Chapter 2181:- Bloody Battle at the Summit of Mount Fu Yao (5)

Time passed slowly as minutes and seconds ticked by and the oppressive silence in the square made even simple breathing more stifling.

The bright sun hung up in the mid sky and the gentle rays of the morning sun had gradually turned into a blazing hot sun. Su Ya who had been drenched in oil started to feel extremely hot due to the scorching rays of the sun. Ba He ordered people to feed her a few pills a few times and from the number of times she had taken the pills, it could be seen that she was an arrow at the end of its flight and she had to depend on the pills to hang onto her last breath.

What Ba He did was just as he had said before. If the little old man did not appear, he would not let Su Ya die before sunset.

Su Ya's condition was worsening with each passing moment, but she couldn't incite Ba He to kill her out of anger. Under the harsh rays of the sun, the heat became unbearable for her. She was already at the brink of death and despite eating so many pills, she could feel her impending doom. Since she was already just a small step away from death, a sudden glint of determination flashed by her eyes. She squeezed up every last ounce of energy she had left in her as she opened her mouth and bit her tongue with all her might!

A black shadow flashed past, before she had bitten down. Ba He had rushed up onto the high platform and his big hand clamped her jaw firmly in place rendering her completely immobile, unable to move half an inch.

"Time hasn't arrived yet. Hmm? Want to die, not so easy." Ba He's eyes flashed a trace of viciousness.

Su Ya screamed at Ba He, and her eyes could not wait to swallow him up.

A loud crack resounded!

Ba He dislocated Su Ya's jaw, and the dislocated jaw ended Su Ya's last hope. Her fiery gaze looked as if she wanted to burn Ba He into ashes.

"Hate me? Unfortunately, you are too weak. You are destined to be a loser, a pawn, a bait. Maybe after your master appears, I should let him look at you being tortured to death bit by bit. Then again maybe letting you witness his tragic death is also a good choice." Ba He's eyes flashed coldly with a sinister glint, evidently he treated Su Ya's torture as a pastime.

Su Ya could no longer speak and could only glare angrily at Ba He.

All of a sudden, a gust of torrential wind swept wildly into the square, hurling up clouds of dust!

A hint of triumph flashed by Ba He's eyes, while Su Ya's eyes were filled with despair.

"Treating my disciple like that, are you really not afraid of death?" A sorrowful and low voice echoed throughout the square. Appearing from within the torrential wind, a figure suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone!

With both hands behind him, the little old man stood in front of everyone, and on his face was an anger that had never been seen before!

The gust of wind lingering around him gradually dissipated as he appeared, leaving a circle of swirling dust around his body.

All the Nine Temple disciples were shocked to see the little old man who suddenly appeared. Many of them were once students of the Cloudy Brook Academy, so they recognized the old man that had appeared in front of them!

Standing in front of them, wasn't that the headmaster of Cloudy Brook Academy?

The headmaster of Cloudy Brook Academy rarely appeared in front of people, but when they graduate from the academy, he would personally pin the badges bearing the crest of Cloudy Brook Academy, and having this badge was their pride.

Chapter 2182:- Bloody Battle at the Summit of Mount Fu Yao (6)

In the memory of all the Cloudy Brook Academy disciples, their headmaster, was someone who despised worldly conventions and had a smile on all day. He did not have the slightest presence that a headmaster should have, he was more like a child that never grew up.

But today, the headmaster who stood before them was the opposite of their memory!

Although his back was hunched, there was not a single smile on his face. Furious flames were burning in that gaze of his and the entire atmosphere around him was shocking to the extreme!

Was this the same headmaster of Cloudy Brook Academy?

That little old man who was like an old child who was idle and playful all day?

The image in their memory was far from reality, and everyone was stunned for a while.

Ba He looked at the little old man standing in front of him, and his cold lips raised into a smug smile.

"It seems that your disciple doesn't know you either. She insists that you won't come, but you still came." Ba He glanced at the anxious Su Ya and looked at the little old man proudly.

The little old man narrowed his eyes as a dangerous atmosphere surrounded him, and when he saw Su Ya, his heart wrenched.

Su Ya was the first disciple he had ever received. During his lifetime, he only received two disciples. One was Su Ya and the other was Tian Ze. These two were abandoned orphans, but they were brought back and raised by him. From babbling young toddlers, they grew up to become a bright pair of beautiful woman and handsome man. It could be said that it Su Ya and Tian Ze were more like his daughter and son.

The daughter who was doted on and raised by his own hands was actually brutally tortured by Ba He. The smile that the little old man had on for a thousand years finally collapsed at this moment. The unprecedented anger had erased the smile off his mouth. He looked at Su Ya who was weakly shaking her head, she had been severely wounded that even shaking her head was such a tedious task for her and it could be seen how bad her actual condition was.
"Yeah, she doesn't know enough about me, just like you." The little old man's lips curled into a sneer, and he looked at Ba He: "Do you know, what are the consequences of touching my disciple?"

Ba He scoffed and said: "The consequences? I don't know what my consequences are but as for yours, I already do." The moment his last word ended, he waved his right hand!

In a flash, nearly a thousand black robed men came out in a flash from behind the stone statue. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the old man and blocked all escape paths.

The old man's cold eyes swept over the group of black robed men around him, and there was a deep killing intent in his eyes.

"The consequence of yours is to be executed here, but I can give you another choice." Ba He smiled coldly: "If you hand over the soul bone, I will let your disciple go, and you can atone for your crime of stealing the soul bones through death!"

"Stealing?" The old man suddenly laughed out loud and his laughter was full of ridicule. "The soul bone never belonged to your master. Your futile attempt to try to use the soul bone to fulfill the preposterous plan of the Blood Sacrifice of the Three Realms. It is simply a pipe dream! You can never find the whereabouts of the soul bone in your life!"

Blood Sacrifice of the Three Realms!

The words of the little old man made the disciples of the Nine Temples shocked and stumped like wood. No matter how stupid they were, they would never misunderstand the words of the old man.

What in the world... was the purpose of this group of black robed men?

Chapter 2183:- Bloody Battle at the Summit of Mount Fu Yao (7)

The next moment, the silence was broken by the clamourings of the Nine Temples disciples who were in a heated discussion. Afterall, the words "Blood Sacrifice of the Three Realms" were too incredible for them. They could hardly believe that they heard such a shocking revelation.

Under the panic of the Nine Temples disciples, only the elders remained silent. From their faces, not a trace of surprise and panic could be seen. Only helplessness and despair was apparent on their faces, they already knew this, but never told the ordinary disciples.

Ba He narrowed his eyes coldly, and his chilling gaze swept over the Nine Temples disciples who stood at the side whispering amongst themselves. A glint of killing intent flashed by his eyes as he suddenly raised his hand, and a golden light flashed past. The moment one of the Nine Temples disciple was touched by that golden light, his whole person exploded in an instant!

The bright red blood mixed with the flesh and the internal organs spattered all around.

The other disciples who were whispering along with that man were now covered with his flesh and blood. They widened their eyes in disbelief, their mouths still had warm blood dripping. Just a moment ago, he was still a living person, and it happened just right before their eyes.... He exploded!

The thick bloody smell permeated throughout the square. The original murmurs of discussion immediately disappeared after the occurrence of this cruel and bloody scene. Order restored in the square as well as the silence brought forth by death...

Ba He's cold gaze swept through the Nine Temples disciples who had been frightened out of their wits. He did not put this group of wastes from the Middle Realm in his eyes at all.

"All of you better shut your mouth. If you let me hear another word, I don't mind letting you never open your mouth ever again." Ba He's malicious gaze was like a poisonous snake staring threateningly at everyone. All the Nine Temples disciples who had been swept by his gaze couldn't help but tremble, fearing to utter a single sound, they even grasped their throats to stifle any sound, even breathing became difficult for them.

The little old man furrowed his brows. For Ba He's cruelty, he had already expected it, but he didn't think that... he treated even his own men similarly. Ba He was indeed a mad man.

Perhaps, Ba He had never regarded this group of Nine Temples disciples as his own people, and in his eyes, perhaps they were just a group of dogs raised in the Middle Realm when they were bored.
To Ba He, it was merely killing a dog. What about it?

The disciples of the Nine Temples were completely quiet, but from their fearful eyes, it could be seen that for Ba He's cruelty, they could only endure but did not dare to speak out, and some disciples couldn't help but look at their elders. Initially they thought that the elders would stand out and say a few words on their behalf, but they did not expect that the elders of the Nine Temples chose silence at this moment. They even did not dare to look back at the pleading eyes of the disciples. They could only bow their heads and look away.

The strength of the Upper Realm, was not something that the Nine Temples could contend against. Even if they were elders, in Ba He's eyes, they were just a group of lambs that could be slaughtered any time. Even their Temple Lords were in a similar plight.

Fear and anger started to spread among the Nine Temples disciples. However, the fear overwhelmed the anger and made them choose silence. The thick blood smell stimulated their nerves and made them extremely tense.

After Ba He killed that disciple, he looked at the little old man, and did not attempt to hide the maliciousness in his eyes.

"What about the Blood Sacrifice of the Three Realms? Are you trying to provoke the rebellious heart of this group of wastes? I advise you to save some strength. Since you've come today, there is no room for leaving alive!"

Chapter 2184:- Bloody Battle at the Summit of Mount Fu Yao (8)

Ba He's words stirred the surrounding Nine Temples disciples and they were trembling with rage as they clenched with fists tightly.

Ba He did not care about revealing the truth about the Blood Sacrifice of the Three Realms at all. The number of people that had been dispatched by the upper Realm was enough to wipe out everyone at Mount Fu Yao. If the disciples of the Nine Temples dare to resist, he will make an order to kill them together along with the rest!

Therefore, all the elders did not dare to move, nor could they move. They themselves did not fear life and death, but they could not bring the entire Nine Temples along into this futile destruction.

Ba He's outrageousness made the little old man's face uglier and uglier to behold.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, thinking that everyone else is a dog. The Upper Realms really think that everything in this world can be disposed based on your own whims! I am afraid, you still do not have such a qualification!"

Ba He sneered: "Do not have such a qualification? The winner is crowned King and the defeated plundered. Since you will die today, why bother wasting so much saliva!" Ba He raised his hand and gestured to the surrounding black robed man to tighten their encirclement around the little old man!

A thousand Gold Spirits!

What a terrible force! Su Ya who stood on the high platform shuddered. Although the scorching hot sun was blazing down on her, but she felt that it was more like a hail storm instead. She was no longer able to speak and could only make indistinct noises anxiously at the little old man, but it was all in vain. The incessant ' ah' that she uttered seemed to be urging the little old man to leave.

She was now an arrow at the end of its flight, even if she was saved, she wouldn't have much time left. She did not want her Master to put himself in danger all because of her!

The voice of Su Ya echoed in the silent square, and her voice made the eyes of the little old man extremely deep.

The little old man no longer looked at Ba He, but looked at the anxious Su Ya with a very gentle look.

"Little Ya'er, be good and wait for Master. Master will take you home soon." The smile on the face of the little old man was warm like a father's.

Su Ya's eyes were wet in an instant.

She did'nt want!

She did not want her Master to be caught up in a bloody battle because of her!

Su Ya was raging within, but no one could know the despair in her heart.

A thousand Gold Spirits, tightened the encirclement step by step. The golden spirit energy that shrouded those black robed men was extremely dazzling, it was as if the blazing sun was resonating and pulsating with it.

Like a huge golden circle of fire, they narrowed the encirclement a little bit, as their menacing eyes locked onto the little old man's body.

"Seeing that your old pile of bones is so pitiful, and you still need to go against this thousand Gold Spirits, do be careful. Don't break any bones, it would even be too tragic a sight." Ba He stood on the high platform and looked at him arrogantly from high above.

"Don't kill him, just ruin him enough and leave a last breath."

This sentence was cruelty that made one tremble!

As soon as Ba He finished speaking, a Gold Spirit who was very close to the little old man immediately dashed forward and turned into a streak of golden light and rushed towards the little old man!

Everyone's heart almost rushed up into their throats!

The Nine Temples disciples widened their eyes and were extremely worried for the little old man. In their hearts, they did not want Ba He to win!

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!" The little old man scoffed and before the golden streak of light could even come close to him, it was suddenly hit by an invisible force and it was sent flying!

A huge gush of blood immediately rushed out of the throat of the black robed man who was sent flying and before he knew it, he slumped heavily onto the ground!

At this moment, a strong hurricane rose from the feet of the little old man! The wind was whistling fiercely, and outside the little old man's body, formed a barrier that shredded everything!

.
.
.
Chapter 2185:- Bloody Battle at the Summit of Mount Fu Yao (9)

That strong barrier stirred up a huge gale as the little old man who stood at eye of it all stood there calmly. His white hair was bellowing in the wind as his sleeves were flapping about violently and he exuded a suffocating and domineering aura.

Ba He's gaze suddenly changed and the smile at the corner of his mouth had disappeared entirely.
On the entire body of the little man, not a speck of light emitted from spiritual energy could be found. However, upon closer inspection, a circle of obscure inscriptions were rotating around his right hand. Those obscure inscriptions were floating above his palm but there was a pale blue glow on his palm.

The moment Ba He saw the inscriptions on the right hand of the little man, his expression underwent a sudden change?

This person, how could he be at such a level!

The little man looked coldly at Ba He who stood on the high platform and the gale blocked those black robed man from approaching. He suddenly flung his right hand out! The inscriptions that were rotating around his hand glowed and suddenly became even larger!

The little old man held onto one end of the inscription and the circle became a straight line as bolts of ice blue lightning danced above the inscriptions! The hand that he held onto the inscription swept around his surroundings at once!

The inscriptions with the lightning were like a soft sword that swept all around him! Surrounding the little old man now were many afterimages!

All the black robed men that were closest to the little old man were sent flying out one after another! The area that was hit directly by the lightning was charred black, and it was so deep that the bones were visible!

The battle situation in front of him suddenly changed and the Nine Temples disciples who were initially worried for him were left completely dumbfounded at the scene that had unfolded right in front of them.

Even if you beat them to death, they would have never imagined that under the heavens, there was actually someone who could use a single strike to injure a Gold Spirit so heavily. Gold Spirits were the highest level in the Middle Realm and just so easily...

And...it wasn't just one Gold Spirit...it was one strike that had sent so many Gold Spirits flying! Just one strike!

They were Gold Spirits, mind you!

However, in front of the little old man, they lost the invisible power of the Gold Spirit and were beaten into such a sorry state without even the strength to retaliate!

The shocked Nine Temple disciples couldn't find a trace of spiritual movement on the little old man. All they could see was the little old man use that lightning infused inscription to close in on the black robed men as he sent them flying one after another!

This incredulous scene made them completely stupefied!

What on earth was that little old man holding in his hands? It was so powerful!

Ba He's expression was getting uglier and uglier by the moment and from above, he could see the entire battlefield clearly. The people only knew that the Gold Spirits were strong but they didn't know that in the Upper Realms, there were people that were far stronger than them!

Just like the little old man in front of them.

Su Ya watched the little old man in a daze and even forgot to struggle for a moment. She had never seen her Master reveal his true power. Even if she was raised by him for many years, she did not know the extent of his strength and how terrible his actual strength was...

Until she saw him sending Gold Spirits flying one after another, she then realized that her Master was truly an extraordinary person.

Ba He saw that the situation had taken a turn and he immediately gave an eye signal to a black robed man that was standing below the platform.

"Stop!" Ba He's voice reverberated throughout the square.

The Gold Spirits who surrounded the little old man immediately retreated back a few steps.

The little old man narrowed his eyes and his murderous aura was so oppressive that it made them shudder. He turned to look at Ba He but just that single glance made the blood in his whole body freeze!

.
.

Chapter 2186:- Bloody Battle at the Summit of Mount Fu Yao (10)

On the high platform, Ba He held onto the torch and brought it close to Su Ya. The burning flame was swaying in the wind and the flame was less than a finger's distance away from her!

Su Ya was soaked thoroughly in the flammable oil and as soon as the flame touched her, she would be completely engulfed by it!

At this moment,the little old man's blood completely froze and his eyes were bloodshot!

"No wonder you dare to come here today. It turns out that you are already at such a level and have such strength. It really surprised me, but... do you really think that I came unprepared? You can try it, if you want to continue to resist, I will not guarantee that your baby disciple will be safe and sound, after all... it is an implacable fate, such a beautiful woman, if she is burned to ashes by this flame, it really is a pity." Ba He narrowed his eyes and said viscously.

"Despicable!" The little old man spat out furiously and the flames of his anger were more violent than the fire!

"Despicable?" Ba He smirked and looked at the little old man full of ridicule. "The winner is crowned king while the defeated plundered, that's the age old law that has never changed. For the great cause, why should I stick to convention? I must do all that's necessary all for the great cause of the Lord. So what if I became a despicable villain? If you want to be a gentleman and want to be a hero, you can. Just offer yourself up with hands tied up and wait to be captured, lest your disciple suffers from the burning fire."

The little old man gnashed his teeth and glared at Ba He, the hatred in his eyes was as if he couldn't wait to smash Ba He into smithereens.

"What? You don't want to save your disciple? Or would you rather that she be burned into ashes by the fire, suffering from the excruciating pain by being slowly incinerated in the scorching flames? You'd rather she be sacrificed rather than surrender yourself?" Ba He sneered.

Su Ya was tied to the wooden stake and couldn't move. Her fervent gaze looked at the little old man. Her eyes were full of resistance but could not speak. She could only shake her head desperately. She knew very well that Ba He kept her life for the sake of threatening her Master. Even if the little old man knows that she no longer had long to live, he did not want her to be persecuted in front of him.
Ba He's viciousness was infuriating. He used the most despicable ploy in the world to tap into the heartstrings of the relations between father and daughter to force the little old man to give up resistance. Although Su Ya had been tortured mercilessly, but as long as she had a last breath remaining, it was still the most effective chip against the little old man!

The surrounding Gold Spirits had already retreated away from the little old man, but in just a few minutes, the number of Gold Spirits who lost in the hands of the little old man had already been more than a dozen. If one did not witness it with one's own eyes, I am afraid that no one would believe that Gold Spirits could actually be so vulnerable.

The little old man's eyes danced between Ba He and Su Ya as he deliberated. Ba He's viciousness and Su Ya's pleading flashed through his mind as he slowly lowered his head and eventually raised his right hand up!

Ba He's eyes moved slightly as well as the Gold Spirits were waiting in nervous anticipation.

Crackle!

The little old man suddenly crushed the inscription in his hand!

The inscriptions that were dazzling turned into pieces of broken light in the palm of the old man. Slowly, they dissipated in air, and before they reached the ground, they had completely disappeared.

Ba He's face raised a triumphant smile, although others did not know what the inscription in the hands of the little old man was, but he was extremely clear.

That was the power of the Upper Realm - the Spirit Ring!

The strongest force that could be condensed by the power of spirit power and soul. He did not think that the old man could have condensed such a great Spirit Ring, but when the little old man crushed the Spirit Ring, Ba He knew that in the next hour or two, the little old man would not be able to use the Spirit Ring again!

And this was exactly what he wanted!

.
.
.
Chapter 2187:- If you want to fight, I too will fight! (1)

The Spirit Ring was the supreme power of the Upper Realm. Unlike spiritual power, each and every inscription contains an enormous power. The more inscriptions that can be condensed, the larger the volume of the Spirit Ring. However, to condense the Spirit Ring wasn't a simple task.

The little old man crushed his own Spirit Ring. If he wanted to condense it again, he would require a certain time, but Ba He would never give him any time.

"Catch him." Ba He said maliciously.

All the Gold Spirits who had retreated before immediately changed their traction and rushed towards the little old man. The little man raised his head and at the corner of his mouth a trail of fresh blood trickled down. This was caused from the backlash of crushing the Spirit Ring forcefully on his own. Although he knew that this was Ba He's trap, but for Su Ya, he had to do this.

Ba He looked at the little old man that had offered himself up and at the bottom of his eyes he could not help but reveal a trace of anticipation.

The little old man closed both of his eyes. He was willing to do this; both Su Ya and Tian Ze had both been dragged into this because of him. He could not overlook this and simply discard them.
Just at the moment when everyone thought that the little man was going to be caught!

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded from the main hall at the side of the square!

The towering hall was completely blown up in a deafening explosion!

The white bricks were blasted apart and hurled out the broken remnants like a hail and shot right out into the square!

A glint of shock flashed by Ba He's eyes as a huge stone flew directly towards the high platform!
He ferociously stomped his foot down and flew up!

A loud bang resounded and the large stone stood majestically on the high platform and it had smashed the wooden support of the platform.

Everyone looked at the scene completely dumbfounded, the continuous rain of stones fell upon them and everyone in the square could only dodge.

Before Ba He could figure out what had happened, there was a series of more than ten explosions that resounded one after another and the pavilions that surrounded the square had been blasted into smithereens in an instant!

Countless stones rained upon them and smashed mercilessly into the square. There were some that were wrapped in flames and as they fell onto the ground, leaving marks with sporadic flames all around!

The oppressive atmosphere in the square was suddenly broken by this sudden attack. Although they were Gold Spirits, however under such a dense hail that was raining upon them, they had to subconsciously dodge as well.

The besiege of the little old man had been hindered at this very moment!

The little old man was shocked when he saw everything unfold before him. The square was now a complete mayhem as shattered stones continued to rain down and the burning flames made everything plunge deeper into chaos. Suddenly, the little old man looked anxiously at the broken platform.

There was a figure that flashed by, but at the moment that his eyes reached it, it had already freed Su Ya from the wooden stake.

The eyes of the little old man glistened!

"All of you calm down! It's only some broken stones, what is there to be afraid of?!" Ba He looked at the square where chaos had ensued, and with an angry roar, the noisy square regained calm in an instant. He raised his hand and a golden light appeared, immediately disintegrating the rocks flying towards him into a powder.

Those Gold Spirit also calmed down immediately, and following Ba He's move, they knocked down the broken stones.

Let's not say even that the Gold Spirit, let alone the Purple Spirit or the Blue Spirit, they would never be hurt by these trivial broken stones, but all this had happened too suddenly and made them lose their composure.

.
.
.
Chapter 2188:- If you want to fight, I too will fight! (2)

By the time they had calmed down, the square was already in a complete mess. The shattered rocks had left countless deep pits on the floor and flames were scattered all around as the temperature of the surroundings began to rise rapidly.

Ba He was furious when he saw all of this. He narrowed his eyes dangerously but immediately felt that something was amiss and when his eyes swept towards the wrecked platform, he shouted out: "Quick! Go and get Su Ya!"

A few Gold Spirits immediately rushed over to the wrecked platform and started searching through the dry wood.

Boom!

A loud blast reverberated throughout as a powerful explosion came from that very location and those Gold Spirits that were close to it were caught in it!

A silvery white figure suddenly appeared before Ba He. Under the resplendent sun rays, a pair of silver wings glistened and a silver armour that was shrouded in a layer of golden light appeared like a god descending from the heavens. In the hands of that figure, was Su Ya who had been brutally tortured to the brink of death!

"Who are you!" Ba He was shocked to see the sudden emergence of this mysterious person. As the series of explosions came about so suddenly, it was obvious that someone had made special arrangements beforehand. However, Mount Fu Yao had been under their tight control all this while, how did this person break in?!

The sudden appearance of the silver figure made all the surrounding Nine Temple disciples gape in shock as they looked wide eyed at that silver armour. Never had they even seen such a striking armour before. When that pair of silver wings flapped, each blade on the wing reflected the sunlight and it was a dazzling sight to behold. That silver figure carried the blood soaked Su Ya and other than that pair of eyes that were visible, the figure was completely covered in that resplendent armour.

It was a pair of extremely cold eyes, as if it was ice that could not melt even after a thousand years that encompassed an enormous killing intent that had been frozen within.

Not to mention Ba He and the people from the Nine Temples were all shocked with the sudden appearance of this mysterious figure, even the little old man was completely taken aback by everything that happened before him.

The figure carrying Su Ya did not speak but lowered the head and looked at Su Ya who was suffering in pain. Seeing Su Ya suffering from the unbearable pain but trying her hardest to endure it by biting her mangled lips, an anger that soared towards the heavens began to well up in the eyes of that figure.

Su Ya stared at the person with curiosity, she had never met this person before, why did this person save her?

The silver mask that covered that person's face started to disappear bit by bit and when the entire countenance was revealed, Su Ya was incomparably shocked and stared at that face in a daze.

An attractive face was revealed to her, it wasn't entirely outstanding, but what was unforgettable was that pair of limpid eyes with a chilling gaze.

Su Ya's eyes widened in shock, even in her dreams she would never think that the very person who saved her would be...!

"Your disciple came late, Master has suffered." When Jun Wu Xie looked at Su Ya's disfigured face, her heart felt as thought is had been slashed by a thousand knives. Although her voice was very soft and there seemed to be no emotion in it, but beneath it all, was anger and killing intent that had been forcefully repressed and was on the verge of breaking free any moment.

Su Ya stared back at her and not knowing where her strength came from, she lifted her hand up and tried to pushed herself away.

Her distorted fingers were full of blood and when her hands touched Jun Wu Xie's silver armour, it left a stain of black blood on it.

Su Ya was trying to drive her away.

"Master, your disciple remembers your words. Today, your disciple will follow the rules of Master; to repay blood with blood, to return a tooth for a tooth!" Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes as a murderous glint flashed by. The Face of Selvan extended its vines and held Su Ya up as Jun Wu Xie carefully placed a pill into Su Ya's mouth and shortly after, the silver mask once again covered the killing intent that was apparent on her face.

.
.

Chapter 2189:- If you want to fight, I too will fight! (3)

Su Ya wanted to pull Jun Wu Xie, but she couldn't move a single bit. The vines that were wrapped around her were so warm and gentle.

Ba He narrowed his eyes and looked at Jun Wu Xie who had suddenly appeared as his eyes saw through her strength.

"It's only a little brat who hasn't even reached the Gold Spirit, to repay blood with blood, to pay a tooth for a tooth? How outrageous! Did you think that ...you, can actually save them?!" Ba He scoffed as his gaze swept towards the little old man and said, "Alright then, since you are Su Ya's disciple, today, I shall send the three generations of Masters and disciples to hell!"

With one hand, Ba He waved and the Gold Spirits who had retreated had immediately stepped forward once more and surrounded the little old man.

The little old man's gaze sharpened and the flames in his eyes that had disappeared before had once again been ignited. After Su Ya had been rescued, he no longer had any qualms left. Never would he have thought that Jun Wu Xie would appear here, not to mention, in less than two years, she was almost ready to step into the realm of the Gold Spirits. At such a young age, this was simply too astounding that would make people stare with wide eyes with their tongues tied. If it was another place with different set of opponents, she would definitely create a miracle.

Miracles, however, would not appear here.

"Little brat, bring your Master away. Leave the things here to me." The little old man said in a heavy tone.

In Jun Wu Xie's hands, the vines from the Face of Selvan turned into two swords of light. It glistened brilliantly under the sun.

"Please forgive me for not complying."

The little old man gave a glimpse of surprise, even though he was taken aback by the growth of Jun Wu Xie, but the ones that were standing right in front of them were a thousand Gold Spirits from the Upper Realm! With the current strength of Jun Wu Xie, there was no way she could confront them. If she stayed behind, she was simply seeking her own death!

"'Since I've already acknowledged my Master, and entered into discipleship, if I abandon my Master's Master and escape on my own, that would make me a cowardly disciple. How could I be worthy to call her Master then?" Jun Wu Xie said with determination, since she was here, she had no intention of escaping. Today, if not for her death, it would be Ba He's!

Shock appeared the eyes of the little old man. Never would he have thought that Jun Wu Xie had came with such unwavering determination.

Suddenly, the little man laughed loudly.

"Good, good, good. This old man did not judge wrongly, Little Ya also did not misjudge you. What a good kid, you have proven yourself to have an excellent disciple of Little Ya! From today on, this old bones here will fight with you to the end!" An ice blue light suddenly shrouded his entire body as a strong air flow started to circulate all around as the surrounding air began to distort.

"This disciple obeys!" A cold glint flashed by her eyes and the vines that were wrapped around Su Ya was cut off and she flew downwards!

The moment when Su Ya fell, a fiery red figure jumped into the air and caught her securely.
The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit had revealed its true form and held Su Ya gently with its large ears and with its powerful hind legs, it thumped hard and immediately bolted out from the centre of the battlefield!

"Want to escape? Not so easy!" Ba He's eyes flashed maliciously and with a stomp of his foot, he flew up and chased!

Just as his figure flew into the air, a silver streak of light rushed towards him!

A resounding bang reverberated throughout the entire summit of Mount Fu Yao!

With a light sword in each hand, Jun Wu Xie blocked Ba He's way. Her slender figure stood valiantly in mid air and she had blocked Ba He with her light swords and refused to budge an inch!

"Damn brat, are you looking for death?" Ba He gritted his teeth furiously and looked at Jun Wu Xie who was blocking his path. He did not expect that a mere Silver Spirit would actually dare to obstruct him!

"Today, if it's not your death, then it would be mine. You can forget about thinking of taking another step further!" Jun Wu Xie said with her eyes narrowed as a cold glint flashed by her eyes. She held a light sword in each hand and held them crossed in front of her with her silver wings flapping behind her as she rushed towards Ba He!

"Hmph! Overestimating your own ability!" Ba He scoffed and said, "Catch Su Ya, no one is allowed to escape. I want all three of them to die without a place for burial!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately flew towards Jun Wu Xie!

A black and silver figure instantly clashed in the air.

Upon Ba He's order, the rest of the Gold Spirits immediately chased after the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit.
"Who dares to move!" The little old man roared out as his body turned into a streak of light and rushed to the front of all the Gold Spirits. In a flash, he arrived before them as he turned his spirit energy into a formless blade and swept out. With one sweep, he had lopped off the head of one Gold Spirits.

Blood gushed out like a geyser from the neck of that man!

Blood rained down upon the little old man and he was dyed crimson in an instant.

"Want to catch my disciple, you will have to pass through me first!"

Those Gold Spirits were shocked by the murderous intent of the little old man and couldn't help but take a step back. However, when they saw that Su Ya was brought out of the battlefield by the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit, they no longer cared about anything else and directly rushed towards the little old man. Hundreds and hundreds of Gold Spirits had encircled him and swarmed towards him like bees and swallowed the little old man!

For a moment, carnage ensued and the entire square was covered with a disgusting stench of blood.
Hundreds of Gold Spirits had deterred the little old man, even if he had three heads and six arms, it was still impossible for him to stop all the Gold Spirits.

Seeing that the little old man was besieged from all sides, some of the Gold Spirits immediately passed by the battlefield and chased after the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit.

The Nine Temple disciples had long been frightened silly from the scene that had unfolded before them. Each and every one of them stared with wide eyes and as they witness this gruesome and bloody battle.

Su Jing Yan secretly clenched his fists. The moment Jun Wu Xie had appeared, he understood that she had not given up rescuing Su Ya.

How bold was this? Knowing that the opponent that she was facing was a thousand Gold Spirits, yet she had refused to give up, wasn't this tantamount to seeking her own death?

Looking at the Gold Spirits closing in on the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit, his heart was inspired by Jun Wu Xie and the little old man's determination and his blood started to boil. He could not help but take a step forward, however, another elder from the Heavenly Wolf Temple that was standing by his side immediately grabbed his shoulders.

"You can't go." That elder said with furrowed brows, his eyes was filled with conflict as he was trying very hard to endure and it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Ba He.

"I...." Su Jing Yan was trying to find words but couldn't find any.

"If you stand up to help, and the Nine Temples will be destroyed by the Upper Realm." That elder said while he tightened his grip on Su Jing Yans shoulder.

They couldn't move, nor did they dare to. If they struck out, their own deaths weren't important, however, they would drag the entire Nine Temples down along with them.

Su Jing Yan clenched his teeth tightly and forcefully repressed his inner impulses and reluctantly retreated. He looked up and when he saw that the Gold Spirits were gradually closing in on the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit, his heart almost rushed up his throat!

"Roar!!" A loud furious roar reverberated throughout the square as a large white figure rushed out from the messy ruins. With its towering body, like a huge rock, it immediately sent all those Gold Spirits that were chasing after the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit flying!

The huge spirit beast snarled as it revealed its fangs as it stood defensively before the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit and Su Ya as it roared out vehemently!

Chapter 2191:- If you want to fight, I too will fight! (5)

"Roar!" A huge black shadow flew out and stood in front of Lord Meh Meh, prepared to battle with the Gold Spirits before them.

Over a hundred Gold Spirits had been blocked by these two spirit beasts and could not advance any further.

Su Jing Yan looked at this scene dumbfounded however, he had not put down the vigilance in his heart.

Even if they had the help from these few spirit beast's, so what about it? They were facing a thousand Gold Spirits!

Su Jing Yan could see that both Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit were overlord level spirit beasts, they were already regarded as the pinnacle of the spirit beasts. However, against a Gold Spirit, there was still a gap!

If they really wanted to block them, they will have to fight with their lives on the line.

"Just some measly spirit beasts dare to block my way?" One Gold Spirit sneered as he scoffed in a condescending tone.

In the eyes of the Gold Spirits, so what if the spirit beasts are at the overlord level? They were just some random wastes that they could kill at will!

However, Lord Meh Meh and black beast did not take a step back. If they retreated, then Su Ya's death was imminent. Jun Wu Xie had entrusted Su Ya to them so how could they not live up to their Mistress' wishes?

Jun Wu Xie was currently engaged in a Bloody battle, as her spirit beast and soul beast, how could they retreat!

"Roar!" Lord Meh Meh and the black beast roared towards the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit behind them. The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit turned to cast a final glance at its companion's before it made its way to escape with Su Ya with renewed determination.

Su Ya was too heavily wounded, she could not even resist any enemy in her current condition. If they met with any enemies, she only had death awaiting her.

"Let... Let me down..." Su Ya murmured softly in the embrace of the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit. Her jaw had been fixed back in place by Jun Wu Xie but even opening her mouth rendered pain but it could not surpass her in the inner fear that was in her heart.

Her Master and her disciple had fallen into such a desperate situation just in order to save her. How could she escape alone?

The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit did not utter a sound but ran forward in desperation. All that the Nine Temple disciples could see was that a fiery red figure sweep past them and each of them stood there stunned in place.

"You are all a bunch of wastes! Why are you standing there in a daze for? Hurry and bring that beast and slut back!" One Gold Spirit that was blocked by Lord Meh Meh berated those Nine Temples disciples harshly.

However, those Nine Temple disciples seem to have not heard anything and just bowed their heads down in silence.

It was because they felt afraid, afraid that they could not even do anything to help the teacher who was akin to their saviour. They could be called despicable, incompetent, but the very least... let them be able to hold on to the last thread conscience and to stick to the stubborn notion by not acting on it.

The Nine Temple disciples hung their heads low in place and even quietly opened a wide and unobstructed path and let the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit to pass through quickly. This movement made the Gold Spirits enraged, as the attacks against Lord Meh Meh and the black beast became fiercer and fiercer with each passing moment.

In the blink of an eye, on Lord Meh Meh, there were countless deep wounds that even the bones were visible. Fresh crimson blood had dyed its once pure white fleece similarly red, blocking hundreds of Gold Spirits was tantamount to seeking death however, it refused to budge a single step. It relied on its gigantic stature to block off the path completely!

The black beast had countless lacerations across its body, because Jun Wu Xie had strengthened it before so it relentlessly attacked all the Gold Spirits that were attacking Lord Meh Meh. Using its sharp fangs and razor claws, it continued on its assault to the best of its abilities.

Blood flowed like a river...

Hot blood flowed all over the ground, as Lord Meh Meh was enormous, it was hard to estimate the amount of attack that it had received. Even standing straight proved to be difficult as it used its hind legs and its tail to swipe at those Gold Spirits that tried to bypass it.

Chapter 2192:- If you want to fight, I too will fight! (6)

Jun Wu Xie and Ba He were deadlocked in battle, and the armour of the Face of Selvan had broken off quite a bit. Fresh blood stained the silver armour, but in her eyes, but not a sliver of fear nor retreat could be seen, her gaze only became more astute.

Ba He has never met such an opponent who did not care about their own life, obviously she was not as good as himself, but she was attacking him like crazy, even if her entire body was riddled with wounds, she seemed to feel no pain. Fighting without any room for retreat, this was simply fighting him with her own life on the line!

Even for such an arrogant person Ba He was, he was really shocked by Jun Wu Xie's determination.

In the darkness, a pair of purple eyes was watching all this quietly. When the silver figure was slowly dyed red with blood, the calmness in the purple eyes had been replaced by the killing intent that soared towards the sky! He lifted his foot, ready to take a step forward.

At that moment!

Ye Mei immediately rushed before Jun Wu Yao, and with a bam, he slammed both knees onto the ground.

"Lord Jue! Lord Jue please think twice!" Ye Mei knelt down anxiously as he tried to persuade him.

"Scram." Jun Wu Yao's voice was so cold that it could freeze people's blood.

"Lord Jue! I know that you do not want Young Miss to get hurt and you are not willing to listen to the persuasion of your subordinate. But I beseech you to believe in Miss' plan, she made such a plan because she do not want to involve you. If you rashly go out now, even if you saved Young Miss, but you would have revealed your identity. If this was conveyed to the people in the Upper Realm, they would definitely hunt you down. At that time, how would Young Miss feel? She would definitely feel guilty and blame herself. Please consider for Young Miss as well and give her a little more time! Don't let her efforts be all for naught!" Ye Mei desperately plead and begged, as his whole body shivered. This was the first time that he had went against Jun Wu Yao's order. He was trembling, not from fear, but anger and anxiety.

He had already seen Jun Wu Xie as his other Master. How could he endure seeing her body with wounds all over?

However, before Jun Wu Xie had gone out, she had already given him a death order. He must be by Jun Wu Yao's side and guard him to prevent him from being agitated by her injuries and rushing out.

"I beg you, Lord Jue, you must believe in Young Miss!" Ye Mei desperately tried to stop Jun Wu Yao.

If Jun Wu Yao came out and struck, everything could be settled at once. However, the consequences would be disastrous and might spark a calamity.

Who knew if there were other people that belonged to the Upper Realm in the surroundings. If the news leaked out, it would be adamant to say that Jun Wu Yao would be hunted down. Even Jun Wu Xie wouldn't be able to escape the attention of the Upper Realm.

In order to catch Jun Wu Yao, the Upper Realm will stoop to any means. Since they can catch Su Ya and force the little old man, they could also do something similar by catching hold of Jun Wu Yao's weakness, which is Jun Wu Xie!

Jun Wu Xie insisted that Jun Wu Yao was not allowed to intervene, and she herself had made an astute determination.

How could he not know the fear that Jun Wu Xie had? There were dark ripples in Jun Wu Yao's eyes as he fought down the impulses that had surfaced. In the two most difficult choices that Jun Wu Xie had to make, she chose the third way - which was her own way; to not only save Su Ya, but also to not have Jun Wu Yao expose his whereabouts.

But to let him watch her being in danger with his own eyes...

"Lord Jue, please wait, just wait a bit more. Don't you believe Young Miss? Her plans had never failed once!" Ye Mei coaxed hurriedly.

Jun Wu Yao's eyes were narrowed dangerously. Looking at Ba He who was fighting with Jun Wu Xie, the killing intent in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

"Upper Realm, one day, I will let you pay the price of blood!"

Chapter 2193:- If you want to fight, I too will fight! (7)

The battle continued to heat up as blood flowed like a river. Even the little old man was riddled with wounds. Now that he was without the Spirit Ring and on top of that, he was suffering from the severe backlash that had caused his strength to fall drastically.

Time passed slowly as each second ticked by, although the Gold Spirits had incurred some damage, it wasn't too much and this had pushed Jun Wu Xie's side into a bitter battle.

"Little brat, is this what you said by paying back tooth for tooth, blood for blood? Ha ha ha! What a ridiculous joke!" Ba He used one leg and kicked Jun Wu Xie as he watched in delight as she fell heavily towards the ground. From beneath the mask, blood was trickling out and when he saw that, he looked on with relish and it made him laugh even more maniacally.

If not for the strange armour on Jun Wu Xie, Ba He had the confidence to kill her without question. But seeing his progress, it would just chip of more of his time on the final result would not change!

Jun Wu Xie supported herself up with a push as more fragments of the Face of Selvan fell off. The skin that was exposed was covered with countless gashes with varied depths and lengths, her body was soaked thoroughly in fresh blood but in that pair of cold eyes, there was not a trace of fear but an even more unwavering determination that stared back at him.

"What? Still not giving up? You've yet reached the level of a Gold Spirit, but even if you did become one, in my eyes it is just an ant that could be crushed at will." Ba He sneered.

Jun Wu Xie took out a bottle of medicine out and poured it into her mouth. As she raised her hand, her eyes glazed over those broken rubble has scattered all over the ground. The flames on the ground had yet been extinguished the temperature in the square continued to rise. The temperature had risen to such a degree that it had made the people feel extremely uncomfortable.

A cold glint flashed by her eyes as she suddenly stood up. Her figure was shaking slightly but the hands that were holding onto the light swords steadied and supported her body.

Just a little bit longer, she had to hold on for a while more!

Just for a little while more!

Ba He sneered as he looked at Jun Wu Xie, in his eyes, her stubbornness and insistence was very ridiculous and a complete joke to him. Knowing that she was not his opponent, knowing that she was sending herself to death, she still insisted on not retreating.

There was actually such an idiot under the heavens!

"Little brat, there is no medicine for your stupidity, Su Ya doesn't have long to live. Let me tell you this, even if I do not kill her today, with the degree of her wounds, she can live no longer than three days. Oh... I almost forgot, early this morning, I ordered someone to give her something. With those things in it, let alone three days, is it even possible to pass tonight? Ha ha ha, to save a person who is about to die, even throwing away your own life, you are really a funny person." Ba He laughed extremely cruelly, he knew that both Jun Wu Xie and the little old man were willing to save Su Ya at the expense of their own lives, however he chose to divulge the cold truth to Jun Wu Xie.

They were saving a person who was about to die anytime.

Such a twisted joke made Ba He exhilarated, he was thrilled happy to see the pained eyes of Jun Wu Xie.

However, there was no fluctuations in that astute gaze of hers, only her killing intent had not reduced one bit.

"She is my Master."

Even if it was a person about to die, as long as there was a breath remaining, she would save her!

Ba He's eyes became cold as the corner of his mouth curled up into a smirk filled with disdain.

"Since you Master and disciple have such a deep relationship, then I shall graciously send you first to the nether world to welcome your Master!" Ba He raised his hand viciously, Jun Wu Xie was currently exhausted and shows like an arrow at the end of its flight, she no longer had any strength left to block this blow.

Just as Ba He was about to strike, suddenly a thunderous roar came from the entrance of the square!

He turned to look and saw a group of people bustling into the square ferociously!

Chapter 2194:- Fighting Together (1)

"I am afraid it is not appropriate to treat us people from the Middle Realm like this." A lazy voice sounded from high above the square.

There was a certain distance between Ba He and Jun Wu Xie as they looked over to the source of the voice. The Nine Temples disciples also looked over curiously.

From within the dense crowd, a majestic and handsome man dressed in a crimson armour appeared. When Su Jing Yan's eyes fell on the flaming red figure, he was stunned in place!

The Spirit Jade Palace Lord!

Standing in front of everyone was the very person who had been in seclusion for a thousand years, the very elusive Spirit Jade Palace Lord who had only been very active in the past one year.

When the Spirit Jade Palace had suddenly disappeared, it fell from the peak into mud. Everyone thought that the Spirit Jade Palace would disappear without any traces left, however never had they expected that within the past year, after the Twelve Palaces had been destroyed, the Spirit Jade Palace appeared before everyone and it instantly became a force not to be reckoned with in the Middle Realm!

Behind the Spirit Jade Palace Lord, there was a group of girls dressed in the Spirit Jade Palace's attire. Each of them had beautiful and peerless countenance, but what made them outstanding was that unwavering gaze of theirs. Having hidden for a thousand years, the Spirit Jade Palace once again stood in front of everyone and revealed the sharp blade that had been concealed for millennium!

What was more shocking was that behind the disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace, there was a group of people dressed in all sorts, the ages of the people in that group varied as well as their dressing. They each held a weapon in hand, however on their faces, they had on the same unwavering gaze as the disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace!

"Ah Liu!" One Nine Temple disciple suddenly recognised a person from within and called out.
Wasn't that person that the very person who had enrolled and entered the Cloudy Brook Academy together with him? Only after the two had graduated from the Academy, one had entered the Nine Temple while the other had entered the Flame Demons Palace. It was ever since then that they had been split up, never in their wildest dreams but they have imagined that they would meet after so many years in such a peculiar situation.

The Spirit Jade Palace Lord stood in front of the people and there was a strange silence because of their sudden arrival.

Jun Wu Xie's silver armour had long been dyed red with blood, and that red looked strangely harmonious with the flame red armour that the Spirit Jade Palace Lord was wearing!

She looked at the Spirit Jade Palace Lord of the curious glance before her eyes fell on the girl was wearing a mask behind him.

It's her?

That girl's face was covered with a bronze mask and she exuded a light and heroic disposition. When she saw Jun Wu Xie's bloodstained silver armour, her initially calm eyes suddenly reflected shock and pain!

"Even though the Upper Realm is mighty, however you seem to have forgotten that you are currently standing on the grounds of our Middle Realm! In the lands of our Middle Realm, I don't allow you to act so impudently!" The Spirit Jade Palace Lord's changed to one that was awe inspiring and no one could piece him together with the lazy and languid person of the past.

Ba He's lips curled into a sneer as he looked at the group of people that the Spirit Jade Palace Lord had brought. In his eyes, the Middle Realm was just a mishmash of riffraffs and there was no difference between them and dogs.

"Middle Realm's lands? What can this Middle Realm be counted as? To me, it is just a place that I can kill who I want to kill, just like a slaughterhouse. Did you think that by bringing a bunch of shrimps and crabs, you will be able to scare me? What a joke! Just a bunch of wastes that have delusions of ascending to heaven!"

Ba He's words made all the expressions of the Middle Realm's people ugly to the extreme, even the Nine Temple disciples glared at him.

Although their Middle Realm was not as powerful as the Upper Realm, but they did not need to be humiliated to such an extent!

Chapter 2195:- Fighting Together (2)

"Whether it is ascending to heaven or not, we must first see the abilities of the lot of you. Even though you all are powerful, us people from the Middle Realm are not afraid of death!" The Spirit Jade Palace Lord sneered, his oppressive and domineering aura increased as he looked at the battlefield. In a glance, he saw that the entire square had been dyed red with fresh blood and Jun Wu Xie's injuries made him knit his brows tightly. However, what made him even more angry was that the Nine Temple disciples who stood on all sides and spectated.

"Today, I may not be able to prevail, however I would not yield to the Upper Realm. The Upper Realm is trying to gain more power by sacrificing the three realms in exchange. I would like to ask, people from the Middle Realm, are you willing to be used in such a manner?"

"Willing? Ha ha ha! Where did you this jumping clown jump out from? The timing you can see that this group of dogs had long been raised by me? I let them live, they shall live. If I want them to die, they shall die! Who dares to say a single word more?" Ba He's crude manner of speaking and his arrogance had long made those Nine Temple disciples faces ashened.

A group of dogs...

This was the Upper Realm's evaluation of the Nine Temples.

The group of Nine Temple disciples who had been suppressing their dissatisfaction in their hearts were now glaring at the arrogant Ba He with bloodshot eyes.

They may be weak, may be incompetent, but they were not willing to be dogs!

"So sad...this is too tragic, I can't believe that the Nine Temples who used to be above the Twelve Palaces had now become so weak and incompetent. Even if they've been bullied to such an extent, yet they do not do anything about it. I will not recognise this group of cowards as people from the Middle Realm!" The Spirit Jade Palace Lord said sombrely.

His words made the Nine Temple disciples reveal embarrassment on their faces. Each and every word he uttered pierced the dignity of the Nine Temple disciples.

"You with the surname 'Hu'! I never knew that you were such a person! Mentor Su Ya had been caught, headmaster is being oppressed but yet you just stand at the sidelines and watch our saviour fall into desperation and ignore it! I don't have such a brother, we shall break all our ties! If I can come live past today, I will kill you, this ungrateful disciple!" The man who came with the Spirit Jade Palace Lord harshly berated one of the disciple from the Nine Temples.

They were very familiar each other, however they had each recognised different masters. They were fine all along, however, never had expected that after all that happened today, they had broken off all ties of their brotherhood.

Other than the Spirit Jade Palace disciples who followed the Spirit Jade Palace Lord, there were those who had once studied in the Cloudy Brook Academy. They were all loyal to the Twelve Palaces. After the destruction of the Twelve Palaces, they were filled with pride and indignant justice and vowed to retaliate. However, once the crimes of the Twelve Palaces were revealed before the people, their conscience pricked them and no longer thought to seek revenge. That year when the Spirit Jade Palace rose up, they chose to disappear and meld into the crowd. He had been feeling remorseful over his actions all this while.

Until...

A few days ago, the Spirit Jade Palace had announced a shocking piece of news!

Cloudy Brook Academy was in peril and it had summoned all the former disciples to come together. It was precisely this piece of news that brought together all those who had that remaining thread of of conscience. They may have fallen into the mud, however they were still good people at heart. Knowing that their saviour was in trouble, how could they just sit by and watch?

In just a few days, the number of disciples from the Cloudy Brook Academy came from all over and it had reached a staggering number of tens of thousands! It was precisely this group of loyal and upright people that had banded together with the Spirit Jade Palace and directly killed their way in to Mount Fu Yao!

That person whose surname was Hu, stared with wide eyes, his heart was extremely uncomfortable and filled with shame, so much that his clenched fists were trembling uncontrollably.

.
.
.
Chapter 2196:- Fighting Together (3)

"What's so great about it? I, your father, am not a coward!" That man whose surname was Hu rushed out of the crowd immediately. He was already feeling absolutely depressed and was condemning himself when he saw Jun Wu Xie had given it her all and did not care about dragging herself into a bloody battle, all just to save Su Ya. Within his heart, he was in turmoil and after hearing his brother's accusations, it provoked his last thread of reason which had tugged hard on his heartstrings. Feeling his blood boiling, he threw away all caution to the wind.

That man fell down onto his knees, in front of the Celestial Temple elders, he said in a sombre tone with his head bowed down: "To have been recognized by the Celestial Temple is this disciple's honour. However, this disciple can no longer stay silent after everything that has happened today. Please forgive me elders, but I can no longer sit back and watch. From now on, I no longer have anything to do with the Celestial Temple! I'm breaking all my ties with the Celestial Temple, so whatever I do today, has no relationship whatsoever with the Celestial Temple!" The moment he finished speaking, his forehead fell heavily onto the ground into a kowtow with a loud thud! The moment he stood up, he strode resolutely to where his brother was!

He could be afraid, could be timid, but he was not willing to be a coward that even his own good brother refused to recognize!

A tall figure entered into the group off the Spirit Jade Palace, the view of his back was majestic and awe inspiring.

There was a shocking silence in the entire square.

That man with the surname Hu walked to his good brother and the two stared at each other for a long while before they finally raised their arms with clenched fists and struck each other's arms as they broke into a smile.

Since they've sworn to the heavens to be brothers, they shall share their joys and sorrows together!

"Elder, please let this disciple leave." Suddenly, another voice resounded out as another disciple knelt down and said. Without waiting for that elder's reply, he stood up and immediately walked towards the side of the Spirit Jade Palace.

"This disciple is thankful for all that the Scarlet Flame Temple has bestowed upon me, today we shall break all ties!"

"This disciple is willing to go through this life and death battle with Mentor Su Ya and headmaster!"

"This disciple is leaving on my own accord."

"From today, everything that I no has nothing to do with the Nirvana Temple."

"This disciple requests to leave the Heavenly Wolf Temple!"

"....."

In an instant, hundreds of people broke away from the Nine Temples and walked to the Spirit Jade Palace. They all paid their last respects and broke all ties from their respective temples, abandoning all the glory that it had offered. Instead, they chose to join a battle that they had no chance at winning but they would rather do this than be burdened with condemnation of their own conscientiousness!

More and more left the Nine Temples as the army of the Spirit Jade Palace started to grow. This inexplicable scene was like a wildfire that had spread and it had lit up the hearts of everyone!

Su Jing Yan's eyes widened. Never had he expected that the appearance of the Spirit Jade Palace could trigger such an intense reaction!

Just from their Heavenly Wolf Temple itself, there were close to a hundred disciples who had left!

Looking at their firm and unwavering gazes, the elders from the Nine Temples could not bear to let them go but simply remained silent the entire time.

Ba He's dangerous gaze swept by those disciples that had left the Nine Temples and that gaze got colder and colder. He never expected that this group of dogs would actually bite back!

"These are the people that the Nine Temples had raised? Since they are a treacherous bunch, there's no more need to keep them. Since they are bent on seeking death, let them bring along such a ridiculous notion of loyalty to the netherworld then." He sneered and his gaze swept by the elders of the Nine Temples.

The faces of the elders were ugly to the extreme, if not for them representing the Nine Temples, they would not have been able to endure the raging flames of anger that were quelled in their hearts long ago.

At this moment, in their hearts, they were envying those who had left. They envied these disciples who had such strong courage and dared to pursue their own beliefs that they found true to their heart. They were not at all like them, weak and incompetent.

Among the Nine Temples, almost all of those who had came from Cloudy Brook Academy had left, while the remaining disciples could only lower their heads in shame and did not dare to utter a word.

When Jun Wu Xie saw all this happen before her, she had long forgotten about the pain from her own injuries. Her gaze fell onto the majestic presence that had started it all - the Spirit Jade Palace Lord.

.

Chapter 2197:- Fighting Together (4)

Even Jun Wu Xie did not expect that the Spirit Jade Palace Lord would bring such a large force for support. This went far beyond her expectations and had shocked her incomparably.

Under the heavens, the word "conscience" could be simply said, however, how many were able to really do it without pricking their own conscience?

The strength of the Upper Realm had been vividly proven in the battle before, yet those disciples of the Nine Temples were still willing to take the step forward.

Even if there were only a few hundred of them, they were a valuable asset to be treasured.
Jun Wu Xie looked at the Spirit Jade Palace Lord and gave a slight nod to him she wiped away the blood and corners of the mouth and looked at Ba He coldly.

Today's battle was far from over!

All this was just the beginning!

The Spirit Jade Palace Lord waved his arm!

"For the glory of the Middle Realm! Kill!"

With a single command, everyone rushed forward and countless spirit lights flashed as countless ring spirits were summoned out. For a moment, chaos filled the entire square. Blood and tears, revenge and hatred, all intricately woven together to form a heartrending battle song.

"Headmaster! We are here to help you!" A group of people who had no regards for their own lives rushed forward with their ring spirits and headed towards the little old man who was besieged from all sides. Among them, there were Blue Spirits, Purple Spirits and even the ordinary Green Spirits. But at this moment, they had forgotten their own fears, forgotten about life and death as they had placed all their dignity and pride in this lifetime and rushed towards those Gold Spirits who were far stronger than them!

The little old man raised his head in this chaotic battle and looked at the group of people who had been ignited with passion in amazement. Those people were like strangers to him, the Cloudy Book Academy had been established for thousands of years. How many tens of thousands of disciples had been taught? He had long forgotten all their faces, their names, not to mention what faculties they were from. However, it was precisely this group of people that had disregarded their own lives and rushed bravely forward to fight!

In the midst of the battle, flashes of gold, blue and green light flashed as the strange mix of spirit lights became a dazzling display of colours in the square.

Although the Gold Spirit was strong, the brilliance of the colour was outstanding and unmatched, yet in the midst of this all, a faint light of the Purple Spirit seemed to be at this moment, the purest and most beautiful light!

A bloody battle ensued as the battle cries intertwined and became one.

Hundreds of large spirit beasts rushed to Lord Meh Meh's side and charged towards those Gold Spirits that were attacking Lord Meh Meh. They snarled, roared and vehemently assaulted the Gold Spirits. They may be weak, but they would never retreat!

One light after another diminished in the battle as the blood bath continued. Those were ring spirits that had perished, and it also signified the deaths of their Master.

Although the Spirit Jade Palace have brought forth large force and they numbered the Gold Spirits by a few fold, however under the strong oppressive might of the Gold Spirits, they were simply hitting stones with eggs.

But...

Not a single person retreated, each and every figure that had fallen had no wounds on their backs. Until the moment of their deaths, they did not turn to flee, not a single one did...

Facing the enemy head front, using their lives in exchange ...

The girl with the mask killed her way in together with the rest of the female disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace. The Spirit Jade Palace had been hidden for a thousand years and even after they had taken over the Twelve Palaces, they had not battled. Today, was the very first battle since the Spirit Jade Palace had stepped out into the world!

Years of seclusion had made the tacit understanding between the disciples reach an astonishing level and they could work well together without dragging each other down.

Chapter 2198:- Fighting Together (5)

The Gold Spirits working with Ba He were getting more and more annoyed by this bunch of mad men. These were obviously just weaklings who could not even withstand a strike from them yet they just kept on rushing towards them without any regards for their own lives. It was as if... They didn't know the meaning of death at all.

One Gold Spirit struck out a fist and it had completely passed right through the abdomen of a disciple of the Spirit Jade Palace. With just one strike, it had broken through her internal organs and a large amount of blood flowed down his palm. There was a touch of disdain in that cold smile of his. However, when he wanted to retract his hand, he found that he could not do so.

"I've caught him!!" The girl who vomited out a mouthful of fresh blood held on tightly to the hand of that Gold Spirit whose hand had went through her body. Using every ounce of strength left in her, she restricted the action of his hand. Her entire face was stained with blood, but her eyes were sparkling with a fascinating light.

In a flash, the surrounding disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace immediately turned around and attacked. More than a dozen people combined their strength to kill one Gold Spirit!

The moment that Gold Spirit fell, that girl breathed her last and when she fell, her hands that clutched onto the enemy were still tight in an iron grip and even after she fell, she did not let go.
There was no time for sorrow, no time to cry, all those disciples that had worked together to fight the Gold Spirit immediately turned and threw themselves back into the fray of battle.

No one knew that the feelings between them had long surpassed that of ordinary fellow disciples, having spent a millennium together in seclusion, they had long became a true family.

The eyes of the fallen girl had lost its lustre, however her mouth had hooked up into a dazzling smile.

The Spirit Jade Palace Lord fully revealed his strength of a Gold Spirit as he summoned Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom out. With their unmatched coordination, they imminently paved a bloody path as he blitzed to Jun Wu Xie's side while Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom forced Ba He back for moment.

"Can you still hold on?" The Spirit Jade Palace Lord supported Jun Wu Xie's arm and the arm that held her quickly turned warm and sticky with her blood.

"I can." Jun Wu Xie spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, yet there was no change in her expression.
The Spirit Jade Palace Lord smiled.

"Why have you all come?" Jun Wu Xie asked.

"Spirit Jade Palace has received the immeasurable grace from Cloudy Book Academy as well as yourself. In the entire Spirit Jade Palace, there isn't any ungrateful person." The Spirit Jade Palace Lord looked at Jun Wu Xie and laughed teasingly as he said: "Don't tell me that we are not allowed to repay our gratitude?"

Jun Wu Xie was stunned for moment before she revealed a trace of smile from the corner of her lips. She stood firm and she tightened the grip of the light swords in her hands as her eyes lit up.

"Fighting together is my life's fortune."

"I feel this way too." The Spirit Jade Palace Lord smiled as he shook off the blood on his sharp sword and looked ahead as a cold glint flashed by his eyes.

Ba He looked at the Spirit Jade Palace Lord who had suddenly appeared and his gaze turned frosty.
"There are more and more ignorant wild dogs who are coming to seek death, did you think that with just the lot of you, you are able to turn the tide? Simply a bunch of ignorant fools!"

Ba He had never been as annoyed as today before. This was clearly a trap that had been set up for the little old man. He did not expect that there would be so many incidents in succession. First of all, there was Jun Wu Xie, then the appearance of Spirit Jade Palace followed by the disciples of the Nine Temples that had defected.

Even though he knew that the strength of these people were not enough to reverse the situation, however it still made him extremely furious!

A bunch of garbage that were disgusting like flies!

"In the end, who the fool is would soon be revealed." Jun Wu Xie's lips curled up into a sneer as she took the lead to attack Ba He. After the Spirit Jade Palace Lord attacked, Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom followed closely behind!

In a moment, three figures had blitzed forward in a flash!

Chapter 2199:- Counterattack (1)

The battle was getting more and more intense. The people brought by the Spirit Jade Palace had suffered an immeasurable number of deaths and injuries. However, the sacrifices had not been in vain as they had bought them time.

As every minute and every second ticked by, the number of people that had fallen increased. Many of the Blue Spirits and the Green Spirits had used special methods to temporarily increase their powers to that of a Purple Spirit. Although they still could not hold out against the power of the Gold Spirit, but they were still able to kill off more of their opponents.

Five people in exchange for one, six people in exchange for one, ten people in exchange for one!

They had given it their all, desperate to bring down the number of enemies. Even if they used ten people's life in exchange for one Gold Spirit, they did not hesitate one bit.

There were around six thousand people that the Spirit Jade Palace brought, but in the blink of an eye, more than half of them had died and yet they had only managed to kill over two hundred Gold Spirits!

The pressure on the little old man had been drastically reduced, seeing the way those people fought so desperately made him fight even more ferociously.

By this time, Ba He had already lost all colour on his face. He had fought with Jun Wu Xie for an extended period and even if he had wounded her heavily, his own strength had also depleted considerably. At first, he did not care much but as he battled against the Spirit Jade Palace Lord who had the strength of a Gold Spirit coupled with the continuous assault from Tenacious Snow Plum Blossom, he was actually forced into a dangerous situation at one time. The original advantage he had was slowly being chipped off bit by bit as he felt that his spirit power was diminishing at a rapid speed under the flurry of the constant attacks.

He did not care too much about this point and only thought that it was because he had battled on for too long.

However, when he was sent back flying from a kick from Jun Wu Xie, his face was full of shock.

He fell heavily on the ground as he spat out a mouthful of blood and the colour of the blood made his hair stand on ends.

That blood, was actually dark red and there was even a trace of purple mixed in it!

Ba He looked at the blood that he had spat out in a daze. Large amounts of spirit energy was flowing out of his body and that gold colour light on his body had dimmed considerably. He had never experienced such an excruciating pain before, it was as if there were thousands of ants that were biting his body from within.

Jun Wu Xie steadied herself, panting as she looked at Ba He who had crumbled and fallen to the ground. There was a hint of smile in her eyes.

The Spirit Jade Palace Lord looked at the scene strangely. Despite being a Gold Spirit himself, there was still a gap between himself and Ba He. According to reason, even if Ba He and Jun Wu Xie had battled on for such a long time, he shouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

He could clearly feel that the spirit power of Ba He was flowing out at an incredible speed and he was going to fall from the realm of the Gold Spirit very soon.

This... was simply too abnormal.

In a normal battle, although there would be some loss of spirit energy, but there would not be any drastic change in the realms of the spirit power. However, the gold light that shrouded Ba He was slowly diminishing and was beginning to turn to silver.

What just happened?

The Spirit Jade Palace Lord's eyes darted over to Jun Wu Xie immediately and on that bloodstained face, he found a bright smile.

She was smiling?

"How is it? Falling from a Gold Spirit, does it feel good?" Jun Wu Xie's tone of voice deepened as she looked at Ba He who was sitting on the ground in shock. On her bloodstained face, a devilish smile broke out.

"What do you mean?!" A jolt of shock made him look at her incredulously.

Jun Wu Xie swept her gaze over to him and said, "What do you mean? Open your dog eyes and look at your people around you. You will soon understand."

A thread of uneasiness rose up from his heart as he looked at the surrounding battlefield with wide eyes. Where were all the resplendent gold lights that had originally dominated the entire battlefield? There was not a single trace of gold light anywhere!

Chapter 2200:- Counterattack (2)

How could such a thing happen? Ba He did not dare to believe what he saw with his own eyes. All of them who had followed him from the Upper Realm had actually fallen to the realm of Silver Spirits in just half an hour? How could this be?!

Ba He's uneasiness caused his qi and blood to flow turbulently and when he stood up, he was glaring fiercely at Jun Wu Xie. Jun Wu Xie's lips curled up into a faint smile and this action of hers immediately deepened his uneasiness.

"Little brat, what did you do?!"

Jun Wu Xie raised her hand to wipe off the fresh blood at the corner of her mouth but her smile remained.

"Do you know how did the Twelve Palaces meet its demise?"

The words of Jun Wu Xie sent a jolt of shock to Spirit Jade Palace Lord when he heard her words.

When the Twelve Palaces fell, although he did not participate in it, he also knew about it from the mouths of the people sent by her.

At the Twelve Palaces Summit, all the Palace Lords had gathered together, but with the appearance of Jun Wu Xie, they had been completely shaken from their very core. At that time, her strength was far less than what it was today and was definitely not the opponent of the Twelve Palace Lords. However, he did not know what method she had used that in the end, the Twelve Palace Lords had fallen from the realm of the Silver Spirit in a short moment and were wiped out by Jun Wu Xie!

This matter was a secret and only a few people knew the truth behind it.

Could it be that...

Su Jing Yan and the others who were standing aside had also noticed the peculiar changes of the Gold Spirits. They had been standing by and watching hence they could see the entire battlefield clearly and from as early as a few minutes ago, the only two remaining Gold Spirits were Ba He and the Spirit Jade Palace Lord. The other Gold Spirits had already dropped a realm and had lost all the golden lustre.

At the moment when Jun Wu Xie was about to explain, everyone's gaze were unknowingly fixated onto her. They were all very curious as to what methods she had employed that could achieve such a feat.

To be able to have a thousand Gold Spirits lose their original strength and to fall from the realm of a Gold Spirit was an incredibly frightening feat!

"Silver Spirits and Gold Spirits may be powerful, but if they are dragged down from the clouds, what difference is there between them and ordinary people?" Jun Wu Xie smiled coldly, she had waited for this moment for a very long time!

"It's you little brat! You poisoned us! What did you do to us!" Ba He did not want to believe that she had such an ability, but experiencing it for himself, he could feel the changes that occurred in his body and that made him have a sense of inexplicable fear.

"Yes, I did it, so what?" Jun Wu Xie retorted in a carefree manner and continued, "Did you really think that I would be so ignorant? To just clash with you head on?"

Su Ya, she would save. Jun Wu Yao, she too would protect.
To fulfil these two feelings of hers, she would have to think of a sure win method.

She had spent three entire days, ordinary poison had no effect against Gold Spirits, hence she decided to work on what she knew that worked before and had employed a similar method that was used against the Twelve Palaces. With this idea in mind, she toiled on it for three entire days. The last time, she was up against Silver Spirits but now her goal was the highest level in the Middle Realm - the Gold Spirit. The level of difficulty was immense, and yet in only three days, with her endless attempts and sleepless nights, she finally managed to change the poison and became the secret weapon to nail the decisive victory!

"How did you do it?" Ba He stared at Jun Wu Xie in a stunned daze, after she had appeared, she had been engaged with him in battle. When did she get the chance to poison them? Not to mention a thousand Gold Spirits?
