Jun Wu Xie sat at a window seat on the second level of the Immortals' Loft, watching the crowds of people passing by below the Immortals' Loft. When Lei Fan looked at her, she only looked back at him calmly, like all of this had nothing to do with her.
Good and evil will always be repaid.
If the Heavens did not mete out retribution, then she would not mind using her own hands to do it for them!
Lei Fan was dead. Before the gates of the Imperial Capital, he was beheaded together with the Empress and the Prime Minister. After their heads were chopped off, they were hung high above the city gates. The Empress Dowager had personally decreed that the bodies of the three men were to be thrown into a mass grave, and no one was to collect their bodies. Their heads were to be hung above the city gates for ten years, to be exposed to the elements, to suffer the punishment meted out by the Heavens.
Although the Empress Dowager did not care about politics, but she hated the actions of the three men to the bone.
When night fell, the people in the Imperial Capital found it hard to sleep. Too many things had happened that day and every single one of them had caused them to tremble in fear. They did not know who the future Emperor of the Fire Country would be and they could only wait in silence.
Early the next morning, the Empress Dowager ordered people to deliver the coronation decree along with the dragon robe to the Immortals' Loft, and announced the first Emperor's decree to the public, informing all the people of the Fire Country that the abdication of the Emperor was to fulfil the last wishes of the first Emperor.
To return the throne of the Fire Country back to its original owner.
When the Imperial Guards escorted Lei Chen to the Immortals' Loft with the Imperial Jade Seal, the dragon robe and the coronation decree, the outside of the Immortals' Loft was already filled with many citizens.
From the first Emperor's decree, they knew that the Fire Country's Emperor would be assumed by the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire, and the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire had greatly surprised them.
It was the very same Jun Wu Xie whose name had "spread" throughout the Imperial Capital during the Spirit Battle Tournament!
Towards this result, the citizens were filled with curiosity and they all came to watch.
However, when Lei Chen and the Imperial Guards stood outside the Immortals' Loft and Lei Chen personally read out Jun Wu Xie's coronation decree, there was no movement from within the Immortals' Loft.
Lei Chen could not help but feel a little anxious. He was afraid that Jun Xie would not be willing to be the Emperor and he had come up with such a method with the Empress Dowager last night. While Jun Xie was still in the Imperial Capital City, they would announce the Imperial Edict. As the Emperor, Jun Xie would have to be the one, whether or not he wanted to be the one.
But after waiting for a long while, Lei Chen still did not see any sign of Jun Xie.
After he had read the decree three times, the manager of the Immortals' Loft stumbled out of the restaurant and knelt down in front of Lei Chen, saying, "Your Highness! The new Empress … the new Empress left with her companions a long time ago! "
Lei Chen suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air and widened his eyes, unable to believe his own ears.
Jun Wu Xie … just ran away like that?!
"Your Highness! Your Highness, what happened to you? Someone come quickly! His Highness has fainted! "
…
Just as the Imperial Capital had descended into chaos, Jun Xie and the others had already climbed into the horse carriages, following Qu Ling Yue and the others on the road towards the Thousand Beast City.
Seated within the horse carriages, Jun Xie could no longer see a trace of the Fire Country's Imperial Capital.
Not knowing that he had been forced to do something beyond his abilities, to become the new Emperor of the Fire Country, Jun Xie would never have thought that the revered position of the Fire Country's Emperor was already intimately connected to him. And one day in the future, he would lead the Fire Country's army, to trample over every inch of the Lower Realm, and light the fires of war everywhere!
