165: Zhang Zheng, the heir of the Zhang family, was defeated

Everyone stood frozen in place, their faces solemn, except for this person who had descended from the sky and, like someone with a thick skull, poked his head around asking what had happened.

He was either stupid or cunning.

And this person was clearly the latter.

"Young Master..."

The Elder who had just been slapped bowed his head to the newly arrived youth, his respectful tone subtly tinged with a hint of grievance.

Does the Jun Family still care about reason? On our territory, they just hit people as they please?

That's right, the newcomer was Zhang Zheng, the legitimate son of the Zhang Family, a true heir of the Zhang Family.

"Mm." Zhang Zheng completely ignored the other's grievance and hummed in response, then as if suddenly noticing, he looked over with a puzzled expression: "Uncle Hua, what happened here? Why are there dead people?"

"Oh dear, what on earth happened here? The people from the Ye Family and Qin Family will be arriving soon, and a ground full of blood will be hard to explain."

Zhang Zheng seemed to be talking to the Elder, but in reality, he was speaking to Jun Lingxiao:

Two of the Ten Chiefs of the Three Heavens are coming; don't be too arrogant, Jun Family!

He, of course, knew what had happened, but with the Jun Family's mountain-like presence, they couldn't completely fall out, so they had to downplay it.

The question was, would Jun Lingxiao fall for that?

Now, with Divine Authority bestowed upon him, no one could intimidate Jun Lingxiao!

Even the Zhang Family Patriarch would get a slap from him!

Though he was arrogant outside, the entire Jun Family spoke for him behind his back.

"Dead people?"

"What's the big deal about one or two people dying? The blame lies in..."

Jun Lingxiao said, looking at Zhang Zheng with a playful glint in his eyes: "They were blind."

"They dared to speak ill of the Jun Family in front of me."

"So they deserved to die."

"And I find it hard not to suspect that someone instigated this incident. Young Master Zhang, do you have any clues?"

Zhang Zheng felt something was off about these words.

I haven't even pursued you for murder, and you're turning around and pursuing me?

There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but fortunately, he maintained his composure, directly waving his hand and beginning to make arrangements.

"Come! Investigate whose Family this person belongs to! To dare to speak ill of the Jun Family on my Zhang Family's territory is simply courting death!"

"Investigate it as quickly as possible and give Divine Child Jun an explanation."

"I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, Divine Child, please calm your anger. It's getting late, please come this way..."

Zhang Zheng said, making a gesture to invite him.

Zhang Family's territory, daring to cause trouble without the Zhang Family's permission?

Jun Lingxiao knew this very well, but no rush, slowly.

He didn't expose it, and then the group, led by Zhang Zheng, walked towards the Zhang Family's main building.

This sight stunned the onlookers.

It was clear that Jun Lingxiao was being unreasonable; everyone was dead, yet he was still demanding the real culprit. Wasn't this blatant bullying? But the Zhang Family actually accepted it?

Everyone shook their heads, praying inwardly that they wouldn't provoke Jun Lingxiao during the Dao discussion, otherwise, even the Zhang Family wouldn't be able to protect them.

Meanwhile, Zhang Zheng didn't care what others said. Although he was angry, he still proudly introduced some of his Family's wonders to Jun Lingxiao.

"This garden was specially built for this Supreme War, spanning thirty-six thousand li, leading directly to the main building, allowing guests to appreciate the various wonders and exotic beasts meticulously arranged by my Zhang Family while on their way."

"Divine Child, look over there, that's something I found outside before..."

Zhang Zheng spoke with increasing enthusiasm. Although he genuinely disliked Jun Lingxiao, he couldn't help but show off to him.

Ling Tian, who was following behind, was also in good spirits, looking around curiously, but after the scene just now, a hint of fear arose in Jun Siyu's heart. She looked up at her brother, who was holding her hand, and felt that today's brother... was a little unfamiliar.

As he listened, Jun Lingxiao suddenly interrupted Zhang Zheng's incessant introduction.

"This garden of yours is quite nice, but..."

"But?" Zhang Zheng thought Jun Lingxiao was about to praise him, and a look of joy appeared on his face, but the next moment, he saw Jun Lingxiao raise his hand.

Just as he was wondering, Jun Lingxiao's palm had already fallen, accompanied by a tremendous pressure!

With a loud boom!

A giant sword phantom descended from thin air, splitting the winding garden right down the middle!

"It's just too winding."

"When walking, just walk straight. Winding around wastes time."

As he spoke, Jun Lingxiao even looked at Zhang Zheng and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Don't you agree, Young Master Zhang?"

I agree with your mother!

Zhang Zheng roared in his heart. He knew that this project was his responsibility, intended to use this garden to show off the Zhang Family's heritage to external guests, but now... damn Jun Lingxiao!

Zhang Zheng had already cursed Jun Lingxiao's ancestors eighteen times in his heart, but outwardly, he couldn't show the slightest hint of it.

The Jun Family, one of the Three Heavens, if they completely fell out, his Zhang Family would be destroyed in an instant, no joke.

"Divine Child Jun is right; it is indeed a bit winding. Since the path is now clear, I will go and greet the other guests."

"I hope the Divine Child can always be so cheerful."

"Farewell."

Zhang Zheng's eye twitched. After forcing out those words, he immediately turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Damn Jun Lingxiao! Just you wait!

If I can't deal with you, someone else will!

You'd best remain so arrogant. When you make more enemies in the future, I'll see what you do!

Jun Siyu watched Zhang Zheng leave in a daze. She could tell he was very angry but dared not show it.

This is... her brother in front of others... Just as she was thinking, Jun Lingxiao's voice rang out.

He held Jun Siyu's hand and walked along the grand path filled with sword power, his tone persuasive.

"The second mistake you made was not to turn around and ask your subordinates what to do."

"You are the master, you are the one in power; they are your subordinates."

"If a subordinate makes a decision for you, isn't that insubordination? Therefore, they will not make any decisions for you but will wait for your command."

Jun Siyu listened, nodding somewhat dejectedly and saying, "Oh." She felt she had done a terrible job and brought shame to the Jun Family.

Jun Lingxiao patted her head.

"I should apologize to you. Actually, I was always there; I didn't show up because I wanted to see how you would handle this kind of situation."

"Unlike when you were in the Jun Family, the malice of these people here is more hidden and more vicious. At home, you are a Disciple, but when you are out, you are the spokesperson for the Jun Family. Every word and action represents the Jun Family. In front of them, you must be even more vigilant and must not back down."

"In other words, this is also a test from the Family for you."

Jun Siyu listened, half-understanding. She looked back at the stunned passersby, then down at the broad, straight path carved out beneath her feet, and up at her brother's face. A strange emotion brewed within her.

It seemed she knew nothing about her brother's past... "Brother, did anyone teach you these things before?"

Jun Siyu asked, but in fact, she already had the answer in her heart.

"No."

Jun Lingxiao gently stroked her head again and said dismissively.

He used to be unloved by his mother and father; how could anyone have taught him?.

He just figured it out step by step.
