"Where did she take the people?" Jun Wu Xie asked.
Qu Ling Yue shook her head. "It's just that we don't know where she hid them, so Father couldn't rescue them. When Great Aunt saw that Father didn't want to continue, she secretly kidnapped them. To this day, no one knows where they are being held."
"Then how do you know that they are still alive?" Jun Wu Xie asked.
"Every month, the Great Grandaunt will release a batch of people back to the Thousand Beast City, to ensure the safety of their families. The number of people released every month is different and at the end of the month, they will be taken away again. If any of them dares to escape on their own, then she will punish those people who are still imprisoned and kill them." Every time Qu Ling Yue thought of the Great Aunt's viciousness, she would feel a chill run down her spine. Her father had not wanted to drag her into it and had sent her to the War Banner Academy. Although she rarely went back to the Thousand Beast City, but every time she did, she would see something that made her heart tremble.
"As a child, I am not able to share my parents' burdens, but only allowed them to be controlled by others. I am useless. I have worked so hard to raise my spirit powers, to snatch Mother and the others back ….. But ….. I am still too weak." Qu Ling Yue's voice began to choke up as she spoke.
Although she had become the War Banner Academy's champion in the Spirit Battle Tournament, it was just a drop in the bucket. Before the powerful Purple Spirit, she was nothing!
Jun Wu Xie looked quietly at Qu Ling Yue who was weeping. From Qu Ling Yue's sobs, she could feel the blame and unwillingness in her heart.
The kind of feeling where one's most important family was harmed and because one was too weak, one could only watch the tragedy unfold before one's eyes, unable to resist …..
Jun Wu Xie was not unfamiliar with that feeling.
When she had first arrived at the Lin Palace, she had felt the same way.
But she had been luckier, as she had only faced people from the Lower Realm, while Qu Ling Yue had faced people from the Middle Realm's Twelve Palaces!
The disparity between the Middle Realm and the Lower Realm was just too great, and it was not something that Qu Ling Yue could turn around.
Jun Wu Xie believed that the Great Aunt that Qu Ling Yue mentioned must have been the one who had been invited to the Middle Realm by one of the Twelve Palaces after she broke through to the Purple Spirit, and that human skin map must have been the intention of the Twelve Palaces.
However, just how cruel must one be to inflict such a plot and bloodshed on their own family members?
Jun Wu Xie could not help but frown as she subconsciously thought of the previous cage. That demon seemed to be very happy to do that.
"I can help you." Jun Wu Xie finally said.
The moment she spoke, Qu Ling Yue lifted her head in surprise. Her little face, which had been lit up with hope, was still wet with tears. However, her eyes were already bright and clear.
"Really? You're really willing to help me? "Qu Ling Yue asked excitedly as she grabbed Jun Xie's hand, her hands trembling from her nervousness.
She had run out of other ideas and Jun Xie's resourcefulness had allowed her to see a glimmer of hope.
Even without Qu Ling Yue's request, after Fei Yan found out that the Thousand Beast City had a map, they would still have gone there. And with Qu Ling Yue and Xiong Ba's help, she believed that it wouldn't be too difficult for them to get their hands on the fifth map.
"Thank you! Thank you! " Qu Ling Yue was so agitated that she started crying again. Xiong Ba stood at the side and patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, at the same time casting a grateful gaze at Jun Xie.
