The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1129: Grandaddy of Showing Off

"Hey, you people acted too fast. I did not even get the chance to test the power of the Bow of Yi!"

Ling Feng looked helpless. The man in the green hat had indeed reached the Human Emperor realm, but he had only just broken through. Among Human Emperors, he was the weakest of the weak.

Under normal circumstances, Ling Feng might not have been able to crush him directly. But if he had drawn the Bow of Yi and fired a few arrows, he could at least have held the man in check.

"You're too slow!"

Despicable Donkey spat at the corpse with disdain. "Trash like this dares to show off!"

"..."

The world fell silent.

Feng Chan, Fatty Huang, and Lan Yingying felt their worldview collapse. Since when had Human Emperors been reduced to mere trash?

Ling Feng did not hesitate to take the dimensional ring from the corpse's hand. However weak, the man had still been a Human Emperor. There had to be something worth keeping. Ling Feng never minded gathering more wealth.

After all, he had a sect to support. Any gain was worth taking.

"So poor!"

Ling Feng's brows tightened after checking the ring. "A disciple of the Tianluo Ancestor is actually this poor? These spoils are hardly enough to fill a tooth gap!"

Feng Chan's mouth twitched uncontrollably. First the man had died miserably at the hands of a black donkey, and now even his possessions were mocked as worthless.

Where was the dignity of a Human Emperor?

"Mr. Ling... I did not expect both of your spirit pets to be this strong..."

Feng Chan forced a smile. She had never imagined Ling Feng would possess such power.

"Oh, both of them are emperor level now. When the time comes to rescue Brother Feng, I believe I can play my part."

Ling Feng smiled lightly. Yet that very smile made him look unbearably like he was showing off.

Compared to the green hat man, Ling Feng and his demonic pets were truly the ancestors of showing off.

"Brother Ling, I never expected that after only a few days apart you would become this sharp. Young Master Feng will surely be saved this time!"

Fatty Huang laughed heartily, while Lan Yingying's eyes shone with delight. Both of them knew they had clung to a strong backer.

Only Tuoba Yan remained unmoved. She had long since grown used to Ling Feng's monstrous nature. Standing quietly to the side, she was as cold and aloof as ever.

"Fengling County is not far from Weiling City. We should hurry back to the Feng family. Once we gather the clan's elders, the Tianluo Ancestor will no longer be a threat!"

Feng Chan clenched her small fists. With that, she could finally save her elder brother.

"Very well."

Ling Feng nodded slightly. With the Feng family's strength behind them, he could relax somewhat. Still, he faintly sensed things would not go so smoothly.

After all, so much had happened in Weiling City, yet the sect leader of the Tiejian Sect had never shown his face. It was likely the old man had already taken the Feng family's patriarch back to Fengling County.

...

About half a day later.

After traveling at full speed, Ling Feng's group finally reached Fengling County City.

The city was more than five times larger than Weiling City. Even the aura of its gates alone put Weiling City to shame.

Once Feng Chan returned to Fengling County City, it was as though a dragon had returned to the sea. She visibly relaxed.

"Mr. Ling, our Feng family is in the northern part of the city. The land of this entire county belongs to us. Here you need not worry about the Tiejian Sect or Tianluo Island."

Feng Chan smiled as she introduced the city to Ling Feng. Toward this mysterious and powerful peer, who was also strikingly handsome, she could not help but feel a trace of admiration.

None of the so-called young talents she had seen before could compare to Ling Feng's leg hair.

In her heart, only her elder brother had ever been worthy of the title of outstanding man. And now there was another, Ling Feng.

"Mhmm." Ling Feng raised his brows. A family able to govern such a vast county must hold considerable status within the Tiansheng Empire.

"Hurry, we are almost home!"

Feng Chan quickened her pace to lead the way. But before they reached the Feng residence in the north, a group of armored city guards appeared, escorting a middle-aged man in green robes.

They moved straight toward them, clearly with hostile intent.

Feng Chan's expression immediately darkened.

"Second Young Miss, you are already the sect leader's twelfth concubine, yet you flirt with some pretty boy outside. Are you not being far too wanton[1]?"

The green-robed man's clothes resembled those of the green-hatted man, and his aura came from the same source. He was clearly another disciple of the Tianluo Ancestor. From his words, Ling Feng immediately recognized him as the sect leader of the Tiejian Sect.

Although he looked no more than forty or fifty, in truth he had already lived two or three centuries.

"Bah! You shameless bastard. I never agreed to marry you!"

Feng Chan's body trembled with fury. She glared at the sect leader, her brows drawn tight and her face clouded with grief.

"Heh, marriage is decided by parents and arranged through matchmakers. Second Young Miss, you already belong to me."

The sect leader, Qi Hongwu, sneered. His gaze swept past Feng Chan's companions before settling on Ling Feng. He gave a cold snort. "So this is the pretty boy you picked up? Tsk, tsk. I wonder if he is just a useless embroidered pillow!"

Feng Chan clenched her fists tightly. She moved her gaze to the people standing beside Qi Hongwu. Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle...

They were all pillars of the Feng family. Yet now they stood beside Qi Hongwu, letting him insult her.

What is happening?

Feng Chan felt as though the sky had collapsed. Why were her own family members obeying the sect leader of the Tiejian Sect?

"Grand Elder, do not believe that old bastard. He controlled Father with treachery and forced him to betroth me to him. And my elder brother fell into the clutches of Tianluo Island only because of the Tiejian Sect's schemes. He is the true culprit."

Feng Chan tried desperately to explain, but the elders and uncles remained unmoved.

The Grand Elder sighed softly and even stepped forward to persuade her. "Chan'er, there is no need to say more. Since the patriarch has already promised you to Sect Leader Qi, you should not run away. Be good and come home with us!"

"Hahaha..."

Qi Hongwu threw back his head in laughter. His lecherous eyes locked onto Feng Chan as he grinned viciously. "Did you hear that, my twelfth concubine? Now you know your fate is sealed. Even if you escaped from Weiling City, you will never escape my grasp!"

Feng Chan's face turned deathly pale.

Heavens, what has this world become?

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. Remembering the green-hatted man who had tried to take Feng Chan to Tianluo Island, he realized the Tianluo Ancestor had already laid out everything. No matter where she went, she would end up in his hands.

On the surface, it seemed the sect leader of the Tiejian Sect wanted to marry her. In truth, he only meant to deliver her to the Tianluo Ancestor.

The Feng family likely carried some hidden secret!

The attitudes of the Feng family members were plain to see. It was clear they had all been controlled by the same method as the family head.

Even those not directly controlled had no choice but to swallow their anger and obey the sect leader in such circumstances.
