The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1150: The Mysterious Expert

Before long, Ling Feng carried the unconscious black-clad girl out of the cabin and lightly tossed her into the arms of the Island Lord's wife. "She's fine now," he said flatly.

The Island Lord's wife examined her daughter closely. The girl remained unconscious, but her breathing was steady and her condition stable.

"She's only weak," Ling Feng said. "She'll recover fully within three days."

He tilted his chin toward the deck. "Our deal is done. You should be leaving. The ship's getting crowded, and with all these people, it might just sink."

The Feng Family elders exchanged awkward looks. His dismissal could not have been clearer.

The Island Lord's wife frowned, but forced a polite smile. "Young friend, that serpent also stole a token from my daughter. It belongs to Hailong Island. Would you return it?"

"I haven't seen any token," Ling Feng replied without hesitation. "The serpent has already been dealt with. We agreed that I'd handle it. You have no objections, do you?"

The Island Lord's wife almost spat blood.

Since stepping into the Human Emperor Realm, she had ruled the Tianlan Sea Region with absolute authority. Never had she suffered such humiliation.

Yet now, she had to swallow her pride before a mere Spiritual Element Realm junior.

Her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white. "None," she said through gritted teeth.

"Good." Ling Feng picked at his ear lazily and waved toward the horizon. "If that's settled, you may go."

"Go! Go!"

The Island Lord's wife gathered her daughter in her arms, flicked her sleeve sharply, and commanded, "We're leaving!"

The Hailong Island disciples looked at one another in confusion, but with their mistress already departing, they could only summon their seahorse beasts and follow. In moments, the group vanished into the distant sky.

Ling Feng shrugged. "At least she knows her place. Senior Feng, we've wasted enough time. Increase speed. Head for Tianluo Island at full pace!"

"Yes, yes!"

The Feng Family Patriarch nodded eagerly. His respect for Ling Feng had deepened even further. A youth who possessed a celestial artifact and two emperor level demonic beasts could already rival most Great Emperors!

...

Meanwhile, on a barren island not far away, the Island Lord's wife stood among her disciples, her face dark with fury.

"Madam," the Second Senior Brother said angrily, "that Tianlan Sea Token must be in that boy's hands!"

"You think I don't know that?" she snapped. "That brat is far more cunning than he looks."

"Then why not retrieve it? We're still within the Tianlan Sea Region. As long as we act discreetly..."

The Island Lord's wife spun and slapped him hard across the face. "Idiot! The Dongling Immortal Pool isn't some small Outer Sea faction we can provoke. That boy's master dared to give him a celestial artifact. Do you think he has no means of escape? If he survives, it will be Hailong Island that dies!"

"Yes, Madam!"

The Second Senior Brother spat out blood, clutching his swollen cheek. "Your lesson is well received," he muttered.

"Enough. We'll speak no more of this. Consider the Tianlan Sea Token a gift to that brat." The Island Lord's wife's tone turned bitter. "Damn it. The Venerable of the Desolate Sea only releases ten Tianlan Sea Tokens every hundred years, and Hailong Island finally managed to obtain one."

Even though she had decided to let it go, her heart still ached. If her daughter had used that token to enter the Sea of Miracles, she might have returned as a Human Emperor.

Just then, she noticed a small black speck streaking across the distant sky. It moved faster than sight itself, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Even with her Human Emperor level vision, she could barely register it. Just a blur, then gone.

"What speed is that?"

For a moment, she thought she was seeing things. But then, a faint killing intent brushed against her senses, cold and suffocating. It lasted only an instant, yet it made her heart pound uncontrollably. That feeling told her it was real.

An expert!

With strength beyond comprehension!

The Island Lord's wife drew a sharp breath. Within the Tianlan Sea Region, the Outer Sea Ten Sects stood at the top, and her cultivation ranked among the strongest. Yet the shadow she had just seen made her shiver.

Is that the protector behind that brat Ling Feng? If I tried to harm Ling Feng moments ago, that expert might not have just warned us but would have simply wiped us all out...

"R-Return to the island..." she finally said. Her voice trembled, and her legs felt weak beneath her.

The Hailong Island disciples exchanged confused glances. What could have frightened their mistress so badly?

The Dongling Immortal Pool was powerful, yes, but not enough to make her shake like this.

...

On the Sea-Calming Dragon Vessel, Ling Feng narrowed his eyes at the waves ahead. Tianluo Island loomed larger in the distance, and with every passing moment, his calm deepened.

Only one thought remained in his mind. Kill the Heaven-Patrolling Angel!

The Tianlan Sea Token, the Venerable of the Desolate Sea, none of it mattered now. He knew exactly what he was walking into, yet the urge to strike was irresistible.

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel was wounded, and this was his best chance to take one down. Even if he couldn't kill it outright, he would at least gauge the enemy's strength.

Besides, he knew the Heaven-Patrolling Angel couldn't leave Tianluo Island's inner region. If things went wrong, he could still escape.

He wasn't foolish enough to throw his life away.

"We're almost there," the Feng Patriarch said, pointing ahead. "About fifty li left. The reefs are too dense; we'll have to abandon the ship and fly the rest of the way."

"Finally!"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. The trouble with Hailong Island had delayed them nearly a full day, but it was not too late. The people of Tianluo Island likely hadn't yet realized their island lord was dead.

This was the perfect time to strike before they were prepared!
