Faced with Jun Xie's rejection, Xiong Ba was not surprised. Their relationship with Jun Xie was not that close and they had merely cooperated for a short period of time. But the only person they could think of now, was Jun Xie!
"Jun Xie! Don't be in such a hurry to reject me. Listen to me first. I saw the map that you took from the Emperor's hands today. Is that map very important to you? " Qu Ling Yue was afterall still young and her personality was not as steady as Xiong Ba. Seeing Jun Xie reject her, she began to panic.
Hearing Qu Ling Yue mention the human skin map, Jun Xie's brows creased up slightly.
There were only eight pieces of the human skin map in total and they were related to the specific location of the Dark Emperor's tomb. Among the eight pieces of the human skin map, seven of them were in the hands of the Twelve Palaces and the Twelve Palaces' secret search for the Dark Emperor's tomb had been carried out in a highly secretive manner. No one would know what the purpose of the map was and hence, she had not mentioned it to anyone else in the palace hall.
But Qu Ling Yue seemed to have noticed something different about the map.
"Yes." Jun Xie said in a cold voice, her eyes as calm as still water, not stirring the slightest ripple as she stared at Qu Ling Yue and Xiong Ba with a chill in her eyes, a tinge of scrutiny.
Xiong Ba quickly noticed Jun Xie's wariness and he was deeply afraid that Jun Xie would misunderstand and he quickly said: "Young Master Jun, please do not take it to heart. Young Miss does not mean anything else but the reason why I invited you to the Thousand Beast City this time, is related to that map."
Jun Xie raised up an eyebrow.
"In fact, a copy of the same map exists in the Thousand Beast City as well." Xiong Ba suddenly said.
At that moment, Jun Xie's eyes could no longer maintain the calm from before. "The Thousand Beast City has it as well?"
Xiong Ba nodded.
"That map is in the hands of our Grand Chieftain and it is because of that map that our Thousand Beast City is now unable to even fend for ourselves." Xiong Ba said with a bitter smile on his face.
"Young Master Jun should know that the reason why the Thousand Beast City is able to attain the status it has today, besides the unique Spirit Taming Bone Flute, was due to another reason. Within the Thousand Beast City, there had once been two Purple Spirits. And after the two of them broke through to the Purple Spirit, they left the city. But just more than ten years ago, one of the Purple Spirit exponents suddenly returned to the Thousand Beast City, and brought with him a piece of human skin map. The Purple Spirit exponents requested the Grand Chieftain to borrow the power of the Thousand Beast City, to help her uncover the secret behind the map ….. Initially, the Grand Chieftain saw that the person was a senior of the Thousand Beast City, and he followed the person's words. But in every single search, the Thousand Beast City suffered heavy losses and it could be said that not a single person sent out, had returned alive. "
When Xiong Ba said that, he could not help but clench his jaw tightly, and his eyes flashed with a glint of hatred.
"The Grand Chieftain saw that our brothers in the city had suffered heavy casualties and he was unwilling to continue. But that Purple Spirit senior was not willing to let the matter rest and insisted that the Grand Chieftain continue. Although the Grand Chieftain's spirit powers were high, but he was still not a match for a Purple Spirit. Moreover, that person had brought along quite a number of mysterious people who possessed powers on par with her, which forced the Grand Chieftain to have no choice but to continue working for them. All these years, every time the Grand Chieftain sent people out, his heart was bleeding and we can't even remember how many of our brothers have died outside because of this."
"Young Master Jun's resourcefulness is unparalleled and you are highly interested in that piece of human skin map. I sincerely plead for Young Master Jun to resolve the crisis our Thousand Beast City is facing and after the matter is resolved, the Thousand Beast City will definitely present that piece of human skin map to you with both hands!" Xiong Ba suddenly stood up, and bowed solemnly at Jun Xie.
