"Thank you." Jun Wu Xie said softly as she walked towards the empty seat.
The various Palace Lords and Elders had all calmed down but the younger disciples could not help but stare at Jun Wu's every move, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
When Jun Wu Xie was seated, everyone then noticed that there were several people following behind Jun Wu Xie. Among them, there were two ladies who possessed outstanding looks as well, but when they stood beside Jun Wu Xie, their radiance was completely overshadowed, which made them feel that they were not as stunning.
The eerie silence in the banquet slowly dissipated, and whispers gradually sounded.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord said as he secretly watched those people from the Shadow Moon Palace. He had initially thought that the Shadow Moon Palace had sent so few people here this time was because their new Palace Lord was ignorant. But after seeing Jun Wu, he did not dare to think that Jun Wu was just an ignorant young girl.
That kind of temperament that emanated from within was definitely not something that could be faked.
When the Flame Demons Palace Lord swept his gaze over the several people behind Jun Wu, the suspicions in his heart grew stronger.
Among the nine people following behind Jun Wu, he had seen two of them before. One was the Shadow Moon Palace's Elder Ying and the other was the adopted grandson of the Shadow Moon Palace's Elder Yue, Yue Yi. There was also a little girl who looked very similar to Yue Yi and if his guess was not wrong, she should be Yue Yi's younger sister, Yue Ye.
Elder Ying was originally a member of the Zhan Family Clan and the Zhan Family had a long history in the Middle Realm, where they had amassed quite a number of good things. But if one looked at the Zhan Family Clan's background, Elder Ying's powers would not be considered outstanding. Although Yue Yi was rather gifted, but when compared to Qiao Chu, he was still a little weaker, not considered to be the cream of the crop. Yue Ye did not need to be mentioned.
But there was one point that the Flame Demons Palace Lord found rather strange, and that was Elder Yue, the most powerful among the Shadow Moon Palace's Elders, was not accompanying them?
Besides a few people she was familiar with, the rest of the Flame Demons Palace Lords were people she had not even seen before.
Among them, the most unique one was the girl with a demeanour that was rather similar to Jun Wu. Her powers were rather good as well, but not comparable to Yue Yi.
As for the rest, they didn't seem to have any outstanding strength. There was even a man and a youth who didn't have any spiritual power, which was very puzzling.
Based on the feeling that Jun Wu gave the Flame Demons Palace Lord, Jun Wu was not a person without brains. But to bring a bunch of people with such mediocre powers to attend the Twelve Palaces' Summit, what was he thinking?
Could it be that the former Shadow Moon Hall Master was deliberately making things difficult for them?
Everyone knew that the previous Shadow Moon Palace Lord had no choice but to abdicate his position due to his body's unwillingness. But no one in a position of power would willingly give up all their power, even if it was his own little sister. The Flame Demons Palace Lord judged others by their own standards, suspecting that the reason why Jun Wu Xie had brought such a small group of people with most of them unfamiliar to him, was most probably because the previous Palace Lord had held back quite a bit of power from her.
"So it's a puppet." The Flame Demons Palace Lord rubbed at his chin, his heart tinged with a sneer, as he could not help but look down on Jun Wu a little.
The Flame Demons Palace Lord's thoughts coincided with those of the other Palace Lords. After their initial shock, they quickly calmed down, analyzing just how much weight this newly appointed Shadow Moon Palace Lord carried.
"Since we are all gathered here, why don't we have a toast? It's been a long time since the Twelve Palaces have gathered together like this. To the glory of the Twelve Palaces, let us toast." The Flame Demons Palace Lord immediately stood up, raising his cup in a toast.
