The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Eyes, one after another, fixed their gaze on Ling Feng in unison.

However, Ling Feng remained calm and composed, sporting an air of nonchalance, without a hint of panic or distress.

"The evidence against you is undeniable, kid named Ling," Jia Lang snarled, his expression fierce. "Kid, even if the most powerful entity were to intervene, he couldn't save you this time!"

In the presence of the imperial decree, those who had previously supported Ling Feng fell silent, their voices stifled by the weight of authority.

With each passing moment, the city guards encroached, their demeanor fierce and their weapons poised for action.

"Who says Sun Siyi is the empire's youngest divine imperial physician?"

Amid the watchful gazes of the crowd, Ling Feng finally spoke, "Sun Siyi is just an incompetent underling of mine."

When it came to medical expertise, Sun Siyi was hardly fit to polish Ling Feng's shoes.

"Even as death draws near, you dare to exhibit such arrogance!" Jia Lang's laughter echoed darkly. "What are we waiting for? Quickly dispose of this kid!"

Advancing methodically, the guards closed in, while the spectators gradually retreated.

At that moment, only Lin Xian'er and Ouyang Jing stood by Ling Feng's side.

"Jing'er, step back quickly!" Ouyang Rui urgently motioned to Ouyang Jing, who remained steadfast behind Ling Feng.

Ouyang Jing clenched his fists, his gaze unwavering on Ling Feng as he ground out, "Big brother, I trust you. You don't need to pretend to be a divine imperial physician!"

"Ah!" Liu Xudong sighed and shook his head. Faced with the incontrovertible evidence, even he found himself speechless.

"You insolent brat, I suggest you surrender quietly. It might save you from unnecessary suffering!" One of the black-armored guards drew his longsword, his eyes locked on Ling Feng like a hawk's.

This individual's cultivation had already transcended to the Transformation Realm, a realm far beyond that of a Pulse Formation Realm warrior.

Lin Xian'er cast a deep look at Ling Feng, gritting her teeth as she spoke, "Brother Ling, I possess a magical treasure that can hold them back. You should flee!"

Behind her stood a vice president from the Tianwei Academy, and she believed the guards of Hanwu County wouldn't dare to provoke her too much.

Ling Feng pursed his lips and glanced at the two steadfast figures beside him, offering a faint smile. "Miss Lin, I appreciate your kindness. But why should I flee?"

Ling Feng took a step forward, moving towards the leader of the black-armored guards under the astonished gaze of Lin Xian'er.

"Sir, I have something here that you might want to take a closer look at," Ling Feng said with a faint smile, retrieving a token from his pocket and tossing it over.

"Hmph! Whatever treasure you have won't save your life!"

The black-armored guard caught the token casually, initially dismissing it. But as he examined it closely, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Suddenly, with a clatter, the token fell to the ground. The guard's legs trembled, and he dropped to his knees with a thud. "M... My lord, spare me... Spare me!"

"Hmm?"

Once again, everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of token was it that could instill such fear, reducing the leader of the black-armored guards to such a state?

"You're quite bold, aren't you? Tossing around Cangqiong Sect's token so casually?"

Ling Feng teased the guard leader, a smirk playing on his lips.

"N... No, I didn't mean to! Please forgive me!" The guard leader hastily picked up the token and presented it to Ling Feng, his face filled with fear. "I... I didn't know you were a high envoy of the Cangqiong Sect. Even if I had a thousand guts, I wouldn't dare draw my sword against you!"

The token Ling Feng held, originally bestowed upon him by Wen Tingguang, turned out to be the Cangqiong Sect's token.

Ling Feng's successful treatment of the Cangqiong Sect's sect leader was a remarkable achievement. Alongside the token of a divine imperial physician, personally granted by the sect leader, Ling Feng also received a Cangqiong Sect's token, signifying him as a VIP of the Cangqiong Sect.

Given the lofty status of the Cangqiong Sect, being a VIP member meant that Ling Feng was not someone the guards of these remote border towns could afford to provoke.

"Boss, you..." The other black-armored guards beside him were left dumbfounded, staring at their leader in disbelief.

Immediately, the leader of the black-armored guards turned around and scolded, "What are you all standing there foolishly for? Kneel down and apologize to the envoy immediately! Do you want to get me killed?"

"Yes!" The black-armored guards promptly complied, their actions creating an eerie atmosphere.

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing saliva echoed around as almost everyone stared in astonishment at Ling Feng amidst the guards, their eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

Lin Xian'er and Ouyang Jing shared an equally incredulous gaze as they looked at Ling Feng.

The Cangqiong Sect is the divine guardian sect of the Tianbai Empire. Who would have known that Ling Feng has a connection with them!

Who exactly is he?

"How is this possible?" Jia Lang was left dumbfounded. Despite his confidence in victory, Ling Feng's sudden display of a token left all the guards of Hanwu County kneeling before him.

Thump, thump, thump!

Dizziness clouded Jia Lang's mind as he staggered backward, nearly collapsing if not for the attendant at his side.

What manner of adversary had he provoked?

"This can't be! It's absolutely impossible!"

Jia Lang pushed away the attendant and shouted, "Commander Yang, you must not believe this kid! If he can forge a fake divine imperial physician's token, he can forge a fake Cangqiong Sect token too! This kid is nothing but a complete fraud!"

"Commander Yang, you should arrest this kid and trial him thoroughly!"

"That's enough!"

Behind Jia Lang, a middle-aged man in a golden robe delivered a resounding slap across his face, sending him flying.

This individual happened to be Jia Lang's father, Jia Yan, who was known for staunchly defending his own. Upon learning that his son was being mistreated, he swiftly gathered several experts from the family and guards from the county to apprehend Ling Feng.

Who would have thought that matters would escalate to such an extent!

The leader of the black-armored guards, Yang Zhen, was a vice-general assigned from the imperial capital. With his military background, how could he possibly mistake the Cangqiong token for anything else?

Moreover, as the divine guardian sect of the empire, the Cangqiong Sect was entitled to appoint one divine imperial physician directly each year. It appears that Ling Feng may well be the chosen one.

"I've failed to discipline my son properly and have caused trouble for you, sir. Please forgive me!"

Jia Yan hastily dropped to his knees with a thud in front of Ling Feng. As the saying goes: The higher the rank, the greater the authority!

Ling Feng was an esteemed guest of the Cangqiong Sect, while their Jia family, to put it plainly, was merely a local power. Once outside Hanwu County, they had no significant status to speak of.

Despite Jia Yan's considerable strength exceeding Ling Feng's, he had no choice but to kneel obediently before Ling Feng, bowing and pleading for mercy.

The turn of events caught everyone off guard. Not only was Ling Feng a divine imperial physician, but he was also an esteemed guest of the Cangqiong Sect!

The status of an esteemed guest was equivalent to that of an honorary elder!

Jia Lang, dazed from his father's slap, unsure whether it was Ling Feng or his father who had left him in such a state, sat stupefied, shrinking into himself, too afraid to even glance in Ling Feng's direction.

"Hmph!" Ling Feng snapped his sleeve, reclaiming the Cangqiong token from the guard leader's hand and stated icily, "The Divine Imperial Physician token I hold was personally issued by the Cangqiong Sect. If you have any doubts, you're welcome to verify it with the Cangqiong Sect!"

"We... we dare not!"

Yang Zhen and Jia Yan's faces turned blacker than the bottom of a pot, realizing they had been thoroughly deceived by Jia Lang this time.
