The first Serene Spirit Tower was completed, the second Serene Spirit Tower was completed, the third Serene Spirit Tower was completed…..
As the number of Serene Spirit Towers grew greater in number, the leaders of the three other spirit races besides the human spirits almost had no chance of even being able to see the Spirit Lord, where every audience that they sought did not come back with any response, like the Spirit Lord was fully determined to support the human spirits in their quest to become stronger.
Towards that, from initially feeling puzzled and aggrieved, the other spirit races then came to see that as the norm.
“I do not think that the Spirit Lord is completely unaware of the things happening with the Serene Spirit Tower. The Spirit Lord created this very Spirit World, and every single spirit in here cannot escape his senses. It is not possible that he does not know that the next Spiritual Bear had appeared and he could not possibly be unaware that the Spiritual Bear’s powers was gradually declining…..” All this time, a terrifying guess had always been swirling in Poison Ivy’s heart where it even caused him to develop doubts against the trust he had in the Spirit Lord’s impartiality.
That was a point that was absolutely not permitted to manifest in the Spirit World.
Hence, even if Poison Ivy had spoken his suspicions aloud before Flame Dragon had left, knowing Flame Dragon’s unbending character, Flame Dragon would not have only refused to listen to Poison Ivy, but would have turned hostile against Poison Ivy for doubting the Spirit Lord.
Jun Wu Xie quietly listened to Poison Ivy’s words, and a faint ominous feeling rose up in her heart.
For a sudden change to happen in any being, it always signalled that something unexpected has happened.
Whenever something turns suddenly abnormal it must be the devil at work!
“I could just be thinking too much into it. We’ll know when Flame Dragon comes back.” Poison Ivy said as he shook his head. For so many years in the Spirit World, his unconditional compliance to the Spirit Lord caused him to waver in his own suspicions.
“Or you might not be overthinking it?” Jun Wu Xie suddenly said.
Poison Ivy was startled.
“Help me watch Nalan Shan.” Jun Wu Xie suddenly stood up, and walked over to her companions.
“Little Xie? You do not need to look after Nalan Shan anymore?” Qiao Chu asked with a smile as he looked at Jun Wu Xie walking over.
But there wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile on Jun Wu Xie’s face. She looked up at the dim skies of the Spirit World and her eyes narrowed slightly.
“Have Nalan Shan hidden away immediately.” Jun Wu Xie then said.
“What?” Qiao Chu was taken aback. Hua Yao and the others then came walking over. Jun Wu Xie’s words had drawn their attention.
“There could be a change in plans, and Nalan Shan’s condition would not be able to withstand any further distress.” Jun Wu Xie’s voice had turned cold.
“Little Xie, what has happened? Why are you suddenly saying that?” Rong Ruo could detect the tension in Jun Wu Xie’s tone.
Jun Wu Xie was just about to reply when a tiny speck of a shadow came hurtling down from high up in the sky!

Jun Wu Xie and the companions immediately took a step back as they saw a magnificent eagle Beast Spirit crashing onto the ground before their feet.
Jun Wu Xie immediately recognized the eagle at a glance, as one of the Beast Spirits who escorted Flame Dragon and the others to go see the Spirit Lord!
But at that moment, the eagle before their eyes was far from being as majestic and valiant looking as the one they had seen that morning. Wounds so deep that its bones could be seen in its wings, the feathers badly battered and tattered. Sparkly dust were dissipating out from those wounds and its body was struggling to maintain its solid state!
It was hard to imagine how it managed to drag that burnt out and depleted body back here in flight.
“Leave! Leave here at once!” The eagle fallen on the ground could not even lift up its head, but it still managed to issue that broken and shattered warning from its mouth.
“What is happening here? Where’s Flame Dragon? Where’s Brownie?” Qiao Chu asked, his eyes wide with shock.
Hua Yao immediately squatted himself down, to smear some medicine he held in his hands upon the eagle’s wounds.
“The Spirit Lord has captured Lord Flame Dragon and the Spiritual Bear. He is on his way here with his soldiers and all of you must leave quickly….. If you don’t leave immediately, it might be too late! !” The eagle struggled to push itself up with its badly battered wings, to give that final warning.
The eagle’s words caused Jun Wu Xie and the companions to stand there frozen in shock, unable to believe what they had just heard.
[Flame Dragon and Brownie have been captured?]
[And it was the Spirit Lord’s doing?]
[The Spirit Lord did not punish Wu Jiu! ?]
[Just what exactly has happened! ?]
The astounding news immediately exploded within the minds of Jun Wu Xie and the companions. The eagle who had been too severely injured could not hold out any longer. It had broken through all its lines of defence and fought with everything it had within to rush back here, to inform Jun Wu Xie and the others to immediately escape from there. Its body scattered and dispersed into bits before the companions’ eyes, disappearing bit by bit, leaving behind only its last words…..
“Just what is going on? Has that Spirit Lord gone mad? Not only has he not punished Wu Jiu, he has captured Flame Dragon and Brownie? What does he really want to do? Could it be that he has grown too old and his brain has been dotty! ?” Qiao Chu was in shock. What was really happening?
Jun Wu Xie’s brows were tightly creased together. Poison Ivy’s suspicions were about to come true!
“Go.” Jun Wu Xie said immediately. It was not the time to stand there in a daze.
Jun Wu Xie did not have the time to move Nalan Shan at all. By the time the eagle brought in the news and in the instant that they were about to move…..
A loud explosion suddenly sounded not too far away!
Under the dim sky, a strange glow suddenly revealed itself, and that light was approaching at an extremely fast speed as it flew towards them.
The Beast Spirits that had been standing guards on the rocky mountain suddenly saw a large number of human spirits running towards them ferociously and they immediately took on an offensive stance. But in that instant when that ball of ice blue light flew over their heads, they were all immediately frozen in place.
The Spirit Lord!
It was already too late when Jun Wu Xie and the companions wanted to leave. Even though that ball of light still had not come close, they could already feel an enormous surge of power of the spirit gathering above their heads. They felt as if eyes that they could not see had locked onto them, and they would not be able to escape no matter where they went.
“What do we do Little Xie?” Qiao Chu’s face paled. Though he did not know what was within that ball of light, but that powerful aura had already made him feel an enormously powerful oppression shrouding all around him.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. Poison Ivy then seemed to notice something as he rushed over with a swoosh. When he lifted his head up and saw that ball of ice blue light, his heart immediately fell right down into the bottom of a pit.
“Spirit Lord. That is the Spirit Lord…..”

Poison Ivy’s words were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, that quashed the last sliver of hope in the hearts of Qiao Chu and the other companions.
Jun Wu Xie did not say a word, but just went charging inside Flame Dragon’s cave with the fa
stest speed possible and pulled out the little awl she carried on her to immediately carve out a series of Spirit Reinforcement runes just beside Nalan Shan.
“Little Xie….. What are you doing?” Qiao Chu asked as he turned his eyes around to look at Jun Wu Xie, not understanding what she was still doing at such a critical juncture?
“We won’t be able to escape and Nalan Shan must not be caught now or he will die.” Jun Wu Xie carved out the last Spirit Reinforcement runes at the quickest speed possible without any expression. Adding that circle of Spirit Reinforcement runes would hide a person’s aura for a short period of time but she had only tried it on a human and did not know whether it works on spirits. But with the way things have turned out, she had to give it a try!
She had promised Brownie that she would take good care of Nalan Shan and she would not go back on her word!
“Then, what should we do now?” Hua Yao asked with furrowed brows, as things had progressed to a stage where it had surpassed anything they could have expected.
All that waiting had not yielded them Wu Jiu being punished by the Spirit Lord but to give them such a result instead.
Jun Wu Xie took a deep breath as she stared at the gradually approaching light, her mind constantly searching for possible way to resolve this.
Unfortunately…..
She was not that familiar with things in the Spirit World, and knew absolutely nothing about the Spirit Lord, an opponent she knew nothing about, that deprived her of many conditions for her to make accurate judgements.
The ball of ice blue light came to a stop right in front of Flame Dragon’s cave and he slowly descended, where all the Beast Spirits around the place fell to their knees in reverence and worship towards that light.
The creator of the Spirit World, the Spirit Lord.
The shade of Poison Ivy’s face was not looking too good.
From within the light, a slender figure came walking out slowly. A handsome looking man appeared before the eyes of Jun Wu Xie and the companions. The man was tall, dressed in a light blue long robe, his head of long silver white hair looking extremely striking, but what surprised people the most was that pair of light grey eyes.
The man who had appeared right before them was the Spirit Lord who created the entire Spirit World, the reigning ruler over all spirits!
The Spirit Lord had not even opened his mouth to speak and a powerful oppressive aura was already shrouded around Jun Wu Xie and the companions. That intense oppression seemed to cause the power in their bodies to drain out in an instant, and the companions had to grit their teeth hard to prevent themselves from falling.
Poison Ivy’s situation was the worst. His face had turned white, and his tall frame had gradually become bent and hunched over from withstanding that enormously powerful oppressive aura.
“Poison Ivy, why do you not kneel upon seeing me?” The Spirit Lord asked, the light grey eyes looking at Poison Ivy filled with complete arrogance.
Poison Ivy entire body was trembling uncontrollably under that stare, feeling as if endless streams of power were striking incessantly upon his body, rendering unable to stand, as he fell with a thud onto his knees on the ground.
“Poison Ivy pays his respects….. to the Spirit Lord…..” Every single word, was a great struggle for Poison Ivy to say.
The Spirit Lord’s gaze then turned away from Poison Ivy in satisfaction. His eyes were half narrowed as he then looked at Jun Wu Xie and her companions who were struggling to hold themselves up.
“Rather capable lot here. No wonder the Spirit Master Wu Jiu was defeated.” The Spirit Lord opened his mouth to say.
It was merely a simple statement, but it made Jun Wu Xie and her companions feel that the oppressive aura their bodies were withstanding under suddenly increase y several folds, their legs feeling like they could break off any moment.
“You are the Spirit Lord?” Jun Wu Xie forced herself to endure the highly intense oppressive aura, and her gaze was neither servile nor dominating as she looked at the man who reigned over the entire Spirit World before her.
“I am.” The Spirit Lord responded with the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
“Do all of you know what you have done?”

Jun Wu Xie wanted to open her mouth one more time but the surrounding spiritual aura suddenly grew more oppressive by another fold!
The oppression poured in from the front and it was like she had fallen ten thousand metres into the sea, her entire body feeling as if it was being crushed by extremely high water pressure and she was about to explode into pieces.
Qiao Chu and the other companions were in the same situation as Jun Wu Xie, the colour of their faces turning from white to green.
As someone who had created the entire Spirit World with only his own power of the spirit, the kind of power the Spirit Lord possessed was one that went far beyond what the companions could compete with!
The Beast Spirits surrounding them were in great agony under the oppressive aura being released. They raised their eyes up discreetly to look at Jun Wu Xie and the companions and saw that the Spirit Lord was treating Jun Wu Xie and the others as enemies. The highly loyal Beast Spirits just could not understand what was happening.
Jun Wu Xie and her companions had saved the Spiritual Bear and the Beast Spirits were indebted to them. The Beast Spirits had even found themselves liking these few simple and sincere human spirits. But the Spirit Lord was an existence that the Beast Spirits were unable to defy and the conflicting feelings caused all the Beast Spirits to be very much at a loss. They wanted to open their mouths to speak up, to beg the Spirit Lord to hold his hand, and spare Jun Wu Xie and the companions, but trapped under the intense oppressive aura, not to mention being able to open their mouths, they were all unable to even stand up at all.
[Everything….. has become so strange…..]
The Spirit Lord continued to pile on the oppressive aura upon Jun Wu Xie and the gang, to see them start to be unable to resist and waver and sway in their spots. There was no emotion in his eyes but for that high haughty arrogance, that seemed to see Jun Wu Xie and the companions as creatures as insignificant as mere ants.
Jun Wu Xie almost bit through her teeth to keep herself standing. The malice behind the ferociously intense aura being released could not be any clearer to her.
The Spirit Lord held great enmity against them!
The oppressive aura then suddenly intensified by ten folds!
The sudden and unexpected oppression that struck caused the spirits of Jun Wu Xie and her companions to fall into a dead silence. The youths did not even have the chance of even noticing anything before they descended into unseeing darkness, completely losing their consciousness!
Jun Wu Xie and the others suddenly fell, and the corners of the Spirit Lord’s mouth curled up with a satisfied arc of a smirk before he then retracted all the spirit aura he was releasing completely. The human spirits who had rushed their way here now stood behind the Spirit Lord, and among them was the Second Disciple who had been driven off by the Beast Spirits.
The Second Disciple looked on in delight at the fallen figures of Jun Wu Xie and the companions, and seeing the unconscious state they were in, his face broke out with a wide smile in glee.
“The Spirit Lord is indeed brilliant. How could trash like these hope to stand against the Spirit Lord. For them to be able to set their eyes upon the Spirit Lord himself is already their greatest fortune.” The Second Disciple just could not wait to fawn and grovel.
The Spirit Lord merely swept his gaze nonchalantly over him and then raised a hand to point at Jun Wu Xie and her companions to say: “Bring them back.”
“Yes, Spirit Lord!” The Second Disciple almost could not wait to lead his men forward as they went walking towards Jun Wu Xie. The humiliation he had suffered before had caused him
to hate Jun Wu Xie right to the bone and seeing Jun Wu Xie and her gang now unable to stand against the might of the Spirit Lord where they had fallen into unconsciousness, the expression on his face grew more gleeful.
The Spirit Lord’s spiritual aura had mainly been directed upon Jun Wu Xie and her companions earlier and although Poison Ivy at their side had been in intense agony, he was still able to maintain consciousness. When he saw the Second Disciple suddenly coming forward and seeking to capture Jun Wu Xie, Poison Ivy bolstered up his courage and stood up, to place himself in front of Jun Wu Xie.
“Spirit Lord, what are you trying to do here?” Poison Ivy asked the Spirit Lord incredulously.
[The Spirit Lord would never employ such a forceful and high handed move on any spirit in the past. What has happened to him? !]

“Poison Ivy, you can’t even protect yourself here and you still want to stick your nose into other people’s affairs?” The Second Disciple’s eyes flashed with a moment of vicious malice and he immediately turned to say respectfully to the Spirit Lord: “Reporting to the Spirit Lord, Poison Ivy is involving himself into it.”
The Spirit Lord’s eyes narrowed up slightly and his gaze swept over Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy suddenly felt as if an unseen power had his throat clutched in its grasp, and it was highly agonizing.
“Bring him back as well” The Spirit Lord said coldly.
“Yes, Spirit Lord!” Without another word, the Second Disciple immediately got his men to bind up the prisoners with a wave of his hand.
