Free Web NovelChapter 2420: Chapter 2419: Ambush
Ling Feng felt that Mo Yan’s behavior was very off!
It felt just like luring the tiger away from the mountain!
Most of Lingjian Mountain’s Fourth Grade Disciples were gathered here; if they left, what would happen if Lingjian Mountain ran into danger?
Thinking of this, Ling Feng really wanted to reveal himself on the spot and shout for everyone to stop.
But after hesitating for a moment, he still didn’t show himself.
Doing that would be way too reckless.
Mo Yan hadn’t exposed his identity, and Ling Feng had no solid proof to prove he was an inside man.
And if he rashly showed himself now, the fact that he’d been tailing Mo Yan would be exposed.
If he couldn’t stop Mo Yan from taking people away, he would instead become everyone’s target, the one smeared with dirty water!
With that in mind, Ling Feng kept silent.
But now he suddenly fell into a dilemma, not knowing whether he should continue tailing them or stay behind.
Without knowing Mo Yan’s goal, he couldn’t make a decision.
Because it was possible Mo Yan wanted to leave Lingjian Mountain defenseless, but it was also possible he was taking most of the Fourth Grade Disciples somewhere to walk right into the Dark Domain’s ambush!
Both possibilities existed.
Watching Mo Yan already lead the crowd into the air, heading due north, Ling Feng clenched his teeth.
He still decided to follow.
If Lingjian Mountain was attacked, at least there were still Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu, and the Elders.
But who could these Fourth Grade Disciples count on?
If they fell into the Dark Domain’s trap, all of them would die!
Having made up his mind, Ling Feng followed behind them, keeping a distance of over a thousand meters, trailing far to the rear.
Just like that, the group in front flew north all the way, and Ling Feng tailed them all the way behind, quickly leaving Lingjian Mountain’s range far behind.
After flying for a long time, the snowy mountains were already close at hand.
Seeing them all descend one after another, Ling Feng’s heart suddenly tightened.
Whatever Mo Yan was planning, the answer was about to be revealed.
He didn’t rush to land, instead remaining in midair, watching them fall onto a huge plain at the foot of the snowy mountain.
Ling Feng’s attention was all on the ground, but to his surprise, at this moment a tremendous pressure suddenly descended from above him!
"Not good!"
Shouting once, Ling Feng looked up and saw a massive circular object pressing down from the sky above!
The sense of pressure was coming from that thing.
It was something with an extremely large surface area, and it was impossible to see what exactly it was; in any case, it was countless times bigger than the Ling Yun starship, giving people the feeling it was blotting out the sky and sun!
At this moment, the people on the ground also sensed the pressure; they all raised their heads to look and took up defensive stances.
In just the blink of an eye, Ling Feng suddenly felt a barrier appear between heaven and earth!
Not only between the black object above and the ground below; it seemed the surrounding space could no longer be broken through.
To verify his guess, Ling Feng leaped and flew toward the distance, and in a moment he slammed into something soft!
It was a gas wall.
Back in the Xuanling Realm, he had encountered something like this before as well.
"So it really is a trap!"
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Mo Yan and the others on the ground.
Nearly a hundred people were standing there; they all looked a bit nervous now, everyone except Mo Yan, whose face was perfectly calm, as if he didn’t care about this sudden development at all.
Ling Feng thought for a moment and still didn’t reveal himself immediately, instead carefully feeling his way closer.
But when he was still over a hundred meters away, Mo Yan suddenly spoke: "Ling Feng, you can show yourself now!"
"Hm?"
Ling Feng’s heart clenched, and he froze on the spot.
"I know you followed us here. Why are you standing there staring at me?" Mo Yan said, looking in his direction.
"..."
Ling Feng was speechless.
This clearly wasn’t him bluffing; he really could see him!
Thinking it over, Ling Feng deactivated the Ring’s Invisibility ability, then stepped forward. "What’s going on?"
"These days, the one who’s been tailing me all along—that was you, right?" Mo Yan asked coolly.
Ling Feng paused, then a spark flashed through his mind!
Before this, Mo Yan had never actually seen him, only sensed he was being followed.
But today was different—he suddenly had the ability to see Ling Feng!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Yeah, it was me. Senior Brother Mo Yan, you suddenly managed to see through my Invisibility—did that black-clothed man from last night give you something?"
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Ling sure is sharp. I only said one sentence and you already jumped straight to the key point!"
Mo Yan burst out laughing, then nodded. "That’s right, you actually guessed it right!"
"Oh? And who is that person? Why did you bring everyone here—what’s the point of all this?" Ling Feng asked.
"The point is you, of course."
Mo Yan’s expression turned gloomy. "Ever since you arrived at Lingjian Mountain, you’ve turned this place into a foul mess, brought in a huge amount of addictive stuff, and are trying to plunder our resources. With all this, Lingjian Mountain can no longer tolerate you!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What’s that supposed to mean? Is this your own idea, or were you instructed by the Elders? I originally thought these Fourth Grade Disciples were tricked into coming by you; but now it seems they’re actually your accomplices?"
At his question, many Fourth Grade Disciples froze.
But Mo Yan just chuckled. "Of course not. This is just my personal idea and has nothing to do with them. These people were just brought along in passing, that’s all!"
As soon as he finished, he suddenly raised his palm over his head, and a streak of red light shot straight into the sky, striking that black object above.
Immediately afterward, Ling Feng saw many round holes open up on the surface of that black thing, and one black dot after another flew out from within!
"Everyone, be on guard!"
A Fourth Grade Disciple shouted.
Mo Yan sneered. "Against Level Two killers from the Dark Domain, and you still think you can ’be on guard’?"
With his cold laugh, several Fourth Grade Disciples suddenly attacked the people beside them!
Shocked cries and screams rang out at the same time!
"Stop it!"
Ling Feng could see it now: among these people, only a few were Mo Yan’s cronies; most of them were in the dark.
Seeing the scene descending into chaos, he immediately summoned Jin Gang, Little Hei, and the others!
Mo Yan and his followers instantly retreated more than ten meters!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had formed two opposing camps.
"I knew you weren’t simple. I didn’t expect you to have so many helpers!" Mo Yan said with a cold smile.
Ling Feng looked at him. "Mo Yan, you collude with people from the Dark Domain and attack your own sect mates, and after all the respect everyone gave you, this is what you do."
"What do you mean I’m the one attacking them? Clearly it’s you who secretly followed us and launched a sneak attack, getting a large number of our Fourth Grade Disciples killed!" Mo Yan said.
Ling Feng sneered at that. "I’ve seen your shameless act many times before. Tell me, doing something like this today—does it have anything to do with Feiyan?"
At that question, Mo Yan’s face instantly changed!
