Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Ji Chen’s Thoughts, Surrounded by Enemies

“Tianji Pavilion…” Ji Chen muttered softly, his expression unreadable.

However, the messenger lowered his head deeply, his legs trembling uncontrollably. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling a wave of anxiety.

Those familiar with Ji Chen knew that this was the calm before the storm, the last moment of peace before he exploded in rage!

“What kind of force is this?” Ji Chen took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner anger.

“Reporting to the War God, Tianji Pavilion has been lying low in Chuzhou for many years. It is the most well-established and resourceful force, second only to the first family of Chuzhou, the Chu family!”

“Many influential figures are associated with it, and it is filled with experts, including numerous warriors at the Man and Heaven Realm.” The messenger spoke nervously, his expression tense.

“I don’t care how many experts they have. Now that I know the truth, Tianji Pavilion has no reason to exist!” Ji Chen sneered, exuding an undeniable aura of dominance.

This was the confidence of the War God of the Northern Border! In the Northern Border, he could command a million troops, so he naturally wouldn’t fear a mere Tianji Pavilion.

“Pass down the order, we will return to Linjiang City tomorrow!”

“Yes, sir.” The messenger was about to bow and leave when Ji Chen called out to him again.

“Wait.”

“Is there anything else, War God?” The messenger turned back, puzzled, and looked at Ji Chen.

“Have you found out who killed Chen Feng?” Ji Chen asked, his expression dark.

Chen Feng, one of the four great seats of the Northern Border, had died mysteriously in Linjiang City! This had always been a thorn in Ji Chen’s heart, especially since Chen Feng was a close friend.

He couldn’t just sit back and do nothing while his friend’s body was still warm!

“We found out it was Jiang Che, the number one young master of Linjiang City, who killed Lord Chen…” The messenger hesitated before speaking slowly.

“Is this Linjiang number one young master, someone important?” Seeing the messenger’s expression, Ji Chen frowned and asked, puzzled.

“Jiang Che is from the Jiang family, the top family in Jiangzhou, and is the only grandson of Jiang Jingshan.” The messenger said solemnly, falling silent after delivering this information.

He believed Ji Chen understood the weight of his words. Ji Chen was well aware of Jiang Jingshan’s influence in the Nine Provinces.

“Jiang Jingshan’s grandson?” Hearing the answer, Ji Chen frowned even more.

Indeed, he knew how significant Jiang Jingshan’s influence was. He hadn’t expected Chen Feng to provoke his grandson, making the situation even more complicated…

Although he was the War God of the Northern Border, commanding a million troops, his status was still slightly lower than Jiang Che’s…

If given ten more years, he might be able to stand on equal footing with Jiang Che.

“Why did Jiang Che kill Chen Feng?” Ji Chen asked heavily, his face expressionless.

“It seems to be because of a woman… Lord Chen was engaged before he came to the Northern Border. When he returned to Linjiang City, his fiancée was already with Jiang Che…”

“Lord Chen was furious and started causing trouble for Jiang Che, eventually getting himself killed.” The messenger recalled the events and relayed all the information he had gathered to Ji Chen.

“Alright, I understand. You may leave. Give the order, we return to Linjiang City tomorrow! This time, only ten war generals will accompany me.” Ji Chen waved his hand, dismissing the messenger.

Feeling somewhat speechless, he didn’t expect Chen Feng to act so recklessly over a woman. This time, he didn’t plan to make a big show of it to avoid giving those with ulterior motives a chance to take advantage.

“Understood, War God. I will go relay the orders.” The messenger respectfully bowed and left.

After he left, Ji Chen sat back down and sighed helplessly. Although he wanted to avenge Chen Feng, the situation was not simple.

If he acted against Jiang Che and was exposed, he would lose his position and be forced to wander, endlessly pursued by Jiang Jingshan.

He wasn’t foolish. He had worked hard to achieve his current position and wouldn’t give it up easily! He needed a flawless plan to ensure nothing could go wrong.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t act rashly.

Thinking this, Ji Chen picked up a document left by the messenger and began to read it carefully. It was his approved leave request from the higher-ups.

“Only half a month of leave… But it’s enough…” Looking at the document, Ji Chen sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

He had originally requested a two-month leave, but it had been reduced to half a month. He knew someone was behind this!

Most likely his old rival, the Lord of the Western Palace!
