Chapter 1880: “Rumblings of Disorder (3)”
“Oh?” Jun Wu Xie arched up an eyebrow, and her eyes flashed with a glint.
“They are finally unable to sit back anymore?” Jun Wu Xie said as her eyes narrowed up slightly. With the kind of might the Flame Demons Palace and the Blood Fiend Palace possessed, if things had not reached a stage where it was getting out of hand, they would definitely not lower themselves to do something so demeaning to themselves.
Over the past half year, she had not once stepped out from the Shadow Moon Palace and most of the news were brought in by Elder Ying and the two men from the Night Regime. So, even if she had no interaction with the outside world, she still knew clearly about the chaos within the Twelve Palaces throughout this period.
Looks like Qiao Chu and the others had been very successful with their missions and the nails she buried into the Twelve Palaces were taking effect.
The time to deal with the Twelve Palaces had almost come.
Elder Ying was rather surprised to see Jun Wu Xie’s reaction.
Could it be that her objective was not just the Shadow Moon Palace?
“Accept their invitation.” Jun Wu Xie said.
“Accept? But…. the Shadow Moon Palace no longer has a Palace Lord…..” Elder Ying said with mournful expression.
Jun Wu Xie lifted up an eyebrow as she looked at Elder Ying. “Am I not the Palace Lord?”
She had annihilated the Shadow Moon Palace and who would question what she wanted to do in here?
Elder Ying stared with his eyes widened and looked incredulously at Jun Wu Xie. He had a feeling that Jun Wu Xie was going to do something that would shake the world this time.
“Tell the people of the Twelve Palaces that the Shadow Moon Palace has had a change of regime and as to the identity….. Didn’t the late Palace Lord have a younger sister?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
“But the previous Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s younger sister died when she was very young….. Ah! I understand!” It suddenly dawned upon Elder Ying what Jun Wu Xie was saying.
Many things in the Twelve Palaces were mostly withheld from others outside the palace and there was no way for other palaces to discern the real truth behind many things that happened.
Jun Wu Xie nodded,
“There is one more problem. There is no one in the Shadow Moon Palace anymore, so are we going there with just the few of us here?” Elder Ying was beginning to feel a little awkward.
The Shadow Moon Palace’s direct disciples had all been killed and disciples from the branches were too obviously weak. With the Twelve Palaces congregating this time, all the palaces would surely bring only disciples with sufficient power there to give a show of strength, but they were sorely inadequate in this department to buff up appearances.
Jun Wu Xie raised her hand up slightly.
Ye Sha and Ye Gi instantly appeared behind her.
“Young Miss!” The two men greeted with a knee on the ground.
“Have they arrived?” Jun Wu Xie suddenly asked that question that did not make any sense.
“Almost, two weeks at the most to arrival.” Ye Sha said.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head in satisfaction.
Elder Ying’s face was one of puzzlement.
“When did the Flame Demons Palace guys set the time as?” Jun Wu Xie looked at Elder Ying to ask.
“One month later, close to Mount Fu Yao.” Elder Ying replied.
“That is adequate. You do not have to worry about the problem with disciples. I’ll make arrangements for that.” Jun Wu Xie said.
Although Elder Ying was feeling rather befuddled, he did not dare to probe further. As Jun Wu Xie had not strayed with everything that she had done till this point, he similarly chose to trust her.
“Then I’ll go send out the reply.” Elder Ying then said.
The Flame Demons Palace’s invitation, would need a proper reply.
“Alright.” Jun Wu Xie nodded.
Elder Ying had just left but just before he stepped out, his steps had hesitated slightly as he looked at Yue Ye expectantly but Yue Ye was a little shy where she lowered her head, unwilling to return the gaze.
Elder Ying sighed slightly, having no choice but to leave feeling despondent.

Chapter 1881: “Iron Blood Divine Army (1)”
The days passed one by one and Elder Ying continued to try to interact with Yue Ye. However, responses were few and far between as Yue Ye was always avoiding him.
Even Yue Yi was helpless with that.
Jun Wu Xie on the other hand, was often pestered by Yue Ye.
Half a month’s time went by in a blink and Elder Ying’s mind kept going back to the conversation he heard between Ye Sha and Jun Wu Xie.
Counting the days, it was almost time but there was still no sign of any activity.
It was not till the fifteenth day’s evening that Elder Ying was becoming a little restless and fearing that he might have missed something, he ran straight to the main gates of the Shadow Moon Palace and stood there, his head lifted with an expectant gaze to peer in the direction towards the setting sun.
The sky was gradually darkening with the arrival of dusk and the diminishing glow of the sun spilled over the land. Elder Ying was feeling a little exhausted and he was just thinking to leave but was rather hesitant. Yue Yi stood there together with him, silently without saying a word.
“Forget it, let’s go back.” Elder Ying suspected whether he had guessed wrong while he shook his head a little helplessly to turn around to go back.
Yue Yi looked at Elder Yue before peering out front and his eyes then lit up as he grasped Elder Yue’s arm to say: “Grandfather! Look!”
Elder Ying turned his head around in bewilderment and he saw it.
Right over the horizon with the setting sun, a cluster of faint shadows had appeared.
Elder Ying stared excitedly, his eyes wide as he saw the swath of shadows gradually gradually magnify!
A faint tremor was felt rumbling through the ground as a neat and orderly army suddenly appeared before the eyes of Elder Ying and Yue Yi!
Before the large contingent, a pretty lady in light armour rode proudly upon a handsome stallion, marching over the slanting rays of dusk as it came towards the Shadow Moon Palace’s main gates!
The rumble of steel shod hooves from the cavalry reverberated in their ears, feeling like they were stomping upon Elder Ying’s heart.
The army clad in silver armour stopped before the gates of the Shadow Moon Palace and the cold and proud lady leading the army reined in her horse right before Elder Ying. She dismounted effortlessly, her smooth actions so suave that made Yue Yi as a young man feel to pale in comparison to her.
“May I ask if this is the Shadow Moon Palace?” The lady asked, her voice surprisingly melodious, unlike the cold and proud air that surrounded her.
“Yes, it is.” Elder Ying nodded.
The lady’s face then blossomed with a faint smile. Although her manner was gentle and polite, but without knowing why, she gave people the feeling of a certain incisiveness and strength, which caused people to unconsciously become very polite when speaking to her.
“May I then ask if there is a guest by the surname Jun staying within the esteemed premises?” The lady asked.
While the lady spoke, the army that was several tens of thousands strong behind her remained silent without a whisper of a sound, like they did not exist at all.
Elder Ying swept his gaze over them, and with his level of power, he could actually see more than a hundred Purple Spirits standing at the forefront of the army!
Those were true Purple Spirits, and not elevated with any special techniques.
“Yes, there is.” Elder Ying nodded his head, surprised by the make and lineup within the army before his eyes, where without a single command, they were still orderly, greatly shocking him.
“May I ask, you are?”
T
he smile on the lady’s face then became even more enchanting as she slowly opened her mouth to say in reply: “I am your guest’s wife.”
“What?” Elder Ying’s eyes flared wide in incredulity. Yue Yi beside him was completely stunned. Beat him to death and he would not have thought that the sternly cold but enchanting lady before their eyes would turn out to be Jun Wu Xie’s…..
[Wait a minute!]
[Isn’t Jun Wu Xie a girl?]
Just as Elder Ying and Yue Yi were stunned with bewilderment, a cold clear voice suddenly sounded behind them.
“You’re here.”

Chapter 1882: “Iron Blood Divine Army (2)”
The coldly proud young lady suddenly raised her head and looked towards the voice. A tiny figure fell within her eyes and intense feelings immediately rocked her heart.
Fighting down the urge to run towards that person, the young lady then went walking restrainedly towards the newcomer. Before that person, she then bowed gracefully, the corners of her mouth lifting up with a smile that came from deep within her heart.
“I’m here.”
Jun Wu Xie looked at the young lady before her eyes, in a matter of a few years, that once innocent and guileless little girl had now grown to become an almost flawlessly beautiful lady.
Qu Ling Yue, the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City, the Fire Country’s Iron Empress, Jun Wu Xie’s wife in name.
“An army fifty thousand strong gathered, all of us here as we’ve been ordered.” Qu Ling Yue straightened her back, to raise her hand towards the army fifty thousand strong behind her!
“Respects to Your Majesty!” Fifty thousand soldiers flipped themselves off their horses in together at the same time, falling to one knee by their horses, the orderly roar of their voices soaring up towards the Heavens, the movements of fifty thousand in perfect unison, a grand and majestic sight to the eyes!
Jun Wu Xie raised up her eyes to look at the army gathered before her.
An army come from the Lower Realm, a condensation of Jun Wu Xie’s and Jun Wu Yao’s sweat and blood.
This army was a gathering of the most elite group of people in the Lower Realm, and Jun Wu Xie saw the familiar figures standing at the forefront of the army.
“Your subordinate Long Qi, pays respect to Young Miss.” Long Qi came walking out from within the soldiers, to kneel on one knee right before Jun Wu Xie, his fist held to his chest.
“Your subordinate Mu Chen, pays respect to Young Miss.” Mu Chen came up behind, following suit.
“Your subordinate Mu Qian Fan, pays respect to Young Miss!”
“Your subordinate Lei Chen, pays respect to Your Majesty!”
“Your subordinate Mo Qian Yuan, pays respect to Your Majesty!”
“Your subordinate Bai Yun Xian, pays respect to Your Majesty!”
“Your subordinate Yin Yan, pays respect to Your Majesty!”
“Your subordinate Gu Li Sheng, pays respect to Your Majesty…..”
Familiar faces came walking out from the gathered army one after another, falling to a kneel in a straight line before Jun Wu Xie.
But among the group of people, Jun Wu Xie did not see the Jun Family’s father and son pair and she could not help it as a glint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Qu Ling Yue’s sharp senses detected Jun Wu Xie’s subtle change in emotions and the corners of her mouth then curled up with a faint smile.
“I think, I will not have to pay my respects to you, my little lass right?” A jovial voice suddenly sounded, and Jun Wu Xie immediately lifted her head straight up when she heard that voice.
Jun Qing was clad in a suit of light silver armour, to have suddenly come stand in front of Jun Wu Xie, a splendid smile upon his highly gentle face.
Jun Wu Xie’s heart leapt!
“Uncle!”
Jun Qing smiled as he stepped forward, unable to help himself but to stretch his hand out to rub Jun Wu Xie on her head, his eyes filled with such doting and pampering love.
“Your Grandfather was worried about leaving your Father at home alone and that is why he did not come. But he has words he wants me to bring to you.”
Jun Wu Xie’s throat was incapable of words. Separated from her family for so long and finally able to reunite, who could understand the kind of feelings surging deep in her heart?
“Your Grandfather said, no matter who your opponent is, you must never bury our Jun Family’s name in shame! Twenty thousand men of our Rui Lin Army, I brought them all here for you.”
Jun Wu Xie took a deep breath and suddenly took a big step forward to give Jun Qing a humongous hug.
Not even a thousand words, could compare with this warm and close hug.
Jun Qing smiled till his eyes narrowed up as he continued to rub at Jun Wu Xie’s little head and he said softly: “You’re already the Commander in Chief of our entire Lower Realm, how could still act like such a child. You’ll be laughed at.”
“Whatever.” Jun Wu Xie did not care about any of that. She only knew that she missed her Uncle so much, missed her Grandfather dearly, missed the Lin Palace that she had no seen for so long.
Jun Qing laughed, at a loss for words. All the others tacitly averted their gazes, unwilling to interrupt that highly heartwarming scene of their family reunion who had been apart for so long.

Chapter 1883: “Iron Blood Divine Army (3)”
Qu Ling Yue stood quietly at the side smilingly and when Jun Wu Xie left Jun Qing’s embrace, she then turned to come before Qu Ling Yue.
Although already the Iron Blood Empress, Qu Ling Yue displayed traces of nervousness and being under Jun Wu Xie’s gaze, she seemed to have once again become the puerile Young Chief of the Thousand Beast City.
Meeting Jun Wu Xie’s cold clear gaze, Qu Ling Yue was a little ill at ease.
Suddenly, Jun Wu Xie wrapped Qu Ling Yue who was half a head taller than her into her arms, and said in a soft voice: “Thank you.” Qu Ling was completely frozen in her spot and her heart felt as if it was about to jump out of her throat, her face filled up with utter shock. When she gradually recovered her senses, she then lowered her head and hugged Jun Wu Xie back.
“It’s something I ought to do.”
An army of fifty thousand, besides the twenty thousand Rui Lin Army, the rest was made up from the elite forces from the various countries. After the unification of the Lower Realm, these people no longer saw any demarcation of borders between countries, but lived together as one, cultivating with everyone, close as brothers.
Qu Ling Yue and the members of the Jun Family did not hold back in guiding and teaching them all, and the greatest teacher this army had, had in fact been Jun Wu Yao!
In the period after Jun Wu Xie left from the Lower Realm, although Jun Wu Yao went missing frequently, he had still taken out ten days’ time every month to guide the people from the Lower Realm in their cultivation, where hadn’t Jun Wu Xie with Qiao Chu and gang attained exponential advancement under Jun Wu Yao’s guidance as well?
Although the people in the army of the Lower Realm did not possess the kind of gift like Jun Wu Xie and the others had, there were still quite a number of them with great talent as well. In just a short one year’s time, the Lower Realm had already seen a surge in the number of Purple Spirits.
The gap between the Lower Realm and the Middle Realm was being closed at a highly alarming rate.
The army Qu Ling Yue had led here, was in no way inferior to any army in the entire Middle Realm, or they might even be stronger!
Elder Ying and Yue Yi were stunned by everything before their eyes from beginning to the end. They were completely unable to comprehend from where Jun Wu Xie had been able to magically summon such a stalwart and iron blooded divine army. Without mentioning their great number and imposing grandeur, just the bunch of people who had come forward to kneel before Jun Wu Xie alone were all uniformly true Purple Spirits!
From where had this army sproute
d out from?
Elder Ying and Yue Yi both had faces of bewilderment. Elder Ying had initially thought that since Jun Wu Xie was from the Dark Regions, the people he expected to come would surely be from the Dark Regions or the Night Regime. But he could clearly see the spirit power levels of all these people here and that meant they were all not people come from the Dark Regions.
But for an army this big and numerous in number, if they had been in the Middle Realm, it was impossible that no one had discovered their existence. Judging purely based on the stalwart air they gave out and their levels of power, it could be seen that they were not a force that any regular power would be able to command, and for such a powerful army, it was impossible they could have escaped detection from the Twelve Palaces and the Nine Temples.
But despite all that, Elder Ying had never once heard anything about such an army.
The “Rui Lin Army” that Jun Qing mentioned earlier was also something he knew nothing about.
And what shocked Elder Ying even more was that such a large army completely deferred to Jun Wu Xie command. From their stern gaze of reverence and stalwart demeanor, it could be seen the kind of extent that they revered Jun Wu Xie. Such a kind of almost fanatical adulation, was something that the Twelve Palaces were unable to achieve!
Elder Ying’s gaze then unconsciously shifted to look upon Jun Wu Xie’s back.
[Who is this mysterious young lady of unknown origins?]
[Why does she have people from the Dark Regions’ Night Regime by her side and possesses such a mysterious and powerful army! ?]
