Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4144 - Pope, We're in Trouble!

Feng Linxue's words showed how disappointed she was in Lord Yue. When someone like her turned from liking someone to hating someone, their blood would completely freeze over. The new way she looked at Lord Yue was filled with utter disgust, contempt and disregard. How could someone like that be the ideal leader of the primalwingers in her mind?

"Yue Xiao, every single one of your actions today have disappointed all primalwingers greatly! You will lose the protection of the masses and be scorned by all!" Feng Linxue didn't bother to hide her contempt in the slightest, letting everyone around them hear her clearly.

Pu Fengyun, Meng Xinlan and the rest no doubt felt utterly let down. They had wanted to try to defend Lord Yue and claim it was some kind of misunderstanding, but the proof couldn't be clearer. There was no point in saying anything, so Lord Yue didn't bother to make excuses either. The ones who had defended him like clowns earlier felt so awkward and couldn't bring themselves to believe that Lord Yue would stoop to such lows. Their twisted expressions were varied and interesting to behold.

Meng Xinlan tried to smooth things over for the sake of the tribulations that all primalwingers would soon face. "Lord Yue! If you're willing to turn back and apologize to all of us, there might be a chance--"

"Chance my ass! Even if you can forgive him, the countless generations of descendants of Grand Feng would never work with a crook like him!" Feng Linxue snapped.

"There's no need to go that far..." Meng Xinlan said with a tragic look. She still held hope for Lord Yue, yet she didn't expect him to attack once he realized that the Windgod Star Staff that he had stolen was fake.

Cosmoforce exploded in a radius of tens of thousands of meters, swallowing up the entire battlefield in an instant. The blinding silver flames swooped towards Feng Linxue and the other cosmic gods.

"This is beyond saving..." Lord Yue's move had let down even those who had still held up hope for him.

"That sick bastard!" Feng Linxue cursed as she conjured up a storm of frost using the astralguard formation, separating Lord Yue from the crowd. The storm sent the others flying off and allowed Feng Linxue to disappear from the front of Lord Yue, causing his plan to fail completely. Lord Yue himself was sent flying tens of millions of meters away before plunging into the depths of the frozen ocean.

"Feng Linxue!" He stabilized himself, killing intent radiating from his chilling gaze. The consequences of his failure were significant. Not only would his reputation in the Primordial Sands completely tank till he became universally scorned, the cosmic gods in the army of Grand Feng would pose a huge threat once this crisis was over! The only silver lining was that news of the betrayal hadn't spread and the troops were still fighting to their deaths.

Lord Yue furrowed his brows deeply. "Xia..." He gripped his fists tight, causing his fingers that were hundreds of meters in length to pop audibly.

"Starlord!" Feng Buhuo, Pu Fengyun, Meng Xinlan and the rest caught up to Feng Linxue, who turned back to look at them.

"Are we really going to announce what Lord Yue did to the public? If we do, the ten million troops of Grand Yue would pose a problem. Considering the prestige that Lord Yue holds, their army might turn against us completely!" Pu Fengyun's expression was not pleasant to behold.

"Empress Xia's elite troops of ten million have entered the prison of frost. They had wanted to cause trouble after stealing the Windgod Star Staff and use it to control the formation, but that part of their plan failed completely. The other part of their plan depends on whether the Tian Jiu Cult keeps making their moves. Feng Linxue seemed incredibly calm despite having just suffered a horrible betrayal.

"Are we going to let the Tian Jiu Cult know about Lord Yue and Empress Xia as well?" Meng Xinlan asked, sighing.

"I already told them," Feng Linxue said, much to their shock.

"The pope isn't someone who would willingly suffer losses. If he wants to make any progress, he'll definitely pay for it, so let's see what he decides," Feng Linxue said.

"Alright. Let us get busy with our tasks as well," Meng Xinlan said. Whether they trusted Tianming or not, they had chosen to stand with Grand Feng in this battle. The forces of Grand Meng and Grand Jiang's Pu Clan continued to defend Grand Feng.

Feng Linxue breathed out a deep sigh once they left and suddenly opened her hand. Within it was a silver cockroach, staring at her with its big, googly eyes.

"I didn't think he would truly be so harsh and attack me. Thanks for giving me a warning, little bug," Feng Linxue said apologetically. "I'm really sorry that I treated your warning as a joke at first."

"Don't worry... I am... good just... like that," Yin Chen said.

"You can't be honest with yourself, can you? Can you tell me who you serve? Or who you are?"

"You will... soon see... the real... me and... my surname... is Li."

"Li? Then I know who you are." Feng Linxue sighed as her expression shifted multiple times. Not knowing how to react, she said, "You do have many tricks up your sleeves. I also treated you like a joke at first, but it seemed that you've utterly schooled me."

The rainbow divine-wonder balloon pushed the defenses of Grand Feng back bit by bit. The wondermancers were inching closer and closer to land, fighting with intense spirit and ferocity, all for the sake of their new home! Once the pope joined in, a hole was broken through in the defenses! Near the front of the battlefield, monochrome giants tens of thousands of meters in height ravaged the surroundings with others scarcely being able to defend themselves. The primalwingers on the battlefield cried out, "Where's Lord Yue? Why is he not here yet?!"

"Lord Yue doesn't need to fear her in the frost prison!"

Even though the pope had joined the attack, the savior of the primalwingers had yet to come. Many of them died as they kept waiting nonstop. No matter how strongly they wanted to defend their home, they wouldn't be able to push back against the Tian Jiu Cult's divine wonders without any help! The pope of the Tian Jiu Cult managed to strike a deep fear in the primalwingers.

"Our promised land is right before our eyes!" The pope scanned the land beneath with intense fervor. "We still have to find Feng Linxue to properly establish our homes here."

All of them knew what the most important part of conquering stars was. Right then, one of the ten who were watching the perimeter, Mo Lingji, came to him and said, "Pope, we're in trouble!"
