"Young Master Jun's resourcefulness is unparalleled and he is highly interested in the human skin map. I implore Young Master Jun to resolve the crisis the Thousand Beast City is facing and after it is done, the Thousand Beast City will definitely present the map to you with both hands!" Xiong Ba suddenly stood up, and bowed solemnly at Jun Xie.
Jun Xie's eyes narrowed. Xiong Ba's words had surprised her. She had not thought that the Thousand Beast City would have a human skin map!
"Really?" Jun Xie asked.
"It's absolutely true! If I dare to deceive you in the slightest, I will be struck by lightning! " Xiong Ba pointed to the Heavens and swore. If Qu Ling Yue had not witnessed Jun Xie's resourcefulness with her own eyes and was convinced that Jun Xie would be the one to turn the Thousand Beast City around, Xiong Ba would not have dared to reveal the secrets of the Thousand Beast City.
For so many years, the Thousand Beast City had seemed to the eyes of others, but only the core members of the Thousand Beast City knew that the Thousand Beast City was now completely exhausted.
Every time he saw the Grand Chieftain vexed deep in the night, Xiong Ba's heart would feel like it was being stabbed by a knife, wishing that he could share the Grand Chieftain's burden.
Now, as long as there was a sliver of hope, they would give it a try!
Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes, pondering over Xiong Ba's words.
News about the human skin map was extremely rare. Out of the previous four maps, Fei Yan had only managed to find out the whereabouts of two of them after much effort. As for the other two, one of them was a pleasant surprise brought by Fan Zhuo and the other was coincidentally found by them. It could be said that the whereabouts of every single map was extremely difficult to find and Xiong Ba and his men had come knocking on their doors with news of the fifth map.
But the situation this time was different from before.
All the people who had been given the maps had guarded the maps in every way they could. But from Xiong Ba's words, it was not difficult for Jun Wu Xie to discern that the fifth human skin map had not brought the Thousand Beast City the slightest joy, but had brought more terror and death.
If given a choice, the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City would definitely not wish for such a bloodied map to be left within the Thousand Beast City. But the Purple Spirit who was once the Thousand Beast City's Grand Chieftain, was like a shackle that held the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City in a death grip, forcing him to obey orders.
But in all of this, Jun Wu Xie felt that something was not quite right. She raised her eyes to look at Xiong Ba and said: "Your Grand Chieftain, I don't think it was only because he feared the might of the Purple Spirit that he took orders from that person?"
Although the Purple Spirit was powerful, but the Thousand Beast City possessed the Spirit Taming Bone Flute that was used to control Spirit Beasts. If they really wanted to fight to the death, even if they used the Spirit Taming Bone Flute, they would still be able to make the other side suffer quite a lot of losses. But for so many years, the people of the Thousand Beast City had not shown any clear intention to resist. If it wasn't because they were too cowardly by nature, then it could only mean that they had something that that person could use against them.
Xiong Ba's voice was hoarse, and he looked rather embarrassed at that moment. Qu Ling Yue pursed her lips and looked at Xiong Ba's troubled face. She summoned up her courage and said to Jun Xie: "Because that Great Grandaunt still holds the lives of many people in her hands."
Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow.
"She captured my mother, and many of our kin and relatives from the Thousand Beast City. If we do not do as she says, she will kill all those people." Qu Ling Yue's eyes darkened. It wasn't that her father had never thought of resisting, but her mother and many of her uncles' wives and children were all in the Great Grandaunt's hands. Her father and many people from the Thousand Beast City had no choice but to submit to her, no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to do so.
