Chapter 804: Two great rivals!
“Demonic Wing Token!”
The experts from the Old God Cult were all startled by its appearance and involuntarily took a step back.
Though Xia Fei had not done this conspicuously, the action itself was still a great deterrent. Everyone knew what sort of outcome would follow the moment the token was smashed!
Xia Ling knitted his eyebrows slightly as he said in a low voice, “Is there a need? These people can hardly hold us.”
Xia Fei shook his head and said in a low voice, “It’s not that simple. This is all part of an intricately crafted conspiracy. For three Skywings to be implicated in the blink of an eye, I dare to believe that this is only the start to the Moonward Clan’s insane attempt at revenge.”
Xia Ling did not say another word. Having been lured into this situation was already frustrating enough, but if it had been truly such a large web to ensnare the clan and he was just a small part of it, then using the Demonic Wing Token would be a must in order to warn the clan.
Having been chased out of the Law Realm by the Skywing Clan, an undying enmity was formed between the Moonwards and the Skywings. Since they sought revenge, it was important for the Skywing Clan to be fully prepared!
Today was a very good example. There were just Xia Fei and Xia Ling, yet they ended up being surrounded by thirty-seven Law Emperor experts from the Old God Cult, and this had actually been Xia Fei inadvertently stumbling upon this set up. Otherwise, Xia Ling would have had to take on them solo!
The situation did not look optimistic at all!
“You plan to use your Demonic Wing Token?!” that barrel-chested baldy from the Old God Cult growled accusingly.
Demonic aura!
A great and unparalleled demonic aura suddenly erupted!
Xia Fei grimly sneered. “Since the Old God Cult wishes to become enemies with the Skywing Clan, I can’t think of any reasons to let you fools off! If you must know, you’re being used by the Moonward Clan, and they’re the ones truly behind the massacre of the Old God Clan!”
Xia Fei’s words fell on deaf ears. After all, he had no proof at hand, so there was no way he could verify the validity of his words.
Gritting his teeth, the barrel-chested baldie raised his voice. “Brothers! How many pairs of eyes are seeing this right now? If we back down and be cowards now, then we’ll be letting down our dead brothers and sisters! We’ll be disappointing our old cult leader!”
The crowd of Old God cultists clamored in approval as they came bearing down on the two Skywings, but Xia Fei and Xia Ling did not give their enemies’ numerical superiority any regard.
Actually, Xia Fei was unwilling to use the Demonic Wing Token unless their numbers reached into the tens of thousands. After all, this was a token that would mobilize the entire clan, and what the result of this would be a bloodfest!
However, these cultists had not given Xia Fei a chance to explain and were being totally aggressive, instead. Cultists would often be stubborn, and to these men, the act of desecrating their shrine with blood meant animosity that could not be offset!
Seeing the huge fight they had ahead of them, Xia Fei did not hesitate to evoke the Demonic Wing Token. That completely dark token flashed brightly!
Xia Ling was stunned and pulled out his own token from his spatial ring before saying, “Before we even used it, someone else has done so! Looks like the clan is in trouble!”
Xia Fei was momentarily startled. He had already expected this conspiracy to have been very intricately plotted and large-scale, targeting the entire Skywing Clan! It was just that he had not expected the chips to fall so soon. It was apparent that, besides the current predicament he was in, there were also other forces assaulting the clan, and someone else had hurriedly evoked the Demonic Wing Token before he could do it himself!
Xia Fei’s eyes went cold as he solemnly said, “Since our clan has already been plunged into a state of war, there’s nothing left to be said! Let’s get this over with and return to the Wind Garden!”
“Yeah!” Xia Ling nodded.
With the Demonic Wing Token activated, every member of the Skywing Clan must return immediately. Xia Fei had no wish to be held up by these bald men. Best to first head back, check in with the clan, and find out what exactly happened before discussing anything further.
“Stay close to me!” Xia Fei shouted as he went sprinting out toward the left flank.
Furball was the first to clear the path ahead, being the vanguard, while Peacock Blue held back their two sides. Xia Fei held the Blood Crystal in front as Xia Ling took up the rear. They were now attempting to break out of this encirclement!
“Don’t let them get away!”
“Kill them!”
This group of Old God cultists surged forward, everyone unleashing their ultimate techniques, bombarding the two madly!
Xia Fei and Xia Ling were not battle maniacs. Leveraging on their superior speed, they forcibly made their way out!
A Law Emperor of the Old God Cult was blocking Xia Fei’s route ahead. Seeing this, Furball just roared and abruptly accelerated!
*Bang!*
Like a bullet, Furball tore into that man’s chest and penetrated right through! Xia Fei had caught up at this point. With a single stab to the throat using his dagger, the cultist was instantly drained of his vitality!
Xia Ling was shocked by this. It had been months since he last saw Xia Fei. While the latter remained vicious with every move he made, the same could not be said about his cultivation, for he now seemed a lot stronger than before!
His Law of Speed was also even more overwhelming!
He was moving at such speed that he could simply come and go as he pleased!
Xia Fei and Xia Ling, who both had a speed of over two hundred fifty thousand meters per second, were able to dash out from the encirclement in the blink of an eye. Those Old God cultists were unwilling to just give up like that, though. Thus, those who knew the Law of Space used instantaneous movement techniques to block the way forward, in hopes of impeding the two Skywings!
*Whoosh*
A blurred figure flashed, and two Law Emperors from the Old God Cult appeared from out of nowhere, effectively sealing off Xia Fei and Xia Ling’s escape route.
The corners of Xia Fei’s lips formed a bemused sneer. Given his cultivation now, any enemy who was below Law Overlord would not be his match! These cultists who were attempting to stop him would simply be eliminated!
Silently channeling the disruptive law force from his Law of Primal Chaos, Xia Fei was about to strike his foes with the Falling Leaves of Twin Decimation when he noticed a mass of darkness making a beeline for him!
This person moved very swiftly, even faster than both Xia Fei and Xia Ling!
*Kaboom!*
Xia Fei could not make out how this person had attacked. All he saw was the two Old God cultists being sent flying as if they had been blasted away by a cannon! This newcomer actually used brute force to achieve this feat! It was akin to a wild bull borrowing the inertia of its charging speed to ram the two Law Emperors!
“Why are the both of you here?!” asked this person loudly in surprise.
Xia Fei and Xia Ling broke into laughter. It turned out that this was none other than the number one brute force user in their clan, level 8 Great Law Emperor Xia Mang! His personality was like a savage beast, brash and violent!
Xia Fei frowned as he asked sincerely, “Were you tricked?!”
“Yeah! How did you know?” Xia Mang’s expression turned into shock as he elaborated. “I was at the market and heard someone mentioning that there’s the Divine Beast Purplewind Skeletonfish out here. I followed him out of curiosity, only to learn that I was being fooled by him! He brought me to this foreign field, and then a bunch of baldies surrounded and attacked me, claiming that I desecrated their shrine!
“It’s such a great injustice being wronged like that! While it’s true that yours truly has always hated those d*mn cults and religions, I would never resort to killing them!”
Xia Fei did not reply to him right away. It seemed like the Skywing Law Emperor that the people from the Old God Cult had failed to catch up to was none other than Xia Mang.
“The Demonic Wing Token has been activated! Let’s head back home before we continue this conversation!” Xia Fei said.
…….
Wind Garden. The atmosphere in the place was a little tense. This was the first time in the history of the Skywing Clan that the Demonic Wing Token had been evoked twice and in half a year’s time in between at that.
*Zing zing zing—*
Xia Fei, Xia Mang, and Xia Ling passed through the gates one after another. They spotted Xia Wuye already in full-battle gear, awaiting order, looking very much like the Grim Reaper. He stood in the courtyard of the Wind Garden, one hand holding a pot of good tea as he waited for the pack wolves of the Skywing Clan to return.
“Wuye, who’s the one who activated the Demonic Wing Token? Just what exactly happened to the clan?” The impatient Xia Mang approached the butler and immediately began bombarding the latter with his questions.
Xia Wuye remained composed and collected as he answered, “It’s the patriarch himself who activated the token. He’s been cornered by two Law Overlords, and though he did manage to break out of the encirclement, he suffered light injuries from the encounter.”
Xia Fei was taken aback by this news as he wondered out loud, “To think that the Old God Cult would actually be so strong as to have two Law Overlords on their side!”
Xia Wuye shook his head. “The Old God Cult has always been strong. They recruited plenty of Sha elites. To be precise, they have two Law Overlords, one Super Law Overlord, and thirty-seven Law Emperors.
“And this is after their cult leader was assassinated, losing one Law Overlord as a result. Originally, the Old God Cult should have four Law Overlords. It is a very weird religion, letting the weakest Law Overlord be their leader.”
Everyone, especially Xia Fei, was stunned. He had been to the Old God Cult’s shrine before, yet he had not noticed that the cult had so many experts. However, after hearing Xia Wuye’s words, it appeared that the Old God Cult was truly an outstanding entity!
“We killed three Law Emperors of the Old God Cult while making our way back, and so they only have thirty-four Law Emperors now,” Xia Fei reported.
Xia Wuye’s eyes exploded with intensity as he asked, “You people have been surrounded by the Old God Cult, too?!”
Xia Ling nodded. “Yes. We fell for the schemes of the Moonward Clan. If it hadn’t been for the patriarch activating the Demonic Wing Token first, we would’ve done the same ourselves.”
“Are you guys certain that it’s the Moonwards pulling the string from behind the scenes?” Xia Wuye asked with furrowed brows.
Xia Mang did not make sense of the reason behind everything that was transpiring, while Xia Ling only understood it after listening to Xia Fei’s explanation, so the two turned to look at him.
“No doubt about it. I am certain.” Xia Fei nodded firmly.
Xia Wuye sighed as he spoke to the three. “Get yourself seated in the backyard. The patriarch is communicating with those above; our grand ancestor will surely have his conclusions.”
…
More gathered, and in the short span of twenty minutes, a good half of the forty Skywing Law Emperors had arrived. They were all standing around in the backyard, awaiting Patriarch Xia Buyun’s return with instructions. Even the medical team was on standby.
The wolves of Skywings had gathered. What happened next would definitely be explosive!
Xia Fei had seen this scene once before. The collective killing intent that permeated the entire garden was practically gushing out to the skies above!
Xia Fei sat under a tree and lit a cigarette. He ran through the entire matter in his mind once more, and a context, which was faint and vague at first, slowly began to become clear.
There was no doubt in his mind that all this began with the Moonward Clan. They hired the mercenary group, Pink Devils, from the Exiled Grounds to massacre the Old God Cult.
These cultists would, of course, not be reconciled with this affront, and so they sought the Pink Devils. That would be when the Moonwards came like golden cicadas shedding their shells, luring the warriors of Skywings to that field and leaking rumors, which asserted that they were the puppet masters moving the Pink Devils.
Next should be tricking both Xia Mang and Xia Ling into joining the fray, making them run into the Old God Cult in the Exiled Grounds. Even Patriarch Xia Buyun had tricked, too, and was ambushed by the two Law Overlords from the Old God Cult.
Hyacinth once said that the newest mercenary leader of the Pink Devils had a Law Overlord cultivation. Xia Buyun was also a Law Overlord. As long as they drew Xia Buyun to the right location at the right time, it was easy to make it appear as if Xia Buyun was the one giving the Pink Devils orders.
This was truly a ploy within a ploy, a conspiracy of schemes overlaid on top of other schemes! They had managed to ensnare the Skywing Clan and the Old God Cult together despite their original unfamiliarity with each other, becoming mortal enemies of each other!
“This time, the Skywing Clan will have to deal with the major forces of the Moonward Clan and the Old God Cult!” the old demon lord stated grimly after hearing Xia Fei’s analysis of the situation. “There’ll be at least five Law Overlords if the two forces are combined! That’s a big difference in strength between both sides!”
