[When did this kid become a Purple Spirit?]
Elder Yue’s heart jumped a little.
“Here, Elder.” Jun Wu Xie acknowledged indifferently.
That easy and indifferent demeanor, immediately made Elder Yue’s face to turn a shade darker.
“Do you know what you have just done?” Elder Yue asked in a cold voice.
“Oh? What have I done?” Jun Wu Xie arched up an eyebrow.
Elder Yue snorted derisively. “Within the Shadow Moon Palace, its disciples are strictly prohibited from fighting among themselves, and knowing that, you have wilfully violated those rules by wounding several disciples in broad daylight. Do you realize the severity of your actions! ?”
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up as she stared at Elder Yue who had come prepared, an icy chill rising up in her heart.
The speed that Elder Yue arrived here was a little too fast. The youths had just left not long ago and Elder Yue had already led a group of people to come here. If it was said that Elder Yue did not know anything about “Chang Huan’s agreement” with those few youths before, Jun Wu Xie would not believe a word of it.
From the looks of the size of the group he brought here, Elder Yue must have planned all of this right from the start!
Jun Wu Xie had really not thought that with her just having come here to the Shadow Moon Palace, she would immediately be met with such a great show!
Volume 18
Chapter 1777: “Strife and Intrigue (2)”
“Chang Huan, we can disregard the usual misdemeanor you are always up to, but on this recent trip to the Pure Grace Palace, you had also contributed absolutely nothing at all. And now, you dared to violate the palace rules the very moment you come back, where you wounded your fellow disciples. You’re exhibiting such sheer arrogance and showing complete disregard for anyone!” Elder Yue berated Jun Wu Xie in a highly self righteous voice.
Jun Wu Xie had an eyebrow lifted as she looked at Elder Yue with his high posturing, and she sneered coldly in her mind.
Elder Yue had really put an enormous hat onto her head. On the trip to the Pure Grace Palace for the birthday celebrations, he was claiming that she had not achieved anything. Could he even have possibly been hoping that she would be able to win some benefits while she was in the Pure Grace Palace and bring it back to hand it to the palace?
Moreover, Jun Wu Xie did not believe that Elder Yue really had a pair of such far hearing ears that he would be able to know exactly everything that occured here in such a short period of time right after it happened, and to bring with him a whole group of people to come find fault with him. It was obvious that Elder Yue had planned all of this.
Jun Wu Xie did not need to think much about it before she already knew what kind of intentions Elder Yue had in mind.
Yue Ye was Yue Yi’s younger sister and Elder Ying was not on good terms with Elder Yue for a long time. Yue Yi was Elder Yue’s biggest chip in hand and if Yue Yi were to see his most precious little sister outraged by Elder Ying’s most favoured pupil, then based on Yue Yi’s temperament, he would have lashed out right there on the spot. And even if Yue Yi were to beat Chang Huan to death, Elder Yue would be able to use the excuse that Chang Huan broke the palace rules as a cover, to bestow favour upon Yue Yi and at the same time rid himself of a pawn in the hands of his hated rival. It could be said that it was a scheme that gave him the best of both worlds.
If not for that, Jun Wu Xie wouldn’t be able to have realized why Elder Yue would rush over here so fast, or why those youths would dare to make such an agreement with Chang Huan even when they knew that Yue Ye was Elder Yue’s adopted granddaughter.
It was obvious that before Chang Huan had gone to the Pure Grace Palace, Elder Yue had already set up the trap, to wait for Chang Huan to fall into it himself.
But what a pity, the one who returned from the Pure Grace Palace, was Jun Wu Xie, and not that fool, Chang Huan!
Elder Yue’s scheme did not come out according to what he had planned, creating a misstep in his plan that was to kill two birds with one stone. All he was thinking of now was to get rid of Jun Wu Xie now, which would still work out for him.
“Men! Arrest Chang Huan immediately and lock him up in the dungeon.” Elder Yue did not give Jun Wu Xie any chance to defend herself at all and just immediately ordered for the men to capture her, thinking to strike hard and fast, to get rid of Chang Huan first.
Several of the Shadow Moon Palace’s disciples immediately walked towards Jun Wu Xie, but how could Jun Wu Xie possibly do nothing and just be a sitting duck?
Before the disciples even got close, the purple coloured spirit glow that had just dissipated flared out once again!
A dominating surge of spirit power pushed the disciples back in retreat in that instant!
“Chang Huan! Are you thinking of rebelling! ?” This time, Elder Yue could clearly feel just how dense the spirit power coming out from Jun Wu Xie’s body really was. And upon seeing that, it just further steeled his resolve to want to get rid of Jun Wu Xie!
Chang Huan’s power was originally not all that significant, but he had however gained the high favour of Elder Ying, who shielded the kid in the Shadow Moon Palace. Elder Yue was seeking to eradicate Chang Huan because he wanted to hit at Elder Ying’s morale. But when the mediocre Chang Huan suddenly displayed such astounding spirit power, the urge in Elder Yue to have him killed greatly intensified!
As his eyes, had undoubtedly seen that the spirit power on Jun Wu Xie’s body was thicker and denser than that of Yue Yi’s!
It was clear to see that Jun Wu Xie’s power had surpassed Yue Yi’s and that was one point that Elder Yue would not be able to tolerate!
“Kid! I will really like to see just what kind of great capabilities you hold!” The glint of murder came to the surface in Elder Yue’s eyes, and a silver slight suddenly shrouded Elder Yue’s body!
Volume 18
Chapter 1778: “Strife and Intrigue (3)”
Among the Twelve Palaces, people who were able to break through to the Silver Spirit were almost only the various Palace Lords themselves. But there were some Elders who have already broken through to the Silver Spirit in existence, but the number of them were extremely rare!
Elder Yue was considered to be the most senior in the Shadow Moon Palace and it was rumored outside that his powers could very well be above that of the current Palace Lord. Upon seeing that silver spirit light appear now, Jun Wu Xie was even more certain of that point.
“Kid, you think a Purple Spirit is all that great? Let me tell you, before a Silver Spirit, the Purple Spirit is just a helpless sheep waiting to be slaughtered!” Elder Yue said with a disdainful sneer.
Standing at the side, Yue Yi was bathed in cold sweat, highly worried for Jun Wu Xie. He wanted to step forth to dissuade Elder Yue but was stopped by a glance from Jun Wu Xie, so he could do nothing but remain in his spot, his fists tightly clenched at his sides.
This was the prowess of Elder Yue. His powers, even when placed among the most powerful and elite of the other palaces, would have few able to compare, whatsmore in just the Shadow Moon Palace itself.
Yue Yi had not slacked in his training from when he was very young, all because he sought to be able to surpass Elder Yue one day, and save himself and his little sister from the evil claws of Elder Yue. Having suffered under those claws of Elder Yue for so many years, Yue Yi knew it better than anyone, that this old man who looked to be benevolent and kindly, was in actual fact just how cruel and vicious!
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up as she stared at the spirit power swirling around Elder Yue, her eyes rising up with a cold glint.
At the moment that Elder Yue was just about to capture Jun Wu Xie, a voice suddenly rang out that held Elder Yue from moving.
“Elder Yue! What are you trying to do! ?” A deep bellow filled with rage sounded. It was not known when Elder Ying had rushed over here, as Elder Ying came leading a few other Elders who supported him, making thei
r way straight towards Elder Yue.
Elder Yue cursed inwardly in his heart, but had no choice but to hold his hand. With a stern face, he then said: “Elder Ying, this here is your good disciple? On the very day he just came back, he had already gotten into a fight and wounded several of our palace’s disciples. Such brazen recklessness, and if we do not properly instill in him the Shadow Moon Palace’s rules, how much more atrocious will he grow to become?”
Elder Ying’s brows creased up together. When he had just received the news, he had thought it to be ridiculous. He knew very well just what kind of capabilities Chang Huan possessed and if it was said that Chang Huan was able to injure several of the Shadow Moon Palace’s disciples, he wouldn’t believe it even if you beat him to death. But when he saw the purple coloured spirit glow around Jun Wu Xie’s body, Elder Ying’s heart quaked violently!
[Purple Spirit!]
[The kid has actually broken through to the realm of the Purple Spirit!]
[How is it possible?]
Elder Ying’s heart was filled with doubts, but with Elder Yue’s predatory eyes gazing so covetously at the side, he was unable to investigate deeper into it.
“Since Elder Yue is aware that Chang Huan is my disciple, then if commits a wrong, it will naturally be me who will deal with it. Since Elder Yue is preaching on the palace rules, then I will talk to you about the palace rules. Have you forgotten? In our Shadow Moon Palace, if a disciple makes an infraction, then the Elder guiding them will have to deal with them accordingly, and others are not to stick their hand in with disciplining the disciple?” Elder Ying said as he raised his chin slightly, putting himself right between Elder Yue and Jun Wu Xie, his towering figure completely blocking Jun Wu Xie from Elder Yue’s sight, looking highly protective of his charge.
Elder Yue discreetly clenched his jaw. The Shadow Moon Palace’s rules were as Elder Ying had said, and that was why he had immediately led his people to come rushing over, seeking to get rid of Jun Wu Xie before Elder Ying discovered anything, never expecting that Elder Ying would come rushing over in time.
Volume 18
Chapter 1779: “Strife and Intrigue (4)”
“Since Elder Ying is saying that, I believe that Elder Ying should know how to deal with this matter. Those wounded disciples need someone to give them a satisfactory answer. I will report this matter to the Lord and I think the Lord believes that Elder Ying will be able to deal with the matter appropriately.” Elder Yue said with a sneering smile, hiding the rage within his heart.
That he had failed to get rid of Jun Wu Xie this day, caused Elder Yue to be filled with regret. Yue Yi was the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation in the Shadow Moon Palace but now “Chang Huan” had popped up unexpectedly from nowhere. It would still be good if the incident could be used to suppress “Chang Huan” newfound prominence as if he was not stifled and pressed down, then whether it was for Yue Yi or for Elder Yue himself, it might affect them adversely.
“Elder Yue can rest assured. I will naturally deal with it according to the palace rules.” Elder Ying said.
With the matter having come to this, Elder Yue was not able to strike Jun Wu Xie down anymore, and could now do nothing but leave reluctantly.
When Yue Yi was leaving, he showed obvious hesitation as he turned his head to look at Yue Ye standing there with her feet bare and her eyes filled with worry. But Elder Yue’s gaze made him not dare to tarry a moment longer, but to turn his eyes away to catch up with the group in silence.
The moment Elder Yue left, Elder Ying immediately kept away his aggressive demeanor and turned himself around, to look at Jun Wu Xie standing right behind him, his eyes looking rather complicated.
Jun Wu Xie stared straight back into Elder Ying’s eyes, without avoiding his gaze at all.
“You rascal, stirring up trouble for me the very moment you come back. I need to account for this incident to those disciples in the palace, so you just follow me back now and I will definitely have to punish you properly for this.” Elder Ying said with his brows creased together in a frown, his voice stern.
The other Elders then dispersed at a signal from Elder Ying and Jun Wu Xie retracted the spirit power shrouding her body before she went to follow behind Elder Ying.
A slight breeze blew past, tinged with a slight chill, which made Yue Ye who stood there shiver in cold. She stared at the back view of Jun Wu Xie which was growing more distant, no one knowing what was going through her mind. It might be because she was feeling the chill as her body trembled and she quickly hugged her arms to run back inside her own little courtyard.
Elder Ying did not bring Jun Wu Xie to the place where disciples of the Shadow Moon Palace received their punishments, but instead led Jun Wu Xie back to his room.
Once inside, Elder Ying sat himself down on the chair, and he could not help but scanned his eyes over Jun Wu Xie from head to toe.
“Kid, aren’t you going to tell me honestly just what is it with that spirit power you have on you?” Elder Ying asked with his eyes narrowed up.
“Doesn’t the Elder think that this is good?” Jun Wu Xie asked, with a shrug of her shoulders, and not the slightest bit of nervousness was seen on her.
“Good? What’s so good about it? That fella, that Elder Yue had wanted to have you killed today! Do you really think that the Purple Spirit is all that invincible? Haven’t you seen how badly suppressed that kid, Yue Yi is by Elder Yue? Although your powers are higher than Yue Yi’s by a stretch, but all below the Silver Spirit are deemed to be insignificant louses. You couldn’t possibly be unaware of the impossible gap between a Purple Spirit and a Silver Spirit would you? Would you believe that if Elder Yue had his heart set on wanting to have you eradicated today, with your skills, you would not be able to even withstand three strokes from him?” Elder Ying asked in a deep voice.
“In whose hands the prized deer will finally fall into, how could anyone possibly know without even giving it a try?” Jun Wu Xie had an eyebrow arched up, her eyes rising with a glint of confidence.
Elder Ying drew in a deep breath.
“Chang Huan. Or should I call you by another name?” Elder Ying’s words were shocking, having actually seen through Jun Wu Xie’s disguise.
But against that question from Elder Ying, Jun Wu Xie was not showing the least bit of panic, but instead went walking over to a chair at the side to sit herself down.
Volume 18
Chapter 1780: “Taking What Each Needs (1)”
“If you like, you can continue to call me Chang Huan.” Jun Wu Xie said to Elder Ying indifferently.
Elder Ying had not thought that after Jun Wu Xie’s disguise had been seen through, she could still remain so calm and the gaze he was looking at her with then unconsciously filled up with a trace of admiration. “You’ve got some guts. Although I do not know who you are, but you actually dare to come sneak into the Shadow Moon Palace disguised as Chang Huan. Aren’t you afraid that I will immediately reveal your identity to others and make it impossible for you to walk out of the Shadow Moon Palace alive?”
Jun Wu Xie lifted up her eyes to look at Elder Ying to reply: “If you had such intentions, you would have handed me over to Elder Yue just now.”
Although Chang Huan did not have anyone he was especially familiar or close with in the Shadow Moon Palace, but Elder Ying often provided backing for Chang Huan and he would naturally know Chang Huan a lot better than others. Jun Wu Xie had known it all along that if she used her powers today, she would have then exposed her identity to Elder Ying.
The sudden increase powers, in the eyes of others, could have been due to Chang Huan hiding it to not attract attention, but for Elder Ying who was the person responsible for guiding and teaching Chang Huan, he would naturally know very clearly of the kind of talent and the state of Chang Huan’s meridians.
A person might due to a fortuitous encounter or some special reason be able to achieve a breakthrough of their powers to realms they would us
ually not be able to attain, but no one could possibly shoot from a yellow spirit to the Purple Spirit’s fourth stage in just a mere month!
A human body’s meridians had its own limits and before they are given careful nursing, it is impossible to breakthrough those limits. And the nursing process was an extremely slow one, and not something that could be achieved in just one short month.
Jun Wu Xie had been brazenly daring today because she had her own reasons for it.
“Kid, a person shouldn’t be too arrogant. The taste of one’s downfall due to overconfidence isn’t all that sweet.” Elder Ying sighed softly. Although his face showed disapproval, the meaning behind Elder Ying’s words instead seem to verify what Jun Wu Xie was guessing in her mind.
“Whether I’m arrogant or not is not important. What’s important is whether I can be of use to you.” Jun Wu Xie said as she lifted up a teacup, to slowly sip from it.
“The Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s health is deteriorating by the day and most of the palace’s daily affairs are handled by you and Elder Yue. A mountain cannot contain two tigers and Elder Yue and you are like fire and water. He holds in his hand the most outstanding young disciple in the Shadow Moon Palace while your subordinates clearly number next to nothing, but just one piece of useless trash like Chang Huan. All of this, doesn’t it make you feel that aggrieved in the slightest?” Jun Wu Xie asked, an eyebrow raising up as she looked at Elder Ying.
Elder Ying drew in a deep breath. “What you say is correct, but at the same time erroneous. Although I am not on good terms with Elder Yue, it is not because of power within the Shadow Moon Palace.”
“Oh?” Jun Wu Xie then went.
Elder Ying looked at Jun Wu Xie, but did not seem like he intended to continue speaking about it.
“Kid, whatever your objective is here in the Shadow Moon Palace, I do not care. But if you wish to continue to live while remaining safe and sound in the Shadow Moon Palace, you have to help me do one thing.” Elder Ying suddenly said.
