Qing Yu had not been worried that Jun Xie would really draw the attention of that person but one Devious Wyvern had changed all of that. They all knew that the Devious Wyvern Lin Que possessed was going to be gifted to Qu Xin Rui but it had been swallowed up by Jun Xie’s Spirit Beast. That must have thrown Qu Xin Rui into a rage!
“I’ll go get the Clan Chief immediately! I’ll ask him to get you out of the city!” Qu Yu could not wait another moment longer. He had personally witnessed that person’s cruel ways before. Whoever angered her, would undoubtedly have to repay for it with his life. Even Qu Ling Yue had not dared to show the slightest disrespect before her.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Qing Yu who had worked himself up into such a fluster and she calmly said: “No need.”
Qing Yu retorted: “Young Master Jun! This is no joking matter at all! That person was seeking to possess the Devious Wyvern and you have destroyed it. She would never let you off for that! I know that you possess very high spirit powers, but that person had already attained the Purple Spirits several decades ago! Her powers now will surely be even more unfathomable. There is no way you can be a match for her.”
Jun Wu Xie then asked: “You really think that she sent this to me here, because she wants to kill me?”
“What else could it be?” Qing Yu then said.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Qing Yu and said in a patient voice: “If she really wanted to kill me, she would have acted immediately upon my return from the Spirit Beast Arena.”
Qing Yu was suddenly at a loss for words.
“Losing the Devious Wyvern, was not a responsibility that Lin Feng would be able to shoulder himself. He would have pleaded for his father to help him at the first instance and Lin Que would not dare to keep the matter under wraps and would have reported it to that person immediately. If that person really wanted to have me killed, she would have already acted by now. Why would she wait till now?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyebrow arched up and she pointed at the invitation card to say: “Do you really think, with her status and position in the Thousand Beast City, to just kill me, she would need to set up such an elaborate and mystifying trap?”

Chapter 1023: “Dangerous Feast (2)”
Jun Wu Xie’s words were like a bucket of cold water thrown upon the highly anxious Qing Yu that calmed him right down.
“Then why would she still send you this invitation?” Jun Wu Xie was right. With Qu Xin Rui’s power and her status in the Thousand Beast City, if she really wanted to kill Jun Xie, she would not need to do it in such a roundabout manner. And moreover, the incident had already passed for quite a time before this invitation was sent here.
“Maybe, she felt that I can be of some use to her.” Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly. She had never thought that Qu Xin Rui would send an invitation to her, and the reason for that invitation was still not known to her for the moment.
“Then, Young Master Jun, does that mean you will be going?” Qing Yu was still feeling rather worried about it.
“Make a guess.” Jun Wu Xie threw the question back at him and Qing Yu did not say anything else.
If Jun Wu Xie was not going to leave the Thousand Beast City, then she would have to turn up for Qu Xin Rui’s birthday celebrations. But she wasn’t too bothered even if she was to really attend it. As Qu Xin Rui had not immediately made any attempts to kill her, that had told her clearly that Qu Xin Rui would not do anything to her during the birthday feast. She might also be able to find out the reason why she had been invited by attending the banquet.
After thinking the entire matter through, Qing Yu still felt that the entire matter felt too dangerous and he immediately ran to Xiong Ba to discuss it with him.
In the room, Jun Wu Xie was the only person left inside. She sat expressionlessly at the table as she poured herself a drink.
“Young Miss.” The figure of Ye Sha suddenly appeared within the room.
“In the past two days, were there any more people watching the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall?” Jun Wu Xie asked. On the night after Lord Meh Meh swallowed up the Devious Wyvern, Ye Sha had immediately detected that someone had infiltrated the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall deep in the night and hidden himself outside her door to watch her.
And Ye Sha had been able to sense that the man’s spirit energy was at least of the Purple Spirit or higher.
From that moment on, Jun Wu Xie knew that she had alerted the one in the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and that person had for consecutive days, sent people to observe her but they had never revealed themselves. Hence, Jun Wu Xie knew that Qu Xin Rui would soon act.
“They had not come in the past two days.” Ye Sha said.
“The things I asked you to do, have they been done?” Jun Wu Xie asked, slightly raising her eyes.
“It’s all done. You can rest assured, Young Miss.”
Jun Wu Xie nodded in satisfaction.
“The man who came here in the past few days, did you manage to assess his power?”
“I managed to get a rough gauge.” Ye Sha replied.
“How does he compare to you?” Jun Wu Xie inquired.
Ye Sha was silent a moment before he said: “Your subordinate will be able to take him down.”
That meant that the opponent’s powers was inferior to Ye Sha’s and the difference wasn’t just by a bit.
Although Ye Sha did not possess any spirit powers, but his battle prowess was somewhat higher than common Purple Spirits. When she heard Ye Sha’s words, Jun Wu Xie was slightly more relieved.
“Young Miss.” Ye Sha said suddenly.
Jun Wu Xie acknowledged nonchalantly and raised her cup intending to take sip from it.
“Ye Mei sent news that he will be returning with Young Master Wu Yao in a few days.” Ye Sha reported in a low voice.
At that moment, the teacup in Jun Wu Xie’s hand wavered, very nearly spilling its contents. Her face was completely expressionless but her fingers moved slightly, the only sign that betrayed her emotions.
“Is that so.” She replied without emotion, like she did not care in the slightest.
“Yes. Young Master Wu Yao had also instructed Ye Mei to relay the message asking for the Young Miss to take good care of herself and wait for him to come here.” Ye Sha said, reporting the message Ye Mei sent over, word for word.
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes lowered, as she looked at her own reflection in the teacup.
“Alright.”

Chapter 1024: “Dangerous Feast (3)”
When Xiong Ba knew that Qu Xin Rui had actually sent an invitation to Jun Xie, inviting Jun Xie to attend her birthday banquet, he immediately broke into a rage. He charged with fiery speed straight to Jun Xie’s room and pushed the room door open to declare: “You cannot attend Qu Xin Rui’s banquet!”
Jun Wu Xie seemed like she had been thinking of something and her gaze was solemn. With Xiong Ba’s single loud roar, she immediately recovered her senses and turned to look calmly at the heavily panting Xiong Ba.
“Why?”
“The kind of person Qu Xin Rui is, I know most clearly. For her to invite you for no good reason like this, could not be a good thing for you.” It was still fresh in Xiong Ba’s mind the deeds Qu Xin Rui had committed before. He remembered when Qu Xin Rui first came back to the Thousand Beast City, he was not yet the Fiery Blaze Clan’s Clan Chief. He had been just slightly over twenty years of age and was just the Fiery Blaze Clan’s Deputy Clan Chief. He had a rash temperament while the Fiery Blaze Clan’s Clan Chief was calm, steady, and highly decisive. The Clan Chief was a senior Xiong Ba respected the most.
But after Qu Xin Rui arrived here, she had asked Qu Wen Hao to assist her with the investigation of the Heaven’s End Cliff. From the beginning, no one knew w
hat the bottom of the Heaven’s End Cliff was like at all. The Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City and their four Clan Chiefs saw her as a revered senior of the Thousand Beast City, their protector from the past. Afterall, Qu Xin Rui had brought great glory to the Thousand Beast City before she left and they trusted Qu Xin Rui, believing that a respected senior would not do anything to bring harm to the Thousand Beast City.
Hence, in the initial stages, regardless whether it was the Grand Chieftain or the four Clan Chiefs, they were all willing to help Qu Xin Rui achieve her goals.
But after the first teams from the Thousand Beast City went down to the bottom of the Heaven’s End Cliff, the result they gained had been zero survivors. That had been a team of close to one thousand people, formed from the elite of the Thousand Beast City’s four clans.Those people had gone to the bottom of the Heaven’s End Cliff bearing the trust and reverence for the powerful Purple Spirit but not a single one among them had returned from the bottom of that cliff alive.
The total annihilation shocked the whole Thousand Beast City, for all those who died, were a group of the most precious people to the Thousand Beast City. The Grand Chieftain was heartbroken and aggrieved and the four Clan Chiefs were sad and dispirited. But Qu Xin Rui still did not want to give up, she persuaded and cajoled the people to attempt again, saying that everything had just been an accident and the people who went down the Heaven’s End Cliff might still be alive and were waiting for people to go save them.
Because of that, the Thousand Beast City sent out another team of people and the number of people was even doubled.
However, all those people were like a stone that sank into the ocean, to remain at the bottom of the Heaven’s End Cliff forever.
Ever since that time, the people of the Thousand Beast City realized that the Heaven’s End Cliff was the most dangerous place in the world and the Grand Chieftain was no longer willing to send anymore people to the Heaven’s End Cliff, firmly refusing any of Qu Xin Rui’s subsequent requests.
It was at that time that Qu Xin Rui completely tore off her mask of pretense, and revealed her real personality, that was one of cruelty and viciousness.
That very night, she brought her henchmen and captured all the four clan’s Clan Chiefs, bringing them to the Grand Chieftain’s Residence’s main gates. The entire city’s people were alerted and before everyone’s eyes, they massacred all the four senior Clan Chiefs who were dead against any more expeditions to the Heaven’s End Cliff!
The whole Thousand Beast City were overtaken with madness at that moment and at the moment the people were about to retaliate, Qu Xin Rui told them that their family members have been captured and their lives were in her hands. If all of them did not comply to her wishes, then all their family members would become deceased spirits by her knife.
That very night, it was not known how many lost their lives. All those who resisted, the innocent people who were helplessly captured, and all those killed by Qu Xin Rui and her underlings at the gates of the Grand Chieftain’s Residence, the blood of all those people, turning the stones outside the Grand Chieftain’s Residence a bright red…..
Qu Xin Rui used the most brutal method and most malicious scheme, to make the entire Thousand Beast City, to succumb to her tight grip of control!

Chapter 1025: “Dangerous Feast (4)”
Xiong Ba told Jun Xie all the deeds that Qu Xin Rui had committed in the past and hoped that Jun Xie would give up on his intention of attending the birthday banquet. They had brought Jun Xie to come here and he was the last hope they had to save the Thousand Beast City. The Thousand Beast City was by now unable to sustain any more losses of their people and if even Jun Xie succumbed under the hand of Qu Xin Rui, Xiong Ba did not dare to imagine who else would be able to save them from it all.
“Jun Xie! You must not go!” Xiong Ba boomed as he stared at Jun Xie.
Jun Wu Xie then said: “If I do not go, are you then going to send me out of the city?”
Xiong Ba was stumped, as he stood frozen in his spot.
“The invitation has already reached me. If I do not go, that was be a snub to her face and she would definitely not tolerate that from me. The only option left for me then would be to leave the Thousand Beast City to escape from all of this. But if I am to leave, will there still be any meaning for me to even come here in the first place?” Jun Wu Xie said as she looked at Xiong Ba. She understood Xiong Ba’s concerns, but the bow had been strung and they had to shoot the arrow.
Xiong Ba fell back into a chair in defeat, his face perplexed.
“That’s right. She will not spare anyone who goes against her wishes. To save you, we will need to send you far away from the Thousand Beast City. With that….. you will not be able to execute any of your plans here…..”
“She will not do anything to me. Or at least, she won’t on the day of the banquet.” Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly. That was one point she was still fairly confident of.
“Are you really going?” Xiong Ba said, still feeling rather worried.
Jun Wu Xie nodded to him.
“On the day of the banquet, Qing Yu and me will stick close by your side. If anything unexpected comes up, we will do everything in our power to escort you out. If anything really happens at that time, you must leave the Thousand Beast City immediately and never come back.” Xiong Ba said, staring unwaveringly at Jun Xie. They asked Jun Xie to come, not for her to lose her life here. And if the Heavens were to really abandon the Thousand Beast City, they will then have to deal with it on their own.
“Mmm.” Jun Wu Xie did not believe that anything untoward will happen on the day of the banquet and she had responded in agreement only to ease Xiong Ba’s worries.
Xiong Ba sighed heavily, but his face was still looking deeply troubled.
Jun Wu Xie poured him a cup of water and she discreetly slipped a little soothing and calming medicinal powder into the cup. After Xiong Ba gulped it down, he finally managed to calm down a little.
“You must really be on your toes at that time. I know you are surpassingly intelligent and even if I wreck my brains out, I will still pale in comparison to what you can think of.” Xiong Ba reminded as he looked at Jun Xie. If he had not met Jun Xie, he would really find it hard to believe that a young little youth like Jun Xie, could possibly be capable of such careful and meticulous deliberations.
“I will.” Jun Wu Xie agreed.
Xiong Ba had seemingly suddenly transformed into a naggy old man and he warned and reminded Jun Xie repeatedly for a rather long while more, constantly harping on Qu Xin Rui’s temperament and her idiosyncrasies. Only after he emptied out the entire flask of water did he finally spare Jun Xie and took his leave. From the way it looked when he left, he was definitely going to seek out Qing Yu to continue with his tirade.
The matter about Qu Xin Rui inviting Jun Xie to the banquet, did not really concern Jun Wu Xie too much herself, but it sure threw the Fiery Blaze Clan’s Clan Chief and his deputy into a hapless tizzy.
“Mistress seems to be in a rather good mood today.” The little black cat said, looking at Jun Wu Xie. Jun Wu Xie had actually exhibited several rare instances of “humanity” with her warmth and gentle consideration for others, which made the little black cat want to stand up and clap for the immense progress its Mistress had achieved.
“Really?” Jun Wu Xie did not feel any different.
Talking about her mood, Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes and looked out at the scenery outside her window. She was somehow feeling, as she stared into the stretches of green outside, that an all too familiar figure would appear suddenly, his face showing his highly comforting smile as he walked slowly towards her.
[Maybe…..]
[Soon, they will meet again.]

Chapter 1026: “Birthday Banquet (1)”
>
Time passed and the days went by one at a time. Qu Xin Rui’s birthday was quickly approaching and the batch of people who were to be sent back out of the city would be bidding their families goodbye on the day after the birthday banquet. Torn away from their home soil, and placed back into captivity in that stifling prison.
It was already evening on that day. After Xiong Ba and Qing Yu finished dealing with the clan’s tasks, they immediately went towards Jun Xie’s room. This day, they would be going to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers together, to offer their congratulations to that person for her birthday.
Although it was to be congratulatory, but there wasn’t the slightest tinge of voluntary willingness on Xiong Ba’s face. The congratulatory gift from him was even prepared by Qing Yu. Jun Wu Xie packed up her things and then took out a bottle of elixirs from her Cosmos Sack to hold in her hand.
When Xiong Ba saw the bottle in Jun Xie’s hand, he asked curiously: “What is that?”
“Congratulatory gift.” Jun Wu Xie replied.
Xiong Ba’s eyes widened.
“You have even prepared a congratulatory gift for that old hag?”
Jun Wu Xie’s gaze fell calmly onto the two brocade boxes Qing Yu was carrying.
Xiong Ba’s face turned red and he coughed awkwardly.
“That was prepared by Qing Yu. I am not going to give anything to that old hag. Not a single copper coin.”
Qing Yu looked at Xiong Ba with a bitter laugh. He had not prepared anything, but wouldn’t that mean Qing Yu had to do it for him?
“Young Master Jun, please do not mind him. Our Clan Chief has always been like this. Making him attend the banquet is no different from pushing him up onto the executioner’s block. For that person’s birthday banquet every year, I have always had to prepare two congratulatory gifts. As Young Master Jun is not from our Thousand Beast City, it will be alright even if you do not bring any gift.”
