Looking at the petite and delicate looking youth before her, the Empress Dowager's gaze fell upon the Ring of Imperial Fire on Jun Xie's hand.
"Who is Lei Qian to you?" Empress Dowager asked gently.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head.
The Empress Dowager said: "This ring, belonged to the first Emperor's elder brother, the Emperor of the Fire Country at that time, Lei Qian."
"Since you obtained this ring, it must be related to him. That's fine. The First Emperor's Edict is here. Since you are the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire, then from today onwards, you will be the Fire Country's Emperor. "
Jun Wu Xie was just about to say something.
The Empress Dowager continued, "I know that the emperor has done many wrong things, and it is reasonable for you to hate him. I don't ask for anything else from you, I just hope that you can spare his life. Don't worry, I will bring him into my palace and discipline him strictly. I won't let him cause any trouble for you."
The Empress Dowager had obeyed the First Emperor's decree but she could not bear to see her own grandson lose his life just like that. Moreover, she had been hiding with Wen Yu and Qu Ling Yue in a secret chamber at the back of the Great Hall so she had heard every single word that the Empress had said.
"Sure." Jun Wu Xie nodded. Killing someone was just too easy for her, but she did not intend to take the Emperor's life. Rather than slit his throat with a single slash, she would rather have him locked up within the Imperial Palace, to watch helplessly as the throne of the Emperor that he valued the most, fell into the hands of Lei Chen that he despised the most. That kind of torment and suffering, would be a hundred times more painful than killing him!
"However, I need him to hand over something first." Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes.
"What is it?" Empress Dowager asked.
"A human skin map." Jun Wu Xie replied.
Upon hearing Jun Xie's words, the Emperor who had been utterly disheartened suddenly trembled, and his eyes filled up with incredulity.
On the other hand, a strange glint flashed across Wen Yu's eyes.
"Human skin map?" The Empress Dowager clearly didn't understand this. She lowered her head and looked at the Emperor, "Do you have it? If you have it, hand it over. "
The Emperor shook his head vigorously. The fear on his face was even more intense than before.
"Imperial Grandmother … I can't … I can't hand over the map! Otherwise, my grandson will die! Those people will definitely take my life! "The emperor's voice was completely distorted.
"Those people?" The Empress Dowager still didn't understand.
The Emperor cried and said, "Does Imperial Grandmother still remember why the First Emperor's elder brother, Emperor Lei Qian, disappeared?"
The Empress Dowager then said: "Big Brother Lei Qian had suddenly wanted to bring people to a place outside of the Fire Country, but he had not mentioned to anyone where he was going. What is the connection between the two?"
The emperor said, "It's because of that human skin map! That was why Lei Qian went missing! That map was something your grandson found when I was tidying up my Father's belongings. But not long after your grandson found that map, several mysterious men suddenly came to me. They possessed extremely powerful powers, each of them possessing the powers of a Purple Spirit. They told your grandson that this map had been given to Lei Qian many years ago, and that it was not complete. They wanted Lei Qian to use the Fire Country's power to help them complete the map, and it was because Lei Qian had gone to search for the place marked on that map that he had ended up ….. "
The more the Emperor spoke, the more afraid he became. In this world, there were very few things that could make him, the ruler of the biggest country, feel fear. However, the strength of those men made the Emperor unable to even think of disobeying them!
