Chapter 308: When the Tree Falls, the Monkeys Scatter; When the Person Leaves, the Tea Cools!
Jun Fengya’s expression changed constantly – first disbelief, then unwillingness, and finally a deep bitterness, a sense of hopelessness overwhelming her.
“Fourth Brother broke out of Linyuan City last night.”
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but be surprised as well. After all, just two days ago, when they checked the Dragon Seeking Disk, Jun Chengye was still in Linyuan City.
“What kind of sky-high price did he offer to make those Void Realm experts let him go?”
Although Jun Yutang and the others had lost their claim to the throne, the Void Realm experts who had supported them had no reason to stop Jun Chengye.
However, logically speaking, they wouldn’t let him go so easily. They would at least wait for Jun Fengya to arrive and then haggle over the price, trying to maximize their benefits.
But now, Jun Fengya was still on the way, and they had already allowed Jun Chengye to leave the city?
What about Jun Fengya’s Void Realm Aunt?
Jun Fengya shut her eyes in pain and said helplessly, “Fourth Brother has been hiding his cultivation. He broke through to the Void Realm last night!”
“What? Fourth Brother has become a Void Realm cultivator?”
Jun Yunshang exclaimed, covering her mouth with her little hand, her eyes wide open in disbelief.
Jun Fengya felt like she had fallen from heaven to hell, her voice heavy with despair.
“Fourth Brother suddenly began his breakout last night, and after leaving the city, he directly killed Ding Yi, the Ding family’s ancestor, and took his Honored Position.”
“He learned a move from Young Master Ye and crossed the tribulation when he broke out. No one could stop him, and no one dared to stop him.”
“By the time the heavenly tribulation ended, Fourth Brother had successfully advanced to the Void Realm and persuaded Jun Yutang’s father-in-law to stay out of it and watch from the sidelines.”
“My elder brother’s guest official, Luo Zhiyi, has sided with Fourth Brother. He and Ding Fuxia have joined forces to hunt down my aunt, and now they are heading straight for us.”
Jun Yunshang was stunned and asked in shock, “Then what about Fourth Brother?”
“Fourth Brother has already led his subordinates toward Junlin City. He should arrive tomorrow.”
Jun Fengya’s tone was filled with reluctance. After all, just last night, she still thought that she had a chance to fight Jun Chengye for the throne.
After all, she had absorbed Jun Zhen and the others’ forces and had Lin Fengmian helping her. She felt that she had the right to compete for the throne.
But who would have thought that Jun Chengye had been hiding his cultivation all this time? He wasn’t at the later stages of the Unity Realm, he was at the peak!
Once Jun Chengye broke through to the Void Realm, he turned Jun Zezhen’s Void Realm experts to his side and entered Junlin City first.
Undoubtedly, this was a blow to her.
Void Realm!
That level of cultivation made her feel utterly hopeless. She was only in the middle stage of the Unity Realm – what could she do to compete with him?
As long as her father wasn’t foolish, he would surely give the throne to the fourth brother.
Jun Chengye! A true heir to the throne!
The thought of how she had killed her elder brother only to bring about this result made her resentful.
If she had known about this earlier, she definitely wouldn’t have killed Jun Zezhen.
Lin Fengmian watched Jun Fengya’s fluctuating expression and couldn’t help but think about it.
Interesting…
Jun Chengye was indeed a ruthless person. He even killed his own grandfather in order to inherit the Honored Position.
After all, after Jun Fengya killed Jun Zezhen and forced Jun Yutang to back down, he could’ve directly competed for that expert’s support.
Even if he hadn’t killed Ding Yi, he could have relied on the help of two Void Realm experts to successfully enter Junlin City.
But he still chose the safest route – breaking through to the Void Realm himself and securing the throne.
It seemed that Jun Chengye must have been at the peak of the Unity Realm for a long time, and he and the Ding family had probably been preparing for this for quite some time.
Jun Chengye could have entered Junlin City directly from the beginning with overwhelming force.
But he didn’t. Instead, he pretended to be weak and purposely let everyone trap him in Linyuan City, watching the battle unfold from the sidelines.
Once Jun Fengya killed Jun Zezhen and the other princes and princesses were either dead or disabled, he would step in and break the stalemate.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but applaud. “Jun Chengye really played the game well with this move.”
“He not only secured the throne, but also wiped out his brothers and sisters without shedding a drop of blood.”
“What’s more, none of them were actually killed by him. He just watched the whole thing unfold.”
“Jun Chengye, huh? I’d really like to meet him.”
Jun Fengya’s expression darkened.
As the one being used and the last strong competitor left, she was now the main target.
Jun Chengye had also shown her enough respect by sending two Void Realm experts after her.
Even if her aunt Fan Qiongyin tried to block them, she could only stop one of them.
The remaining Void Realm expert would be more than enough to end her life countless times over.
Even if Jun Chengye didn’t kill her, he would make sure to eliminate every expert she had gathered with great effort.
As for why Jun Chengye didn’t block them at the gate of Linyuan City?
Naturally, it was because he could block them twice!
Even if the first encounter didn’t kill them, he could still pursue them relentlessly.
With the speed of a Void Realm expert, it wouldn’t matter if they lost track of them. They could just turn around and head back to Linyuan City, where they could block them again.
And if that didn’t work, there was always the road to Junlin City.
This long stretch of road would be more than enough for them to die ten or even twenty times.
Jun Fengya felt a deep sense of resentment. Her Fourth Brother truly had no intention of leaving her a way out.
Lin Fengmian looked at her with a smile. “Those two Void Realm experts should be heading straight for us.”
“If I were Jun Chengye, I’d give them the Dragon Seeking Disc. They’ll know our location by tomorrow at noon.”
“I wonder, Your Highness, what plan do you have to deal with them?”
Jun Fengya shook her head helplessly, her voice downcast. “What wisdom do you have, young master?”
“I don’t have any great ideas. But since I promised to protect you, I will keep my word.” Lin Fengmian smiled.
Looking at his calm demeanor, Jun Fengya felt relieved.
He hadn’t given up on her, and there was still hope.
The man before her was an invincible monster at his level, and once he entered the Void Realm, he would surely sweep up everything in his path.
“Please, young master, enter the Void Realm and slay the enemies!”
The others also spoke in unison, “Please, Young Master, enter the Void Realm and slay the enemies!”
Lin Fengmian waved his hand casually. “You will be disappointed. I’m not planning on entering the Void Realm just yet.”
The top-grade Void Breaking Pill hadn’t arrived yet, and unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to settle for less.
“Why not?” Jun Fengya asked worriedly.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I said I would protect you, and I will not go back on my word. But…”
Lin Fengmian looked at Jun Fengya’s subordinates and smiled. “I can protect you from Linyuan, but I can’t protect them.”
Jun Fengya pondered for a moment before giving a decisive order. “Everyone, disperse and meet me in Linyuan City!”
The others knew that the situation was dire. Two Void Realm experts were coming – they weren’t here to joke around.
They all bowed and said, “Understood, Your Highness. Take care!”
Jun Fengya, who was in a bad mood, waved her hand. “Go on, all of you.”
Watching her Unity Realm experts scatter, Jun Fengya couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.
The forces she had painstakingly gathered were now shattered with a mere gesture from her Fourth Brother.
Even though she had ordered them to meet her in Linyuan City, how many of them would actually dare to go?
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. When the person leaves, the tea cools.
