第69章 "Deceit's Web of Betrayal"

**第69章：The Web of Lies**

Chen Yang's eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with disdain. "You're a traitor, Lin Feng. How could you deceive me like this?"

Lin Feng's face fell, and he looked away, unable to meet Chen Yang's gaze. "I...I didn't mean to hurt you," he stammered.

Chen Yang snorted. "You didn't mean to hurt me? You've been playing me all along, using me to get closer to the sword sect's secrets. You're no different from the snakes that infest our sect."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with anger, but he knew he couldn't deny the truth. He had indeed been playing both sides, using Chen Yang's trust to gain access to the sword sect's inner workings.

Chen Yang's voice rose, his words lashing out like a whip. "You're no better than a dog. You've betrayed everything I believed in, everything I fought for. I should kill you now, but I won't. Instead, I'll make you pay for your treachery."

Lin Feng's face paled, and he took a step back, his eyes darting around the room in desperation. He knew Chen Yang was right; he had crossed a line, and there was no going back.

Just as Chen Yang was about to strike, the door burst open, and a figure rushed in. "Chen Yang, stop! You can't do this!" it was Shen Li, her eyes blazing with fury.

Chen Yang's eyes snapped to hers, and he sneered. "You're just in time to see your friend get what's coming to him, Shen Li. Lin Feng here has been deceiving me, using me for his own gain."

Shen Li's face turned cold, and she glared at Lin Feng. "Is this true, Lin Feng?"

Lin Feng hesitated, but he knew he couldn't deny it. "Yes, Shen Li...I'm sorry."

Shen Li's eyes seemed to bore into Lin Feng's soul. "I had thought you were different, Lin Feng. But I was wrong. You're just as rotten as the rest of them."

Chen Yang's laughter echoed through the room, cold and merciless. "You're right, Shen Li. Lin Feng is nothing but a traitor, and traitors deserve to die."

With that, Chen Yang raised his hand, and Lin Feng felt a surge of energy coursing through the air. He knew he was in grave danger, and his only hope was to escape...but how?

The chapter ended with a cliffhanger, leaving the reader wondering if Lin Feng would be able to escape Chen Yang's wrath or if he would finally get the justice he deserved.
