Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1316 - 1314: The Advancing Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf

"How could it possibly be him! He used to rank third, and his strength is far inferior to Old One and Old Two!"

"This is impossible! His talent is lacking. How could someone like him dominate the Lost Forest?"

The two Demon Kings could hardly believe that the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was now the one ruling the Lost Forest. After all, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf used to rank merely third among their subordinates, far behind the Blue Underworld Fox in first place and the Earthshaker Bear in second. How could it be this guy, whom they had never regarded highly, now controlling the entire Lost Forest?

When Lin Feng heard the two Demon Kings say this, he found it odd as well. According to their words, it seemed like the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf truly lacked the strength to claim dominance over the Lost Forest. And yet, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast’s assertion suggested otherwise. Could there be some hidden truth behind this?

"There’s no such thing as impossible, Boss. Do you know what happened? Old Three is no longer the Old Three of the past. Somehow, he stumbled upon extraordinary luck, discovered a secret realm that no one had ever found before, and disappeared for two or three months. When he returned, his strength had already risen to a level equal to yours. Seeing that you weren’t in the Lost Forest anymore, he brought back powerful Exotic Monster Beasts from the secret realm and forcibly took over the entire forest. Old One and Old Two joined forces to try to eliminate him, but not only did they fail, they were both killed by Old Three..."

Speaking of the events in the Lost Forest, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast looked grim. Truth be told, it really didn’t want to witness such a scenario, but things had already come to pass, and there was nothing it could do about it. For the sake of survival, it endured endless humiliation in the Lost Forest, solely waiting for the return of the two Demon Kings to demand justice!

"So that’s how it happened!"

"Old Three actually did such a thing!"

After hearing the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast’s story, the two Demon Kings were so furious that they breathed heavily. They hadn’t expected so much to happen during their absence with Lin Feng. Thinking of how Old One and Old Two, who had been so loyal, were killed by Old Three, they were filled with rage, wishing they could storm into the Lost Forest right then and kill the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf!

Lin Feng, too, was stunned upon hearing the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast’s tale. Like the Demon Kings, he hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events within the Lost Forest. It turned out to be linked to the discovery of a new secret realm, and the Exotic Monster Beasts came from there. For a moment, he grew curious about this secret realm and wanted to understand what kind of place it was!

However, now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Turning to the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast, Lin Feng asked his second question: "What’s the deal with the beast tide this time? Do you know anything about it?"

"Of course I know. The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf wants to kill off all the humans in the Hidden World so that the Exotic Monster Beasts from the secret realm can emerge. At the time, almost all the Demon Beasts opposed this plan, but now there’s no one who can defeat the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. In fact, not even its Exotic Monster Beasts can be defeated—they possess a peculiar ability to influence the minds of Demon Beasts within a certain range. Any beast that resists is immediately killed. Now, the Demon Beasts in the Lost Forest lead lives in constant fear, worrying about when they’ll be next."

"So the only hope for survival lies in following the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s orders and launching a beast tide attack. At least this way, with some luck, they might survive. Bosses, Lin Boss, you have to rescue the Demon Beasts in the Lost Forest. Living in terror day after day... we can’t take it anymore..."

Looking at Lin Feng and the two Demon Kings, the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast added again. In this situation, it was utterly helpless and could only think of ways to protect itself. Otherwise, as a non-combatant Demon Beast, it would have long since lost its life.

It was at this point that Lin Feng and the two Demon Kings finally understood what was going on in the Lost Forest. Instantly, their faces became grave. Things were far worse than they had anticipated, but now that it was like this, they could only take it one step at a time.

With that thought in mind, Lin Feng planned to leave immediately with the two Demon Kings and the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast, heading to their next destination—the Kong Family. But just like with the Song Family earlier, before he had even begun his journey, the Gu Family’s Gu Tianxiong appeared before Lin Feng along with Gu Nantian.

"Many thanks to Taoist Friend Lin for saving the Gu Family. I am Gu Tianxiong, the old ancestor of the Gu Family. The favor you’ve done for us today is unforgettable. Please accept this old man’s humble bow!" Gu Tianxiong looked at Lin Feng with deep respect and said earnestly. His words carried genuine gratitude. After speaking, he immediately bowed to Lin Feng. It’s worth noting that Gu Tianxiong was the oldest and most powerful of the four Prominent Families’ ancestors in the Hidden World. He had been renowned for centuries, and it was rare to see him bow to anyone. This clearly demonstrated his attitude toward Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, your magnanimity and tolerance truly put me, as the Family Head, to shame. Thank you very much for saving the Gu Family. Here and now, let me offer my apologies!" Gu Nantian, seeing the old ancestor speak like this, could only grit his teeth and bow deeply to Lin Feng to express his gratitude and apology. Internally, he was fuming—what was this all about anyway? If not for the old ancestor leading him here, he would never have come to thank Lin Feng. The thought of Lin Feng made his blood boil, but since the old ancestor had already spoken, he had no choice but to comply.

"There’s no need to thank me; it was just a small effort." Lin Feng didn’t think much of Gu Nantian, but he found the Gu Family’s old ancestor Gu Tianxiong quite amiable, so he responded with a smile. It was apparent that Gu Tianxiong’s sincere words were genuine, and that alone was enough.

"A favor is a favor. If it’s convenient, I’d like to invite Taoist Friend Lin to visit the Gu Family so we can express our hospitality to the fullest," Gu Tianxiong said, unfazed by Lin Feng’s casual tone. On the contrary, he extended an invitation. Lin Feng had reached the level of a true Human Immortal Realm cultivator, so his actions were beyond reproach. Gu Tianxiong genuinely hoped for an opportunity to discuss things with Lin Feng.

"That won’t be necessary. I’m headed to the Kong Family next to see how things are over there. All four Prominent Families have been hit by the beast tide, and I don’t want to delay in finding out what’s happening with the Kong Family." Upon hearing the invitation, Lin Feng shook his head lightly and answered casually. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give Gu Tianxiong face, but the current situation was dire, so he didn’t want to waste any time or cause misunderstanding.

After speaking, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something about the Symbol Jade. He casually tossed a piece to Gu Tianxiong and gave him instructions: "This Symbol Jade is something I refined. If the Gu Family finds itself unable to hold out, crush it ahead of time and inform me. I’ll arrange for rescue. Also, maintain open communication with the Xia Family. If anything happens, you can help each other out."

"Taoist Friend Lin, thank you!" Holding the Symbol Jade in his hand, Gu Tianxiong was overcome with gratitude. With this Symbol Jade, the Gu Family wouldn’t need to worry even if another beast tide came its way. This sentiment left him unsure of how to express his thanks to Lin Feng. Ultimately, he settled on simple yet heartfelt words, as they were the most sincere.

Lin Feng gave a faint smile at Gu Tianxiong’s response, then waved his hand and vanished from sight.

"Old Ancestor, let’s head back as well." Seeing Lin Feng leave, Gu Nantian turned to Gu Tianxiong for direction. Staring at the spot where Lin Feng had disappeared, he allowed a sinister smile to creep onto his lips. Lin Feng may seem invincible now, but he believed that it wouldn’t take long before Lin Feng’s fortunes changed. Once the opportunity arose, there was no way he wouldn’t eliminate Lin Feng!

"Nantian, handle the Gu Family’s affairs as you see fit, but I hope you recognize the situation clearly and avoid leading the Gu Family into a path of destruction!" After casting a glance at Gu Nantian, Gu Tianxiong shook his head, leaving a parting remark before vanishing as well. He had said all he needed to say, and if Gu Nantian insisted on pursuing his own path, he wouldn’t intervene further.

This...

Watching the spot where the old ancestor had vanished, recalling his words, Gu Nantian’s heart couldn’t be more conflicted. He thought to himself, "What could the old ancestor be thinking? Lin Feng represents an enormous threat to the Gu Family. With him around, there’s no chance of the Gu Family rising to prominence. Killing Lin Feng is an absolute necessity. There might not be a good opportunity right now, but it will come eventually. When it does, Lin Feng must die! Only then can the Gu Family suppress the Xia Family. Otherwise, as long as Lin Feng remains, that idea will never materialize."

"Lin Feng, stop pretending to be righteous and virtuous. When the time comes, I’ll deal with you..." Frustrated beyond measure, he muttered the venomous words to himself and then left. To Gu Nantian, Lin Feng’s act of saving the Gu Family was nothing more than an attempt to grandstand; he refused to believe Lin Feng had acted out of genuine kindness...

......

The beast tide hitting the Kong Family was just as fierce. Waves upon waves of Demon Beasts threw themselves forward without regard for death, surging like a ceaseless ocean. Faced with such an onslaught, the Kong Family was fighting with everything they had. Aided by their Defense Formation, nearly every man in the Kong Family had joined the battle to defend their city, hacking down Demon Beasts climbing the walls one after another.

High above the Kong Family, Su Qi floated with her brows furrowed tightly. This was the first time she had encountered such a dire situation. Although her strength was formidable, allowing her to unleash wide-ranging lethal techniques, the Demon Beasts simply didn’t give her the chance. The flying Demon Beasts around her kept their focus on her, sending wave after wave of sacrifices to disrupt her spell-casting whenever she attempted anything powerful. This infuriating situation left her feeling helpless, wondering why she had to face such a frustrating predicament.

Still, Su Qi was making an immense difference. At the very least, she had single-handedly restrained all the flying Demon Beasts in the air, allowing the people below in the Kong Family to fight without concerns of aerial threats. Though the battle was brutal, it wasn’t dangerous. And even when particularly strong Demon Beasts emerged, they were swiftly killed by the Kong Family’s old ancestor, leaving Su Qi no need to intervene.

Lin Feng didn’t even reach the Kong Family’s domain before he extended his Divine Sense to evaluate their situation. Seeing that their defensive measures were holding strong, Lin Feng changed direction halfway and headed straight for the Lost Forest instead. He wasn’t seeking to kill Demon Beasts but aimed to collect Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruits. Now that the Hidden World was facing the united aggression of all Demon Beasts, boosting the cultivators’ strength with Elixirs was a necessity. The Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruit was a key ingredient for crafting the Myriad Spirits Creation Pill. If the pill could be refined, the Hidden World would be assured of victory against this beast tide.

The two Demon Kings and the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast said nothing, following Lin Feng into the Lost Forest...
