"Shadow Moon Palace Lord, what do you mean by that?" The Flame Demons Palace Lord's face immediately darkened and the other Palace Lords stared at Jun Wu in surprise, never having thought that a Palace Lord would actually say something like that.
Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow, not fearing the gazes of the Palace Lords in the slightest. She leaned back leisurely in her chair and raised her head to look at the crowd.
"What the words mean is that the Dark Emperor's tomb is empty, but the people sacrificed by the various palaces are real. The casualties gave up their lives, but what they got in return was a joke. Do you think that's appropriate?"
The Dark Heavens Palace Lord then said: "Shadow Moon Palace Lord, you are still young and you might not understand the importance of the Dark Emperor's tomb. To achieve great things, one should not be bothered by trifles. If we do not fight for that sliver of hope, wouldn't we be wasting our lives? The Twelve Palaces have never been as powerful as the Nine Temples and if we continue to sit here and wait for death, we will be destroyed by the Nine Temples one day. Searching for the Dark Emperor's tomb and obtaining the Dark Emperor's treasures is the way to make us stronger. With such treasures placed right before our eyes, who would give it up? "
The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth curled up coldly.
"Since you want it, why don't you just go look for it yourself? The ones who want to reap the benefits are all of you, but the ones who are sacrificed are the disciples under you. Now that the Dark Emperor's tomb is empty, to all of you, you have just lost a treasure that could have been obtained, but to those people who sacrificed themselves at the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff, they have given up their lives for it. Do any of you still remember the first batch of teams you sent to the Heaven's End Cliff? Do any of you still remember the names of every single one of them? They died because of your ambition and now all you can think of is that you have just lost a large amount of treasure, not feeling the slightest bit of guilt or pity for those who died. May I ask ….. are all of you still human? "
Jun Wu Xie's voice was very soft, but every word was sharp as a knife, mercilessly piercing through the sanctimonious mask of the various Palace Lords.
In order to obtain great power, these people had used the lives of others to exchange for it. Danger lurked everywhere at the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff, but their inflated ambition continued to send people to the Heaven's End Cliff, even setting their sights on the powers of the Lower Realm.
They looked down on the people from the Lower Realm from the bottom of their hearts, and they did not treat the people from the Lower Realm as humans.
Jun Xie had indeed sought out the Dark Emperor's tomb, but she had gone there personally from the beginning till the end. Even if the Rui Lin Army obeyed her orders, even if she was the Fire Country's Emperor, she would never allow anyone's life to be used in exchange for her own power!
Jun Wu Xie's words caused the faces of all the Palace Lords present to turn ashen. They glared at the disrespectful little girl in rage, wishing for nothing more than to sew up her mouth.
Her words were harsh to the ears, but they truly pierced the true thoughts in their hearts.
"Little girl, even if you're young, you should pay attention to your words. We're much older than you. Although we don't want to bicker with you, you should know how to respect us. As the Hall Masters of the various halls, how many things do we have to do? Could it be that he had to do everything himself? You want us to go search for the Heaven's End Cliff ourselves? "The Flame Demons Palace Lord said with a sneer.
"Since you're unable to do it yourself, then why should you covet things that do not belong to you?" Jun Wu Xie's face was tinged with a trace of ridicule. People who held such high positions were really laughable. The lives of others were merely pawns in their hands in their eyes.
