The wind howled. In the ruins where the Palace of Flame Demons once stood, the once glorious Holy Palace had been flattened and a grand and elegant building had replaced its original position. That was the Spirit Jade Palace's branch in this area. Although the Spirit Jade Palace had consolidated all the powers of the Twelve Palaces, they did not act like the Twelve Palaces where they forced their subordinates to hand over tributes.
They had even given the people the benefits that the Twelve Palaces had taken from them in the area they lived in.
In an instant, the people in all the districts of the Twelve Palaces were filled with gratitude towards the Spirit Jade Palace. Although under the oppression of the Twelve Palaces, they had been able to live without purpose. But for so many years, the Twelve Palaces had been constantly fighting to find the location of the Dark Emperor's tomb and the amount of manpower and resources they had expended was immeasurable. And most of that money had been squeezed from the hands of the common citizens and the various major powers.
Now that the Spirit Jade Palace had replaced the Twelve Palaces, it allowed the oppressed people to live a more peaceful life.
In an instant, the Spirit Jade Palace's rule had not only not been met with any resistance, but had even received great support from the people. Some of the citizens had even taken the initiative to help the Spirit Jade Palace capture the remnants of the Twelve Palaces.
In the city where the Palace of Flame Demons was located, the citizens were now filled with awe and gratitude towards the disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace.
"Miss Xue Er, you've come. These are the fruits we have just harvested this year. Would you like to bring some back?" When the citizens of the city saw a young girl from the Spirit Jade Palace, they immediately rushed forward, all of them holding fresh ingredients in their hands, eager to give them to the other party.
Those things might not be worth much, but they were gifts of gratitude that represented their sincerity.
The young girl named Xue Er looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, her rosy little face filled with helplessness. Not only her, but whenever any of the sisters from the palace went out, they would definitely receive the same warm welcome from the citizens. Such warm hospitality, caused the young girls who had never interacted with the outside world to be at a loss as to what to do.
Having been hunted by the Twelve Palaces for a thousand years, how many disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace had died without knowing why? Had they ever thought that there would come a day where they would be able to truly leave the dim underground cave in Mount Fu Yao? Had they ever thought that they would be able to be like normal people, standing easily under the sun, interacting with the people in the outside world?
The Spirit Jade Palace's disciples had turned from panic to gratitude towards such warm hospitality. They were the ones who were truly thankful. They were finally able to live freely and contentedly like normal people.
In the face of the warm welcome from the citizens of the city, Snow tactfully refused as she fled.
After the Spirit Jade Palace Lord took over all the powers of the Twelve Palaces, the first thing he did was not to build a palace that belonged solely to the Spirit Jade Palace, but to gather all the original disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace together, ordering them to be forbidden from using the might of the Spirit Jade Palace to oppress the citizens, and not to allow them to casually take gifts from the citizens, or they would be immediately expelled from the Spirit Jade Palace, never to return.
Towards the Spirit Jade Palace Lord's warning, every single one of the young girls etched it firmly in their hearts. They were pure and innocent by nature and to be able to walk out from Mount Fu Yao in broad daylight was already their greatest happiness. As for anything else, they did not ask for anything else.
When she finally made it out of the city, Snow heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her head and saw a slender figure standing on a hill near the city gates.
That figure was petite and thin, looking slightly desolate. The strong wind blew her hair, which fluttered freely in the air. She stood alone in the wind, as if she was alone in the world.
