The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1445: Fifty Thousand War Points

All eyes turned toward Saint Lady Hui Yue.

Ling Feng held his breath and waited for her answer.

She glanced at him once, her expression unchanged, and spoke calmly.

"Yes. It is true."

"Phew..."

Ling Feng let out a long breath.

At least this woman had not repaid kindness with betrayal!

Saint Lady Hui Yue gave a quiet snort in her heart. This settled the debt she owed him. From now on, she owed him nothing!

The elders exchanged looks, each one stunned.

None of them could understand why a dignified figure like Saint Lady Hui Yue would appear in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss, much less become involved with a mere disciple like Ling Feng.

After thinking it through, a conclusion quickly formed.

It must have been with Saint Lady Hui Yue's help that Ling Feng managed to kill four Barbarian Divine Guard.

That explanation made everything seem reasonable.

With her strength, killing Barbarian Divine Guards would not be difficult at all.

What puzzled them more was why she would step in to help Ling Feng, even assisting him in claiming such a great merit.

What exactly was the relationship between these two?

Their gazes shifted between Ling Feng and Saint Lady Hui Yue.

They recalled how Ling Feng had looked the moment he entered the hall and saw her. That reaction had been far too emotional to be normal.

It gave off a rather suggestive impression!

Of course, no one dared say such thoughts out loud. Saint Lady Hui Yue was not someone they could afford to offend.

"So it was with Hall Master Hui Yue's assistance. That explains things."

Supreme Elder Xu nodded and looked at Ling Feng again.

"Since Hall Master Hui Yue has testified for you, killing four Barbarian Divine Guards is no small achievement. You will be rewarded accordingly."

Commander Cai frowned slightly, but with Saint Lady Hui Yue having spoken, he had nothing more to say.

In his eyes, Ling Feng had only obtained those tokens by relying on her strength. Nothing more than someone living off another's power.

Most of the elders present thought the same.

None of them knew that Saint Lady Hui Yue had only survived because Ling Feng stepped in. Naturally, she would never bring up something so embarrassing herself.

"Supreme Elder Xu, here are the final statistics for this mission. Please review them."

Commander Cai handed over a thin booklet.

Supreme Elder Xu took it and flipped through it. When he saw that even the barbarian general Aluyin had been killed by Ling Feng, he stroked his beard and smiled with approval.

"Excellent. Truly a promising young talent. No wonder Hall Master Hui Yue favors you."

He paused before continuing.

"Since you have taken the top merit in this mission, I will not go back on my word."

With that, he took out the Astral Dragon Shield from his dimensional spirit ring and laughed.

"Ling Feng, from today onward, this shield belongs to you."

"Thank you, Supreme Elder!"

Ling Feng bowed deeply.

This shield could block attacks from Great Emperor experts. At a critical moment, it could save his life. It was an extremely valuable defensive treasure.

"Additionally, killing a barbarian general earns ten thousand war points! Each Barbarian Divine Guard earns another ten thousand!"

The hall erupted in shock.

Fifty thousand war points!

That amount of wealth surpassed even some of the elders present!

"Ling Feng, you now have enough to qualify for accessing the emperor-tier War Treasury. I will make an exception and grant you entry."

Supreme Elder Xu smiled faintly and glanced at Saint Lady Hui Yue.

This privilege was normally reserved for high-ranking elders and the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes.

He clearly assumed Ling Feng was someone she valued, which was why he rewarded him so generously.

What he did not know was that Saint Lady Hui Yue was grinding her teeth in frustration.

Because of her position, Ling Feng had gained a huge advantage. It left her deeply dissatisfied.

Worse, this favor would eventually be counted as something she had given him.

The thought alone irritated her.

"Thank you, Supreme Elder!"

Ling Feng was overjoyed.

War points were one thing, but access to the emperor-tier War Treasury meant he could choose from treasures of a much higher grade.

That was a massive gain!

"Truly a young hero!"

"Haha, just look at Ling Feng. You can tell he is destined for greatness."

"..."

The elders all began praising him.

Most of them were only doing it out of respect for Saint Lady Hui Yue. Their words sounded sincere, but their thoughts were not.

The more they praised Ling Feng, the more irritated Saint Lady Hui Yue became.

That brat had gained everything without effort.

Only Zuo Feiqing felt something was off.

He still remembered the incident at the Dongling Immortal Pool. Back then, Saint Lady Hui Yue had clearly been hostile toward Ling Feng. She had even tried to drive him out.

Yet now she was openly supporting him.

He could not make sense of it.

A woman's thoughts were truly impossible to predict!

...

At the disciples' residence.

Inside a spacious cave dwelling, several disciples gathered in the main hall, discussing the situation.

"What? They actually took Brother Ling away? This is outrageous!"

Lin Mu jumped to his feet in anger.

"There is no way Brother Ling is lying. He always speaks plainly. If he says he can kill Barbarian Divine Guards, then he can!"

"True. That guy is a complete monster," said Feng Ling, leaning lazily against a stone pillar.

"Still, what exactly are Barbarian Divine Guards? Why did the elders change their attitude the moment they heard about them?"

She did not seem too worried. In fact, there was a faint hint of amusement in her tone.

It was rare to see Ling Feng run into trouble.

"The Barbarian Divine Guard are mysterious guards stationed at the Barbarian God Temple," said Chu Tiange with a sigh.

"All of them are at least at the fifth level of the Divine Destiny Realm. It is no surprise the elders do not believe it. Even I find it hard to accept."

He shook his head.

"I just do not know where Ling Feng got those tokens."

"Maybe during the days he went missing, he encountered those Barbarian Divine Guards and killed them," guessed Li Fei.

"I still think he would not fake merit," said Fairy Qingping, her brows slightly furrowed.

"If he wanted to cheat, he would never use something so eye-catching. That is not his style."

"Hehe. Senior Sister Yu, I did not expect you to understand me so well."

At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside the cave.

Everyone turned at once.

A figure in white strolled in casually.

It was none other than Ling Feng!
