Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1274 - 1272: What Does It Have to Do With Me?

After Zhu Tao disappeared, Lin Feng walked alone to the training ground. He thought for a moment, then selected five students from the Special Skills class and used his Divine Sense to summon them to the training ground.

The five students had no idea what was happening. However, since Lin Feng had summoned them, there was no way they would not come. Before long, all five of them appeared beside Lin Feng, looking at him with puzzled expressions, unsure why Lin Feng was calling them over so late at night.

"Tomorrow, all of you are going to investigate five different locations. These places are extremely dangerous. Right now, I’ll teach you a Secret Technique that can put you into a state resembling fake death, helping you avoid detection by the enemy’s defense systems. However, remember one critical thing: under no circumstances are you to engage in combat or allow yourselves to be discovered. Your sole mission is to lie low and gather intelligence on the enemy. If you detect any unusual activity, report back immediately. At that point, we’ll know how to proceed."

Lin Feng issued these instructions while looking at the five students, and then began teaching them—step by step—the Turtle Breath Secret Technique he had once used. The five students understood the importance of the mission and focused intently, mastering the technique as quickly as possible. Once that was done, Lin Feng finally left the training ground.

Walking by the lake on campus, Lin Feng checked the time—it wasn’t too late yet. Remembering that the five students needed to go abroad for this mission, he realized time was tight and decided to contact Tianhai City’s police chief for assistance. He recalled a special identification method used by the police department, which he had utilized in the past and deemed perfect for these five students.

"Hey, Lin Feng. It’s so late—why are you calling me? Is something wrong?" Zhou Yang answered Lin Feng’s call, somewhat puzzled. A late-night call from Lin Feng could only mean something urgent. He even wondered briefly if Lin Feng had killed someone again and needed him to clean up the mess.

"Here’s the situation—I need to send five people overseas tomorrow for a mission. Arrange their travel documents for me using the kind of passport I used previously," Lin Feng said as soon as the call connected. The matter was undoubtedly urgent and couldn’t be delayed; this was why Lin Feng had to contact Zhou Yang immediately.

"Alright. Tomorrow, I’ll have someone deliver them. You can just attach their photos yourselves," Zhou Yang replied without hesitation, immediately understanding the significance of the matter. He promptly ended the call and set about organizing the necessary arrangements.

After making those arrangements, Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief. Standing by the lake, he opened his Divine Sense to locate the main battleground against the mechs. He planned to set up a Formation to isolate the battlefield and ensure that ordinary people wouldn’t be affected. Scanning the surrounding area thoroughly, he realized that the scale of the upcoming battle couldn’t be small. He needed to find a suitable area to resolve the conflict. In a bustling city like Tianhai, finding such a location was no easy task.

After weighing his options, Lin Feng decided on a spot near Yingbo University’s lake—not far from the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation. The terrain here was ideal, nestled between two mountains and shrouded in dense forest. It provided natural concealment, and combined with Lin Feng’s Formation setup, outsiders wouldn’t have any clue about the events unfolding within.

Having made up his mind, Lin Feng turned and disappeared from the scene, returning to the villa to strategize the upcoming battle against the mechs. With few allies capable of dealing with the enemy’s machines, he needed a relatively effective method to destroy them...

The next morning arrived quickly. As dawn broke, Ding Wan’er and the other women woke up early and began their daily cultivation routines. It had become a habit for them—they all felt their strength was still far too lacking. Wanting to avoid being a burden to Lin Feng, they diligently trained, making remarkable progress with each passing day.

Once the women finished their morning practice, Lin Feng had already prepared breakfast. He joined them at the table to eat.

"Wan’er, the area behind Labor Lake at the school—is it still part of the campus? If not, buy that entire area in the next couple of days. I plan to destroy the enemy’s mechs there," Lin Feng said directly, looking at Ding Wan’er.

"No, it’s not part of the campus. Since that’s the case, I’ll arrange the purchase. Besides, the school needs to expand anyway. But Lin Feng, don’t you think this location might not be ideal? If students accidentally wander into the area, it could pose significant problems," Ding Wan’er said thoughtfully, expressing her concerns. Purchasing the land was easy to handle, but with the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation already sprawled across most of the school’s remaining forest, extending the range further would undoubtedly attract attention.

"We’ll relocate eventually, but now’s not the time. We’ll handle it when the moment is right. For now, it shouldn’t cause any issues," Lin Feng replied with a nod. With the continued expansion of the Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation, Spiritual Energy was growing increasingly dense, which was indeed a concern. However, this wasn’t the right time to resolve it, so the matter was postponed.

"Junior Brother, when do you think the Locke Family will make their move?" Chu Meng asked. She had been pondering this question all night—there was no guarantee that they’d have sufficient preparation time if the enemy acted immediately.

"They won’t act anytime soon. The Huaxia government poses a problem for them. They need to account for and coordinate this before making a move, so don’t worry," Lin Feng reassured her. He had already analyzed the situation extensively. Large-scale mech operations wouldn’t occur abruptly—the enemy had to resolve other issues first. This provided enough time for Lin Feng to establish the necessary plans, so the matter wasn’t a concern.

"That’s reassuring. On another note—Junior Brother—do you think we should make some money on this? We could short the Locke Family’s stock. Since they’re doomed to collapse, why let someone else profit?" Chu Meng proposed after easing her mind. Given their foreknowledge of the Locke Family’s inevitable troubles, this financial opportunity was simply too good to pass up.

"Absolutely. And if we’re doing this, we’ll go all-out—turn the Locke Group’s stock into worthless scraps of paper," Lin Feng agreed with a nod. There was no need for detailed discussion since Chu Meng knew precisely how to proceed.

"Lin Feng, is there anything I should do?"

"Yaoyao, you don’t need to do anything right now. But I think you should return to school. Once the holidays start, I’ll visit you. Your current priority is your education."

"...Alright then."

"Don’t worry, Yaoyao. Once the holidays arrive, we’ll come with Lin Feng to Yuegang to hang out with you!"

"Alright, it’s settled then!"

...

Afterward, Lin Feng chatted casually for a bit with the ladies before seeing Shen Yao off as she returned to Yuegang. Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei headed to work at the school as usual, while Chu Meng stayed in her room to prepare for an imminent stock-trading battle. Everyone busied themselves with their respective tasks.

Once Shen Yao had left, Lin Feng returned to the villa to discuss the ambush plan with Chu Meng. After finalizing the arrangements, he used the company’s supersonic aircraft to deploy the five students across the designated locations. He also set up corresponding support personnel to assist them. Once everything was settled...

"Junior Brother, I keep thinking—if the Locke Group weren’t facing you, they might never have been destroyed. If that were the case, this world could end up in chaos," Chu Meng reflected after finishing the arrangements. The Locke Group’s mechs were undeniably formidable. Without someone like Lin Feng standing against them, ordinary individuals would have no way to contend with the machines. If war broke out, everything would collapse.

"Actually, even without me, their madness couldn’t escalate unchecked. Never underestimate the power of nations. It’s simple—a single nuclear bomb can resolve everything if pushed to the brink. Don’t overestimate mechs—their technological advantages are external and always limited. Those machines are far from invincible," Lin Feng replied with a faint smile, offering a casual explanation to ease Chu Meng’s concerns.

After saying this, Lin Feng turned and left. He intended to conduct a thorough inspection of the two mountains’ positions and decide on the exact setup for the Formation. This required utmost precision—there could be no margin for error. However, just as Lin Feng stepped out of the villa, he found himself confronted by Qi Zheng and Qi Hai from the Two Saints Immortal Sect.

"What brings you here?" Lin Feng asked, looking at Qi Zheng and Qi Hai. He was puzzled as to why the two had suddenly sought him out.

"Taoist Friend Lin, we’d like to rebuild the Two Saints Immortal Sect and were hoping you could advise us on how to proceed," Qi Zheng said sincerely. Over the past few days, he had noticed how quickly the students were advancing—far surpassing their predecessors in the sect. Given this, he believed the time was ripe for reconstruction and wanted to consult Lin Feng on the matter.

Qi Hai said nothing but bowed deeply to Lin Feng. Without Lin Feng, both he and their ancestor would have perished long ago, leaving no hope for the Two Saints Immortal Sect’s revival. After discussing the situation with their elder, Qi Zheng had decided they absolutely needed Lin Feng’s input.

"If you want to rebuild the sect, go ahead. What does that have to do with me?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat perplexed. The matter truly had no connection to him, and he was unsure what Qi Zheng meant.

"It’s like this—we’d like to invite you to become the Sect Master of the Two Saints Immortal Sect. With your guidance, we believe the sect could have an even brighter future," Qi Zheng clarified hastily. He and Qi Hai had thoroughly discussed this decision. Seeing Lin Feng’s strength, they realized that rebuilding the sect under his leadership was infinitely more advantageous than attempting to manage it on their own.

Most importantly, they believed being absorbed into Lin Feng’s circle was preferable to complete annihilation. With their current abilities, reviving the sect independently was an impossibility. Only Lin Feng’s involvement could ensure its survival and prosperity.
