Chapter 1292 - 1290: Abnormality
On the other side, after dragging Jin Xin out, Lei Nan ignored her struggles and resistance, directly threw her over his shoulder, placed her in their car, and bound her with the seatbelt. Without stopping, he hurried toward the airport. However, halfway there, Lei Nan noticed Jin Xin’s tears streaming down her face and pulled over at a suitable spot.
"Are you feeling wronged right now? Still thinking about going to Lin Feng?" Lei Nan lit a cigarette as he gazed at Jin Xin, whose face was streaked with tears. His tone of inquiry seemed calm, but he was filled with lingering fear internally. The outward composure he displayed was merely a facade he forced himself to maintain.
Hearing Lei Nan’s voice, Jin Xin looked at him, tears of grievance cascading down her cheeks. She, the dignified Eldest Miss Jin, had never endured such humiliation. First, Lin Feng rendered her unable to speak, and now her own boyfriend, rather than standing up for her, forcibly dragged her away and tied her up in the car. There was no way she could reconcile this in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her tears surged even more abundantly. Unable to make a sound, she inwardly screamed as if it would have been a devastating wail had she been able to voice her emotions.
"Stop crying. The fault lies with us in this matter. Do you think Lin Feng is merely Leng Mei’s boyfriend, nothing more? Let me tell you honestly—Lin Feng’s identity is beyond anything you can imagine. You’ve heard about that major incident that occurred with the Lei Family recently, haven’t you? Did you know that Lin Feng single-handedly defeated everyone in our Lei Family? Even our family’s elder—the ancestor himself—treats Lin Feng with the same reverence I’ve shown. Lin Feng has transcended the understanding of ordinary people."
"Maybe you think Lin Feng is too young to be so powerful, and that everything I’m saying is nonsense. But I can tell you with absolute certainty—ask anyone from the Lei Family, and you’ll get the same answer. Lin Feng is exactly that kind of person. Even if you don’t believe it, you’ll have to accept it. Before I left, the Family Head warned me not to do anything to upset Lin Feng under any circumstances if I encountered him. And now, we’ve really run into him, yet you’ve already offended him—what kind of mess is this!?"
"Now I’m taking you back to the family—to wait for our family’s decision regarding this matter. The prospects don’t look good. I think you should contact your family as well. Let me be blunt—if Lin Feng wants to act against your Jin Family, you wouldn’t even know how your family got destroyed. Don’t assume I’m just making wild threats; in fact, I’m downplaying the severity. Believe me or don’t—it’s your choice."
Looking at Jin Xin’s devastated state, Lei Nan felt heartache. He chose his words deliberately, hoping Jin Xin could understand his justification. He had said more than enough, even things he shouldn’t have spoken. If Jin Xin still refused to listen, there would be nothing more he could do. As the saying goes, "You reap what you sow..."
Initially, Jin Xin felt endlessly wronged, but after hearing Lei Nan’s words, it was as if lightning struck her. She was utterly stunned and dumbfounded. She had never imagined Lin Feng could be such a figure—an existence beyond comprehension. She couldn’t find any other words to describe Lin Feng apart from "unbelievable."
She might not trust others, but she absolutely trusted Lei Nan’s words. Regarding this matter, Lei Nan had always shown overwhelming fear of Lin Feng—which she had witnessed herself. She knew Lei Nan had no need to conceal anything from her here. Even if she were skeptical, she couldn’t deny that everything Lei Nan said was true. Lin Feng truly was an existence surpassing human imagination.
Recalling Lei Nan’s latter remarks, her face instantly drained of blood. She finally recognized the magnitude of the situation. The possible consequences Lei Nan described sent chills down her spine. If her actions brought disaster upon her entire family, she would become the Lei Family’s sinner! Panic-stricken, she fumbled for her phone and quickly sent a message to her father in the family...
On the other side, Lin Feng and Leng Mei had already reached the seaside in their car.
"Feng, it’s so good to have you by my side." Leng Mei gazed at Lin Feng, blurting out these words suddenly for reasons she didn’t understand. However, the moment she said them, a deep sense of happiness washed over her. Having Lin Feng as her man made her feel like the most blessed person in the world. Thinking back to the events just before, Leng Mei was even more convinced that choosing Lin Feng was absolutely the right decision.
"You’re my woman; of course, it’s my duty to protect you. If this happens again, don’t confront it alone. As long as I’m in Tianhai, I’ll always accompany you." Lin Feng said gently as he looked at Leng Mei. Having her follow him already made him feel indebted. In such moments, if he didn’t step up, how could he call himself a man?
After speaking, Lin Feng parked the car, pulled Leng Mei into his arms without saying a word, and simply held her quietly. Tears of happiness unknowingly escaped Leng Mei’s eyes. Those words, coming from Lin Feng, were enough...
...
In just the blink of an eye, several days had passed. During this time, Lin Feng lived more freely than usual, finding rare moments of leisure. During the day, he spent time with the children, offering guidance on their cultivation. Occasionally, he would chat with Qi Zheng and give advice to the students about their cultivation.
In the evenings, Lin Feng accompanied the women, wandering the streets and watching movies. They were ecstatic—Lin Feng hadn’t spent much time with them in a long while, and his attention to them sent them into fits of joy...
...
By the fifth night, after the women had gone to sleep, Lin Feng sat atop the villa, lost in thought. He felt uneasy about the recent stretch of calmness and pondered where he might obtain materials to construct a new small world.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Lin Feng sensed a sudden surge in the concentration of spiritual energy around him. His brow furrowed instantly. Previously, the spiritual energy here had already reached a critical point; now, with more flooding in, the area was unable to contain it. The only solution to this problem would be to create a secluded small world—a place akin to the Hidden World.
There was no time now to leisurely plan out such things. The matter of the spiritual energy outburst needed immediate resolution. If left unchecked, the spiritual energy would leak, drawing other cultivators to the area. The Heaven Profound Spirit Immortal Formation gathered spiritual energy at an astonishing rate, and given Lin Feng’s modifications, its coverage now extended over all of Huaxia and a large portion of the ocean. The scale of spiritual energy being drawn to this location was truly terrifying.
Alas, some sacrifices were inevitable.
Sighing internally, Lin Feng vanished from his original spot, heading off to arrange a formation to funnel the surplus spiritual energy underground. It was the only choice available. Allowing the spiritual energy to leak and attract every cultivator around was unacceptable—it had to be wasted instead.
By the time the first rays of dawn broke, Lin Feng had already completed his task of redirecting the excess energy through a formation—all without anyone noticing. However, despite finishing this, Lin Feng felt something was still off. Under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy in the ocean’s Immortal’s Relic Mansion shouldn’t have reached such overwhelming levels of turbulence. He began to suspect that something unforeseen was about to occur. Otherwise, the world’s spiritual energy wouldn’t behave this way.
With this thought, Lin Feng summoned Zhu Tao and Leng Hao, tasking them with investigating his suspicions to confirm whether his conjecture was correct.
"Master, what’s going on?" Early in the morning, Zhu Tao asked curiously after being called over by Lin Feng.
"Brother-in-law, what’s up?" Similarly puzzled, Leng Hao inquired about Lin Feng’s intentions.
"You two will fly out today and investigate the global spiritual energy changes. Report your findings to me immediately. I sense some sort of anomaly in the world—as though spiritual energy everywhere is beginning to escalate. If this proves true, it’s not something trivial." Lin Feng spoke calmly to Zhu Tao and Leng Hao, wanting to verify his concerns. If his suspicions were correct, trouble might truly be brewing.
"Understood, Master!"
"Understood, Brother-in-law!"
Hearing Lin Feng’s command, Zhu Tao and Leng Hao agreed promptly and left without delay...
...
It turned out that Lin Feng’s instincts were spot-on. Not only did spiritual energy suddenly skyrocket throughout the Secular World, but even the Hidden World experienced similar anomalies. Such dramatic fluctuations left the four Prominent Families within the Hidden World deeply uneasy.
The Song Family was the first to act. Song Wuya quickly realized something was wrong upon noticing the anomalies and immediately went to consult the family’s elder, Song Hong, to discuss how to respond. Song Hong had never encountered such phenomena before, either. Left with no alternatives, Song Hong directly ordered Song Wuya to visit the Xia Family. With Lin Feng’s close ties to the Xia Family, naturally, they would receive guidance from him on how to proceed, and the Song Family could follow their lead.
Song Wuya didn’t object and set off for the Xia Family at once. What he hadn’t anticipated, however, was that the Xia Family hadn’t received any instructions from Lin Feng either. Lin Feng had merely told the Xia Family one thing: "Respond with consistency during times of change." Left with no choice, Song Wuya relayed this message back to the Song Family. Song Hong, hearing this, simply instructed Song Wuya to make adequate preparations...
Similarly, the Gu Family and Kong Family were equally worried about the situation. Gu Nantian could no longer sit still. In hopes of understanding the anomaly, he decided to visit the Kong Family, given they had Su Qi—a genuine Immortal—present. However, upon meeting Kong Lifeng, Gu Nantian learned that Su Qi had disappeared mysteriously several days earlier. Kong Lifeng was just as baffled about the situation, leaving the two men to sit and discuss their concerns.
