Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1314 - 1312: Emergency Rescue

Countless thunderous noises shook the entire valley as demon beasts were sent flying, letting out anguished cries before collapsing onto the ground. The strength of the two Demon Kings was simply overwhelming, rendering all other demon beasts powerless against them. However, these beasts were ultimately their subordinates, so the Demon Kings merely knocked them unconscious without causing any serious harm.

Within a short span of time, hundreds of meters around the area had already been cleared of demon beasts, all incapacitated by the two Demon Kings. But just as they were searching for those few Exotic Monster Beasts the Xia Family had encountered earlier, for some unknown reason, the terrifying beast tide suddenly retreated.

"We’re saved!"

"This is wonderful, it’s finally gone!"

"It’s such a relief!"

...

Everyone defending in the battle at the Song Family erupted in cheers at this moment. They had endured far too much suffering during this fight, and with the retreat of the beast tide, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. For a while, their grateful gazes turned toward the two Demon Kings. Above all, they wanted to thank Lin Feng, but since Lin Feng was not present, they could only express their gratitude inwardly.

"Boss, the mission is complete."

"Boss, what do we do next?"

...

Seeing the beast tide retreat, the two Demon Kings opted not to pursue but instead returned to Lin Feng’s side, awaiting his instructions on the next steps. These demon beasts were their subordinates, and they did not wish for all of them to perish. After all, it takes considerable time and effort to form a cohesive force, and they wouldn’t want all the demon beasts in the Lost Forest to die here.

"Select a few of higher ranks; let the rest go." Lin Feng observed the two Demon Kings, fully understanding their thoughts. But in Lin Feng’s view, these demon beasts likely had their own reasons. The real problem lay among the upper echelons of the demon beasts, not with these lower-level creatures.

"Thank you, Boss! I’ll get to it immediately." The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was thrilled to hear Lin Feng’s instructions and wasted no time waking up the unconscious demon beasts and releasing them, leaving only three Infinitesimal Realm beasts behind.

Afterward, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon brought these three demon beasts to Lin Feng’s side, intending to extract some information from them. Seeing the Demon Kings personally intervene, the three beasts, surprisingly docile, quietly followed the Demon Kings to the top of the mountain.

"Communicate with them and figure out three things: First, what exactly happened in the Lost Forest? Second, what kind of creatures are those Exotic Monster Beasts? Third, why did the beast tide erupt in the Lost Forest?" Lin Feng promptly instructed upon the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon’s arrival. Since Infinitesimal Realm beasts lack the ability to speak human language, this task required the two Demon Kings to communicate. Only once the circumstances were understood would further action be possible.

"Leave it to me!" The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon agreed without hesitation and began its communication with the three beasts.

Soon, the Demon Kings gathered some information and hurried back to Lin Feng’s side to report: "Boss, their levels are too low to know anything useful. However, one thing is clear: there is now a new Demon King in the Lost Forest. None of them have ever seen this new king."

"As for those Exotic Monster Beasts, they have no idea how they appeared. It’s as though they materialized out of thin air. These beastly creatures are overwhelmingly powerful, practically ruling over the Lost Forest. The beasts dare not speak out against them and can only obey, or else they face certain death! As for the beast tide you inquired about, they know even less about it. Their status is too low to have any knowledge of such matters."

Lin Feng furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing the report. By conventional standards, Infinitesimal Realm beasts are far from the weakest among demon beasts. The fact that they lacked even basic understanding of the situation raised serious concerns. The only logical explanation was that the inclusion of Exotic Monster Beasts had completely disrupted the hierarchy among the Lost Forest’s demon beasts, leaving everything else uncertain.

Finding no answers, Lin Feng instructed the Demon Kings: "Let them go. We’ll investigate further another time."

Realizing that keeping the three beasts would serve no purpose, the Demon Kings quickly released them in accordance with Lin Feng’s orders. Once they left, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon approached Lin Feng again.

"Boss, I believe there’s something seriously wrong inside the Lost Forest. With even these demon beasts being oblivious to the situation, we must turn to our former subordinates. These peripheral beasts know nothing about the internal workings—if necessary, I, along with Old Black, can go deep into the Lost Forest to investigate."

The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was genuinely concerned about the state of the Lost Forest. After all, that place was its former domain, and although it now followed Lin Feng, it couldn’t bear to see the Lost Forest descend into chaos nor all the demon beasts face utter catastrophe. With Lin Feng’s power, no demon beast could stand against him. If Lin Feng wished, he could slaughter them all without hesitation!

"No need. The immediate priority is to force back the beast tide threatening the Four Prominent Families." Lin Feng shook his head, dismissing the Demon King’s suggestion. Right now, the key focus was rescuing those involved. Other concerns could wait for later; there was no rush.

"Understood, Boss." Obeying Lin Feng’s decision, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon did not argue further. With a simple acknowledgment, it prepared to leave with Lin Feng. Yet before they could depart, a figure suddenly shot over from the distance—it was Song Hong, the elder of the Song Family!

"Taoist Friend Lin, please wait!"

Upon noticing Lin Feng about to leave, Song Hong immediately called out, signaling for Lin Feng to stay. Allowing Lin Feng to leave without a word of thanks after saving the Song Family was unthinkable for Song Hong, who hadn’t even known Lin Feng was present until the Demon Kings arrived.

Hearing Song Hong, Lin Feng instinctively paused. Through his Divine Sense, Lin Feng had already detected Song Hong’s approach. Although he hadn’t intended to speak with Song Hong, seeing him arrive prompted a brief meeting.

Song Hong dashed forward and clasped Lin Feng’s hand tightly, his eyes brimmed with tears as he spoke: "Taoist Friend Lin, you have saved the Song Family! To leave without acknowledgment after such a great deed—how can my Song Family face the world? Please, come to the Song Family for a while so we may properly express our gratitude."

"A meeting with me is sufficient. As for visiting the Song Family, it isn’t necessary. Gratitude is also unnecessary. The Four Prominent Families are under simultaneous beast tide attacks—I just came from the Xia Family and must visit the Gu Family. None of the Four Prominent Families can be allowed to fall." Lin Feng smiled faintly, speaking in measured tones that revealed the urgency of the situation, leaving Song Hong no choice but to recognize its gravity.

Song Hong had initially hoped to bring Lin Feng to the Song Family, but upon hearing this, his expression changed sharply as he exclaimed: "What? The Four Prominent Families are all under attack by a beast tide?"

He truly had no understanding of the broader circumstances. Focused solely on fighting back the beast tide during his cultivation retreat, Song Hong had not even imagined that all four families were simultaneously under siege. If these demon beasts concentrated their efforts family-by-family, no one could possibly withstand the assaults...

"That’s the situation we face now, so I can’t afford to waste time here." Lin Feng nodded succinctly.

"Very well, Taoist Friend Lin, I won’t hold you up any longer. Should you ever find the time, my Song Family will always welcome you. As long as the Song Family exists, we will never forget your kindness." Song Hong responded solemnly, his expression growing even more grave as worries for the future clouded his thoughts. Although the Song Family had survived this wave of the beast tide, whether they could endure the next attack remained an open question.

"That’s agreeable. Take this Symbol Jade—keep it with you. Should you notice the situation deteriorating, crush it immediately, and I will come. Even if I can’t, these two will." Lin Feng said in calm tones, tossing the Symbol Jade to Song Hong, closing the matter of the Song Family on that note.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Lin! My Song Family will eternally remember your great kindness. Please accept my humble bow!" Holding the Symbol Jade, Song Hong was overcome with emotion and immediately prepared to kneel in gratitude toward Lin Feng. This token was effectively a lifeline for the Song Family, ensuring their survival in dire times.

"There’s no need for thanks. I’m leaving now." Observing Song Hong’s movements, Lin Feng quickly extended his hand to stop him, leaving behind a brief statement before vanishing into thin air, as though he had never been there.

Song Hong, still holding the Symbol Jade and standing in stupefied silence, could only sigh helplessly as Lin Feng disappeared. After a moment, he turned toward the sky and bowed three times before returning to the Song Family, realizing his presence was imperative for its defense against the next beast tide.

......

When Lin Feng appeared above the Gu Family, the situation there was already dire. It was the worst of the Four Prominent Families. Not only were demon beasts swarming across the mountains, but the defensive formation was on the brink of collapse!

Wasting no time, Lin Feng signaled the two Demon Kings to charge into battle to alleviate the Gu Family’s crisis.

Lin Feng casually perched atop a large tree, observing the chaos below as thoughts raced through his mind. What was the purpose of these relentless beast tide attacks on the Four Prominent Families? This situation was abnormal. Could it merely be an attempt to turn the Hidden World into a domain ruled by demon beasts?

The two Demon Kings fought ferociously. Having experienced the earlier battles, they wasted no effort on words, relying solely on their brute strength to repel the beast tide. In an instant, the two Demon Kings clashed with the demon beasts below in a storm of chaotic violence!

These were two Demon Kings!

Lin Feng was here!

Lin Feng had come to rescue the Gu Family!
