“I think it won’t be much longer, that the mightiest country in the Lower Realm, would soon become your Condor Country.”
When the Condor Country’s Emperor heard those words, he did not reveal the slightest bit of delight, but merely said passively: “That the Condor Country will be able to enjoy such an honour, is all due to us having Elder Huang point the way out for us. The Condor Country will henceforth, follow Elder Huang’s instructions, and all within the Condor Country will work towards helping Elder Huang unravel the secret behind that map as soon as possible.”
Elder Huang snorted and said: “At least you realized that. That offer of yours, this old man will just remember it for now.”
“To be able to be of service to Elder Huang, will be my honour!”
As the two of them were in conversation, a guard suddenly appeared outside the main hall, seeking an audience to make a report.
The Condor Country’s Emperor immediately went back to sit upon his throne, putting forth the authouritative front of an Emperor.
“Let him come in.”
The guard outside the main hall immediately came inside and knelt down to report: “Reporting to Your Majesty! The Emperor of the Fire Country sent an emissary here with some news.”
“What? The Fire Country?” The Condor Country’s Emperor’s eyes stared with surprise. If it was said that there was anything he had to fear under these Heavens, it would only be just the Fire Country alone!
The Fire Country was too much stronger than the Condor Country and for many years, they had always been a source of pressure for the Condor Country, holding them back from making any rash moves. And it was not too long ago, when the Condor Country had allied themselves with three other countries to invade into the Qi Kingdom. And just as the Qi Kingdom was about to be obliterated, the Fire Country’s army had suddenly swooped in to their rescue. They had not only saved the Qi Kingdom from their crisis, they had even annihilated the forces of the four country alliance within the Qi Kingdom’s soil, without a single survivor!
And when he heard the name, the Fire Country, the Condor Country’s Emperor could not help himself but his heart jumped!
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Elder Huang.
Elder Huang’s brows furrowed up slightly.
The Condor Country’s Emperor’s heart was feeling rather flustered, but when he saw that Elder Huang was here he began to feel a little more at ease. So what if it’s the Fire Country? No matter which country it was, the Condor Country now feared none of them!
“What news?”
“Today, the Fire Country’s Emperor will be visiting personally, to meet with Your Majesty.” The guard said.
“Alright, I’ve got it. You’re dismissed.” The Condor Country’s Emperor said, pretending to be calm and composed, but on the inside, the emotions that had just barely settled down suddenly became chaotic once again.
[The Fire Country had not only sent news, they even wanted to meet him?]
[And it’s happening today!]
[Doesn’t that also mean that the Fire Country’s Emperor had already quietly come into his Condor Country’s borders unnoticed? And he was currently not far from the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital? Or is he….. already here inside the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital? ?]
Having the ruler of another country, silently slipping within his country’s borders, caused the Condor Country’s Emperor to feel a chill run up his spine. The Condor Country and the Fire Country had just been engaged in war recently with the Condor Country’s army being annihilated. Even with the All Dragons Palace backing them up behind, the fear of the Fire Country that was deep rooted into his bones still made the Condor Country’s Emperor feel highly uneasy.
“Elder Huang….. This…..” The Condor Country’s Emperor looked pleadingly at Elder Huang.
Elder Huang instead replied: “First see what their reason for coming here is.”
The Condor Country’s Emperor nodded and said: “It isn’t that I am afraid of them. With Elder Huang here, so what if it’s the Fire Country?” Although that’s what his mouth said, his heart was still feeling rather panicky.

Chapter 1244: “I Am the Fire Country’s Emperor (1)”
The Fire Country’s Emperor’s visit, would more or less, bring a certain degree of pressure to the Condor Country’s Emperor. And it was not known how, that piece of news started to spread among the other rulers of the other various countries, which greatly stirred up their interest.
The Fire Country and the Condor Country, had just battled in war and that was a fact that was known to everyone. For the Fire Country’s Emperor to come here at this time, it surely wouldn’t be for a simple thing like just a casual chat.
At that time, having well suffered the oppression from the Condor Country, the rulers of the other countries began to anticipate the arrival of the Fire Country’s Emperor.
Just as the Condor Country’s Emperor was trying to guess when the delegation from the Fire Country was going to arrive, several figures suddenly appeared right before the main gates of the Condor Country’s Imperial Palace!
The several people were gorgeously dressed but did not look ostentatious. The elegance exuding from them made them feel refined and highly distinguished.
The group of people were led by a petite sized youth, his countenance delicate but he possessed an icy cold pair of eyes, the crown atop his head causing the passing citizens to stop and gawk.
In recent days, the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital had seen quite a number of rulers coming and the citizens of the Condor Country no longer found it strange and did not think too much into it.
The Condor Country’s Imperial Guards hurriedly sent the news inside the palace and the still unprepared Emperor of the Condor Country was stunned in shock.
“Here already? So fast! ?” From the time that the news of their coming reached him, it had not even been two hours yet and the people from the Fire Country have already arrived outside the palace gates!
“How many people came?” The Condor Country’s Emperor asked quickly.
“Eight.” The guard replied.
The Condor Country’s Emperor then blew out a breath in relief. Only eight people, so it didn’t look like the Fire Country was here to declare war upon them. Although he had privately prepared himself for it, but it wasn’t the best time to fight the Fire Country yet and it would not be good for him to make his move now.
“Invite them in.” Immediately after saying that, he got people to go invite Elder Huang who had just left that place not just a while ago. Facing the Fire Country himself still unnerved him a little.
Very soon, the Fire Country’s delegation were being led into the main hall and the Condor Country’s Emperor pretended to maintain a facade of calm as he sat upon the throne, his gaze staring fixedly upon the entrance into the main hall, when he suddenly saw delicate looking youth with a crown upon his head walking slowly to the middle of the hall.
Sweeping his gaze across, there were five other outstanding looking youths behind the first youth, and a tall towering man with a cold and hard countenance, while a haggard looking old man trailed behind them.
“May I know…..”
“You are the Condor Country’s Emperor?”
The Emperor of the Condor Country had not even managed to finish his question when the lead youth had lifted up his chin and through half narrowed eyes, he had spoken, completely cutting the Condor Country’s Emperor off mid sentence!
This was the first time the Condor Country’s Emperor encountered a person who dared to interrupt him and his face immediately darkened.
“I am, and you are?” He asked, looking at the delicate youth.
“You don’t know who I am? That’s interesting. Don’t tell me the Condor Country’s Emperor is already so old his eyesight is failing that he cannot even recognize the Emperor’s crown of the Fire Country? With such bad eyesight and still able to sit upon th
e ruler’s throne, the Condor Country must have a sore lack of talents.” Jun Wu Xie snorted with derision, her tone filled with contempt, not showing the slightest deference to the Emperor of the Condor Country.
Finding himself being completely snubbed twice by Jun Wu Xie, the Condor Country’s Emperor who had always been the lone supreme one suddenly found his face almost turning green. He had naturally recognized the Fire Country’s Emperor face. When the Fire Country went through a change of regime, he had already ordered people to have the new Emperor’s portrait painted. He had only said that earlier because he had thought that the youth was still very young and he had deliberately wanted to attempt to make a show of superiority from the start.
In the end, the attempt had not only failed miserably but he had been overwhelmed by the young youth!
Volume 13
Chapter 1245: “I Am the Fire Country’s Emperor (2)”
When had the Condor Country’s Emperor ever needed to suffer such cowardice? He noted this instance against Jun Xie silently in his heart and would wait till his grand army of Poison Men was formed up and he would tear the this Fire Country’s Emperor up into shreds!
The Fire Country’s Emperor was still young and the Condor Country’s Emperor naturally knew that. Faced against such a young and ignorant new ruler, the Condor Country’s Emperor thought that it would be a piece of cake for him. For one so young, even after having ascended into the throne, his confidence and demeanor would still be lacking. Hadn’t the two Emperors from the Buckwheat Kingdom been just like that? With a little bit of manipulation from him, they had both been easily deceived.
Assuming that the Fire Country’s Emperor was cut from the same cloth, he had not thought that the moment Jun Xie opened his mouth, he had delivered a slap right across his face, a slap that stunned the Condor Country’s Emperor for a good moment. He had always prided himself as being highly arrogant and domineering and had never thought that this youth from the Fire Country was even more overbearing and tyrannical than he was!
They were here standing right inside the Condor Country’s Imperial Palace and he could still be so impetuous!
“How could I not know that? A guest coming from afar, I was just jesting with the Fire Country’s His Majesty that’s all! Bring in the seats!” The Condor Country’s Emperor was forced to swallow the shameful humiliation as he put on a smile without meaning to and said.
The eunuchs quickly brought in the seats and without a word, Jun Wu Xie did not bother with any formalities and sat herself down immediately. She crossed her slender legs, and rested her chin upon her palm, her posture regal and dominating.
“A guest from afar? Are you telling me you have really gone dotty? When had my Fire Country ever had that kind of relations with your Condor Country? Do I need to remind you here, that your Condor Country’s army of a million strong had just been whipped and were completely annihilated by my Fire Country’s army? The winner reigns and losers get robbed, and you have the cheek to start joking with me? You’re not worthy of it!” Jun Wu Xie’s venomous tongue went on unchecked, her words piercing and she did not hold herself back in the slightest!
No matter how good natured the Condor Country’s Emperor could be, against Jun Wu Xie’s unbridled tongue lashing, he was really about to explode.
His face turned from green to white. He had seen arrogance and impunity, but never had he seen one arrogant and impetuous to such an extent!
[What has this young Emperor of the Fire Country come to his Condor Country for? Has he come here purely just to humiliate him! ?]
A corner of the Condor Country’s Emperor’s mouth began to twitch, his hands gripping very tightly upon the arms of his throne. If not for the might of the Fire Country’s army behind Jun Xie, he would have immediately pounced on the youth, and skinned that sharp tongued brat alive before swallowing him whole!
Watchin the Condor Country’s Emperor’s face turning an uglier and uglier shade, Qiao Chu who was standing behind Jun Wu Xie almost wanted to cheer and clap for Jun Wu Xie!
The little lass was usually quiet and rarely spoke much at all. It had never been thought that when she went full throttle, the effects would be so invigorating! Seeing that face on the Condor Country’s Emperor, it was thought that he would surely be driven to fall into a dead faint by Jun Wu Xie!
“For what reason does the Fire Country’s His Majesty make his words sound so bad? The Condor Country and the Fire Country has always shared cordial relations and the prior incident had only just been a misunderstanding. Since you have come to our Condor Country today, you are then deemed to be a guest of the Condor Country. For the two countries to share friendly relations, it will be the good fortune of the citizens and I would think that the Fire Country’s His Majesty will definitely spare a thought for his people, isn’t that right?” With pent up rage within that almost made him want to vomit out blood, the Condor Country’s Emperor instead could not allow himself to explode but to suppress the rage within his heart, and plaster a smile upon his face and use the safety of their citizens, in an attempt to tug at the youth’s heart and move him with reason.
However…..
Jun Wu Xie was not having any of that at all.
“Cordial? What qualifies the Condor Country to want to be cordial with my Fire Country? Would the defeated even have a place to speak at all? The citizens of my Fire Country had never feared nor backed off from battle and if somebody does not have the eyes to see that and come antagonize us, they will surely be more than glad to ship them all off to Hell.”
Volume 13
Chapter 1246: “I Am the Fire Country’s Emperor (3)”
“…..” the Condor Country’s Emperor almost vomited out blood.
[What was the Fire Country’s Emperor real purpose in coming? Does he even know how to converse properly! ?]
[Every sentence more prickly than the next, does he even realize on whose soil he is currently standing upon!]
Seeing that the Condor Country’s Emperor was already unable to suppress his rage any longer, Elder Huang was encouraged by the eunuchs to slowly walk into the main hall through the doors into the main hall.
“And this here is the Fire Country’s Emperor? Truly sharp tongued.” Elder Huang said with his hands behind his back, his Purple Spirit’s hearing allowing him to have heard the conversation within the hall before he got there. Due to Jun Wu Xie’s aggressive and demeaning words, his face was furrowed up in a frown, highly displeased.
[So what if he was the mightiest country’s Emperor?]
[Before the All Dragons Palace, that was just an ant afterall.]
Immediately upon seeing Elder Huang appear, the Condor Country’s Emperor was greatly relieved and his entire demeanor quickly strengthened. He sat himself up straight within his throne, looking completely not fearful of Jun Xie at all.
“Elder Huang is right. When I first heard that a new Emperor had ascended into the Fire Country’s throne, I had thought that it was good news. But never had I thought that the Fire Country’s throne would have fallen into the hands of such a youth with such a lack of social etiquette and grace. With such conduct, how could one like this be able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of an entire country! ?” With Elder Huang here to back him up, the Condor Country’s Emperor had nothing to fear and his face became one who was immensely pleased with himself.
Jun Wu Xie stared coldly at Elder Huang as he walked into the main hall, her eyes narrowing up.
The Poison Men and the Scarlet Blood were things originally from the Middle Realm but had been brought here into the Lower Realm to wreck disaster onto the people. From the way the Condor Country’s Emperor was reacting to this old man, Jun Wu Xie immediately became aware of his identity!
At the same time, Elder Huang was assessing Jun Wu Xie. Seeing that it was merely just a young and petite little youth, his face showed further disapproval.
“Elderly seniors are to be respected, or doesn’t this little brat understand tha
t?” Elder Huang stared at Jun Xie, saying in a lecturing tone.
Jun Wu Xie sneered.
“Where is the elderly senior? Before my eyes, I only see one that has been defeated by me, and another dirty old man whom I do not know from where he had sprouted out from. Which could claim to be an elderly senior to me?”
Jun Xie’s words greatly startled the Condor Country’s Emperor and he quickly turned to look at Elder Huang.
Ever since Elder Huang had come to the Condor Country, he had been accorded the highest respect and was treated as such. No one dared to say a word in disrespect of him and even the Emperor himself bowed his head and hung his ears before him. Jun Xie was the first person who dared to speak to him in just a manner!
Seeing Elder Huang’s face turning a dark shade, the Condor Country’s Emperor besides being startled, was secretly delighted.
Of all people for this young Emperor to antagonize, he had to choose to anger Elder Huang. It must be known that although Elder Huang intended to assist the Condor Country into unifying the entire lands under the Heavens, he still had not raised his hand before anyone’s eyes yet. With Jun Wu Xie’s insulting taunts, he had inadvertently slapped Elder Huang across the face. Even if not for the sake of the Condor Country, Elder Huang would never let him off!
Elder Huang narrowed his eyes and his vicious gaze locked upon the figure of Jun Xie. “Little brat, do you think by becoming the Fire Country’s Emperor, you can then do as you like? One who sees the sky from within a well, you really think no one will be able to touch you? [Translator Note from Cloud: Chinese idiom. You see only portion of the sky through the well’s opening and do not see the rest of the vastness.]
