The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1273: The Murong Clan Faces Upheaval

"Of course. Certainly."

Ling Feng nodded. He suddenly noticed a massive old tortoise flying toward them from the western horizon. It was the divine turtle that had previously carried Lin Mu to Misty Sea Volcano Island.

The divine turtle shouted insults as it approached. "You rotten block of wood, get out here and bow to your grandpa turtle if you are still alive!"

Lin Mu spat in annoyance and shouted back. "You old bastard, I will stew you into soup sooner or later!"

Man and turtle continued cursing at each other as they traveled into the distance. Their voices eventually faded completely.

The divine turtle had clearly come to bring Lin Mu back to Dongling Immortal Pool.

"Big Boss Ling, do you want to return to Heaven's Illusion Island with your little brother? I am telling you, my elder sister is very beautiful."

Yang Huanzhi wiggled his brows energetically. He was obviously still determined to make Ling Feng his brother-in-law.

"Get lost!"

Ling Feng gave Yang Huanzhi a side-eye, then chuckled. "After this battle, I gained significant insights, so I plan to return to Tianhuang City first. I need to visit the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce to buy spiritual flowers and herbs, then refine some medicinal pills to aid my breakthrough into the Spiritual Sea Realm."

Since the Venerable of the Desolate Sea was already dead, Ling Feng no longer needed to hide. He could move freely through Tianhuang City. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Tianhuang City..." Yang Huanzhi originally wanted to accompany him.

Unfortunately, he had already promised to escort the survivors back to Heaven's Illusion Island. He let out a helpless sigh. "Very well. Big Boss Ling, once you advance to the king-tier, make sure you visit me on Heaven's Illusion Island."

Ling Feng smiled without giving a definite answer. Visiting Heaven's Illusion Island won't be an issue if I happen to pass by.

...

Elsewhere, within Tianhuang City, inside the Murong Mansion.

After the Venerable of the Desolate Sea led the Inner Sea Human Emperors toward the Sea of Miracles, the Murong Clan became completely silent.

However, with the Ice Emperor, the Thunder Emperor, and the Sea Emperor guarding the mansion, no petty characters dared set foot near it.

On a certain day, the Murong Mansion gate remained heavily guarded. A luxurious dragon carriage stopped before the entrance, the curtain was drawn, and an elderly man with white hair stepped out.

This elderly man was none other than the Ice Emperor, the one who had saved Murong Miao from Ling Feng's grasp that day.

Among the three Human Emperors, the Ice Emperor held the highest status. He also cared the most about appearances. Each time he traveled, his entourage was even more extravagant than that of the Venerable of the Desolate Sea himself.

When the Venerable of the Desolate Sea was present, he still restrained himself slightly. Now that the Venerable of the Desolate Sea had gone to the Sea of Miracles, the Ice Emperor felt free to flaunt openly.

A young man in black hurried over and helped the Ice Emperor down from the carriage while flattering him nonstop. "Grandfather, I have not seen you in a few days. Your spirit seems even more radiant!"

The fawning youth was none other than the Ice Emperor's direct grandson, Murong Miao.

At that moment, a graceful figure flew in from the far sky and landed awkwardly. Her face was pale and her spirit broken. She was Murong Zining, the granddaughter whom the Venerable of the Desolate Sea had died protecting!

"Gah!"

She coughed up a mouthful of blood the moment she struck the ground, the bright red stain immediately spreading across her clothes. The Ice Emperor spotted her instantly and rushed over in shock. "Young lady, what happened to you?"

Murong Zining had not sustained injuries while on Heavenly Pool Island. However, she was overcome by grief and rage following her grandfather's death, compounded by a bitter hatred for Ling Feng. This emotional turmoil caused her elemental qi to spiral out of control, resulting in internal backlash and injury.

Her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at the Ice Emperor. A single hot tear slid down her cheek. She suddenly shouted, "Out of my way. No one is allowed to disturb me!"

She vanished in a flash and sprinted toward the Murong Clan's ancestral hall. This area was heavily guarded and normally forbidden to all.

Now that the clan head was dead, she had lost her protector. If the clan's ambitious members discovered the truth, everything her grandfather left her would vanish.

However, she had still underestimated the shamelessness of her clan members.

Within the Murong Clan, all of them, led by the Ice Emperor, had chosen to betray the clan head's bloodline.

They forced Murong Zining to surrender all clan resources and the clan master's token.

Given her existing injuries and the fact that she stood alone against the clan, Murong Zining's outlook was grim.
