Chapter 237: Purifying the Bloodline
Jun Yunshang’s face was pale, and her whole body trembled as she looked at Lin Fengmian nervously.
However, since Lin Fengmian was facing away from her, she couldn’t see his expression, only his proud and solitary back.
“Young Master Ye, I… I…”
Jun Yunshang wanted to plead her case, but she didn’t know what to say, for it was the truth.
She was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes. Looking at the silent Lin Fengmian, her gaze dimmed.
Seeing the expressionless Lin Fengmian and the disheartened Jun Yunshang, Jun Jueli couldn’t help but laugh with satisfaction.
“Ye Xuefeng, you never expected this, did you? You’ve been following your greatest enemy all along, protecting her and spending your days and nights with her!”
“But perhaps you should thank her. If not for her, you might still be that lowly ant.”
“I, the prince, always appreciate talent. I’ll give you one more chance. Serve me from now on and I’ll forgive your past.”
Lin Fengmian looked at him blankly and asked coolly, “Are you done talking?”
He knew about the incident where the people of Kang City died because of Jun Yunshang. After all, he wasn’t the real Ye Xuefeng, so he pretended not to know when Jun Yunshang didn’t mention it.
Now that this guy had exposed it, he was a bit annoyed. He couldn’t pretend not to know anymore.
Jun Jueli frowned and said, “Are you still willing to risk your life for her? Do you think you’re doing right for the people of Kang City who died so tragically?”
Lin Fengmian remained expressionless and replied, “Prince, did you forget to mention something? The people of Kang City were killed by the men you sent, right?”
“You are the root of all evil. If anyone is to be killed, it should be you first!”
Jun Jueli looked at Lin Fengmian in shock, his face darkening as he admitted, “You are indeed clever. Yes, it was me!”
Lin Fengmian raised his sword and pointed it at him, asking, “Have you thought about how you will die for the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people in Kang City?”
Jun Jueli sneered, “You really don’t know your place, daring to speak to me so insolently.”
“Kneel down and slap yourself, and I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise, you will die today.”
As the king of posturing, Lin Fengmian couldn’t let anyone outdo him. He replied, “I always like to treat others the way they treat me. The so-called Dulong has already experienced this.”
He smiled, “Ladies and gentlemen, speak up. How do you wish to die? I’ll grant your wish, or I’ll choose for you!”
Jun Jueli shook his head in disappointment, “What a shame, a truly reckless fellow.”
Lin Fengmian also shook his head and laughed bitterly, “Is this ugly woman your only support?”
“A noble prince like you, the Fourteenth Prince of Junyan, actually has to sell your charm to satisfy such an old woman in order to protect yourself. How pitiful!”
Jun Jueli’s face turned terribly dark, and he coldly said, “Boy, what are you babbling about?”
Aiming to strike at his heart, Lin Fengmian said, “Do you love her? You’re just using her and will discard her when you’re done with her. That’s not right of you.”
Hearing this, the woman’s face changed and she turned sharply to look at Jun Jueli, her gaze intense.
Trying to maintain his composure despite feeling nauseous, Jun Jueli said, “Qianqian, don’t listen to his nonsense. I really love you!”
“Why don’t you take an oath?” Lin Fengmian, eager to cause trouble, suggested.
Jun Jueli was on the verge of cursing. Seeing the woman’s suspicious gaze, he had to grit his teeth and take an oath.
At that moment, his gaze towards Lin Fengmian became chilling, and he no longer considered offering any amnesty. He just wanted to kill him.
He looked at the woman with a gentle smile and said, “Qianqian, I’ll leave him to you. Remember, he needs to be alive.”
The horse-faced woman nodded and forced a terrifying smile, “Alright, I’ll beat his mouth to a pulp, break his limbs, and then hand him over to you.”
The alluring woman quickly reminded her, “Sister Qian, dig out his eyes for me. He keeps looking at me, it’s so annoying.”
“Right, hit him with that axe too, it scared me!”
The horse-faced woman nodded and said in a sinister tone, “This boy is indeed annoying.”
Jun Jueli hurriedly said, “Remember to keep him alive!”
He needed to flay Lin Fengmian’s skin and strip his bones to vent his anger!
The horse-faced woman nodded, “All right, don’t worry.”
Just as she was about to make her move, Lin Fengmian quickly raised his hand to stop her, “Wait!”
The horse-faced woman coldly snorted, “Now you know regret?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head, “Not that, you’re all too disgusting. Let me have a drink to calm down, I almost threw up.”
“You’re asking for death!” The horse-faced woman lunged at Lin Fengmian in anger.
“Since you have all chosen your own deaths and cannot wait, I can only grant your wishes!”
As Lin Fengmian spoke, he plunged his long sword into the ground, creating a prison. Countless sword qi, as fine as fish, surged upward.
But the woman sneered and swung her fly whisk, which fell like a ribbon, creating a strong wind that instantly cut through Lin Fengmian’s sword qi.
Lin Fengmian was startled, and his expression turned serious as he transformed into a streak of light, engaging the woman in a fierce battle.
“This woman is at the Unity Realm!” Luo Xue said solemnly.
“I can see that. Damn it, the information Jun Yunshang gave me is wrong!”
Lin Fengmian was both amused and annoyed. If it weren’t for the sharpness of Zhen Yuan, he would have been defeated already.
However, he guessed that this woman was Jun Jueli’s rarely used ace in the hole.
Apart from Jun Yunshang, the other princes were probably hiding some of their strength to varying degrees.
As for Jun Yunshang, she had nothing to hide as she originally had little power.
“Do you want me to take over?” Luo Xue asked.
“No, I’ll handle it myself. If I can’t even face a higher realm opponent, how can I help you kill the Sword Saint?”
“Besides, I suspect that the Dragon Seeking Discs the others have might be problematic, possibly used to spy on them.”
Lin Fengmian was now determined, clenching his teeth and pushing his potential to the limit.
The Demon Emperor’s techniques and the sword moves taught by Luo Xue became increasingly proficient in his hands, and he began to stabilize the situation.
Seeing his determination, Luo Xue felt a mix of emotions and warned, “Do what you can.”
On the other side, Jun Jueli leisurely strolled over to Jun Yunshang with a radiant smile on his face.
He had always been fond of his half-sister and harbored special feelings for her.
Unfortunately, the Emperor doted on her and kept her in the Inner Palace.
As a grown-up prince, he rarely had the chance to meet her.
He could only learn about her through the palace maids and guards, constantly sending her various gifts and heartfelt letters.
Jun Yunshang somehow sensed his intentions and was wary of him, rejecting everything he sent her.
To get closer to her, he even went so far as to sell his charm, lowering himself to approach her female guard, Ye Ling, just to create opportunities.
He had patience, knowing that he would have his chance after the emperor’s death.
In his eyes, the fact that the two had the same father but different mothers was not a big deal. Wasn’t this a way to purify the bloodline of his own royal family?
