Chapter 1313 - 1311: Rescue the Song Family
"There are a few issues to address right now. First, I’ll immediately strengthen the Xia Family’s formation and prioritize defensive preparations. Second, the Xia Family members should take advantage of the time to recover and figure out what’s happening in the surrounding areas. Gather all the loose cultivators. If my senior brother Fang Gu isn’t tied up with anything, call him over as well. Third, I plan to visit other prominent families afterward. You must hold the fort while I’m away."
Lin Feng meticulously laid out his plans. Simply staying here wouldn’t clarify what was happening among the demon beasts, so it was essential for him to personally visit other prominent families. If possible, rallying the four major families together might be the only chance to quell this beast tide.
"We’ll follow Taoist Friend Lin’s orders, but if both you and the two Demon Kings leave, what happens if the demon beasts attack again? We won’t be able to hold them off by ourselves." After listening to Lin Feng’s arrangements, Xia Yan nodded in agreement. However, he quickly realized the critical issue. The current crisis had only been resolved because Lin Feng and the two Demon Kings were present. If they left, the Xia Family wouldn’t be able to withstand another assault from the enemy.
"You needn’t worry about that. You’ll only need to hold out for a brief period. Here—this is a symbol jade I forged. Break it, and I’ll return immediately." Lin Feng cracked a faint smile as he tossed Xia Yan a jade medallion, reassuring everyone present.
"Then there’s no problem at all!" Xia Yan felt a surge of relief upon hearing Lin Feng’s contingency plan. If it was only a matter of holding out temporarily, the Xia Family could definitely manage. With Lin Feng and the two Demon Kings’ departure posing no real risk, his worries dissipated.
"You may all attend to your respective tasks. I’ll strengthen the Xia Family’s formation right away." Seeing everything had been arranged, Lin Feng uttered this simple statement before vanishing from everyone’s sight.
"Ancestor, what actions should we take next?" Once Lin Feng left, Xia Yuntian immediately asked Xia Yan, wondering if there were any further orders to follow.
"Follow Taoist Friend Lin’s instructions. Gather the loose cultivators nearby to prepare for contingencies, especially Fang Gu over at the market—send someone to bring him here. As for everything else, proceed as planned." Xia Yan glanced at Xia Yuntian and issued his orders succinctly. After speaking, he also disappeared in a flash. After such an intense battle, he was exhausted and needed to rest and recover for unforeseen emergencies.
The group dispersed after Xia Yan’s departure, each person busily attending to their assignments.
After leaving, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something—the beast tide this time was a golden opportunity for training. Realizing this, he instantly used his divine sense to contact Xia Yunfeng, instructing him to bring over the students from the special training class. These students couldn’t miss this chance. Only by experiencing this could they truly understand what demon beasts were!
Once this arrangement was in place, Lin Feng began enhancing the Xia Family’s defense formation. In truth, the current formation was already quite impressive, so the adjustments were minimal. He simply optimized it to make the formation even more robust when activated while significantly decreasing energy consumption. This way, even if another beast tide emerged, he would be able to return in time.
With sufficient materials provided by the Xia Family, Lin Feng completed the modifications quickly. After notifying Xia Yan with his divine sense, Lin Feng disappeared completely from the Xia Family...
......
"Hold the line! We must hold the line!"
Song Wuya stood at the Song Family’s gate, engaged in a desperate battle against the demon beasts while shouting orders. At this point, he was utterly disheveled—his upper garments were nowhere to be found, several wounds inflicted by demon beasts marred his body, and blood streamed from his right arm. He truly had no options left, but as the Family Head, he had to lead from the front. Without his leadership, the demon beasts would have long since breached the Song Family’s defense formation.
"Fight!"
"Everyone, fight!"
"Damn these demon beasts, kill them all!"
...
The men of the Song Family were shouting fiercely at this moment, their adrenaline-fueled rage driving them forward. After prolonged and intense combat, piles of demon beast corpses had amassed before them. But the opposing demon beasts gave them no reprieve, forcing them to grit their teeth and press on. They didn’t know how long they could hold out, but they understood one thing: if they faltered, the Song Family would be finished. Even if they were utterly exhausted, they couldn’t afford to give up.
At this moment, the Song Family’s valley was entirely overrun by demon beasts. The skies, hills, and plains—all were filled with demon beasts charging madly, red-eyed with bloodlust, seemingly intent on destroying everything. Yet the Song Family’s defense formation blocked the beasts at its edges.
"Roar!"
"Howl..."
"Boom!"
...
Numerous collision sounds, cries of agony, and beastly roars reverberated throughout the valley, shaking the air. Despite the relentless assaults, the demon beasts couldn’t penetrate the defense formation. They were reduced to suicidal attacks, charging forward repeatedly.
On a towering mountain overlooking the Song Family, a figure appeared—it was Lin Feng, rushing over to lend aid, with the two Demon Kings perched on his shoulders. Watching the battle below, Lin Feng’s brows furrowed deeply. Although the number of demon beasts was immense, truly powerful beasts were few and far between. Overall, the beast tide here was notably weaker than what the Xia Family had faced, which was abnormal and suggested someone was targeting the Xia Family from behind the scenes.
"Boss, when are we making our move? Things aren’t looking great down there!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon glanced at the situation below and turned to Lin Feng. Now that they had arrived, it was time to push back the beast tide—it didn’t want to see so many demon beasts sacrificed in vain.
"I can’t figure out what’s going on. Who is ordering so many demon beasts to die like this? If I find out who’s behind this, I’ll burn them to ashes!" The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger growled, observing the grim scene below before adding furiously. It was enraged—demon beasts were sentient beings, and someone was deliberately sending them to their deaths. It was determined to uncover the truth behind such foolish commands!
"You can move whenever you’re ready, but we must uncover the truth. Once you’re down there, try to knock out some of the demon beasts. After the tide recedes, we’ll interrogate them to learn more." Lin Feng pondered for a moment before seriously instructing the two Demon Kings. Quelling the beast tide wasn’t the priority—finding out what had happened in the Lost Forest was.
"Understood, Boss!"
"Leave it to us!"
The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger immediately grasped Lin Feng’s intent. With a shout of acknowledgment, they rushed into the tide of demon beasts.
In an instant, both Demon Kings returned to their true forms, appearing at the edge of the beast tide. This unexpected arrival momentarily froze the battle between the demon beasts and the Song Family. Neither side anticipated the presence of the two Demon Kings, leaving them stunned and unsure how to react.
"What the hell are you all staring at? Get back to the Lost Forest immediately, or I won’t show any mercy!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon roared at the demon beasts. Its thunderous voice boomed through the valley, instantly knocking out several weaker beasts within close range. Surrounding it, blue lightning arced like the Thunder Hell itself—a terrifying spectacle.
"Roar!" The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger didn’t say a word but simply let out a deafening roar. This single roar was even more overwhelming than the Flood Dragon’s, causing a large swath of demon beasts to collapse, foaming at the mouth. The earth itself trembled as black flames emanated from the tiger, threatening to burn everything to ashes!
The arrival of the two Demon Kings delighted the Song Family members. Everyone knew the Demon Kings were Lin Feng’s subordinates, so their appearance implied Lin Feng might also be nearby, though he hadn’t shown himself yet. This realization filled the Song Family with immense relief. If Lin Feng was here, today’s crisis could be resolved seamlessly!
The Song Family Ancestor, Song Hong, broke into a satisfied smile, privately acknowledging that their decision to side with Lin Feng had been correct. If Lin Feng hadn’t come to their rescue today, the Song Family might still hold out for some time, but their ultimate collapse at the hands of the demon beasts would’ve been inevitable. Lin Feng’s intervention had saved the Song Family from ruin.
Song Hong genuinely wanted to locate Lin Feng and express his gratitude in person, but his divine sense had scanned the area thoroughly without finding any trace of Lin Feng. Watching the two Demon Kings, Song Hong felt reassured. Even if Lin Feng wasn’t present, the Demon Kings alone could still secure the desired outcome.
Meanwhile, the surrounding demon beasts were in a completely different state of mind...
They!
They’ve returned!
What... what do we do now?!
...
Seeing the two Demon Kings, the demon beasts were utterly terrified. None of them could have foreseen their arrival, leaving them paralyzed with fear and uncertain of their next move. As the Demon Kings approached, the beasts began to retreat, knowing full well what kind of beings the Demon Kings were—they were nothing in comparison!
But just as the demon beasts started to withdraw, eerie howls suddenly emerged from the rear of their horde. Instantly, their eyes began to glow an unnatural shade of red as they turned and charged at the two Demon Kings with frenzied aggression.
The two Demon Kings had encountered a similar phenomenon at the Xia Family, so they weren’t surprised by the development. Without hesitation, they dove into the sea of beasts and began fighting fiercely, engaging in an all-out battle with the endless swarm.
"Boom!"
"Roar!"
