beast Spirits had gathered outside the first Serene Spirit Tower. They did not try to enter inside but just stood outside watching, which m
ade the Weapon Spirits that Soul Slayer brought in feel highly indignant.
Because the victory they had won in the clash had allowed the Weapon Spirits show the Beast Spirits up and at that moment, they were filled with a sense of superiority over them.
The Beast Spirits did not make a sound, seemingly having not noticed the arrogance and contempt the Weapons Spirits were showing them, but just gathered themselves together to whisper among themselves. As for what was being said, it could not really be heard.
Wu Jiu sipped slowly from a cup of tea, and then looked at the time. He then beckoned at Jiang Yun Long and Jiang Yun Long immediately retreated to the back. From inside a metal cage, Jiang Yun Long then dragged out the previous Spirit Master whose hands and feet were bound in metal shackles.
The loud clatter of the chains striking the ground reverberated off the exterior wall of the Serene Spirit Tower and the highly wretched looking previous Spirit Master was seen to have lost his refined and cultured grace of the past. Like a beast of burden, he was dragged by Jiang Yun Long and a bunch of human spirits to come into the open space before the first Serene Spirit Tower.
Jiang Yun Long did not show the slightest respect as he pushed the previous Spirit Master right onto the ground. The previous Spirit Master fell to the ground but did not say a word, his eyes sweeping silently over the masses of spirits gathered around to watch.
The appearance of the previous Spirit Master drew the attention of many human spirits. Some of them were not brought here by Wu Jiu, but were here just to watch the spectacle. Suddenly seeing the previous Spirit Master in such a wretched state, many of the human spirits did not know how to react.
There had been some rumours going around that Wu Jiu had captured the previous Spirit Master but many of the human spirits were uncertain about the authenticity of the matter. It was only at this moment when they saw the previous Master that they realized that the rumours had been true!
