“One of these days, they will leave the Lower Realm.” Jun Wu Xie said in a chilling voice. Although she never liked to poke her nose into other people’s affairs, but in this matter where they forcibly altered a human body, she found she hated it to a new extreme.
Conducting such an evil kind of experiments, that went against the very grain of nature, the natural evolution of man, should not even exist in this world!
“Wait till we have finished we need to do, and we’ll come here to the Lower Realm and do nothing but grab these scoundrels from the Twelve Palaces who come down here and bash them senseless. We’ll then see if they still dare to stir up any more trouble here in the Lower Realm at that time.” Qiao Chu said as he shook his fist in resentment.
“Dumb Qiao is right. In order to foil these plans of the Middle Realm, we need to hold absolute power over them. With the powers we possess right at this moment, if faced against the people of the Middle Realm, would only put us into a long bitter battle.” Fan Zhuo said. Although he highly abhorred the fact that such a utterly heartless method was being used on people, he knew he had to keep a clear mind to think things through, and not get riled up.
“At present, our most important mission is to locate the map within the Condor Country. From what I have observed before, every time the Condor Country’s Emperor comes out of the Imperial Palace to meet with the delegations from the other countries, a particular man is always with him. Although that man had always suppressed his spirit aura, but I could still feel it emanating out from his body, and know that he must be from the All Dragons Palace.” Rong Ruo said with a slight frown. Her Hell Butterflies had always highly sensitive in perceiving one’s powers.

Chapter 1221: “Big Brother (1)”
In a residential courtyard within the Condor Country, having just informed the Condor Country’s officials, the delegation from the Buckwheat Kingdom were settling themselves down within.
The little Emperor was accompanied by Grand Tutor He as he stepped off the horse carriage, looking around at the spacious courtyard. But in those eyes, there wasn’t the slightest bit of admiration but he was instead tugging at Grand Tutor He’s sleeve as he asked with his head looking up at the elderly man: “Grand Tutor, when will we be able to see the Condor Country’s Emperor?”
Grand Tutor He said: “They have already relayed the news back to the Condor Country’s Imperial Palace and the Condor Country’s Emperor will come out from the palace tomorrow, to hold a banquet for the rulers of the various countries. Your Majesty will then be able to see the Condor Country’s Emperor at that time.”
The little Emperor bit on his lip and nodded his head, but he did not smile.
“Is Your Majesty worried about something?” Grand Tutor He asked.
The little Emperor mulled on it a long moment before his gaze turned to look at the doorway. The Buckwheat Kingdom’s soldiers were moving the things down from the horse carriages into the courtyard. Several soldiers were at the last carriage removing the heavy chains from it and the little Emperor’s gaze staring right at that carriage singly.
After the chains were removed, two soldiers went into the carriage and carried out a young man from within.
The expression on that young man’s face was rather strange. His features were highly outstanding looking but his skin was showing a strange dark purplish hue. His eyes were lifeless as he allowed himself to be carried off the carriage, his face not showing the slightest expression.
The little Emperor’s heart felt like it had been stabbed. He said in a choked voice to Grand Tutor He: “Will the Condor Country’s Emperor really agree to it?”
Grand Tutor He sighed slightly, his heart unsure as well. But as he did not want to further burden the child who should have been able to remain an innocent and happy boy, he forced himself to put on a smile and said: “He will. The Buckwheat Kingdom has always been highly respectful to the Condor Country. He will surely agree.”
The little Emperor then lowered his head and bit upon his lips again.
Suddenly, the young man carried by the two soldiers let out a bestial roar, the deep purple hue skin bloating up in an instant, to turn a dark red shade. The seemingly frail body quickly swelled up with huge muscles and with a roar, he flung the two soldiers, sending them flying!
The two soldiers were tall and brawny figures themselves but they found themselves sailing through the air from being flung away, to crash heavily into a stone pillar at the side, to vomit out a mouthful of blood!
Grand Tutor He’s face changed drastically. The other soldiers of the Buckwheat Kingdom immediately grabbed the chains from the horse carriages, over twenty men in total, throwing the lengths of chains around that young man, the soldiers spread out in a circle around him. The oppressive pressure from the twenty over men caused the young man to pause slightly, but the roars continued to explode from his mouth. He was just like a cornered beast, his mouth opened in a snarl, and roaring incessantly, thick veins bulging under that dark red skin one by one.
The little Emperor stared blankly, completely stunned, at the young man who was roaring in rage. Two tiny streams of clear tears fell from his eyes, completely shrugging off Grand Tutor He’s tugs as the little Emperor opened his legs in a wide stride to rush to the young man’s side, grabbing at the young man’s constantly struggling hip.
“Royal Brother…… Royal Brother please don’t….. They are all the soldiers of our Buckwheat Kingdom….. They are all Royal Guards personally selected by you….. Please stop Royal Brother….. Do not hurt people anymore…..” The little Emperor’s desperate cries sounded within the courtyard outside, the faces of the soldiers pulling back tightly onto the chains filled with pain and sadness.
Who would have thought, that the young man who seemed to have completely lost his mind would be the previous reigning Emperor of the Buckwheat Kingdom, the elder brother of the current little Emperor…..
Volume 13
Chapter 1222: “Big Brother (2)”
It might be due to the little Emperor’s heartfelt cries that made the young man who had already lost his awareness recover that tiny sliver of self consciousness, or it might be that he was already tired from the struggling….. but the young man stopped his struggling, standing there unmoving in his spot, allowing the little Emperor’s flowing tears to soak into his clothes.
Grand Tutor He wiped away at his tears and went over to pull the little Emperor away from the young man.
But the little Emperor showed an unusual instance of stubbornness, tightening his grip on the young man and unwilling to let go, his face red from crying as he buried his head into the young man’s hip with choking cries, sobbing as he said:
“Royal Brother you promised Little Jue before, that you would bring Little Jue to see the sights, the magnificent mountains and wide rivers outside of the Buckwheat Kingdom. You promised to….. bring me to the Thousand Beast City as well….. Royal Brother….. you will definitely recover from this as you have never lied to me….. Little Jue will make sure you recover….. Definitely…..” The little Emperor cried till he was gasping for air. Nobody could understand the kind of despair he was feeling at that moment, a kind of despair that he wasn’t tasting for the first time.
Grand Tutor He wanted to say something, but his throat went dry, not knowing what he could say.
The little child’s soft cries were like a sharp blade, pierced into the hearts of every soldier of the Buckwheat Kingdom. They lowered their heads, unable to make themselves to continue to look upon their once brilliant ruler’s current state. They also could not bear to hear their little Emperor’s heart rending sobbing cries.
“Your Majesty….. Your Majesty….. We are in the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital here. If others were to see this, it might not be that appropriate. Let’s first….. first help the previous Emperor into the house.” Grand Tutor He fought hard to suppress the tearful voice threatening to erupt, and went forward to slowly pry the li
ttle Emperor’s arms from the young man’s body.
The little Emperor was unwilling to let go as he wailed, but he had no choice but to release his grip, and made himself stand there to watch his elder brother being led into the house by the soldiers.
Upon that handsome face, there no longer was that bright smile, no longer showed that familiar expression of indulgence he knew so well.
Every time there was thunder at night, the person that would secretly come running into his palace and coax him to sleep, asking him not to be afraid….. would never come back again…..
“Grand Tutor….. Big Brother will recover….. right?” The little Emperor asked, his tiny face streaked with tears, looking pleadingly at Grand Tutor He.
Grand Tutor He had no choice but to nod his head.
“Your Majesty, please do not cry. After the Condor Country’s Emperor agrees to treat the previous Emperor, your servant was then take you to go see Little One and Little Two alright? I have asked the Young Master before this and he said that he will be staying in the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital for awhile. We’ll just have to wait for some days to pass and your vassal will then bring Your Majesty to go find them alright?”
The little Emperor nodded still sniffling between sobs, the image of Jun Wu Xie’s two adorable beasts appearing within his mind.
Although the little Big Brother seemed cold and highly unapproachable, but whenever he went near to them, little Big Brother would very naturally put Little One and Little Two down, and let them play with him. Although those eyes were also cold, but the innocent child was able to feel that those eyes held no animosity against him.
The feeling of both desperate longing and utter despair for his Royal Brother had caused the little Emperor to shift and transfer those feelings, and these days, he had almost seen Jun Wu Xie as his own elder brother.
If his Royal Brother had still been perfectly fine, would he be just like little Big Brother? Bringing him to go see adorable Spirit Beasts, and stroke the fur of Spirit Beasts together with him?
The little Emperor’s emotions, gradually stabilized, and Grand Tutor He quickly sent him to his room to rest.
His eyes watching the little Emperor drift off into a deep sleep tired from crying earlier, Grand Tutor He finally got up and walked out of the room with a sigh, shutting the door tight behind him.
“Grand Tutor He.” The Commander of the Royal Guards greeted, as he came walking over with red rimmed eyes.
Grand Tutor He took one look at him and patted the man on the shoulder with a sigh.

Chapter 1223: “Buckwheat Kingdom”
“We’ve already brought the previous Emperor to have some rest.” The Commander said in a voice pretending to be calm, pushing down the sadness within his heart.
“That’s good.” Grand Tutor He said tiredly.
“Grand Tutor He….. Are you really confident, that the Condor Country will accede to our request?” The Commander asked rather worriedly.
Grand Tutor He’s face then broke into a bitter smile.
“I have no confidence. Not even ten percent. Our previous Emperor had turned to become like this, isn’t it all caused by the Condor Country? Those words I said earlier were merely to comfort His Majesty. Moreover….. with the previous Emperor in such a state, would he even be able to recover from it at all?”
The Commander lowered his head in silence. The truth was actually known by all of them, that Grand Tutor He’s words throughout the entire journey were just to comfort the little Emperor, and they were just that, mere words of comfort. They knew it clearly in their hearts, to have the Condor Country lend a hand to treat the previous Emperor would be words only a lunatic would believe, but just that they did not dare say it, and could not say it out loud, or the little Emperor would surely crumble and collapse.
“Then for His Majesty….. it might be difficult to tell him in the days to come…..” The Commander said after a long moment’s hesitation.
Grand Tutor He sighed once more and said highly resigned: “We’ll muddle through it somehow, dragging it out a single day would be another day gained. For the Condor Country to extend their invitation to the various rulers of all the different countries, I wonder what they have planned up their sleeves. We have to have our guard up and no matter what, we have to ensure His Majesty’s well being.”
The Commander nodded determinedly, but a trace of regret came onto his face.
“If it had not been to save us in the beginning, the previous Emperor would not have….. We were just useless, unable to protect the previous Emperor…..”
“That was the previous Emperor’s own choice. The previous Emperor used his life to save all of you and all the more the bunch of you should protect the little brother most precious to him now. Our Buckwheat Kingdom’s Imperial Family’s bloodline had withered to just one lone little sapling which is our current His Majesty, so no matter what happens, we cannot allow anything to happen to His Majesty.” Grand Tutor He said to the Commander.
“Rest assured Grand Tutor He! Even if it costs all of us our very lives, we will not allow anyone from the Condor Country to touch a single hair on His Majesty! There is just one point your subordinate does not understand.” The Commander said.
“What?”
“Since Grand Tutor He knows from the start that the Condor Country holds sinister intentions, then why….. must we accept their invitation to come here?”
Grand Tutor He gave a long helpless sigh before he said: Why not come? With the Buckwheat Kingdom’s tiny might, how are we going to stand against the Condor Country? If we do not come here in response, the Condor Country would have a legitimate excuse to raise their army against us. Do you think the Buckwheat Kingdom’s army would be able to hold them off? At that time, the kingdom would fall and our people would die…..”
It wasn’t that the Buckwheat Kingdom did not want to resist, but it was just that they had no way of doing that.
The Qi Kingdom had their Rui Lin Army, with another army several hundred thousand strong willing to risk their lives, but what did the Buckwheat Kingdom have? The entire Buckwheat Kingdom’s army from the top to the last man on the bottom, totaled up less than a hundred thousand. As the terrain was surrounded by mountains and had a lack of resources, their military budget within their kingdom would not be able to sustain a war. If an invasion really broke out, it would not even be three days before the Buckwheat Kingdom would definitely fall!
The tiny little kingdom that survived between the gaps, had no other choice, but to constantly be tolerant, and who would know of the hatred they hid deep within their hearts?
The Commander fell silent.
In the afternoon the next day, the Condor Country’s Emperor came out from the Imperial Palace and he invited all the other rulers within the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital to proceed to a particular courtyard for a little gathering.
The little Emperor was the youngest among them and Grand Tutor He had actually insisted to go with him but the Condor Country’s soldiers had been highly aggressive and were highly adamant against it, bringing with them the Imperial Edict from the Condor Country’s Emperor, that only the rulers of the respective countries were allowed to proceed on alone.
Grand Tutor He had resisted against it repeatedly but he was struck and wounded by the Condor Country’s soldiers. The Buckwheat Kingdom’s Royal Guards wanted to retaliate but were no match for the Condor Country’s overwhelming numbers and were overwhelmed. Left helpless and given no other choice, the little Emperor was brought away by the Condor Country’s soldiers and as he was taken away, the little Emperor kept turning his head back to look at them, not forgetting to try to reassure Grand Tutor He.
“Grand Tutor, when I see the Condor Country’s Emperor, I will tell him about what happened to my Royal Brother. Grand Tutor, be at ease and wait here for my return.”

hapter 1224: “Courtyard”
As the litt
le Emperor was led by the Condor Country’s soldiers, he put on a brave front, not revealing a single trace of the fear he felt inside. But he was just merely between eight to nine years old and this was his first time stepping out of the Buckwheat Kingdom, his first time being separated from Grand Tutor He and those soldiers he was familiar with while these soldiers of the Condor Country were all fierce and murderous looking, which made the little Emperor’s heart tremble involuntarily. However, he remembered that he was the Buckwheat Kingdom’s Emperor and he must not bring any disgrace to the Buckwheat Kingdom, so, he could only hide his trembling little hands within his sleeves, and try his best to exhibit the calm composure that was what a ruler needed to possess.
The Grand Tutor had said it before. He was the Buckwheat Kingdom’s Emperor, and no matter where he was, he must never bring shame to the Buckwheat Kingdom’s dignity.
After walking for a long while, the little Emperor finally came to a courtyard of the Condor Country’s. On the outside of the courtyard, a group of men dressed in lavish clothes with a crown upon their heads stood, having waited for a long while. The little Emperor remembered that Grand Tutor He had once told him, people who wore crowns on their heads were Emperors and he guessed in his heart that these men were all Emperors from different countries but he did not know why they were all standing here, like they were waiting for someone.
The little Emperor’s appearance attracted the attention of the other rulers and when they saw that he was so young that he would be around the same age as their grandchildren, they could not help but show faces tinged with traces of pity.
