The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1592: You're Not Worth It

Ling Feng casually glanced at Elder Cang Yue and replied in a calm tone, "It was I who dealt with those Blood Shadow Alliance disciples just now. As for whether the Sect Master has sent reinforcements, I have no idea. I only heard that something happened at Dongxianchuan, so I came to help our fellow disciples."

Xu Xinghe and the inner sect disciples felt their eyelids twitch.

This Junior Brother Ling Feng really was something else.

No wonder he took first merit on the Hunting Battlefield.

"It was really you?"

Elder Cang Yue first showed disbelief, then nodded, her eyes flickering as she said urgently, "Good. You and Qingping will escort me out of the Forbidden Domain at once."

Ling Feng shook his head, his expression cold. "Sorry, Elder. I still have to rescue others. You should find a hidden place and wait. Once I bring the others out, we can regroup."

If not for her status as a high-ranking elder, he would not have bothered responding at all.

Elder Cang Yue's face darkened slightly. She suppressed her anger and snapped, "Get me out first. The situation below the vein is complicated. You'll only be throwing your life away if you go!"

Fairy Qingping felt uneasy. Elder Cang Yue held a high position. If they disobeyed, there would surely be consequences once they returned to the sect.

"Forgive me, but I cannot comply."

Ling Feng sneered inwardly. This old woman simply wanted him to ensure her safety. She was dreaming.

She might be a sixth-level Divine Destiny expert, but in Ling Feng's eyes, her life was not even worth a fingernail compared to Lin Mu and the others.

"How dare you! I hold the highest authority here. You will obey my orders!"

Elder Cang Yue frowned deeply, her tone full of arrogance, as if a mere disciple had no right to defy her.

"Hehe."

Ling Feng cast her a cold glance and turned to leave without another word.

He had already shown her enough respect. If she insisted on forcing him with her authority, then there was no need for him to be polite.

After all, he was one of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes. He was not without standing in Dongling Immortal Pool. He had taken first merit in the Hall of War, and even the Sect Master owed him a favor.

If he chose to become a direct disciple of the Sect Master, his status would rise immediately. Even an elder like Cang Yue would not be worth much in comparison.

"You! Get back here!"

Elder Cang Yue trembled with anger, her voice sharp. If not for Xu Xinghe supporting her, she might have collapsed on the spot.

Ling Feng ignored her and continued heading toward the canyon.

"Good, very good! So you think you can ignore the sect elders now that you're in the Forbidden Domain?"

Her face turned grim. She had already heard of Ling Feng's rebellious nature. Ever since he trespassed into the Illusory Moon Divine Hall and was expelled by Saint Lady Hui Yue, most people from that hall looked down on him.

Now that she had seen him herself, she regarded him as nothing but a heretic. Once they returned, she would make sure he paid for this.

"Good! Very good!"

Seeing that Ling Feng did not even pause, she gnashed her teeth and shouted, "You ungrateful little bastard! If you have the guts, don't come back to the sect!"

Ling Feng suddenly stopped.

A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He had saved her life, yet she offered no gratitude. Instead, she called him a bastard.

Ling Feng slowly turned around. His gaze was icy as it locked onto her.

"Watch your mouth, old woman. I may not be some great figure, but I'm not someone you can trample on. You're not worth it."

The surrounding disciples all sucked in a breath.

As expected of Ling Feng. He dared to speak to Elder Cang Yue like this.

She was a sixth-level Divine Destiny expert.

Ling Feng did not care in the slightest. Sixth level or not, elder or not, this was the Forbidden Domain, and she was seriously injured.

Killing her outright in front of so many disciples might not be realistic, but giving her a harsh lesson was well within his means.

As for retaliation later, he was not concerned. Elder Gui, one of the Three Half-Saints, backed him, and the Sect Master owed him a favor.

He had not feared Saint Lady Hui Yue back then. Why would he fear Cang Yue now?

"You insolent brat! How dare you show me such disrespect!"

Elder Cang Yue glared at him furiously.

"Those who insult others invite insult in return," Ling Feng said coldly. "You act without dignity and abuse your seniority. Why should I show you any respect?"

"Outrageous! This is outrageous!"

Her lips trembled with anger. "You little bastard, once I return to the sect, I will report you to the Sect Master for defying your elders and betraying the sect!"

Xu Xinghe forced a bitter smile and glanced at Ling Feng.

He knew Ling Feng valued loyalty above all else. With Lin Mu and the others still trapped below, how could Ling Feng abandon them just to escort Elder Cang Yue to safety?

In her desperation, she had revealed an ugly side. She tried to pressure him with her authority and even threatened him with the Sect Master.

Following such an elder was not easy.

"Let's go! Do you think I would beg a rebellious disciple like you!"

Elder Cang Yue barked sharply.

Xu Xinghe shrank back, hurriedly lifting her onto his back. He shot Ling Feng an apologetic look before heading into the stone forest.

The other disciples followed as well. Whether they chose to stay with her or not could be decided after leaving this place.

At that moment—

Two Blood Shadow Alliance disciples returned from patrol.

"Damn it. That Ling Feng still got away."

"No choice. Even taking a shortcut, it took us a full day and night to get there. It's normal that he escaped. Let's head back and assist Junior Brother Tianzhao. Once Elder Yuan and the others deal with Saint Lady Hui Yue, it'll be easy to take care of that brat."

"True. He's killed quite a few of our people these past few days. If we run into him, we might not make it out alive."

"Exactly. Our Blood Thunder and Blood Flames make short work of ordinary Dongling Immortal Pool disciples, but they're not as effective against body refinement cultivators. Our elemental force is sealed too. I still can't figure out how that brat built such brute strength. One punch forced Hall Master Di back. That kind of power is insane."

As they spoke, the two stepped into the stone forest.

They ran straight into Elder Cang Yue's group.

Both sides froze for a moment.

Then they recognized each other.

Enemies.

"So there are still so many Dongling Immortal Pool disciples alive!"

Tension rose instantly.

In the next moment, the two Blood Shadow Alliance disciples suddenly realized something was wrong.

All the Blood Shadow Alliance members stationed in this canyon area were gone.

Their expressions changed drastically.

"Damn it!"

The gaunt man on the left narrowed his eyes and locked onto Elder Cang Yue on Xu Xinghe's back. He immediately assumed she had used some powerful technique to wipe out everyone here.

But it was obvious she had paid a heavy price, which explained her current weakness.
