Chapter 466: 466

"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 ingrat.i.tude! 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 . "

Everyone's expressions turned ugly . The expressions of the Xiyang Continent were ugly because they had been seen through, but the Demon Phoenix army was not much better .

The Demon Phoenix army contained some human experts, but the majority were Primordial Beasts . Knowing that there was some sort of ability to tame and domesticate them, they were all livid with anger .

"Don't worry too much," Lin Xiao said as his narrowed eyes contained some gloom . "The experts that have appeared here are at the Earth Saint layer at most . They will not be able to tame anything above the Earth Saint realm, and even those at the Earth Saint realm are pretty safe, as taming requires a lot of time and mental power .

"During something as chaotic as a battle, they will naturally aim for the weaker experts, but even they will take a bit of time to tame, so if we follow Xue Wei's suggestion and all focus on killing off the experts that resemble monks first, then we should be safe . "

Everyone had understood a few things from the conversation between the two of them, and no one had expected that this young man was so ruthless and said that they could just kill his old comrades as easily as if he was discussing the weather .

They could not help but glance a few extra times at Lin Xiao, and then pitying gazes were sent to Xue Wei and his other companions, but none of them cared .

Although Lin Xiao was ruthless towards the Diviners, this did not mean that he was a cruel and malicious person . It was just that the Diviners had crossed his line too often, and he could not accept their way of doing things .

As to what exactly Lin Xiao had experienced while being trained to become a Diviner, Xue Wei had never asked, and Lin Xiao had never mentioned it . Xue Wei felt that he had no need to know about it as he trusted in his friend, and Lin Xiao was unwilling to dig up his most vulnerable and painful memories .

The diviners only wanted the strongest experts to continue in their midsts, and sometimes they had to weed out the weaker ones .

This had happened to Lin Xiao and his brother, and in the end, both he and his brother wished to be the one who died instead of the other, but his brother was faster, and his last words had haunted Lin Xiao up until now .

If not for having found Xue Wei, he was likely to have vanished by now, but now that he was friends with Xue Wei and the others, he was confident that he would have a chance of getting vengeance .

As for killing his previous comrades? They had forced him to kill his own brother, what was wrong with asking for some interest back on this now?
