“I was really unaware of the fact that the Qi Kingdom was your ally and if I had known….. I wouldn’t never have the guts to dare to invade the Qi Kingdom….. I….. I can compensate the Qi Kingdom for all their losses! Whatever they want! I will pay the compensation now!” As he spoke, the Condor Country’s Emperor immediately searched for a brush, paper, and an ink slab with highly trembling hands and he began writing down whatever kind of compensation that came to mind onto the paper and got an eunuch to deliver the document right into Jun Xie’s hands.
Jun Wu Xie glanced perfunctorily at the document and a purple coloured spirit flame burst into life within Jun Wu Xie’s hand, turning the piece of paper that was filled with the terms of compensation into ash in an instant!
The Condor Country’s Emperor stared with wide disbelieving eyes. He had thought Jun Xie had relied solely upon the several unbelievably powerful Purple Spirits standing behind him but he would never have dreamt that Jun Xie himself could possibly possess powers of the Purple Spirit as well!
That moment, the Condor Country’s Emperor really cried tearlessly at that realization.
[Does the Fire Country’s Emperor need to really be so sadistically powerful! ?
“Inadequate.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed, as she stared piercingly at the fully terrified Condor Country’s Emperor.

Chapter 1251: “Compensation (2)”
The Condor Country’s Emperor shivered, crying in his heart as he had already written down every form of compensation he could even think of but Jun Xie was still not satisfied. “Then….. Then you tell me….. What would then be sufficient?”
Jun Wu Xie lifted a hand slightly. Fei Yan who was standing behind her stepped forward and pulled out a parchment which had already been prepared beforehand from within his clothes, which had the terms of compensation stated upon it to be handed to the Condor Country’s Emperor.
The Emperor of the Condor Country swept his gaze over the parchment and he received such a big shock he almost fell off from the throne.
His eyes were wide with disbelief as he stared at Jun Xie, the hand gripping the piece of parchment almost felt like it would break off.
“You….. You….. This has got to be a joke right?”
Jun Wu Xie gave a cold laugh and said: “Do you still think that you are worthy for me to joke with you?”
The Condor Country’s Emperor’s face turned deathly pale and he gulped loudly as his eyes filled with despair. “This….. Wouldn’t this be just too much….. This is as good as asking me to hand over half of the Condor Country’s empire in compensation! !”
Among the terms stated in the compensation asked for that Fei Yan had handed over, what shocked the Condor Country’s Emperor the most was the written clause on ceding out the Condor Country’s land. Jun Wu Xie had ceded out a good half of the Condor Country’s soil to be given to the Qi Kingdom as compensation to the Qi Kingdom.
The Condor Country’s vast lands that they controlled was only second to the Fire Country and in one broad stroke, half of it was to be surrendered just like that. If they were all given to the Qi Kingdom, the small little Qi Kingdom would be immediately elevated into the ranks among the mighty countries. Furthermore, the Condor Country’s Emperor didn’t know whether Jun Xie was doing it intentionally as all the cities named upon the parchment were several of the most prosperous places within the Condor Country where not only were they greatly blessed with natural resources, they were also some of their richest ones. If he was to really give them up, half of the Condor Country’s economy would be dragged into collapsing.
Added to that was the monetary compensation, which made the Condor Country’s Emperor really feel like dying as he looked at them!
[This was not just merely ceding land in compensation!]
[It is as good as asking him to hand over the entire Condor Country on a silver platter over to the Qi Kingdom!]
This compensation agreement, the Condor Country’s Emperor would never agree to sign it even if he was to be beaten to death!
“Too much?” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes immediately turned exceptionally frosty.
“How many lives from the hundreds of thousand of the Qi Kingdom’s soldiers who fell in the battlefield would that little bit of compensation buy? Would it be able to reclaim back the lives of all the innocent citizens who burned within the flames of war you ignited? Would it be sufficient for all the countless people suddenly uprooted and torn from their homes to wander hopelessly in despair? If you are not willing, I will not coerce you. You will then only need to return all the people who lost their lives to the fiery flames of war you lit, every single one of them, reinstate the destroyed and ruined cities exactly to the way it was before, and you can disagree to the terms stated herein.” Jun Wu Xie said in a tone that had turned extraordinarily chilling.
She firmly believed, that the entire Qi Kingdom, would rather not want all these lands and riches, and would rather have their family members return back safely.
The Condor Country’s Emperor felt as if something had lodged at the base of his throat, unable to speak. The cities could be rebuilt, but all those lives lost, how could he possibly return them back to life?
Jun Xie had obviously only offered him two equally damning options with no way out!
One was compensation that was impossible for him to accept, the other was a choice that he was helpless to fulfill…..
“Isn’t there a third option?” The Condor Country’s Emperor was still unwilling to give up. He did not understand why Jun Xie would take so much effort to help the Qi Kingdom and what the young Emperor was truly after.
Jun Wu Xie replied with a highly chilling smile: “There is.”
The Condor Country’s Emperor’s eyes lit up and he immediately raised his head, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Jun Xie.
“The Fire Country immediately invades the Condor Country and the name Condor disappears from the face of these lands thereafter.”
Jun Wu Xie’s words completely severed any sliver of hope the Condor Country’s Emperor might have held in his heart…..
He hung his head as he stared at the parchment filled with the terms for compensation, his entire body shaking, his tensed and stiff lips turning a pale green.
Having witnessed the overwhelming power of the group of people standing behind Jun Xie, and after the Condor Country had lost a million men in their army from the war, how could they possibly hope to stand a chance against the Fire Country’s armoured cavalry? The difference in might between the two countries was now such a wide yawning chasm it gave him no choice! Absolutely no other choice!
“I agree…..”
Volume 13
Chapter 1252: “Compensation (3)”
The Condor Country’s Emperor found himself deeply immersed in despair and he had no choice but to pick the only way out given to him. Giving up half the empire to the Qi Kingdom, at least the Condor Country would still remain in existence.
With trembling hands, he drafted the Imperial Edict, every brush stroke cutting off a piece of flesh from his heart.
He had always used the strong might of the Condor Country, to wilfully intimidate and oppress the smaller countries, never once thinking that retribution might fall upon him one day, giving a good taste of his very own medicine.
When it came to a country’s oppressive might, how could the Condor Country hope to compare itself with the Fire Country?
Just at the moment when the Condor Country’s Emperor was about to affix his Imperial Seal upon the Imperial Edict, Jun Wu Xie suddenly said: “Wait.”
The Condor Country’s Emperor raised his head, his eyes ablaze with a glimmer of hope.
However, Jun Xie’s words that came after made the Condor Country’s Emperor sink further straight down into the abysmal pits of despair!
“The debt owed, still has things outstanding.” Jun Wu Xie said with her eyes narrowing further.
“What….. does tha
t mean?” The Condor Country’s Emperor’s heart sank.
“Is….. Is this still not enough? I am already giving half of the Condor Country’s empire to the Qi Kingdom as compensation, shouldn’t that be more than enough?” Cowering from fear and filled with despair, the Condor Country’s Emperor almost shouted but asked instead in a low voice.
Jun Wu Xie smiled chillingly and said: “The debt to the Qi Kingdom is settled. Next, it’s the Buckwheat Kingdom’s turn.”
“What! ?” The Condor Country’s Emperor’s eyes flared wide, in utter disbelief from what he had just heard.
[The Buckwheat Kingdom?]
[What does the Buckwheat Kingdom have anything to do with this now! ?]
Jun Wu Xie waved her hand lazily and the old man who had been standing quietly behind all this while without making a single sound slowly walked out into the middle of the main hall.
“Tell the Emperor of the Condor Country everything you want to say.” Jun Wu Xie said.
The old man slowly raised up his head, and the pair of eyes that were turned towards the Condor Country’s Emperor looked like they had been deeply immersed in venomous hatred for a long time, the gaze thrown forward feeling like the old man wanted nothing more than to tear into the man seated upon the throne, ripping him into shreds with a thousand cuts.
“You, still remember who I am?” The old man’s voice was suppressed, as it rang out within the main hall.
The Condor Country’s Emperor stared, his eyes measuring the old man before him, his mind struggling to recall any memory he had of the other party, but to no avail.
“Who….. Who are you? I have not seen you before…..”
After the old man heard that, he suddenly threw his head back to laugh hysterically, that laughter filled with endless sorrow.
“That’s right. You are the high and mighty His Majesty of the Condor Country, so how could you possibly remember a lowly vassal from a tiny sleepy kingdom far at the edge of your border? For you to not remember this face of mine, I am not surprised, but for the rest of my life, I will never forget your looks!” The old man’s laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes narrowed as he gritted his teeth tightly to spit out these words.
“That year, you had personally led your soldiers into the lands of our Buckwheat Kingdom. With your overwhelming numbers, you turned the Buckwheat Kingdom’s Emperor into something that was neither man nor ghost! I will never forget this hateful and repulsive face of yours! It does not matter if you do not remember me, I can tell it to you now! I am the Grand Tutor of the Buckwheat Kingdom! The very same Buckwheat Kingdom that had two consecutive reigns of our Emperors turned into something neither man nor ghost by you!” Grand Tutor He roared out, like a demon awashed with hatred and vengeance, his eyes red and bloodshot, as they stared unwaveringly at the pale faced Condor Country’s Emperor.
“The Buckwheat Kingdom is aware that they are a small and weak country with a small population and they had never dared to fight or tussle with other countries for anything, where we gave up anything and everything the Condor Country wanted. But you still had not been willing to spare us despite all that! After you turned our previous Emperor into a monster that was neither man nor ghost, you went on to transform our His Majesty into a mindless child! And all our Imperial Guards were killed here right in the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital as well! These continually mounting blood debts, were all run up by you alone! Return to us the life of our previous Emperor! Return to us our His Majesty! Return to us the many lives of the good men from our Buckwheat Country! ! !” Grand Tutor He was shouting at the Condor Country’s Emperor almost like a maniac. The many years of suppressed hatred that had been overflowing enough to reach the heavens, but because their country had been too small he had held it in and not dared to let it erupt. That had all finally been given the opportunity to burst forth in an unbridled explosion in vent!
Volume 13
Chapter 1253: “Compensation (4)”
It wasn’t that the Buckwheat Kingdom in the past, held no hatred or resentment, but they could not afford to hate nor were they in a position to resent as they did not even have the power to protect themselves. They feared that the slightest affront towards the Condor Country would immediately give them a valid reason to mobilize their army to invade the Buckwheat Kingdom.
The weak and helpless Buckwheat Kingdom would not stand a chance against the Condor Country’s army.
The slightest mistake, could very well bring upon them the calamity of obliteration.
So the only they could do was to bear with it, tolerating them one time after another, enduring it till their clenched jaws hurt and they abandoned their pride. The deep hatred they kept suppressed within their souls, had had no place for them to vent.
And today, Jun Wu Xie had finally given them one such opportunity.
With the Fire Country backing him up, Grand Tutor He could finally stand up straight and demand payback for the debts of blood owed to all of them!
The Condor Country’s Emperor had never thought that the old man that followed Jun Xie in here would turn out to be the Grand Tutor of the Buckwheat Kingdom!
A country even smaller than the Qi Kingdom, a place that almost did not contain any presence at all.
“Your Majesty from the Fire Country! This old man is just spouting nonsense! That is just pure venomous slander! I had never ever committed such deeds and that is just malicious defamation!” No matter where this old man came from, the Condor Country’s Emperor was not going to admit all of the accusations.
In the incident with the Qi Kingdom, the Fire Country had been involved and there was no way he could deny it. But in the matter with the Buckwheat Kingdom, he had been carefully secretive with what he did and there was no way Jun Xie could possibly know about it, so he was definitely not going to admit to anything here!
“Slander! ? Our previous Emperor’s lifeless body is still in that courtyard of yours! And our His Majesty is now within the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital! Those Imperial Guards of ours who had died so tragically lies within the lands of the Condor Country’s Imperial Capital as well! Will I still need to defame you for all this! ? The blood of the countless number of people that have stained your hands, and the innumerable people your venomous mind had harmed! You will never be able to wash those sins off your entire life!” Grand Tutor He roared in fiery rage. He had never seen such a shameless person with such a viciously venomous heart, completely devoid of humanity, a complete demon!
“Pure gibberish! All those….. All those deeds were not done by me! It was the Buckwheat Kingdom who had impure intentions and the Buckwheat Kingdom’s Imperial Guards had suddenly attack the Condor Country’s soldiers before my Imperial Guards retaliated against them! And as for your His Majesty and whatever previous Emperor….. I have never met them before…..” The Condor Country’s Emperor got into a heated argument with Grand Tutor He in the main hall. One time’s compensation had already caused him to lose half of the Condor Country’s empire and if Jun Xie went on further to use the matter with the Buckwheat Kingdom to slice his heart another time, he would definitely be unable to withstand that!
[He must not admit anything! Never admit to a single thing!]
[In any case, the Buckwheat Kingdom’s little Emperor had already been abducted and that meant that there was no one to contradict him. The Condor Country’s Emperor was at that moment feeling mighty glad that the people who had barged into the courtyard and taken the little Emperor away were not in his hands, and he could fully deny everything. Moreover the little Emperor was afflicted with Scarlet Blood and he should be dead by now. Even if they found him, he would not have died within his courtyard and Jun Xie would not be able to pin this crime upon his head!]
[As long as he doesn’t admit, it will be fine!]
The Condor Country’s Emperor persisted with his proclamation of innocence and refused to admit anything. His scoundrelly actions caused the rage within Grand Tutor He’s chest to burn,
where he almost leapt up to the throne, wanting to strangle the Condor Country’s Emperor to death on the spot!
After committing such dastardly deeds, he did not even have the courage to admit it!
Fei Yan was quick to react as he rushed forward to stop Grand Tutor He who was overcome with rage. The Grand Tutor already had tears streaming down his wizened face, sobbing in a sorrowful wail.
“The Heavens must have gone blind!”
[Although their Buckwheat Kingdom was tiny, but all the way from the rulers and officials at the top to the citizenry at the bottom of the Buckwheat Kingdom, everyone was a human very much still alive!]
[Why, were the Heavens treating them like this! ?]
[Why! ?]
“Your Majesty from the Fire Country, this man has lost his mind! The words of a raving lunatic must not be believed!” The Condor Country’s Emperor went on to say loudly, cold sweat streaming down his back, as he stared frantically at Jun Xie.

Chapter 1254: “Compensation (5)”
“Your Majesty from the Fire Country, this man has lost his mind! The words of a raving lunatic must not be believed!” The Condor Country’s Emperor went on to say loudly, cold sweat streaming down his back, as he stared frantically at Jun Xie.
Jun Wu Xie looked at the highly flustered and panicked Condor Country’s Emperor as Fei Yan continued to placate Grand Tutor He. She took out an elixir to stabilize Grand Tutor He’s emotions before she slowly turned back to the Condor Country’s Emperor to say: “Not to be believed?”
The Condor Country’s Emperor then said in a challenging tone: “You can very well go to the courtyard to and check. There isn’t any Emperor of the Buckwheat Kingdom in there! The Buckwheat Kingdom’s Emperor did indeed come to the Condor Country before but he disappeared without a trace thereafter. As to where he really went, how could I possibly know it? This man is obviously a lunatic. Having lost his own Emperor he is thinking to pin it all upon my head!”
