“Him?” Ling Feng looked at Jun Xie who was standing next to Qu Ling Yue and his brows creased together. His gaze looked Jun Xie up and down contemptuously, without showing the slightest respect in his eyes.
“Ling Yue, is what you are saying really true? Your injuries were really cured by this little kid?” Ling Feng looked at Jun Xie disapprovingly, his voice filled with animosity.
He really could not see just what a young kid of that age could possibly be capable of.
“That is naturally true. Uncle Feng knows all about it as well.” Qu Ling Yue was not good with lies and her eyes were tinged with a little bit of awkwardness as she looked pleadingly at Feng Yue Yang.
Against Qu Ling Yue’s nervousness, Jun Wu Xie instead did not feel the slightest sense of unease. To her, regardless whether it was “Jun Xie” or Jun Wu Xie, it was both the same person.
Feng Yue Yang noticed Qu Ling Yue’s signal of distress and he sighed inwardly in his heart. “That was what happened.”
Even with Feng Yue Yang’s assurance, Lin Feng still found Jun Xie to be an eyesore, Especially when he saw the smile that Qu Ling Yue shows towards the boy, which highly pricked at his eyes.
Qu Ling Yue had not returned to the Thousand Beast City often in the recent years. She spent most of her time at the War Banner Academy and the number of times she came back here could be counted on one hand. Even though Qu Ling Yue was a girl, but she was already widely recognized to become the next Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City and anyone who manages to marry her, to bring her into their family, would be as good as marrying the entire Thousand Beast City into their grasp.
Moreover, Qu Ling Yue was highly attractive looking and Lin Feng had harboured intentions towards Qu Ling Yue for a long time, but he had not been able to do much as Qu Ling Yue seldom came back. He had suddenly heard that Qu Ling Yue would be coming back with Xiong Ba and the others this time and Lin Feng had specially tidied himself up before rushing over here riding his horse hard.
He had thought that with Qu Ling Yue having just suffered back in the Fire Country, it would be a good chance for him to show himself off but he had not thought that the moment he got here, he would be seeing Qu Ling Yue smiling so sweetly to a stranger with delicately handsome features, her tone of voice towards him even sounding a little protective!
How could Lin Feng be expected to not find Jun Xie an eyesore?
“Having been able to cure Ling Yue, was his fortune. Ling Yue, I know that you just recovered, and I have specially brought over some nourishing elixirs specially for you. You keep them first, and if you find that it’s not enough, just tell me then. These elixirs were from the time my father went to the Qing Yun Clan years ago to get his hands on them. Now that the Qing Yun Clan is no longer around, these elixirs have become extremely rare. I believe that they will definitely be beneficial for you.” As he spoke, Lin Feng then pulled out a bottle of elixirs from within his robes and quickly shoved it into Qu Ling Yue’s hands.
Qu Ling Yue wanted to reject him, but was unable to stand up against Lin Feng’s insistence, and she could only hold it in her hand awkwardly.
Lin Feng lifted his brow triumphantly as he glanced at Jun Xie. After the Qing Yun Clan disappeared, the remaining elixirs that had been from the Qing Yun Clan saw their prices increase by many folds and now, these things have become almost priceless treasures, where they were no longer available, even if you have money.
Lin Feng did not believe that the little kid who has not even fully matured had been able to cure Qu Ling Yue’s injuries.
“I have fully recovered. These elixirs, I don’t think I will have a use for them.” Qu Ling Yue then said.

Chapter 958: “Thousand Beast City (4)”
Lin Feng replied: “Even if you can’t use it now, it will be good to keep it with you. Your body constitution is a little weak and the elixirs from the Qing Yun Clan are hard to find. Just keep it with you just in case.”
Jun Wu Xie cast a brief glance at Lin Feng. She saw Lin Feng almost looking like he was trying to show off in front of her and that puzzled her a little. This was the first time she was meeting Lin Feng. So why was she detecting this obvious animosity towards her from him?
Unknown to her, she had already been seen as potential foe in his pursuit of Qu Ling Yue and as Jun Wu Xie was still feeling puzzled, she could only hear Lin Feng incessantly harping on how rare and priceless the elixirs from the Qing Yun Clan was.
If Lin Feng were to know that the one person responsible for causing the entire Qing Yun Clan to disappear from the face of these lands was actually Jun Xie whom he secretly despised at that moment, one wondered what Lin Feng would think of that.
Xiong Ba was able to detect the disdain from Lin Feng’s words and not having liked Lin Feng much in the first place, he immediately said: “Lin Feng, our Young Miss just came back and I need to send her back to the Grand Chieftain. If it is nothing important, do not hold us back here any further.”
Lin Feng swung his gaze towards Xiong Ba and his lips curled up in a cold smile. Based on seniority in the hierarchy, Xiong Ba would be on the same level as his father Lin Que, and he was supposed to address Xiong Ba as an uncle, but there wasn’t a single tinge of respect in those eyes looking at Xiong Ba.
“Alright, then Ling Yue, you should get some rest and I will not disturb you any further. After you are well rested today, I will go look for you tomorrow.” After saying that, Lin Feng did not even look at Xiong Ba at all but just leapt onto his horse and rode off kicking up a cloud of dust.
Xiong Ba’s brows furrowed together as he looked at the departing figure of Lin Feng, his eyes looking highly displeased.
“He is really getting more and more impudent with his ways.” Qing Yu said, sounding a little peeved.
“Lin Que has already switched his allegiance towards that person now, they would naturally think nothing of a Clan Hall Chief like me. His son would also naturally share his father’s thoughts and views.” Xiong Ba said with a sigh, and then looking apologetically towards Jun Xie. Although Lin Feng had not said a single word to Jun Xie earlier, but through his conversation with Qu Ling Yue, he had exhibited strong animosity and disdain towards Jun Xie and that had caused Xiong Ba to feeling highly embarrassed.
“Young Master Jun, you must have been put in a tight spot. I am deeply apologetic.”
Jun Wu Xie was completely unaffected as she shook her head. “Who is he?”
Xiong Ba said: “He is the Icy Frost Clan Hall’s Chief, Lin Que’s son. Besides the Grand Chieftain in the Thousand Beast City, there are four other clan halls, and Lin Que is from one of them. Lin Que is a sly one. Not long after that Purple Spirit returned here, he had already secretly aligned himself with that person. All these years, he had shown scant regard for the Grand Chieftain’s authourity and only carried out tasks under that person’s orders. In the recent years, the Grand Chieftain had been sending less and less men out on the expeditions but Lin Que had in order to please that person, frequently arranged for men to be sent out, leading to the deaths of many more of our brethren.” Xiong Ba was looking pained as he spoke. The four Hall Chiefs were once close like brothers and despite at the current situation in the Thousand Beast City, they still stood with the Grand Chieftain.
With the exception of Lin Que, who had betrayed the trust of all of them.
“The current Thousand Beast City on its surface looks like the Grand Chieftain is in charge, but in reality, everything had fallen under the control of that person. Lin Que has gained the trust of that person and his position in the Thousand Beast City has already surpassed the other three Hall Chiefs, even to the extent that he challenges the Grand Chieftain. Sigh…..” Xiong Ba sighed deeply, feeling depressed inside and angry on the outside. The Thousand Beast City was really seeing no end to the troubles upon them.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly. Little wonder Lin Feng had not even bothered to look Xiong Ba even once in the eye. Besides Qu Ling Yu
e, he had also disregarded Feng Yue Yang and Qing Yu completely.

Chapter 959: “Thousand Beast City (5)”
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about all this. Our Young Miss has just returned and I need to report to the Grand Chieftain. Qing Yu, make arrangements for Young Master Jun to stay in the Fiery Blaze Hall. Young Master Jun, allow me to take my leave.” Having to deal with the impudent Lin Feng the moment he got back, Xiong Ba was feeling might displeased. Fortunately Jun Xie had not taken offense and that had made him feel a little more relieved.
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
Feng Yue Yang left to return to his residence while Xiong Ba escorted Qu Ling Yue to the Grand Chieftain’s residence , and Jun Wu Xie followed Qing Yu to enter the Fiery Blaze Hall.
Qing Yu was the Fiery Blaze’s Deputy Clan Hall Chief and although he was not comparable to someone who was thirty, forty years of age, he handled matters in a calm and composed manner, who well complimented and toned down the explosive Xiong Ba.
Led by Qing Yu, the members of the Fiery Blaze Clan very soon knew that a young guest had appeared in their Clan Hall, and they were cordial and friendly towards Jun Xie.
“Young Master Jun can reside in this room for this period. I will arrange for someone to send some food over and you can get some rest in the meantime. If there is anything you need, you will just need to tell any of our brothers within the Clan Hall.” Qing Yu said with a smile. In regards to the highly resourceful Jun Xie, he held Jun Xie in great esteem and admiration.
“Thank you.” Jun Wu Xie nodded.
Qing Yu left quickly after.
Jun Wu Xie sat down in the room and the little black cat naturally leapt up onto the table before her. Lord Meh Meh on the other hand, was rubbing itself against the side of Jun Wu Xie’s ankles instead.
“Meow.”
[That rat called Lin Feng seems to hold great animosity against you.]
The little black cat stared at Jun Wu Xie as it licked its paws lazily. Even it had noticed the enmity Lin Feng held towards her.
“Don’t bother with him.” Jun Wu Xie did not even deem Lin Feng to be worth her notice and if Lin Feng did not aggravate her, she could not be bothered with him.
“Meow~?”
[What do you intend to do next?]
“Wait.” Jun Wu Xie said, her eyes narrowing.
In order to resolve the crisis the Thousand Beast City was facing, the only way to break out of it was to find the people they have abducted. Only after those people have been rescued, would the people from the Twelve Palaces no longer have a handle to be used as a threat upon the Thousand Beast City.
“Hua Yao and the others have been split up to go to several places outside the Thousand Beast City and according to what Qu Ling Yue said, at the end of the month, another batch of prisoners would be brought here to the Thousand Beast City while they will bring back the batch of people who have been released this month. Once they see those prisoners being brought in, Fei Yan and the others would know from which direction they came from and when they leave, they will be able to follow them.”
Before the enemy moved, Jun Wu Xie did not intend to alert the snake in the grass. She would just try to gather more clues from within the Thousand Beast City.
There was at least one point that she needed to ascertain now. And that was how many people from the Twelve Palaces were here in the Thousand Beast City and whether her companions and the Thousand Beast City would be able to take them on.
“Meow.”
The little black cat swished its tail and did not say anything more.
From what it could see, Jun Wu Xie was playing a dangerous game at that moment. The prize if they were victorious was great, but at the same time, failure would similarly bring to them grave danger.
Xiong Ba led Qu Ling Yue towards the Grand Chieftain’s residence.
The current Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, Qu Wen Hao, was approximately fifty years of age, father to Qu Ling Yue. His face was pleasantly bright, his eyes penetrating and alive. If not for the two streaks of white hair at his temples, just judging from his countenance alone, one would place him at most to be thirty years old.
Qu Ling Yue had just stepped into the Grand Chieftain’s residence when Qu Wen Hao immediately came forward.
“Father!” The moment Qu Ling Yue saw her father, the taut string that had been stretched within her heart immediately loosened.
“Glad to have you back, glad to have you back.” Qu Wen Hao said, his pleasant and bright face revealing a comforted smile.
Volume 10
Chapter 960: “Thousand Beast City (6)”
Qu Wen Hao had given his entire life to the Thousand Beast City and he had been over thirty when he had her daughter Qu Ling Yue with his wife. Even though Qu Ling Yue was a girl, but Qu Wen Hao had showered all his attention and fatherly love to Qu Ling Yue, and despite the current dire straits the Thousand Beast City was currently facing, he was still doing everything he could to protect this daughter of his.
“Chieftain.” Xiong Ba said as he knelt down on one knee.
Qu Wen Hao nodded with a smile and said: “I have greatly troubled Chief Xiong this time.”
“Chieftain is too kind. Being able to bring Young Miss back safely, your subordinate is greatly satisfied.” Xiong Ba said.
“Come sit down.” Qu Wen Hao pulled Qu Ling Yue to the side to take a seat, anxiously looking his daughter up and down. When he saw the rosy cheeks on Qu Ling Yue’s face and was completely unlike the news he had previously heard from the Fire Country where she was gravely injured, his heart filled with joy and relief, but he could not help himself as as questions grew in his mind.
“Ling Yue, you are fully recovered from your injuries?”
Qu Ling Yue glanced at Xiong Ba before she told her father everything that had happened in the Fire Country.
When Qu Wen Hao finishing hearing everything, a strange look came onto his face. He had not thought that Qu Ling Yue’s initially supposed grave injuries, would turn out to be secretly induced under the arrangements of Fire Country’s Emperor! The moment he heard that his daughter had suffered such torment because of the Fire Country’s Emperor’s selfish desires, Qu Wen Hao was enraged. Fortunately Qu Ling Yue immediately told him of the change of regime in the current Fire Country and Qu Wen Hao’s rage was overtaken with several gasps of shock he gave.
“Is all this true?” Qu Wen Hao stared wide eyed in disbelief. From Qu Ling Yue’s words, he realized that the current Fire Country’s rulership had completely changed. The Emperor had been forced to abdicate, while the Empress’, Prime Minister’s and the Fourth Prince’s heads were publicly displayed in shame over their city’s gates!
The Fire Country was the biggest country and they had not found anyone who was their match for many years. So, who would have thought that the one who had completely taken them down this time was not another country, or another power, but was a completely unknown young youth!
“Every single word I said is true, and I witnessed it all with my own eyes.” Qu Ling Yue reaffirmed as she nodded her head.
“Such an intelligent person exist under these Heavens? That is really very shocking to know. That kind of resourcefulness and his extraordinary spirit power level. It is all just too unbelievable.” As the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, Qu Wen Hao had seen much in the ways of the world. He had many quite a lot of the strange happenings and extraordinary people of the world before, but he had never encountered a youth so well equipped with both brain and brawn.
Just fourteen to fifteen years old and he was able to toy with the mightiest country in the land within the grasp of his palm? And his spirit powers had reached the green spirit level as well? That was inhuman! That person could only be a demon!
“Young Master Jun is quick witted and nimble minded, and he possesses extraordinary power. He is truly the most extraordinary talent that your subordinate has ever seen in his life.” Xiong Ba
praised generously when talking about Jun Xie. To possess such gift and not be proud nor impatient, not rash like many youths at that age, it was indeed very rare to see.
“Hearing the two of you heaping such praise on him, I am rather keen to meet this Young Master Jun myself.” Qu Wen Hao said with a laugh.
Qu Ling Yue was delighted and she immediately said: “Then your daughter is of the same mind as father. Young Master Jun is currently here in the Thousand Beast City as a guest and is currently put up in the Fire Blaze Clan Hall by Uncle Xiong.”
“Oh? Then Xiong Ba you have to make sure that you treat our guest well.” Qu Wen Hao said with a laugh.
Qu Ling Yue and Xiong Ba exchanged a glance with each other. They could see that Qu Wen Hao held admiration for Jun Xie and after thinking about it another moment, Qu Ling Yue suddenly leaned over to Qu Wen Hao’s ear and whispered into it.

Chapter 961: “Thousand Beast City (7)”
Qu Ling Yue and Xiong Ba exchanged a glance with each other. They could see that Qu Wen Hao held great admiration for Jun Xie and after thinking about it another moment, Qu Ling Yue suddenly leaned over to Qu Wen Hao’s ear and whispered into it.
The benign smile on Qu Wen Hao’s face froze instantly and as Qu Ling Yue’s explanation went on further, the shock within his eyes seemed to grow more and more intense.
“Ling Yue! This time, you have been too brazenly bold!” Qu Wen Hao could not believe what he had just heard with his own ears. Qu Li Yue had actually revealed everything that was happening in the Thousand Beast City to Jun Xie and had even invited her to come to the Thousand Beast City to help them!
