Jun Wu Yao did not hold much interest in having the Spirit Lord’s pledge of allegiance as if not for Jun Wu Xie, he wouldn’t have bothered himself with the Spirit World’s affairs.
Tossing the matter of the Spirit Lord’s submission to the back of his mind, Jun Wu Yao stretched his hand out to pull Jun Wu Xie into his embrace. Compared to the cold indifference from before, his face then rose with a smile.
“Little Xie, in what manner do you want them to die?” Jun Wu Yao asked with a smile. It was feared that only he was qualified to spout such arrogant words.
“Anything,” Jun Wu Xie said as she looked at Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord calmly. Letting them live another second in the Spirit World would just disgust people.
“Little Xie, you’re still as benevolent as ever.” Jun Wu Yao said with a laugh. He went on to raise his hand and the black mist clutched around Wu Jiu’s and the fake Spirit Lord’s neck suddenly bored into their bodies. Countless lines of black blood covered over their bodies at a speed visible to the human eye, the bulging veins burrowing under their skin and beginning to swell, twisting up as they snaked to reach every single part.
At the moment when the black blood lines filled every single part of their skin, the blood veins then exploded!
Black mist wafted in the air within the grand hall, and there was no sign of Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord to be found in there.
The two biggest culprits who had stirred up so much turmoil in the Spirit World for the past hundred years had their lives taken away by Jun Wu Yao so nonchalantly…
It was till the black mist had gradually dissipated that Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy who stood shell shocked in the grand hall slowly regained their senses. Their gazes swept over every corner of the grand hall, as if they were trying to look for a sign of Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord.
But, no matter how hard they searched, there wasn’t the slightest trace of them left.
The deaths of Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord, had occurred so effortlessly under Jun Wu Yao’s hands, which had been as easy as crushing two tiny ants!
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that the Dark Emperor who had thrown the Spirit World into panic would now become their benefactor who saved the entire Spirit World?
Flame Dragon and Poison Ivy looked at each other and they saw in each others’ eyes, shock and deference…..

The deaths of Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord indicated that the Spirit World was finally freed from the enormous conspiracy.
Soul Slayer was immediately thrown into the dungeons by the Spirit Lord. Towards Soul Slayer’s selfish ambitions, the Spirit Lord was highly pained, but his benevolent character caused him to be unable to steel his heart and have Soul Slayer executed.
It was Flame Dragon who was wishing that it could just tear that traitor up in shreds.
The Spirit Palace was once again returned into the Spirit Lord’s hands. Having gone through so much, the Spirit Lord came to feel that there was no place in the world where peace and security would be assured. The Spirit World itself had a unique selection process and the process was one where even the Spirit Lord himself was not be able to control what kind of spirits were accepted. But with Wu Jiu’s and the fake Spirit Lord’s appearance, it meant that the Higher Realm already had their eye set upon the Spirit World. The Spirit Lord did not know what method they had used to gain entry in but he was more concerned whether a similar incident like this would happen again.
Jun Wu Xie did not delay much longer and went rushing straight to the fourth Serene Spirit Tower to have Brownie rescued. At the same time, the Spirit Lord revealed the evil plans of Wu Jiu and the fake Spirit Lord to all the spirits, and destroyed all four Serene Spirit Towers!
The revelation of that fact caused a huge stir within the Spirit World. Human spirits who had gone into the Serene Spirit Tower felt fear like they had never felt before. They had been obsessed with the Serene Spirit Towers for as long as a hundred years and it was only at this moment that they came to know that the towers were not heaven but a place from Hell!
It was known now that all those human spirits who had mysteriously disappeared had been devoured by the twelfth level’s Spirit Fire and the human spirits were all relieved that they had not been that gifted to have been able to go up into the twelfth level.
After the Serene Spirit Towers were destroyed, the spirits then came to realize in horror that underneath every Serene Spirit Tower, an incredibly spacious underground dungeon had been built. And within the dungeon, there were remains of lengths and lengths of battered looking Soul Binding Chains. None of them would ever know which highly powerful spirit had actually been imprisoned in there when these Serene Spirit Towers were being built.
When they came to realize that while they had been cultivating in the towers, the spirit in the underground dungeon was faced with nothing but impending death, mourning in despair, the thought causing them to shiver involuntarily.
And the ominous shadow that had blanketed the Spirit World faded away…..
With Soul Slayer imprisoned and Wu Jiu dead, the leaders of the Spirit World’s various races underwent a good reshuffling.
Given not much of a choice, the Spirit Lord invited the previous Spirit Master to come out of seclusion, hoping that he could assume the position of Spirit Master once more. But the previous Spirit Master rejected the offer, saying that his bad judgement of people had caused the entire Spirit World to be dragged into all this and refused the Spirit Lord’s invitation. This time, he firmly recommended for Nalan Shan to take up the position to become the new Spirit Master.
Nalan Shan had not even fully recovered from his injuries before he was shoved up into the seat of Spirit Master, which caused him to become rather flustered and nervous.
The Spirit Lord then picked one with a pure and kindly character from among the Weapon Spirits to replace Soul Slayer’s position. There were no changes with the arrangements among the Beast Spirits and it was until the situation had stabilized that Poison Ivy asked for himself to be relieved of his responsibility over the Plant Spirits, merely saying that he had become too used to his unworldly and leisurely ways and did not want to be restrained.
The Spirit Lord could do nothing about it but to grant him his wish.
Everything in the Spirit World fell back into the peaceful ways of the past and all the spirits who had died under Wu Jiu’s insidious plot were deeply engraved into the memories of their fellow spirits.
The Weapon Spirits descended into a long and lengthy silence. Soul Slayer’s betrayal and the fact they had succumbed under Wu Jiu’s incitement to fight the Beast Spirits caused all of them to feel highly remorseful and uneasy, to the extent that the Weapon Spirits would detour in a roundabout way whenever they encountered the Beast Spirits.

With the matter in the Spirit World settled, Qiao Chu and the others were finally able to continue their cultivation with any worries. Brownie was always ignoring the Beast Spirits’ incessant pursuit and interception, doggedly running off to mix around with Nalan Shan, causing countless Beast Spirits to want to cry but no tears came out, feeling that their very own Spiritual Bear had been snatched away from them.
But Jun Wu Xie’s heart did not fall back into peaceful calm. Having been in the Spirit World for so long and after Little Lotus and Poppy had searched for so long, she still had not managed to locate any sign of her father, Jun Gu, giving her no choice but to go seek the Spirit Lord’s help.
The Spirit Lord was the Spirit World’s creator and his perceptive senses encompassed the entire Spirit World. If he chose to, he would be able to find any single spirit he
wanted to seek.
But even after the Spirit Lord searched through the Spirit World more than ten times, he was not able to find Jun Gu’s spirit soul, a point that the Spirit Lord found hard to comprehend.
“I’m sorry. I really can’t find your father’s spirit. Are you certain….. that he has come to the Spirit World?” The Spirit Lord asked as he looked apologetically at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie’s brows knitted up slightly. The Soul Calming Jade had protected her father’s soul and logically, her father’s spirit should have come to the Spirit World. But….. why was she unable to find him? Jun Wu Yao who was seated beside her then gave her tiny hand a squeeze, as a form of consolation.
“I have sent people do look into it and in the last ten plus years, we did not have anyone who looks like your father come to the Spirit World.” The Spirit Lord said carefully as he looked ar Jun Wu Xie. Every spirit who comes into the Spirit World, would go through a certain form of registration soon upon their arrival. He had checked through it, and he had not found anything.
“I don’t know…..” Jun Wu Xie sighed. She had thought that she would be able to find Jun Gu’s spirit on this trip to the Spirit World and let her father return home, but….. things were not turning out as she wished.
“You mustn’t be too disappointed though. Do you remember the Spirit Tree I told you about?” The Spirit Lord then asked.
Jun Wu Xie raised her head slightly, and nodded her head as she looked at the Spirit Lord.
“The Spirit Tree, is the purest spirit form that birthed the entire world. The Middle Realm has the Spirit World, and up there in the Upper Realm, they have the Spirit Tree. Back when I created this Spirit World here, I had just emulated the way the Spirit Tree did it. At the place where the Spirit Tree stands as its support, there are spirit souls living there as well. Maybe….. Just maybe your father might be there.” The Spirit Lord said with a laugh.
Upon hearing that, Jun Wu Xie’s eyes immediately lit up.
But the Spirit Lord’s words suddenly took a sharp turn.
“Although that might be the case, I do not suggest that you go to the Upper Realm. I have already told you about the Sacrifice of the Three Realms. It is highly possible that Wu Jiu and that imposter were sent here by the Upper Realm and from the way things stood, they had started moving from a long time ago and it was feared that things were not all that peaceful within the Three Realms. Although the four totems in the Spirit World were destroyed, there are one hundred and eight totems for the Blood Sacrifice of the Three Realms. They had even been able to infiltrate into the Spirit World so gaining entry into all the other places would be a piece of cake. I am inclined to think that the Middle Realm is already filled with other totems and we do not know when their plans will be complete.” The Spirit Lord could not help but be worried. This was no longer turmoil that affected just the Spirit World alone. It now encompassed the entire Three Realms.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed up her eyes and an image of the enormous runes circles carved in the dungeons beneath the Serene Spirit Towers rose up in her mind involuntarily. The four rune circles were exactly the same, all seemingly depicting strange ferocious beasts like a dragon or tiger. And it was not known what they drew those runes with that they could not be erased. They could only break it by completely destroying the objects the runes were appended onto.
“You are saying that they could possibly have drawn up these rune totems in other places throughout the Middle Realm?” Jun Wu Xie then asked.

“To sacrifice the Three Realms in blood, you cannot do away with the Blood Sacrificial Array and the sacrificial medium.” The Spirit Lord said.
“What is a sacrificial medium?” Jun Wu Xie did not really comprehend the term.
The Spirit Lord then replied: “I do not know in detail, but just the general gist of it. They will require a spirit soul not from this world, and with the unique qualities of the otherworldly soul, they will then be able to open up a channel for the sacrifice.”
[Otherworldly soul?]
When Jun Wu Xie heard those words, her heart trembled slightly. On the surface, those two words possibly meant a soul that did not belong to this world, and Jun Wu Xie herself had been a foreign soul that had been warped here, which also meant she was not of this world.
Caught up in her shock, Jun Wu Xie did not notice the cold glint that flashed in the eyes of Jun Wu Yao seated right beside her.
“Talk about otherworldly souls has been around from a very long time ago, but as to what it is exactly, I do not know clearly, and am not aware whether they have found it. But now that they have started on building the Sacrificial Array, I would assume that they have already found their target.” The Spirit Lord went on to explain further with a sigh.
“If their plan is allowed to succeed, then it was be calamitous for the Three Realms, as all living beings in the Three Realms will then be wiped out.” The Spirit Lord said, suddenly raising his head up to look at Jun Wu Yao.
“Dark Emperor, I know that you are indifferent and have never liked to be constrained. But this matter concerns the entire Middle Realm and I beg for the Dark Emperor to help us! Save the Three Realms from its disastrous fate!” As he spoke, the Spirit Lord stood up and knelt.
But before his knees could even land, Jun Wu Yao stuck one of his long legs out and lifted the Spirit Lord’s feet right off the ground.
“There is no need for that. Even if it’s not for the Three Realms, I will not allow their plan to succeed.” Jun Wu Yao said, his eyes flashing with a cold sneer.
The Spirit Lord was taken aback and he froze for a good while before he recovered and said: “The Dark Emperor already knew of this matter before?” He had not seen Jun Wu Yao show the slightest sign of surprise or shock all this while.
“Mm.” Jun Wu Yao answered half heartedly.
“We will have to trouble the Dark Emperor. If there is anything that the Spirit World is able to do to help, the Spirit World will spare no effort!” The Spirit Lord then said in delighted surprise. Jun Wu Yao’s might made him dare to hold more hope towards the entire matter.
Afterall, the one that would be able to stand against the Upper Realm, would not be an ordinary person.
Jun Wu Yao waved his hand dismissively, not really caring for the Spirit Lord’s generous gratitude.
Instead, it was Jun Wu Xie who suddenly said: “I want to go back.”
“Hm?” Jun Wu Yao raised up an eyebrow slightly.
Jun Wu Xie turned her head to look at Jun Wu Yao, her eyes with determination written all over them
“Since the Upper Realm is intending to set up the Sacrificial Array in the Middle Realm, then I must go find all the totems and destroy them.” Jun Wu Xie had a feeling that the Twelve Palaces would definitely have such rune totems among them!
“Alright, if you say we go back, then we’ll go back. As per your wish.” Jun Wu Yao said with a highly indulgent smile.
“What are you talking about? Go back?” The Spirit Lord was a little confused as he listened at the side.
Jun Wu Xie then said: “My flesh body is not dead, and I am not a dead spirit, but a living soul.”
The Spirit Lord’s eyes widened, his eyes utterly incredulous.
Since time immemorial, only one person had been able to come walking into the Spirit World as a living person, only Jun Wu Yao! Even if you beat him to death, he would never have imagined that Jun Wu Xie had actually also….. But as he turned to see Jun Wu Yao’s doting and indulgent eyes as they looked at Jun Wu Xie, the Spirit Lord was immediately dumbstruck.
Unless he was blind, or he would not be able to miss the tender lovingness Jun Wu Yao was showering upon Jun Wu Xie.
But…..
The Dark Emperor had actually fallen in love with another person?
Just the thought of it was al
ready so unbelievable. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, the Spirit Lord would never have believed such a thing at all.
“Cough….. The Dark Emperor is indeed all powerful.” The Spirit Lord was highly tactful, but even thinking with just his big toe, he already knew who had brought Jun Wu Xie in here.

Although Jun Wu Xie wanted to go back sooner to check if there would be any rune totems among the Twelve Palaces, it was still at least a month or two till the time that the bodies of Qiao Chu and the others would fully recover. And if Jun Wu Yao and Jun Wu Xie were to leave, then it would be very tough for Qiao Chu and the companions to leave the Spirit World.
It was Jun Wu Yao who came up with a solution to that. He left the Spirit World first temporarily, and handed the task of searching for the rune totems over to Ye Mei and the others.
And over that period, Jun Wu Xie and her companions used the time to continue with their cultivation, to increase their power of the spirit as much as possible, as only by strengthening their spirits would they be able to make themselves much more invincible.
The Spirit Lord’s soul was weakening, but Jun Wu Xie was able to make use of the Spirit Reinforcement runes to let the Spirit Lord cultivate his power of the spirit as quickly as possible and she shared the method with the Spirit Lord completely as well. That made the Spirit Lord feel as if he had been given the greatest treasure and he immediately promised to provide Jun Wu Xie and her companions the best of environments for their cultivation.
