158: The majesty of the forest

Jun Wuyou looked at the giant pit, a look of relief after a narrow escape on his face.

When he saw Zhang Daoling looking at him, he said with a look of shame and indignation, “Today, I admit defeat. I’ll remember this grudge.”

After saying this, he didn’t even glance at the maid who was already dead on the ground.

He lifted his leg, ready to fly into the air.

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the air.

“Stop!”

The voice seemed to come from the distant horizon, yet it also seemed to ring in everyone’s ears.

Before anyone could figure out the source of the sound, Jun Wuyou, who had just flown up, was forced back to the ground.

Jun Wuyou stumbled and landed, taking a long time to regain his balance.

He looked at the sky angrily and said, “Who dares to attack This Young Master?”

Jun Wuyou had never been so angry in his life as he was today.

As the youngest and most prominent member of the Jun Family, and a disciple of the God Emperor, he had always been the center of attention, enjoying flattery from all walks of life.

He never expected that today, in a small Wu'an City, people would dare to defy him one after another.

All of this was the Zhang Family’s fault.

If it weren’t for the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family’s disrespect, none of this would have happened today.

Thinking of this, he cast a sinister glance at the Zhang Family.

“Another day, I will definitely bring people to flatten the Zhang Family.”

Jun Wuyou thought resentfully.

However, just then, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky.

The man leading them was handsome and refined, dressed in white clothes.

Behind the man was a graceful woman wearing a red mask.

The appearance of these two once again attracted everyone’s attention.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Jun Wuyou must have been forced back to the ground by them.

When Jun Wuyou saw the two appear, his eyes became even colder.

He said in an unfriendly tone, “Who are you? How dare you ambush me? Do you want to be enemies with my Jun Family?”

The Man in White Clothes looked at Jun Wuyou with disdain.

He said in a calm tone, “You came to my Zhang Family to cause trouble with such a fanfare, yet you don’t even know who I am.”

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuyou’s brows furrowed slightly.

He asked, “Are you Zhang Daoling?”

Then he seemed to remember something.

He turned to Zhang Daoling, who was wearing a mask, and asked, “He is Zhang Daoling, so who are you?”

Through their previous exchange, he had guessed that the masked man might be the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family, Zhang Daoling.

That’s why he was so fearless, because he knew Zhang Daoling wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

After all, the Zhang Family couldn’t withstand the wrath of the Jun Family.

But the person who suddenly appeared seemed to be saying that he was Zhang Daoling.

So who was this masked man?

A mysterious God Monarch Realm Expert, and one who protected the Zhang Family so much.

Facing Jun Wuyou’s inquiry, Zhang Daoling did not reply.

He flashed and appeared in front of the Man in White Clothes.

Then he cupped his hands to the Man in White Clothes and said, “Young Master, how should we deal with this person?”

Zhang Daoling’s action left everyone dumbfounded.

Such a powerful person actually addressed this man as Young Master.

And his attitude was exceptionally respectful.

Everyone’s gaze turned towards the Man in White Clothes.

The air briefly fell into a silence.

Suddenly, an almost inaudible voice rang out in the crowd.

“Isn’t this the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family? During the last Zhang Family crisis, he suddenly appeared and turned the tide.”

Although the person’s voice was not loud, everyone heard it.

Including Jun Wuyou, who was standing on the ground with a puzzled expression.

Jun Wuyou thought in disbelief, “How could Zhang Daoling have such a powerful God Monarch Realm Expert as a helper?”

“Looking at the masked man’s attitude towards him, he seems like his subordinate.”

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head.

He really couldn’t imagine what kind of person would have a God Monarch Realm Expert as a subordinate.

Although his Jun Family did not lack God Monarch Realm Experts, when truly facing a God Monarch Realm Expert, they would try to befriend them rather than offend them.

Every God Monarch Realm Expert was one of the top combat powers in the God Realm.

Apart from the Four God Emperors, they were the true rulers of a region.

Even God Emperors would try their best to win over God Monarch Realm Experts.

And at this moment, he remembered the purpose of his trip.

He came this time because the Western God Emperor Jia Lan had asked him to invite Zhang Daoling to attend a banquet.

The purpose was to recruit this newly promoted God Monarch.

But who knew that he, who had always been arrogant, would mess things up like this.

Although he had the Jun Family as his backing, Jia Lan would not blame him.

However, from now on, he would lose his position in Jia Lan’s heart.

Thinking of this, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He tried to force a smile on his face and said, “So it’s Brother Zhang. I have been waiting here for a long time.”

At this moment, Jun Wuyou no longer had any trace of his arrogant and overbearing demeanor.

Lin Mu looked at Jun Wuyou, who was forcing a smile, and did not give him a good look.

He said in a still calm tone, “This Young Master is not interested in your flattery. You only have three sentences.”

The smile on Jun Wuyou’s face suddenly froze.

Even though he tried his best to control himself, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

He asked in a deep voice, “Brother Zhang, are you threatening me?”

Lin Mu did not answer his question, but instead said, “First sentence.”

Jun Wuyou’s voice choked, and he said, “You!”

Lin Mu then said, “Second sentence.”

The anger in Jun Wuyou’s eyes surged.

He gritted his teeth and said, “The God Emperor orders you to go to the God Emperor Palace to attend a banquet in ten days.”

“The message has been delivered. I will take my leave.”

After Jun Wuyou finished speaking, he did not wait for Lin Mu to reply.

He made a move to fly away.

However, the next moment, his body seemed to be fixed to the ground.

His feet were unable to leave the ground.

This scene greatly alarmed Jun Wuyou.

What kind of method was this, to be able to confine a God Monarch here?

And from beginning to end, he hadn’t noticed when Lin Mu had made his move.

Jun Wuyou asked in surprise, “Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?”

Lin Mu smiled slightly and said, “You were just clamoring for This Young Master to kneel and welcome you.”

“Then This Young Master will grant your wish.”

“Kneel!”

As soon as Lin Mu’s words fell, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly enveloped the entire sky.

Everyone present, except for Lin Mu and the other two, all knelt uncontrollably on the spot.

Even Jun Wuyou and Hao Lianxue on the ground were no exception.

As God Monarchs, how could they kneel before others in front of everyone?

If this spread, they would never be able to hold their heads high again.

Thinking of this, they used all their might.

But no matter what methods they used, it was all in vain.

As for the rest of the onlookers, they were all kneeling on the ground, their faces bitter.

They never expected that the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family would be so overbearing.

They were just watching a show, yet they were also implicated.

Clearly, this was a warning to them.

Don’t easily offend the Zhang Family.

This was the sentiment in everyone’s hearts.

After Jun Wuyou tried all these methods and still couldn’t stand up, he could only raise his head and roar in impotent fury.

“The humiliation of today, the Jun Family will surely repay you a hundredfold in the future.”

The smile on Lin Mu’s face instantly vanished, and a chill instantly erupted from him.

Everyone present couldn’t help but shiver.

And Zhang Daoling, who was standing beside Lin Mu, said nervously, “Young Master, please think twice.”

Zhang Daoling was afraid that Lin Mu would kill Jun Wuyou in a fit of rage.

If he really did that, his Zhang Family would truly be finished.

This would not only provoke endless retaliation from the Jun Family, but even the God Emperor would not let the Zhang Family off.

Although he knew that Lin Mu’s abilities were not inferior to the God Emperor’s, there was more than one God Emperor.

All the major and minor forces in the entire Western Region had intricate connections with the God Emperor Jia Lan.

How could Lin Mu alone contend against the entire Western Region?

That’s why he spoke up to remind Lin Mu.

However, the next moment, Zhang Daoling’s body, like a cannonball, fell heavily from the sky and crashed to the ground.

Lin Mu said expressionlessly, “This Young Master doesn’t like others making decisions for me.”

“Remember, there won’t be a next time.”
