Chapter 1887: “The Twelve Pces’ Summit (1)”
Time passed like sand flowing through one’s fingers, silent in its passage.
Five days passed in a blink and the date to the Twelve Pces’ Summit was getting nearer and it was time for Jun Wu Xie and the others to step out onto the road towards the summit’s venue.
The Twelve Pces had after the Dark Emperor’s fall, not had all the Pce Lords gathered together before. When theirmon enemy disappeared, the first thing they all thought of was to grow and expand their own might, and stand out from all the others, even to the extent of unifying the Twelve Pces under them, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Nine Temples.
For close to a thousand years, open hostility and secret schemes against each other had be amon urrence and although the Twelve Pces were still allies on the surface, in reality they had be mutual enemies, each seeking to surpass each other a notch.
Such a mentality, had made it impossible for them to sit down to talk with each other peacefully.
And they were all meeting for a discussion this time, purely because the Twelve Pces’ struggle against each other had gone from fighting hidden in the dark to have be open confrontation. Ever since the time of the Pure Grace Pce Lord’s birthday banquet where Zhuge Yin was killed, it had dragged the Dragon yers Pce, the Blood Fiend Pce and the Pure Grace Pce into an inseparable mess, with all three sides in incessantbat. The Dragon yers Pce and the Blood Fiend Pce had already reached a stage where one party had to die or they would not rest, while the weaker Pure Grace Pce was sandwiched between the other two pces, losing on both ends.
The other pces had initially been sitting back to watch the show but they had not expected that not too long into the show, another major incident broke out.
They had originally just been waiting to reap some benefit when the me Demons Pce suddenly got into a fight with the Purple Thunder Pce, and the sly Soul Return Pce sank their teeth into the mboyant Pce, with the other pces constantly fighting as well. For some unknown reason, endless conflict seemed to just erupt among them all within the past half year.
In just half a year’s time, the death toll in the pces reached numbers never seen before in the past close to a thousand years, throwing even the various Pce Lords who delighted in ughter to feel ill at ease. With the me Demons Pce and the Blood Fiend Pce taking the lead, they decided to hold this summit, seeking to resolve the matter once and for all with all Pce Lords present. Afterall, if the ughter continued on, it could lead to all of them suffering devastating consequences as even the me Demons Pce were finding it rather difficult to swallow.
The me Demons Pce who had taken the lead in this, had already led their men to make their way towards the venue. The ce was very near to Mount Fu Yao and Mount Fu Yao was the point dividing the Twelve Pces and the Nine Temples, a centralised location, which made its existence rather intriguing, where everyone subconsciously feared the deterrent element of Mount Fu Yao, not daring to act rashly around Mount Fu Yao.
The reason this location was chosen was to set the minds of the various pces at ease as if it had been anywhere else, it was feared that many of the Pce Lords would not dare take a step inside.
The me Demons Pce had already gotten everything for the summit prepared earlier and the second to arrive at that ce was the people from the Blood Fiend Pce.
With the Blood Fiend Pce being one of the triggers for the fighting among the Twelve Pces, their situation recently had not been too good.
With Gu Yiing to the summit this time, he brought quite a number of powerful disciples, where even Gu Ying and Gu Xin Yan had followed as well.
The me Demon Pce’s people then led the Blood Fiend Pces’ disciples to the rooms they would be staying in.
Gu Yi sat inside his room, his gaze cold as he stared at the silent Gu Ying standing in the room.
Gu Ying’s handsome face was filled with light and faint traces of wounds. Compared to normal skin, the colour was slightly lighter and it was not hard to see that those scars should have been left from a few months ago. Although the scab had faded away, but it still added ws to that extraordinarily handsome face. There was even a scar that about a pinky finger’s length but although it was thin, it was highly obvious to see. It could just be imagined how deep that wound must have been,
