The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1577: Chaos Has Begun

After entering the city, Ling Feng immediately headed for Xianyao Pavilion and quickly found Feng Yan, who had lost an arm.

At Feng Yan's side, he also saw Fatty Huang and Lan Yingying. The two of them were truly loyal. After learning what had happened to Feng Yan, they rushed all the way from the Tianbai Empire without stopping.

Their speed was far slower than Ling Feng's. Although they had set out almost a month earlier than him, they only arrived at Iron Ice City about three days ago.

"Brother Ling, you're finally back!"

Seeing Ling Feng return safe and sound, Feng Yan visibly relaxed. After all, he had personally experienced Yan Jinghong's strength back then and still feared him deeply.

"Yes. The crisis in the Tianbai Empire has been resolved. Yan Jinghong is dead. I killed him."

Ling Feng looked deeply at Feng Yan, then glanced at his missing arm and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Feng, don't worry. I will find a way to help you regrow your arm."

Feng Yan shook his head with a bitter smile.

"It doesn't matter. I'm already lucky to still be alive thanks to you. As for regrowing an arm, I don't dare hope for that."

Reattaching a severed limb was not difficult, but his arm had been blown into dust. Growing a new arm from nothing was far from easy.

"No. I always keep my promises."

Ling Feng gently patted Feng Yan's shoulder. Then he noticed Lin Mu and the others were not around and could not help asking,

"By the way, Brother Feng, where are Lin Mu and the others? I told that guy to look after you, yet he ran off instead."

"No, Brother Ling, you misunderstood him."

Feng Yan quickly explained.

"Brother Lin stayed at Xianyao Pavilion to take care of me the whole time. About seven or eight days ago, he received a message from his sect. Something must have happened, so he hurried back. He hasn't returned since then, but he gave instructions before leaving, so the Xianyao Pavilion disciples did not make things difficult for me."

With Lin Mu's status, the disciples naturally did not dare disobey his instructions.

Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose and muttered to himself,

"Something happened in the sect? If that's the case, Lin Mu and Li Fei were probably summoned back too. I wonder how they are doing now."

"Brother Ling, Yingying and Fatty Huang are here to take care of me, so you don't need to worry. You should return to the sect as soon as possible."

Seeing the serious look on Ling Feng's face, Feng Yan urged him to leave.

Ling Feng looked at Feng Yan for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, I'll go first. Stay here at Xianyao Pavilion and recover properly. If anything happens, ask the disciples here to send a message to me or Lin Mu."

Before leaving, Ling Feng left Feng Yan some medicinal pills to restore vitality. Then he used the teleportation array inside Xianyao Pavilion and teleported directly back to the Dongling Immortal Pool.

...

After returning to the sect, Ling Feng headed straight to the Dan Ding Grand Hall to look for Master Ye Xiong.

Although Ling Feng had earned great merit in the Land of War, he had not officially received any rewards from the sect leadership. In name, he was still only an outer sect disciple.

Of course, the identity of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes had been very useful, but he had already given the token away to support Mo Feng.

So the current Ling Feng still could not freely enter the Heavenly Realm and could only seek out outer sect elders to gather information.

As for Fang Wen, the attendant who had been staying in his Number One Sky Tier Mingjian Tower, she might know some information, but her sources would not be as reliable as an elder's.

Soon, Ling Feng arrived at the familiar Dan Ding Grand Hall again. When he first joined the Dongling Immortal Pool, he had publicly taught the elders alchemy techniques here.

Because of that, Ling Feng held extremely high status in the Dan Ding Grand Hall. All the elders treated him as Master Ling rather than an ordinary outer sect disciple.

"Senior Brother Ling!"

An outer sect disciple who walked toward him quickly greeted him respectfully. The disciples of the Dan Ding Grand Hall respected Ling Feng greatly because his improvements to alchemy methods had freed them from heavy daily workloads.

Ling Feng nodded and quickly stopped the disciple.

"Wait. I'm looking for Master Ye Xiong. Where is he? Take me to him."

The disciple nodded repeatedly and soon led Ling Feng to an alchemy room where Ye Xiong was found.

"Master Ling, you're finally back!"

Ye Xiong was instructing a disciple in alchemy. Ever since receiving Ling Feng's guidance, Ye Xiong's temper had improved greatly. He was no longer the Black Abyss Executioner he once was. Although he still had a bit of a temper, he was much better than before.

Especially in front of Ling Feng, he behaved as gently as a cat.

Seeing Ling Feng return, Ye Xiong rushed forward.

"The disciples who went to support the Hall of War returned long ago. You really made all of us wait a long time."

Ling Feng smiled and patted Ye Xiong's shoulder.

"By the way, Ye Xiong, do you know what happened in the sect recently? I was training outside, but when I returned to Xianyao Pavilion, I heard some outer disciples mention it."

Ye Xiong sighed, and worry appeared on his face.

"It's about the situation at East Immortal River. Master Ling, you haven't been at the Dongling Immortal Pool for very long, so you might not know this. East Immortal River is actually the largest elemental stone mine vein of our Dongling Immortal Pool. A sect this large cannot operate without medicinal pills, elemental stones, and elemental crystals. If something happens to the mine vein, it affects the entire sect."

Ling Feng nodded. He understood this very well. Even maintaining a small Divine Ling Sect had forced him to constantly gather wealth in the early days, and he still felt short on resources until he moved a spirit vein beneath the sect. If even a small sect needed so many resources, then a massive force like the Dongling Immortal Pool would need far more.

For a sect, an elemental stone mine vein was basically its lifeline and was directly tied to its operation.

However, the Dongling Immortal Pool was the number one sacred land in the Dongling Region. Who would dare target their mine vein?

Ling Feng was very surprised and immediately asked,

"What happened?"

"An enemy invaded and tried to seize the mine vein," Ye Xiong said coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

"That seems unlikely."

Ling Feng frowned. Since the mine vein was so important, there should have been many experts guarding it. Ordinary factions would never dare provoke the Dongling Immortal Pool like this.

"Ye Xiong, which faction is trying to seize it?" Ling Feng asked, but three words had already appeared in his mind.

Blood Shadow Alliance.

Within the Dongling Region, there were three great sacred lands. Even if the Wulei Sacred Land and Yunluo Sacred Land were secretly at odds with the Dongling Immortal Pool, they still would not openly seize its mine vein.

The only force with both the courage and the strength to do this was probably the Blood Shadow Alliance.

"Blood Shadow Alliance," Ye Xiong said slowly.

As expected.

Ling Feng's pupils shrank slightly. The Blood Shadow Alliance truly had guts to challenge the Dongling Immortal Pool directly.

However, if they had this strength, why seize the mine now and not earlier or later? Why choose this particular moment to attack East Immortal River?

There had to be something more behind this.

Ling Feng suddenly recalled what Elder Gui had once told him. Chaos had already begun in the Dongling Immortal Pool, and he was the one destined to appear in this era.

Could it be that everything Elder Gui predicted was about to become reality?
