Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 992: Mysterious Man in Black

"Everything you’ve done is within Father’s examination criteria. Don’t forget our original agreement—if Father decides you’re unsuitable for the throne, he holds the right to act as regent."

"Jun is still young. It’s only fitting for the Prince and elder cousin to assist and elevate him." Yuwen Jun replied neither obsequiously nor insolently.

Curry Meatball finally nodded with satisfaction. "Rest assured, I’m not like your heartless and ungrateful brothers. I will help you. By the way, I plan to visit the Lower Right District tomorrow, house by house to investigate. You don’t need to bother with me—just focus on your own tasks."

Curry Meatball’s words momentarily startled Yuwen Jun. "I’ve already thoroughly investigated the Lower Right District, and every household has been checked no less than three times. There shouldn’t be any issue."

Curry Meatball glanced at him cryptically. "If your methods truly worked, why would I need to step in?"

Yuwen Jun seemed to realize something and raised his hand with some disapproval. "Elder brother, Biluo is not Xuanwei. Regardless of anything else, in Alley Thirty of the Lower Right District alone, there are two hundred households per alley, and each household has three to five residents. Even though they are considered the lowliest of Biluo City’s people, they are integral components to the city’s normal operation and cannot be slaughtered carelessly..."

"Enough! When all’s said and done, these people belong to the Eastern Land, not to you. Why go to such lengths out of misplaced compassion? Besides, extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures. If you don’t handle matters decisively, how will others respect you? You should learn how to impose authority in front of commoners."

Curry Meatball interrupted Yuwen Jun sharply. This man was indeed Yuwen Feng, the eldest son of the Fifth Prince.

"Biluo must remain under strict control over the next few days—there cannot be the slightest disturbance. If Father’s plans are disrupted because of this, you know the consequences."

As the two were speaking intently, a faint "click" echoed from outside, immediately putting the surrounding guards on high alert.

"Who’s there?!"

"Maintain vigilance!"

Just as the words left their mouths, the sound of clashing weapons rang outside. Under the guards’ protection, Yuwen Feng and Yuwen Jun quickly made their way out.

They saw that at some point, a group of black-clad intruders had infiltrated the sprawling City Lord’s Mansion.

These black-clad figures wielded gleaming knives and were skillfully engaging the guards in combat.

Yuwen Feng couldn’t help but smirk upon seeing this. "There’s a road to paradise, yet you refuse to take it; there’s no entrance to hell, yet you insist on barging in. You’ve come at the right time—let me see who dares to stir up trouble here."

With that, he gestured grandly, and soon a swarm of crossbow-wielding soldiers poured into the City Lord’s Mansion.

Yuwen Feng, ruthless to the core, wasted no time. As soon as the archers were in position, he immediately ordered them to kill without the slightest intention of negotiation.

The black-clad intruders, equally unyielding, quickly formed a defensive circle before the arrows could rain down. They surrounded a tall, gaunt masked figure in the center, clearly aiming to shield him from the attack.

In a single glance, it was obvious who the leader was.

Yuwen Feng leisurely extended his hand, signaling subordinates to bring him a crossbow. Then, he aimed directly at the black-clad man in the center, drawing the bowstring taut.

Just as the bolt was about to strike the masked figure, a violent gust of wind suddenly surged from the surroundings.

The force of the wind was so ferocious that it sent chills down everyone’s spines. As it roared past, the archers were all abruptly sliced in half at the waist as though an invisible blade had cleaved through them.

In just moments, the tense standoff morphed into a living purgatory, with severed limbs scattered in every direction.

Everyone present widened their eyes in shock at this unexpected turn. The black-clad intruders seized the opportunity, protecting their leader as they fled with incredible agility.

Yuwen Feng would never let them escape so easily. Seeing them about to fly off, he instinctively drew his blade to pursue. But in the next instant, a whirlwind swept up around him as well.
