941 Tenth Slap 5 (1/2)
The Emperor's eyes flared wide open.
”What….. What are you doing! ?” The Emperor shouted in a panicked fluster.
Jun Wu Xie lifted an eyebrow and asked: ”What? Your Majesty doesn't recognize this ring?”
”What ring! I do not know anything about it!” The Emperor's heart was filled with terror, as he told himself again and again to remain calm in his heart.
[There was no way Jun Xie would know the secret behind the Ring of Imperial Fire!]
[Absolutely impossible!]
”The First Emperor of your line laid down a Decree, that whenever the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire shows up in the Fire Country, regardless of which generation of his descendants ruling at that time, must immediately abdicate the throne, and hand it to the possessor of the Ring of Imperial Fire. Doesn't Your Majesty remember this?” Jun Wu Xie's words, had crushed any last sliver of hope the Emperor still held in his heart.
He fell back defeatedly, slumped into the throne, all colour quickly draining out from his face.
”How did you know….. The Grand Adviser? It's the Grand Adviser who told you!” The Emperor's eyes turned red and bloodshot as he stared at Jun Xie.
But right at that moment, Lei Chen suddenly spoke up: ”It was me.”
The Emperor turned to stare at Lei Chen, as his face twisted up in disbelief.
”It was actually you…..”
Lei Chen fearlessly looked directly into the gaze of the Emperor who was staring at him like he wanted to eat Lei Chen up.
The Emperor then screamed: ”Few people under the Heavens are even able to recognize the Ring of Imperial Fire! Jun Xie! Don't think you can come snatch my entire empire with just one measly ring! The Fire Country is mine! The Emperor's! I am the Emperor of the Fire Country! So what if you hold the Ring of Imperial Fire! ? If you kill me, the entire Fire Country will do all it can to annihilate you! No one will know about the Ring of Imperial Fire! You will never be able to ascend to the Fire Country's throne! Impossible! You will never be able to!”
Jun Wu Xie snorted derisively and said: ”You think I care for it?”
