  Shen Chi cast a glance at them and the sides of his mouth lifted in a cruel smirk.

  “The taste of the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City, should be rather good right?”

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1091: “The Despicable Got Their Way (1)”

  In the Thousand Beast City, two youths clad in dark cloaks infiltrated into the city under the darkness of the night. Their movements were nimble as they avoided detection from the city’s guards, silently slipping into the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall.

  Standing before the main doors of the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, a youth pulled out a crude and simple map from his robes and said to his companion beside him: “This should be the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall right? Little Xie told us previously to look for her here after we come into the city, this couldn’t be wrong, could it?”

  The dim moonlight shone upon the other youth beside him and the mole of beauty at the corner of the youth’s eye was especially eye grabbing.

  “It won’t.”

  The youth holding the map immediately stuffed the map into his robes and whispered in a soft voice: “We had really done well on this job and if Xiong Ba doesn’t treat me to a good jar, I will not tell him where the people of the Thousand Beast City have been imprisoned.”

  His companions threw him a glance but did not say anything more.

  The two slender figures then disappeared in an instant under the pale moonlight.

  Inside the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, Xiong Ba was seated beside the table, as several wine jars lay haphazardly around his feet. His face was all red from drink, but the wine in his cup had not been able to ease his sorrows in the slightest, the deep frown on his face had not relaxed at all.

  Qing Yu sat opposite Xiong Ba, his complexion pale, dark rings showing under his eyes.

  The stench of wine filled the interior of the room, the oppressive air within making it hard to breathe.

  “Sigh….. What is happening here? That the Thousand Beast City….. the Thousand Beast City….. would actually be reduced to such a sorry state. To think that for so many years, we were seen to be so mighty in the eyes of the people throughout the world, but now….. Ha! Betrayal of trust, abandonment of morals, repaying kindness with ingratitude….. Actions of completely despicable minions…..” Xiong Ba was drunk enough that his awareness was already slightly fuzzy. He lifted the wine jar in his hand and took a long draw with a bitter laugh, the cold wine spilling over his clothes, but failing to awaken him from his depression.

  Qing Yu stared at Xiong Ba with a complicated expression on his face.

  [How many days has it been…..]

  Ever since Jun Xie left, the entire Fiery Blaze Clan from top to bottom had seemingly fallen into great misfortune. From the disciples all the way up to Xiong Ba, they had all seemingly collapsed and fallen into ruin, unable to pick themselves up. The things that had happened in the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall that day, had been like a pair of blood stained hands, shredding apart the pride and fierce loyalty of the Fiery Blaze Clan, throwing them all into the deep abyss of having betrayed and abandoned an ally.

  “Qing Yu….. How many years have I been the Clan Chief of the Fiery Blaze Clan?” Xiong Ba asked, his head lowered, and he asked in a fuzzy voice as his forehead rested upon the edge of the wine jar.

  “I can’t remember clearly.” Qing Yu replied.

  “Ha….. I can’t remember either. All I remember is that our Old Chief, when he was dragged before the Grand Chieftain’s Residence by Qu Xin Rui, just before he was executed, he said….. Rather be broken than bent….. Our Old Chief had such strong backbone, and I am just trash instead. Now that the Thousand Beast City had fallen into such a state and I am still helpless to do anything about it. I can’t help the people, can’t help the Grand Chieftain, can’t save the Young Miss….. I am now so useless that I had not even been able to protect a single Spirit Beast! HAHAHA! WHAT A CLAN CHIEF! WHAT BULLSHIT! I AM JUST A SPINELESS PIECE OF TRASH! HAHAHA!….. AN INGRATE WHO”S JUST A SELF SERVING USELESS TRASH! COMPARED TO LIN QUE, HOW DIFFERENT AM I TO HIM! ?” Xiong ba suddenly sat up straight backed, his laughter so filled with despair and hopelessness.

  “We were the ones who invited Jun Xie to come. We were the ones who asked him to lend a hand against the predicament the Thousand Beast City was facing. And now? In order to save our own people, we had actually taken his Spirit Beast and sent it into the hands of that old hag! Qing Yu! In my chest….. I feel so infuriated….. it’s choking me….. choking me so bad…..” Xiong Ba lifted his head to look up, to stare up at the roof bathed in the candlelight, and two trails of hot tears, flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

  Qing Yu clenched his jaw tight, not daring to say a word, but just downed the wine in his cup silently, seeking to use the alcohol to dispel the guilt and shame that wrenched at his heart.

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1092: “The Despicable Got Their Way (1)”

  “If that old hag had not committed a deed so vile and demented….. I will not have let the Grand Chieftain do this….. I really won’t…..” Xiong Ba suddenly started weeping, the deep struggle within his heart and the guilt he felt towards Jun Xie that ate at him, made this almost eight foot towering giant crumble and falter.

  “Qing Yu, I really do not know what I should do….. I’ve watched the Young Miss grow up to become such a big girl….. the Grand Chieftain….. the Grand Chieftain was forced to witness her being brutally humiliated by those beasts….. I really….. really cannot bear it…..”

  No one knew what had really happened in Jun Xie’s room that day.

  Although Qu Wen Hao was the Grand Chieftain that Xiong Ba had sworn undying allegiance to, but in the face of that loyalty, Xiong Ba’s unbending character was such that he would not be able to submit himself to anyone.

  And when Qu Wen Hao had suddenly told them with his face in a deathly pallor, all that he had experienced, Xiong Ba’s heart was not able to remain as steadfastly resolute.

  Although Qu Wen Hao’s character wasn’t considered to be stalwart and unwavering, but he still held his own principles firmly. Even when his wife had been captured, and he had to submit himself under others, he still did everything he could to protect the people in the city. But the extent of Qu Xin Rui’s viciousness had exceeded anything all of them had expected.

  In this world, where would you find a Father who could bear to tolerate witnessing his own daughter being humiliated like that…..

  Xiong Ba did not dare imagine what Qu Wen Hao must have been forced to go through, just how horrifying and traumatic it could be to cause such a steadfast man to bend his back and submit, surrendering up his conscience.

  Qing Yu downed the wine one cup after another in quick succession, not saying even one word. The biting wine burned his throat as it went down, bringing about a throbbing pain, not enjoying the wine one bit, but more like a form of punishment.

  Self inflicted punishment.

  “Oh? Enjoying yourselves on such a great night, it just so happens that I am feeling really thirsty!” The clear voice of a youth rang out candidly within the room suddenly.

  Xiong Ba and Qing Yu turned their heads in confusion to look, and saw Qiao Chu leaping into the room through the window, with Hua Yao’s face appearing right behind him.

  “Hurry up, I am dying of thirst here.” Qiao Chu said with a guffaw as he walked over, while utter shock showed upon the faces of Xiong Ba and Qing Yu. They watched as Qiao Chu nonchalantly picked up a jar of wine from the side, to tear the seal open and tilting it back with his head to pour its contents into his mouth.

  Hua Yao walked over in an unhurried manner as his gaze swept over the faces of Xiong Ba and Qing Yu, but did not find anything suspicious.

  “That really hit the spot!” Qiao Chu exclaimed with a laugh as he wiped his mouth, looking at Xiong Ba and Qing Yu.

  “You don’t need to be so alarmed. We were afraid that the people of the city would discover us and that was why we sneaked ourselves in here.
We have really tired ourselves out really badly throughout this period. In order to tail those people, we have not been able to get any shuteye at all for the past few days, so you wouldn’t mind it if we grab a couple of sips of your wine, would you?” Qiao Chu teased, winking his eyes meaningfully at the completely stunned Xiong Ba.

  Xiong Ba’s mouth gaped open, and did not know what to say at that moment.

  Jun Xie had stationed Qiao Chu and her other companions outside the city previously in order to find out the location where Qu Xin Rui had imprisoned the people of the Thousand Beast City, and with Qiao Chu appearing here now, that would mean that they have already determined the exact location!

  “Your Fiery Blaze Clan Hall isn’t really that large a place, but why is it that after looking an entire round through the place, I still do not see Little Xie? Where have you guys hidden him? Have someone bring him here quickly as we have traveled both day and night just to bring the news here.” Qiao Chu said as he moistened his parched throat with another swig of the jar, a faint red flush creeping up onto his face, his eyes shining with anxiety and joyous delight.

  The words Little Xie struck at Xiong Ba’s mind like a mighty bolt and the tipsiness that filled him immediately dissipated without a trace at that instant, all colour quickly draining out from his face completely!

  Chapter 1093: “The Despicable Got Their Way (3)”

  Xiong Ba’s strange reaction was noticed by Hua Yao and Qiao Chu and Qiao Chu slowly retracted the wide smile on his face, as he asked cautiously.

  “What’s wrong….. Don’t tell me something has happened?”

  Xiong Ba clenched his fists up tight unable to look at Qiao Chu straight in his eye.

  Qing Yu’s lips trembled slightly and opened his mouth slightly. From Qiao Chu’s words earlier, it had held within them a message in no uncertain terms.

  They had already found the place their people had been imprisoned.

  Although Qiao Chu and Hua Yao were still highly energetic, but judging from their dust filled clothes and the mess their hair was in, it was not hard to see that they had not gotten any rest through the period. As they had just said, in order to track down the whereabouts of the imprisoned people of the Thousand Beast City, they really had not even been able to shut their eyes at all for the past few days and nights but they had still rushed all the way here to the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall in the first instance just to deliver the news into their hands…..

  Xiong Ba and Qing Yu could not even meet the eyes of Qiao Chu and Hua Yao as the clear eyes of the two youths would just reflect the deep shame the two men were feeling at that moment.

  “Can’t you just say something? What exactly happened?” Qiao Chu asked in confusion as he looked at Xiong Ba and Qing Yu who were avoiding his gaze and a sense of unease rose within his heart, the hand holding the wine jar slowly lowered.

  “Young Master Qiao….. We….. We have let all of you down…..” Qing Yu squeezed out those few words in a trembling voice, sounding like every single word took all his courage to say.

  The confusion in Qiao Chu’s eyes deepened and he was about to ask more about it when Hua Yao at his side suddenly raised a hand and stopped him from asking.

  “Little Xie is not at the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall?” Hua Yao asked, his eyes narrowing up. Xiong Ba and Qing Yu were reacting strangely and that had given rise to an uneasy guess to creep into his mind.

  Qing Yu nodded his head solemnly.

  “Where is Little Xie now?” Hua Yao asked in a chilling tone.

  “We….. We….. don’t know…..”

  “Why did he leave?” Hua Yao’s voice was turning icy.

  Qing Yu fell silent and hung his head, his hand holding the wine cup tightening its grip, and a clear crack sounded, a line suddenly appearing upon the wine cup in his hand…..

  “Brother Hua…..” Qiao Chu was feeling rather nervous as he stared at the side of Hua Yao’s face. The two of them have been close for many years and he could see the rage currently brewing deep within Hua Yao’s eyes.

  Qing Yue clenched his jaw tight and did not know what to say. While Xiong Ba, after a momentary struggle within his heart, finally spoke: “We’ve let down Young Master Jun. The Thousand Beast City owes him just too much….. Qu XIn Rui abducted our Young Miss and forced the Grand Chieftain to use the Spirit Taming Bone Flute to snatch Young Master Jun’s Spirit Beast away from him…..”

  *(A form of swearing) “Your uncle!” With a loud crash, Qiao Chu smashed the wine jar in his hand by Xiong Ba’s feet and his attractive countenance immediately twisted up with a surge of unbridled rage!

  The clear and crystalline wine exploded with the smashing of the wine jar, splashing all over Xiong Ba, but he did not react in the slightest.

  “It was you guys who had so persistently begged Little Xie to help you! In the end, without batting an eyelid, you have sold us out! What does this thing that happened in the Thousand Beast City have anything to do with all of us! ? Just because all of you are unable to save the person, what right do you have to make Little Xie sacrifice his own Spirit Beast! ! !” Qiao Chu shot forward to come before Xiong Ba and picked up the towering Xiong Ba in his hand, his face contorted with rage!

  “This is what you mean by cooperation? Selling out your ally without the slightest hesitation? If we had known that the Thousand Beast City was like this, we shouldn’t have agreed to come help you right from the beginning!”

  Volume 11

  Chapter 1094: “The Despicable Got Their Way (4)”

  Qiao Chu was exploding with rage. He never would have dreamed, that when they came here into the Thousand Beast City, what greeted them would be a result like this!

  “All this time we have been risking our lives out there for your people and you have proven yourselves to be so vicious! Because of your very own Young Miss and all of you forced Little Xie to give up his Spirit Beast? When we were spending sleepless night out there trying to resolve the Thousand Beast City’s crisis, what were all of you doing? This is the goddamned reward you are giving back to us! ?” Qiao Chu slammed his fist onto Xiong Ba’s face, a mighty big one, that made Xiong Ba immediately see stars!

  Although it was true they needed the human skin map, but if Xiong Ba and his group had not invited them here, they would still seek other avenues to get what they wanted in their hands and Xiong Ba wasn’t the only route they could take. They had chosen to trust Xiong Ba, but what had they gotten in return?

  When they had been outside toiling for the sake of the Thousand Beast City, these people from the Thousand Beast City had instead pushed Jun Wu Xie right into the fire!

  What kind of an ally was that! ?

  Qiao Chu’s heart was filled with regret. They shouldn’t have agreed to collaborate with the Thousand Beast City right from the start. With just Jun Wu Xie’s ploys, to get the human skin map, they wouldn’t have needed any outside help. They had done all this just because Xiong Ba and Qu Ling Yue had pleaded with them.

  Qiao Chu’s fist rained down upon Xiong Ba’s face but it did not reduce any of the rage he had pent up inside.

  That feeling of being betrayed was completely unacceptable.

  Xiong Ba did not resist in the slightest, but allowed Qiao Chu to give vent, and even when he was coughing out blood, he did not utter a single sound of complaint.

  Hua Yao suddenly pulled back on Qiao Chu next punch he was about to deliver and Qiao Chu’s fist froze in mid air, his entire body fully tensed up from the rage within.

  “Enough.” Hua Yao said.

  “Brother Hua, let go of me! I want to kill this treacherous betraying scoundrel!” Qiao Chu said through tightly clenched teeth.

  “I said it’s enough.” Hua Yao said coldly. “Finding Little Xie should be the key.”

  All the strength seeped out of Qiao Chu at that moment, as he tossed Xiong Ba to the side.

  Hua Yao chilling gaze fell upon the wretched looking Xiong Ba, and there wasn’t the slightest
trace of sympathy in those eyes.

  “From now onwards, whether the Thousand Beast City lives or dies, it does not concern us. Our cooperation is henceforth terminated.” Hua Yao said icily, immediately turning to walk out the doors.

  Qiao Chu glared at Xiong Ba and Qing Yu and quickly followed.

  Xiong Ba remained lying weakly upon the ground, the pain all over his body seemingly reminding him of his incompetence and shame.

  Hua Yao and Qiao Chu came out of the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, and they stood on the main street under the night sky. The street was cold and cheerless, the pale moonlight shone upon it, showing its emptiness.

  “Brother Hua, where….. could Little Xie have gone?” Qiao Chu was seemingly a little perplexed.

  “She would still be within city.” Hua Yao said with absolute certainty.

  The night air was cool, but Qiao Chu and Hua Yao could not calm their hearts. They had rushed all the way here but had been met with such a result, which wouldn’t be acceptable in anyone’s mind.

  Suddenly, a black shadow appeared right before the two youths. When the two torn and perplexed youths saw the face of the person, their eyes immediately lit up in joy.

  “Ye Sha!” Qiao Chu stared in surprise at Ye Sha who had appeared so suddenly in front of him.

  Ye Sha nodded slightly.

  “Did Little Xie ask you to come look for us? Where is she now?” Qiao Chu asked excitedly, as under the heavens, the only person besides Jun Wu Yao who was able to give orders to Ye Sha, would only be Jun Wu Xie!

  Ye Sha answered: “The Young Miss had ordered for me to wait for the two of you here. I will now bring you to go see her.”
