Time flowed like sand between fingers, quietly passing by.
Five days passed in a blink and the date of the Twelve Palaces' Summit drew closer and closer. Jun Wu and the others needed to set out on their way to the venue of the summit.
After the Dark Emperor fell, the successive Palace Lords of the Twelve Palaces had never gathered together again. When their common enemy disappeared, the first thing they thought of was to expand their own powers, to stand out from the rest of the Twelve Palaces, or even unify the Twelve Palaces to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Nine Temples.
Over the past thousand years, the open and veiled struggles between the Twelve Palaces had been a common occurrence. Although the Twelve Palaces were allies on the surface, but in reality, they had become mutual enemies, each wanting to overpower the other.
That mentality made it impossible for them to sit together and talk peacefully.
And the discussion this time, was because the Twelve Palaces' internal strife had been shifted out of the shadows and into the open. During the Pure Grace Palace Lord's birthday banquet, Zhuge Yin had been killed and that had stirred up the Dragon Slayers Palace, the Blood Fiend Palace and the Pure Grace Palace together. The three parties continued to fight and the Dragon Slayers Palace and the Blood Fiend Palace had reached a point where they would not rest until one of them died and the weak Pure Grace Palace was sandwiched between the two palaces, unable to do anything about it.
The other palaces had just sat there to watch the show but they had not expected that not long after they watched the show, a huge incident occurred.
The Flame Demons Palace who had wanted to be the fisherman who reaped the benefits suddenly got into a fight with the Purple Thunder Palace and the always mysterious Soul Return Point bit down hard on the Flamboyant Palace. The six palaces were also locked in battle and for some unknown reason, the conflict had suddenly erupted within the past half a year.
In just half a year's time, the number of casualties among the various palaces had reached a number never seen before in the past thousand years, causing the Palace Lords who had been immersed in the slaughter to feel uneasy. With the Flame Demons Palace and the Blood Fiend Palace taking the lead, they decided to hold this summit meeting, hoping that the matter would be resolved with the Palace Lords present. Afterall, if the slaughter carried on, it would be a devastating blow to any of the palaces and even the Flame Demons Palace was finding it a little hard to bear.
As the leader of the group, the Flame Demons Palace had long led their men to rush towards their destination. That place was extremely close to Mount Fu Yao and Mount Fu Yao was the dividing point between the Twelve Palaces and the Nine Temples. Its position in the middle made its existence rather subtle and almost everyone subconsciously feared Mount Fu Yao's deterrent power, not daring to act recklessly near Mount Fu Yao.
The reason why they chose this location was so that the various halls would not have to worry too much. If it was any other location, it was likely that many hall masters would not dare to step in.
The Flame Demons Palace had already prepared everything for the summit and the second to arrive were the people from the Blood Fiend Palace.
The Blood Fiend Palace had been one of the sparks that ignited the war between the Twelve Palaces and they had not been in a good state recently.
Gu Yi had brought quite a number of powerful disciples with him to the summit this time and even Gu Ying and Gu Xin Yan had tagged along.
The people from the Flame Demons Palace led the people from the Blood Fiend Palace to their accommodations.
Gu Yi sat within the room, his cold eyes staring at the silent Gu Ying standing in the room.
Gu Ying's handsome face was covered with some shallow scars. Compared to normal skin, the colour of his eyes was a little lighter, but it was not difficult to see that the scars had been inflicted several months ago. Although the scars had already faded, but it had still added some blemishes to that exceptionally handsome face. There was even a scar that was about the length of a little finger. Although it was very thin, but it was extremely obvious. It could be imagined just how deep the wound had been.
