The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1420: We Cant Afford Your Favor

"Enough. All of you, stop!"

A sigh drifted over from afar. Yin Jian, the overall commander of this mission, finally opened his eyes and descended from his seated meditation. A trace of displeasure showed on his face as he glanced at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's strength had exceeded his expectations. If everyone attacked together, they might be able to take him down, but the price would be heavy casualties on their side.

They could not forget where they were. This was the Dead Soul Devil Abyss. Their true enemy was the remaining barbarian squad!

If it were only minor friction, Yin Jian could ignore it. But if things escalated and caused serious losses, it could jeopardize the entire mission.

At that point, as the commander, he could not remain silent.

"Have you all forgotten why you are here? If you fail to complete the mission assigned by Supreme Elder Xu, what face will you have left to return to the Hall of War?"

With just a few words, Yin Jian shut everyone up. No one dared to speak.

Even Su Ming, who had stirred everything up, clenched his fists and held back.

"That's enough. This ends here. No more internal fighting!"

Yin Jian looked at Ling Feng and took a slow breath.

"Junior Brother Ling, you should restrain yourself as well. From now on, without my command, you are not to attack your fellow disciples!"

Ling Feng sneered inwardly. Who started this in the first place? Is Yin Jian blind?

So this Yin Jian is no better than the rest.

Fine. Staying with this group would lead nowhere anyway. Better to part ways now.

"I said this matter is over. Everyone rest early. We move at dawn!"

Yin Jian snorted and flicked his sleeve before turning to return to his meditation.

Ling Feng gave a faint smile, not bothering to argue. He turned to Chu Tiange and the others.

"Senior Brother Chu, stay or leave, your choice."

Before he finished speaking, Li Fei stepped forward and stood beside him.

"Junior Brother Ling, I'll go with you."

Chu Tiange and Xu Xinghe exchanged a glance, then sighed.

"We are one team. Of course we move together. But are we really leaving now?"

They were not fools. After what happened today, the veteran elites would never treat them kindly again.

If anything, they would likely send them into danger and use them as expendable pawns.

"If we don't leave now, when will we? Wait until we are forced to be cannon fodder?"

Ling Feng shrugged and turned his gaze to Fairy Qingping.

"Senior Sister Yu, what about you?"

Since she had lent him one hundred war points earlier, Ling Feng no longer called her "Clingy Fairy". He showed her a bit more respect.

Fairy Qingping rolled her eyes and shot him an annoyed look.

"Do I even have a choice? You've made such a mess. If I stay, I would have to be an absolute fool!"

"Then let's go!"

Ling Feng moved first, his movement art carrying him into the distance. Chu Tiange and the others followed without hesitation. Though Chu Tiange was the team leader, Ling Feng was clearly the one making the decisions.

"What are you doing!"

Yin Jian frowned when he saw Ling Feng leading his teammates away from the main group.

He had already decided to make use of Ling Feng's strength to reduce losses among his own core members.

Yet Ling Feng did not even look back and simply left.

"Insolence! Ling Feng, how dare you ignore orders and leave the group!"

Anger surged in Yin Jian's eyes. He struck out with his palm, sending a crushing force toward Ling Feng from afar.

"Roar!"

Ling Feng unleashed Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength and shattered the incoming palm strike with a single punch. He threw his head back and shouted,

"Senior Brother Yin, don't make it sound so grand. We only formed a temporary alliance. Supreme Elder Xu never said you had full command over everyone. Our team is leaving on our own. What right do you have to stop us?"

"You!"

Yin Jian choked on his words.

From a technical standpoint, Ling Feng had not acted alone. He left with his team, and Chu Tiange, his direct leader, had gone with him.

"So, Senior Brother Yin, go command your own people. As for us, we can't afford to rely on you!"

Ling Feng let out a cold laugh. He glanced at Bai Qi and Kang Huailie's teams.

"You two should be careful as well. His own people will always come first. The rest of you are nothing but expendable!"

With that, Ling Feng and his group shot into the distance and soon vanished into the mist.

Bai Qi and Kang Huailie fell silent.

Ling Feng's words made sense, but they also knew their own limits. Without the main group, surviving in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss would be extremely difficult.

Yin Jian gritted his teeth in anger. He clenched his fists and shot Su Ming a cold glare.

"Useless. You ruin more than you accomplish!"

Su Ming felt bitter.

Who could have guessed Ling Feng would be this monstrous? He had been blinded by anger and completely forgotten the mission.

If he had known Ling Feng's strength earlier, he would have restrained himself and made better use of him in this place.

Still, Su Ming refused to admit defeat. He spoke through gritted teeth, "Senior Brother Yin, them leaving is their loss. Without your guidance, they won't be able to avoid the dangers hidden in the mist. They won't last more than three days in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss!"

Anyone familiar with Yin Jian knew that his reputation in the Land of War came from his gifted left eye. It could see through illusions and sense danger in advance.

With that ability, he could avoid threats and reduce risks significantly.

Especially in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss, this ability was invaluable.

That was the main reason they had avoided major danger over the past few days.

"Enough. Don't cause me more trouble!"

Yin Jian took a deep breath and suppressed his anger before sitting down again.

It was only Ling Feng. Losing him was no great loss.

From the beginning, he had never expected these newcomers to be of much use.

Since that was the case, he would simply act as if Ling Feng had never been part of the team.

Those who left his protection would only die faster!
