Chapter 1002

• “But he is unwilling to cooperate with us now.” Qu Xin Rui said in a fluster as she bit on her nails. “Jun Xie isn’t Qu Wen Hao and the might of the Fire Country is highly powerful in the Lower Realm. I had heard that the Empress Dowager of the Fire Country holds a group of secret assassins and it seems that their powers are not too far off from the Purple Spirit. When Jun Xie ascended into the throne, the Empress Dowager had been highly supportive and if we are to try to control the Fire Country with the same method we use to control the Thousand Beast City, we stand to meet with failure. Jun Xie came from the Zephyr Academy and I have sent people to look into detailed information about her, but they had not been able to find out anything about her birth, which renders us unable to use her family members to hold her hostage. Even if we succeed in controlling Jun Xie, whether the Fire Country will be willing submit to us for their new little Emperor will be another question as the Fire Country still has an Empress Dowager holding the fort. If that old witch decides to abandon Jun Xie and push another Emperor onto the throne, then we’ll stand to gain nothing from it at all.”
• Qu Xin Rui was feeling highly frustrated as she was finding it rather hard to deal with Jun Xie’s refusal.
• Without a handhold to use as blackmail against him, they were unable to ascertain if they would be able to use Jun Xie to force the Fire Country to submit to them. It would not be that easy to take on the biggest country in the Lower Realm but at the same time, it was a big fatty piece of meat that they were reluctant to let go of.
