Chapter 1311 - 1309: Treatment
"Mr. Lin, on behalf of the entire Xia Family, I sincerely thank you. If it weren’t for you, our Xia Family might no longer exist. Please accept our deepest gratitude," said the Xia Family Patriarch, Xia Yuntian, as he bowed deeply to Lin Feng. His voice trembled with emotion as he expressed his heartfelt thanks. This was truly what he felt in his heart—this time, the beast horde’s attack had been far more ferocious than anyone could have anticipated. If it weren’t for Lin Feng and the two Demon Kings’ intervention, the Xia Family would have been utterly annihilated. He simply didn’t know how to express his gratitude to Lin Feng.
With the ancestor and patriarch speaking in such a manner, the elders of the Xia Family followed suit, bowing deeply to Lin Feng. This was the only thing they could do now, and the only way to express their sincerity.
"It was just a trivial matter, no need to dwell on it. Everyone, stand up and start clearing the battlefield, tending to the wounded. Don’t waste time here. If there’s something to discuss, let’s talk inside," Lin Feng said, waving his hand as he saw the display, signaling everyone to disperse. To him, this had been no great effort and did not warrant such overwhelming gratitude.
The Xia Family members, however, were unmoved by Lin Feng’s words and continued kneeling on the ground. Observing this, Xia Yan also felt that remaining in such a position wasn’t ideal, so he added, "Everyone, do as Taoist Friend Lin said."
Only after hearing their ancestor’s words did the crowd rise and begin to disperse, heading off to tend to their wounds and clean up the battlefield...
Once the crowd had left, Xia Lalan excused herself to go check on her family. Only then did Xia Yan and Xia Yuntian lead Lin Feng to the Xia Family’s council hall. After being seated as host and guest, Lin Feng began his inquiry.
"What exactly happened this time? Do you have any information? There’s no way something like this could have occurred without some reason, right?" Lin Feng asked Xia Yan with a serious expression. He genuinely wanted to understand what was going on so he could decide his next steps.
"Frankly, it’s embarrassing to admit—we still don’t know why the beast horde suddenly appeared. Previously, we only noticed some unusual behavior from the Demon Beasts, so we sent Yunfeng to the Secular World to find you all. But no one expected the beast horde’s arrival—it besieged the Xia Family without any warning. If it weren’t for the defense formation protecting us, the Xia Family wouldn’t have any survivors, myself included," Xia Yan admitted with a tone heavy with shame. Like Lin Feng, he was bewildered and couldn’t understand why the Demon Beasts had fixated on the Xia Family so aggressively. It was something no one could have predicted.
"What the ancestor said is true. No one knows what’s behind this. Our forces have no clue what the Demon Beasts are after..." Xia Yuntian added, his tone riddled with confusion as well. The intelligence system had yielded no information before the beast horde struck, catching the Xia Family completely off guard. Nobody had imagined such a disaster could befall them.
Upon hearing Xia Yan and Xia Yuntian’s words, Lin Feng nodded. He could already sense the abnormality of the situation. Such a sudden uprising among the Demon Beasts could not simply be a coincidence. Lin Feng suspected that the appearance of those Exotic Monster Beasts in the Lost Forest had triggered the chaos, leading to the current offensive.
Given the severity of the situation, Lin Feng knew it was imperative to uncover the cause of the Demon Beast rebellion. Turning to Xia Yuntian, he said, "Patriarch, we must identify the reason behind the Demon Beast uprising. Only then can we devise a solution. This task falls to the Xia Family."
The moment Lin Feng finished speaking, Xia Yuntian hastened to reply.
"The Xia Family’s intelligence system has nearly been wiped out. Even if we wanted to investigate, we simply lack the means. It’s not about unwillingness but rather a case of being unable to make bricks without straw," Xia Yuntian explained, his tone full of helplessness. Had they known why the beasts had suddenly revolted, the Xia Family wouldn’t have faced such hasty resistance or fallen into their current dire straits.
Listening to Xia Yuntian’s explanation, Lin Feng began to grasp the gravity of the situation. It was worse than he’d anticipated. Reflecting on the behaviors of the Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard earlier, Lin Feng had formed some preliminary guesses, but he refrained from sharing them for now—he didn’t want to cause unnecessary panic.
"In that case, let’s handle things here first. Afterward, try to contact the other three Prominent Families. I suspect their situations might be dire as well," Lin Feng suggested after a brief moment of thought.
"The other three Prominent Families? Are you suggesting they’ve also been attacked by a beast horde?" Xia Yuntian froze in place, his face filled with disbelief. He had never considered the possibility of the other families facing similar assaults. Could it really be true? Had the Demon Beasts launched an all-out offensive?
"It’s just my speculation. Contact them and confirm for yourself," Lin Feng nodded and said calmly.
"Alright, I’ll reach out immediately!" Xia Yuntian hurriedly agreed, promptly turning to leave. He was truly terrified that Lin Feng’s prediction might be accurate. If such widespread attacks were indeed happening, the Hidden World would be plunged into unprecedented danger. The very survival of humanity within the Hidden World could be at stake!
After Xia Yuntian left, Xia Yan looked at Lin Feng and couldn’t help but ask, "Taoist Friend Lin, what should we do now? If another beast horde arrives, the Xia Family won’t be able to withstand it!"
Xia Yan was genuinely anxious and worried, especially if Lin Feng’s speculation turned out to be correct. The consequences would be unimaginable. With the Xia Family already battered by the recent assault, suffering heavy casualties—if another wave were to come, even with the help of their formation, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
"No need to worry since I’m here. I’ll adjust the formation soon—it should hold without issue. However, I’m short on materials right now, so you’ll need to gather them," Lin Feng said with a light smile, his tone full of confidence. There was no way trouble would arise while he was present. He only needed the resources to reinforce the formation, ensuring the Xia Family’s safety.
"Thank you, Taoist Friend Lin. Just let us know what materials are needed. The Xia Family has enough reserves to meet your requirements," Xia Yan promptly expressed his gratitude, genuinely relieved and elated. With Lin Feng’s intervention, he believed the defense would be impenetrable, safeguarding the Xia Family from further catastrophe.
The other elders also stood up at this moment to express their thanks to Lin Feng. Knowing Lin Feng’s formidable strength, they felt secure. After all, Lin Feng wasn’t just any cultivator—he was practically a living Immortal. With him here, combined with the protection of the two Demon Kings, they were confident the Xia Family would weather this storm.
"Then it’s settled. Everyone should focus on their tasks. Ensure the battlefield is properly cleared; if diseases arise, that’ll only make matters worse. For the severely injured who can’t be treated effectively, bring them to me—I’ll stabilize their condition first," Lin Feng said, giving brief instructions for the next steps after confirming Xia Yan could provide the necessary materials.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s directives, Xia Yan and the elders immediately got to work, each attending to their assigned tasks.
Before long, the materials for the formation, along with the gravely injured, were brought to the council hall. Lin Feng did not hesitate; with a wave of his hand, the materials vanished into his Space Ring, leaving Xia Yan and the elders stunned. They couldn’t fathom where Lin Feng stored the materials, but recalling his identity as an Immortal, they dismissed their confusion over the matter.
After securing the materials, Lin Feng approached the severely wounded. The injuries among those brought to the council hall were severe—some individuals had lost arms, others had gaping chest wounds that exposed internal organs, and some had no visible wounds but exhibited swollen abdomens, signs of severe internal injuries. Many were covered in deep gashes that cut to the bone...
Seeing the extent of the injuries, Lin Feng furrowed his brow. He hadn’t expected the damage to be this dire. In the Secular World, hospitals would be able to perform surgeries to address such trauma, but the Hidden World lacked modern medicine—here, everything relied on elixirs. Injuries of this magnitude were beyond the scope of elixir-based healing. If not for Lin Feng’s presence, these individuals would likely have succumbed to their wounds.
Resolving to act, Lin Feng approached the most gravely injured individual, swiftly extracting a set of silver needles with a flick of his hand. With another wave, the needles hovered in mid-air before plunging into the patient’s body. As soon as the needles pierced flesh, the bleeding halted, leaving Xia Yan and the elders dumbfounded. They had never seen such a miraculous method to stop blood flow before—it was entirely new to them.
What they hadn’t expected was that this was merely the beginning; what followed was even more beyond their imagination!
After stopping the first patient’s bleeding, Lin Feng moved on to another severely injured individual. Again, he waved his hand, inserting silver needles into their body and repeating the process. He systematically used the silver needles to halt bleeding for all the wounded within the hall. Once this task was complete, Lin Feng instructed the others to gather these patients together, leaving Xia Yan and the elders perplexed. They couldn’t fathom his intentions.
Amid their puzzled gazes, Lin Feng closed his eyes. Golden threads of Gang Qi began to radiate from his body, flowing like living entities that encased the injured individuals in golden light. The entire council hall was bathed in brilliance, leaving Xia Yan and the elders utterly astonished...
My goodness, what kind of healing method is this!
This... this is beyond incredible! What on earth is Lin Feng doing?
No one could have imagined Lin Feng capable of such feats—it was simply unbelievable!
