Chapter 466: Lin Xiao and the Diviners (1/2)
”To think that the Demon Phoenix Army is so precise,” a voice suddenly boomed over the battlefield. ”We had expected you to arrive tomorrow, but you made it here already! That is, indeed, unexpected.”
The speaker was a chubby man who seemed to be in his fifties. His hair was black, but grey streaks could be found within.
He was sitting on a sizable ferocious beast, but the creature was not irritated or angry like they usually would be. Instead, it seemed tame and domesticated.
Seeing this, Xue Wei narrowed his eyes, and when he looked at the army in front of him, he found that many of them were riding on a ferocious beast, but what made his heart sink was that he saw quite a few experts that were dressed as the Diviners from the Chang'an Continent.
Knowing that the Diviners had really arrived, Xue Wei knew that the battle would become much more difficult.
Fortunately, the experts from the Chang'an Continent were weaker compared to the others, so they could not tame the King or Emperor Primordial Beasts, but some of the Heavenly Knights and the Saints might get grabbed.
”Lin Xuan, Lei Jingshen,” Xue Wei called out, and the two experts looked at him with some doubt. Now was not the time to talk amongst themselves.
”The monks need to be killed first,” Xue Wei said seriously, not caring about who heard him. ”They are Diviners, with the ability to tame and domesticate Ferocious and Primordial Beasts. They come from Chang'an, so don't lower your guard and kill right away.”
Xue Wei's voice was clear, and it drew much attention to him, not only from the Demon Phoenix army, but also from the Xiyang army. Hearing him point out the diviners so accurately caused their faces to turn ugly.
But suddenly, a cry sounded through the battlefield. ”Lin Xiao, you treacherous dog! To think that you stole the holy staff and ran away from the order! His holiness placed all his hopes on you, and you returned it with ingratitude! You are a white-eyed wolf! You are not worthy for the name of a Diviner!”
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the man who was shouting, but he just laughed out loud after seeing who it was.
”I have to admit that I initially feared that the old man had found a way to tame Sovereign Beasts, but looking at the Vermilion Birds in the cage, it seems that I overthought things.
”You are not here because you can tame them; you are here to try and claim as many experts from the Demon Phoenix Army that you can. It's just a shame that I am here to interfere with you.”
