The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1343: Sinister Intent

After a brief round of preparations, the group set out at once.

Ten earth-tier Tower Masters from the Mingjian Tower, three sky-tier Mingjian Tower Masters, along with Wang Ruquan and Li Fei from the Creation Star Ranking, plus three additional inner sect disciples, formed a party of eighteen. They turned into a distant speck and swiftly passed through the mountain gate barrier of the Dongling Immortal Pool, disappearing into the vast white snow beyond.

Roughly a day later, they arrived ten thousand li away from the Demon Heaven Snow Ridge. This was the Crystal Snow Mountain Range.

The leader of this mission was Wang Ruquan, an inner sect disciple ranked seventy second on the Creation Star Ranking.

The vice leader was Li Fei, who ranked ninety ninth on the Creation Star Ranking. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

However, Wang Ruquan was a man of few words. As a result, all matters of command and coordination naturally fell to Li Fei.

Although Li Fei was a woman, she carried herself with the bearing of a true heroine. Every movement showed decisiveness and confidence.

"Based on our intelligence, the enemy is entrenched in the southwest corner at Snow Wolf Valley. The valley is covered in snow year round and hides many concealed caves. We must enter the valley and search it area by area. To prevent them from detecting us and escaping, we will attack from two directions."

Li Fei quickly settled on a clear and sensible encirclement plan.

"Junior Sister Li Fei, take three inner sect juniors and block the rear of Snow Wolf Valley. There is only one narrow exit there. With you and the others, holding it will be more than enough."

Wang Ruquan spoke at last, and the moment he did, the decision was already made.

Ling Feng frowned slightly. Wang Ruquan was clearly using the outer sect disciples as bait. Once the enemies failed in a frontal clash and fled in panic, they would run straight into the inner sect's net.

All the merit would belong to the inner sect. The outer sect disciples would not even have a chance to compete for credit!

This was truly ruthless!

"As for the remaining outer sect disciples, you will follow me. Your task is to search Snow Wolf Valley section by section. If you discover any suspicious hiding places, release a signal immediately. I will arrive to capture or kill the enemy. Anyone who acts on their own will be treated as teaming with the enemy!"

Wang Ruquan spoke politely enough to Li Fei, but his words toward the outer sect disciples carried an unmistakable threat.

With tasks assigned, everyone split up and moved out.

Mo Sanqing glanced at Ling Feng before following Li Fei away. Yan Guying once again reminded Ling Feng to stay close to him and not fall behind.

Ling Feng felt somewhat restrained, but if contribution points were right in front of him, he would not let them slip away.

He could ignore other rewards, but Earth Emperor Tokens were different. The more, the better!

For Ling Feng, who had already begun to grasp yin-yang power, the yin-yang rules within the Earth Emperor Pool represented an extraordinary opportunity.

Half a day later, Wang Ruquan led the outer sect disciples into a region where the terrain dipped inward. A deep and shadowed valley unfolded before them.

"That is enough. Split up and search for anything suspicious. I will wait here for your signals."

Wang Ruquan stood calmly with his sword in his arms and issued his orders.

Yan Guying immediately led Ling Feng deeper into the valley.

Meng Guizang shot Ling Feng a sideways glance. Seeing him leave with Yan Guying, Meng Guizang snorted coldly and chose another route. He did not dare harbor any further schemes.

...

After Yan Guying brought Ling Feng into the snowy valley, he soon checked their surroundings. Seeing no one nearby, he pulled Ling Feng aside to a secluded spot and hid!

"Senior Brother Yan, what are you doing?"

Ling Feng's eyes gleamed as he pretended not to understand.

Yan Guying scanned the area cautiously and said in a low, cold voice, "That Wang Ruquan has a vicious nature. If all the outer sect disciples stayed together to search for the enemy's hiding places, we might still survive. But scattering us like this shows clear malicious intent."

"I have heard that Wang Ruquan cultivates an elemental force that does not belong to the five elements. It is the blood attribute! He is extremely sensitive to fresh blood."

Yan Guying's expression grew heavy as he continued, "If my guess is correct, he deliberately scattered us to use us as bait. Think about it. If we truly encounter an Extreme Human Emperor, how would we have any chance to send out a signal? He intends to use our blood as the signal!"

"Hmph!"

Yan Guying clenched his fist and snorted. "In his eyes, we are all expendable. As long as the inner sect disciples suffer no losses, the deaths of outer sect disciples mean nothing. The sect will not bother to pursue it. In the end, our lives become the price for their contribution points. They would not even need to give us that one tenth share! Despicable!"

Yan Guying did not dare openly defy Wang Ruquan, but he was not foolish enough to throw his life away.

He feared no ordinary enemy. An Extreme Human Emperor, however, was far beyond what he could handle.

What he did not know was that the teammate beside him had already activated Boundless Vision. Every detail within Snow Wolf Valley was now laid bare.

...

At the entrance of Snow Wolf Valley.

About half an hour later, Wang Ruquan still stood quietly at the mouth of the valley. His cold gaze was fixed on the heights above. He gripped a blood red longsword tightly, ready to strike the moment he sensed any surge of vitality.

"Let the others fight over the ordinary contribution points. As for the fifty thousand points from the enemy leader, those belong to me!"

The Sinister Wang Ruquan calculated silently in his heart.

Suddenly, his thick brows twitched sharply. He spun around and shouted harshly, "Who's there? Show yourself at once!"
