Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1179 - 1177: Meeting the Family Head

How... How is this possible!

At this moment, his heart was swept by a storm of shock. When had the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon ever needed to ask anyone for help, let alone a group of children? What was more outrageous was that it was actually begging these children to plead on behalf of that young man. He thought to himself, how could this be possible, how could this be possible!

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was one of the top existences in the Hidden World. Furthermore, due to its status as a Demon Beast, it was even more formidable than these old ancestors. In the Hidden World, no one could threaten it. It was practically an invincible existence there, but now, such a formidable Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was begging someone for mercy. Such an act was so unbelievable that not only did he not believe it, but no one would believe it!

Who exactly is this young man?

He couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards Lin Feng, starting to size him up seriously, wanting to figure out who Lin Feng really was, what his identity was, to have made the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon submit to such an extent. In the Hidden World, for thousands of years, no one had been able to subdue a Demon King, yet this young man did. This was truly inconceivable!

But just as he turned his gaze towards Lin Feng, suddenly, Lin Feng swept a glance in his direction, instantly stupefying Song Hong completely. He had never imagined Lin Feng’s perception would be so heaven-defying. He had employed his Concealment Technique, and without any exaggeration, even a high-level expert of the Divine Change Realm might not be able to discover him from such a distance, yet this youngster did. Indeed, he was the existence that even the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon submitted to!

What was even more astounding to him was that he was unable to see through Lin Feng’s strength. Thinking of the manner in which the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon had addressed Lin Feng just moments ago, he suddenly came to a realization; all of this pointed to the fact that Lin Feng was definitely more powerful than him, and not just by a little!

Thinking about this, he was completely shocked by his speculation, standing there dumbfounded like a wooden statue, gazing in the direction where Lin Feng had disappeared, his heart tumultuous like turbulent waves, thinking to himself who in the world is this kid who looks no more than twenty years old, yet possesses such earth-shattering strength? Such a thing had never happened in the Hidden World before; it was truly terrifying!

But he did not wish to delve into it. Having lived to his age, he had seen through everything. Although he did not know how Lin Feng did it, none of that mattered anymore. In the Hidden World, strength explained everything. Thinking of Lin Feng’s terrifying strength, he, an elder renowned in the Hidden World for hundreds of years, felt utterly disgraceful...

Meanwhile, after exchanging a few words with the children, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon vanished in a flash, like a streak of blue lightning. There were too many cultivators here, and it was inappropriate for it to make an appearance. It would reappear when Lin Feng summoned it.

After seeing the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon leave, the children also waited in place for Lin Feng, but after a while, they grew restless. Suddenly, the children noticed a Transcendent Realm middle-stage Demon Beast not far away, and their eyes shone brightly.

"Let’s kill this Demon Beast and have a barbecue!"

"Alright, let’s take down this Demon Beast!"

"I didn’t expect to encounter a Demon Beast here."

...

Seeing the appearance of a Demon Beast, the children were overjoyed to death, rushing over like gusts of wind. Instead of standing in place waiting for Lin Feng, they might as well kill this Demon Beast while they had the chance. When Lin Feng returned, they could enjoy a hot barbecue, so why not!

These children are going to hunt a Demon Beast?

Seeing the children running towards the Demon Beast, Song Hong finally snapped out of it, his mind suddenly filled with surprise. He had not expected that the children were actually going to hunt a Demon Beast. That Demon Beast was a Transcendent Realm middle-stage beast, while the children were only at the later stages of the Mortal Realm. How could they possibly hunt a Transcendent Realm middle-stage Demon Beast? Thinking of this, he decided to follow and watch—if anything happened to the children, he would save them.

But he could never have imagined that what the children really faced when they confronted the Demon Beast was another scenario altogether!

"Careful! Group one retreat, group four advance!"

"Quick, retreat, groups two and three attack simultaneously!"

"Group one get in and strike!"

...

In front of the children was a very sturdy-looking deer-shaped Demon Beast, its red, bulbous eyes shining brightly like lamps, particularly spirited. The long antlers on its head sparkled like bayonets, and its body emitted a faint white Demon Energy. In short, without making a move, just from the surface level strength, one could infer that this Demon Beast was really nothing simple.

Yet such a formidable Demon Beast was now at a loss under the hands of these children. This situation astonished Song Hong. He could never have imagined that these children could accomplish such a feat. Keep in mind that these children only had the strength of the Mortal Realm, yet they were hunting a Transcendent Realm middle-stage Demon Beast. Who could believe this!

In the Hidden World, there had never been talk of such powerful children. Now he grew even more curious about who their teacher could be; what kind of teacher could have trained such formidable children! At this thought, he immediately began to observe the children closely. Through his observation, he was surprised to find that these children were using Xia Family’s Cultivation Techniques, it was beyond doubt that these children were members of the Xia Family!

Having figured this out, Song Hong suddenly understood everything. The young person who had terrified the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon so must be Lin Feng, the Mortal teacher of the Xia Family’s younger generation that everyone had been talking about! He also recalled how people said that Lin Feng was notoriously unreliable, but shaking his head, he thought to himself that this was not being unreliable at all—in fact, this was being reliable to an unbelievable degree, far surpassing even him, an old ancestor!

For a moment, Song Hong felt utterly ashamed. Seeing that the children were handling the Demon Beasts without any issue, he realized there was no need for him to protect them here. Finally, with a helpless shake of his head, he vanished from the spot...

Meanwhile, on the other side, under the lead of Xia Yunfeng, Lin Feng and two others directly approached the Xia Family’s camp at the foot of Ascension Mountain. As soon as the trio entered the camp, they immediately drew hostile stares from the members of the Xia Family, eyes filled with intense disapproval!

How come Lin Feng has returned?

He... He actually showed up!

The children of the younger group are back? Where are they?

...

Looking at Lin Feng, their hearts were seething with anger, blaming him for his late return—had he returned earlier, they would not have had to face the ridicule from the other three Prominent Families. It could be said that Lin Feng was solely to blame; if it weren’t for him, how could the others have mocked the Xia Family so scornfully!

However, as angry as they were, they only said so in their hearts without voicing their displeasure, as that would be detrimental to the Xia Family’s reputation. Then a sudden realization struck them—if Lin Feng had returned, where were the children? Why were they not seen?

Lin Feng and his companions paid no attention to the furious and perplexed gazes of the Xia Family members as they walked straight into a large room. This room had served as the Xia Family’s deliberation hall during previous major contests, and at this time, the Family Head and Elders would surely be there.

As soon as the trio entered the room, gazes immediately shot towards them, followed by the scolding voices of the Elders!

"Lin Feng, why have you only returned now? Do you even care about the Xia Family?"

"Where are the children? What exactly have you been doing, Lin Feng? We notified you a month in advance, so why didn’t you come back?"

"Do you no longer have any sense of discipline? Do you realize how important this contest is and yet you treat it as a joke? If you didn’t come, do you know what the consequences would be?"

...

Upon seeing Lin Feng, the Elders became excitedly agitated, accusing him one after another. They were truly furious. Despite Lin Feng’s special status, as a teacher of the Xia Family, he should have complied with the Xia Family’s arrangements. His late arrival was perceived as a clear disregard for the Family!

Thinking of this made the Elders even angrier, their faces turning red with irritation. They couldn’t believe that Lin Feng would be so irresponsible, taking a matter as crucial as the contest so lightly—it was too outrageous!

Xia Guangnan was pleased to see the Elders scolding Lin Feng; Lin Feng had previously made a fool of him, and now he felt vindicated. Just as he was about to join in with a few words of his own, he suddenly felt a chill creep over him and noticed that Lin Feng’s eyes were on him. He broke into a cold sweat, terrified to utter another word.

He had experienced Lin Feng’s power first-hand; that inscrutable Righteous Brilliance Palm was impossible to defend against. He did not want to repeat the humiliation of running naked in front of so many Elders—there would be no place left for his dignity.

At this time, the other Elders had not noticed any of this; they pointed fingers at Lin Feng, speaking heartily. The Xia Family had never before encountered such a lack of disciplinary awareness. The Elders could not contain their anger, feeling Lin Feng had made light of such a serious event like the contest. In a word, they were extremely upset and wished they could directly confront Lin Feng themselves.

Xia Yunfeng knew that coming back this late would definitely anger everyone, but he hadn’t anticipated the extent of their fury. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say—the last thing he wanted was to upset Lin Feng. While others might not be aware of Lin Feng’s strength, he knew it all too well. Putting aside Lin Feng’s own actions, a mere command from him would be enough to summon the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, and nobody here would be a match for it!

With trepidation in his heart, he looked at Lin Feng, hoping that Lin Feng wouldn’t get angry. He definitely did not want Lin Feng’s fury to implicate the entire Xia Family.

Lin Feng watched the Elders pointing and accusing him angrily, yet he remained silent, simply standing there with a smile on his face. He was well aware of what was in the hearts of these Elders; they scolded him purely out of concern for the Xia Family. Therefore, he didn’t feel much anger towards them, nor did he feel the need to explain himself, as it was utterly unnecessary.

At that moment, Xia Yuntian, the Family Head, took it upon himself to step forward and put an end to the Elders’ tirade.
