Suddenly, a slightly young and childish sounding voice rang out within the grand hall!
“As to who was the one that created the Spirit World, I think, no one knows it better than I do.”
The moment that voice fell, a small little figure suddenly came walking into the grand hall from outside, to stand right beside Jun Wu Xie!
When that figure appeared, it immediately caused the fake Spirit Lord and Wu Jiu to stare with their eyes wide, incredulity rising to show within them!
The person standing beside Jun Wu Xie was not anyone else but the one that had been imprisoned by Wu Jiu for a hundred years, the real ruler of the Spirit World, the Spirit Lord!
“You…..” The fake Spirit Lord stared at the face he had not seen for such a long time, high crashing waves surging within his heart. The Spirit Lord had been held in captivity for a hundred years, and restrained by six thick lengths of reinforced Soul Binding Chains. Not to mention that the Spirit Lord’s current power was already far from being as strong as before, but even when the Spirit Lord was at the peak of his power, he would still not have been able to break those restraints.
But, the person who should not have appeared the most was now standing there blatantly right before them, and that scene was something the fake Spirit Lord and Wu Jiu had least expected!
The Spirit Lord’s icy gaze swept over the fake Spirit Lord and Wu Jiu, the suffering of having been imprisoned for a hundred years causing a sliver of hatred to grow from his heart for the first time. His seemingly weak and frail body then suddenly burned with a raging spirit fire, and the air within the grand hall immediately turned thick and heavy!
“You had not expected this have you? I’ve regained my freedom.” The Spirit Lord said in a cold voice, his words filled with so much rage and aggrievement it was terrifying to see.
Wu Jiu stared in shock at the Spirit Lord that had suddenly appeared, his gaze suddenly turning towards Jun Wu Xie. On Jun Wu Xie’s face, a faint smile rose up, and though it was faint, it felt highly taunting and filled with ridicule.
“It’s you! You were the one that freed him? Impossible….. How could you possibly be capable of that.” Wu Jiu asked as he glared with Jun Wu Xie. He had thought that with Jun Wu Xie locked up in the dungeon, the fate that awaited her was only for her to be absorbed by the Spirit Fire. Never could he ever have thought that his casual handling of the matter would bring such dire consequences.
It was as if anything that happened when it came to Jun Wu Xie, would no longer be normal.
Jun Wu Xie merely looked at Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord calmly, her eyes not showing the slightest emotion.
“A hundred years’ imprisonment. What you have given to me, I will definitely return it all to you today!” The Spirit Lord said, his eyes flashing with intense hatred. He could no longer tolerate how he had been locked with in solidarity, and could no longer tolerate the fact that Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord was seeking to use the Spirit World to initiate such a maniacally cruel blood sacrifice!

“And you think you can?” The fake Spirit Lord recovered from his shock and he stared at the Spirit Lord who looked to be only about seven or eight years old through narrowed eyes, suddenly laughing out loud.
“Just how laughable is this? So what if you have regained your freedom? Do you really think the current you are qualified to stand against me? For me to crush you to death, it’s as easy as crushing an ant. I spared you your dog’s life for so many years only to use you to maintain the Spirit World, or otherwise, I have thousands and thousands of ways to make you disappear from this world. Do you really think that I do not dare to kill you? Since I was able to throw you into captivity once, I will be able to capture you another time.” The corners of the fake Spirit Lord’s lips hooked up into an extremely cruel smile, an icy chill rising up into his eyes. The venomous pair of eyes narrowed and his gaze slithered over the Spirit Lord’s frail figure, overflowing with contempt.
“I can only say that you’re so foolish. You had foolishly treated Wu Jiu as your most trusted aide in the beginning, to foolishly fall into my trap. So many years have passed and not only have you not learnt anything from it, you have become even more foolish instead. Having regained freedom and you did not even think of running away but come here with delusions of fighting me? Hahaha….. How could such a foolish spirit like you have possibly created the Spirit World?” The fake Spirit Lord had been greatly pricked by the words he heard and he was using the most venomous words he could to slice into the Spirit Lord’s heart. “But it is to be expected. It is exactly because of your foolishness that it has made all the spirits in the Spirit World become as incurably foolish as you. Or, how else would they be driven to split apart into such disunity?”
“What a bunch of sad and pitiful bunch of spirits, for them to be unable to even recognize their own Spirit Lord. It merely took a little it of scheming and trickery and I was able to make them go at each other’s throats. Tell me….. spirits that are so stupid, what use would they be alive? Why not just feed them to the Spirit Fire where they would at least have done something impressive which would make them more useful.” The fake Spirit Lord said highly arrogantly.
The shade of the Spirit Lord’s face changed. Even though he had been trapped within the dungeons all these years, but Wu Jiu had gone to see him frequently, most likely with the aim of ridiculing him for his incompetence, and more to brag and flaunt their achievements. So, even though he had not been able to leave the dungeons, the Spirit Lord still knew very much about the things that had been happening in the Spirit World.
The human spirits had thought that the Serene Spirit Towers would bring to them great powers and they wrecked their brains wanting to enter into the Serene Spirit Towers to cultivate, not knowing that they would end up becoming nourishment to feed the Spirit Fire in the Serene Spirit Towers.
And the construction of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower had even caused the Weapon Spirits and the Beast Spirits to become entangled in battle.
And all of this was known by the Spirit Lord, as Wu Jiu had seen that to be a form of torment for the Spirit Lord, where he frequently sent people to go gossip into his ears.
“Aren’t you afraid of retribution by doing all this! ?” The Spirit Lord just could not imagine that anyone could be so hard hearted and merciless under the Heavens where they could really take the lives of others to be used as chips to achieve their aims.
“Retribution?” The fake Spirit Lord raised up an eyebrow. He then looked with a pitying gaze at the ashen faced Spirit Lord and said: “Talking about retribution, you’re really so childish to bring up such a ridiculous argument. Instead of throwing such a superfluous concept like retribution at me, why not think about yourself instead? You have so wholeheartedly striven to create a paradise for spirits, but what did you get in the end? Having your spirit weakening as the days passed, to harbour a bunch of fools with malice in their hearts. Tell me….. could this be punishment from the Heavens for your foolishness? All those ignorant spirits have no right to live in this world and allowing them to become sacrifices to achieve the grand plan would be a deed of inestimable honour for them.”

“Enough!” The Spirit Lord shouted loudly, interrupting the inhuman words of the fake Spirit Lord.
“Whatever state the Spirit World is in, is not for you to say! This place is home to all the spirits! And we do not welcome disgusting fellows like you here.”
The fake Spirit Lord laughed contemptuously and Wu Jiu snorted derisively from the side.
“Don’t you feel that having you say all this now is just so laughable? My dear esteemed Spirit Lord, I kept you around only becau
se you created this Spirit World and only while you’re alive would the Spirit World not disappear. Keep that benevolence of yours away now. Before absolute power, that is just too funny.” Wu Jiu said as he looked at the Spirit Lord, not showing the slightest remorse for his betrayal, but exhibiting only the gleeful arrogance of victory.
The Spirit Lord’s face was turning green from rage towards Wu Jiu’s and the fake Spirit Lord’s echoing words. He had never been a spirit that was all that eloquent as he had always only been around simple and pure hearted spirits, so how could he possibly understand the mind of such vicious people.
It was precisely because of the Spirit Lord’s benevolent personality that he had drained his own powers to create the Spirit World where he had then fallen to Wu Jiu’s scheme so unguardedly.
It was at that moment that the Spirit Lord realized what was truly terrifying was not the Dark Emperor’s invasion, but was instead malicious and cunning plots such as this.
What the Dark Emperor brought to them, was more of a kind of deterrent pressure for them to submit to him, but all of that had been straightforward and clear. Even though the Dark Emperor unified the Middle Realm under one rule back then, there had not been any crafty plotting or wicked scheming. It might have been due to the Dark Emperor’s might that he did not need to do any of that. The Spirit Lord did not think that the Dark Emperor’s reign in the past was any good but compared to Wu Jiu, he would rather accept the Dark Emperor’s rule.
Afterall, all the spirits in the Spirit World were safe at that time, and as long as they submitted themselves to his rule, they would not be harmed, and were even accorded a corresponding level of protection.
But in Wu Jiu’s world, there were only plots and schemes, where under that dignified looking face, was a heart more cruel and vicious than an animal, selfish, ruthless….. That’s what was truly terrifying!
“Oh? Absolute power?” Jun Wu Xie suddenly opened her mouth to speak, and both the fake Spirit Lord and Wu Jiu turned to look at her.
Regardless of how miniscule and insignificant they felt that Jun Wu Xie was, there was one point that they could not deny. Everytime that Jun Wu Xie appeared, it would always disrupt their original plans. It was the case when capturing the Spiritual Bear, and the same when imprisoning her in the dungeons.
They just could not fathom how so many unimaginable and incredulous things could possibly manifest out from that petite and little young lady.
“Right. Absolute power. Just like you and your companions are unable to retaliate at all before me. Lowly weaklings can only submit themselves to what fate has laid out for them. All of you do not possess the ability to resist at all and in my eyes, you are all merely like a bunch of defenceless and helpless dogs.” The fake Spirit Lord said threateningly with his eyes narrowed, the venom spewing from his mouth terrifying.
The smile then faded from the corners of Jun Wu Xie’s mouth as she raised her head up, her icy cold gaze sweeping over the fake Spirit Lord.
Without knowing why, being stared at by those eyes of Jun Wu Xie’s, it made one shiver when one did not feel cold at all.
Even the confident and haughty fake Spirit Lord gradually restrained the smile on his face under Jun Wu Xie’s gaze, a strange fear swirling in his heart. That feeling had struck him for no good reason but it could clearly be felt.
“I hope, that the two of you will not regret what you have just said earlier.” Jun Wu Xie said slowly, her clear voice echoing in the ears of the fake Spirit Lord and Wu Jiu.

“Regret? Why would I regret it? Just because of a piece of trash like you and that worthless Spirit Lord? Hahaha…..” The fake Spirit Lord laughed even more arrogantly.
“What if you include us as well?” A voice suddenly rose up within the grand hall.
Several figures suddenly came walking into the grand hall. It was Qiao Chu and the other companions. Besides them, there were Flame Dragon, Poison Ivy, Drunk Lotus and Poppy who came walking out together with them.
Flame Dragon stood right at the back, its gargantuan body slipping into the immense hall, magnificent like an insurmountable high.mountain.
Qiao Chu and the companions came over to stand beside Jun Wu Xie, standing by her shoulders and those of the Spirit Lord.
“I’ve seen shamelessness, but never one as despicable as this. As a dove occupying the magpie’s nest, he’s still being so thick skinned I am left gasping in amazement. Does he really think he is peerlessly unmatched under the Heavens?” Qiao Chu said with a sneer as he looked at the fake Spirit Lord and Wu Jiu.
“You can’t blame them for being overconfident. You must understand that they have not seen much of the world you know?” Fei Yan chirped in from the side, sounding like he was explaining the situation, but the sarcasm in his words could not be any clearer.
“All of you have been rescued as well as I have thought.” Wu Jiu said as he narrowed his eyes, to look at the people before him. He was naturally able to recognize them, as he had almost fallen into their hands. How could he possibly be able to forget all that humiliation?
“We would naturally have to be here, or I would not be able to admire the scene where the scums here suffer a fate that’s worse than death. That would be such a pity.” Qiao Chu said highly fearlessly.
The gazes of Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy had been locked upon the figure of the genuine Spirit Lord all this time where Poison Ivy then suddenly took a step forward to kneel before the Spirit Lord.
“Your subordinate Poison Ivy had not been able to discover Wu Jiu’s wicked intentions earlier and have caused the Spirit Lord to undergo so much suffering. Your subordinate has been sorely incompetent!”
Flame Dragon lowered its enormous head, similarly exhibiting remorse and guilt.
If not for Jun Wu Xie’s rescue of the Spirit Lord, how could they have imagined that the most supreme Spirit Lord of their hearts had been held in captivity by Wu Jiu for a hundred long years! ? And in that one hundred years, the Spirit Lord’s position had actually be occupied by such a despicable scoundrel.
“Flame Dragon is guilty, and I beg for the Spirit Lord to mete out punishment.”
The moment they saw the Spirit Lord, they immediately realized that the Spirit Lord had not changed in those one hundred years, but that the one who had been thought to have lost his equitability was not their Spirit Lord at all!
“Get up. This has nothing to do with both of you. I was a bad judge of people myself, and the fault does not lie with you. The thing that has caused the Spirit World to suffer such great losses is my fault.” The Spirit Lord said with a sigh. How could he possibly blame anyone else? Everything that was happening today, weren’t they all irrefutable proof of his very own incompetence?
“Are all of you done with the blabbering? All of you are about to die anyway, is there even any use of saying all that?” Wu Jiu said sneeringly, staring at Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy.
Flame Dragon raised its head, and glared angrily at Wu Jiu.
“Wu Jiu! As a member of the Spirit World, you betrayed the trust the Spirit Lord had in you, and committed such a vicious and unpardonable crime that brought harm to so many spirits, inciting conflict among the various races. I, Flame Dragon hereby vow, that you and I will not coexist in this life!”
“Tch! Against you?” Wu Jiu did not show the slightest bit of fear, his face filled with utter contempt, as his gaze swept over Jun Wu Xie and the rest of them.
“I had been think how you two rats would have the guts to come make noise here. It seems that you’ve gathered yourself quite a number of helpers. But….. with a whole bunch of losers who had been defeated by my Lord, even gathered together, what kind of a stir will you be able to kick up? You are all merely seeking to be humiliated once again!
“Alright, since all of you are being so obstinate, I will
not spare you any more chances.” Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly raised his hands to clap his hands together.

The instant that clap of his hands sounded, a shadow appeared slowly from the back of the grand hall.
Soul Slayer came out from under the Spirit Lord’s shocked gaze, to come stand beside Wu Jiu.
“Soul Slayer?” Flame Dragon’s eyes widened, as he stared in disbelief at the figure of Soul Slayer standing beside Wu Jiu.
“The Spirit World does not only consist of stubborn and obstinate fools like you. There are also outstanding talents who know what’s good for them.” Wu Jiu said with a sneering laugh.
Wincing pain spread through Flame Dragon’s heart. It could not understand why Soul Slayer would want to stand on Wu Jiu’s side. Didn’t Soul Slayer hear everything that had just been said?
“Soul Slayer! Wu Jiu harboured such evil intentions and held the Spirit Lord captive. The one sitting up there upon the throne now is not the Spirit Lord that all of us have pledged allegiance to! Our Spirit Lord is the one standing here, how could you…..”
“Flame Dragon, there’s no need to continue.” Poison Ivy’s brows were knitted together. Towards all this, he did not seem to be surprised.
“Why?” Flame Dragon’s face was filled with incomprehension.
“You’re still being such a fool Flame Dragon. Do you really think that just because he’s some useless Spirit Lord and he is worth having all spirits bodies pleading their loyalty to him? Stop pulling my leg. With one’s self interest before them, real loyalty does not exist at all.” Wu Jiu continued to sneer.
