"But he is not willing to cooperate with me now." Qu Xin Rui bit her nails in frustration. "Jun Xie is not Qu Wen Hao. The Fire Country's might is too strong in the Lower Realm and I had once heard that the Empress Dowager of the Fire Country holds a number of spies in her hands and their powers would not be much weaker than the Purple Spirit. With Jun Xie ascending to the throne this time, with the Empress Dowager's full support, it would be impossible for us to control the Fire Country using the same method we used to control the Thousand Beast City. Jun Xie is from the Zephyr Academy and I have sent people to investigate into his background, but they did not manage to find out anything about his background. We are unable to use his family to threaten him. If we control him, it is still a question whether the Fire Country would submit to him as the Emperor. Afterall, the Fire Country still has the Empress Dowager holding the fort and if that old fart were to abandon Jun Xie and promote another prince to ascend the throne, we would lose more than we gain. "
Qu Xin Rui was feeling highly frustrated and Jun Xie's refusal made it difficult for her to make a move.
Without a bargaining chip to use as leverage, and unable to ascertain whether they would be able to use Jun Xie to force the Fire Country to submit, the mightiest country in the Lower Realm would not be easy to deal with. But at the same time, it was a juicy piece of meat that no one would be willing to give up.
Shen Chi fell deep into thought. How to force Jun Xie to submit, was the most pressing issue they had at the moment.
Suddenly, Qu Xin Rui seemed to have thought of something and she said: "Maybe Jun Xie does not have any weaknesses that we can exploit."
"Oh? Have you thought of something? " Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.
Qu Xin Rui's lips curled up in a smile, her eyes looking at Shen Chi alluringly as she said: "Didn't Lin Que say that my Devious Wyvern was devoured by Jun Xie's Spirit Beast?"
"To be able to devour the Devious Wyvern, it must be a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast. Are you thinking of making a move on that Spirit Beast?" Shen Chi asked.
Qu Xin Rui laughed out loud. "Why not? A Guardian Grade Spirit Beast is not something that just anyone can possess. Moreover, it was completely submissive. Even though Jun Xie was far away from the Fire Country, he had still kept that Spirit Beast by his side all this time. I can only imagine that the bond between him and that Spirit Beast must be very strong. To make a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast submit to him, it would be impossible to achieve without paying a corresponding price. I believe that although Jun Xie's personality is cold and distant, but he would still value that Guardian Grade Spirit Beast highly. Since I am unable to find his family, perhaps, that Guardian Grade Spirit Beast might be able to help me. "
Shen Chi's heart skipped a beat as he stared at Qu Xin Rui's cunning smile. It must be said that although Qu Xin Rui was a female, she was highly scheming and vicious. No one among them could compare to her. A person who had crawled his way up from the Lower Realm, to be able to rise to such a position in the Soul Return Palace, Qu Xin Rui's methods were definitely not something an ordinary person could compare to.
"That's a Lord Rank Spiritual Beast. Even if you and I join hands, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to take it down." Shen Chi said.
Qu Xin Rui raised an eyebrow at Shen Chi.
"Have you forgotten what this place is?"
Shen Chi was stunned a moment, and his face immediately broke into a smile of understanding.
"The Spirit Taming Bone Flute is in Qu Wen Hao's hands and besides the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, no one else is able to use it. Although Qu Wen Hao has been rather obedient all these years, but the grudge he holds against you is not small at all. The danger that comes with controlling a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast, I'm afraid he might not be willing to bear it. "
Qu Xin Rui said with a cold laugh. "For his daughter, he will do anything."
"You are really, cruel." Shen Chi laughed. To even use one's own blood kin, Qu Xin Rui was really vicious!
