Chapter 191: Chapter 0186: Do Not Interfere in Our Affairs_2 Chapter 191: Chapter 0186: Do Not Interfere in Our Affairs_2 On either side of Zhao Donghao stood a person. On the left, Qi Tian saw very clearly, it should be the princess Zhao Qian, whom he had not seen for many days. On the right was an eunuch, with white hair, holding a duster in his hand, humble and unassuming. At first glance, outsiders might think he is just an inconspicuous old servant. However, those who are familiar with the situation at the King Zhangbei Manor know that this eunuch is Wu Junlin, the chief steward of the King Zhangbei Manor. His cultivation level is unfathomable. According to rumors, he is at least an eight-layer Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. When Zhao Donghao was young, Wu Junlin saved his life more than once. Therefore, Wu is deeply trusted by Zhao.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Xia and the others reached the foot of the mountain. After making few pleasantries with King Zhangbei, they invited him to ascend the mountain.

Quickly, King Zhangbei arrived at the summit of Wild Goose Falling Mountain. He walked directly towards the crowded high platform. Looking at the overcrowded people on the platform, he frowned slightly and turned to Wu Junlin: “Eunuch Wu, drive these annoying flies away for me. They irritate me.”

Immediately, Wu Junlin dashed out like a ghost, reaching out to grab the nearest foreign cultivator.

Chen Wenbo knew Zhao Donghao, but he didn’t take him seriously. If it was a prince who came, he would show some respect, but a mere regional king like Zhao was beneath his notice. Seeing Wu Junlin make the first move, Chen Wenbo snorted coldly. However, he did not make a move. Instead, Zhu Feng, a fellow disciple who came with them, stepped forward.

Zhu Feng’s cultivation was no less impressive, at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment Stage. He slapped towards Wu Junlin.

Wu Junlin did not duck nor dodge. He directly countered the slap. In an instant, their palms collided, causing a loud bang. Wu Junlin remained motionless, but Zhu Feng could not withstand the force and was sent flying back, crashing into a fellow cultivator behind him. This cultivator was invited by Gao Han. With Zhu Feng’s impact, the cultivator directly fell to the ground, his chest caved in, blood flowing from his seven apertures, he died on the spot.

Having killed one person with his collision, Zhu Feng still couldn’t stop his momentum. He crashed into another friend that Gao Han had invited, nearly killing him. It was only then that his backward momentum subsided enough for him not to kill the third person.

After sending Zhu Feng flying, Wu Junlin did not stop. He immediately went in for the kill. However, the indifferent look in his eyes indicated that he would not stop until Zhu Feng was dead.

Zhu Feng was, after all, an eight-layer cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. He was a significant figure in Guardian National Master Manor. If he were to die here, Chen Wenbo would certainly receive a reprimand from Wu Tie, the Master of the Guardian National Master Manor when he returned. This is considered mild only because he was Wu Tie’s disciple. Without this connection, he might have to bear a lot more responsibility.

However, even such a reprimand was a severe matter for Chen Wenbo. He would not allow such an incident to occur. His ability to earn Wu Tie’s favor was due not only to his exceptional talent, but also to his competence. Whatever task Wu Tie assigned, he was always able to handle it properly. If he were to stand by and watch Zhu Feng be killed, his treatment at Wu Tie’s hands would surely decline, which was absolutely unacceptable for him.

Chen Wenbo immediately sprang into action, slapping towards Wu Junlin’s heart from behind, intending to save Zhu Feng by forcing Wu Junlin to retract his hand.

“How dare you! You dare to attack my companion in front of me. Don’t panic, companion, I will save you.” King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao yelled, and immediately launched an attack, aiming his palm at Chen Wenbo’s heart.

When Zhao Donghao made a move, Chen Wenbo’s face changed. He had heard that Zhao Donghao’s cultivation was not weak, however, he never took him seriously. Having experienced it personally now, he found that Zhao Donghao indeed had great talent in cultivation, just as the rumors said. Even though he was not a Half-step Golden Core like Chen Wenbo yet, he should be somewhat stronger than Zhu Feng, probably reaching the peak of the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If Zhao Donghao were to land a blow on his heart, it would definitely cause him great harm.

In his helplessness, Chen Wenbo had no choice but to retreat and block with his hand at his back. Even though he did not have much respect for Zhao Donghao, Zhao Donghao was, after all, a Prince. If he were to injure this Prince, he would face the fury of the Great Zhao royal family. The current Emperor of Great Zhao was not one to be trifled with.

When Chen Wenbo retreated, he naturally couldn’t save Zhu Feng. By that time, Wu Junlin had already reached Zhu Feng and was choking him. He was grabbing Zhu Feng’s neck as if Zhu was a dead dog, and tossed him right off the high platform. “Stay put under the platform. If you dare step onto the platform and stand beside the Prince again, I will crush you,” he threatened.

The ferocity of Wu Junlin startled everyone present on the high platform, including Gao Han. Everyone from the Imperial Master Mansion, with the exception of the cultivators, were like startled bunnies. They quickly climbed over the railing of the platform and jumped down. In their hurried states, one of the cultivators even sprained his ankle. Similar to the saying ‘those who drown often knew how to swim,’ who would have believed that a cultivator could sprain his ankle without seeing it with their own eyes?

Not only were Gao Han and the others frightened off the platform, but even several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators from the Imperial Master Mansion also left the platform, unafraid of being collateral damage of Wu Junlin. Within moments, the once bustling high platform was all but deserted with only a few left.

After dealing with Gao Han and the others, Wu Junlin turned his gaze onto Chen Wenbo. Chen Wenbo and Zhao Donghao had just locked horns, and both sides had taken a breather simultaneously. Although no fight had broken out, both parties were glaring at each other, ready to spring into action at any moment.

Wu Junlin stealthily appeared behind Zhao Donghao, and joined him in his standoff against Chen Wenbo, significantly diminishing Chen’s momentum.

“Prince, would you like your servant here to rid you of this annoying fly?” Wu Junlin asked without looking at Chen Wenbo. He dared to insult Chen with the derogatory term “fly”.

Luo Xia was holding back a laugh. Just now, Chen Wenbo was high and mighty, not putting anyone in his eyes. But now, he got his comeuppance by being oppressed into immobility by Wu Junlin and Zhao Donghao. It indeed has to be a villain to eradicate another villain.

Luo Xia didn’t step forward to mediate. He quite liked the idea of using Wu Junlin and Zhao Donghao to oust Chen Wenbo and his crew. That way, the humiliation the Imperial Master Mansion experienced would be vented, and Lubei County Master’s position would be secure.

Zhao Donghao and Wu Junlin might have guessed Luo Xia’s intentions, but they were willing to oblige. The Imperial Master Mansion was located in Zhangshui City, the neighbor of King Zhangbei Manor. They had always been allies, mutually helping each other in times of need. Furthermore, Zhao Donghao had spent his youth in the Imperial Master Mansion and owed some of his learning to Xiao Xiaowu, the Mansion Master. Now that the Imperial Master Mansion was in trouble, as a quasi-disciple, he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

Just as both sides were about to clash, Chen Wenbo did something unexpected: he took out a badge from his bosom and held it high up. “King Zhangbei, do you recognize this badge?” he declared.

Upon seeing the badge, Zhao Donghao quickly put on a smile and said, “So you are from the Guardian National Master Manor? How should I address you? I don’t think we have met before.”

Chen Wenbo snorted, and put away the badge that had “Guardian Master: Wu Tie” written on it, which was personally given to him by Wu Tie. He didn’t bother explaining to Zhao Donghao. Speaking another word to such a duplicitous prince was a waste of breath. He said, “King Zhangbei, I don’t know why you are here today, and I will not pursue the responsibility of your men injuring my junior disciple Zhu Feng. All I ask is for you to stand by with your men and not intervene in the affairs between the Guardian National Master Manor and the Imperial Master Mansion.”
