The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1578: East Immortal River

"Ever since the beginning, the Blood Shadow Alliance has been secretly opposing our three Great Sacred Lands. They were never this brazen before though. Now they actually dare to openly seize the mining veins at East Immortal River. They really think no one can touch them!"

Ye Xiong spoke with righteous anger, not noticing the change in Ling Feng's expression as he kept cursing the Blood Shadow Alliance for their arrogance.

"So the sect summoned disciples back earlier in order to send reinforcements to East Immortal River?"

Ling Feng asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Ye Xiong nodded. "This time the Blood Shadow Alliance made a big move. Even the Sect Master was alarmed. Saint Lady Hui Yue personally led several Inner Sect elders to reinforce the area five days ago. Many elite disciples from the sect were also transferred to East Immortal River."

At this point, Ye Xiong showed a relaxed smile. "With Saint Lady Hui Yue taking action, those Blood Shadow Alliance scum won't pose much of a threat. Master Ling, you can rest easy."

Ling Feng nodded slightly. With Saint Lady Hui Yue's terrifying strength, there really should not be any major problems if she was personally involved.

Although Elder Gui had insisted that he was some chosen one of destiny, the Dongling Immortal Pool alone had late Great Emperors, peak Great Emperors, and even Half-Saint experts. With so many powerful figures around, all of whom were far stronger than him, if even they could not handle the situation, there was no way it would fall to him to save the Dongling Immortal Pool.

"Oh right, I haven't congratulated you yet, Master Ling. I heard that you achieved the greatest merit in the Hall of War this time. The sect will definitely reward you, and you'll even receive a promise from the Sect Master. From now on, your rise will be unstoppable!"

Ye Xiong looked at Ling Feng with admiration. In just half a year since joining the sect, Ling Feng had risen from a minor outer sect disciple to one of the most talked about figures in the Dongling Immortal Pool.

Such a growth rate was practically unheard of in the history of the Dongling Immortal Pool.

"Just luck," Ling Feng replied with a modest smile.

"You have no idea how much face you brought to us outer sect disciples this time. Because of you, the Inner Sect has already slightly lowered the requirements for outer sect disciples to be promoted. They don't want to miss any talented outer sect disciples anymore."

Excitement flashed in Ye Xiong's eyes. "This proves that the higher-ups have finally acknowledged that the outer sect can produce geniuses too!"

"That's a good thing." Ling Feng nodded with a smile. Many outer sect disciples might have slightly worse innate talent, but diligence could make up for shortcomings. It did not mean they would never have a chance to rise.

"Oh right..."

Ling Feng thought for a moment before asking, "Did Lin Mu from the Earth Spirit Hall participate in this operation as well?"

"Heh, Young Master Lin really understands you. He said that once you came back, you would definitely ask me about this."

Ye Xiong grinned. "He did go to East Immortal River. Fairy Li Fei and Fairy Feng Ling went as well. The team leader seems to be Chu Tiange, who is ranked in the top twenty of the Creation Star Ranking. Young Master Lin also said that if you came back, you should hurry over. A team can't be missing its soul."

"That guy."

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. Since the Sunset Heaven Selection had not officially begun yet, there was no point staying idle in the sect. He might as well go support Lin Mu and the others. The Blood Shadow Alliance was moving aggressively this time, and there might be some hidden scheme behind it. Saint Lady Hui Yue was strong, but if she fell into a trap, she might not be able to ensure everyone retreated safely.

"Alright then. I'll make a trip to East Immortal River."

Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling that the Blood Shadow Alliance's operation this time might have some other purpose behind it.

No matter what, it would be better to go there personally.

As for claiming his reward from the Sect Master, that could wait until he returned. After all, the dignified leader of a sect would not go back on his word.

"Mm. There's a dedicated teleportation passage from the Dongling Immortal Pool to East Immortal River. Master Ling, you can go directly through the teleportation array."

Ye Xiong nodded as he spoke.

"Alright, I'll head to the teleportation platform now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Feng's figure flashed and he flew out of the Dan Ding Grand Hall.

...

Before long, Ling Feng arrived at the central region between the Heaven and Earth realms. Giant teleportation platforms stood everywhere. Important strategic locations were usually connected by specially constructed two-way teleportation arrays.

However, because the Blood Shadow Alliance had suddenly attacked the East Immortal River camp, the teleportation array there had already been disabled. They could only teleport to the nearest town and then travel the rest of the way on foot. Even so, it still saved a lot of time.

When Ling Feng arrived at the teleportation platform, many disciples were coming and going. Among them were quite a few injured disciples who had just been teleported back from the East Immortal River area.

"Damn it, those Blood Shadow Alliance guys are really ruthless!"

"We thought that once Saint Lady Hui Yue made her move, she would wipe out those evil cultivators immediately. Who would have thought they set up some strange sinister formation? Even Saint Lady Hui Yue suffered quite a loss!"

"I heard the first two groups that entered the mining veins at East Immortal River suffered heavy casualties. We're lucky just to have made it back alive!"

Hearing the discouraged conversations of the Inner Sect disciples as they stepped off the teleportation platform, Ling Feng could not help frowning slightly.

If that was the case, then Lin Mu and the others were probably not in a good situation either.

Just as Ling Feng was about to step forward to ask for more information, a figure in green suddenly flew over and blocked several Inner Sect disciples.

"How is the situation at East Immortal River? What about Senior Brother Qin? He didn't run into an ambush, did he?"

"Q Qingping Fairy!"

The disciples were instantly flattered when they recognized her. They had not expected to actually speak with the famous Qingping Fairy of the sect.

"Answer my question!"

Qingping Fairy frowned deeply and grabbed one disciple by the arm, clearly extremely worried about the Unrivaled Young Emperor.

"I I don't know. After entering the mining veins, most of us got separated. If Saint Lady Hui Yue hadn't rescued us, we would probably all be dead. Ah, that hurts!"

The Inner Sect disciple felt like his wrist was about to be crushed in her grip.

"Senior Sister Yu, let go."

This scene happened to fall into Ling Feng's sight. His figure flashed forward, and with a flick of his finger he knocked Yu Qingping's hand away. He shook his head slightly. "If you don't let go, this senior brother will end up even more injured."

"Ling Feng?"

Qingping Fairy looked up and saw that Ling Feng had returned. She bit her lip slightly, then glanced at the disciple and said in a low voice, "Sorry."

"It's fine, it's fine!"

When the disciple heard Qingping Fairy apologize to him, he was so flustered that he almost forgot where he was.

"Senior Sister Yu, we meet again."

Ling Feng nodded toward Qingping Fairy. He had not expected that the first familiar face he would meet after returning to the sect would be Yu Qingping.

"Hmph. I'm not particularly happy to see you."

Yu Qingping bit her lip. Ling Feng had insisted on opposing her Senior Brother Qin, yet he had also saved her life several times. Her feelings toward him were extremely complicated.

"Then we'll part ways here."

Ling Feng shrugged and leapt onto one of the teleportation platforms.

"Wait!"

At that moment, Yu Qingping also flew over and looked at Ling Feng seriously. "You you're going to East Immortal River too, right?"

"That's right. I am going to East Immortal River," Ling Feng replied calmly. "Lin Mu and the others are there, and they might be in danger."

"Then..." Qingping Fairy clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "Take me with you."

"You really are a clingy fairy," Ling Feng said with a helpless smile. "Wherever I go, you want to follow?"

"Hmph!" Yu Qingping glared at him. "I'm not following you. I'm going to East Immortal River to find Senior Brother Qin!"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly. "Suit yourself. If you want to come, then come."

The situation at East Immortal River was unclear. If he let this woman run around on her own, she would probably not find anyone and might just get herself killed instead.

Only then did Yu Qingping finally smile. After spending so much time around Ling Feng, how could she not know that he always spoke harshly but had a soft heart underneath. Deep down, he was actually a good person.
