Chapter 233: Slaughtering the City
Behind Jun Jueli, a tall woman asked, “Your Highness, what should we do?”
If Lin Fengmian were here, he would recognize her as Ye Ling, the defector.
Unlike Lin Fengmian and his group, who were repeatedly delayed and had to eat, drink, and rest along the way, Ye Ling managed to arrive ahead of them.
Prince Jun Jueli smiled slightly, gently tapping the table with a smile on his face.
“Little Yunshang has always been the most compassionate. That boy has already experienced the slaughter of a city, with his parents and relatives brutally killed within its walls.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s lure them into a trap, allowing that arrogant boy to relive his nightmare. We’ll also bring back my Little Yunshang.”
A one-eyed giant standing behind him immediately showed a fierce gaze and grinned maliciously. “Your Highness, what do you mean?”
“Slaughter the city!”
Jun Jueli casually uttered these two words, as if he were talking about having a meal.
Ye Ling’s face changed slightly, and she said with some reluctance, “Your Highness, won’t this invite punishment?”
“Be fearless. In the struggle for succession, any means are permissible.”
Jun Jueli glanced playfully at the bustling crowd outside the window, his tone cold. “Besides, they are just a bunch of insignificant mortals like ants.”
The others didn’t seem to mind. The giant was especially excited, laughing out loud. “Finally, I can have some fun.”
A tall woman with a horse-like face said indifferently, “I hope this boy doesn’t get scared away, or it will be too boring.”
Jun Jueli smiled gently. “Qianqian, you don’t need to get involved. We’ll leave first to avoid scaring him off. We’ll leave it up to Dulong to deal with him.”
A seductive woman also flattered, “That’s right, Sister Qianqian. Why do you have to deal with a self-righteous boy like him?”
The towering one-eyed giant, Dulong, sneered. “Your Highness, leave it to me. I haven’t had a good kill in a long time.”
“Genius? I, Dulong, love killing geniuses the most!”
Other princes and princesses also noticed the situation and watched with interest.
In Chongming City, a woman in red soft armor leaned against a giant fiery beast, observing the two approaching light spots and smiled.
“Interesting, Fourteenth Brother, is your Dulong more formidable, or is my genius more talented?”
In a grand city near Junlin City, a refined young man gently waved a folding fan, his eyes thoughtful.
“If he passes this test, do whatever it takes to secure his loyalty, or kill him!”
“Yes, Fourth Highness!” the people behind him said in unison.
On a warship in another direction, a stocky middle-aged man at the bow laughed cruelly.
“Little Yunshang, let’s see if the genius you picked up can create another miracle.”
The same situation played out among the other princes. If Jun Yunshang and Lin Fengmian could pass this test, they would only face death.
After all, Lin Fengmian’s performance was too amazing. If even Unity Realm cultivators couldn’t stop him, Jun Yunshang would undoubtedly be the greatest dark horse.
Once this Ye Xuefeng reached the Unity Realm, or even the Void Realm, who could stop him from bringing Jun Yunshang to Junlin City?
Such a prodigy could only be won over or utterly destroyed!
However, they didn’t have high hopes for Lin Fengmian in this battle, after all, he was facing a realm above his own.
When one reaches the Unity Realm, there are not many weaklings left, and all the weaklings are eliminated.
In the major cities of Junyan, there were also similar large Dragon Seeking Discs in use.
By now, the struggle for succession was no longer a secret.
Countless people gathered around the Dragon Seeking Disk and cried out in shock when they all realized that the Sixteenth Princess and the Fourteenth Prince had collided.
“Heavens! They really have clashed! Place your bets! Place your bets!”
“I bet on the Fourteenth Prince, he’s strong and capable. How can he lose?”
“The difference between their realms is too great. If they were at the same level, it would be different, but this time, the kid is doomed to fail.”
“The Sixteenth Princess mustn’t come to any harm; she is the first beauty of Junyan!”
Lin Fengmian’s die-hard female fans immediately rebelled and loudly rebuked these people.
“You’re talking nonsense! Our Young Master Ye won’t lose, Young Master Ye is the strongest!”
“Right, Young Master Ye is invincible. No matter how strong the enemy is, he can defeat them with just one sword.”
…
Of course, Lin Fengmian knew that every move he made was being watched by the world, and this was exactly what he expected.
However, seeing Jun Yunshang’s anxiety, he suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Yunshang, theoretically, there should be over seven hundred Unity Realm cultivators in the Northern Abyss, and your Junyan should have around fifty to sixty Unity Realm cultivators, right?”
“Why does your Fourteenth Brother only have one Unity Realm cultivator under his command, and you don’t have any?”
Jun Yun Shang said awkwardly, “We are relatively young. Even Fourteenth Brother is only about a hundred years old, with a rather weak foundation, and not a popular candidate for the throne.”
“According to the Father Emperor’s rules, we are simply no match for the other imperial brothers and sisters, so naturally, not many are willing to bet on us.”
“Fourteenth Brother originally supported three Unity Realm cultivators, but the one who’s willing to bet on him and share in his prosperity is this one.”
Lin Fengmian suddenly understood. This was a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
Under the conditions set by the Heavenly Soaring Sword Saint, most of the Unity Realm cultivators cherished their feathers and were unwilling to participate.
After all, losing a bet was still better than losing one’s life under the overwhelming advantage of others.
Those who truly participated would bet on the popular candidates for the throne, not on those weak and young princes and princesses in their time of need.
This wasn’t snow in the middle of winter, but rather a quick self-immolation.
Betting on the popular candidates for the throne, even if it was just adding flowers to the brocade, was still better in terms of safety.
Thinking of this, he looked at Jun Yunshang sympathetically, causing her to feel quite uncomfortable.
“Yunshang, I never asked you before, how old are you?”
“I didn’t tell you!”
“Then you must be quite old, Grandmother.”
“Bastard, who did you call grandmother?” Jun Yunshang growled.
“Whoever doesn’t answer me, I’ll call them that.” Lin Fengmian smiled.
Half a day later, Lin Fengmian suddenly stopped in the middle of a mountain stream, his expression suddenly turning cold as ice, as if he was suppressing extreme anger.
“What’s wrong?” Jun Yunshang asked anxiously.
“Ten miles away, someone has set up an array around the city, and it seems like they are massacring the city.” Lin Fengmian said in a harsh voice.
“What? Then we must hurry to save the people?”
“The citizens of the city have already suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining Cultivator seems to be the only one left to finish the job, but this is probably a trap.” Lin Fengmian said with a heavy voice.
Jun Yunshang fell silent, but still couldn’t bear to say, “Are we just going to stand by and watch the remaining citizens of the city get slaughtered?”
“Aren’t you very capable? You must have a way to save them, right?”
Lin Fengmian’s powerful Divine Consciousness discovered that besides the trapping array, there were traces of other arrays in the city.
The Cultivator in the city was even more reckless, releasing their aura so that Lin Fengmian would not know that they were the only ones in the city.
