[Wonder how that little one is doing now.]
Unable to sleep the entire night, Jun Wu Xie stayed up in her room planning how she was going to deal with the situation in the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital. In order for them to successfully take the map from the Condor Country’s Emperor’s hands, they would need to avoid getting into any conflict with the people from the All Dragons Palace.
The sky turned from night to light, and when the first rays from the sun spilled into the room through the inn’s windows, an anxious rapping suddenly sounded upon her door.
Jun Wu Xie got up to open the door, and saw Qiao Chu standing out outside.
“Little Xie, an incident occurred!” Qiao Chu said.
“What is it?” Jun Wu Xie asked, an eyebrow lifting on her face.
“Rong Ruo has been constantly sending her Hell Butterflies to observe that courtyard secretly but early this morning, something happened there.” Qiao Chu said excitedly. When chaos erupt within Condor Country’s Imperial Capital, they would then have an opportunity to strike.
“It was said that a group of people had tried to charge in there for reasons unknown and they are now fighting with the soldiers from the Condor Country. Should we go take a look to see what’s happening to get a better grasp of the situation?”
Jun Wu Xie’s eyebrow lifted slightly. To think that someone dared to get into a confrontation with the Condor Country’s soldiers in the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital. No matter who that was, it definitely wouldn’t end well for them.
“Do you know the identity of those people?”
Qiao Chu thought about it a moment and said: “That….. I’m not very sure. But I heard that it was a group from a small country, and its….. its name was rather familiar sounding….. That’s right! I remember it now, it’s called the Buckwheat Kingdom.”
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes flashed in sudden surprise, an image of the face of the naive and innocent looking little Emperor immediately surfacing in her mind!
All of a sudden, her mind could not speak another word Qiao Chu any longer and she immediately turned to grab up Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit before charging straight out!
Seeing Jun Wu Xie suddenly leaving in such a anxious hurry, Qiao Chu’s face filled up with surprise. Deeply worried that something would happen to Jun Wu Xie, he quickly hollered for the other companions to gather together and went charging outside, chasing after Jun Wu Xie.
The sun was blocked out by a mass of dark clouds, the sky a dark grey, the gusts of wind blowing highly chilly.
Jun Wu Xie sprinted the entire way, towards the place Fei Yan had told her about before. Although Lord Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit did not know why their Mistress was so nervous, they nevertheless followed closely behind her doggedly.
Gradually nearing the target destination, Jun Wu Xie detected the stench of blood in the wind blowing past her, the smell causing the feeling of unease in her heart to grow more and more intense.
In the area demarcated by the Condor Country’s soldiers, many dead bodies lay scattered upon the floor. They were all dressed in armour that was uniform throughout, spilled blood staining their clothes and armour red, garish wounds all over their entire bodies. The bloodstains spread over their blood soaked clothes, fallen onto the floor, but their hands still gripped around their sword hilts, with several of the Condor Country’s soldiers lying around their bodies.
The citizens of the Condor Country had stayed away from that highly bloody and gory scene and the Condor Country’s soldiers were not grabbing onto a wretched looking elderly man. That elderly man’s face was covered in blood, held down forcibly against his will. Despite his highly bloodied face, the elderly man was still shouting in a loud roar against them.
“The Condor Country are just completely venomous and foul hearted! Intolerable by the Heavens! Heaven is definitely watching! One fine day, you will all suffer retribution for what you have done! All of you will definitely suffer retribution!”
That sound of that voice greatly startled Jun Wu Xie who had just arrived at the place.
[That elderly man covered all over with wounds right in front. Wasn’t that the person who had previously invited her to travel together with them, the Buckwheat Kingdom’s Grand Tutor He! ?]
Volume 13
Chapter 1229: “To be Slayed (2)”
The previously steady and dignified Grand Tutor He had now fallen into such a wretched state!
The soldiers from the Condor Country completely disregarded Grand Tutor He’s curse. They had already raised up their sharp swords high, and were about to thrust them towards Grand Tutor He!
However, just at the very first instant that the swords pierced through Grand Tutor He’s skin on his chest!
A humongous black shadow barreled right into the group of soldiers from the Condor Country!
“Roar!”
The massive black beast was like a black bolt of lightning, tearing the soldiers grabbing onto Grand Tutor He into shreds in an instant. Quickly throwing the severely weakened and completely limp Grand Tutor He onto its back, the black beast leapt up at an extremely fast speed onto a rooftop at the side, speedily disappearing from sight before the soldiers’ eyes, and the soldiers flew into a sudden panic as they searched all over the place in a fluster.
However, a tall figure appeared soundlessly and unnoticed under that chaos among a pile of dead bodies.
The young man’s seemingly detached and completely expressionless face showed not a single trace of emotion. His head was lowered as he looked at the fallen soldiers of the Buckwheat Kingdom, those eyes looking like dried up wells seemed like something was struggling to break out within them. He raised his head up slowly, the dark purple skin on him suddenly turning into a shade of blood!
The black beast carried the weak Grand Tutor He on its back and threw off the pursuit of the Condor Country’s soldiers and gently slipped the Grand Tutor off its back onto the ground within a dark alley. Having fallen under the merciless grip and given in to throes of hopeless despair, Grand Tutor He stared in surprise at the seemingly spirit inclined and highly intelligent black beast. His entire body was covered in wounds, the heavy loss of blood causing him to be unable to do anything but lean helplessly against the wall.
A petite figure then appeared beside the black beast and Grand Tutor He struggled to raise his head to look, and he saw that familiar face looking straight at him.
“It’s you!” Grand Tutor He’s eyes went wide as he stared at the delicate youth before him, a glimmer of hope suddenly shining within his eyes.
“What happened back there?” Jun Wu Xie asked, her face in a frown as she looked at Grand Tutor He. Before Qiao Chu came bearing the news, she had already been feeling uneasy and when she got to the place, she saw the tragedy where all the soldiers of the Buckwheat Kingdom lay dead upon the ground. If she had not gotten there in the nick of time, even Grand Tutor He’s head would have been separated from his body!
The Buckwheat Kingdom’s delegation had come into the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital for barely three days and what could have actually happened that would make all of them suddenly become so reckless to clash in an armed conflict with the Condor Country?
“Save His Majesty! Save His Majesty!” Grand Tutor He pleaded, his face filled with despair. He could not be bothered with the pain wrecking at him from the wounds but fell at the feet of Jun Wu Xie, tugging at the hem of her robe.
“Save His Majesty….. Save His Majesty…..” The voice so devoid of hope spilled out from Grand Tutor He’s mouth, tears flowing down his wrinkled and aged face, almost having given up on it all.
Jun Wu Xie’s heart jumped and she immediately squatted down, popping a life saving elixir into Grand Tutor He’s mouth.
“What actually happened? Where is he?” Jun Wu Xie’s asked, her words subconsciously speeding up.
Grand Tutor He said in a wail: “His Majesty was taken away by the Condor Country’s soldiers that d
ay, to go to a particular courtyard, but he had still not returned till now…..”
Remembering the little Emperor’s knitted brows and that reassuring smile to him, Grand Tutor He felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife. The little Emperor did not return that day and he had gone to ask the Condor Country for a reason. But the Condor Country had not even given him a single explanation which made him feel that the little Emperor had fallen to disaster. After trying to discuss it with the Condor Country but getting no results from it, they had then charged into the place, hoping to be able to rescue the little Emperor out from there safely!
“I was useless! If only I had insisted on that day, even at the cost of my own life, to refuse to let the little Emperor leave with those venomous vermin! I was the one who got His Majesty into this….. I got His Majesty into this…..” Grand Tutor He’s hopeless despair and utter remorse pushed him over a deep cliff. How he wished everything could revert to the way it was. He had thought no matter how maniacal and vicious the Condor Country could be, they would not dare to so blatantly inflict harm upon the rulers of the various countries they had invited to their Imperial Capital, but he realized he had overestimated the character of the Condor Country.

He had thought no matter how maniacal and vicious the Condor Country could be, they would not dare to so blatantly inflict harm upon the rulers of the various countries they had invited to their Imperial Capital, but he realized he had overestimated the character of the Condor Country.
Grand Tutor He had never expected the Condor Country to be so flagrantly impudent as to even dare to lay their hands upon the little Emperor when all the rulers of the various countries were also present.
“Young Master! I beg you! Save His Majesty! This old man will kneel and kowtow to you!” Grand Tutor He forced himself up and knelt before Jun Wu Xie to kowtow before her, his head thudding loudly upon the ground.
“I beg you! Save His Majesty! Save him please! He is still only a child!”
Jun Wu Xie heart felt as if something was stifling it, highly suffocating. She helped Grand Tutor He up as an inexplicable fire spread within her chest.
The Condor Country’s impudence was far from only in this incident. She had still not settled the scores with them for the invasion of the Qi Kingdom and they had just added another instance to the debt owed today!
Although Jun Wu Xie had not interacted with the little Emperor all that much, but she did not deny that anyone would like such a sensible and lovable little child that he was. Every time the little Emperor had addressed her as “Little Big Brother” in his clear childish voice, she had not been able to help herself but think, if she were to have a little brother, she would have hoped that he would be as innocent and as adorable as the little Emperor.
“I will save him. Rest assured.” Jun Wu Xie said as her eyes narrowed up, the murder in her heart already coming to a silent boil.
She had initially intended to strike only after she had everything planned out, but now, she was about to make an exception!
“Thank you! Thank you!” Grand Tutor He was shedding tears of gratitude as he continued to kowtow to Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie left some elixirs with Grand Tutor He and then turned to depart.
The petite little back, flaring with unbridled murderous rage under the dark grey clouds.
“Meh?” Lord Meh Meh followed closely behind Jun Wu Xie, its hooves tapping crisply upon the ground. It could feel Jun Wu Xie’s rage clearly.
The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit remained obediently silent.
“Having received someone’s favours, it must be repaid in folds. Still remember the little one? Now is the moment for both of you to return the favour.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up almost to a deadly slit, as she said in a highly chilling voice.
Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit looked at each other and although they did not fully understand what Jun Wu Xie meant with those words, they had a rather good idea of what Jun Wu Xie wanted them to do.
The Condor Country’s Imperial Capital was covered by the dark grey clouds hanging low overhead, as cracks of thunder sounded within everyone’s ears. The people walking on the streets raised their heads and looked up, watching the pitter patter of little raindrops falling, wetting the clothes upon them.
A sudden blinding bolt of lightning lit up the entire sky!
A gigantic figure suddenly materialized from within that brilliant flash of light!
It was a pure and snowy white Spirit Beast of immense proportions. It descended from the skies, appearing soundlessly and unnoticed in a corner of the Imperial Capital!
The soldiers guarding that area of the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital stared in flummoxed shock when the gigantic beast had appeared so suddenly, their mouths agape like someone had taken all their voices as they fell back onto the ground in terror!
A red flash of lightning then tore through the soldiers of the Condor Country! Before they could see what that red flash really was, their heads had already been lopped off from their bodies!
Bright red blood spurted everywhere!
On the back of the immense sized Spirit Beast and the red lightning flash, the soldiers of the Condor Country suddenly felt the consuming flames of despair quickly rising within their hearts!
Howls of dismay erupted immediately at that moment!
The men who had wilfully slaughtered every one of the Buckwheat Kingdom’s soldiers saw their retribution coming to claim as the nightmarish scene appeared before their eyes!
Blood and the falling rain mixed together. Jun Wu Xie stepped over the flowing blood coloured stream, upon the blood path Lord Meh Meh opened up, every spot she passed, the bodies of the Condor Country’s soldiers lay, their souls departed.
She was a demon who climbed up from the fiery depths of Hell, her fiery flame of vengeance ignited!
The helpless cries of anguish screeched under the booming rumble of thunder, sounding like a discordant cacophony of a tune to send the departed off, delivering the souls of the Buckwheat Kingdom’s soldiers who had died there trying to save a live, to finally rest in peace!
Volume 13
Chapter 1231: “To be Slayed (4)”
The path had blood and rain mixed together. Jun Wu Xie’s face was cold as ice. Huddled in a corner as they trembled in fear, the soldiers wished fervently for the nightmare to end, but then saw figure of a terrifying demon approaching under the blinding flashes of lightning.
It was clearly just a youth in his teens, but it made the soldiers who experienced war through the battlefield felt chills run through them.
That pair of chilling eyes cut through the rain and swept over the soldiers hiding in the back in fear, and the stiffened lips parted slightly.
“None to be spared.”
The instant the voice dropped, a massive black beast suddenly leapt towards those Condor Country’s soldiers who were thinking to run for their lives.
Jun Wu Xie’s steps did not slow in the slightest as she continued to walk on forward. Howls and wails of anguish and terror erupted behind her, and the thick stench of blood caused her breathing to slow.
Despite the heavy guard placed there, they were still unable to stop the ferocious attack from two Guardian Grade Spirit Beasts!
Those cowardly dogs of the Condor Country who abused their authority and position, were made to face the coming of Death.
When the blood had fully stained the ground, and all the Condor Country’s soldiers had been fully annihilated, Jun Wu Xie stepped into the courtyard. Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit then blocked up the entrance from the outside, standing guard over the area.
As she walked further inside the courtyard, Jun Wu Xie detected a distasteful stench. The way forward had numerous Buckwheat Kingdom’s soldiers littered all around, their blood spilt onto the ground. As she looked further up the path, she saw a line of blood stained footprints lead
ing further inside!
A continuous series of bestial roars sounded from further inside the courtyard, the sounds of fighting apparent, the thick stench of blood hung heavily over the spacious courtyard.
Jun Wu Xie went further inside with every step she took, and then she suddenly saw a shocking sight within the courtyard.
A young man with highly bulging muscles, his face similarly bulging with thick green veins, had his entire body stuck fully with arrows. A countless number of wounds filled his body and he was currently surrounded by a group of soldiers from the Condor Country, the soldiers constantly waving the swords they held in their hands at him.
That young man merely knelt in his spot, roaring at the soldiers continuously, his eyes completely dull and lifeless, seemingly reacting completely by instinct.
And the reason he was not able to retaliate, and unable to run away, was right in his arms…..
In his arms, was cradled a red hair little child. That child had his black pair of eyes wide open, staring blankly ahead as he was cradled within the young man’s arms, not moving an inch, those eyes similarly as dead and lifeless as the young man.
But it was that face, that Jun Wu Xie would never forget.
It was the Buckwheat Kingdom’s little Emperor!
The child cradled within the young man’s arms, was the missing little Emperor from the Buckwheat Kingdom!
“Damn it all! Where did that one pop out from? Go and release those other poison men quickly!” One of the soldiers of the Condor Kingdom’s shouted in frustrated rage. Faced with one of the poison man they have undergone alteration through the poison experiments, they were not a match for him. If not for the fact that he was protecting the little child, they would all already be dead.
Hearing the order, another one of the Condor Country’s soldiers immediately turned around, intending to go get reinforcements.
