1638 Heart Breaking Parting 6 (1/2)
The Cloudy Brook Academy's decision was known by the Twelve Palaces and the Nine Temples earlier and they could not enter Mount Fu Yao so they could only remain at the foot of the mountain to wait to pick up their disciples and bring them back.
Qiao Chu and the other companions each found their own way to slip away from the crowd where they gathered to meet with Jun Wu Xie within the thick woods.
It was already winter and there was a flurry of snow, a white blanket covering over the evergreen trees, wrapping everything in silver and white.
”We're finally out.” Qiao Chu lamented as he stretched his limbs. Under the cover of the tree's leaves, there wasn't a single snowflake upon his body as he looked smilingly at Hua Yao and the others standing around him.
This would be the last time they gathered before going to the Twelve Palaces.
”After this, it's time to see what we're capable of.” Fei Yan said feeling rather restless with eagerness. They had had to hide their strength for many years waiting just for this moment for revenge. From the moment that they set foot inside the Twelve Palaces, the fire of vengeance would truly begin to burn with a blazing rage.
And their plan, would begin in earnest.
”Little Xie, you'll be remaining within the Spirit Jade Palace?” Fan Zhuo asked as he looked at Jun Wu Xie. They all had their objectives but Jun Wu Xie would be taking a different line from all of them.
”I do not know yet. That is what I have decided for the moment.” Jun Wu Xie said softly. She composed her emotions before raising her eyes to look at all her young companions.
”The incident between Qiao Chu and Lin Hao Yu will surely cause the Flame Demons Palace to fight the Blood Fiend Palace and you guys should set your sights properly on your own targets then.”
Qiao Chu had continually bashed up Lin Hao Yu in the Cloudy Brook Academy and besides venting it out on him on behalf of Jun Wu Xie, there was a deeper motive behind it.
The Flame Demons Palace and the Blood Fiend Palace are almost equally matched among the Twelve Palaces and they both seek to gain the top position's throne. But the two powers had not blatantly gone against each other on the surface but had only secretly schemed against each other behind the scenes. Lin Hao Yu is the grandson of an Elder in the Blood Fiend Palace and Qiao Chu is new found strength that the Flame Demons Palace are paying much attention to. Among either one of them, they both carry a significant amount of weight within the powers they serve respectively and the grudge formed between Qiao Chu and Lin Hao Yu within the Cloudy Brook Academy would definitely be brought over into the two palaces.
