MTLNOVEL Chapter 1147: An Unpredictable Change
"What do you mean?" Yuwen Feng's eyes trembled.
"There are countless Underworld Soldiers, but only one Ghost General. Although their physical strength has increased, they still obey only you, right?"
Before long, cries of agony emerged from the backyard of Three-Branch Junction again, as Yuwen Feng pushed all the Uncle Masters around him into it.
At that moment, only he and Yuwen Jun remained on the shore.
Yuwen Jun nodded, "Brother will definitely become the strongest Ghost General."
Yuwen Feng laughed heartily, with a look of determination in his eyes.
All these years, though the Father King had never said it outright, he always felt he was like a piece of rotting wood that couldn't be propped up.
Yuwen Feng had always longed to find a way to prove himself, and now the opportunity had finally arrived.
Just as Yuwen Feng was fantasizing about leading the Underworld Soldiers to become emperor and beginning another glorious era, suddenly a powerful shove came against his chest.
He staggered back two steps, barely managing to steady himself, but then Yuwen Jun in front of him suddenly swept a leg sideways, kicking him into the Blood Pool.
"What are you doing!"
Yuwen Feng never expected this sentence would turn out to be his last words in this world.
After falling into the Blood Mist Pool, he screamed in agony like those strategists.
Yuwen Jun stood still at the shore, even showing a slight joyful smile at the corners of his mouth.
"You should feel honored to become my Ghost General. I've really put a lot of effort into bringing you here smoothly."
Yuwen Jun didn't concern himself with the person gradually turning rigid, turned around, and just before leaving, reminded the Shadow hiding in the dark.
"Keep an eye on things here, don't make any mistakes."
"Yes, Master."
Yuwen Jun curled his lips in satisfaction and left.
Ever since the "baiting strategy" in the Imperial Capital revealed Yuwen Ji's true intentions, this plan had already been in the making.
They abandoned him first, so they couldn't blame him for doing this.
...
Far away in the Imperial Capital, Yuwen Ji never thought that one day he would receive the news of his son's death in battle.
Not long ago, his plea for help had just arrived, making Yuwen Ji well aware of the situation over there, but Yuwen Jun was still too late even as he rushed over with reinforcements.
He slammed the table in rage; a good group of rebels had actually united with the Fire-Swallowing Tribe to kill his son!
Yuwen Ji had only this one legitimate son; even if he was incompetent, he was still his bloodline. Yuwen Luanfei was bold enough to actually kill his son!
Yuwen Ji immediately deployed elite troops and personally set out for Three-Branch Junction.
He traveled day and night for half a month, finally arriving at Three-Branch Junction. Back then, Yuwen Feng came with a hundred thousand troops; even though sixty thousand were wasted, there should still be forty thousand left, but the Three-Branch Junction he saw was eerily quiet.
So quiet that not even the sound of birds or the sight of Soldiers could be found.
Drawing on his years of accumulated experience, Yuwen Ji detected something amiss.
He keenly made a gesture to halt their advance.
"Zuo He, take people to investigate the situation."
"Yes." The person named was a young man in his twenties, who was Zuo Jiang's brother.
Zuo He quickly led an advance squad to investigate the situation at the Three-Branch Junction ahead.
Just while Yuwen Ji was waiting for news, there was suddenly a commotion around him.
The elite troops he brought immediately grew alert to their surroundings.
Soon, numerous armored people emerged from the forest, charging towards the crowd. At first, everyone thought they were the enemy, but when the armored people got closer, everyone realized they were their own men!
