The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1225: Black Widow

Not long after, the group stepped onto the small island. The moment they entered Misty Sea Volcano Island, Ling Feng felt a heavy pressure settle over him and he frowned at once.

"I didn't expect the mist to not only block spiritual consciousness but also be this oppressive."

Lan Yuhuang walked ahead of them. Elemental force flowed around her on its own and held back the weight of the mist.

When she heard Ling Feng, she glanced back with a small smile. "This is nothing. Reaching that place takes real effort. From what I know, even a Human Emperor expert cannot claim full certainty of crossing this mist and arriving there safely."

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. If even a Human Emperor could be stopped, then this alternate path into the Sea of Miracles carried quite a high threshold!

After a moment of thought, Ling Feng spoke again. "Miss Lan, I hope you can keep my true identity secret for now."

"Hmph!" Lan Yuhuang gave a cold snort and shot him an annoyed glare. "Whether you are Ling Feng or Long Fei makes no difference to me. Grandaunt is not some loudmouth, I have no interest in spreading anything around. As for what happened last night, it should not have spread yet. The cultivators on Misty Sea Volcano Island should still be unaware. Although..."

She paused and glanced over Ling Feng. "You really hid yourself well, damned fatty. To fool the Murong Clan for so long beneath their noses is impressive."

If nothing else, Lan Yuhuang admired his nerve. His courage was enormous!

"Hehe!"

Ling Feng raised a brow and smiled lightly. "Miss Lan praises me too much."

"Hmph!"

Lan Yuhuang gritted her teeth and glared at him again. Seeing Ling Feng stand so close to Tuoba Yan only made her mood worse.

At that moment, a strange voice floated out from the fog. "I wondered who it was. So the Blood-Hand Venom Emperor also came!"

A black-robed woman stepped through the mist. Her attire was extravagant and regal. She wore a long black gown that shimmered faintly, a phoenix hairpin crowned her head and colorful ornaments hung by her ears. She lifted her chin slightly and looked down with a proud, mocking smile.

"I wondered who it was. Turns out it is you, you shameless Black Widow!"

Lan Yuhuang's eyes flashed with disgust as she spoke.

Black Widow?

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew the name. The creature was a spider known for deadly venom and for devouring the male after mating.

"Hmph!"

The black-robed woman stared at Lan Yuhuang with wide eyes, then sneered mockingly, "That is still better than being an old virgin who has never tasted a man!"

"You!"

Lan Yuhuang swept her hand and a mass of dark poisonous insects surged toward the Black Widow like a living tide.

The Black Widow was clearly a master of toxic arts as well. Eight spider-like limbs sprang from her back and she spat out a sheet of spider silk. A massive web dropped over the swarm and caught every one of Lan Yuhuang's poison insects.

"Blood-Hand Venom Emperor, try not to embarrass yourself with that level of skill!"

The Black Widow laughed with delight, then swept her gaze toward Ling Feng. Her voice softened into a teasing lilt. "My my. I did not expect the Blood-Hand Venom Emperor to enjoy such luck, what a handsome young man you have with you. Little one, do you want me to protect you instead? Lan Yuhuang will not be able to keep you safe on this island with her ability!"

"Hmph! Spare me your nonsense!"

Lan Yuhuang's eyes tightened. She glared at Ling Feng. "Fatty, if you are not afraid of dying, feel free to follow her!"

Ling Feng shook his head with a faint smile. The woman was indeed stunning, but the name Black Widow alone was enough to make sensible people avoid her.

Black Widow let out a cold laugh. "Lan Yuhuang, with your ability, you can barely protect yourself. Do you really plan to drag two burdens across the Bridge of Life and Death? You should let me help you."

She blinked at Ling Feng with a playful stare. "Little one, if you want a real backer, choose someone with power. Otherwise, you might not survive!"

"Oh."

Ling Feng nodded with a polite smile. "There is no need for Senior to trouble herself. I always show respect to my elders, how would I dare burden you with someone like me!"

"Hmph, you reject my generosity!"

The Black Widow's face twisted the moment she heard him call her an elder. Her brows nearly knotted together. In truth, she was not old. At a little over fifty, she was still considered young for a Human Emperor expert who could live four to five centuries.

She only seemed older when placed next to people like Ling Feng.

The Black Widow enjoyed seducing young cultivators. After she took them to bed, she often stole their vitality. That was why people called her "Black Widow".

She glared at Ling Feng ruthlessly. She remembered that the Bridge of Life and Death still waited ahead, so she forced herself to stop wasting energy here.

After all, while she was stronger than Lan Yuhuang, defeating her outright was not easy. Staying here would only drain her elemental force.

"Boy, I will remember you!"

She left that cold message, withdrew the eight spider limbs behind her, and leaped away into the fog.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

The moment she left, Lan Yuhuang burst into laughter and clutched her stomach. She raised a thumb at Ling Feng. "Well done, fatty. Did you see her face? It was darker than a burnt pot!"

Ling Feng pursed his lips and showed no concern. After spending so much time with Despicable Donkey, he had grown quite capable at sharp tongues.

Tuoba Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Sister Lan, what is that Bridge of Life and Death she mentioned?"

"You will know when we get there. Everything else is fine, but that bridge truly is a place where life hangs by a thread. You must treat it with absolute caution!"

Lan Yuhuang glanced at Ling Feng. She was not worried about him, but Tuoba Yan's presence, however, had not been part of her plans.

"Mhmm."

Tuoba Yan nodded. She had not liked Lan Yuhuang much at first, but the Black Widow's appearance had united the two of them for a moment.

Lan Yuhuang then turned to Ling Feng again. "Damned Fatty, you offended the Black Widow just now. That woman never lets grudges go. You must be careful."

"Heh, she's the one that should be careful."

Ling Feng shrugged. A Human Emperor expert sounded impressive, but someone like the Black Widow, who was only early tier, posed little threat in his eyes.
