Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1317 - 1315: The Conspiracy Revealed

On the other side, just as Lin Feng entered the Lost Forest, something else was happening deep within its confines.

"Damn it! Why are you all running back here?! Roar!"

A monstrous wolf-like demon beast, nearly a hundred zhang in length with pure white fur emanating waves of cold qi, roared into the valley at the other beasts. A crescent-shaped blue crystal on its forehead, gleaming like ice, exuded a terrifying chill. Its fangs jutted out from its lower jaw, stretching three to four zhang. This creature was none other than the overlord of the Lost Forest—the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf!

Seeing the numerous demon beasts fleeing back into the valley, fury surged within it. What was supposed to be a guaranteed victory had fallen apart. The attacks on the Xia Family, Song Family, and Gu Family had all failed, leaving it utterly enraged!

"Boss, you can’t blame us for this. The situation changed. The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon and the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger somehow returned unexpectedly. If it weren’t for their appearance, there’s no way those humans could have stopped us. You know how powerful those two old monsters are; they’re way beyond what we can handle," the Redflame Sky-Transforming Leopard quickly explained, desperate to defend itself. It wasn’t negligence on their part—it was the sudden disruption by the two Demon Kings that ruined their plans. Otherwise, there was no way they’d have retreated!

"Yeah, Boss, those two old monsters are ridiculously strong. We can’t match their power. This really isn’t our fault," muttered the head of the demonic beasts from the group that had attacked the Song Family. It was equally frustrated. If not for encountering those two overwhelmingly strong Demon Kings, they wouldn’t have backed down either.

"Boss, it was the same with the Gu Family. You wouldn’t believe how badly we lost over there. You know the level of strength I had on my side—just a few elites. Handling the Gu Family was doable, but going up against the two Demon Kings? We stood no chance," the leader of the demonic beasts from the Gu Family front chimed in, adding to the defense. They genuinely couldn’t be blamed; how could they have known those Demon Kings would be so absurdly strong? The fact that they even made it back alive was a feat in itself.

The other demon beasts cowered on the ground, trembling in silence, too terrified to utter a word. The three leaders had already said their piece, and there wasn’t anything else for them to add...

"Weren’t those two old monsters following that human, Lin Feng? Why did they suddenly return?! Damn it!" Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf growled upon hearing the reports from its three leaders. Only now did it realize that the two Demon Kings had been the culprits. But deep down, it couldn’t help but feel puzzled—weren’t the Demon Kings supposed to be with that human? Why had they suddenly turned up again? What on earth was going on?

Despite its fury, it knew the leaders were telling the truth. They wouldn’t dare disobey its commands—especially the two exotic beast leaders; lying to it was simply out of the question. This confirmed that the two Demon Kings had indeed returned to the Hidden World.

With this train of thought, it understood that venting its anger on its subordinates wouldn’t solve anything. But even so, it could barely suppress the seething rage in its heart. It wasn’t the same as it used to be. Without exaggeration, it believed it now had the strength to kill the two Demon Kings. If they had come back to court death, it wouldn’t hesitate!

"Hear my orders! From now on, keep harassing those four Prominent Families. I want them worn down to death! If the two Demon Kings show up at any of the families, report back immediately—I’ll go kill them myself! Once we’ve wiped out these four Prominent Families and taken over their territories, we’ll gradually devour the other loose cultivators. By then, the entire Hidden World will belong to us!"

After some contemplation, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf laid out its battle strategy. Those two ancient pests had better prepare themselves—once they appeared, their lives would be forfeit. After disposing of them, nothing in the Hidden World would stand in its way!

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The three beast leaders responded sharply to Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s commands, then immediately left with their respective followers. They were actually quite exuberant at this arrangement, hoping that the Demon Kings would appear soon, only to be slaughtered by the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. Daring to ruin their plans was sheer folly, and they reveled in the thought of revenge.

In no time, the enormous valley cleared out as the demon beasts departed, leaving the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf alone. A sinister smile crept onto its lips, and it thought to itself: You two ancient pests, your days are numbered. Once I’m done with you, the entire Hidden World will finally be mine...

......

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, three or four days passed. Lin Feng, together with the two Demon Kings and the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast, roamed the Lost Forest. On one hand, they retrieved the Myriad Spirits Immortal Fruit to prevent it from falling into the hands of any other demon beasts. On the other hand, Lin Feng was searching for materials to set up formations. With those materials, taking care of the demon beasts would be a breeze.

While Lin Feng took the lead, the two Demon Kings secretly visited the four Prominent Families, quietly reconnecting with their former subordinates. When they learned of the miserable lives their old followers were living, they became enraged, eager to launch a counterattack instantly.

But Lin Feng restrained their impulsiveness. From all signs, there were still many unknown factors within the Lost Forest. More importantly, the four Prominent Families were busy fending off the beast tide. If any unexpected complications arose, there wouldn’t be enough time to react.

The Demon Kings, understanding Lin Feng’s rationale, didn’t argue. They knew he had their best interests at heart. The Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s power was no joke. Combined with the participation of numerous Demon King-level exotic beasts, even they might not escape unscathed. Thus, they begrudgingly set aside their plans and followed Lin Feng’s orders instead.

While Lin Feng was busy, Xia Yunfeng had already brought the specialized class students to the Xia Family. Per Lin Feng’s instructions, they joined forces with the Xia Family to defend against the beast tide. Initially, only Liao Chen could barely keep his composure, while the others were scared out of their wits. But once they integrated with the Xia Family and fought alongside them against the demon beasts, they gradually adapted to the battles. Their individual strength began to surge like a geyser under pressure!

Previously, these students had only focused on cultivation, without much else to challenge them. Even though they had been trained for a period, the intensity was nowhere near this level. So it was natural for their potential to explode under such stress.

The growth of these students paled in comparison to Xia Jianping’s group of children, whose progress was even more astonishing. With extensive prior experience in facing demon beasts, they slaughtered the creatures with terrifying efficiency—a level that even those in the Infinitesimal Realm could hardly match. Members of the Xia Family, including Xia Yan, were left utterly dumbfounded. Who could have imagined that these children, barely ten years old, could outperform seasoned adults? It was humiliating, yet undeniable.

As Lin Feng and the two Demon Kings remained absent, the beast tide would attack for only a few hours each day before retreating, giving the four Prominent Families a breather...

On the fifth day, Lin Feng suddenly sensed the Xia Family’s sealing stone shattering. Without hesitation, he led the two Demon Kings straight to the Xia Family, leaving the Purple Cloud Azure Dragon Beast behind for a special task.

Upon arriving at the Xia Family, a vast sea of demon beasts surrounded them, their ferocity far surpassing previous assaults. The Xia Family members were under immense pressure, yet every one of them gritted their teeth and held the line with determination.

Scanning the edge of the beast horde, Lin Feng spotted dozens of exotic demon beasts, among which loomed the giant, near-hundred-zhang figure of the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. There was no mistaking it—it was the current ruler of the Lost Forest!

So, the beast had grown impatient. Well, that suited him just fine!

Gazing at the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf from afar, Lin Feng smirked. He immediately discerned its intentions. Since things had come to this, he decided to test the waters with the two Demon Kings first. He was curious to see exactly how formidable this Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf was.

"Go. The two of you can handle this," he said calmly, gesturing to the Demon Kings to take the lead. Given that they were former rulers of the Lost Forest, this was something they were far better suited to resolve. Even if things escalated into a fight, there was nothing to worry about.

"Yes, Boss!"

"Yes, Boss!"

The Demon Kings responded curtly, then charged towards the edge of the beast horde. Along the way, they resumed their true forms and bulldozed through any demon beasts in their path, like unstoppable tanks, making their way directly to the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf!

As the Demon Kings advanced, Lin Feng’s figure blurred, and he reappeared within the Xia Family’s ranks. Standing beside the family’s elder patriarch, he carefully observed the unfolding battle.

The sudden arrival of the Demon Kings stunned the once-raging demon beasts, filling them with dread. None had expected the two Demon Kings to return so abruptly. For a moment, the beast tide’s ferocity waned, giving the embattled Xia Family a much-needed reprieve.

Lin Feng’s guess had been spot on. Over the past few days, the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf’s inability to locate the Demon Kings had left it restless, its patience wearing thin. Finally, it couldn’t hold back any longer and personally led the charge against the Xia Family. Since Lin Feng was allied with the Xia Family and the Demon Kings were under Lin Feng’s command, it reasoned that attacking the Xia Family would eventually draw out the Demon Kings.

Just as expected, after only a brief assault on the Xia Family, the Demon Kings appeared. This realization filled the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf with glee—if the Demon Kings were delivering themselves on a silver platter, then it would be more than happy to take them down.

By now, the two Demon Kings had reached the Ice Moon Soaring Heaven Wolf. Seeing the beast up close, their fury ignited. Were it not for Lin Feng’s restraint, they would have eradicated this accursed wolf long ago, never allowing it to behave so arrogantly!
