Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1258 - 1256: What Does it Mean?

"This... is for me?" Liao Chen took the ugly bag but did not look inside. Instead, he turned his gaze to Qi Zheng. He truly couldn’t be sure if these things were meant for him. After all, these were cultivation records and rare elixirs; for anyone else, not to mention giving them away, they wouldn’t even let him take a glance. He really couldn’t understand what was going on.

"Of course, these items were meant to belong to the successors of the lineage of the Lord of Dao’s Annihilation. You are this generation’s successor, so naturally, these items are for you." Seeing Liao Chen’s expression, Qi Zheng immediately understood his thoughts and spoke with firm certainty.

"But..." At that moment, Liao Chen truly felt how heavy the burden of being a successor was. For an instant, it was almost unbearable. Thinking about Qi Zheng, the elder, who had almost been killed by the pursuers just to deliver these items to him—it pained him deeply. Qi Zheng was a dignified expert at the Divine Change Realm, yet he had ended up in such a tragic situation for this. Liao Chen didn’t know what to say.

"Take it; it’s yours now. Since destiny has chosen you as the successor, there’s no need to resist it. Take up this responsibility." Watching Liao Chen’s hesitation, Lin Feng naturally understood his mindset. However, with the sect of the Two Sages already destroyed, Liao Chen could no longer be a bystander. It was time for him to shoulder this responsibility.

"Alright, Teacher Lin, I understand what I need to do now." Initially, Liao Chen wanted to refuse, but after hearing Lin Feng’s words, he reconsidered and agreed. With the sect of the Two Sages reduced to ruins, remaining indifferent would indeed chill people’s hearts. Thus, he nodded and accepted.

Seeing Liao Chen take the items, Qi Zheng and Qi Hai both felt relieved. To be honest, they hadn’t been sure whether Liao Chen would accept the inheritance. But now that he had, it was clear—Liao Chen was officially a member of the sect of the Two Sages. Going forward, he would bear the responsibility of rebuilding and revitalizing the sect.

With the matter resolved perfectly, Lin Feng, the Old Monster, and the others were quite pleased. However, the fact that the sect of the Two Sages—a renowned sect—had been obliterated so suddenly showed the extraordinary power of the forces that acted against it.

"Have a look at these items; have you ever seen them on those black-clad men?" Suddenly, Lin Feng recalled some items he had taken from Pu Zhe and Jin Shi after defeating them. He immediately displayed them for Qi Zheng and Qi Hai to identify and validate his speculation.

Hearing Lin Feng’s prompt, Qi Zheng and Qi Hai carefully examined the items in his hands. When they spotted a small jade pendant among them, their eyes lit up, and they exclaimed almost simultaneously, "We’ve seen this jade pendant before! Two of those black-clad men carried this!"

After speaking, the two were quite puzzled. How could Lin Feng possess items belonging to those men? Had Lin Feng also killed them?

"Before I came here, I had just dealt with two South Koreans who came to my place. These items are what those two left behind," Lin Feng replied casually. However, he had already pieced everything together in his mind.

"South Koreans? Could it be that the attackers of the sect of the Two Sages were South Koreans? That’s impossible! Since when does South Korea have so many experts?" Qi Zheng froze upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, unable to believe such a result.

The others in the room also turned their eyes to Lin Feng. Even if they didn’t speak, they shared the same disbelief. Could South Korean cultivators truly possess such formidable martial strength to annihilate the sect of the Two Sages? And if South Korea were so powerful, how had there been no clues or rumors about it?

"If my guess is right, they shouldn’t be acting alone. Rather, they are part of multiple groups working together, with South Koreans as one of the factions. Behind all of them, there must be an extremely powerful force orchestrating everything—likely one of the Four Prominent Families of the Hidden World. No other forces would possess this capability.".

"And more importantly, they’re well aware of my presence here. They’ve set up covert sentinels and immediately alerted their people to retreat as soon as I arrived. This alone is enough to explain the situation. Think about it—doesn’t it make sense?"

Lin Feng did not hold back in laying out his analysis to everyone. From these points, it was evident that the enemy understood very well who he was and what his power levels were. Moreover, no one outside the Four Prominent Families knew his precise strength; this narrowed the suspects.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s reasoning, everyone present suddenly grasped what he meant. Thinking back on the prior events and recalling the black-clad men’s determination to capture Qi Zheng and Qi Hai, the web of connections became clear. A faction was attacking cultivation families, and this faction was exceptionally formidable—so much so that it inspired fear in all who encountered them.

"Lin Feng, have you been able to deduce what their ultimate goal is?" Qi Zheng locked his serious gaze onto Lin Feng, asking solemnly. He was truly anxious; without understanding the enemy’s intent, even seeking revenge seemed futile.

"Actually, the answer is fairly obvious. From what these two groups seem to be aiming for, I suspect they are working on assembling pieces to construct a large-scale teleportation formation. This would pave the way for truly powerful beings to arrive on Earth in the future."

Faced with the group’s questions, Lin Feng offered his speculation. Seen in context, the two South Koreans had likely just robbed a family, while the calamity at the sect of the Two Sages was tied to their intent to recover certain key objects. To Lin Feng, it was clear—they were moving toward an ultimate goal.

"Them!"

"Are they insane?!"

"If someone truly invincible descends, the entire world will change forever!"

...

Lin Feng’s conjecture left the group shaken. It was terrifying to imagine such a scenario. Even a single immortal had been beyond their expectations during the martial tournament; the prospect of even stronger entities arriving through a teleportation formation was unthinkable. If such beings surpassed even Lin Feng, then no one on Earth could stand against them. The notion of such madness left the group in near disbelief—a perilous gamble orchestrated by people whose motives defied reason.

"Actually, there is no need to dwell too much on it. What will come will come, regardless of our knowledge. Even knowing what’s ahead, we have no way to change it," Lin Feng remarked simply. The enemy had long since laid their plans carefully; no matter what they attempted now, it would not disrupt or delay their course of action. Worrying, Lin Feng reasoned, was meaningless.

The entire room nodded in agreement after hearing Lin Feng’s explanation. He was right—the situation had already progressed to this point. Even if they understood the enemy’s goals, stopping them was impossible. Anxiety offered no solutions. Yet, unease lingered in their hearts, fearful that Lin Feng’s predictions might come true—a disaster for all they knew.

"Lin Feng, inside this Qiankun Bag is everything we have left of the sect of the Two Sages. Now that the sect has been destroyed, I give it to you, hoping you will stand up when the time comes to face the impending calamity." At that moment, Qi Zheng spoke sternly, handing a small spatial treasure in the shape of a bag to Lin Feng.

Making such a decision was not easy for Qi Zheng. Since waking, he had observed Liao Chen carefully and had found no flaws in him. Liao Chen had already reached the Infinitesimal Realm—a feat that would have been impossible even in the sect itself.

Qi Zheng couldn’t help admiring Lin Feng more and more. Without direct guidance in cultivation techniques, Lin Feng had enabled Liao Chen to advance at a shocking speed—far superior to their own instruction. Such an achievement was likely only possible under Lin Feng’s guidance, unmatched across the universe.

Additionally, previous rumors from the martial tournament suggested Lin Feng was a Human Immortal Realm super powerhouse. Qi Zheng now completely believed those claims, trusting Lin Feng without reservation. Giving the sect’s remaining resources to Lin Feng was a safer bet than anything else—a chance to create an opportunity for the sect to rise again.

Taking the Qiankun Bag, Lin Feng smiled and didn’t refuse. He then turned to Qi Zheng with a faint smile and said, "Actually, you don’t need to be so concerned. The sect of the Two Sages hasn’t been wiped out. Aside from Liao Chen, there are many others who belong to your sect within my care."

After finishing this statement, Lin Feng simply smiled faintly, surprising even himself. Initially, his intent had only been to rescue some people. Little did he know, he had saved so many people tied to the sect of the Two Sages—an unexpected boon from chance.

"What? Taoist Friend Lin, what do you mean?" Qi Zheng asked, perplexed. He couldn’t understand Lin Feng’s words. As far as he knew, no one from the sect of the Two Sages remained except Liao Chen. How could Lin Feng claim otherwise?

Qi Hai was equally confused, staring curiously at Lin Feng. But unlike them, the Old Monster and others had already grasped Lin Feng’s meaning and began smiling. Strictly speaking, those under Lin Feng’s care could indeed be considered members of the sect since they cultivated the Dao’s Annihilation of Myriad Transformations Technique, the sect’s signature inheritance.

Seeing Qi Zheng and Qi Hai’s bewildered expressions, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "They’ll be here shortly. Once they arrive, you’ll understand."

Lin Feng had already used his Divine Sense to summon his specialized class of students. All of them cultivated the Dao’s Annihilation of Myriad Transformations Technique, making them rightful members of the sect of the Two Sages. Soon, Qi Zheng and Qi Hai would learn the truth.

After hearing Lin Feng’s statement, Qi Zheng and Qi Hai held back their questions and anxiously awaited the arrival of those Lin Feng mentioned. Before long, a group had gathered outside the villa. Lin Feng then led the group out of the villa.
