Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1243: Slap in the Face!

"A Guardian Token!"

It was, in fact, a Guardian Token from the Emperor Sect!

One had to understand that beneath the Sect Leader and the elders were the Main Altar Protectors!

In contrast to those elders whose existence was merely a symbolic deterrent,

the Main Altar Protectors were the true holders of power within the Emperor Sect's headquarters.

Nobody who wasn't an intimate and trusted confidant of Yu Sihuang could possibly occupy such a position!

More significantly, this Main Altar Guardian Token required personal conferral by Yu Sihuang himself!

This implied that with this single token, even if Chu Lingfeng wasn't officially a Main Altar Protector of the Emperor Sect, he was undoubtedly someone Yu Sihuang held in extremely high regard.

Considering this, how could the esteemed Young Masters from the Noble Families maintain their composure?

One must remember that while the Emperor Sect had no forces stationed in the Extreme West Wilderness, the presence of other sects from the Southern Domain in that region was quite substantial!

Under such circumstances, if the Emperor Sect decided to make their lives difficult, with only a handful of them present, how could their respective Families possibly dare to provoke the Emperor Sect?

Would they not be compelled to hand them over immediately?

With this realization dawning, their hearts were instantly overcome with regret and frustration.

Had they known that this idiot who had suddenly appeared from the Hu Family possessed such a formidable background, they would never have treated him with such disdain!

Now, they were truly in a precarious situation!

Just as everyone was drowning in internal regret, Hu Bang's face contorted with a mixture of indescribable panic and fury.

"Impossible!"

How could this scoundrel possibly hold such a high status?

Hu Bang stared, his disbelief palpable, at the token gripped in Chu Lingfeng's hand, his heart churning with rage and despair!

This fellow had actually achieved such remarkable fortune! He had managed to win the favor of the Emperor Sect Master.

The Emperor Sect might lack a military presence in the Extreme West Wilderness, but within the Southern Domain, it reigned as an undisputed Overlord!

He had naively assumed that this scoundrel and his mother were living in abject poverty in the outside world, struggling to make ends meet, which was why they were now desperately attempting to return!

Who could have possibly foreseen that the other party's standing in the outside world was so distinguished, living a life of apparent extravagance and high spirits?

Hu Bang's countenance grew as grim as if he had been physically struck dozens of times in quick succession.

At that very moment, Qingtong cast a casual glance in his direction before breaking into a sudden chuckle. "Whether it's possible or not... could it be that your Hu Family was unaware?"

As Qingtong spoke, she gracefully unfurled the folded fan in her hand, fanning herself gently, and stated with an air of nonchalance, "My elder brother's disposition... he has always kept this token with him, no matter where he goes... Your Hu Family members, you've truly never caught sight of it even once?"

While uttering these words, her gaze shifted from Hu Bang's distraught face towards the visages of those Noble Family Young Masters, and she then offered a smile laden with unspoken meaning.

"This little ploy of borrowing a knife to commit murder—quite skillfully executed."

As Qingtong's words faded, the expressions of both Hu Bang and the Noble Family Young Masters underwent a dramatic transformation.

However, the former's change stemmed from utter panic, while the latter's arose from simmering anger.

"Hu Bang! Your Hu Family actually dared to set us up!"

The moment Qingtong's statement concluded, those Noble Family Young Masters immediately began to over-analyze the situation!

They had already been harboring feelings of unease regarding their recent actions towards Chu Lingfeng.

Now, amplified by Qingtong's insinuation, their minds instantly connected the dots...

The reason they had targeted Chu Lingfeng earlier, making him their plaything...

Was a direct consequence of Hu Bang and his sister bringing him before them and explicitly instructing them to amuse themselves as they pleased!

Previously, they had even considered the Hu siblings to be genuinely loyal!

Upon closer inspection, what appeared as loyalty was clearly something else entirely!

They possessed knowledge of Chu Lingfeng's true identity but actively desired his demise, deliberately parading him out for them to exploit for their amusement!
