Chapter 897 Mastery

Chapter 897: Chapter 897 Mastery

Following this line of thought, could it be that he was also the one who eradicated the Black Spider?

Back then, the County Magistrate of Dai County claimed that it was with the help of several enthusiastic Rangers that they succeeded in suppressing the bandits.

And Junjun, on her way to the Imperial Capital, passing through Dai County, An County, Three-Branch Junction, Ying County, and finally arriving at the Imperial Capital, indeed follows a straight route.

What a clever Li Wenli!

The real user of Junjun as a front was him! Ostensibly protecting Junjun, but in reality acting as Yuwen Luanfei’s lapdog!

Yuwen Jun felt the fog that had troubled him for many days was finally lifting.

He thought, how could there be a power that always opposed him, he had believed it was someone from the Northern Lands who uncovered his secret agents, but now it seems this is not the case.

Feeling he had grasped the truth, Yuwen Jun no longer hesitated and declared: "Great Elder, I am now going to capture the real culprit. Once the culprit is apprehended, I will surely bring him over for your judgement."

"In that case, I shall trouble Young Master Yuwen," the Great Elder said with a cupped-hand salute.

Yuwen Jun slightly cupped his hands in return: "No need for politeness, the Gu Master has treated me well, this is what I should do to repay."

A flicker of complexity crossed the Great Elder’s eyes upon hearing this.

Clearly, Yuwen Jun came to help because of the Gu Master, but the Gu Master herself is also burdened with many secrets.

Yuwen Jun helped them unlock the Gu Master’s secret chamber, and he believes the truth about the Poisoned Man will soon come to light. Whether Yuwen Jun knows about this remains to be seen.

If he knows, then essentially he also assisted the Gu Master in betraying the Witch God.

If this is indeed the case, once Yuwen Jun brings back the murderer, should he also punish Yuwen Jun at the same time?

Because of this concern, the Great Elder did not disclose the matter of the Poisoned Man.

And Yuwen Jun did not mention a word either, as if completely unaware of the Poisoned Man’s existence.

After finishing their conversation, Yuwen Jun was about to leave, but before he did, he cupped his hands and said: "Removing the Guards from the Three-Branch Junction is unwise at this moment."

"Why do you say that?" The Great Elder was perplexed.

After all, a serious problem had arisen at Witch Ancestor Mountain, they were already short on hands, and now they needed to send out a team to hunt down their enemy, leaving no resources to spare for the deployment at Three-Branch Junction.

Yuwen Jun shook his head: "Not so, the Three-Branch Junction serves as a natural barrier, keeping the three powers separate. If the guards are withdrawn, people will surely guess that there is internal strife on Witch Ancestor Mountain. Should someone with ulterior motives seize the Three-Branch Junction, wouldn’t it be like Witch Ancestor Mountain voluntarily giving up the open ground before its gate for others to set up the repeating crossbow cart?"

The Great Elder was startled; he had only thought of retracting his forces to establish a secure perimeter and hadn’t considered that this would allow others to obtain a greater opportunity for attack.

"There is natural poisonous miasma surrounding Witch Ancestor Mountain. As long as you control the Detoxification Pills to prevent anyone from entering or exiting, the Guards stationed at the foot of the mountain should be redeployed back to the Three-Branch Junction to resume normal operations."

"But..." The Great Elder hesitated, wondering if another incident like the one before occurred, wouldn’t it mean that they wouldn’t be able to save even the last of their men?

Yuwen Jun understood: "If you cannot decide, I can send five hundred cavalry to assist. They can wear your men’s uniform and follow your orders."

A glimmer of joy appeared on the Great Elder’s face, but it was quickly restrained.

How could he be sure that Yuwen Jun was not the very repeating crossbow cart stationed at the gate?

Yuwen Jun lowered his gaze and nodded: "I entered into an alliance with the Gu Master before the Witch God, and my allegiance will not change, regardless of the Gu Master’s presence or absence.

Moreover, there is the Life and Death Gu within me, so in essence, my life is in the hands of the Great Elder. What reason would I have to jest with my own life?"

Finally relaxed, the Great Elder replied: "Alright, I will trust you this time."

"I will certainly not let the Great Elder down."
