The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1478: Spreading the Warning

At that moment, fifty li away, Ling Feng lay hidden within a patch of shrubs. Through the power of Boundless Vision, he had clearly overheard every detail of Wen Te's plan.

"This Wen Te really knows how to scheme!"

Ling Feng nodded slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Too bad for him. Since I've heard it, the outcome is bound to change!"

The bold thrive while the timid starve.

Most people would never dare to sneak into a devil's lair while it slept, let alone steal its treasures.

After some thought, Ling Feng decided to inform the Hall of War disciples.

No matter what, they were on the same side. Now that he knew about this plot, he could not ignore it.

The valley where they were gathered was not far from where the devil was sealed. In fact, the entire valley lay almost within its reach. If that creature awakened and let out a single roar, countless Extreme Human Emperors might die instantly.

And if it struck forward with even one hand, the result would be even worse. It would wipe them out completely.

He had not forgotten the Void Colossal Beast Eboregth he encountered in the Four Spirits Divine-Sealing Tablet. With its three heads and six arms, a single strike of its palm caused devastation like a massive earthquake!

That was while it was still trapped within a sealing barrier. Without that barrier, Ling Feng would not have survived it.

At that moment, two early-tier Great Emperor barbarians approached the area where Ling Feng was hiding. They were clearly scouting the surroundings to ensure no one discovered their plan to awaken the devil and warn the Hall of War forces.

Ling Feng immediately summoned the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and hid inside. Only after the two barbarians moved far away did he reappear.

Now was not the time to attack them. Wen Te and Drucker were too close. If he got surrounded, he would be walking straight into a trap.

More importantly, Wen Te's plan had to be reported to the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes as soon as possible.

They were fellow disciples. Ling Feng could not stand by and watch them die.

Besides, if too many Hall of War disciples were wiped out, he alone would not be able to turn things around.

He had originally planned to fight a "guerrilla" battle, hiding in the shadows and picking off enemies one by one. But now that he had uncovered the barbarians' scheme, he had no choice but to change his plan.

About two hours later, Ling Feng arrived near the northwest corner of the Hunting Battlefield.

He nodded to himself. The stronghold Yang Zhen had chosen was actually quite good. It was easy to defend, hard to attack, and well concealed. As a base, it was a solid choice.

However, for Ling Feng, that concealment meant little. With Boundless Vision, finding a hidden valley in the forest was not difficult.

Half an hour later, Ling Feng reached a depression within the forest. Inside lay the valley Yang Zhen had mentioned.

"Who goes there?"

A cold voice came from a concealed rock wall within the valley.

Moments later, a young woman in white robes flew down from the treetops. She looked like a fairy from a painting.

When she saw who it was, she let out a soft sound of surprise. "Why is it you?"

That woman was none other than Fairy Qingping, Yu Qingping.

Although she held a high status within the inner sect, her strength only placed her in the middle ranks. As a result, she was assigned to guard outside the valley as a hidden sentry.

Ling Feng raised a brow and nodded slightly. "Senior Sister Yu."

Setting aside everything else, even though he did not get along with Qin Zusheng, he still had some acquaintance with Yu Qingping. There was no need to treat her coldly.

Fairy Qingping bit her lip and stared at him for a moment before speaking. "Senior Brother Yang said we should gather here immediately after entering the Hunting Battlefield. Why are you so late?"

Ling Feng simply shrugged and did not answer. Instead, he asked calmly, "How many people are in the valley right now?"

Her brows furrowed slightly in displeasure, but she still replied, "Aside from you and a few others, almost everyone is here. Oh, and Senior Brother Feng Shaoan doesn't seem to be here either."

Before entering, Yang Zhen had instructed them that their first priority was to gather in the northwest valley.

Most of them knew their own limits, so they chose to move as a group to ensure their safety.

As a result, they followed his orders and gathered here, waiting for further instructions.

They had been assembled for over a day. Yang Zhen had only told them to stay in the valley, cultivate, and remain ready for battle. He had not even sent out scouts to observe the surroundings. Everything felt unusually slow and cautious.

Some Great Emperors eager to earn merit, like Donghuang Xuanyi, had suggested taking the initiative to attack, but Yang Zhen rejected them.

His reasoning was to first secure the valley and treat it as a fortress, preparing for a prolonged battle.

After all, this was a month-long conflict. There was no need to rush.

Yang Zhen had earned countless merits on the frontlines of the Land of War, so no one dared to question him openly.

"How foolish!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. If Yang Zhen had sent out scouts earlier, would no one have noticed the barbarians' movements?

The lack of unity between the demon clan and the barbarians was a clear weakness. Even if their combined forces held a slight advantage, exploiting that flaw could split them apart and allow one side to be eliminated first.

A strategy like Yang Zhen's meant giving up the initiative entirely.

Ling Feng had read military texts before and had spent time at Qingtian Fortress and Tianmang Fortress in the Tianbai Empire. He had at least some understanding of warfare. No matter how he looked at it, Yang Zhen's approach felt overly foolish.

He shook his head. In his eyes, this was simply an overly cautious style of command.

If it were him, he would have already sent people out to strike.
