The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1480: Betrayal

"From the southeast corner? Someone like you?"

A sneer curled on Yang Zhen's lips. "If you are going to lie, at least make it believable. If you were sent there, how could you possibly come back alive? The southeast corner is where the barbarian forces gather. You expect anyone to believe you made it back from there alive?"

At those words, several early tier Great Emperors with strength comparable to Donghuang Xuanyi frowned slightly.

That was true. The barbarians were mainly concentrated in the southeast. If Ling Feng had come all the way from there, even with his strength, facing more than three early tier Great Emperors at once would make survival nearly impossible.

Of course, that would be true without the Bow of Yi.

With the Bow of Yi, Ling Feng had instantly killed three early tier Great Emperors. There was no need for him to explain that.

Ling Feng looked at him calmly and replied in an even tone, "Yes, I did run into a few barbarian Great Emperors. I killed them on the way. What is there not to believe?"

As he spoke, Ling Feng casually tossed out his token. Everyone else still held bronze tokens, yet his emitted a silver glow. It had clearly advanced to the Silver rank!

"Silver token!"

Donghuang Xuanyi's eyelids twitched. Advancing a token to the Silver phase required at least six kills!

Ling Feng might lie, but the token would not!

"No way. The battle has not even properly started, and he already killed six barbarian elites on the way here?"

"With his strength, that is actually possible!"

"That is just luck. If he had run into a real encirclement, he would be dead." Some spoke with envy, assuming it was just luck.

They did not know he had indeed been surrounded by six enemies. The ones who died were the enemies.

Ling Feng clicked his tongue and did not bother explaining.

If there was a chance, he would let them experience the power of the immortal bow and arrows themselves.

Especially Yuwen Liang!

If Ling Feng found an opportunity, he would not hesitate. He would kill him first!

Seeing the silver token in Ling Feng's hand, Yang Zhen clenched his fist. His expression stiffened for a moment before turning dark. "Fine. Since you had your reasons, I will let it pass this time. What do you want to report? Speak!"

Ling Feng felt displeased. That was exactly why he had not wanted to return. He did not want to face that sour attitude. Still, for the bigger picture, he explained everything in detail.

"That is the situation. The barbarian Great Emperor Wen Te plans to use the sleeping devil here to attack us!"

After hearing this, several early tier Great Emperors who led teams drew sharp breaths.

Wen Te's scheme was vicious. No wonder the battlefield had been eerily quiet. They had not attacked, and the enemy had not come looking for them.

So this was their plan!

"What do we do now?"

"If what Junior Brother Ling said is true, then staying here makes us sitting ducks. Once that creature acts, we are finished!"

"..."

Voices rose one after another, and unease spread through the group.

Ling Feng kept an eye on Yuwen Liang. He showed the same shock as everyone else. From the outside, he did not look like he knew anything in advance.

Still, the man was deeply scheming. It could all be an act.

Yang Zhen fell silent after hearing everything. He did not speak for a long time.

Ling Feng's expression turned serious. He quickly said, "Senior Brother Yang, the most urgent matter is to lead everyone out of here immediately. Since they came prepared, they might have a way to guide that creature's attack. If that happens, it will be too late."

All eyes turned toward Yang Zhen. He was the commander of all Hall of War disciples in this operation. The decision rested entirely on him.

As for Song Feilian, he had already made his stance clear. He would follow Yang Zhen's lead. His only goal was to kill more enemies.

After a long pause, Yang Zhen slowly nodded. His gaze shifted to Ling Feng, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his cold eyes.

"Men, seize Ling Feng and kill him!"

The shout stunned everyone. For a moment, no one reacted.

What was going on?

Only Yuwen Liang showed a faint cold smile. He immediately shouted, "Did you not hear Senior Brother Yang? Capture Ling Feng at once!"

"Uh..."

Many Great Emperors hesitated. A few loyal to Yang Zhen rushed forward and surrounded Ling Feng.

Ling Feng frowned and stared at Yang Zhen. "Senior Brother Yang, I do not know how I have offended you. But at a time like this, you should think of the bigger picture. Do not lead everyone to ruin!"

"Insolence!"

Yang Zhen rose abruptly. An overwhelming pressure descended from above.

His face was stern and cold. "Do you think I would confuse personal matters with duty? You are clearly spreading lies to shake morale. You want every disciple of the Hall of War to panic, which would play right into the enemy's hands. Speak the truth. Have you already betrayed us and become their pawn?"

As soon as he said this, all the Great Emperors who had been confused turned their eyes on Ling Feng.

His words sounded too absurd.

Even if such a devil existed, it was an ancient being under a seal. Would a mere barbarian Great Emperor dare provoke it?

Even a Half-Saint expert would not dare touch such a terrifying existence.

"Betrayal?"

Ling Feng laughed in anger. "Yang Zhen, did a donkey kick your head?"

Fortunately, Despicable Donkey was still asleep after consuming spirit cores. Otherwise, it would have started cursing on the spot.

"Insolence!"

Rage surged in Yang Zhen's eyes. He raised his hand and pointed straight at Ling Feng. "Take this traitor down. If he resists, kill him on the spot!"

After the order was given, only the few who had already surrounded Ling Feng held their ground. The rest hesitated.

Since the incident with Clair, Ling Feng had gained deep respect among them. No one wanted to make the first move.

Seeing others hesitate, those few did not dare act rashly either.

Ling Feng's strength was terrifying. Even a single punch from him could leave them half dead.

Yang Zhen was furious. As one of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes and the overall commander, he held authority equal to an elder in the Hall of War. Yet now he could not command his own disciples!

It was clear how high Ling Feng's standing had risen.

His strength and past actions had earned both respect and admiration.

Even Donghuang Xuanyi frowned and said in a serious tone, "Senior Brother Yang, Ling Feng may be arrogant, but he would not betray the Hall of War. I am absolutely certain of that!"
